Course Description

This course will study the interrelationship of process equipment and process systems: arranging process equipment into basic systems; describing the purpose and function of specific process systems; explaining how factors affecting process systems are controlled under normal conditions; and recognizing abnormal process conditions. In addition, it introduces the concept of system and plant economics.
