Using ChatGPT in Process Design, Chemical Engineering & Process Safety

Consultant/Trainer: Jan van Opstal

This Petrogenium 4-day course introduces engineers to the practical use of ChatGPT in process design, chemical engineering, and process safety. Participants will learn how to apply ChatGPT for calculations, simulations, and documentation in real engineering workflows. The training covers process design fundamentals, control strategies, HAZOP/LOPA facilitation, and safety studies. Hands-on workshops with case studies in hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and SAF ensure direct industry relevance. By the end, participants will be equipped to integrate ChatGPT effectively while validating results against engineering standards.
