Unit operations without phase change

At the end of this course, apprentices will have acquired the basic notions of process engineering, enabling them to understand and analyze the operation of existing industrial plants carrying out certain unit operations (see course outline for details of OPUs covered). They will then be able to carry out basic diagnostics in the event of malfunctions or deviations from nominal operation, and will also be able to communicate with service providers or design offices likely to intervene on site for maintenance, process modification or even the addition of a new plant.
The main objectives of this course are:
- To be able to draw up material and energy balances on a macroscopic level for a specific OPU or a process as a whole
- To master the main operating and sizing principles of a few unit operations commonly used in the food processing industry (note: only OPUs without phase change are covered in this course).
