About:

Welcome to smartprocessdesign.com! A handy source for advice on process design, chemical and mechanical engineering, business tasks, cost analysis, and more! I write in a friendly “buddy in the office” style about real world problems and try to give useful resources, tricks and tools to help you power through problems at work and in life. If this is your first visit, I recommend reading the first post.

Printing Articles and Viewing Comments:

Click on the title of any individual post to jump to it’s unique page. From there, you can view comments. There is a “print this page” button so you can view the article in a printer-friendly format.

Try https://smartprocessdesign.com/?mobile and /?nomobile to switch to and from a mobile-friendly, iPhone-friendly version.

If you look along the sidebar, there are multiple ways to search for through old posts: google search, by category, and a “simple search” that returns just a list of posts to your query.

Tip: The google search may not appear if you have an adblock plug-in for your web browser.

Subscribers & Comment Policy:

You can use the subscription controls on the right side of the site to log-in as a unique user for making comments, and to opt-in to weekly email updates if you like.  If you prefer, don’t log in. You can still make anonymous comments.

I reserve the right to delete spam, rude, illegal, or otherwise undesirable comments at any time. Keep things civil and helpful. However, just because a comment is left in does not mean that I agree with it.

Also, be aware that this blog has some automatic protection to block incoming spam. If you feel your comment is being unfairly blocked, let me know.

Updates:

I intend to make very minor corrections to links, spelling/grammar, etc. to posts as I see them.

If I make any large correction I will mention it in the post, or add a new post.

This About page will be updated as required.

I have to assume that yourself, or another person in your team of appropriately qualified professionals, will be on hand to validate things and implement them properly. Don’t take chances. And remember to have your work checked by peers.
