Facility Design Tutorial

Facility Design TutorialThis tutorial is designed to enhance knowledge of biotechnological/pharmaceutical processes. The topics cal processes. The topics covered within this tutorial will give preliminary nve preliinary explanations and conclusions. However, references for more in depth study will be provided. It is strongly suggested that you investigate these references. OverviewIntroduction – Description of facility design and why it is important to chemical engineers.Equipment– This section will describe equipment considerations during facility design.Utilities– This section will describe implications of facility design concerning facility utilities.Waste Systems– This section describes the role of waste disposal when developing a facility.Storage– This section will discuss the impact of raw materials and final product storage on facility design.ConclusionsIntroductionThe overall goal of process development is to implement a conceptual design into a manufacturing scale. For this reason, chemical engineers have to consider the implications of facility design.In facility design, the manufacturing process concept is transformed into a physical process within a facility. For this reason, a detailed block flow diagram (BFD) should be created. The facility can be designed from this BFD.This tutorial will describe a few of the aspects that should be taken into consideration when designing a facility for a pharmaceutical/biotech tech ...
