Involves designing the steps, systems, and equipment used in manufacturing processes. Process engineers create process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping & instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) to map out operations.
Process Optimization
Refining and improving existing processes to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize waste. Optimization can involve adjusting operational conditions, enhancing energy efficiency, or upgrading equipment.
Process Control
Ensuring that processes operate within set parameters to maintain product quality and safety. This involves monitoring systems and using control strategies such as feedback loops to adjust variables like temperature, pressure, and flow rates.
