How Chemical Process Engineers Start Plant Design Projects

Chemical process engineer Jeferson Costa presents this 50-minute lecture on how chemical plant design projects are started, including the various process engineering documents that are created during the design phase and the use of ASPEN HYSYS software for process simulations.

Starting with scope, schedule and cost requirements, Costa goes through the different steps of chemical plant design using photos of facilities, screenshots of software in use, and process flow diagrams. Viewers will also gain an understanding of how process datasheets are used for equipment selection.
