procestechnische

Procestechnische, or Procestechnik, is the field of engineering focused on the design, optimization, and operation of industrial processes that transform raw materials into products. It combines principles from thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mass and heat transfer, reaction engineering, and separations with systems engineering and automation to create efficient and safe production systems.

Key goals of procestechnische work include safe and economical operation, consistent product quality, energy and resource

Activities in procestechnische contexts cover equipment selection and plant layout, reactor design, heat exchangers, distillation and

The typical lifecycle of a procestechnische project runs from feasibility and conceptual design to basic engineering,
