Workshop on Piping Design Engineering
Process plants, such as refineries and petrochemical plants, are complex facilities consisting of equipment, piping systems, instruments, electrical systems, electronics, computers, and control systems.
The design, engineering and construction of process plants involves a multidisciplinary team effort. Plant layout and design of piping systems constitutes a major part of the design and engineering effort. The goal is to design safe and dependable processing facilities in a cost effective manner. The fact is that there are very few formal training programs that focus on design and engineering of process plants and piping systems. Therefore, most of the required skills are acquired while on the job, reducing productivity and efficiency.
The objective of this course is to provide the participants the basic knowledge and skills in this discipline to facilitate faster learning curves while on the job.
This course will cover the fundamental principles and concepts used in process plant layout and piping design. Upon completion of this course the participant will have a clear understanding of the design and engineering principles used in plant layout and piping design.
Topics to be Covered in Workshop
- Plant layout fundamentals and work flow procedures
- Terminology and symbols used in plant layout
- Plot plans, elevations and 3-D models
- Fundamental principles of chemical process technology
- Process flow diagrams (PFDs)
- Equipment used in process plants
- Instrument symbols and abbreviations
