DESIGN METHODOLOGY goaL-- Produce design for chemical plant that: Is economically acceptable and Is operable,ie., eIs safe → Is controllable Is reliable,and Is environmentally acceptable
DESIGN METHODOLOGY: INPUT-OUTPUT DECISIONS goaL-- Choose the process chemistry and feedstock most appropriate to the plant to be designed and determine the associated economic potential
DESIGN METHODOLOGY III: RECYCLE STRUCTURE OF THE PROCESS goAL-- Determine alternate recycle structures for the process based on reactor operating requirements
