3.00 Credits
3 credits, 3 hours (3-0-0) This course is designed to introduce the student to industry processes and the role of the technician in the chemical industry. Subjects include basic workplace and general plant skills, plant safety, piping and instrument diagrams, pressures, levels, flows, temperatures, basic hardware such as valves, pumps, heat exchangers and distillation, and basic process control theory. Upon completion, students will have a basic understanding of the role of the process technician in the chemical industry.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits, 5 hours (1-4-0) In this course, students learn how pneumatic, mechanical, and electronic equipment is used in the process industry. Subjects covered include the operation of the pilot plant, basic plant maintenance skills, basic tool safety, calibrations and equipment, preventive maintenance, unit conversions, calculation of ratios, maintenance of logs and notes concerning plan operation. Upon completion, students will be able to maintain logs on the operation of the process models, calibrate and adjust pneumatic, mechanical, and electronic equipment, work independently and in teams, and demonstrate an ability to work under pressure and time in solving problems and taking lab tests.
