Process equipment essentials for a successful career start

🛠️ Course Title: Process Equipment Essentials for a Successful Career

Overview of Critical Components in Process Industry

The process industries are at a crossroads. A growing concern among senior technical managers in major corporations is the disappearing general knowledge of how process equipment operates. Despite advancements in technology and chemistry, the core process equipment—pipe valves, vessels, tanks, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, distillation systems, and steam traps—has remained relatively unchanged since the 1930s. These fundamental components of chemical processes are not likely to see significant modifications in the future.

Introduction to Process Equipment Operation

The chemical engineer has traditionally been the guardian of process knowledge. However, if we observe that this fundamental knowledge is vanishing from our universities, one might question whether the root of the issue lies within the educational framework itself.

In this online course, we strip back the layers of complexity and return to the basics. Our approach is straightforward: we explain “Here is how the equipment behaves in the field, and this is why.” In every section and video lecture, we focus on practical applications and real-world scenarios to ensure a solid understanding of process equipment.

Course Content Breakdown
