    The document discusses the importance of plant layout in determining construction and manufacturing costs, as each plant site is unique. Proper layout considers factors like new site development, products, process control, operations, utilities, buildings, safety, waste disposal, equipment, space, and future expansion. Developing elementary layouts shows fundamental equipment relationships, while considering material flow, unit operations, storage, and expansion yields a primary layout. Scale drawings and three-dimensional models are useful tools to accurately determine equipment locations and identify any errors in the proposed layout.

    PLANT LAYOUT

    After the process flow diagrams are completed and before detailed piping structural and
    electrical design can begin, the layout of the process units in a plant and the equipment
    within these process units must be planned. This layout can play an important part in
    determining construction and manufacturing costs and thus must be planned carefully
    with attention being given to future problems that may arise. Since each plant differs in
    many ways and no tow plant site is exactly alike, there is no one ideal plant layout.
    However, proper layout in each case will include arrangement of processing areas,
    storage areas, and handling areas in efficient coordination and with regard to such factors
    as:

    New site development or addition to previously developed site

    Type and quantity of products to be produced

    Type of process and product control

    Operational convenience and accessibility

    Economic distribution of utilities and services

    Type of buildings and building code requirements

    Health and safety considerations

    Waster disposal requirements

    Auxiliary equipment

    Space available and space required

    Roads and railroads

    Possible future expansion

    Preparation of the layout


    Scale drawings, complete with elevation indications can be used for determining the best
    location for equipment and facilities. Elementary layouts are developed first. These
    shows the fundamental relationships between storage space and operating equipment.

    The next step required consideration of the safe operational sequence and gives a primary
    layout based on the flow of materials, unit operations, storage and future expansion. By
    analyzing all the factors that are involved in the plant layout, a detailed recommendation
    can be presented and drawing elevations, including isometric drawing of the piping
    systems, can be prepared.
    Templates or small constructed to a selected scale, are useful for making rapid and
    accurate layouts and three dimensional models are often made. The use of such models
    for making certain a proposed layout is correct has found increasing favor in recent years.
    Errors in a plant layout are easily located when three dimensional models are used, since
    the operation and construction engineers can immediately see errors which might have
    escaped notice on two dimensional templates or blue prints.
