What are the Challenges Faced by Process Engineers?
Several challenges can arise, including:
- Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts can lose their effectiveness due to poisoning, sintering, or fouling. - Scale-Up Issues: Laboratory conditions are often ideal, but replicating these conditions on an industrial scale can be challenging. - Economic Constraints: Balancing cost with performance is always a significant concern. - Environmental Regulations: Ensuring that processes comply with stringent environmental standards is crucial.
