Case Study #4 P&ID of a Whisky Brewery
Let’s draw a P&ID for a basic unit:
- We’ll make a P&ID for a Distillation Unit, which, as you may know, is more complex:
- Distillation (Tray Column)
- Feed/Recycle Streams
- Reboiler
- Condenser
- Temperature, Pressure, Level Control
Strategy:
- Understand the process, and what we need to draw (and not)
- Get started with Margin and limits
- Unit & Equipment:
- Trayed Column
- Secondary units (reboiler, condenser, vessels, pumps, etc.)
- Streams (product, byproduct, utilities, etc.)
- Instrumentation (ignore for now)
- Instrument
- Control
- Review
