3.0 LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR THE ASSIGNMENT/PROJECT/DESIGN
At the end of this assignment, the students should be able to:
a) Explain the processes involved to produce the main product at the chemical plant.
b) Describe thoroughly the impacts of chemical processes on safety, health and environment.
c) Explain the waste management system available at that plant.
4.0 DESCRIPTION
Your group is assigned to conduct an industrial visit to a chemical plant as part of the course activity for
more exposure to the real chemical engineering field. Apart from the visit, your group is required to
accomplish the tasks in Section 5.0. You may choose any suitable chemical plant from the journal if the
visit is canceled due to time constraints.
5.0 YOUR TASK
• Chemical processes
Explain the processes at the visited plant by considering the relevant diagram or PFD.
• Safety and health
Discuss the potential risk/accident that may occur for the whole process at the plant. List five (5) safety
and health practices in order to avoid or reduce that risk/accident.
• Environment
Identify at least 5 issues regarding the environmental effect of this plant and provide five (5) suggestions
for prevention.
• Waste management system
Identify type of waste from the processes and explain waste management system to reduce impacts to
environment.
