CH3033 Process Plant Utilities Syllabus:
CH3033 Process Plant Utilities Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
To understand the design and management of utilities system in any chemical industry
To apply energy conservation techniques right at design and strive net zero emission
UNIT I BASIC UTILITIES
Air (Industrial Service and Instrument), Cold Box air Liquification Plant, Nitrogen, Inert gas generation; Water (Potable, Service, Utility, Cooling Boiler Feed water, DM water, Desal water, RO permeate, etc.); Steam (High Pressure, Medium, Low and Very Low-pressure system), Condensate Polishing, Hot oil system, Thermic fluids for energy supply to Process equipment. Associated control equipment to monitor and prevent Water Pollution, Air Pollution control equipment, Solid waste storage area as per Waste management Rules. Also, discuss about the need to control slop generation in chemical industries. Case Studies – From Industries on operations & maintenance aspects viz. Trouble shooting, Efficiency / Effectiveness tracking, Debottlenecking, Design tips, Safety & Environmental Incidents, etc.
UNIT II POWER GENERATION & DISTRIBUTION
Power Generation & Distribution: Gas turbines (types of fuel Vs operational reliability), Open and closed cycle, Steam Turbine generators, Power Recovery Turbo generators, IC Engines Power Generators, Renewables Power – Solar, Wind, Waves, Geo thermal, Biomass, Fuel Gas / Fuel Oil network, Impacts of utility failures (partial and or full).Case Studies – From Industries on operations & maintenance aspects viz. Trouble shooting, Efficiency / Effectiveness tracking, Debottlenecking, Design tips, Safety & Environmental Incidents, etc.
UNIT III WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Wastewater Treatment: Bioremediation, WWTP (Wastewater Treatment Plants along with separation system and biochemical processes to reduce BOD / COD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand and Chemical Oxygen Demand), Recalcitrant material adding to COD, Considerations in deployment of RO Membrane and reuse of treated water. Case Studies – From Industries on operations & maintenance aspects viz. Trouble shooting, Efficiency / Effectiveness tracking, Debottlenecking, Design tips, Safety & Environmental Incidents, etc.
UNIT IV GAS PROCESSING
LNG/ CNG, Refinery Gas Treating, Sour Gas Processing, Amine Absorption and Regeneration Processes, Sulphur Recovery & Removal, Gas dehydration & Dew pointing. Case Studies – From Industries on operations & maintenance aspects viz. Trouble shooting, Efficiency / Effectiveness tracking, Debottlenecking, Design tips, Safety & Environmental Incidents, etc.
UNIT V COOLING WATER SYSTEM
Cooling water System: Cooling towers (CT), Wet and Dry Bulb and its relation to CT performance, Induced Vs Natural Draft CT, COC (Cycle of Concentration), Minimize / eliminate drift loss, CW network, assessment of cooling effectiveness in multiple parallel exchangers with availability of combined flow. Case Studies – From Industries on operations & maintenance aspects viz. Trouble shooting, Efficiency / Effectiveness tracking, Debottlenecking, Design tips, Safety & Environmental Incidents, etc.
