Safety and Sustainability Case Studies

This subject provides insight to process work in process engineering, focusing specifically on process safety and sustainability. Material taught in other chemical engineering subjects will be reinforced via a series of assignments in which ill-defined and open-ended process engineering problems will be tackled. Both hypothetical and real case studies from the process engineering field are used throughout the subject. Several

• 1Approach and solve open-ended design problems in the field of process engineering
• 2Place problems being solved within the context in which engineering processes take place
• 3Be able to evaluate data from a range of sources to allow a coherent professional engineering technical report to be prepared
• 4Use high-level team management techniques
• 5Gain advanced skills in the use of process engineering software
• 6Be able to lay out a Chemical Process Engineering facility
• 7Design and modify Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams
• 8Access and use Australian Standards for equipment design
• 9Use pinch and energy analysis techniques to minimise plantwide energy consumption
• 10Perform HAZOP and QRA safety analyses
• 11Construct an Environmental Impact Assessment
• 12Use sustainable engineering techniques, such as Life Cycle Analysis
