Overview

Petrochemical Process Economics and Cost Evaluation Course is a one-week intermediate course for process engineers, cost engineers, project analysts, commercial specialists, and operations planners who need a Process Economics Decision Pack. Participants connect process basis, capacity, yield, feedstock, utilities, capital and operating costs with cash flow, time value of money, NPV, IRR, payback, break-even, sensitivity, scenarios, and uncertainty. The course supports structured comparison without granting investment approval authority or financial advice. Agile Leaders Training Center delivers this petrochemical process economics course.

Who Should Attend

Process engineers responsible for capacity, yield, utility, and alternative assumptions
Cost engineers developing capital and operating cost evidence
Project analysts building cash-flow and economic comparison models
Commercial specialists testing feedstock, product, and margin assumptions
Operations planners evaluating utilization, losses, and cost drivers

The course assumes participants can use spreadsheets and interpret basic process and financial data; investment approval, accounting policy, financing advice, and final estimate authorization remain outside the course.

Departments and Industries

The course supports petrochemical complexes, chemical manufacturing, refining interfaces, polymers, fertilizers, industrial gases, and engineering projects.

Process engineering and technology
Cost engineering and estimating
Project development and investment analysis
Operations planning and performance
Commercial strategy and technical procurement

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Build a process-economic basis from capacity, yield, feedstock, and utility assumptions
Analyze capital, operating, fixed, variable, and unit production costs
Apply time-value-of-money logic to cash-flow models
Evaluate NPV, IRR, payback, and break-even results
Compare sensitivity, scenario, and uncertainty effects
Create a Process Economics Decision Pack with assumptions and review boundaries

Capstone Exercise: Process Economics Decision Pack

Practical Exercises

Suggested activities turn technical and cost assumptions into traceable economic comparisons.

Suggested activity: define a process and product economic basis
Suggested activity: build capital, operating, and unit-cost structures
Suggested activity: calculate cash-flow indicators and break-even conditions
Suggested activity: assemble a Process Economics Decision Pack

FAQs

Who should attend and what does the course assume?

The course suits process, cost, project, commercial, and operations personnel. It assumes spreadsheet ability and basic process and financial data interpretation.

How does this differ from product costing or project cost-control training?

It evaluates process alternatives by connecting technical assumptions to capital, operating, cash-flow, and uncertainty evidence rather than allocating accounting costs or controlling an approved project budget.

Does the course provide investment approval authority?

No. It develops structured analysis and documentation while approval and financial advice remain with authorized parties.

Which economic indicators are covered?

The course covers NPV, IRR, payback, break-even, unit production cost, sensitivity, scenarios, and uncertainty within a traceable model.

What will participants take back to work?

A Process Economics Decision Pack containing basis, cost, cash-flow, indicator, sensitivity, scenario, uncertainty, comparison, and review records.

Conclusion

Participants return able to connect petrochemical process assumptions with cost and cash-flow evidence, test uncertainty, compare alternatives, and document economic findings within defined authority boundaries.
