Improve Chemical Process to Increase Performance
How can a chemical manufacturing facility increase production, reduce operating costs, or make better use of existing equipment? The answer often lies in improving how chemical processes are designed, analyzed, and controlled.
Chemical process optimization involves evaluating and improving production systems to increase efficiency, flexibility, and economic performance. Engineers use mathematical modeling, process simulation, economic analysis, and automation to identify opportunities for improvement.
Michigan Tech's Profit-Increasing Strategies in Chemical Processing Graduate Certificate focuses on designing new chemical processes and improving existing operations. You'll develop advanced knowledge of process design, simulation, economics, and control strategies used in chemical manufacturing and petrochemical industries.
Who is This Certificate For?
This certificate is designed for chemical engineers working in manufacturing and petrochemical industries who want to deepen their knowledge of process design, simulation, and automation. It's also relevant to early-career process engineers seeking to expand their technical expertise and graduate students interested in specialized study of chemical process analysis and control.
What You Need to Know
You'll use computational tools to analyze chemical processes, evaluate their economic performance, and identify opportunities for improvement. Coursework covers process and unit-operation design, mathematical modeling, automation, and advanced control strategies. You'll also examine process and project design considerations, including safety, environmental impacts, and operational constraints, while learning to evaluate and optimize chemical manufacturing systems.
