PFD shows all process engineering information
- A PFD contains the bulk of the Chem. Eng. data necessary for the design of a chemical process.
- Often PFD is drawn on large paper – certain information in accompanying tables
- A typical commercial PFD will contain the following information:
- All major pieces of equipment in the process will be represented along with a descriptive name and number.
- All process flow streams will be shown and identified with a number.
- A description of the process conditions and chemical composition of each stream will be included.
- All utility streams supplied to major equipment that provides a process function will be shown.
- Basic control loops will be shown.
- All major pieces of equipment in the process will be represented along with a descriptive name and number.
- Basic information provided by a PFD:
- – Process Topology
- – Stream Information
- – Equipment Information
