Why Choose Chemical Engineering for Non-Chemical Engineers Training Course?

The Chemical Engineering for Non-Chemical Engineers Training Course is designed to bridge the knowledge gap between chemical engineering principles and the diverse disciplines that support process industry operations. As organisations in oil, gas, petrochemical, power generation, and industrial manufacturing become increasingly integrated, professionals without a chemical engineering background often collaborate with chemical engineers on critical decisions involving processes, equipment, safety, and performance. This course provides a structured, practical foundation to help non-specialists understand the core concepts that underpin modern process facilities.

Participants will develop a clear grasp of essential topics such as fluid flow, heat transfer, separation processes, and reaction engineering, enabling them to interact more effectively with technical teams. The course also reinforces the vital role of chemical engineering in ensuring safe operations, cost efficiency, environmental compliance, and operational reliability. Emphasis is placed on real-world applications, cross-disciplinary communication, and the ability to analyse process behaviour using fundamental engineering principles.

From understanding how pumps, compressors, and heat exchangers operate, to gaining insights from historical safety incidents, this course equips professionals with a practical perspective that supports daily operational decisions. Through case studies, structured learning, and industry examples, participants become better prepared to contribute to project development, troubleshooting activities, safety reviews, and facility improvements.

By the end of the five days, participants will hold a stronger technical foundation, enhanced confidence when interacting with chemical engineering teams, and improved capability to support process-related decisions across their organisation.

What are the Goals?

This training course aims to provide non-chemical engineers with a practical understanding of core chemical engineering concepts and their application in real-world operations.

By the end of this Chemical Engineering Training for Non-Chemical Engineers, participants will be able to:

Understand essential principles used in process facilities and operations

  • Apply practical knowledge of fluid flow, hydraulics, and pressure behaviour
  • Interpret lessons learned from historical safety cases to strengthen operational awareness
  • Perform basic engineering calculations to support troubleshooting and equipment analysis
  • Recognise interactions between engineering disciplines within process facilities
  • Apply improved judgement in decision-making, communication, and technical discussions
  • Understand how equipment selection influences performance and safety
  • Support optimisation efforts across process operations and project activities

Who is this Training Course for?

This course is designed for professionals involved in process-related environments who require a solid understanding of chemical engineering fundamentals without being chemical engineers themselves.

This Chemical Engineering Course for Non-Chemical Engineers is ideal for:

  • Mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation engineers
  • Operations and maintenance personnel
  • Safety, risk, and reliability engineers
  • Project engineers, planners, and cost engineers
  • Technical supervisors and managers
  • Professionals supporting engineering, facility operations, or project execution

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course uses a variety of proven adult learning techniques to maximise comprehension, retention, and practical application. Instruction combines lecture-led presentations, facilitated discussions, and guided problem-solving sessions to reinforce fundamental concepts. Case studies highlight real industry situations, enabling participants to analyse failures, understand best practices, and identify improvement opportunities. Videos, diagrams, and process examples help simplify complex engineering topics, while group exercises encourage collaboration and cross-disciplinary learning. The delivery approach ensures an engaging experience suited for both technical and non-technical participants.
