Chemical Engineering for Other Engineers

Course Objectives:

To develop an understanding of fundamentals of the field of Chemical Engineering for all those working in the chemical, petrochemical, oil and process industries with a need to understand and discuss issues with the chemical engineering specialists.

 Who can attend?

Petroleum engineers, Mechanical engineers, Production engineers, Safety Engineers, trainee or under-development (UD) process engineers, R&D specialists, plant chemists, plant operators, geo-scientists and economists. Case studies and examples will cover a range of levels, making the course also suitable non-technical staff.
