Abstract
Until relatively recent times, the overall approach to process engineering design considered what is needed, what can be spent, how much can be made, and how fast can an investment be recovered and profits begin to flow. In a world of overabundance, unlimited space, and raw materials, this was sufficient. Modern SE design however, must also consider safer alternatives to the desired product, permanent availability of raw materials, with strict, primary emphasis on renewable resources, and Environment, Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH) compliance and protection for the public as well as industrial workforce.
