Abstract
The pilot plant is indispensable in the development of chemical processes. Yet it is seldom covered in a typical chemical engineering curriculum, leaving it as one of the subjects that the graduate is supposed to learn “on the job.” The author suggests that this omission is a failure of today’s educational system. Given the importance of pilot plant, which can be viewed as one of the four elements of process development,[1] there is some truth in this assertion. At least this omission forgoes an opportunity to show the students how basic principles, experiments, know-how, experience, simulations, literature data, workflow, etc., come together in the development of products and processes.
