So we started our project, we carried out our plant simulation activities, and we modeled different cases using simulation software. Now, it’s time to wrap up all that we have modeled. This is an essential step in order to move forward in the project. Here comes the role of a Process Flow Diagram (PFD). A […]


Process control is essential in any plant to ensure that the operating parameters are within their acceptable limits. When we open a process flow diagram (PFD), we can see different control loops controlling various equipment in any plant. In all these various industries, process control schemes are considered, whether we are talking about oil and […]


Control Valve failure is a very famous issue while operating a process plant, whether this was in refineries, gas plants, petrochemicals, water treatment, or other chemical industries. This is because a control valve is an essential component that exists abundantly in any process plant. Its failure shall have negative consequences on the operability and safety […]


Suppose we have a pump that draws some fluid from a vessel. The pump flow is controlled on the discharge line and there is a minimum flow controller. So we need to determine the pump specifications to perform the required operation. In order to specify a pump correctly, we need to carry out several calculations. […]
