Rol of The Process Design Engineer

The role of a process design engineer includes evaluating research and pilot plant data to design commercial process schemes. They must prepare heat and material balances, rough cost estimates, and production cost estimates to establish the financial viability of a proposed process. Process design engineers also participate in plant layout planning and prepare detailed equipment sizing and balances.

Rol of the Process Design Engineer

Although the working role of the process design engineer


may include all of the technical requirements listed
above, it is very important to recognize what this entails in
some detail. The process design engineer, in addition to
being capable of participating in evaluation of research
and pilot plant data and the conversion of this data into a
proposed commercial process scheme, must also:
1. Prepare heat and material balance studies for a
proposed process, both by hand and by use of
computer programs.
2. Prepare rough cost economics, including preliminary
sizing anid important details of equipment, factor
to an ordler of magnitude capital cost estimate
[ 341 (see also [ 191 ) , prepare a production cost estimate,
and work with economic evaluation representatives
to establish a payout and the financial
economics of the proposed process.
3. Participate in layout planning for the proposed
plant (see [46] [47]).
4. Prepare final detailed heat and material balances.
repare detailed sizing of all process equipment
and possibly some utility systems. It is important
