The technical interview involves describing a very basic plant PFD and the interviewers pose various questions around reaction engineering, separations technology, heat and mass transfer. The process moves onto the interviewee having to decribe how the process could be optimised and what pitfalls there may be from a plant capital and operating cost perspective and also from a technical risk POV.

Nothing came up that seemed particularly difficult of unexpected. Typical rotating interview with 3 people (safety manager, maintenance manager and plant manager)
