Description

Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams commonly referred to as P&ID’s are encountred nowadays throughout all process industries such as Oil & Gas, chemical, pharmaceutical or food industries.

These engineering drawings are used worldwide in design, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance of industrial plants.

They provide clear information on processes, equipment, control systems and how the plant should handle emergency situations.

As a potential actor in these industries, it is therefore vital that you have a thorough understanding of P&ID’s components and construction.

Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams don’t have to be a complicated ! It isn’t rocket science ! This course will make you a P&ID expert and you will know how to read, interpret and successfully understand :

  • all of those many lines

  • symbols

  • process control schemes

  • and safety instrumented functions you see in your plant drawings

The knowledge gained in this course will help you to understand ALL P&ID’s so that you can draw the correct information from them.

This will set you apart from your peers, whether you are an operator, engineer, or manager and will give you an edge over your competitors when seeking employment at one of these industrial facilities.

Moreover since Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams are used in the planning and risk assessment of tasks to identify hazards, process flows and isolation points, then by ensuring that these drawings are properly drawn and understood, you contribute to the safety of your facility, your fellow workers and yourself.

This training course starts by initiating you to basic blueprint reading (which is also used in electrical, hydraulic and mechanical fields of expertise), then moves on to familiarize you with simple to complex process flow features, such as :

  • instrument loops

  • advanced process control systems

  • safety instrumented functions

  • and alarm systems

Symbols are also discussed thoroughly with all the P&ID's standards, conventions and designation codes that apply to them according to the ISA symbology. These include :

  • valves (gate, globe, ball, butterfly...)

  • actuators (pneumatic, hydraulic, solenoid, single acting spring return, double acting...)

  • process equipment (pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, reactors...)

  • instrumentation (flow meters, temperature transmitters, pressure gauges...)

  • piping and fittings

  • lines

  • signals (pneumatic, hydraulic, electric...)

Included in the course are access to numerous downloadable resources, real industrial examples of P&ID’s and the keys to interpret them in high quality video lectures. You will be able to practice and become even more proficient with these bonus items that you will find throughout the course.

So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum of the course and we look forward to seeing you in the first section.

Hope to see you there

I was expecting more examples of P&IDs interpretations and explanations of different sections, processes and equipment involved.

The tutor doesn't employ various methods to stimulate attention and assimilation. He neither asks questions (rhetoric or not) nor admit some of the concepts may be difficult to grasp at first, which are known to stimulate motivation to learn. Moreover, the same voice, tone of speaking, background of pictures, absence of various real-world pictures, and many others (basically monotonic), make the content boring, even though it is very educational.

There were some PDF files missing and no way to make useful notes from those without investing a lot of time.

High quality presentation...although I would not use a cartoon character of a little girl in the presentation. Makes it feel like this course is less professional. Too many other options or just do not have one at all.

Very helpful course for those who are dealing with P&ID development and review with lots of examples.

good course and clear explanations.. but more technical and indepth teaching in Advanced process control and SIS, can be shortened. overall good learning experience

This course offers a wealth of lessons to learn and provides comprehensive content. However, it would have been even better if the sections on P&ID Examples were enriched with numerous examples to thoroughly engage and challenge learners. Nevertheless, overall, the course is excellent!

The content is so great, useful for my career but there are too many short videos and the english sub is not good .

It's a great introduction to understanding why someone should learn about P&IDs. The information provided will be of great value when reading our companies P&IDs.

Het gedeelte proces control is niet relevant in deze training. Er is een bestaande training voor proces control. Best te verwijderen uit deze P&ID training. Aparte training te voorzien voor de voorbeelden van control loops. Ondertiteling is meer verwarrend dan helpend door de slecht kwaliteit.

The course was too good for a beginner and you can also add block diagrams in process control for various control loops which makes better understanding.

I have been working with P&IDs for a very short time, this information has helped me understand the meaning and the structure behind the actual process.

Broken down really well. I feel it is the perfect amount of explanation, so as not to explain each topic unnecessarily, but also goes into enough depth to provide an adequate amount of understanding for the listener to progress to the next topic.
