Three Design Considerations
Economic, Ethical, Environmental
Process Design
Selection of process/Selection of Equipment/Piping Diagram
Plant Design
Detailed mechanical design
Design Process Step 1
Translation/Inception: Transforming the design requirements into a feasible concept.
Design Process Step 2
Generation of Design Solutions: Research or Investigate possible design alternatives and approaches.
Design Process Step 3
Evaluation of Solutions: Usually 2-3 Ideas are selected for further development and analysis to determine their viability and effectiveness.
Design Process Step 4
Fine Tuning Solution: Create detailed Engineering Design
Design Process Step 5
Prepare for Implementation: Procurement/Construction, and finalizing plans for execution.
Design Process Step 6
Implementation: Execute the plans and put the solution into action, ensuring all components function as intended. SOPs and EHS considerations.
Four Kinds of Chemical Engineering Products
Materials, Molecules, Formulations, Equipment
Material
Polymers/Composites, determined by manufacturing proces and optimized production to lower cost
Molecules
Pharmaceuticals, additives, modifying existing chemicals or new molecules for EHS
Formulations
Mixtures of multiple chemicals, uniform products, and direct contact with consumer with regulation
Equipment/Devices
Sensors/Medical Devices/Power Systems, assembly line with subcomponents, prototypes are crucial
Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
Translate needs into different specifications
