The purpose of the course is to give the student the engineering tools needed to combine several separation processes in an industrial process and to study the dependence between these and how the overall resource utilization is affected when key parameters for the processes are varied. The goal is for the students to have the ability to design industrial separation processes for the production of chemical, biological and technical products with regard to productivity, product quality and energy efficiency after the course.

The course deals with the design of industrial separation processes using flowsheeting programs and contains in-depth sections on phase equilibria, physical transport processes, multicomponent distillation, absorption and evaporation. In addition, optimization of industrial separation processes with regard to energy efficiency and environmental impact is included.
Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: The examination takes place through a written exam, a number of sub-projects, reported in writing and orally, and participation in mandatory course events. Final grading is based upon the written exam.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
