TIChE: PFD-P&ID and Basic Design of Process Plants ( 2 Days)

Capable engineers must be able to develop Process Flow Diagrams (PFD), Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID) or Engineering Flow Diagrams (EFD), piping engineering specifications (PES) correctly to ensure safe and efficient plant design.

Unfortunately, there is nearly no training course that teaches the essential skills of developing these documents and doing basic design of process plants correctly, so many engineers just try to copy the concepts from existing P&IDs and PES without truly understanding why they were developed that way. Developing these documents right the first time is a basic, yet very important skill that all engineers should have. This is the course that all plant engineers (chemical & mechanical) should take if they want to minimize mistakes and subsequent problems in their plant design, construction, and operation.

Target Group: All disciplines of engineers and any technical people who have to develop PFD-P&IDs and basic design of process plants.
