PRESENTED BY  KOBUS HARMSEB.Eng(Chem Eng), B.Eng Hons Senior Technical Manager

One word describes Kobus. Passionate! He loves his work in chemicalengineering. He has worked in a number of roles at Sasol in the chemicalengineering area ranging from the ammonia business, to ultra high purityhydrogen and solvents. Latterly he's been responsible for optimisationsupport in the Monomers and Polymers business. He spent a year doing

detail engineering in Texas which he found a tremendously positive influenceon his career.

Kobus has received outstanding reviews with his presentations of this course overseas; with manyparticipants commenting on his strong practical bias thanks to his experiences in chemical engineering.

PRESENTATION FORMATThe certificate program features real-worldapplications and uses a multi-pronged approach

involving self-study, interactive online webinarsand homework assignments with a mentor on call.The course consists of 12 modules, over a periodof 3 months.

Some modules may involve a practical componentor group activity. For each module there will be aninitial reading assignment along with courseworkor problems to be handed in and practicalexercises in some cases. Participants will haveongoing support from their instructor and coursecoordinator.

Course reading material will be delivered inelectronic (PDF) format in advance of online

presentations. Presentations and groupdiscussions will be conducted using a liveinteractive software system. Assignments will besubmitted electronically and wherever possible,practical exercises will be conducted usingsimulation software and remote labs.

LIVE WEBINARSDuring the program you will par ticipate in 6 liveinteractive sessions with the instructor and otherparticipants from around the world. Each webinar

will last approximately 60 to 90 minutes, and wetake student availability into considerationwherever possible before scheduling webinartimes. Contact us for details of webinar sessionscheduling. All you need to participate is anadequate Internet connection, speakers and amicrophone. The software package and setupdetails will be sent to you prior to the course.

BENEFITS OF LIVEE-LEARNING• Attend lessons in an online classroom with

your instructor and fellow students

• Upgrade your skills and refresh yourknowledge without having to take valuabletime away from work

• Receive information and materials in small,easy to digest sections

• Learn while you travel - all you need is anInternet connection

• Have constant support from your courseinstructor and coordinator for the duration ofthe course

• Interact and network with participants fromaround the globe and gain valuable insightinto international practice

• Learn from international industry experts,based around the globe

• Live interactive webinars, not just a ‘book onthe web’

• Receive a certificate of completion forCPD purposes

OVERVIEW:Process plants such as refineries and petrochemical plants are complex facilities consisting of equipment,piping systems, instruments, electrical systems, electronics, computers and control systems. The design,engineering and construction of process plants involves multidisciplinary team effort. Process design, plantlayout and design of piping systems constitute a major part of the design and engineering effort. Theobjective is to design safe and dependable processing facilities in a cost effective manner. There are fewformal training programs with a comprehensive coverage of all three major topics of process design, plantlayout and design of piping systems. Therefore, most of the required skills are acquired while on the job,reducing productivity and efficiency.

This course provides you with the basic knowledge and skills in the disciplines of chemical engineering andplant design to facilitate faster learning curves while on the job. It covers the fundamental principles andconcepts used in process design and plant design. Upon completion of this course, you will have a clearunderstanding of the design and engineering principles used in the design of process plants.

12 MODULES OVER 3 MONTHS
