1. Introduction to P & ID Also known as “PROCESS & INSTRUMENTATION DIAGRAM” Detailed graphical representation of a process (i.e piping, equipment, and instrumentation) necessary to design, construct and operate the facility. Common synonyms for P&IDs include Engineering Flow Diagram (EFD), Utility Flow Diagram (UFD) and Mechanical Flow Diagram (MFD).

2.1 Sensor SENSORS (Sensing Element) A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument. For example, a mercury thermometer converts the measured temperature into expansion and contraction of a liquid which can be read on a calibrated glass tube. A thermocouple converts temperature to an output voltage which can be read by a voltmeter. For accuracy, all sensors need to be calibrated against known standards.
2.1.1 Temperature Sensor Thermocouple Cheaper than RTD Durable React faster to changes in temperature Can measure a bigger range of temperatures
2.1.1 Temperature Sensor Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) Readings are more accurate and more repeatable Expensive
2.1.2 Flow Sensor Turbine Flow Meter Very accurate ( commonly used to prove other meters.) Not usable in dirty streams or with corrosive materials

Highly accurate Corrosion-resistant using Teflon liner and platinum electrodes Wide flow measuring ranges & no pressure drop Costly, relative to other flow meter types. Cannot be used for gas flow measurements
2.1.2 Flow Sensor Orifice Flow Meter Fabrication simple and inexpensive. No limitations on the materials of construction, line size and flow rate

Indicating Controller Controller is a device which monitors and affects the operational conditions of a given dynamical system. The operational conditions are typically referred to as output variables of the system which can be affected by adjusting certain input variables. Recording Controller Indicating Controller

3. Instrumentation Symbology Instruments that are functioned in Distributed Control System (DCS) - A distributed control system (DCS) refers to a control system usually of a manufacturing system, process or any kind of dynamic system, in which the controller elements are not central in location (like the brain) but are distributed throughout the system with each component sub-system controlled by one or more controllers. The entire system of controllers is connected by networks for communication and monitoring.

Various type of process control strategies Feedback Control Feedforward Control Ratio Control Cascade Control Split Range Control
Feedback Control One of the simplest process control schemes. A feedback loop measures a process variable and sends the measurement to a controller for comparison to set point. If the process variable is not at set point, control action is taken to return the process variable to set point. Advantage: corrective action occurs as soon the CV deviates from setpoint. Disadvantage: not provide predictive control action to compensate for the effects of known or measurable disturbance Parameter being measured: Controlled Variable ( level of the water in the boiler)
Parameter being measured: disturbance variable (steam flow rate) Feedforward Control Basic concept: to measure important disturbance variables and take corrective action before they upset the process. Parameter being measured: disturbance variable (steam flow rate)
Feedforward Control (cont.) Feedforward control is normally used in combination with feedback controller. Controller with summing functions are used in these combined systems to sum up the input from both the feedforward loop and the feedback loop, and send a unified signal to the final control element. Feedforward plus feedback controller
Ratio Control Ratio control is used to ensure that two or more flows are kept at the same ratio even if the flows are changing. FIC FF FT FT Water Acid 2 part of water 1 part of acid
Cascade control Cascade Control uses the output of the primary controller (master) to manipulate the set point of the secondary controller (slave) as if it were the final control element. Used when the disturbances are associated with manipulated variable.
Split Range Control Output of a controller is split to two or more control valves. The diagram shows pH adjustment; part of waste water treatment process. The process shall be maintained at pH 6. When the process liquid states below pH 6, CV-102 will be opened to dosing NaOH to the tank TK-100. When the process liquid states above pH 6, CV-101 will be operated to dosing HCl.
