Training

Reading & Understanding P&ID Drawings


Service Description

Reading and understanding P&ID drawings – understanding the system designers’ intent and operations. In this presentation and live in the “field” training we will explore the importance to Operations and Engineering of the Process and Instrumentation Drawings (P&ID drawings). One of the first drawings created during a design process of a Water and Wastewater Treatment Facility they form the basis of the systems that operate, provide control as well as how we can interact with our systems. In this presentation we will cover: • Define what a P&ID is; • Describe why they are important to the operation of your facility; • Give examples of when you might use a P&ID; • Use a Master sheet as a reference for identifying P&ID symbols and labels found in line tables, instrument; symbols and designations tables, and graphic symbols tables; • Identify the symbols for vessels, compressors, heat exchangers, valves, and pumps; • Interpret an example numbering system used for labeling equipment on P&ID; • Explain why instruments and control loops are important for the safe operation of a plant; • Identify the symbols for selected instruments • Describe how instruments in control loops are related and named on a P&ID • Identify piping and give specific information about a pipeline including material in the line, size, line number and weather or not the line is insulated or traced. • Identify pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic instrumentation signal lines. • Trace the flow of a process stream into a P&ID, through the pipes and equipment, and out of a P&ID. • Identify instruments that belong to the same control loop on a P&ID; • Describe how a process variable is measured and controlled by reading a P&ID for the process. In addition we will tour an actual Water Treatment Facility and interact with the drawings and update a P&ID drawing. This presentation is relevant to Operators, Control Specialists and Managers involved in the design and construction of a facility. Prerequisites: none.
