P&IDs - Equipment
Keep in mind the development of the P&IDs
is really developing the process
The way it will start-up / shut-down and
normally operate

P&IDs - Control
The Flow that occurs in a pipe is a function of
the Pressure Drop.
Valves add or subtract from the natural
pressure drop of the pipe.
Valves change the pressure drop to give us
the flow rate we want
P&IDs
Control (Globe) Valves can have just about
any pressure drop and flow combination

Temperature
Usually you increase the flow or pressure of
one stream. The effect of that change is to
cause another streams temperature to
change.
Level
To Decrease the Level of a Tank
allow material to be removed (at a faster
rate)
Tanks and Pumps
Always Provide a way of preventing your
pumps from running dry
Always Provide a way of preventing your
pumps from being dead headed
Recirc the pump discharge to the tank with a
minimum flow bypass
Controls
Failure Position of Valves
Most of the time its safer to bottle up the
process and prevent failure from
propagating downstream by making
control valves fail closed
