This Design Of Process Skid eBook from 3D-LABS is written for engineers and students who want a clear, practical reference they can apply immediately.
Design of Process Skid covers the complete engineering design of process equipment skids — from PFD and P&ID development through equipment layout, piping design, structural frame design, electrical and instrumentation installation, and pre-FAT commissioning. Written for process engineers, piping engineers, and project engineers responsible for skid package engineering.
What process skid design phases are covered?
Six design phases: (1) Process design — heat and material balance, equipment sizing (vessels, HX, pumps), P&ID per ISO 10628-2:2012 and ISA 5.1-2009; (2) Mechanical — equipment datasheets, nozzle loads per ASME B31.3; (3) Structural — AISC 360/IS 800 frame design, anchor bolts per ACI 318; (4) Piping — isometric design, stress analysis, support design; (5) Electrical and instrumentation — MCC sizing, cable tray routing, instrument loop diagrams; (6) Pre-FAT commissioning checklist including hydrostatic test, instrument calibration, and functional test.
What P&ID and equipment specification standards are used?
P&ID per ISO 10628-2:2012 (process symbols) and ISA 5.1-2009 (instrument symbols). Equipment datasheet format per ISA SP-20 for instruments. Equipment list includes: tag number, description, service, design pressure and temperature, material, insulation class, operating weight and test weight. Nozzle schedule: tag, service, nominal size (DN), ASME B16.5 class rating, orientation (degrees from skid north), elevation from baseplate, and reinforcement requirement.
What electrical and instrumentation design content is covered?
MCC short circuit withstand per IEC 61439-2:2011, motor feeder cable sizing per IS 694:2010 (PVC insulated cables), and SIL assessment per IEC 61511 for process protection functions. Instrument loop: 24V DC instrument power, 4-20 mA signal wiring with IS (intrinsic safety) barriers for Zone 1 hazardous areas per IEC 60079-11:2011. Cable tray sizing per IEC 61537.
