Chemical Technology

The purpose of the course is to teach students measurements and calculations in Chemical Technology, simple mass and energy balances, unit systems. To become familiar with the elements of fluid flow, heat transfer elements. To acquire basic knowledge of the treatment and use of water, and to be informed about the problems and their treatment in the chemical industry. Furthermore, the purpose of the course is for students to gain knowledge about the Treatment of Wastewater (municipal and industrial). Brief description of pumps. Through laboratory exercises and applications, the student will have the opportunity to move from theory to practice.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will have acquired the knowledge and skills for Chemical Technology. Thus, they will:

• have become familiar with the basic measurements and calculations in chemical technology, simple mass and energy balances and unit systems.
• have understood at a basic level some elements of fluid flow and heat transfer.
• can solve basic exercises and applications in previous teaching subjects and where necessary will be able to make the correct conversions of the corresponding units.
• know the use of water in the chemical industry, the main problems encountered and how to deal with them with the appropriate treatment method.
• know the methods of treating wastewater (industrial, but also municipal).
• know some basic elements of hygiene and safety in the chemical industry.
