Struggling to Know the Common Practices When Creating a P&ID?

Understand the basic role of P&ID in a Project, basic data shown on a P&ID, its anatomy, and level of details based on project stage.
Expand your knowledge by going through the main operational and maintenance considerations in a P&ID.
Go even further and dive into plant safety and protection measures and see an example of a HAZOP / SIL assessment.

Starting from Scratch - No Previous P&ID Knowledge Required

  • Going through main P&ID anatomy, types and how to read a P&ID.
  • Understanding basic piping, valves and fitting symbols.
  • Diving into control and shutdown systems and analyzing their main components; instruments, system, and final element.
  • Figuring out the role of a P&ID within a project and how its level of details is affected by project phase.

P&ID Serves for a Smooth Plant Operation- Let's see How

  • Performance indication, alarms, and sampling.
  • Plant Isolation
  • Preparation for maintenance
  • Drainage

Process Safety and Plant Protection in a P&ID

  • Create an inherently safe system
  • Ensure proper placement of layers of protection as shutdown interlocks and PSVs
  • Evaluate protection layers against probable deviations using HAZOP and SIL assessment sessions.

What you shall learn

P&ID Structure

We shall understand P&ID anatomy and how a P&ID drawing looks like. In addition, we shall go through the different P&ID types such as legend, typical details, distribution and tie-in P&IDs.

P&ID Basic data

The data shown on a P&ID, such as piping fittings, instrument details, control and shutdown loop details, PSVs, tie-in points, and splitting the scope of each project stakeholder in the P&ID.

Project Workflow

The role of a P&ID within a project workflow, what it is based on, how it serves other disciplines, and the types of P&ID issues depending on project phase.

Equipment isolation

Installing proper isolation configuration for each equipment to ensure safe maintenance and avoid spillage. This shall be with various examples on different equipment.

Easy Maintenance

Providing all required connections needed for plant maintenance such as steam out, venting and drainage connections.

Drain and Relief Systems

Any plant has both drain and relief systems to serve the plant operation, maintenance and protection methods. The course shall explain how these systems work in detail.

Shutdown Protection

Using SIS system to protect the plant equipment and piping against process upsets and prevent hazardous situations.

Inherently Safe Plant

Learn how proper pressure and temperature are specified for plant components to ensure the system is inherently safe

PSV Installations

The common cases of using a pressure safety valve, and how it mitigates the hazard and protects the plant against different overpressure scenarios

HAZOP Study

HAZOP analysis is used to check the expected process deviations and how they are addressed. We shall go deep through a P&ID HAZOP analysis with examples.

SIL Assessment

SIL sessions are necessary to take decisions on the reliability of plant safeguards against severity and likelyhood of hazards. We shall check this with examples.
