529-0549-01L | Case Studies in Process Design I | 3 credits | 3A | K. Hungerbühler, E. Capón García, U. Fischer | |
Abstract | The focus of part I of the case study course lies on the literature-based comparison of chemical process alternatives. Based on this compilation and selected quantitative as well as qualitative measures a process assessment and comparison is conducted and the most promising process alternative is chosen for further evaluation, and a basic flowsheet and mass and energy balances are generated. | ||||
Objective | - to obtain knowledge about different databases and sources of information - application of the knowledge obtained in lectures - problem-oriented problem solving (application of different methods to the same subject) - team work - report writing and presentation techniques | ||||
Content | The focus of part I of the case study course lies on the literature-based comparison of chemical process alternatives. For this purpose relevant substance data (i.e. physico-chemical, toxicological, safety, and environmental data) as well as information about synthesis routes and technical implementations (i.e. on reaction kinetics; possible separation operations; economic, safety, and environmental aspects) are collected from the literature. Based on this compilation and selected quantitative as well as qualitative measures a process assessment and comparison is conducted and the most promising process alternative is chosen for further evaluation. For this alternative a basic flowsheet and mass and energy balances are generated. |
