Specialization and Outsourcing

Operating Companies

• Own plants

• Produce chemicals

• High sales revenue

• Margins & return on assets (ROA) vary by sector

Technology Vendors

• Own patents

• Sell catalysts, enzymes, equipment, licenses

• Sales volume low

• Margins, ROA usually high

Engineering & Construction Companies

• Experienced project managers

• Highly competitive & cost effective

• Medium sales volume, low margins

Company Performance by Sector

Notes:

• Data from www.CNN.money.com as of 7.2.07

• Oil industry is usually not so profitable as during 2005-2007

• Technology companies are usually smaller, and are often subsidiaries or privately held. Financial data are often not publicly available.

Implications

• Most major projects involve several companies working together

• “OpCo” might itself be a joint venture between several companies

• The companies might all be based in different regions of the world

• Teamwork, technology transfer and effective communications have high impact and value

• Good project management is more important than ever

3. The Project Plan

Project must be delivered:

• On-time

• On-budget

• OpCo usually writes

incentives into the E&C

contract to ensure that

this happens

The Project Plan

• Is developed & implemented by the project manager

• Sets deadlines for completion of activities & intermediate deliverables

• Allows scheduling of subordinate or dependent tasks

• Allows estimation of the required manpower resources at each stage of the project

• Determines the procurement schedule & gives an estimate of when cash outlays are expected

4. The Design Basis

We need to know:

• What are we designing? How much of it do we want?

• Where will it be built? What are the boundary conditions?

Chemical Engineering Design

Process Design Basis• Documentation of design

assumptions and boundary

conditions is very important

• For new process plants, most

companies use some sort of

design basis form or questionnaire

to serve as a record of the design

basis

• This record is also essential in

handing off information between

the operating company, technology

suppliers and contractors

• There’s a template online at:

5. Design Practices: Codes & Standards

• Methods and rules for designing processes and equipment are given in design codes of practice

• Codes are set by national or international industry panels (e.g., ISO, ASME, API, ISA)

• Codes are reviewed and reissued frequently

• Codes specify practices for design, construction, testing and operation of equipment and processes, that are expected to lead to a safe design, based on the experience of the code committee

• Design in accordance with code is usually required by the company or by law

• Standard sizes for piping & equipment, compositions, etc. are given in standards

• Tubing dimensions, valve sizes, exchanger layouts, screw threads, wire gauges, screens, …

• The two terms tend to be used interchangeably

• Always consult the current (latest) edition of the code. Always make sure that the codes and standards used comply with local legal requirements.

• Examples will be given throughout the course

5. Design Practices: Design Factors

(Design Margins)

• Equipment is usually sized for greater than the

design throughput

– Allows for uncertainty in the design method and data

– Leaves some room for expanding output

– Ensures the plant can run at design capacity

• Companies usually have a policy on design

margins

– Typically size equipment for 110% of design basis

– Be careful to add design margin only once!

6. Design Documentation

Design information must be clearly documented to enable:

• Fair comparison between competing design alternatives

• Transfer of information to E&C company for detailed design

• Development of plant manuals

Design Documentation

The design documentation for a process usually includes a minimum of:

1. The design basis

2. A written description of the process

3. A process flow diagram

4. At least one mass & energy balance

5. Product specifications and properties

6. A list of major plant equipment

7. Equipment specification sheets

8. A piping and instrumentation diagram

9. A cost estimate

10.HS&E information (e.g., HAZAN, HAZOP, MSDS forms)

Additional information such as techno-economic analysis, market information, analysis of competing technologies or alternative design options may also be included if within the scope of the project

XYZ Co.

• The PFD or flowsheet

identifies all the

equipment items and

process streams

• Usually broken into

several separate sheets,

defining plant sections

• By convention, feeds

enter at left, products exit

right

• Usually also indicates

stream temperature &

pressure

10.HS&E information

• The P&ID is more detailed

than the PFD and almost

always runs to several

sheets

• It shows all the plant

instruments, control

systems, control logic and

shutdown systems

• It also shows pipe sizes

and metallurgy (but not

pipe layout)

• The P&ID is critical for

performing design safety

• Information on materials safety is

required for hazard analysis,

detailed design

• Material Safety Data Sheets

(MSDSs) must be provided to

employees and customers by law

in the U.S.A. (OSHA Hazard

Communication Standard 29 CFR

Part 1910.1200)

• Information also needs to be

collected to begin applying for

emissions permits

• The type of information needed

and level of detail varies locally
