Content of Process & Plant Design II Project Report

Sem II 2011/2012

MAIN CHAPTER SUBTOPICS

Chapter 1

Introduction

1.1 History and Background

1.2 Application of Products

1.3 Market Survey

1.4 Screening of Synthesis Route (With concrete justification, e.g.

availability of raw materials, comment on equipment purchase

and/or operating cost, effectiveness/efficiency of selected process.)

1.5Site Selection & Plant Layout

Chapter 2

Process Synthesis andFlow Sheeting

2.1 Process Flow Diagram (* Students cannot follow exactly patented

plant for their project. They need their own creativity to come out

with modification of existing plant. They can use the selectedprocess from Chapter 1 only as a guideline)

2.2 Manual Material and Energy Balance (in this part, students must

state clearly what is the assumption that they use and where all

the physical properties/correlation originated from. Numbered

clearly each process streams and show results for all streams)

2.3 Comparison of simulation and manual results; as a rough

guideline, error between them preferably should be less than

10%. In the case ofLARGE ERROR, students need to justify.

Chapter 3

Utilities

This chapter should describe details on the types of utilities used for

the proposed plant, total requirements (hot and cold) and also

preliminary design of the utilities sources (eq: boiler, cooling tower,

etc).

Chapter 4

Equipment Sizing

An equipment sizing should be done for all equipment involved in the

process. Students have to state the method they are using and give a

rough dimension of the equipment. For example Reactor: Material of

construction, Height, Diameter, Impeller power & diameter. Thisinformation is deemed to be sufficient.

Notes: Detail calculation either in Doc or Excel format should be

attached in Appendix.

Chapter 5

Process Safety Studies

Must submitcomplete P&ID for the whole plant printed in A3 paper.

(Student can use Visio to draw the diagram). On top of that, this

chapter should cover control and safety aspects of MAJOR

equipments only.

5.1 Introduction5.2 Identification of hazard

5.3 Control of hazard analysis

- DOW Fire, Explosion index, Toxicity5.4 Major equipment control

5.5 Major equipment HAZOP

Chapter 6

Waste Management

3.1 Introduction (Student have to identify the type, amount and

sources of the waste)

3.2 waste/ waste water treatment system (How/Strategy of

handling to comply with standard. State how much the cost if need

disposal)

Chapter 7

Economic Analysis

6.1 Introduction

6.2 Grass-roof Capital

6.3 Fixed and Total Capital Investment Cost

6.4 Manufacturing cost and total production cost

6.5 Cash Flow Analysis

6.6 Conclusion

Notes: Equipment cost estimation can be done via a standard method

available in Engineering Economics or Perry Handbook. Student must

state clearly the year of their index based on. FYI, the index is

different for every year. Its the duty of students to find out the latest

index (its some sort like rate/conversion index).

Chapter 8 Conclusions

and Recommendations

An overview of all chapters in the body of text and recommend

further steps that can be taken to improve the design.
