This course focuses on process safety design, including the creation of PFDs and P&IDs, equipment selection, and implementing protection layers. Students will learn inherent safety strategies like minimizing, substituting, moderating, and simplifying risks, with case studies to apply the concepts.

• Interpret and develop PFDs and P&IDs.
• Select equipment and protection layers for safety.
• Apply inherent safety strategies to minimize risks.
• Support process safety with appropriate documentation.
• Analyze process safety design through case studies.

• Introduction to PFD and P&ID
• General Rules for Drawing P&IDs
• P&ID Development Principles
• Equipment 1 (Piping and Pipeline, Manual Valves and Automatic Valves)
• Equipment 2 (Pumps and Compressors, Heat Exchangers)
• Protection Layers (Ignition Control, Instrumented Safety Systems, Pressure/Vacuum Relief Systems, Equipment Isolation/Blowdown)
• Documentation to Support Process Safety
• Inherent Safety Concept
• Minimize – An Inherently Safer Strategy
• Substitute – An Inherently Safer Strategy
• Moderate – An Inherently Safer Strategy
• Simplify – An Inherently Safer Strategy
• Case Study
