Course Content
PROJECT DEFINITION
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
Definition of the different type of projects.
Planning, description of the different project steps.
Organization: task force or conventional.
Departments description and role: purchasing, cost control, planning, engineering, construction…
Relation between client and contractor: progress report, change order…
ENGINEERING DIAGRAMS (PID’s)
-
Duration : 2 Days
Process flow schemes: purpose, available information.
General rules for the PID’s conception:
PID’s importance during the contract.
Milestones: PID’s review…
Potential development, “clever PID’s”.
Study of the PID’s by splitting them in elementary parts (each part is made of one or several equipment): fractionation column, furnace, reactors, compressors…; piping; regulation, instrumentation will be studied in each part.
Safety elements: safety valves, valve action per air failure.
Utilities, start-up and shutdown piping: steam/condensate networks, hot oil, drain systems.
Other auxiliary piping: off-spec., start-up and shutdown piping.
Piping design as per the fluid inside: gas, subcooled liquid, boiling liquid…
Instrumentation: control valves, on-off valves, flow meters, indicators…
RELIEF SYSTEM DESIGN BASIS
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
Definition of risks.
Flare stack and flare main header and sub-headers design.
Safety valves design.
Emergency shut down diagram.
Depressurization.
PROJECT (treated all along the course)
Conception of a PID from a process flow scheme. Application of rules for sizing piping and pieces of equipment.
Learning Objectives
