2023 ChemE-Sports Competition | AIChE

ChemE-SportsTM - Distillation Unit Competition

This year’s program will feature a hybrid ChemE-Sports Competition on optimization and safety, open to all undergraduate AIChE student members, based on a Distillation Unit combing Virtual Reality and a Distributed Control System provided by PetroSkills - Simulation Solutions.

All competitors will work through multiple scenarios. The competitors will be given real-life scenarios that could be observed in a plant and an objective to complete within a given timeframe. Scoring will be based upon both the profitability and the safety of the unit during the simulated run for each team.
