One of the core business of chemical engineering is plant design. However many students of chemical engineering finish their studies without knowing what a chemical process engineer does in plant design. This time you will have the opportunity to know how is the work of a chemical process engineer in plant design. I start...

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...

During the initial phase of a project, you will develop or be involved with at least three documents; process flow diagram (PFD), piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) and Plant Layout. Process Flow Diagram is a deliverable developed by the chemical process engineer. It is the representation of heat and material balance in a drawing....

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...
