Basic Process Design

Once the process route has been decided, Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) are created which show the main pieces of process equipment and where material is flowing. The basic design conditions are likely to be known at this point, such as operating temperatures and pressures.

The design of the main pieces of process equipment will have been chosen by this stage.

Depending on the project, there may still be a number of options for consideration at this point, taking into account economic, practical, and safety matters to decide on the best overall design.

As only basic design parameters are known at this point, a HS2 Hazard Study 2 , or HazID Hazard Identification Study can be carried out at this stage. See HS2 definition.

What =Method can do for you

  • Provide experienced study facilitators for HS2 (HazID) studies.
  • Train and give mentoring support to aspiring study leaders.
  • Train hazard study team members – our hazard study for team members course runs publically, or can be run in-house to prepare your team for carrying out a hazard study 2 or 3.

=Method does not carry out process design, but can assist clients in selecting a suitable design partner.
