Principles of Economics and Process Design
- Start designing of industrial plants
• Product selection for production
• Introducing important economic parameters in investment
• Introduction to the production chain
• Introduction to financing contracts
- Process development : from the initial idea to the chemical production plant
Introduction of stages from the initial idea to production of industrial plants
• Methods of using technical resources of chemical engineering
- Process design development : from the initial idea to the chemical production plan
Introduction of stages from the initial idea to production of industrial plants
• Process Optimization
- Process design development:
• Introduction of design types
• Project Feasibility survey
- Steps of Pre-feasibility study
- Approximate design of equipments, estimation of investment and production costs in PFS
• Types of flow diagram processes
- Design and specifications of equipment
- Comparison and selection of different processes
- Review of case study of PFS
- Computer Aided Design: Introducing of main Chemical Engineering Softwares
- Cost estimation:
Cost components of industrial plants
• Total Investment Cost (TCI )
- Total Investment Investment (TCI)
• cost indexes
• Equipment cost estimation methods
• Cost Estimation of pipeline
• Estimation methods of TCI
- Introduction and Estimation of Total production Costs (TPC)
- Interest
- General design considerations:
