When answering this question, focus on specific examples from your past experience where you have successfully designed and optimized chemical processes. Highlight the methodologies and tools you used, such as process simulation software, and discuss any challenges you faced and how you overcame them. Mention any measurable outcomes, such as increased efficiency, reduced costs, or improved safety. For example:
"In my previous role at XYZ Chemicals, I was responsible for designing a new distillation process. I used Aspen HYSYS for simulation and optimization, which resulted in a 15% increase in yield and a 10% reduction in energy consumption. One of the challenges was dealing with the variability in feedstock composition, which I addressed by implementing a robust control strategy."
