This is the bypass loop for the flow transmitter. So, whenever this symbol is used it indicates that from that point onward line number is different. A line break is the demarcation of the line number change. Now, this triangle with line indicates a line break. In piping, it can be a reducing tee as it is 6” to 4” concentric reduction. Don’t get confused with reducer symbol it is just an indication of line size change. Let’s move ahead, here you can see that the diesel line is divided into two strim. Normally ET is used for electric tracing and ST is used for steam tracing. It also gives information about whether the line is steam trace or electric trace. If there is H than hot insulation, C is for cold insulation, A for acoustic reduction, P for personal protection, F for fireproofing. Here Ultra-low sulfur diesel is used as flushing oil. The pump used in a heavier product such as crude, fuel oil required flushing oil to keep the pump seal clean. This is the simplest system with just one cone roof tank and two centrifugal pumps. This is a PFD of the flushing oil system that shows the entire system of pump seal flushing oil. How to Read the Process Flow Diagram (PFD) Let’s confirm this with the help of actual P&ID. Ok, now you know what P&ID is and types of information you’re going to get from the drawing. Support and structural details are also not included in p&id.Minimum straight lengths after instruments.Minimum and maximum distance from the equipment or instruments.Information required for design, construction, and operation such as.Piping components including their size, class and tag Number.All the equipment, including installed spares, and associated piping including drain and vent line.P&IDs are used to train operators and engineers before they start work in the plant. It should be updated when any physical change is made so that the unit will remain compliant with codes, standards, and specification, and can be operated safely under the defined process conditions. It is key documents for various reviews such as HAZOP, SIL and operability review.ĭuring Operation, you have to maintain P&ID in such a condition that it will show actual plant conditions at any time. P&ID is used to develop the piping layout and preparing bulk material take-off for piping, electrical, instrumentation and civil. It used to identify hazardous areas classification, preparing data sheets of equipment, valves, and instrument. Use of P&ID/PEFS during the EPC phaseĭuring the EPC phase, P&ID is used to develop the individual unit layout. Plot plant is developed considering various inputs from P&ID and physical site location. It is also used to develop EPC contract specifications. P&ID is used to derive the Project capital cost estimates. That means during pre-EPC, EPC and operation. It is used during the entire life-cycle of the plant. That is front-end engineering and design. It is one of the main deliverables of FEED. This means if some system is shown on single PFD, to show the same system on P&ID, it may require multiple P&ID sheets. P&ID is a graphical representation of the actual process plant using various symbols that represent actual equipment.
