Industrial/ Chemical Process Simulation

Process simulation is a versatile tool used by process engineers to investigate and to carry out preliminary design of chemical plants. This course will give you the opportunity to use process simulation software with confidence and efficacy to save up money and time associated with the engineering activities. This seminar includes hands on training with the use of COCO [or ASPEN for large groups] process simulation tool.
