Plant Design
The objective of Plant Design is to define the equipment, piping, instrumentation and
all process requirements needed to build and operate a process plant.
• Plant design normally starts with a process scheme
• Process Requirements (chemical and petrochemical applications ) - Plant Capacity, in
MTPY (metric tons per year) , Product specification in terms of purity or maximum
content of certain impurities
• Process Design –
1. A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagrammatic representation of a process
using symbols to represent the various components (equipment, lines, and control
instrumentation) that make up the unit. Only the main components are shown.
2. Piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) show how industrial process
equipment is interconnected by a system of pipelines. P&ID schematics also show
the instruments and valves that monitor and control the flow of materials through
the pipelines.
This document will be the basis for developing the piping drawings and for
specifying the instrumentation and control systems. It is a rather detailed
document and for this reason, each P&ID covers only a small part of the process.
So, a typical petrochemical unit may have 20 to 30 P&IDs, while larger units may
well have 60 to 100.
Applications
Process Plants built as engineering & construction
(E&C) projects require complex piping.
chemical plants
Biotech plants
Brewery
Crude oil refineries
Food processing
Fertilizer plants
Oil & Gas
Nuclear Power plants
Pharmaceutical
Pulp Paper mills
Water Treatment plants

• manual switches
• equipment rating or capacity
• pressure temperature and flow data
• elbow, tees and similar standard fittings
• extensive explanatory notes
Classification
• Legends and Symbol Diagrams/Standard Details
• Process P&ID - Process P&ID’s define on-plot process unit design, as well as off-plot
tankage and shipping systems
• Utility Plant P&ID - Utility Plant P&ID's define utility units such as cooling towers, air
compressors, boilers, unit drain collection systems, fire water systems, and water
treatment plants.
• Utility Distribution P&ID - Show the distribution of utilities within a given process.
Valving and instrumentation on piping are shown for main headers up to and
including branch root valves.
• Interconnecting (Rack) P&ID –They are the connecting link between individual
process, utility plant, and utility distribution P&ID's. They are usually prepared for the
offsite pipe racks and link the various process and utility plants.
• Vendor P&ID - They are prepared for systems which support major equipment
packages.
•
P&ID Format
P&ID's are to be prepared with the following format and organization:
• All P&ID drafting shall be by Computer Aided Drafting (CAD), using P&ID software
• P&ID's shall follow the format of the Legends and Symbols and current project Standard
Drawings.
• The P&ID Coordinator for the project will identify and assign numbers and titles to all
P&ID's.
P&ID's include;
o Water Systems, Cooling Water, Utility Water, Raw Water, Fire Water
o Steam, Condensate, Boiler Blowdown, and Boiler Feed Water
o Air, Nitrogen, Natural Gas, Fuel Gas, etc.
o Chemicals and Additives
o Waste Water, Sewer, Effluent
o Relief System
