This IChemE approved course deals with the commissioning and start-up of process plants both large and small. It covers many different aspects including the planning and managerial aspects of major plants, the start-up of small plants with an emphasis on the technical problems and also dealing with the documentation associated with commissioning. How will I benefit? You’ll benefit from the wide experiences of the course presenters, all of whom have been associated with start-ups themselves. There will be substantial emphasis on tutorial exercises in both commissioning and pre-commissioning.You’ll receive comprehensive course notes, which has been highly acclaimed by those attending previous courses.

 DescriptionWhat will I learn? Key pieces of legislation along with methods for identification and quantification of hazard and risk as well the strategic approaches to fire safety design will be reviewed. The engineering design of specific fire safety systems such as: means of escape, detection and warning, emergency lighting, smoke control and fire extinguishing will be presented and the main sources of more detailed information and guidance will be identified and reviewed. By necessity the course concentrates mainly on buildings; however, the principles presented are applicable to other systems.You’ll also work through example calculations and design problems. How will I benefit? The course will give you a structured, organised and comprehensive framework for fire safety and building fire protection design. On completion of the course you should be in a position to make a significant contribution in the design of appropriate fire safety systems for a fairly complex building or structure. A full copy of the Building Regulations, Approved Document B will also be provided if you attend the first day of the course. https://eps.leeds.ac.uk/short-course/1/faculty-of-engineering-and-physical-sciences/988/fire-safety-design Attendee Category | Cost | | | |

 DescriptionWhat will I learn?
This course covers the basic science and engineering of microencapsulation across a wide range of applications including the important stages of emulsification control, stability and release property control. While the majority of the course involves emulsions, multiple emulsions and particle coating, we also include a comprehensive description of the range of valuable characterisation tools and their applicability. The emphasis is on understanding the flow behaviour of the interaction of the various components in such complex systems. This should provide the basis for a rational approach to formulating and producing micro encapsulates to meet a range of needs. The course offers a programme of academic and industry cooperation taking delegates from the basic science through to manufactured products. Recent updates to the course mean that we are now also focusing on alternatives to historical microencapsulation systems in response to the recent microplastics regulations, which is driving the industry towards developing biodegradable alternatives. This year’s course will feature sessions to better understand the regulation environment, to specifically describe alternative microcapsule shell materials that are more environmentally friendly and some discussion around biodegradability testing. On completion of this course you’ll have an understanding of: -
developing a rational approach to formulate or modify emulsions for optimal processing behaviour, and using available laws and scaling relations to predict behaviour -
the various methods of turning emulsions into encapsulates, including the process conditions that impact their final properties and behaviour -
selecting characterisation devices and defining measurement procedures for a specific application -
evaluating and interpreting experimental data. https://eps.leeds.ac.uk/short-course/1/faculty-of-engineering-and-physical-sciences/995/microencapsulation Attendee Category | Cost | | | |

DescriptionWhat will I learn? This course will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the status and developments in energy delivery from biomass combustion. The focus will mainly be on biomass for electricity and heat. This course looks at fuel supply options and the emissions and plant performance implications. The use of biomass for energy production has several associated technical, environmental and socioeconomic challenges. Some of these, particularly the technical challenges, will be addressed in this course. How will I benefit? The course will give you a sound understanding of the fundamentals and practicalities of: -
the basics of solid biomass combustion -
dedicated biomass installations -
solid biomass for electricity generation -
biogas and landfill gas for process heat and power generation -
sustainability of biomass supply chains https://eps.leeds.ac.uk/short-course/1/faculty-of-engineering-and-physical-sciences/984/energy-from-biomass-combustion |
