These courses are designed for 'in-house' delivery to organisations (worldwide). |
Introduction
Amongst the first items of documentation that are circulated in plants amongst engineers and supervisors of all disciplines are that of diagrams known as Process Flow Diagrams (PFD) and Process Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID). Sometimes PFDs are called Piping or Pipework Flow Diagrams, but this probably understates the value of the diagram to the understanding of concepts of how the equipment operates together to enable the plant to work.
What are P&ID and PFDs? A P&ID is a detailed graphical representation of a process which has been drawn using standardised symbols that includes not only the hardware (pipes, valves and vessels etc) but also the instrumentation methodology. A PFD is diagrammatic representation of the chemical process which uses standardised symbols to represent the relationships between major equipment of the plant. The PFD does not show small details, or items of minor equipment such as the materials used for pipes or the sizes of the pipes for example.

Objectives
1) Identify symbols used on PFD diagrams
2) State the types of information that will be included on PFDs and the sort of information that would not normally be included on PFD.
3) Explain the PFDs for typical industrial examples
4) Draw simple PFDs for given industrial examples
5) Relate the PFD symbols used to the actual functions performed by the equipment represented
6) Identify incorrect positioning or redundant equipment shown on PFDs
7) Identify symbols used on P&ID diagrams
8) State the types of information that will be included on P&IDs and the sort of information that would not normally be included on P&IDs.
9) Explain the P&IDs for typical industrial examples
10) Draw simple P&IDs for given industrial examples
11) Relate the P&ID symbols used to the actual functions performed by the equipment represented
12) Identify incorrect positioning or redundant equipment shown on P&Ids
13) Trace process stream flow and control loop functions
and much more.
Who is the course for?
Maintenance Supervisors and technicians engaged in the repair of equipment and plant. Engineers who modify or “de-bottleneck” parts of the plant and carry out redesign.
