CHEN 465 - Process Design Using Computers

Course Description
HYSYS software is used to design surface facilities. This includes separators, fractionation columns, dehydration systems, a chemical plant and other equipment design. Dynamic simulation of a chemical plant is included with controller tuning and adjustment; the effect of tuning parameters on process stability and behaviour is investigated. PIPESYS software is used to calculate and simulate flows in pipes and pipeline systems, with heat transfer from the pipeline, and offshore pipelines are modeled which are partly exposed to the atmosphere, immersed in seawater and buried. A design project is carried out by students using the above simulators.
