Chemical Engineering Technology Concentration  

Engineering Technology, A.A.S.  

Advanced Process Technology Technical Certificate

The Advanced Process Technology certification augments the knowledge gained by students in the Process Technology concentration of Chemical Engineering Technology.  The optimal operations of complex chemical process systems are emphasized while maintaining focus on industrial safety and system troubleshooting.  Additional topics include the balance equations of chemical processing (mass, heat, and mechanical energy) as well as basic vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations.  The fundamentals of instrumentation, control systems, and statistics are also included in this concentration.  Students gain valuable hands-on experience by operating the Wacker Institute Distillation Pilot Plant, applying the knowledge gathered throughout the program.
