CHME403 – Chemical Process Control and Safety

Course Description

To ensure safe and normal chemical process operations, dynamic responses of process systems and the related risks need to be well studied and understood. The very basic objective of this course is to aware the chemical engineer for safer, cleaner, and automatic processes operations. This course would train the students about the theory and application of control systems and safety in different fields of chemical and oil and gas engineering. The course aims to provide a detailed understanding of basic control theories, safety and risk concepts, risk modeling and simulation, basic design of instrumentation and control for process safety, and more recent advancement in the field of risk and reliability engineering.
