Pre-Conference Workshop
Chemical Engineering Process Simulation
Process simulation is commonly used in the modern chemical process industry. Graduates need to be ready to utilise this technology correctly and effectively when they join the industry workforce. In many cases, there is a disconnect between the simulation environment and the fundamental engineering concepts, the process simulator is treated as an “Oracle”, and is often misused.
The aim of the workshop is:
- To demonstrate to fellow academics on how to incorporate concepts from fundamental chemical engineering subjects into process modelling or simulation environment
- To learn the fundamentals of how to set up models, execute simulations and interpret the results correctly.
- To gain a basic understanding of chemical engineering process simulation packages
