PFDs & P&IDs
SCHEPRO-EN-P

Who should attend?

  • This course provides practical keys to read and use process diagrams.
Public :
  • Technical staff using process diagrams.

Level :Knowledge

Prerequisite :
  • Provide evidence of a professional experience of at least 1 month, related to the concerned field.
  • Know the main equipment (rotating, static, thermal, instrumentation).

Course Content

  • BLOCK DIAGRAM & PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM (PFD) - Duration : 0.5 Day

      • Splitting a process in blocks. Elaborating a block diagram.
      • Use of a PFD, added value compared to the block diagram. Type of information included in a PFD.
      • Symbols used for each element.
      • Importance of Utility Flow Diagrams (UFD). Complementarity with process flow diagrams.
  • PIPING & INSTRUMENTATION DIAGRAM (PID) - Duration : 1 Day

      • Purpose of PIDs: users from engineering phase to operation.
      • Process and utilities PIDs. Key elements indicated on PIDs. PID legend. Typical symbols.
      • Design and organization of a PID, level of detail. Notes, holds, comments.
      • Contents of a PID. Evolution according to design/operation phases.
      • Documents associated with a PID.
  • P&ID REVIEWS - Duration : 0.5 Day

      • Design reviews: focus on HSE and operability with HAZOP review.
      • Organization of the review, selection of attendees. Action plan. Validation. Reporting and follow-up process.

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • Use the symbols of a PID legend,
  • Read process diagrams.

Ways & Means

  • Use of a set of complex PIDs to understand process flow, instrumentation loops, equipment characteristics…
  • PID review with checklist/HAZOP initiation.

Learning assessment

  • Quiz.
