This particular module deals in fuels systems used in Chemical Process Industries. In process industries, such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and power generation sectors, the fuel system plays a crucial role in providing energy for various manufacturing processes, heating, and power generation. The design of a fuel system in such industries focuses on delivering fuels safely and efficiently to maintain continuous operations while ensuring that the energy requirements of different process units are met. This system often includes the storage, transportation, regulation, and delivery of fuels to different units within the plant. In this module, solid, liquid and gaseous fuels their equipment involved in handling, their advantages and disadvantages are covered in detailed. Additionally, fuel emissions and air pollution control required and reference project documents for design of fuel systems are covered in this module.
