Initial steps in building a chemical plant:

- Determine the desired product to be built.

The product is the result of the manufacturing process that will produce benefits.
Determination of the product produced is very important in designing a chemical plant
because this product will be marketed for profit. In determining the product to be
produced, it must be critical in looking at market needs so that the product can compete.

- Looking for patent references.

- Best patent reference regarding compound production process and supporting data
such as raw material ratio, catalyst ratio, operating conditions, product purity and so on.

- Describe the manufacturing process.

Process description is a description of the stages of the process of making raw materials
into products. Description of the process is very important in designing a chemical plant
because in this case it is a stage of making raw materials into products that will be
produced.

- Creating block process diagrams.

This flow diagram is used in the manufacturing industry to describe its operational
processes so that they are easily understood and easily seen based on the sequence of
steps from one process to another. Flowchart is a tool used to do Process Planning,
Process Analysis and Document Process as a standard Production Guide so it is very much
needed as a first step to design a chemical plant.

- Identify the input and output processes in each tool.

In designing chemical plants, it is necessary to identify input-output in order to identify

and disaggregate all expenditure flows between various economic and consumer
activities, between economic activities and the supply of existing inputs in the structure
of economic trade.

- Choosing the right tool in accordance with the process and raw material used.

The equipment selection process is considered at an early stage of the design process
because the equipment selection process determines quality, cost, and reliability, which
are important for customer satisfaction. Because of the availability of a large number of
equipment, the selection of equipment suitable for certain operations / products.

- Create and design flowsheets with effective and efficient processes.

Flowsheet is the core of a design because data errors in flowsheets will result in errors in
completing a project. Process Flowsheet Often also referred to as Equipment Flow Sheet
in which describes a complete set of process equipment with its main piping, control
equipment and indicators. This type of flowsheet lists data in detail of all available devices
and flows so that they are usually categorized as classified material.
- Make a mass balance and a hot balance.

A mass balance is made for a device or unit with certain restrictions. The amount of
material that needs to be specified is the incoming and outgoing materials specified.
These materials and mass balance are needed in designing the plant to identify the
amount of material needed in the process.

2. Information or data for preliminary design:

- Find information about the product you want to build as a factory. You do this by finding
as many references as possible about products needed in the world market through data
bps on exports and imports in the last 5 years.

- Observation of the patent contains the desired compound production process method,
in which there is very complete data, ranging from operating conditions, raw material
information, ratio of raw materials, purity of the resulting compound, and the best and
most efficient process technology from previous references that have been sought and so
on. You do this by finding as many references as possible and sorting out the best patents
from the best.

- Finding the best process description design to build the most effective and efficient
plant by seeking as much knowledge as possible and as well as possible. You do this by
studying and exploring chemical engineering such as chemical industrial processes,
chemical engineering principles, chemical reaction techniques, thermodynamics, heat
transfer, chemical industry tools, chemical engineering construction materials and so on
to suit the best process design at the factory.

- Find information to make block diagrams. You do this by studying and exploring
chemical engineering to design processes that are appropriate, effective, and efficient.

- Find identification of compound inputs and outputs in the production process. The input
and output of compounds in each tool greatly influences the calculation of processes such
as mass balance and heat balance. The trick, first identify the material that enters a
device when it reacts to produce anything. Do not leave the slightest input or output,
because it will affect the existing calculation process.

- Find information about the best tool to be used in accordance with the selected process,
and search for various kinds of information from various references. You do this by
studying and exploring chemical engineering such as chemical industry tools, chemical
engineering construction materials and so forth.

- Find information to make the best flowsheet to be designed. efficient by seeking

knowledge from as many references as possible and as well as possible. You do this by
studying and exploring chemical engineering such as chemical industrial processes,
chemical engineering principles, chemical reaction techniques, thermodynamics, heat
transfer, chemical industry tools, chemical engineering construction materials and so on
to suit the best flowsheet design.
- Finding information on raw material ratios, catalyst ratios, data in the Yaws book on the
coefficients a, b, c, d, etc. to find cp, etc. to make mass balance and heat balance. You do
this by looking for patents that have complete data, or data from alibaba.com, looking for
many references such as the Yaws book and other books that provide deepening about
the construction of chemical plants.
