Educational objectives The course describes a systematic procedure for conceptual design of chemical processes. The most commonly used schemes in the chemical industry are introduced and described, with particular reference to block diagrams, process diagrams and P&ID. The process synthesis procedure is based onto a hierarchical approach which defines the structure of the basic process diagram and its automatic control system. The use of short-cut calculation rules allows a preliminary equipment sizing. Both of these activities are the basis for the plant economic performance estimation, determined through the evaluation of the investment costs, operating costs and profitability, also evaluated with respect to the possible uncertainty of the parameters set for the analysis. The role of commercial steady state process simulator in the analysis and synthesis of chemical processes is introduced. These contents are functional in understanding the flowsheet of a chemical process and allow to quickly generate, develop and evaluate process alternatives, to understand the relationships between the chemical reaction (selectivity, reversible secondary reactions, etc.) and the structure of the flowsheet, and to model processes using commercial software.
