Lesson 10. Symbols used for food plant design and layout

Process diagrams can be broken down into two major

categories: process flow diagrams (PFDs) and process and
instrument drawings (P&IDs), sometimes called piping and
instrumentation drawings. A flow diagram is a simple
illustration that uses process symbols to describe the primary
flow path through a unit. A process flow diagram provides a
quick snapshot of the operating unit. A flow diagram should
include all primary equipments and flows.
A technician can use process design document to trace the
primary flow of food materials through the unit. The flow
diagram is used for visitor information and new employee
training. A process and instrument drawing is more complex.
The P&ID includes a graphic representation of the equipment,
piping, and instrumentation. Modern process control can be
clearly inserted into the drawing to provide a process technician
with a complete picture of electronic and instrument systems.
Process operators can look at their process and see how the
engineering department has automated the unit. Pressure,
temperature, flow, and level control loops are all included on the
unit P&ID. Process technicians use P&IDs to identify all of the
equipment, instruments, and piping found in their units.
