About the Course

This course provides practical training in developing process flow diagrams and performing mass and energy balance calculations, covering how these foundational documents and calculations underpin process design and plant performance analysis. It is designed for engineers who develop or interpret process flow diagrams.

Participants examine process flow diagram conventions, balance calculation methods, and reconciliation techniques for real plant data, building the practical skills needed to produce accurate flow diagrams and defensible balance calculations. Case examples illustrate common balance closure challenges.

Learning Milestones

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

- Develop a process flow diagram following standard conventions.
- Perform mass balance calculations for process units.
- Perform energy balance calculations for process units.
- Reconcile balances against actual plant data.
- Identify sources of balance closure error.
- Present flow diagram and balance results clearly to stakeholders.

Professional Audience

This course is ideal for engineers developing or interpreting process flow diagrams, including:

- Process engineers
- Chemical engineering graduates
- Plant technical support engineers
- Process design engineers
- Production engineers analyzing plant performance
