Tutorial1 (Withanswers)

This document provides an overview of Tutorial 1 objectives which are to develop the ability to design conceptual plant layouts incorporating utilities and decide conceptual designs using basic flow diagrams, process flow diagrams, and piping and instrumentation diagrams. It includes problems asking about common process design diagrams and features found on them. One problem asks students to draw a section of a piping and instrumentation diagram for a vessel and pumps. The tutorial covers key concepts in introductory process design and plant engineering.

Problem 1.1
What are the three principal types of diagrams used by
process engineers to describe the flow of chemicals in
a process? On which of these diagrams would you
expect to see the following items?
The temperature and pressure of a process stream
An overview of a multiple unit process
A major control loop
A pressure indicator
A pressure-relief valve

a process? On which of these diagrams would you
expect to see the following items?
The temperature and pressure of a process stream
(PFD)
An overview of a multiple unit process (BFD)
A major control loop (PFD or P&ID)
A pressure indicator (P&ID)
A pressure-relief valve (P&ID)
Problem 1.10
During a retrofit of an existing process, a vessel used to
supply the feed pump to a batch reactor has been replaced
because of excessive corrosion. The vessel is essential
identical to the original one, except it is now grounded
differently to reduce the corrosion. If function of the vessel
(namely, to supply liquid to a pump) has not changed,
answer the following questions:
A should the new vessel have a new equipment number, or
should the old vessel number be used again? Explain your
answer.
On which diagram or diagram (BFD, PFD, or P&ID) should
the change in the grounding setup be noted?

following questions:
A should the new vessel have a new equipment number, or should the old
vessel number be used again? Explain your answer.
A new vessel number need not be used, but it would be good practice to add
a letter to donate a new vessel, e.g. V-203 V-203N. This will enable an
engineer to locate the new process vessel sheet and vendor information.
On which diagram or diagram (BFD, PFD, or P&ID) should the change in
the grounding setup be noted?
P&ID definitely
PFD change/add the identifying letter.
Problem 1.11
Draw a section of P&ID diagram for a vessel receiving a process liquid through an insulated 4-in
schedule-40 pipe. The purpose of the vessel is to store approximately 5 minutes of liquid volume
and to provide capacity for a feed pump connected to the bottom of the pump using a 6-in
schedule-40 pipe. The diagram should include the following features:
The vessel is numbered V-1402 and the pump(s) are P-1407 A/B
The discharge side of the pump is made of 4-in schedule-40 carbon steel pipe and all pipe is
insulated.
A control valve is located in the discharge line of the pump, and a double block and bleed
arrangement is used (see Problem 1.15 for more information).
Both pumps and vessel have isolation (gate) valves.
The pumps should be equipped with drain lines that discharge to a chemical sewer.
The vessel is equipped with local pressure and temperature indicators.
The vessel has a pressure-relief valve set to 50 psig that discharges to a flare system.
The tank has a drain valve and a sampling valve, both of which are connected to the tank through
separate 2-in schedule-40 CS lines.
The tank level is used to control the flow of liquid out of the tank by adjusting the setting of the
control valve on the discharge side of the pump. The instrumentation is similar to that shown for
V104 in Figure 1.7
