The constructon and Design of process plants with its huge variety of components, pipes and instruments is highly complex. The planning and execution of such Plants, whose investment costs sometimes exceed the billion Euro limit, is performed by interdisciplinary teams. Thus the key aim of this module is to learn the the main activities of process plant projects. This comprises intelligent 3D-CAD-Tools for flow diagrammes and detail layout. The module consists of a lecture and a practical part for the CAD-Tools.

• Homework / Assignment or
• oral exam

The corsework includes a report and oral explanation of the plant design.

The examiners choose the type of examination from the options provided and inform the students at the beginning of the semester.

Term paper: approx. 10 pages, oral presentation approx. 30 minutes per group
Oral examination: see the applicable General Section of the Examination Regulations

Students are familiar with the fundamentals of energy, environmental and process engineering as well as with the use of MSR technologies.

Successfull participants of this module have learned the main activities of planning and executing a process plant project. 

The students can also handle a professional CAD-Tool for piping and instrumentation diagrammes as well as for detail layout.

Students are familiar with plant construction processes and can apply them.

Studendt learn the required activities in order to design and execute plants in the field of energy, environmental protection and process engineering. Special emphasis is placed on team work with interdisciplinary composition.

Communication within an interdisciplinary team

Get to know the individual "languages" of business administrators, civil engineers, electrical engineers, control engineers etc.

Students who participate in this module will have a significant scientific self-understanding and a highly sophisticated professional attitude.
