SAFETY IN THE

PROCESSING INDUSTIAL PLANT.

In industrial plant, most of the processes that use a large amount of energy and involve the
use of temperature and pressure to form new produces from unsafe chemicals or materials can
contribute to fires, explosion, toxic gas release and all the disastrous moments. Chemical
engineers should play an important role in preventing these unpredictable accidents as it
involving human safety and life. Chemical engineers count on their knowledge of mathematics
and scienceparticularly chemistry to overcome technical problems safely and economically.
Plus, they apply their engineering knowledge to solve any technical challenges they encounter in
the processing industrial plant.

The chemical engineers are responsible in the managing scale-up processes from plant to
full industrial-scale manufacturing. During this process, all the aspects are considered from the
process design and technology use, the chemical process and reactions, conservation particles, to
the emergency awareness. All of this must be measured to govern whether or not they have the
ability to indicate devastation in the plant itself and to the surrounding public. Chemical engineer
can modifying the processing plant that produces the products and designing new plants that are
safer and more efficient.

Other than that, chemical engineers working closely with process chemists and monitor the
other engineers to ensure the process plant is set up properly to provide maximum output levels
and efficient successively of the production. If the plant is set up properly, the chances of the
unwanted incident can be reduced. It is the engineers responsibility to ensure the designing plant
and equipment configuration all safe instead of functioning at its best.

By developing and testing the process first, before making it function in the industrial
plant, chemical engineer have assess the options whenever there is something goes wrong
somewhere in the system. All the possibilities that might happen in the future been listed out
together with the solutions. From designing, installing and commissioning new production
plants, including monitoring developments and troubleshooting if there is unpredicted reaction
happens. All the possibilities was studied and taken care in the testing process so that later in the
real processing industrial plant, all consequences can be predicted and be avoiding by
troubleshooting it quickly. These can avoid any loss and huge damage which may need massive
cost to recover and also many lead to bad side effects health to human and the environment.

Chemical engineers ensure that potential safety issues related to the project operator, the
environment, the process and the product are considered at all stages. They comprehensively
familiar and aware with the process that being analyses, predict the potential hazard scenarios,
potential consequences and examining proposed modifications or changes to the process,
materials, equipment or facility quickly if there is anything goes wrong to avoid the devastation
to occur. For example in environmental engineering, chemical engineers develop processes such
as catalytic converters and effluent treatment facilities to minimize the release of or deactivate
products harmful to the environment.

Chemical engineers do improvement in the process by designing new process plant and
modifying the existing ones to be improved in safety prospects. They can do so by collecting
data required to make improvement. They using scientific principles related to magnitude,
momentum, heat transfer etc. in order to make the plants they design have maximum safety
features. Other than that, they must ensuring that equipment works to its specification and to
appropriate capacities instead of assessing safety and environmental issues and ensuring safe
working conditions and compliance with health and safety legislation.
