Synthesise a maximum heat recovery system for a process.ILO2. Select heating and cooling utilities required to service a process design.ILO3. Synthesise the control systems for individual process operations and overall chemical processes.ILO4. Analyse the reliability, maintainability and availability aspects of a process design.ILO5. Create a piping and instrumentation diagram for a chemical process</div> <div><div>Fundamental aspects supporting the critical learning of the module will be delivered as pre-recorded asynchronous short videos via our virtual learning environment. These will be supported by synchronous sessions (three one-day workshops) with master lecture content, Q&A, and problem-solving. Attendance is compulsory for workshops and non-attendance will be penalised.Students are expected to expand the concepts presented in the session and online by additional reading (suggested in the Online Reading List) in order to consolidate their learning process and further stimulate their interest to the module.</div></div> 0 Other 100% <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;display:inline !important;float:none;font-family:"Segoe UI", Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">Continuous assessment Feedback on problems and examples, feedback on coursework and exams, and support will also be provided through the virtual learning environment. A discussion board provides an opportunity to discuss topics related to the material presented in the module.
