Conceptual development of an industrial process from the initial feasibility study to final commissioning of the plant. Development of ability to make and assess informed technical and operational decisions based on sustainability criteria. Development of skills in literature review, literature analysis and use of technical data in alternative scenarios. Development of the mass and energy balances around plant units. Computer-aided design and costing of unit operations. Preparation of engineering documents and drawings. Safety, risk and environmental assessment of industrial plant. Site layout and economics of the developed process. Preparation of a final design document.
