Kinetics and Reaction Mechanism Analysis for Process Engineers
Sector:
Chemicals & Process – Reaction Engineering
Technical Focus Area:
Reaction Engineering & Reactor Design
About the Course
This course provides practical training in kinetics and reaction mechanism analysis, covering how experimental data is interpreted to derive rate expressions that support process design and optimization. It is designed for process engineers who work closely with kinetic data from laboratory or plant studies.
Participants examine experimental design for kinetic studies, mechanism-based rate expression development, and parameter estimation techniques, building the practical skills needed to translate raw data into usable design equations. Case examples illustrate kinetic analysis applied to industrially relevant reactions.
