Who Should Attend
Who should attend? Engineers working in a chemical processing facility that need an overview of the basic mechanics and chemistry behind process equipment. This course is specifically geared toward the needs of personnel in the process industries. It will help you communicate more effectively with your site's process engineers and technical managers, thus enabling more efficient operation of the processes. It is also suited for designers, technicians, purchasing personnel, supervision, sales staff and other functions that may benefit from an overview of the chemical engineering techniques and equipment behind the manufacturing process.
