Courses

Chemical engineering lab & project

ChE-409

Familiarization with practical aspects encountered in chemical reaction engineering. A research project is carried out along twelve weeks where a close interaction is required between the different groups.

Heterogeneous reaction engineering

ChE-403

The theoretical background and practical aspects of heterogeneous reactions including the basic knowledge of heterogeneous catalysis are introduced. The fundamentals are given to allow the design of multiphase chemical reactors.

The engineering of chemical reactions

ChE-340

This course applies concepts from chemical kinetics and mass and energy balances to address chemical reaction engineering problems, with a focus on industrial applications. Students develop the ability to analyze and design chemical reactors of industrial importance.
