Minimizing the amount of hazardous material on-site rather than just adding "add-on" safety systems. The fundamental laws
The fundamental laws. Everything that goes in must come out or be accounted for.
Modern design relies heavily on (like ASPEN Plus, HYSYS, or PRO/II). These tools allow engineers to create a "digital twin" of the plant to test different scenarios before a single pipe is laid.
The heart of the process. Choosing the right temperature, pressure, and catalyst dictates everything else.
