COURSE SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

The course will focus on the following aspects:

  • What kind of problem or purpose is suitable for modeling: process analysis, operational troubleshooting and optimization, process design.
  • How to apply knowledge and steps/procedure to develop/build (formulate), solve, and validate mathematical models.
  • How to use/deploy the models for business purpose/industrial setting (online/offline environment).
  • How to perform sustainment of the models for continuous update, reliability of use, and relevance to business.

  • COURSE CONTENT


Part 1: Concept Select

  • Why consider a formal modeling approach for engineering concept selection as part of the field development plan? What are the advantages?
  • How to develop an optimization model to screen available concept alternatives for selection as based on suitably-represented objective function and constraints.
Part 2: Steady-State Process Simulation
  • Detailed design of concept selected (i.e., result of the determined best design alternative).

Part 3: Dynamic Process Simulation

  • Evaluation of operability of concept selected


OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the kind of problem or purpose suitable for modeling for business or industrial setting.
  • Determine the model type suitable for a particular purpose.
  • Apply the skill or knowledge needed for modeling.

  • Use an appropriate software for modeling.


WHO SHOULD JOIN US TO :

  • Chemical and process engineers.
  • Postgraduate/advanced undergraduate students.
  • Business professionals in engineering organizations.





OUR TRAINERS



1. Ir. Dr. Khor Cheng Seong 

Ir. Dr. Khor Cheng Seong (UTP) obtained his PhD from Imperial College London, UK and masters from University of Waterloo, Canada, both in chemical engineering with research topics on optimization applications to the process industries. He has been involved in several consultancy projects and studies applying modeling and optimization to industrial problems. Findings and results from his work can be found in research journals, book volumes, and conference proceedings. He is a senior lecturer at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. He has industrial experience as a modeling and optimization engineer for petroleum refineries and petrochemical plants. He is a chartered engineer and member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE, UK).


2. Ir. Rafil Elyas (East 101)

Ir. Rafil Elyas is the founding principal engineer of East One-Zero-One Sdn Bhd (East101), a specialty consulting company focused on providing advanced process engineering and flow assurance consultancy services to the oil and gas industry. Prior to founding East101, he worked at PETRONAS Research and Scientific Services (now PETRONAS Research Sdn Bhd/PRSB) and Simulation Sciences (now owned by Schneider Electric) as a chemical engineer, Hyprotech/AspenTech as a senior consultant and regional managing director. He is a process engineering and flow assurance specialist with over 25 years work experience in flow assurance, process engineering, and operations optimization of offshore and onshore oil and gas production, gas plant (NGL and LNG), oil refinery and petrochemical facilities. He specializes in dynamic/transient analyses for design and operations namely, transient pipeline analysis, liquid and slug management/mitigation, wax management/mitigation, compressor surge protection, plant operability and controls optimization. In addition to consultancy work, he also teaches courses in steady state and dynamic process simulation, and frequently serves as an adjunct lecturer/industry advisor at University of Nottingham Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTM). He is a chartered chemical engineer and fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE, UK).
