Some of the most basic skill for every chemical process engineer is the development of block flow diagram (BFD), Process Flow Diagram (PFD) and Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID). Although the draft can be done manually, CAD software is used for drawing and issue of engineering drawings. I learned to use Autocad during my...

Pressure monitoring and control is very important in plant design and operation. This variable influences reactions, fluid flow, separation process, fluid properties and so on. Based on that, let’s see some issues that chemical process engineers must be aware of during the piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) development. PS. If you have any issue...

Let’s talk about process engineering drawings: Block Flow Diagram (BFD), Process Flow Diagram (PFD) and Piping/Process and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID). Block Flow Diagram BFD is used in the early stage of a project. It can be drawn with boxes and there is no need for details. The main purpose of this drawing is to...
