Training of Industry Personnel

Specially designed course modules for training technical personnel, from various sectors of the Chemical Process Industry (eg. foods, petrochemical), can be developed on request from a given company. These courses range in duration from a day to almost a week and are known as in-house courses because they are developed for a given organization and are attended by personnel only from this firm.

Check out the links given below for generic courses that are being run for persons from Industry as well as Research & Development institutions. These courses are meant for individuals from diverse sections of the process industries.

1. Course on "Process Principles for Chemical Plant Operations"
2. Course on "Modeling, Analysis and Optimization of Industrial Processes"

These courses are normally run under the auspices of the Continuing Education Programmes cell of the Institute.

Topics on which courses are already available:

• Basic Elements of Chemical Engineering (3 to 6 days)
• Process Optimization (3 days)
• Elements of Process Control  (3 days)

Topics on which courses/training modules can be developed include:

• Basic Elements of Chemical Engineering
• Transport Processes
• Chemical Reaction Engineering
• Process Modelling & Simulation
• Numerical Methods for Engineers

Consulting Services to Process Industry

Consulting work is carried out on (long-term) retainership basis as well as short-term project mode. It may involve no deliverables other than advice to augment in-house R & D efforts or have a research and development component that is carried out in the Institute.

Consulting services to industry span:

• Expert advice on specific manufacturing processes
• Process improvement and intensification
• Troubleshooting and debottlenecking
• Process modelling and simulation
• Process design and development
• Equipment design
• Design of in-house R&D projects
