 THE WORKSHOP THE PROGRAM
The process plant layout and piping design DAY ONE DAY THREE
course is a comprehensive, highly practical and
interactive two-day course. You will have an MODULE 1 MODULE 7
opportunity to learn and discuss the techniques
and procedures used in the design and Introduction to Process Plant Layout Fundamentals of Pipe
engineering of complex process plants. You will and Piping Design • Pipe dimensions
learn the fundamentals of plant layout, the • Plant layout fundamentals • Pipe data
equipment used, design principles and • Procedures and workflow • Pipe joining methods
procedures. You will also learn the fundamentals • Physical quantities, units, trigonometry • Pipe representation
of piping system components and the • Common abbreviations
specification and design of these components.
MODULE 2
Practical examples from actual projects will be Introduction to Chemical Processing MODULE 8
used extensively to illustrate the principles and Methods Piping System Components
drive home the point. You will also be provided • Unit operations and unit processes • Fittings - elbows, tees, reducers, end caps
with a high quality course manual that IDC is • Process flow diagrams (PFDs)
known for. This course manual will be useful for • Fitting makeup and dimensions
• Utilities • Flanges
many years after the course.
MODULE 3 • Valves
• Pipe racks
Equipment Used in Process Plants
• Pipe supports
• Process equipment - reactors, towers,
• Anchors, guides
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES Exchangers, vessels
• Mechanical equipment - pumps, MODULE 9
Compressors, turbines
Process plants, such as refineries and Pipe Routing
petrochemical plants, are complex facilities • Equipment drawings, nozzle specifications,
• Piping isometrics
consisting of equipment, piping systems, Vendor drawings
• Piping plans, sections, elevations
instruments, electrical systems, electronics, • Equipment foundations and supports
• 3D representation
computers and control systems. The design,
engineering and construction of process plants SUMMARY, OPEN FORUM & CLOSING
involves multidisciplinary team effort. Plant

layout and design of piping systems constitute a DAY TWO QUESTIONNAIRE
major part of the design and engineering effort.
The objective is to design safe and dependable MODULE 4
processing facilities in a cost effective manner.
The fact is that there are few formal training Plant Layout and Plot Plans
programs with a focus on plant layout and design • Plant layout specifications
of piping systems. Therefore, most of the • Codes
required skills are acquired while on the job, • Safety considerations
reducing productivity and efficiency. • Plot plans
This course will cover the fundamental principles • Equipment arrangement drawings
and concepts used in process plant layout and
MODULE 5
piping design. Upon completion of this course
the attendees will have a clear understanding of Process and Instrumentation Diagrams
the design and engineering principles used in (P&IDs)
plant layout and piping design. The outcome will • Instruments and instrument symbols
be a work force with the required skills and faster • Control valve manifolds
learning curves with minimal on the job training.
• Meter runs
This will increase productivity and shorten
engineering and construction schedules. The MODULE 6
process plants will get on stream quicker and
operate with increased safety and reliability,
