What are the principles for selecting production methods and process flows in chemical engineering design?
Overall, it’s still a matter of economics.
I think the principles are relatively mature and can meet the actual requirements of the property owners
This is covered in books on chemical engineering design; the top priority is the reliability of the process flow.
First: Meet production and quality control requirements, and be safe and feasible based on existing technology. Second: Maximize energy savings, reduce consumption and emissions, thereby lowering infrastructure and operational costs as well as minimizing environmental harm. This is specifically reflected in low material loss, low circulation volume, low energy consumption, and good recycling efficiency.
On a larger scale, it is necessary to comply with regional and relevant policies, as well as ensure the practicality, advancement, cost-effectiveness of the technology, along with its safety and environmental compatibility. On a smaller scale, this means relatively low investment with relatively high returns!
