Chemical Engineering for Non-Chemical Engineers

This Chemical Engineering for Non-Chemical Engineers training course is designed for professionals and practitioners who need a solid understanding of chemical engineering concepts, as well as related disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation engineering. This interdisciplinary knowledge is crucial, as process engineering plays a central role in the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.

Process Engineers focus on the movement and transformation of solids, liquids, and gases. In the oil and gas sector, particular emphasis is placed on separation techniques like distillation, as well as on heat transfer, fluid dynamics, reaction engineering, process control, and economic considerations. This course highlights the core aspects of process engineering and helps participants build both foundational knowledge and practical insight into critical topics.

This training course will feature:

• A practical introduction to the fundamentals of process engineering
• Key areas applicable to major process industries especially oil, gas & petrochemical
• Process Engineering influence on Safety and Risk
• Optimisation of process design and control
• Costs and project costing

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand fundamental principles used in processes and facilities
• Apply practical understanding of hydraulics and fluid flow
• Apply learning from historical safety incidents
• Perform relevant calculations & analyses to assist in operation, sizing & troubleshooting
• Develop perspective & focus from a company viewpoint of interaction of different engineering disciplines

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit professionals without a chemical engineering background who work in process-related industries. It is suitable for:

• Mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation staff
• Operations and maintenance personnel
• Safety and reliability engineers
• Project and cost engineers
• Non-technical staff supporting engineering teams
• Supervisors and technical managers

Participants will gain essential knowledge to support process operations and cross-functional collaboration.
