Professional Certificate of Competency in Chemical Engineering and Plant Design

This professional development course is designed for engineers and technicians who need practical knowledge in the fundamentals of chemical engineering, including plant layout and procedures.

Process plants, such as refineries and petrochemical plants, are complex facilities consisting of equipment, piping systems, instruments, electrical systems, electronics, computers, and control systems.

The design, engineering, and construction of process plants involve a multidisciplinary team effort. Process design, plant layout, and design of piping systems constitute a significant part of the engineering effort. The objective is to design safe and dependable processing facilities cost-effectively.

This course provides you with the necessary knowledge and skills in the disciplines of chemical engineering and plant design to facilitate faster learning curves while on the job.

Upon completion of this course, you will have a clear understanding of the design and engineering principles used in the design of process plants.
