1. PURPOSE

It is the Process Engineer's responsibility to produce the first draft of Engineering
Flow Diagrams. The manner in which they are laid out will have an important
bearing on several key issues:

! Ease of understanding
! Ease of development
! Client/customer satisfaction
! Elimination of re-work (redrafting)

Experience has shown that EFD's commonly become too cramped as development
occurs through the life of a project. More thought and guidance given at the initial
drafting stage can substantially reduce this problem which is the purposes of this
guideline.



2. SCOPE

This Guideline covers the generation of the first draft of an Engineering Flow
Diagram.

4. GUIDELINE

4.1 Basic Layout of an EFD

The EFD's are based on PFD's, but allowing for multiple shells and spare
equipment/ Obtain a construction release set of EFD's for a similar process, but
do not copy them. This will give some indication to the amount of detail which
will eventually need to be included on the EFD's. If it is available obtain a copy of
the standard EFD frame and the EFD symbology sheets for the project. The
standard FW drawing size is A1 and the draft submitted to CAD should be done
on this size.

A very rough draft in pencil of the EFD's should be done on A4 paper to aid
overall planning. Arranging them in a logical order ensures that the lines are
leaving and entering the correct sides of the drawing (RHS to higher numbered
EFD's, LHS to lower numbered). A good layout at the start of the job will
eliminate excessive line crossing and unnecessary doglegs. In general, battery limit
lines will leave and enter the top or bottom of the drawing whichever is most
convenient. Also lines entering or leaving an EFD will have a connector box
showing which EFD it is coming from or going to, unless it is the previous or next
EFD in the sequence.

The main process lines should be weighted so that they are obvious at a glance.

Before submitting the A1 draft to CAD, comments should be obtained from a
number of other engineers.

Position equipment so that they represent their relative positions to one another.
For example pumps would need to be placed at the bottom of the drawing, heat
exchangers and overhead drums in the middle, and airfins at the top. Also include
physical representation of high points in lines and important connections ie.
chemical injection to be shown going into the top of a line.

Determine whether the control philosophy is complex or basic for all equipment to
allow for the correct allocation of space for future development.

The following "Rules of Thumb" should be used to determine how much
equipment can fit onto one EFD.

Either - 2 sets of pumps Plus 1 column
(4 in total)
Or 2 vessels

Or 4 heat exchanger shells

Or 2 air coolers



LRQA\PEG\GEN.01
Or - 1 fired heater with a separate EFD for the burner management
system.

Or - 1 process compressor Plus Associated KO pot

Or - 2 auxiliary compressors

Or - 1 column Plus 1 vessel and 1
exchanger

Or 2 set of pumps


4.2 Space for Further Development

To ensure that enough room is allowed for development on the EFD, the space
requirements per item of equipment are listed below, based on an A1 drawing.
The suggested dimensions allow for the equipment's associated items ie.
instruments, therefore do not fill all the space with just one symbol. Sizes of
equipment should reflect their relative size on plant where possible.

1. Simple pump 4"*4" clean service ie. no flushing oil

Complex pump 8"*8" with flushing oil, shutdown systems, filters,
relief valves, tracing, vents, fluid at its
autoignition temperature.

with turbine drive allow further 4"*8" underneath


2. Complex column 2 A1 Sheet sidestrippers and pumps to be put on a
separate sheet.

Allow 3" at the top and bottom of column for overheads lines and relief
valves etc.

Allow sufficient space below the bottom tray for level gauges and indicators,
ie. the column does not have to be drawn in proportion.


3. Simple column 16"*8" include 4"*4" for reboilers


4. Drums 8"*12" including boot

LRQA\PEG\GEN.01
5. Heat Exchanger 4"*6"/ for 3 exchangers in series
shell draw them as they are configured, ie. 2
stacked & 1 stand alone.

Kettle 4"*8"

Airfin 4"*6" allow space for future manifolding if multiple
airfins are required.


6. Fired heater A1 drawing


7. Process compressor A1 drawing


8. Packages Size dependent on complexity


Once the drawings are at a reasonable level of detail, refer to the standard checklist
(see Engineering Work Practice PEN/E04/02).


4.3 Standard Drawing Details

This section covers the suggested drawing details. In Attachment 1, the first 3
sheets show the standard drawing details including the additional guidance notes
(which are lettered) for the process engineer, which explain the purpose of certain
features, or points to be borne in mind when developing detail.

The next 3 sheets are the same details but with the guidance omitted. These
details with attendant notes are as would appear on the EFD.

These suggested details are to assist in providing a project wide standard.

The symbols which are of a standard size, ie. pumps and control sets, may be
photocopied from an A1 size symbology sheet. These can then be stuck onto the
drawing directly. However the vessels and columns are required at their relative
sizes; scaling the standard details would thus cause the associated instruments to
scale as well. It is therefore recommended that the vessels and columns be hand
drawn to the correct size with the relevant connections. Any standard symbol
used should state its cell reference number to allow CAD to identify it from their
databank.

4.4 Examples

Attachment 2 contains examples of EFDs at the Comment and Final Issue stages.
These indicate the difficulties that can arise if the level of development is not
adequately recognised at the outset.

Attachment 2 - EXAMPLES OF COMMENT AND FINAL ISSUE EFDS



EFD 1 : This EFD is a well laid out Comment Issue for a Hydrogen Plant
Desulphurisation Unit.

EFD 2 : EFD 1 at Construction Issue

EFD 3 : This EFD is the Comment Issue for a Hydrogen Plant BFW Treating Unit.
The layout is only just acceptable with the area around the dosing
sets looking cluttered.

EFD 4 : EFD 3 at Construction Issue, looking a little full in areas.

EFD 5 : This EFD is the Comment Issue for a Hydrogen Plant Steam Generation and
Shift Reaction unit. This EFD has too much equipment on it, with
little room for further development.

EFD 6 : EFD 5 at Construction Issue and is exceedingly full.
