Introduction A description of the product to be manufactured –Chemical formula –Purity required for market –Discussion of the role this product plays in the industry National trade International trade Survey of methods used to manufacture the product including the one proposed in your design –Give raw materials –Principle reactions, by-products and intermediates

Introduction II An explanation of the choice of the production method –This often involves a description of partially synthesized flow sheets and the reasons why these flow sheets were rejected in favor of the design selected. A discussion of the choice of production level and plant location A discussion of the reasons for entering the market at this time.

Introduction III An overview of the environmental issues encountered –Air Discharges from Plant –Water Discharges from Plant –Toxicity of the Chemicals –Plant Safety Problems

Planning Your Project What tasks are needed for you project Plan the time needed for the completion of each task Assemble the timing of when each task needs to be done to get the overall job finished on time –Leave extra time for proof reading –Leave time for oral presentation preparation –Leave some contingency time slack for poor planning
