1.   | Critically apply advanced methods (Fenske equation, Underwood method, Gilliland correlation, Kremser equation, etc.) to estimate the parameters (minimum reflux ration, number of equilibrium stages, etc.) of complex multicomponent absorption, stripping, distillation and extraction processes. |
2.   | Evaluate and apply techniques of separation by extractive, reactive, and both homogeneous and heterogeneous azeotropic distillation. |
3.   | Design complex multicomponent/multistage separation systems involving azeotropic and supercritical distillation, absorption, extraction, crystallization, leaching, washing and drying. |
4.   | Derive the properties of membrane separation and adsorption units. |
5.   | Master chemical process software to design and simulate complex multicomponent/multistage separation systems. |
6.   | Master effective oral, written, numeric and communication methods to convey ideas and principles. |
