EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Brief overall of the proposed project (maximum ½ page)

CHAPTER 1

Overview of the project

 Project background
 Feasibility/techno-economic study (Break down into subsets of available technology,
market analysis, governmental policies & capital funding’s, & etc.)
 Findings & recommendation on plant selection & location (supplies,
climate/environmental, political strategy, & etc.)

Proposed Process Plant

 Basic plant operation (raw material/s, main & intermediate products, by-product &
wastes, & etc.)
 Flow-Sheet (stylized pictorial of plant’s general & auxiliary equipment)
 Schedule & timeline of the project (project progress structure; from project
specification to operation & sales)

CHAPTER 2

Plant Design (Final)

 Process flow diagram drafting (Detailed stream numbers/name, Formative & peer
reviewed); suitable printout sizing
 Summarize process condition of every stream (stream composition, flow rate, temp
&pressure)
 List & summarize all Primary & Auxiliary equipment in the plant (Equipment
identification)
 Isometric Drawings of Plant/Equipment layout & piping (AVEVA PDMS, CAD, etc)

Piping & Instrumentation Diagram (Formative & peer reviewed)

 Detailed stream numbers of all primary & auxiliary equipment; suitable printout
sizing
 Detailed identification of valves & fittings
 Detailed identification of instrument controller and control loops.

Simulation
 Dynamic/steady state simulation of plant design (Aspen Plus, CHEMCAD, etc.)

CHAPTER 4

Safety & Hazard Analysis

 Hazard & Operability (HAZOP) study of process/project design (pressure,
temperature, noise, containment failure, fire & ignition, explosion, human error, &
etc.)

Health & Environmental Analysis

 Identifying environmental regulation abatement required within process plant
(Toxicity, flammability, instability, radiation, & etc.)
 Improvement of Pollution Control System within initial plant design (Air pollution,
water pollution, solid waste disposal, Thermal & Noise control, & etc.)

CHAPTER 5
Identify & justify possible sub-optimization for best investment strategy via:

Process Optimization (Supported by software simulation, eg. ASPEN PLUS)

 Optimum Production Rates (catalytic converter, multi stages reactor, etc.)
 Other possible utility optimization (Reflux ratio, Cyclic Operation, etc.)

Utility Optimization (supported by software simulation, eg. Aspen Energy Analyzer, HINT)
 Pinch Analysis & Heat Exchanger Network
 Other possible utility optimization (Cooling water flow rate, Piping Diameter, etc.)
