[Topic 1] Intro And Project Development Flashcards
This includes all engineering aspects involved in the development of either a new, modified, or expanded industrial plant.
Plant Design
A role of chemical engineer where he/she designs individual pieces of equipment or develops a plant layout.
Design Engineer
A role of chemical engineer where he/she specializes in the economic aspects of the design.

Why research outputs like plant design are shelved?
Because many researchers lack plans and vision of mass production and creation of large-scale opportunities.
Simplified stages of process development in plant design.
- Inception - Design Objectives
- Setting the Design Basis
- Generation of Possible Designs
- Project Development
- Economic Evaluation, Optimization, and Selection
- Detailed Design and Equipment Selection
- Procurement, Construction, and Operation
What happens in Process Section?
- Process evaluation
- Flowsheeting
- Equipment specifications
What are involved in specialist design sections?
- Vessels
- Control and instruments
- Compressors and turbines pumps
- Layout
- Civil work structures buildings
- Utilities
- Piping Valves
- Electrical
- Heat exchangers and fire heaters
Two types of management framework
- Waterfall Design Framework
- Agile/Iterative Design Framework
Process of Waterfall Design framework
- Detailed Requirements
- Design and analysis
- Implementation
- QA/Evaluation
- Deployment with presence of risk
- Value
Process of Agile/Iterative Design framework
- Project Start
- Iterations
- Project End
Each iteration comprises the following step cycle
1. Detailed requirements
2. Design & Analysis
3. Implementation and Developer Testing
4. QA/Acceptance testing
5. Deployment
6. Evaluation/Prioritization
It originated from sales department.
Inception
A result of a customer request.
Inception
To meet a competing product.
Inception
This involves the feasibility process and preliminary market surveys.
Design Basis for Preliminary Evaluation
What are included in the feasibility process during design basis for preliminary evaluation.
- Physical and chemical processes involved
- Economic aspects
An aspect in the design basis for preliminary evaluation that needs analysis of the market.
