COURSE OVERVIEW:

This comprehensive course, focusing on Process Engineering basics, introduces participants to the fundamental principles, concepts, and tools used by process engineers to improve operating performance and increase productivity. The course explains how process engineering fits into the overall plant lifecycle, from design through operation and optimization, and highlights the links between process concepts, equipment behavior, operating conditions, and safety. Participants will gain a practical understanding of process variables, unit operations, material and energy balances, basic process calculations, and documentation such as process flow diagrams and piping and instrumentation diagrams. Practical exercises and case studies will help participants apply what they learn to simple, real-world process situations.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

1. Explain the role of process engineering in the design, operation, and optimization of industrial process plants.
2. Describe basic process concepts, including process streams, phases, key process variables, and operating conditions.
3. Understand the principles of common unit operations such as separation, heating, cooling, and simple reaction systems at an introductory level.
4. Read and interpret basic process flow diagrams and simplified piping and instrumentation diagrams.
5. Apply introductory material and energy balance concepts to simple process examples.
6. Recognize the main types of process equipment (vessels, pumps, heat exchangers, columns) and describe their basic functions.
7. Understand the fundamentals of fluid flow and pressure drop in pipelines at a basic level.
8. Describe the purpose of basic process control and instrumentation in maintaining stable operation.
9. Identify key safety, environmental, and operability considerations that process engineers must address.
10. Use simple process engineering techniques and structured thinking to support troubleshooting and performance improvement in real operating scenarios.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Engineers new to process engineering roles

-Graduate and junior process or chemical engineers

-Project, maintenance, and operations engineers needing a foundation in process engineering

-Supervisors and technical staff who interact with process engineers

-Other technical professionals seeking to understand process engineering basics

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions, as well as case studies, will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer. The course will be intensive but practical and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance learning. Course material through PowerPoint equipped with necessary animation, learning videos, and general discussions will be provided.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants who complete at least 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
