As chemical process technology becomes more complex, chemical engineers will need a more detailed and fundamental understanding of safety. The course focuses on understanding the important technical fundamentals of chemical process safety. The emphasis on the fundamentals will help the student to understand the concepts and apply them accordingly. This application requires a significant quantity of fundamental knowledge and technology.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
All Chemical Engineering students
PREREQUISITES
Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, Chemical Technology
INDUSTRY SUPPORT
Useful for all process industries, refineries, fertilizer plants, petrochemical plants specially for managers and decision makers
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Prof. Shishir Sinha is presently working as Professor and Head in the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Roorkee. He has been teaching the courses related to Process Utilities and Safety, Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics and safe Operation to Petroleum industries to undergraduate and postgraduate students for more than 12 years.
