Abstract
A structural approach for optimal process design to realize robust unattended process plants is presented. Existing design of chemical plants is complex and expensive. It's operation required continuous attention. This is caused by provisions built in to cope with component unreliability, operational upsets and flexibility. Various process design philosophies are discussed to achieve simple and robust designs. Next to the design philosophies we will identify design methodologies and design techniques which will lead to simple and reliable plant design. Special attention is given to operation aspects of plants of which the designs are based on minimal interventions. The drive for design simplicity and robustness will lead to inherently safer plant designs and will result in a much lower investment and less operational attendance in comparison to conventional designs.
