Abstract
Information system for process development. An essential requirement for successful process development is the availability of relevant specialist information. Structuring the necessary activities by the techniques of systems engineering during the course of process development can provide detailed knowledge of the information required. However, comparison of available supply and demand shows that an essential part of the information, i.e. the solutions of unit operations and the accompanying equipment, have not hitherto been collected in systematic information systems. There fore principles are developed for the creation of information systems for process development and are demonstrated by the example of a „solution catalogue”︁ for filter equipments for the solid/fluid separation.
