Engineers responsibilities

This representation is easily understandable by those knowledgeable about the process technology and is a convenient mechanism for conveying the process requirements to the control engineers responsible for implementing the batch logic. 

Testing, certification, and installation rules for reheving devices are extensive. Eveiy chemical engineer responsible for the design or operation of process units should become veiy familiar with these rules. The pressure-relief-device paragraphs are the only parts of Sec. TII, Division I, that are concerned with the installation and ongoing operation of the facility all other rules apply only to the design and manufacture of the vessel. 

Does the facility have personnel whose duties include Reliability Engineering responsibilities ... 

Project or design engineer usually a mechanical engineer, responsible for keeping the costs within budget. 

Plant engineer responsible for mechanical maintenance such as testing of alarms and trips, as well as installation of new instruments. 

There are many other factors which affect project planning as it is related to process engineering. However, these are usually peculiar to the process or objective of the project. On first glance some of the items listed in Table 1-11 may appear to be unrelated to the process engineering requirements, and this can be the case for some types of projects. In these situations they become more of a project engineering responsibility. However, in many cases these have a relationship either to the process engineering requirements or to the decisions which must take this into account. 

Peaks and troughs in the man-hours allocated weekly for planned maintenance can be avoided if hours entered are added up for each week after a number of assets have been scheduled. Treating each plant room or department in this way provides the number of man-hours required for the respective plant room and/or department. All assets to be covered by the planned maintenance system are scheduled in the same format, thereby providing the engineer responsible for allocating the work tasks with total manhours for each trade group. 

In compiling the initial suggested guidelines for each of the contributions, 1 posed the questions to myself what information and assistance had 1 found difficult to locate during over 30 years as a plant engineer responsible for plants throughout the world and how could it be best presented to assist others in their profession. 

The stream physical properties are best estimated by the process engineer responsible for the flow-sheet. If they are then shown on the flow-sheet, they are available for use by the specialist design groups responsible for the subsequent detailed design. It is best that each group use the same estimates, rather than each decide its own values. 

The supervisor, manager, or engineer responsible should be reminded when a test or inspection is due, and senior managers should be informed if it has not been carried out by the due date. Test and inspection schedules should include guidance on the methods to be used and the features that should be inspected. For example, if the time of response is critical, it should be checked. 

In todays world, process safety engineers responsible for process areas covered by the... 

For changes proposed by employees (salaried or hourly, operations or maintenance) working within process units, a supervisor of the affected process unit initiates the MOC form. Typically, for changes that are inherent in capital projects, the engineer responsible for the project will initiate the MOC form. 

Reproducibility characterizes the preparation of a catalyst as much as the catalyst itself it is of concern to industrial users who want to be assured of the quality of successive charges of catalyst and it also preoccupies the various engineers responsible for developing the catalyst from the laboratory on to industrial manufacture. Indeed, the preparation of a catalyst generally takes place in several rather complex stages dependent on a large number of variables difficult to control simultaneously. The result is that it is indispensable to rapidly verify that the reproducibility of the preparation is feasible, as well as to keep in mind that the formula developed in the laboratory should be capable of extrapolation to pilot scale and to industrial scale under acceptable economic conditions. 

The chemical engineer responsible for the selection of materials of construction must have a thorough understanding of all the basic process information available. This knowledge of the process can then be used to select materials of construction in a logical manner. A brief plan for studying materials of construction is as follows ...
