Overview
This module consolidates the knowledge in mathematics, transport phenomena, unit operations and process control to impart further skills in process modelling and simulation. Participants will learn how dynamic process models are developed and deployed.
This module covers the following topics:
- A review of the process model development process
- Different forms of process models and where and how they are used
- How the modelling equations are solved
- How models are tested and validated and analysed for robustness.
Participants will also gain further experience in the use of standard computational tools to simulate and evaluate the efficacy of developed models.
What You’ll Learn
- The use of models in Chemical Engineering and the model development process
- Different model types, their use and solution of the underlying equations
- Mechanistic models: staged processes and reaction systems; batch and continuous processes.
- Data driven models: linear and non-linear time series, parameter estimation, variable selection
- Model testing, validation and sensitivity analysis
- Current trends in Process Modelling
Who Should Attend
Chemical Engineers and Process Engineers who wish to gain further knowledge of modelling and simulating chemical and process engineering systems for improving operations, control and optimisation.
Prerequisites
- Bachelor degree in chemical engineering or related discipline
- At least one year relevant working experience
Certificate and Assessment
An SITLEARN Certificate of Participation will be issued to participants who:
- Attend 75% of the CHE6018 module, and
- Undertake the Continuous Assessment and Exam Paper
A Certificate of Attainment will be issued to participants who:
- Attend at least 75% of the CHE6018 module, and
- Participants who pass the Continuous Assessment and Exam Paper will earn 6 ECTS credits, which are stackable for Postgraduate Certificate in Chemical Engineering

Course Series
Find out more about the Modular Certification Courses - Chemical Engineering (CE).
These modules are stackable towards a Postgraduate Certificate in Chemical Engineering (PGCert CE) or can be taken individually as a single module as follows:
Each module carries 6 ECTS credits which are stackable for graduate qualification of PGCert CE. Candidates who pass any of the above 4 modules (totalling 24 credits) with a CGPA of 2.5 or more will be awarded the Postgraduate Certificate in Chemical Engineering (PGCert CE) by SIT.
