4.8. Summary

The challenges of chemical product design are different from those of chemical process design. These challenges include dealing with customer needs, screening alternatives, batch processing and scheduling, and the need for interdisciplinary teams more than in chemical process design. This chapter has been only a brief introduction to chemical product design. The major issues have been introduced, and examples have been presented to illustrate these principles. The readers interested in a more detailed treatment of product design should consult references [1], [3], and [4].

What You Should Have Learned

• Chemical process design usually involves production of a chemical that eventually is used to make a product.

• Chemical product design involves the manufacture of a specific product such as a new chemical or a device that employs chemical engineering principles.
