论文摘要
产生，组织，分析，理解和利用用于确定决策的数据的能力是化学工程师的核心活动。化学工程师负责化学设施的安全，有利可图和环保的运营；因此，预计他们将擅长设计和操作化学过程。为此，他们利用了涉及在实验室或试点工厂进行计划和进行实验的模型，分析生成的数据并利用IT用于设计大型工业系统。在运营的工厂中，他们需要分析数据，以实现最大的效率，减少宝贵的自然资源的使用，最大程度地减少环境降解，确保工厂的安全以及为客户和利益相关者带来价值。本章提供了非技术工程师如何将数据转换为最佳决策的最佳决策，从而导致可靠，安全和有利可图的过程设计和操作。
The ability to generate, organize, analyze, understand and leverage data for sound decision making is a central activity of chemical engineers. Chemical engineers are responsible for the safe, profitable and environmentally friendly operation of chemical facilities; thus, they are expected to be good at designing and operating chemical processes. To this end, they make use of models which involves planning and conducting experiments in the laboratory or a pilot plant, analyzing the generated data and making use of it for designing large scale industrial systems. In an operating plant, they need to analyze data so as to achieve maximum efficiencies, reduce the use of precious natural resources, minimize environmental degradation, keep the plant safe as well as to help generate value for the customers and stakeholders. This chapter provides a non-technical view of how chemical engineers translate data to the best possible decisions that result in reliable, safe and profitable process design and operations.
