The P&ID (Process & Instrumentation Diagram) is an essential source of information in all phases of a plant’s lifecycle from engineering and construction, through operation and maintenance, to decommissioning. Intelligent P&IDs are graphical representations backed by a database containing all engineering and design data. This pairing of sophisticated Intelligent tools allows useful organization and timely retrieval of process and facility data, However, this important repository of information has not been adequately exploited using contemporary tools offered by the latest available software technology. Now, with qualified workforces, sophisticated, automated and interactive tools, and with experience in P&ID drafting and data input.
A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is a drawing in the process industry. A P&ID shows all piping, including the “physical sequence of branches, reducers, valves, equipment, instrumentation and control interlocks.” A P&ID is used to operate the process system, since it shows the piping of the process flow along with the installed equipment and instrumentation. P&IDs play a key role in maintaining and modifying the process they describe, because it is important to demonstrate the physical sequence of equipment and systems, including how these systems connect. In terms of processing facilities, a P&ID is a visual representation of key piping and instrument details, control and shutdown schemes, safety and regulatory requirements, and basic start-up and operational information.
