What should one do first upon entering the process room of a design institute?

When it comes to reading books, if your field is process engineering, systems, or piping, you can study basic books such as Chemical Process Design Manuals, Training Materials for Pressure Pipeline Design Reviewers, Design Reference Manuals for Petrochemical Pipeline Installers, GB50160, GB50016, GB50058, HG 20570, and others.

Which is more important, chemical engineering standards or software like ASPEN PRO2? Should we still study together?

Staying in front of the computer all day without even being allowed to go online really requires discipline……

If it’s about process engineering, the focus is on calculation. If working on process systems or piping/layout, the focus should be on the specifications

The company has brought you here not to let you surf the Internet; lack of dedication is the biggest flaw among those new to the workplace. Why not take a look at what others are doing, or find out what they are up to? Or get to know your colleagues around you, as you will be working with them for a long time in the future.

So, if one needs to look up things like material properties or other information of that kind, can’t one just browse forums? After all, it’s not prohibited to use the Internet to do such searches

As a design institute of moderate size, it now has a comprehensive internal database that includes commonly used data as well as various specialized calculation and simulation programs; in addition, the document room certainly contains a large amount of relevant materials and manuals. To say something you might not like to hear: if you treat your colleagues at work in such a manner, it really won’t lead to any good outcomes. Perhaps you have a strong background. Since you are already in the process room, how much do you know about the process flow, process characteristics, material/balance and heat balance of the equipment involved in the design work you will be carrying out, as well as the economic and technical analysis, the selection of appropriate routes, control features, and equipment specifications? Additionally, having met a few young and older engineers working nearby, how much do you know about where to find the application information you need, and where the relevant data sheets can be located? Where do those technicians of yours get the information from when there’s no internet? Where the design studio’s manuals and the shared materials on the corporate server are stored, what permissions are in place, etc.… How much do you know about this? Don’t think that a lot of information is available online; let me tell you, many truly useful sources of information are your colleagues around you. If you don’t believe it, you can try a few times.
