Course description:
The course covers two aspects:
a) Basic economic analysis of a chemical plant and various profitability criteria
b) Safety and operability issues in a chemical plant and their incorporation in plant
design. The students will be required to complete a design dissertation as a part of the
evaluation.
Pre-requisites:
Heat Transfer, Advanced Heat Transfer, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Mass Transfer,
Fluid mechanics, Process Control
Objectives:
The objective of the course is to expose students to basic concepts in engineering
economics, plant design, safety features and its application to chemical engineering.

Introduction to Plant Design

The purpose of engineering is to create material wealth.
– Douglas, Conceptual Design of Chemical Processes 1988.
The goal of the engineer is to design and produce artifacts and systems that are beneficial to mankind.
– Biegler, Grossman & Westerberg, Systematic Methods of Chemical Process Design 1997.
