The main objective of the subject is for students to acquire the skills associated with the conceptual design of processes, for which the development of a group project of conceptual design of a productive process will be carried out. The following partial objectives are proposed:
- To integrate the knowledge acquired in the degree and in the first module of the Master’s degree to conceptually design a process.
- To develop the necessary stages to attain the design of a new production process or the improvement of an already existing process, including aspects related to safety and the environment.
- To understand the usefulness of carrying out experimental work in the laboratory, or of operating a pilot plant prior to the construction of the plant on a real scale, to obtain experimental data and thus be able to correctly select and optimize the units of a process.
- To use process engineering methodologies, heuristic design criteria, and computer programs to create flowcharts and perform simulations of new production processes or improve existing ones.
- To use energy integration methodologies and design separation systems for the synthesis of production processes.
- To evaluate aspects related to economic viability of the designed process.
The conceptual process design (DCP) consists of a creative activity for the definition of new schemes of industrial production processes. In a conceptual engineering project a set of activities must be performed to generate a process flow diagram, which serves to perform the preliminary evaluation of a possible new process or to achieve the improvement of an existing one.
The contents that are developed in the course are those contemplated succinctly in the descriptor of the subject: “Study of practical cases, by teams of students, in which will consider: (i) conception and stages in the design of processes, (ii) identification and interrelation of the main units, (iii) obtaining process data in the laboratory and interpreting them, (iv) simulation and operation strategies, (v) economic viability and (vi) safety and environmental aspects. ”
