2. What is Process Engineering Anyway?
• Steady State Maintenance?
• Online definitions:
• “the branch of engineering that is concerned with industrial processes,
especially continuous ones”
• “focuses on the design, operation, control, optimization and intensification
of chemical, physical, and biological processes”
• Baking (Batch) vs Cooking (Dynamic)
