Join Dr. Brian Paul and Dr. Goran Jovanovic in this 4-day course for professional engineers interested in advancing MCPI in the chemical industry, specifically through the use of "number-up" plant designs.
After taking this course you will be able to:
- Use characteristic time-scale analysis to identify and design PI components for an MCPI application.
- Cost/performance trade-offs in developing innovative PI component designs.
- Engage additive manufacturing/3D printing equipment used to build PI components.
- Consider the deployment of MCPI plants through Engineering, Procurement and Construction firms.
- Consider the business rationale for designing and scaling up an MCPI plant.
- Use characteristic time-scale analysis to identify and design PI components for an MCPI application.
