The PDP is the technical backbone
A Process Design Package should clearly describe what is being built, what the process must do, what assumptions apply and what information is still open.
What should be included
Typical contents include basis of design, process description, mass and energy balance, PFDs, P&IDs, equipment list, datasheets, utility summary, control philosophy, safety basis, layout input and open item register.
Why many PDPs fail
PDPs often become collections of disconnected documents. Promacon focuses on keeping the design basis, assumptions, process description, equipment data and operating requirements aligned.
For licensors and scale-ups
For technology licensors, the PDP is often the bridge between technology development and the first license, pilot or demonstration plant.
Frequently asked questions
A Process Design Package is the structured technical basis used to develop, review, engineer and eventually build or scale a process plant.
No. A PDP usually defines the process technology basis. FEED develops the broader engineering design for a specific project and site.
Yes. Promacon can create the PDP structure, document index, templates, registers and key technical content.
