Diseño de procesos de la

industria de alimentos

Ingeniería de plantas de
producción de alimentos
- Students should demonstrates:
(1) ability to apply analytic knowledge and make assumptions.
(2) intuition about the effect of changing design variables.
(3) integrating biological principles into their designs.

- Students should be able to formulate a logical plan of attack for

solving design problems.

- Students devote time to the evaluation of assumptions and

designs (to understand where the basic concepts and principles
will fit into the bigger picture of design).

By exposing students to design at all academic levels,

generally, improve their capacity to solve and understand
open-ended problems.
El diseño de procesos está soportado en:
 application of
fundamental
empirical techniques
Process Design physical, chemical,
(experience)
and engineering
principles

use of computer modeling, and

process simulations

process cost energy environmental impact Product quality

and safety
Process design is used in the design of entirely new
(grass-roots) plants, but mostly in the expansion of
existing production facilities, and in plant upgrading
and modernization.

- new products
- improved quality
- process control
- energy saving
- safety and environmental requirements

economics and profitability

Design and construction of industrial plant

1. Feasibility study
a. Process design
b. Plant design

2. Engineering design
a. Process equipment (type and size of equipment)
b. Plant utilities

3. Plant construction
a. Civil engineering works
b. Installation of equipment
c. Plant Start-up
Process design involves the following stages:

(1) Selection of the proper flowsheet

(2) Material and energy balances

(3) Sizing of the required industrial process equipment

(4) Cost estimation

(5) Financial and profitability analysis

(6) Optimization of the process.
