SECTION CONTENTS
Each section must begin with a title page listing those who have contributed to
the material it contains. The material itself should be arranged in sub-sections
numbered on a decimal basis (e.g., IX.3 Emergency Plant Shut-down
Procedure). Pages should be numbered within sub-sections, each page carrying
its unique number and authors initials in the top right-hand corner (i.e.,
Section.Sub-section.Page, for example IX.3.4). The expected content for each of
the main report Section (I-XI) is as follows:

Give a brief review of global and local markets for the product including its main
uses. The production capacity, based on the product growth rate, and the site
location should also be covered within the scope set in your project assignment.
Review of alternative processes should be conducted based on available patent,
journal, handbooks, etc. A concise description is needed for all alternative
processes considered, including state-of-the-art technologies (e.g., patented
processes). The selected process route must be justified on a range of
considerations including safety, environmental impact, economics (via economic
potential evaluation), raw material supply and sustainability.
A site study to determine the location of the site should be conducted. Besides,
plant layout of the designed plant should be provided in this section.
Section IV. Mass and Energy Balances: This section must comprise:
Process Flow Diagram (PFD)
Process description
Mass Balance
Energy Balance
The PFD shows the arrangement of the processes with the interconnecting
streams. In the PFD, equipment are to be represented using standard symbols
and identified by individual numbers (as listed in Section VI). All process
streams should carry a stream index number corresponding with entries in the
mass balance. All streams and equipment should be labelled with their design
temperatures and pressures. It is strongly recommended that the PFD is
produced using AUTOCAD. Note that an A1-size soft copy of the finalised PFD is
required to be submitted together with the final report.
The mass balance should contain a componential breakdown (based on
equipment) and total for each process stream (mass balance check) using its
stream index number which cross-references with the PFD. The temperature and
pressure of each stream must also be quoted. The basis for the mass balance
must be clearly stated in a table form (i.e. amount of raw material, specification
of raw materials used, etc.). In addition, assumptions, such as no heat loss to
the environment, no leakages, consistent raw material quality, etc., should be
listed. A footnote should also be given to indicate the location of the underlying
detailed calculations (presented in Appendix AI or beyond). Sample of mass
balance sheet is given in Attachment A.
An energy balance is to be presented for the whole plant based on energy flows
for each equipment item in the PFD. Basis of calculation (e.g., constant for heat
capacity, vaporisation, etc.) and assumptions should be provided. Reference
should be made to the underlying detailed calculations presented in Appendix AI
or beyond.
To follow the design practise in the industry, a commercial simulation software
(such as Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, DESIGN II for Windows, SuperPro Designer
and UniSim Design) should be used to perform mass and energy balances of the
process. Based on the simulation results, comparison between manual and
sequence them within a group in order of ascending item number. Item numbers
normally increase when moving from the feed section to the product section
throughout the PFD.
The list of equipment is an important document in ensuring no item is
overlooked in preparing the PFD, plot plan or equipment specifications or in
compiling capital cost data.
For every item in the list of equipment, an equipment specification sheet
(sometimes called a data-sheet) must be presented in the same sequence as the
one presented in the equipment list. All equipment specifications must carry the
following information:
Item Code Number
Item Name (plus any further details required for clarity)
Authors Name
Reference by page number to supporting calculations
Equipment specifications may be prepared at three alternative levels of detail,
according to Attachment C. The information contained must be adequate for
the capital cost of the item to be estimated. As a guide, some specific examples
are given through Attachments D, E and F, and these are referred to below.
First, a thorough chemical engineering design of most of the equipment
involved can be attempted (e.g., reactors, towers, drums, heat exchangers etc.)
but some more specialised items (e.g. those involving motor drives such as
pumps and compressors) require thorough design by an equipment vendor. It is
then your job to provide the vendor with adequate information to arrive at a
suitable design in the form of a load-sheet (see Attachment D-II, an example
for a compressor).
Secondly, in the majority of cases where a thorough chemical engineering
design is possible, you may choose one of two levels of detail:
i)
ii)
DETAILED - In this case you will progress the design further with more
detail and precision. For a heat exchanger, instead of choosing a typical
heat transfer coefficient, you will calculate it by taking into account
flowrates, tube size and arrangement, baffle spacing etc. For the column,
instead of using a quick sizing method, you would develop a rigorous
Environmental Protection:
This section should summarise how all forms of discharge from the plant into the
environment (air, water and land), arising either continuously or intermittently,
will be handled. For continuous releases, e.g., wastewater, sour gas, sludge,
etc., attention should be paid to the steady discharge rate; whilst for
intermittent releases, e.g., arising from emergency pressure relief, plant shutdown, spent catalyst, etc., the total quantity is important. The relative severity
of each discharge should be identified. Systems for handling or treatment should
be identified and discussed thoroughly for any discharge that is not
in
compliance with the Malaysian Environmental Quality Act (EQA) 1974 (USEPA
guidelines should be used for toxic chemical emissions). The scope of some
projects may also include design of equipment items for effluent abatement and
waste or wastewater pollution prevention schemes.
Section VIII.
Process Safety:
It is of the utmost importance to design a plant that is safe and easy to operate.
The plant safety study should be based on the PFD and should include a coarse
scale hazard analysis for the complete plant, a detailed Bow-tie diagramme and
HAZOP study of a plant sub-section (done as a group) and a statement of how
you propose to deal with the hazards identified through equipment design and
operating procedures.
A plant-wide HAZOP study and bow tie diagram for major equipment are
required to enable the report on hazard assessment, suggestion of actions/
safety barriers and meaningful recommendation. Those recommendations should
be reflected in the piping and instrument diagram (P&ID).
Note that only the summary of HAZOP study is included in the main report.
Meanwhile, the detailed HAZOP study and all other supporting details are
included in an appendix (e.g. appropriate material safety data sheets (MSDS),
Note: That in all parts of the report, no credit will be given for the
inclusion of marginally relevant material downloaded from the web. If
no reference as to the original source is cited this will be treated as
plagiarism.
