Process Engineering

From design to optimisation

How do you design process plants that are safe, reliable and efficient? How do you translate your design so that this design can actually be realized? And how do you solve bottlenecks in existing systems? In this training you will learn the basic principles and practical approach of process engineering.

This training is for you if you deal with security systems in your work, but are not a specialist – and do want to know how to better understand and use them.

What you learn

In one day you will get a practical introduction to functional safety. You will learn the core concepts, see how the safety lifecycle works and apply this with real-life examples.

Topics covered:

• Role of the process engineer in design and operations
• Basic principles: from mass and energy balance to process design
• Making the process design safe and reliable
• Troubleshooting: finding and solving causes
• Optimization of existing installations
• Practical examples and case studies

After this training you will be able to

• Explain the role and responsibility of a process engineer
• Converting a mass and energy balance into a process design
• Apply basic calculations and design principles
• Analyze and solve problems in existing processes
• Contribute to optimization projects
• Work better with operators, maintenance technicians and process safety engineers

For whom.

• Engineers: junior/medior process engineers, production engineers, operations engineers

• Technicians: operators who want to deepen their process knowledge

• Managers: operation or production

Build your process knowledge: from basic design to problem solving

In this course you will learn how to translate a mass and energy balance into a practical process design, including the basics of safety and reliability. You will discover what role the process engineer plays within design, operation and optimization – from making the right calculations to troubleshooting existing plants. This makes this course a solid foundation for anyone who wants to work better with technical departments and think confidently about improvements to installations.

Process engineering in practice: design, improve and optimize

This one-day course is aimed at engineers and technicians who want to deepen their process knowledge and contribute more effectively to process improvement. You will learn how to identify bottlenecks in existing systems, how to align design choices with safety requirements (e.g. in line with the IEC 61511 lifecycle), and how to contribute to a more efficient installation. With practical examples and exercises, you not only learn the theory, but also how to apply it in your daily work.
