2. LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes

• Students are trained in basic chemical engineering processes such as physical, chemical and biochemical processes.
• Students learn to operate experimental laboratory or semi-pilot devices and present their results in original technical reports.
• Students exploit the knowledge gained in their respective theoretical modules


General Skills

• Search, analysis and evaluation – data and information processing, using the necessary technologies
• Autonomous work
• Teamwork


3. COURSE CONTENTS

The Chemical Engineering Laboratory I contains exercises referring to Physical, Chemical and Biochemical Processes. The exercises are performed by small groups of students (4-5).
• Physical Processes: Heat Exchanger – Fluid Mechanics Measurements
• Chemical Processes: Tracers and distribution of residence times in a CSTR reactor, Model Batch reactors – CSTR-PFR- Kinetic study
• Biochemical Processes: Anaerobic Digestion System Study.
