Introduction to Process Technology

Process Technology 2—Systems—study of common process systems found in the chemical process industry, including related scientific principles. Includes study of pump and compressor systems, heat exchangers and cooling tower systems, boilers and furnace systems, distillation systems, reaction systems, utility system, separation systems, plastics systems, instrument systems, water treatment, and extraction systems. Computer console operation is often included in systems training. Emphasizes scale-up from laboratory (glassware) bench to pilot unit. Describe unit operation concepts solve elementary chemical mass/energy balance problems interpret analytical data and apply distillation, reaction, and fluid flow principles. 

PSM standard—a governmental process safety management standard designed to prevent the catastrophic release of toxic, hazardous, or flammable materials that could lead to a fire, explosion, or asphyxiation. 

Safety, Health, and Environment—course in which students gain knowledge and skills to reinforce the attitudes and behaviors required for safe and environmentally sound work habits. Emphasizes safety, health, and environmental issues in the performance of all job tasks, and covers regulatory compliance issues.
