PROC 133 - Process Technology II (Systems)
PREREQUISITES: PROC 132 - Process Technology I (Equipment)
PROGRAM: Industrial Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019
Provides an overview of the equipment and tools used in the process industry; including piping, tubing, hoses and fittings, valves, pumps, compressors, turbines, motors and engines, filters and dryers, vessels, and process diagrams. Students will be introduced to many process-related equipment concepts, such as purpose, components, operation, and the process technician’s role for operating and troubleshooting the equipment.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Describe how process industry facilities are divided into various systems and the systems used in the process industry. [a,b,e]
- Identify the basic equipment components found in the service/utility water systems. [a,b,e]
- Define terms associated with service/utility water systems and list variables that must be controlled to ensure proper operation of the systems. [a,b,e]
- Describe the purpose of cooling water systems. [a,f]
- Identify the basic equipment and components found in instrument air systems.
- Describe the purpose of instrument air systems. [a,f]
- Explain the purpose of utility air systems and the basic equipment and components found in the systems. [a,f]
- Describe the purpose of nitrogen systems and the equipment making up the systems. [a,f]
- Explain the purpose and define terms of natural gas systems.[a,f]
- Identify, define, list variables, trace and explain relief and flare systems, electrical power generation and distribution systems. [a,f]
- Describe, identify, define and explain blending systems, refrigeration systems, steam generation and distribution systems, reaction systems, distillation systems, stripping and absorption systems, dehydration and adsorption systems, and filtration and separation systems.[a.e.f]
- Describe typical process technician responsibilities for operating, monitoring and troubleshooting systems. [a,b,c,e,f]
- Compare and contrast control systems used in utility, auxiliary, and process systems. [a,b,e]
- Discuss the process technician’s role in process optimization and control for cooling water, steam generation and distribution, reaction, distillation, extraction, stripping, absorption, dehydration, adsorption, and filtration systems. [a,b,c,d,e]
- List factors that can affect plant economics. [a,e,h,i]
