storage
A complete diagrammatic process flow sheet, which shows the flow of the process
streams at suitable points on the process streamlines and equipment sketches where
convenient.
PROCESS DESIGN DEVELOPMENT:
Inception:
Idea may generate from sales department
Preliminary Research:
General survey of success possibilities
Development Phase:
Pilot plant constructed
Design data obtained (used as basis)
Complete market analysis made
Final product sent to customers
Cost-Profit analysis are made
HIERARCHY OF A CHEMICAL PROCESS DESIGN:
The hierarchy is the systematic gradation of the
process.
Minimum wastage
Flexibility
SIMULATION:
“Attempt which predicts the behavior of process”
Simulation also predicts, how much raw material is being used, how much energy is
being consumed in the process.
Importance:
It is a powerful tool to:
Plant Design
It includes all engineering aspects involved in the development of either a new, modified or
expanded industrial plant.
Design Engineer
In the development, the chemical engineering will be making economic evaluation of new
processes, designing individual pieces of equipment for the proposed new venture, or developing
a plant layout for coordination of the overall operation. Because of these many duties, the
chemical engineer is many times referred to as a Design Engineer.
Cost Engineer
Chemical engineer specializing in the economic aspects of the design is often referred to as Cost
Engineer.
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PLANT DESIGN:
The Key Terms
Process Engineering
The term is used in connection with economic evaluation and general economic analysis of
industrial processes.
Capitalized Engineering
When management has made a firm decision to proceed with provision of significant capital funds
for a project, the engineering then involved in further work on the project is known a Capitalized
Engineering.
Expensed Engineering
Engineering which has gone on before while the consideration of project was in the development
stage is referred as Expensed Engineering.
