What is this Course About?
Explore the details and structure of P&IDs, and gain practical knowledge of plant operation and maintenance in addition to the common safety practices.
Here, we are not just focusing on answering "how" questions. We are more concerned with answering the "why" questions. This course offers a valuable opportunity to expand your understanding of P&IDs and their importance in real-world applications.
Starting from reading and understanding P&IDs, we shall dive deeper into the reasons behind different guidelines and practices, providing valuable insights into their significance.
This course contains 3 courses:
Apply HAZOP, SIL & Process Safety Practices on P&ID Design
Process Plant monitoring, Isolation & Maintenance in a P&ID
Explore Basics, Read Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams P&ID
Course Overview
This course gives a clear understanding of essential topics related to Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs). Throughout this course, we delve into vital details that should be included in a P&ID, equipping you with the knowledge to interpret and analyze these crucial documents accurately.
We begin by exploring the common data shown for equipment, piping, instruments, control systems, shutdown systems, and pressure safety valves. In addition, we shall cover the anatomy and different types of P&IDs (e.g. legend, distribution and tie-in P&IDs), enabling you to comprehend various P&ID representations and apply them smoothly.
Operational and maintenance guidelines play a significant role in ensuring smooth process functioning. That's why we shall delve into isolation philosophies for equipment and maintenance requirements. You'll gain insights into the purpose of closed drain and open drain systems and understand the distinctions between them. Furthermore, we explore plant depressurization and blowdown requirements and their impact on the flare system.
The course emphasizes critical process safety requirements. We'll see the importance of specifying proper design pressures and temperatures for equipment and piping to ensure inherent plant safety. We'll also cover fail-safe positions for valves based on anticipated hazards and upset scenarios.
In situations where an inherently safe system cannot be achieved, we shall examine layers of protection for the plant, including operator intervention, prevention, and mitigation of hazards. Each layer is carefully considered when preparing P&IDs to enhance overall safety.
To assess the adequacy of protection measures, we explore Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) assessments, supported by practical examples that deepen your understanding of these fundamental risk assessment techniques.
Join us on this comprehensive P&ID course and gain a profound understanding of these topics, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to effectively analyze, interpret, and implement P&IDs in diverse industries.
