COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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 delegates 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
delegates will have a clear understanding of the design and engineering
principles used in plant layout and piping design.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

• 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
• Piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs)
• Piping design and engineering principles
• Terminology, symbols and abbreviations used in piping design
• Piping materials
• Piping specifications and piping codes
• Components of piping systems - fittings, flanges and valves
• Piping isometrics and bill of materials

SCOPE OF PIPING ENGINEERING:

Process & Petroleum Industry
