1. INTRODUCTION
This Design Guide indicates the format and the basis to be used in the preparation of Piping and
Instrumentation Diagrams ( P&IDs). The basis provided in the document is to be followed, unless
clients comments or special process requirements dictate otherwise.
2. APPLICATION
This Design Guide is intended for use in basic, front-end projects. For detail engineering projects,
modifications or expansion of existing facilities, the philosophy followed by the licensor shall be
followed.
This guideline is to be used by process engineer during P&ID development.
3. GENERAL
The Design Guide must be read in conjunction with the following documents
4. TYPES OF P&IDs
A Piping and Instrumentation diagram is a schematic and symbolic representation that provides
detailed information of the piping and instrumentation as well as the special features.
This document is one of the most important documents and is the basis for detailed design and
engineering, construction and operation of the plant. The following types of P&ID are prepared for
any project
Process P&ID
Offsites and Utility Generation (O&U) P&ID
Utility distribution P&ID
The process P&ID defines the process equipment, piping, process control and instrumentation of
the plant. This is developed for basic engineering projects and obtained from the process licensor
for detailed engineering projects.
The Utility generation P&IDs define the equipment, piping, process control and instrumentation
for generation of the utilities required by the process plant. Typically these will include Water
Systems (Raw water, Cooling water, Service water, DM water etc), Air Systems (Instrument, Plant
air), Inert gas systems (Nitrogen, Fuel gas), Steam systems, Effluent collection and treatment.
Offsites P&ID defines the equipment, piping, process control and instrumentation for the storage
and transfer facilities for feed, products, intermediates etc.
The O&U P&IDs are generally developed by the detail engineering contractor based on the
requirements of the process plant.
This diagram shows the headers, subheaders, branches required for connectiong the utility system
from the supplier to the users within the plant. The layout of the diagram is based on the layout.
This P&ID is also referred to as a Utility Flow Diagram (UFD). This is developed by the Piping
group based on the layout and the line sizes are checked the process department.
The layout of the P&ID is very important. When too many equipment or information is shown in a
P&ID, the information can become unclear.
Each P&ID should not contain more than 4-6 pieces of equipment. The addition of notes,
instrument details, piping requirements during the course of engineering must be kept in mind while
laying out the drawing.
The engineer shall try, as far as possible, to maintain the relative elevation between equipment
especially while depicting gravity flows.
Equipment numbers and description shall be entered at the top of the drawing.
All notes shall be numbered sequentially and placed in the right hand side of the P&ID.

around, top and bottom tray should be indicated. The packed column must indicate the number
of packed sections and special internals like spray nozzles.
5. All nozzles on the equipment should be indicated including manhole/handholes, nozzles with
blind flanges. Nozzle size / rating to be shown only if different from connecting line size.
6. Notes on critical elevation should be added as required.

9. All valves required for operation and maintenance including process vents and drains, utility
connections should be indicated.
10. If seal loops are present, the height should be indicated.
11. All piping spec breaks (change in piping class or material of construction) should be indicated.
Generally the line number should be changed after the spec break unless the project philosophy
indicates otherwise.
12. Utility required for pump, agitator seals should be indicated in a separate P&ID that gives
details of the seal plans. However the process engineer can indicate the seal details and utilities
in the process P&ID itself if there is no space constraint.

2. The return line is tapped close to the user point for better controllability.
3. The control valve is sized for full pump flow and is FO type.
