Process Design 
Process design is a complex process requiring expertise and the correct set of process design tools to accurately depict the process. Process design, whether designing a new process or modernizing an existing process, require knowledge of the process equipment, the chemical components, thermodynamic methods, applicable regulatory requirements, and standard design practices in order to produce accurate mass and energy balances for the process.

Failure to properly design a new process or modify an existing process can have disastrous effects. Poor designs can lead to increased operating costs, increased capital costs, and in the worse case, unsafe operating conditions.

Proper process design incorporates simulation software in order to accurately model a process to ensure that the process can be designed safely with the lowest total cost of ownership by increasing the efficiency of the design engineers and reducing the time needed to complete an accurate design.

Simulation software can create rigorous mass and energy balances based on the processes chemical components, related thermodynamics, and the equipment configuration.
