Course detail

Chemical processes in practice

FCH-BCV_CPPAcad. year: 2012/2013

The course is an introduction to the technological courses with a focus on chemical engineering unit operations not only in the chemical industry, but also in other areas of industrial practice. The main content of the course is in lectures from respected experts from the companies that make an important contribution to the GDP. The part of course is also in excursion for students, which creates the possibility of direct contact with the staff of enterprises and extend the horizon of the technological applications of chemical engineering and make a major motivation for the understanding of chemical processes for students.
