CHEMICAL ENGINEERING 2012


Explanation of Process Engineering Design
Process engineering design is the application of chemical, mechanical, petroleum,
gas and other engineering talents to the process-related development, planning, designs,
and decisions required for economical and effective completion of a process project.
Although process design engineers are organizationally located in research, technical service,
economic evaluation, as well as other specific departments, the usual arrangement is to have
them available to the engineering groups concerned with developing the engineering details as
well as to evaluate bids for the various equipment items. Process design is usually a much
more specific group responsibility in engineering contractor organizations than in a chemical
or petrochemical production company, and the degree of distinction varies with the size of
the organization.
The average process engineer has the following responsibilities:
1. Prepares studies of process cycles and systems for various product production or
improvements or changes in existing production units; prepares material and heat
balances;
2. Prepares economic studies associated with process performance;
3. Designs and or specifies equipment items required to define the process flowsheet
or flow system; specifies corrosion-resistant materials of construction;
4. evaluates competitive bids for equipment;
5. evaluates operating data for existing or test equipment
6. guides flowsheet draftsmen in detailed flowsheet preparation.
The process engineer also develops tests and interprets data and information from the
research pilot plant. He/she aids in scaling up the research type flow cycle to one of
commercial feasibility. The process engineer must understand the interrelationship between the
various research, engineering, purchasing, expediting, construction, and operational functions
of a project. He/she must appreciate that each function may and often does affect or influence
the process design decisions. For example, it is futile to waste time designing or calculating
in detail when the basic components of the design cannot be economically fabricated, or if
capable of being fabricated, cannot possibly be delivered by the construction schedule for
the project. Some specific phases of a project that require process understanding include plant
layout, materials of construction for corrosion as well as strength, start-up operations,
troubleshooting, maintenance, performance testing, and so forth.
1.2 PROCESS DESIGN SCOPE
The project engineer appoints a chief process engineer who puts together a
process design team to be responsible for all the chemical engineering aspects of the plant.
The term process design is used here to include what is sometimes referred to as process
engineering. Yet in some process engineering operations, all process design functions may
not be carried out in detail. As discussed, process design is intended to include the
following:
1. process material and heat balances;
2. process cycle development, correlation of pilot or research data, and correlation of
physical property data;
3. auxiliary services material and heat balances;
4. flowsheet development and detailed completion;
5. chemical engineering performance design for specific items of equipment required
for a flowsheet, and mechanical interpretation of this to a practical and
reasonable specification. Here, the process requirements are converted into
hardware details to accomplish the process end results at each step in the
product production process;
6. instrumentation as related to process performance, presentation, and interpretation
of requirements to instrument specialists;
7. process interpretation for proper mechanical, structural, civil, electrical,
instrument, and so on, handling of the respective individual phases of the
project;
8. preparation of specifications in proper form andlor detail for use by the project
team as well as for the purchasing function;
9. evaluation of bids and recommendation of qualified vendor.





Steps for Process Design












QUESTION ALONG THE PRESENTATION
1. What the different between the IMAGINE and PLAN from the steps of process
design?
Answer :
First, before you make your process design come true or before you put it
into the paper, you must to imagine it. You have to imagine how your process
design can be happened. You have to make it in your mind first before you draw it
into the paper. When you feel it is not good yet, you can replace it with another plan.
2. Do we must to think about the environment when we make a process design?
Answer :
Yes, we do. We have to think about the environment too. Because when
we design some process, it will be produces many waste and we must find the way
to solve them.
3. Is the process design important ? why?
Answer :
Of course, the process design is very important. Especially in the chemical
engineering. You cant make some industries if you dont design some process.
Before you build your own industry, you must find the best process for your
industry. Because it will influence your income.
