Overview

This 3-hour audio online course covers chemical process engineering. It provides a wealth of practical advise and anecdotes from the course author, who has over 40 years of experience designing, installing and troubleshooting process systems in multiple industries.

Many aspects of process engineering are covered, ranging from considerations during system analysis to relying on plant operators when you're troubleshooting a system or you're considering process improvements. However, much of the discussion is not specific to process engineering, but rather focuses on work sound engineering guidance that is applicable to all disciplines. Mechanical engineers, piping engineers, rotating equipment engineers, project engineers, and even industrial engineers will benefit from this course.

This course is provided in two forms for your convenience. The course may be studied as a “podcast” or audio presentation. The included audio files can be downloaded to your iPod or other personal mp3 player or they can be streamed using your computer’s default audio player (such as Windows Media Player). A written transcription is also provided should you wish to read the material.

To receive PDH credit, the user must pass a multiple-choice quiz of 15 questions after listening to the audio files or reading the transcription of the course.
