CHEN 4371 Chemical Plant Design II
This course is a direct continuation of CHEN 4170 (Chemical Plant Design I). In this capstone course, students will apply concepts learned in previous courses to design a plant for a chemical process assigned by the instructor. The process designed must be in accordance with industrial, federal, and local regulations. The design will involve an integrated approach that includes specific information about components of a chemical plant, and accounts for factors such as installation, maintenance, economics, the environment, and ethics. The modeling and optimization of the process will be assisted with software like ASPEN Plus, Microsoft Excel, and MATLAB.
