Solve Process Engineering Problems using Symmetry from SLB

As the chemical and energy industries embrace digital transformation, process simulation tools like ProII have become indispensable for engineers, researchers, and decision-makers. This course, Solving Process Engineering Problems using Symmetry SLB, is designed to empower participants with the practical skills needed to model, simulate, and optimize chemical processes using one of the industry’s leading simulation platforms.

Through a structured and hands-on approach, learners will explore how to apply core chemical engineering principles to solve real-world challenges such as debottlenecking, sensitivity analysis, and process optimization. The course begins with an introduction to the Symmetry environment, followed by modules on feed characterization and applied thermodynamics—laying the foundation for accurate and reliable simulations.

Participants will then learn to model typical unit operations, including distillation, heat exchange, and reactors, using Symmetry’s intuitive interface. Advanced tools such as controllers, calculator blocks, and recycle loops will be introduced to simulate dynamic and complex systems. Case studies will be used to demonstrate how simulation can support decision-making, improve process efficiency, and uncover optimization opportunities.

Whether you're an engineer seeking to sharpen your simulation skills, a postgraduate student preparing for industry, or a researcher exploring process improvement strategies, this course offers a comprehensive and practical guide to digital process engineering using Symmetry.
