A Highly Interactive Training Course On
Chemical Engineering for Non-Chemical Engineers
An Introduction to Core Concepts, Processes & Applications
Course Introduction
The Chemical Engineering for Non-Chemical Engineers training course is tailored for professionals who need a working knowledge of chemical engineering, along with an understanding of related fields such as mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation engineering. This multidisciplinary approach is vital, as process engineering forms the backbone of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.
Process engineers are concerned with the movement and transformation of materials—solids, liquids, and gases. In the oil and gas industry in particular, key areas include separation processes like distillation, heat exchange, fluid flow, reaction engineering, as well as process control and economic analysis. This course emphasizes the fundamental principles and practical aspects of process engineering, equipping participants with the tools to grasp and apply essential concepts effectively.
This training course will feature:
- A practical introduction to the fundamentals of process engineering
- Key areas applicable to major process industries especially oil, gas & petrochemical
- Process Engineering influence on Safety and Risk
- Optimisation of process design and control
- Costs and project costing
Training Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand fundamental principles used in processes and facilities
- Apply practical understanding of hydraulics and fluid flow
- Apply learning from historical safety incidents
- Perform relevant calculations & analyses to assist in operation, sizing & troubleshooting
- Develop perspective & focus from a company viewpoint of interaction of different engineering disciplines
Training Methodology
This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes formal lectures and discussions, active participation through the use of problem-solving exercises, videos, group discussions, analysis of real-life case studies and industry best practices. Case studies and examples will cover a range of levels, making the course also suitable non-technical staff.
Who should Attend?
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit professionals without a chemical engineering background who work in process-related industries. It is suitable for:
- Mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation staff
- Operations and maintenance personnel
- Safety and reliability engineers
- Project and cost engineers
- Non-technical staff supporting engineering teams
- Supervisors and technical managers
Participants will gain essential knowledge to support process operations and cross-functional collaboration.
