This $2 million donation will sponsor the exterior unit designed by industry engineers to separate glycol and water. The unit includes:
Built on an 8,000-square-foot layout in CPET’s Control Room, the glycol distillation unit will serve as an educational tool for students who will monitor and operate the system.
This $1 million donation will sponsor CPET’s Process Simulator Lab, which uses software to create representations of chemical, physical, and technical processes. These processes help faculty and students gain insight into unit operations including refining, distillation columns, reactors, and batch processing.
To continue creating engaging, industry-aligned learning experiences for our students, we’re constantly upgrading our systems, buildings, and labs. Opportunities to contribute to CPET’s infrastructure include:
