The section focuses on process engineering and handling issues in the life cycle of systems. The focus is on the overall process and the interaction of the sub-components of a plant. The specific tasks and system engineering methods for process development and optimization, planning and construction of apparatus and plants, operation, management and maintenance of plants are important.
The topics include process synthesis, process and logistics simulation and process design. They also include the plant engineering implementation of a process developed in the laboratory and pilot plant using state-of-the-art methods and tools as well as operational optimization and the workflows of a plant engineer.
