      14.5.4 Combined Process and Piping Flowsheet or Diagram

      Some companies do not allow the use of this sheet in their work primarily because of the confidential nature of some of the process data. Where it is used, it presents a concise summary of the complete process and key mechanical data for assembly. This type of sheet requires more time for complete preparation, but like all engineering developments preliminary issues are made as information is available. Often the sheet is not complete until the piping and other detailed drawings are finished. This then is an excellent record of the process as well as a worksheet for training operators of the plant.

      14.5.6 Special Flowsheets or Diagrams

      From the basic process containing flowsheet, other engineering specialties develop their own details. For example, the instrument engineer often takes the requirements of the process and prepares a completely detailed flowsheet which defines every action of the instruments, control valves, switches, alarm horns, signal lights, etc. This is his/her detailed working tool.

      The electrical engineer likewise takes basic process and plant layout requirements and translates them into details for the entire electrical performance of the plant. This will include the electrical requirements of the instrumentation in many cases, but if not, they must be coordinated. O’Donnell [10] has described the engineering aspects of these special flowsheets.

      Plot Plans

      Experienced flowsheet layout personnel all emphasize the importance of breaking processes into systems and logical parts of systems such as reaction, compression, separating, finishing, refrigeration, storage, etc., for detailed drafting. This point cannot be overemphasized, since considerably more space is needed for final completion of all details than is usually visualized at first. The initial layout of the key equipment should be spread farther than looks good to the eye. In fact, it probably looks wasteful of drawing space.

      Later as process and sometimes service lines, valves, controls and miscellaneous small accessories are added this “extra” space will be needed to maintain an easily readable sheet. As this develops, attention should be given to the relative weights and styles of lines to aid in the readability of the sheets.

      Each phase of the process is best represented on individual
