  1. Chemical Engineering Plant Design LekWantha Lecture 01

  2. What is Chemical Process? A chemical process is a process which raw material are transformed or converted into desired product.

  3. Strategies for Chemical Product Design Need Ideas Selection Manufacture

  4. Need for Process Design To produce desired product To convert a purchased raw material To convert a waste by-product to a valuable product To find a new way of producing an existing product To exploit a new technology

  5. What is a process design? Process design establishes the sequence of chemical and physical operations; operating conditions; the duties; major specifications and materials of construction of all process equipment; the general arrangement of equipment needed to ensure proper functioning of plant; line sizes; and principal instrument.

  6. Plant & Process

  7. General Structure of Plant Raw Material Storage Process Product Storage Utilities

  8. It is important to keep in mind that design problems are open ended and may have many solutions that are attractive and near optimal.

  9. No two designers design a complex process following exactly the same steps.

  10. Process Design Constraints When considering possible ways of achieving the objective, the designer will be constrained by many factors which will narrow down the number of possible designs; but, there will rarely be just one possible solution to the problem, just one design.

  11. Process Design Constraints Several alternative ways of meeting the objective will normally be possible, even several best designs, depending on the nature of the constraints.

  12. Constraints External constraints - the constraints that are outside the designer’s influence. - Physical laws - Resources - Safety regulations - Economics - Standard & Codes - Government controls

  13. Constraints Internal constraints - the constraints that are capable of relaxation by the designer as part of his general strategy in seeking the best design. - Choice of process/unit operations/process conditions/nature of construction/etc.

  14. Steps in Designing Chemical Processes Assess Primitive Problem Survey Literature Process Creation Development of Base Case Detailed Process Synthesis Using Algorithmic Method Plantwide Controllability Assessment Detailed Design, Equipment Sizing and Cost Estimation, Profitability Analysis, and Optimization.
