ECH 355 Quiz 1

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
