As a process chemical process you should know that piping class refers to valves, flanges, fittings and gaskets (ASME B16) and not to the pipe pressure rating. Pressure rating is a relationship between temperature and pressure for standardized components mentioned above. This tells us what is the maximum allowed working pressure (MAWP), for a...

Process piping is probably something that every Chemical Process Engineer will always deal with. In a new project, you need to design the pipe size that best fit the process. In existing plant you need to evaluate if the piping system is not bottlenecking the process. From pipe size you calculate fluid velocity and...

As Chemical Process Engineer you need to be familiar with control valves function and design. To develop a process design you need to know which process data needs to be informed to Instrumentation Engineer or in other cases directly to Instrumentation Designer. Required process data depends on the kind of service is required by...

Process Simulation software is tools developed to faster chemical engineering calculation. There are many of them in the market: Aspen Plus, Hysys, Unisim, ChemCad, Prosim, SimCentral, DWSim are some of them. Although they use the same basic engineering concepts their interface can vary a lot one from another and learn new tools may be...

A great amount of documents is developed during process design. Some of them are specific for project phase others will be part of plant operations and subject to periodic assessment. Document List is where all documents related to a plant or a project are identified. To clarify, any document has it’s on identification usually...
