Introduction

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 involve a multidisciplinary team effort. Plant layout and design of piping systems constitute a major part of the design and engineering effort. The goal is to design safe and dependable processing facilities cost-effectively. Process Plant Layout covers the terminology and concepts needed for equipment layout within the process plant. This includes equipment placement, spacing, and orientation. It also includes pipe routing to key equipment nozzles considering operations and maintenance. The objective of this course is to 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.

Objective

Efficiency Improvement: Enhance the efficiency of fluid flow through the piping system to minimize energy consumption and operational costs.
Reliability Enhancement: Ensure the reliability and durability of process equipment to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
Safety Optimization: Implement safety measures to mitigate risks associated with handling hazardous materials and operating high-pressure systems.
Compliance with Standards: Ensure that all components of the piping system and process equipment comply with relevant industry standards and regulations.
Environmental Impact: Minimize the environmental impact of operations by optimizing processes and reducing emissions and waste.
Cost Reduction: Identify opportunities for cost reduction through improved design, material selection, and operational efficiency.
Capacity Expansion: Plan and implement expansions or modifications to increase the capacity of the piping system and process equipment to meet growing demand.
Quality Control: Implement quality control measures to maintain consistent product quality and performance.
Technology Integration: Integrate new technologies such as IoT, automation, or predictive maintenance to improve monitoring and control of the piping system and equipment.
Training and Development: Provide training programs to ensure that personnel are well-equipped to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot the piping system and process equipment effectively.

Audience

Managers, engineers, operators, supervisors, inspectors, equipment suppliers, or those who wish to be familiar with plant systems.
