Summary

This chapter presents formal methods and approaches for process systems engineering. This requires giving a brief introduction on process systems engineering and the difficulties and challenges and how formal methods can address these difficulties.

Among the challenges that faces process systems engineering is the process design and plant operation engineering and management. This chapter will provide practical formal methods approaches that are useful for process design and plant operation practices.
