Reading Question 1.4:

Beginning with an idea, the Process Development Research Group would develop the chemical process(es) needed to make that idea come to pass. Initial work would be on the laboratory scale and would eventually progress to the building of a pilot plant to provide the data and experience necessary for design and construction of the full-scale production plant. The Plant Design and Construction Group would have responsibility for designing and building the production plant.This group may also be involved in construction of the pilot plant. Environmental Engineering would play a role in the design process, and continue to play a role once production begins to insure that environmental regulations are not violated. Process Engineering would have primary responsibility for start-up and operation of the production plant. Individuals in Technical Chemical Sales would interact with customers to promote sales and use of the product.
