This AIChE course introduces basic chemical and biochemical engineering concepts to technical professionals, who have no formal engineering background or who have been trained in other engineering disciplines. The course emphasizes chemical and bioengineering fundamentals, which are used frequently in process and product development, (bio)chemical entity manufacturing, commercialization and start-up of new products and facilities and evaluation of (bio)chemical manufacturing technologies. Practice and application are emphasized, rather than theory and calculation; and the course employs problem worksheets to illustrate the fundamentals and allow participants to apply what they have learned immediately to a practical problem. The approaches to answering these problems illustrate how chemical engineers approach practical problems.
You Will Learn
- How chemical and biochemical engineers view their world and approach problems
- Principles in heat and mass transfer, fluid flow, chemical and (bio)processing, (bio)separations and purification, (bio)reactor design and process economics
- How to use mass and energy balances to assess the performance of unit operations
- How process equipment works and is designed
- How to estimate whether a chemical process can economically produce a given product

Instructors
Dale Gyure, Ph.D., Chemical Engineering, has over twenty-five years of experience in the chemical and biotechnology industries with heavy emphasis on the development of chemical and biochemical process technology and the commercialization and manufacture of chemical and biochemical-entity products. He has been teaching and presenting public courses in chemical engineering technology, aseptic processing and regulatory compliance for the last ten years. Dr. Gyure is currently Division Head for Manufacturing at National Bioproducts Institute (NBI) in Durban, South Africa, where he is responsible for producing parenteral blood plasma-derived therapeutic biologics, which are used through the Southern Africa region.
