Process Plant Design Course


Educational Institute for Equipment and Process Design

Description:
Don’t think that the course is about reviewing some previous documents from previous projects!
In fact, in this package, you will learn how to design a process plant from zero to fully fledged
state. Throughout the lectures you will learn which documents should be created and how they
should be created. The documents that are handed-down from licensing companies to
engineering companies and from engineering companies to owner of the plants, you will master
all of them throughout this course.

Who should take this course?


1.Process engineers
2.Control room operators
3.Chemical engineers
4.R&D engineers

Notes
1.The Process Plant Design course will be available in both online and offline modes to
enthusiasts. By online mode, the enthusiasts can participate in online classes while by
offline mode, the enthusiast can only watch offline videos.

2.Notice that the enthusiasts who choose online mode will also receive offline
package so that they can review what they have learned in online classes.

3.It is obvious that in both modes, the whole package including videos, documents, excel
sheets will be provided.

Questionnaire
Answer the following questions to help you take the course or not.
1.Do you know how to read, exploit, write “Process Design Criteria” document during basic
design, detailed design, and project phases?
2.Do you know how to prepare datasheet for control valves and pumps?
3.Do you know how to develop PFD and P&ID for process applications?
4.Do you know how to determine PSV scenarios for the whole process plant?
5.Do you know how to prepare “Process Emergency Description” and “Cause and Effect Matrix”
documents?
6.Do you know how to select control valve types and flow meter types for process applications?

Be honest with yourself and for each question give yourself a score out of 10. If the sum is less
than 30, then take the course; if the score is between 30 to 50, consult with us. If it is more than
50, we think you don’t need to take it.
