How to Draw a Process Flow Diagram in ConceptDraw PRO

Process Flow diagrams are used in chemical and process engineering to show the flow of chemicals and the equipment involved in the process. When it comes to creating a process flow diagram, it's important to use software that is capable of describing a wide range of processes, using techniques and graphical notation that are easily recognized by engineering workers. An ideal drawing platform will utilize functions that can cope with the output of a high volume of engineering processes, that may change rapidly from development to implementation stages. ConceptDraw PRO, with the extended functionality of the Chemical and Process Engineering Diagrams solution, is the ideal medium for creating designs of this type. The Chemical and Process Engineering Diagrams solution complements this feature with a library of selected icons to represent various steps — all instantly recognizable and applicable to a wide user base. ConceptDraw PRO allows you to draw the Process Flow diagram easily using the set of special libraries.

How to Create a Plant Layout Design

A plant construction process begins from a plant layout stage - an engineering stage used to design, analyze and finally choose the suitable configurations for a manufacturing plant. Plant Layout issues are core to any enterprise and are challenged in all types of manufacturing process. The sufficiency of layout influences the efficiency of subsequent operations. It is an important background for efficient manufacturing and also has a great deal with many questions. Once the place of the plant has been determined, the next important task before the management of the plant is to plan appropriate layout for the enterprise. Plant layout is used to create the most effective physical arrangement of machinery and equipment, with the plant building in such a manner so as to make quickest and cheapest way from a raw material to the shipment of the completed product Making a plan that shows the location of industrial equipment involves many different elements that can be managed using Con

"An oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is processed and refined into more useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas. Oil refineries are typically large, sprawling industrial complexes with extensive piping running throughout, carrying streams of fluids between large chemical processing units. In many ways, oil refineries use much of the technology of, and can be thought of, as types of chemical plants. The crude oil feedstock has typically been processed by an oil production plant. There is usually an oil depot (tank farm) at or near an oil refinery for the storage of incoming crude oil feedstock as well as bulk liquid products.
An oil refinery is considered an essential part of the midstream side of the petroleum industry." [en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Oil_ refinery]
The process flow diagram (PFD) example "Crude oil distillation" was drawn using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Chemical and Process Engineering solution from the Chemical and Process Engineering area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
