 GUIDELINE OF PLANT DESIGN PROJECT
FOR CHEMICAL ENGINEERING STUDENT
FACULTY OF ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITAS GADJAH MADA

I. Introduction

Plant Design Project is a capstone of Chemical Engineering Education in Universitas Gadjah Mada, and
a part of academic curriculum. In this project, students are trained to design a chemical plant by applying
knowledge they have previously learned. Here, students tackle various open-ended design problems in which
they sometimes need an iterative process to obtain a feasible solution.

II. Motivation and Objectives

The objective of Plant Design Project is to build students’ ability to design a chemical plant at
preliminary level by integrating elements of production system. In the project, students apply chemical
engineering tools (material balance, energy balance, rate processes, equilibrium, economics, and humanity)
along with best practices into a whole process system. The system must consider the aspects of Safety, Health,
and Environment (SHE) and sustainability. The students are trained to demonstrate their analysis-synthetic
ability. Various knowledge they have learned are applied in a comprehensive and integrative manner. Focus of
the design project is the application of engineering principles (scientific engineering, not engineering science)
in problem solving. That is the reason why interaction and communication between students and their project
supervisor play a vital role in the process. Hence, process during the design project is much more important
than the output of design itself. Through this project, students are expected to develop their soft skills, such as
communication, team work, and working within a timeframe.

III. Learning Outcomes

After taking this project, the students are able:

1. To explain: background of a process, its implementation (plant location, market, etc.), and
societal impacts; and to describe the philosophy of process control.
2. To construct a complete process flow diagram of a process.
3. To perform detail design calculation for main equipment of a process and quick designs for
other equipment; with sound justification of the taken considerations and assumptions and
also to choose appropriate referenced standard.
4. To work with incomplete information or uncertain, interpret and quantify the effect of this
on the design and, where appropriate, use theory or experimental research to mitigate
deficiencies 1.
5. To evaluate economic feasibility of the project.
6. To prepare written report of the preliminary design and to present it.

IV. Scope

Plant Design project is a chemical plant design at preliminary level, consisting of: preliminary process
selection and economic review (market analysis, site selection), preliminary process design (process flow
diagram, mass balance, and energy balance), process equipment design (sizing, specification), lay out,
preliminary SHE analysis, sustainability, process control, utility, management and organization, as well as
economic analysis.

1 More detailed explanations can be found in Appendix 2

1
This project is considered as an exercise for students to do plant design. The data required for the design are
not solely derived from research, experiment, or literature, but can also be obtained from estimation, rule of
thumb, and or empirical formulas.

V. Management

The Design Project activities are directed by the Head of Study Program, supported by assistant, a
team of mentors, and project supervisors (lecturers) for each team. In addition, student assistants for CAD
(Computer Aided Design) and Engineering Drawing are also available. Job and responsibility for each personnel
are ruled by the Department.

VI. Implementation

1) Title of the project and Supervisor

At the beginning of semester, the Head of Study Program Department offers a list of project titles and
corresponding supervisors. Each student group (maximum of 3 students) applies 2 of the titles. If a
title is chosen by 2 or more groups, the Department will arrange it further.

2) Project Schedule
A student group already got the title is obliged to pursue whole steps of the project on schedule. The
project is strictly limited in 33 weeks which is divided into 7 stages:
• Stage 1 -T1 (Week 0-1) : Briefing on conceptual design project
• Stage 2 -T2 (Week 2-4) : Preliminary Feasibility Study
• Stage 3 -T3 (Week 5-7) : Preliminary Process Design
• Stage 4 -T4 (Week 8-22) : Equipment Design
• 4a. Quick calculation for all equipment (Week 8-17)
• 4b. Detailed calculation (process and mechanical) for selected equipment (Week 18-22)
• Stage 5 -T5 (Week 23-25) : Utility (need, process design, shortcut sizing, process flow
diagram for water treatment)
• Stage 6 -T6 (Week 26-29) : Safety, Health, Environment and Process Control
• Stage 7 -T7 (Week 30-31) : Management and Economics
• Compiling a final report (Week 32-33)

It is compulsory for students to have a consultation with their supervisor to complete the project.
They need to submit to Academic Office of the Department:
• a report at the end of respective stage, and
• a final report at the end of the project.

There is a penalty for a late submission. Format of the report is set up by the Department.

2
3) Oral Examination
A group who has completed the project can proceed to the Oral Examination. The students sign up
themselves for the examination by submitting a draft of design report which is approved by their
supervisor to Academic Office of the Department.

4) Monitoring and Evaluation

In order to monitor and evaluate students’ progress on the project, the Department performs the
following:
- Providing a consultation form (Log Book). When the students have a consultation with their
supervisor, they have to fill out the book which contains information about consultation schedule
and agenda, suggestion for the design, etc.
- Setting up the implementation of the project into 7 stages that the students have to complete
stage by stage in turn (by submitting a report).

5) Assessment
Grading scheme of the students based on two aspects i.e. the Project and the Oral Examination.
- In the project, supervisor and a team of mentors independently assess the report submitted by
students and give a score with a 50:50 proportion respectively to the total. Assessment is carried
out at the ends of every stage. Evaluated factors and their weighted values are shown in Table
1a.
- After submitting the final design project report, the students have to conduct an Oral
Examination in front of a committee consists of his/her project supervisor, and 2 other examiners.
Even though Plant Design Project is carried out in a team, the Oral Examination is conducted
individually to assure that every student gets individual assessment. Aspects evaluated and their
weighted values in the Oral Examination are shown in Table 1b. Students must obtain the
minimum grade of 50 in the oral examination. In case lower than the grade, the students must re-
sit for oral examination set by the department.
- Final score of the Plant Design Project is calculated from the score the design project and the Oral
Examination with a proportion 75:25 respectively to the total. The score is then converted into
the final mark (A, B, C, etc.) with following criteria:

Score (N) Final mark Score (N) Final mark

N ≥ 80 A 61 ≤ N < 65 B-
76 ≤ N < 80 A- 57 ≤ N < 61 B/C
72 ≤ N < 76 A/B 53 ≤ N < 57 C+
68 ≤ N < 72 B+ 50 ≤ N < 53 C
65 ≤ N < 68 B 30 ≤ N < 50 D
N < 30 E

3) Ethics
Students must obey the academic code of conducts, such as the ones that are relating to plagiarism
and academic dishonesty, while they are working on the design project. In general, plagiarism is
defined as a deliberately presenting work, words, ideas, theories, etc., derived in a whole or in a part
from a source external to the students as though they are the student's own efforts. On the other
hand, academic dishonesty means any activities consists of any deliberate attempt to falsify, fabricate
or otherwise tamper with data, information, records, or any other material that is relevant to the
student's participation in any course, laboratory, or other academic exercise or function. Students
who are found to have violated the academic code of conduct are sanctioned by the rules applicable
at the university (Rector Regulation No. 711/P/SK/HT/2013).

VIII. Peer-review by external reviewer

The Department sends periodically a sample of final design reports to external reviewers as a mean
for quality assurance. Advice and suggestion received from reviewer(s) are to be implemented for further
betterment of the design project.

Process Equipment General Format XX-YZZ A/B

XX are the identification letters for the equipment classification
C - Compressor or Turbine
E - Heat Exchanger
H - Fired Heater
P - Pump
R - Reactor
T - Tower
TK - Storage Tank
V - Vessel
Y - designates an area within the plant
ZZ - are the number designation for each item in an equipment class
A/B - identifies parallel units or backup units not shown on a PFD
Supplemental Information Additional description of equipment given on top of PFD

Numbering example:

P-101 A/B identifies the equipment as a pump

P-101 A/B indicates that the pump is located in area 100 of the plant

P-101 A/B indicates that this spesific pump is number 01 in unit 100

P-101 A/B indicates that a backup pump is installed. Thus, there are two identical pumps, P-101A
and P-101B. One pump will be operating while the other is idle.
