Refineries and petrochemical plants are vast, complex, and high-hazard facilities where engineering precision is inseparable from safety. This program equips chemical, mechanical, and process engineers with the principles of plant design — covering process units, equipment, piping, and the safety systems that keep these critical facilities running reliably.
As the energy and chemicals sectors continue to invest and modernise, plant design expertise remains a valuable and well-compensated specialism. This course combines process plant fundamentals with practical design considerations and introduces emerging trends in process digitalisation and energy transition.
