Q

What are 3 Chemical Engineering Design Works?

A
  1. Modification and additions to existing plants. usually carried out by the plant design group.
  2. New production capacity to meet growing sales demand, and the sale of established processes by contractors. Repetition of existing designs, with only minor design changes.
  3. New processes, developed from laboratory research, through pilot plant, to a commercial process. Even here, most of the unit operations and process equipment will use established designs.
