1. Safety: Industrial refineries need to be designed with safety as a top priority. This includes proper placement and design of equipment, effective ventilation, and secure storage areas.
2. Environmental Impact: Industrial refineries have a significant impact on the environment, so designers must consider ways to minimize this impact. This may include the use of emissions controls, waste treatment systems, and energy-efficient processes.
3. Efficiency: Refineries need to be designed to produce the maximum amount of product with the fewest resources. This involves careful equipment selection, process automation, and optimization of processes.
4. Maintenance: Industrial refineries are highly complex and require a lot of maintenance over time. Designers need to ensure that equipment is easily accessible and that proper maintenance procedures can be easily carried out.
5. Compliance: Refineries must comply with a variety of legal and regulatory standards. Designers must ensure that their designs meet these standards and that all required permits and certifications are obtained in advance.
