Roles and Responsibilities of Process Engineer & Basic Design Requirement

Relevant if you're touching real designs instead of classroom theory; it maps process roles to how work actually lands in prod. The Basic Design Requirement module where they walk through the design basis memo and the PFD vs P&ID handoff at battery limits stuck, especially the note on revising assumptions before freezing specs. I've used similar gates in arch/infra PRs, so the framing clicked, though I wasn't sold on how lightly HAZOP was treated. Mostly a handy reference when thinking about throughput vs constraints—process capacity feels a lot like RPS under load.

Much of it mirrored issues popping up in our current sprint: role boundaries, handoffs, and what actually belongs in basic design versus later. the battery limits example in the Basic Design Requirements chapter (sizing a transfer pump and flagging missing vendor data) stuck with me. It maps to how we sanity-check arch and infra before prod; I've already reused the role checklist during a PR review. I wasn't sold on the brief control-narratives section and wished there was more on ops handover in chemicalpharmaceutical plants, but it's still a handy add to the toolkit.
