Dr Richard Butterfield is a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering.

EG-200 Separation Processes

This module aims to give the student the standard methods to solve problems using specific key design parameters for a range of separation processes (Distillation, gas-liquid absorption, liquid-liquid extraction and evaporation). The module explains the underlying theoretical background to solving separation problems and then demonstrates how problems are solved for a range of simple two component systems.
EG-208 Process Design and Simulation

This module provides consolidation of earlier studies of material & energy balances, thermodynamics and separation processes. Commonly available process simulation software packages will be utilized to verify hand calculations performed to design chemical engineering unit operations. Utilising the process flowsheeting functions of these simulation packages, this module will highlight the ability to simulate and optimize the design of a chemical engineering unit operation or process.
