Analysis and Evaluation of Chemical and Petrochemical industries

Chemical and petrochemical industries comprise different physical and chemical transformations and procedures. These procedures are integrated plant wide in order to achieve optimum transformation efficiency, energy utilization efficiency, sustainability, and constant modification potential.

 

 

 

Various design, control, and utilization methodologies are required in order to evaluate the functionality of each plant through time. This course is designed to provide all required information regarding analysis and evaluation to workers, engineers, designers and upper executives of such plants.
