Starting from a real industrial case study, the students are asked to reproduce, unit by unit, the process digital twin by means of a process simulators amongst the most established ones in both research and industrial domain.
For each process unit, the students need to exploit the knowledge and the skills acquired in the previous classes and, with the help of the professor, they will analyze all the critical aspects of the system from the physicochemical and the energetic point of view.
Once the simulation is completed, the final step of course is to develop a critical and systematic view of the entire process section in order to better understand and synthesize the interactions between all the units that are studied with a standalone approach during the previous Chemical Engineering program courses.
