8 Process Development Target Main tasks and decisions Main safety issues Development of process concept and scale-up to industrial scale. - Idea generation and process creation/innovation. - Laboratory and simulation studies on reaction mechanism and kinetics. - Examination of raw materials (pure and industrial grade). - Laboratory & reaction calorimeter tests. - Process alternatives generation - Bench and pilot scale tests. - Market survey. - Legal and patent check. - Use of hazardous material as feedstock. - Fail to choose the safer state of feedstock. - Incorrect data on the reaction kinetic and reaction behavior. - Incorrect data on runaway reaction potential. - Overlook the chemical reactivity and incompatibility. - Underestimate the effect of impurity, by-product and contaminants. - Unclear mechanism to control the unwanted/runaway reaction. - Inaccurate scale-up.

9 Preliminary Engineering Target Main tasks and decisions Main safety issues Preliminary process design for the feasibility study. - Process concept selection and flow sheet development. - Selection of unit operations. - Preliminary sizing of equipment. - Preliminary selection of construction material. - Site selection. - Final feed/product specifications. - Feasibility study. - Complicated and extreme routes selection (high temperature and pressure). - Unsuitable types of unit operations. - Unsafe operating conditions. - Overlook the chemical reactivity and incompatibility at process equipment level. - Lack of safety analysis on the chemical contaminations.

10 Basic Engineering Target Main tasks and decisions Main safety issues Creation of the process data for detailed engineering. - Detailed process design and optimization. - Process design of equipment and piping system. - Basic automation and instrumentation engineering. - Preliminary layout design. - Utilities design. - Waste minimization. - Hazard and operability study. - Inappropriate layout, positioning and physical arrangement. - Incompatible heat transfer medium. - Incorrect heating/cooling sizing. - Inadequate safety and process protection. - Wrong or inaccurate process data for equipment - Unsuitable material of construction. - Failing to consider corrosive environment. - Inappropriate mechanical/ physical and chemical resistance specification. - Incorrect material flow set-up. - Lack of safety analysis.

11 Detailed Engineering Target Main tasks and decisions Main safety issues Design of the physical process (equipment, piping etc.) for acquisitions and construction. - Detailed piping design. - Detailed layout design. - Instrumentation and automation design. - Mechanical design of the equipment. - Structural and civil engineering. - Electrical design. - Design of utilities/services. - Inappropriate piping layout and protection. - Inappropriate internal shape of equipment/component. - Incorrect location and positioning of support/ attachment/ venting of process equipment. - Inadequate electrical, mechanical and structural/ foundation specification. - Inadequate static, lightning and ignition sources control. - Inadequate detection, automation and instrumentation. - Inadequate operating, start-up, shutdown and emergency manuals. - Wrong specification of buy item. - No back up for utilities failure.

12 Fabrication, Construction & Installation Target Main tasks and decisions Main safety issues Acquisitions, construction and installation of the process. Starting up the process and make it to meet the specification. - Contracting and bidding. - Contractor selection. - Procurement. - Installation. - Inspection. - Testing. - Field changes. - Part or components miss-match. - Wrong installation or poor work quality. - Incorrect positioning of sensor/ instruments. - Accessibility. - Lack of monitoring and supervision of contractor. - Miscommunication between designer, contractors and plant owner.

13 Operation Target Main tasks and decisions Main safety issues Safe operations within design specifications and capacity. Improvement of the process. - Selection of safe operation and maintenance principles. - Gathering experience. - Process optimization. - Process improvement - Record keeping on plant histories and technological update. - Poor planning. - Lack of safety analysis. - Lack of technical and reaction knowledge. - Poor safety culture. - Poor inspection and maintenance. - Poor management of change.
