Course Overview
The Open Source course Unit Operations in Chemical Plants provides a comprehensive foundation in the core processes and equipment used in chemical engineering, focusing on fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, and mechanical operations such as distillation, absorption, solvent extraction, leaching, filtration, and drying. Designed for aspiring chemical plant operators, process technicians, and operations engineers, this program equips learners with the technical knowledge and practical skills needed to operate and optimize industrial-scale unit operations. With over 50,000 chemical manufacturing facilities in the U.S. alone and a growing demand due to workforce retirements, expertise in unit operations is critical for maintaining efficient and safe production processes across industries.
Students engage with key technologies and tools including shell-and-tube heat exchangers, distillation columns (both trayed and packed), evaporators, centrifugal pumps, and process control instrumentation for measuring flow, temperature, pressure, and pH. The hands-on lab component, conducted in pilot-scale training environments, allows students to configure and operate real-world systems such as continuous rectification units, batch distillation setups, and membrane separation processes. Using industry-standard schematics and process drawings, learners complete a capstone simulation project modeling a full chemical process train, integrating fluid dynamics, heat exchange, and separation stages to meet specific output specifications under varying operating conditions.
This course prepares candidates for roles leading to certifications such as the PMA30120 Certificate III in Process Plant Operations, which is nationally recognized in Australia and aligned with global industry standards. Graduates can expect entry-level salaries ranging from $50,000 to $70,000 annually in the U.S., with advancement opportunities into supervisory and managerial roles. Koenig Solutions enhances learning through Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official Open Source courseware, ensuring consistent, high-quality instruction. Upon completion, learners are positioned to contribute immediately in chemical, refining, and pharmaceutical plants, driving operational efficiency and safety in real-world industrial environments.
