Design of Specific Systems

This course is designed for mechanical and chemical engineering professionals, faculty members, and students seeking practical and industry-relevant expertise in utility system design for process plants. The course provides an in-depth understanding of ETP design, covering primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment stages, contaminant removal technologies, regulatory compliance, water reuse optimization, and sustainable sludge management. Learners will also gain strong competency in the design of Safety Relief and Flare Systems, including pressure relief devices, flare stacks, and gas handling systems, with a focus on industry codes, risk mitigation, environmental impact reduction, and plant safety. In addition, the course explores the design and operation of critical utility systems such as Co-Generation plants, Oily Water Sewer (OWS), Closed Blowdown (CBD), Contaminated Rainwater (CRWS), Rainwater Harvesting systems, Incinerators, and utilities used in sugar technology. Emphasis is placed on applicable standards, best practices, environmental sustainability, and efficient waste and energy management. Practical design approaches, real-world industrial examples, and system integration concepts are emphasized to bridge the gap between theory and practice. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to design, evaluate, and manage complex utility systems that ensure safe, compliant, and sustainable industrial operations while enhancing overall plant reliability and performance
