Projeto de Processo Químico/Biológico

Stochiometrics and enthalpy balances

Separation processes

Reactors

The course includes three components:

1. theoretical introduction where the theoretical bases of conceptualization are presented;

2. application of concepts in a classroom environment and using computational tools;

3. discussion and analysis of the status of the works along the course.

• Develop the ability to analyze the market for a product, synthesize a chemical / biological based production process, scale it and economically analyze its viability.
• Work in a group.
• Categorize information and report in oral and written form.

1. Communication and systematization of information in project units. Development of Process Diagrams.
2. Synthesis of processes. Basic heuristics.
3. Characterization of mass flows in a production unit. Mass balances.
4. Characterization of thermal flows in a production unit. Thermal balances.
5. Equipment sizing. Use of simulators.
6. Selection of materials.
7. Economic characterization. Estimate of installation costs.
8. Economic characterization. Estimated operating costs.
9. Economic characterization. Cash-flow movements and profitability indicators.
