Transformation Maps

A Transformation Map is used to graphically portray the network of chemical and/or physical transformations that convert raw materials into products within a process task.

It usually includes both desired and undesired transformations, to aid the identification of branch points within the process that can be investigated using other tools (e.g. Driving Force Analysis) to identify operating strategies favouring the desired transformations.

Transformation Maps:

  • Aid communication in multidisciplinary teams
  • Provide a model of the process for comparison with current understanding
  • Help to identify gaps in knowledge, e.g. understanding of mechanisms
  • For simple tasks, can be used to identify promising operating strategies
