EG-210 Thermodynamics of Process Design
This module continues to develop further the fundamentals of thermodynamics studied previously. It will develop the general applications needed in process engineering with particular reference to reactor design, separation processes, flow processes, heat engines and energy balance techniques.
-
EG-220 Process and Pilot Plant Operations A
As a chemical engineer an understanding of how to design and operate processes is vitally important. In one part of this module, students will design a rig based on a given brief. Once designed, the rig will be built and run by the students, and experimental results from tests on the rig will be obtained. In the another section of the module students will be required to research into and report on a given industrial process. In the final section of the module students will go on a site visit to a process plant in the South Wales area. This will be followed by an oral presentation on that visit. The module will involve a range of activities to enhance team work, report writing, time management and presentation skills as well as to further the understanding of subjects covered in taught modules.
-
EG-230 Process and Pilot Plant Operations B
This module supports and amplifies lectures by providing practical experience of process equipment, its operation and performance. The Unit Operations Laboratory (UOL) experiments are carried out in pairs. Overall, each pair of students will conduct 4 different experiments on 4 different pieces of pilot plant apparatus and will be required to produce 4 experimental reports. In each session, each pair of students will conduct various experiments on a piece of pilot plant equipment to obtain experimental data which they will need to analyse and write-up within a lab report. Online videos of will be provided giving guidance on writing reports, handling error and risk assessment.
-
EGC401 Industrial Engineering and Research Practice
This module aims to give students practical experience in either the industrial setting or the research environment.. Either two day placements in industry or two day research placements within the School are conducted. The industrial placements are determined by interview with the companies involved or departmental staff. A range of research projects will be offered by the staff.

EGCM89 Chemical and Environmental Engineering MEng Design Project
This module aims to advance and broaden the design practices learnt at Level 3. This project will necessitate the students to adapt the design methodologies learnt previously to an unfamiliar molecule in order to generate a novel manufacturing process. The project itself requires the students to develop an innovative design for a plant to make a molecule for which no large scale production facility exists. The molecules to be produced need to be selected on the following characteristics: they should not be manufactured on a large capacity production facility (there may however be small scale production) and an outline of a manufacturing process including basic chemistry exists somewhere. The project will require the students to make choices and judgments on: the production capacity, time of operation, raw materials to use, production process, and benefit of the molecule to the company (ie economic, extending the knowledge base etc). Design is a team exercise throughout and working well as a team is critical to successfully completing this project.
