During the detailed engineering phase each aspect of the plant arrangement is considered carefully. Using the information and design Motivation for process optimisation?
The reasons often lie in the following areas:

• Increased performance / throughput
• Minimization of raw material use
• Re-usage of waste (raw) materials
• Minimizing energy consumption
• Minimizing change-over / lost times

• Increasing the reproducibility
• Reduction of waste level
• Reduction of quality costs

• Reducing standstills
• Increased plant availability
• Reduction of maintenance costs

• Increasing the efficiency of operators
• Increasing safety

• Minimizing the environmental impact
• Reduction of waste disposal costs
