On completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the analysis of a range of separation processes in terms of equilibrium stages as applied to chemical, oil & gas & bioprocessing systems.
2. Design and analyse batch and continuous distillation systems for binary systems, to achieve a specified degree of separation.
3. Apply the Fenske-Underwood Gilliland method to the preliminary design of multi-component distillation systems.
4. Specify appropriate system configurations for drying and multiple-effect evaporation processes.
5. Design absorption/scrubbing systems, based on the height and number of transfer units, and on the generalised pressure drop correlation.
6. Develop and apply the fundamental equations (incl the Kremser equations) required for the design of cascades, with particular reference to liquid-liquid extraction systems.
7. Specify the configuration and operating conditions of a selected range of solid-liquid and solid-gas separation systems.
8. Use Aspen Plus for the preliminary analysis of a range of separation units.
