CHNG3809: Laboratory and Industrial Practice
2025 unit information
This unit of study provides an opportunity for students to gain experience in the operation of process plants and pilot plants. In particular students will have the opportunity to apply chemical and biomolecular engineering fundamentals to real world problems including distillation, heat transfer, fermentation, filtration, crystallisation and reverse osmosis. The unit will give students experience with examples drawn from the petrochemical, minerals, biotech, pharmaceutical and water industries. In addition the unit will also give students an additional opportunity to apply the knowledge of experimental design, data analysis and statistics.
