Process Definition & Flowsheet Development
Translate chemistry, test data, operating requirements, and equipment interactions into a process basis that supports technical decisions and further project development.
Process Definition & Flowsheet DevelopmentIllustrative
When clients bring MTS in
When the process needs a defined basis.
Use this work when chemistry, test results, streams, recycles, preliminary equipment duties, and operating requirements need to be organized into a process that the project team and vendors can work from.
Useful starting information
Bring the feed, product, and process constraints.
Useful inputs include feed and product information, chemistry, test data, target throughput, utility limits, site constraints, vendor information, and any existing diagrams or calculations.
Complete capability set
Work can include
- Conceptual process flowsheets
- Block flow diagrams
- Process flow diagrams
- Stream definition
- Mass and component balances
- Water and reagent balances
- Recycle and purge definition
- Process boundaries
- Operating basis
- Process descriptions
- Preliminary equipment duty definition
- Solids and liquid-handling strategy
- Batch versus continuous evaluation
- Utility requirements
- Process-control requirements and operating intent
- Alternative flowsheet comparison
- Flowsheet optimization
- Pilot-to-commercial evolution
Typical deliverables
What the client can expect to receive
- Block flow diagram or process flow diagram
- Stream table and material balances
- Process description and operating basis
- Preliminary equipment duty calculations and requirements
- Process-control requirements, assumptions, and data gaps
Scope boundary
- Conceptual process support
- MTS develops conceptual process information, calculations, and technical inputs to support owner decisions, technology development, vendor engagement, and subsequent engineering. Final engineering design, sealed deliverables, and Engineer-of-Record responsibility remain with the appropriately licensed engineering provider when required.
Next step
Discuss this work.
Describe the situation, the constraint, and the decision it needs to support. MTS will say plainly whether this is the right scope.
