  1. THE NATURE OF PROCESS DESIGN A Creative Activity ！

  2. The most effective way of communicating information about a process is through the use of flow diagrams. • Block Flow Diagram (BFD) • Process Flow Diagram (PFD) • Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID)

  3. Mixed Gas (2,610 kg/h) Toluene (10,000 kg/h) Reactor Gas Separator Benzene (8,210 kg/h) Hydrogen (820 kg/h) Conversion 75% Toluene Mixed Liquids Toluene Reaction : C7H8 + H2 = C6H6 + CH4 Figure 1.1 Block flow process diagram for the production of benzene Toluene and hydrogen are converted in a reactor to produce benzene and methane.The reaction does not go to completion, and excess toluene is required. The noncondensable gases are separated and discharged. The benzene product and the unreacted toluene are then separated by distillation. The toluene is then recycled back to the reactor and the benzene removed in the product stream.

  4. Table 1.1 Conventions and Format Recommended for Laying out a Block Flow Process Diagram 1. Operations shown by blocks. 2. Major flow lines shown with arrows giving direction of flow. 3. Flow goes from left to right whenever possible. 4. Light stream (gases) toward top with heavy stream (liquids and solids) toward bottom. 5. Critical information unique to process supplied. 6. If lines cross, then the horizontal line is continuous and the vertical line is broken. 7. Simplified material balance provided.

  5. Process Flow Diagram (PFD) A PFD includes the following items: 1. major equipments; 2. principal flow route and control involved from raw material feed to final product; 3. key temperature and pressure corresponding to anticipated normal operation; 4. material flow rates and compositions; 5. design duties and sizes of major equipments.

  6. Table 1.2 Conventions Used for Identifying Process Equipment Process Equipment General Format XX-YZZA/B XXare the identification letters for the equipment classification C - Compressor or Turbine E - Heat Exchanger H - Fired Heater P - Pump R - Reactor T - Tower TK - Storage Tank V - Vessel Y designates an area within the plant ZZ are the number designation for each item in an equipment class A/B identifies parallel units or backup units not shown on a PFD Supplemental Information Additional description of equipment given on top of PFD

  7. Table 1.3 Conventions for Identifying Process and Utility Streams Process Streams All conventions shown in Table 1.1 apply. Diamond (square) symbol located in flow lines. Numerical identification (unique for that stream) inserted in diamond (square). Flow direction shown by arrows on flow lines. Utility Streams lps Low Pressure Steam: 3-5 barg (sat)‡ mps Medium Pressure Steam: 10-15 barg (sat)‡ hps High Pressure Steam: 40-50 barg (sat)‡ htm Heat Transfer Media (Organic): to 400C cw Cooling Water: From cooling tower 30C returned at less than 45C+ wr River Water: From river 25C returned at less than 35C rw Refrigerated Water: In at 5C returned at less than 15C rb Refrigerated Brine: In at -45C returned at less than 0C cs Chemical Waste Water with high COD ss Sanitary Waste Water with high BOD, etc. el Electric Heat (specify 220, 440, 660V service) ng Natural Gas fg Fuel Gas fo Fuel Oil fw Fuel Water ‡These pressure are set during the preliminary design stages and typical values vary within the ranges shown. +Above 45C, significant scaling occurs.

  13. Activities of Process Design (1)Synthesis The step where one conjectures the building blocks and their interconnections to create a structure which can meet the stated design requirements. (2)Analysis (Simulation) The activity of modeling and then solving the resulting equations to predict how a selected structure should behave if it were constructed. (3)Evaluation The activity of placing a worth on the structure where the worth might be its cost, its safety, or its net energy consumption. (4)Optimization The systematic searching over the allowed operating conditions to improve the evaluation as much as possible. Parameter structure

  14. Process Synthesis A design task where one conjectures the building blocks and their interconnectionsto create a structure which can meet the stated design requirements.

  16. Figure 1.1 Synthesis is the creation of a process to transform feed streams into product streams. Simulation predicts how it would behave if it was constructed.
