The project covers the engineering of all or part of a process plant. It requires the application of material covered in the entire undergraduate Chemical Engineering Degree program. The minimum requirements of the project are specified by the relevant engineering institutions accreditation standards. The project includes: selection and evaluation of the process flow sheet; design of facilities for processing, transport and storage of materials within the plant; plant sizing; equipment selection and cost estimation including utility requirements; plant location and layout; evaluation of the economic viability of the plant; control scheme development; hazard and risk assessment; preparation of an environmental impact statement; preparation of a piping and instrumentation diagram. All aspects of the design are completed with regard to statutory requirements. Students develop skills in team work, interpersonal relationships, decision making and technical capabilities.
