Untitled - Singapore Polytechnic

on Cosmetic Products (SCCP); ResearchInstitute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM);International Fragrance Association (IFRA)are introduced. This module also providesan outline of local and international cosmeticregulations such as, banned substances incosmetics formulations, labelling and licensingrequirements for cosmetic products.CP4520Advanced Physical ChemistryRefer to CP4102CP4521Laboratory ManagementRefer to CP4086CP4522Formulation Science of CosmeticsThe chemistry behind cosmetic productsformulation will be studied. The study ofdifferent emulsion types in creams and lotionsas well as in surfactant systems will becovered. The important role of surfactants,oils in the formulation and manufacture ofcosmetics and toiletries will be discussed. Theselection of different types of raw materialsto form a stable cosmetic product will bedemonstrated as well as the application ofHLB system. Students will have hands-onexperience in the selection of surfactants,emollients, emulsifiers, fragrances andpreservatives for different cosmetics.CP4523Good Manufacturing PracticeProvides students with the fundamentalprinciples and essential concepts of GMP.It describes the EU and ASEAN guidelinesand their requirements for the manufacture ofcosmetics and fragrances. This module willprepare students with the key knowledge andawareness when they join such industries.CP5006Environmental EngineeringProvides students with fundamentalunderstanding of environmental pollution andvarious treatment technologies. Students willbe introduced to environmental legislationsrelating to environmental protection inSingapore and environmental managementsystem. Topics on water and wastewatertreatment, air pollution and emission control,cleaner production, systems thinkingand sustainable development as well asenvironmental impact assessment will becovered in this module. Students are alsorequired to complete a module project.CP5008Heat Transfer & EquipmentProvides students with the fundamentals ofheat transfer by conduction, convection andradiation, and their application to industrialheat transfer equipment. Students willunderstand the phenomena of evaporation,condensation and boiling. This moduleprovides students with hands-on experienceon the operation of pilot-scale heatexchangers. In addition, it enables studentsto design heat exchanger through the useof process simulation tool. Various aspectsof interpersonal skills such as teamwork andcommunications are systematically infused incontextualised practical activities.CP5009Chemical Reaction EngineeringProvides students with fundamentals ofchemical kinetics and reactor design. Inchemical kinetics, factors affecting the rate ofreaction and the determination of rate equationare discussed. In reactor design, various typesof industrial reactors are introduced and thedevelopment of design equations and sizingof reactors are covered. This is complementedby extensive practical work.CP5018Corrosion & Materials SelectionProvides students with understanding onchemical principles, causes, and preventivemethods of corrosion for metals. Materialsselection for process equipment used indifferent process industries is also discussed.CP5021Polymer Materials EngineeringGives students a good understanding ofthe structure, properties and applicationsof common polymer materials used in theprocess industries. Topics covered includepolymer characterisation and testing, variousshaping processes and principles of goodplastic product design.CP5023ThermodynamicsProvides students with an understandingof the thermodynamic principles of physicalprocesses and applications in chemicaland pharmaceutical industries. It coversthe basic concepts of thermodynamics andthe application of First and Second Law ofthermodynamics. Cyclic processes such asCarnot cycle and Rankine cycle are discussed.The basic concept of Phase Equilibriumand Chemical Reaction Equilibrium are alsoincluded to enhance students’ understandingof the relationship among variables describingsystems at equilibrium.CP5027Pharmaceutical PackagingProvides students with the principles andconcepts of pharmaceutical packagingtechnology. It includes packaging of drugs,packaging types and materials, spoilagemechanism, sterilization of packages,packaging lines operations, printing,labelling, bar-coding, child resistance andtamper evidence packaging, packagetesting and cGMP. The laboratory sessionswill enable students to integrate theorieswith practical skills in packaging machineryoperations, selection of packaging materialsand package testing.CP5031Membrane Science and TechnologyProvides students with an understanding ofthe basic concepts of synthetic membranesand their characterization, as well as theirapplications and operational considerationsin the chemical process industries invarious areas such as gas separation,water treatment, pollution control as well asapplications in the life sciences.CP5033Plant Safety & Loss PreventionProvides students with an understanding ofthe basic principles and application of safetymanagement practices, hazards associatedwith the use of chemicals, the techniquesused in the chemical process industries forhazard identification and evaluation; andconcepts of tolerable risk and the principles ofrisk reduction.CP5037Pharmaceutical ManufacturingProvides students with basic knowledge ofpharmaceutical manufacturing processes anddrug development processes. It describesthe major unit operations adopted in primarymanufacturing of active pharmaceuticalingredients and secondary manufacturing,including equipment cleaning, solidcontainment and utility systems.CP5038Industrial Waste ManagementProvides students with working knowledge ofproper treatment and management of varioustypes of industrial wastes (including biowaste)generated from various industries such as thepetroleum, petrochemical, pharmaceutical,semiconductor and food manufacturingsectors, etc. Case studies are used toshowcase how environmental management iscarried out in Singapore and other countries.Synopses 275
