Today, process engineers are responsible for many project activities, including conceptual design, revamp studies and operational troubleshooting. Increasingly, the process simulator is an essential tool central to these activities. Process simulators are very powerful tools for modeling all or parts of a process. While they are excellent for general-purpose process modeling, it is the process engineer's responsibility to understand to what extent these tools can be applied, and how combining their application with more specialized tools might be appropriate. This choice is ultimately based on the business and technical objectives to be achieved.
