Project Overview
The project is to be completed at approximately 4-week intervals throughout the semester. The
project will conclude with presenting plant layout (include Emergency Response Team- ERT and
Emergency Response Plan- ERP). You will work together in group, each team on a slightly different
problem. The full design project will contribute 10% to your final grade, however….
1.0 Project Description
1.1 The project titles are (1st come 1st serve):
1) Production of Toulene
2) Production of Benzene
3) Production of Ammonia
4) Production of Propylene
5) Production of Methanol
6) Production of Citric Acid
7) Production of Sulfuric Acid
8) Production of Sodium Hydroxide
9) Production of Acetone
10) Production of Styrene
11) Production of Ethylene
12) Production of Ethanol
13) Production of Cumene
14) Production of IPA
15) Production of Acetic acid
1.2 The project task will be:
a) Enroll yourself in the group of your selection (G1, G2, G3, ...... G25) in KALAM. Each group
will have 4 members. You can have a discussion with your best mate before deciding the
group number.
b) Once together create a UNIQUE and memorable group name. The name will be your identity
in this project.
c) ONE (1) group member need to choose the tittle in KALAM (1st come 1st serve).
d) Find an article or reference which has a detailed process flow diagram (PFD) of the
chosen tittle (Due date: 22 April 2022).
e) Choose TWO major units (one from reaction unit and one from separation unit) for
HAZOP and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). The example of the PFD is shown in Figure 1.1,
where red box represent the reaction units and blue box represent the separation units. If
you can’t find exactly the same, no worry, as long as it is a PFD (Due date: follow
KALAM).:

f) Design your Emergency Response Team (ERT) and job scope for each member.
g) Design a detail plant layout contains ERP elements and ERP descriptions of your plant.
h) Report format: Font (Calibri) with 11 pt and single spacing. Margin 2 cm (top,bottom,
right), 2.5 cm (left).
i) Table title must be on the top of the table while figure title at the bottom of the figure.
j) Proper CITATIONs and REFERENCEs.
k) Maximum page for report is 15 pages.
