Production facility design must result in facilities that are cost effective, safe, easy to operate, and can be used throughout the life of the field. Operators are also keenly interested in optimizing newly designed facilities given the constraints of equipment availability, increased equipment costs and the constantly changing price environment. Facility Engineers will learn about process selection, equipment selection & sizing, producing a design package for bid, applicable codes and standards; and key detailed design parameters. Additionally, the students will learn about how to incorporate personnel and process safety safeguards into the design.
