Description
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.

About Design of Process Skid
Design of Process Skid is part of the 3D-LABS Engineering series — a focused e-book library for engineers, students, and technical professionals. This title covers engineering fundamentals, industry practices, and applied problem-solving, with worked examples and industry-current best practices drawn from real engineering projects.
Written by practising 3D-LABS engineers and reviewed by senior specialists, Design of Process Skid is designed to move you from concept to competence quickly — not to be a comprehensive academic reference, but a working reference you actually use.
Who Design of Process Skid is for
Design of Process Skid is written for engineers, students, and technical professionals. If you are:
- An early-career engineer wanting to accelerate your practical knowledge in engineering.
- An experienced practitioner looking for a compact reference on current practices.
- A student preparing for engineering exams, interviews, or your first professional role.
- A manager or team lead wanting to level-set your team on engineering fundamentals.
Then Design of Process Skid will earn its price back in the first project or exam you apply it to.
