In order to adequately explain the technology of a chemical process a Block Flow Diagram (BFD) or simplified Process Flow Diagram (PFD) must be prepared. Ideally the BFD/PFD will fit on a single sheet of paper and clearly outline the “flow” of the chemical throughout the process. For a closed-loop process such as an ammonia […]
