Master the basic theories of chemical engineering, such as chemical engineering thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mass transfer, and chemical reaction kinetics (chemical reaction engineering). Master the methods and skills of chemical process design, as well as the tasks involved in process design, the scope of such design, and the responsibilities of process designers. Application of basic chemical engineering theories (chemical engineering design methods). Basic procedures for process design (process design skills). The final product documents of the process design (content and depth). Quality assurance procedures for process design. Familiarity with regulations related to environmental protection, safety, and fire protection, such as: HG20667-1986 Regulations on Environmental Protection Design for Chemical Construction Projects, SH3024-95 Standards for Environmental Protection Design in Petrochemical Enterprises, HG20571-95 Regulations on Safety and Health Design for Chemical Enterprises, SH3047-93 Standards for Occupational Safety and Health Design in Petrochemical Enterprises, GBJ16-87 (2001 edition) Code for Fire Protection in Building Design, GB50160-92 (1999 edition) Code for Fire Protection Design in Petrochemical Enterprises, GB50058-92 Code for Design of Electrical Installations in Explosive and Hazardous Environments. Some work experience is required. 1.2 Phases of Chemical Construction Projects 1.2.1 The phases of a construction project, with the engineering company as the main entity, are usually divided into three stages: Pre-project phase – The project proposal leads to approval, after which the project is officially initiated; Feasibility study report – Approval allows for the commencement of engineering design. Engineering design, in accordance with domestic approval requirements, includes: Preliminary design – Approval enables the construction unit to start work. Construction drawing design, in accordance with international practices, is divided into: process design, foundation design, detailed design, as well as construction, installation, commissioning, performance testing, and **acceptance (after which the factory begins operating normally). 1.2.2 The phases of a construction project, with the project owner as the main entity, are usually divided into four stages: project preparation, engineering design, project construction, and the factory’s commencement of production
