Process Design Package Development for the First of a Kind Technology

The process design package (PDP) comprises a series of documents that provide technology and process information in enough detail to allow an EPC company to prepare a FEED package, and / or to prepare detailed design of process and equipment for plant construction. The presentation outlines the following topics: (1) scope and deliverables; (2) technology information that has been developed from R&D laboratory and pilot plant; (3) information of feed stream, battery limits, available utility, existing plant, meteorological and geological from site / plant; (4) common steps and procedures; and (5) challenges and solutions for developing a process design package.  Examples are used to illustrate how to design commercial units.
