Claribinu the Role ol theLead Process.Engineer
The LPEcan makeor break a project depending onhowwell he or she clarifies the project scope and
produces thorough PFDsand P IDsJohn Lagace LeadProcessEngineer.com
Fr any capital-intensive andlabor-intensive engineering and
construction (E C) project, thelead process engineer (LPE) plays
a pivotal role. To maximize the successof these complex projects, companiesthat hir e E C companies should beaware of the role that the E C process engineering team plays in termsof helping to execute these projects.In a nutshell, the LPE is responsiblefor developing the project scope imdmanaging the process team's costsand schedule,
When the LPE does this properly,the scope of the project is well-developed, the schedule is reality-based,and successful project execution cansave a lot of time and money for the client. Conversely, when the LPE is notwell-trained, or is forced to accept apoorly developed project scope and aninadequate or incomplete schedule forthe front-end activities, the project canfalter and decisions will be made late,when the resulting rework imposes apenalty on both project costs and schedule. This article discusses the basics of
getting a project star ted successfully.The LPE's first task is to understand the project's starting point sothat he or she can estimate the hoursthat will be needed, build a schedule,and get the right team assembled toexecute the job.
The questions listed below shouldbe answered early in a project to avoidhigher costs and delays. Answers tothese questions provide the buildingblocks required for appropriate devel-
opment of project scope. Typical questions are as follows: Which technology will be used? What standards and specifications
will be used? What is the expected operating life
of the facility? Can parts of he facility be reused (i f
the project is a revamp)? an the process be simplified? Are existing utilities and infrastruc
ture adequate to support the newproject?
Are exotic alloys needed, and if so,
can lower-cost alternatives be usedinstead? What are the long lead items? Who are the client contacts to an
swer questions, make decisions andissue approvals?
These questions should be pursuedas soon as the prqject gets underway,irrespective of when the engineeringteam joins the project. For instance, aclient can engage an E C company totake on a specific engineering projectat any point from the initial concept

to the detailed design phase. No matter when the E C company joins theproject, the team members shouldseek solid answers to the questionslisted above before making any commitments on proposed schedule andbudget.
The role of the LPEThe major responsibilities of the LPEin any E C project include: Determining and documenting the
process scope of the facility Developing a process schedule
Developing a cost estimate that isappropriate to the scope Determining manpower require
ments to execute the process activities according to the scheduleand budget
Managing assigned personnel to execute the scope of work

discipline leads involved in theprojectThe importance of planning andmaintaining schedule must be underscored - the LPE must make arealistic schedule and keep all participants on schedule. With so muchresponsibility, the LPE is often criticized by participants in other disciplines for being behin d schedule because those related disciplines relyon the LPE's work to begin their ownwork. f the LPE plans the job well,documents everything adequately
and executes according to the projectneeds, the negative comments won'tstick.

*Note:,The order f t h ~j ~ m y ~and you may add or delete iteJ;ns as o u ~ .'1,'hegoal is to diwelap a comprehensive checklist to guide your projects.
eveloping project hoursEach activity and deliverable in acomplex E C project takes time to accomplish. Factors that influence the
time required for each activity includethe work complexity, the prior workexperience of the team, the overallteam capabilities, and whetherthe deliverable requires new documentationor modification of existing ones.
Process engineers are notorious forinsisting that they cannot estimatetime for their creativity. This is notcorrect. A trained LPE can estimatethe time required for everything fromsimula tion modeling to P ID completion. The estimate may not be precise,but will provide the means to recon
cile changes and ask for additionaltime later, if required. The goal is todocument the preliminary assumptions and have the client and projectmanager accept your basis and yourproposed schedule and time estimate.
LPEs should use a reasonable,consistent basis for estimating thenumber of hours required per document and per activity (Discussion oftechniques for carrying out such an estimation is beyond the scope of this
article). Table 1 provides a list of activities that are commonly requiredfor complex E C projects.
Scheduling your projectYour company scheduler can sit down
. with you once you have assembledyour deliverable documents and havedeveloped reasonable hour estimatesand help you put together a schedulethat shows your activities linked tothose of other disciplines on the project. For maximum utility, have thescheduler put together the schedule intwo forms:1. Based on client dates, indicating
milestones that must be met. This isthe most aggressive schedule.
2. Based on the maximum-sized teamyou can reasonably expect on theproject. This is the achievable schedule.
The estimate developed using the actual team size defines whether themilestones can be met, or wheth er adjustments are required. If the schedule cannot be met, this is the time tofind out so that appropriate cqrrective measures can be taken. This caninclude adding team members, re-

ducing the scope, or relaxing certainmilestones.
PF s with H MBAs noted earlier, the PFD is a majordocument that is produced and managed by the LPE as part of any capital-intensive E C project, and itrepresents the first step in virtuallyall chemical process and petroleumrefinery projects.
Process engineers routinely com-municate complex ideas using illustrations. The PFD provides an easymeans to convey a complex process design to other people following the natural flow of feeds and raw materialsthrough the equipment and process.
There is no de facto standard forguiding the development of a PFD.Every E C company has an internalstandard of sorts, but it is always subject to a client's own wishes and standards. The discussion that follows isdistilled from 35 years of professionalexperience. Several useful referencesare also presented (although nonewere consulted, studied, paraphrasedor quoted during the development ofthis article).

eveloping the PFPFDs can be developed using paperand a pencil, or they can be developedusing a process simulator. All majorsimulators have PFD screens where
the simulation is pieced together in aPFD format. How a PFD is developedisn't critical, but using a simulatorcan save the engineering team a lotof time.
A PFD is used to quickly understand a process, so it makes sense tominimize the sheets required to define the process. As a first pass, try touse a single sheet to show the entireprocess. Fifteen to twenty equipmentitems can occupy a single sheet. How-

ever, a complex tower with furnace,,pump-arounds and a preheat andcooling train may be easier to understand if broken down onto. a fewsheets. Try it and see. There is nosingle answer.
I find it easy to use Microsoft Excelor Visio to develop a quick PFD. I dothis whe ther a simulation will be usedor not. t provides ,a useful templatefor piecing the process together.
Developing the H&MB is a criticalaspect of PFD development. Some engineers may argue that the H&MB isseparat e from the PFD, but I believethat a PFD without an H&MB is anincomplete document and oflittle utility for further process development.
The H&MB must enable the pro
cess engineer to design the equipmentand piping indicated. As such, it mustgo beyond the normal compositions,flows, temperatures and pressures,and provide useful information for ex-treme conditions that may be possible.To develop a H&MB, map out the possible scenarios to be considered, suchas the following: Normal case Startup case Shutdown case Startup run case End run case
Product A, B through cases Runaway caseA typical H&MB is shown on the PFD(Figure2). TheHMBtypicallyislocatedon the PFD or as a table following thePFD drawings.
These scenarios are required toidentify materials of construction,extreme design conditions for equipment, stress conditions for piping andsafety scenarios for PSV sizing. Fromthese cases, the worst-case coincidentconditions can be identified that drivethe design. Following the principles inthis
article will give youthe
knowledgerequired to quickly develop a PFD.
The workhors e P ID
The P&ID is a ubiquitous documentin all E&C projects, although the acronym is defined in several ways. Somedefine P&ID as the process and instrumentation diagram, others defineit as the piping and instrumentationdiagram, and the word drawing canbe substituted for diagram. At the end
of the day, the P&ID is a pivotal document for any E&C project.
There is ongoing debate overwhether a P&ID or a PFD is the bestdocument to use, and in general, the
particular phase ofthe
project . willdictate which is best. Both PFDs andP&IDs are required, each serving aparticular need at a parti cular time.
n general, a P&ID is more involvedthan a PFD and represents a moremature level of project development- therefore it will be more costly todevelop. A PFD, with its attendantheat and material balance (H&MB),provides the relevant details aboutprocess flows and compositions to support economic decisions made in theear ly front-end loading (FEL) phases.
The P&ID provides a summaty ofevery plant component in sequentialorder. t contains the information andreferences necessary to define every engineered piping item, equipment itemor specialty item on the P&ID drawing.Ref 2 provides an excellent summaryon how to develop P&IDs. Because it isso complete, this document has becomewidely used and is considered the goldstandard for P&ID development.
As shown in Table 2, the projectphases are designed to limit the capital commitment until a decision is
made to proceed with or to cancel aproject. The initial phases (Phases 1and 2, called FEL 1 and FEL 2 in thetable) are driven by process engineersbecause these are development stageswhere the question ''what if? is useful. n the first two phases, creativebrainstorming is used to get all of theideas out on the table.
.Jn Phase 3 (FEL 3), considerationof options is complete and the projectmust close in on a final solution andnail down the scope to minimize future rework. At this point, other disci
plines, such as piping, mechanical andinstrument and electrical have inputto the P&IDs to better define theirdiscipline scope of work. The LPE'srole must change from development ofscope to maintaining the integrity ofthe approved scope.
Each subsequent phase of an E&Cproject commits more capital, so com-prehensive information must be gathered as inexpensively as possible. Thisis the key to using P&IDs most effec-
8 CHEMICAL ENGINEERING WWW CHE COM MARCH 2011
tively. Once the process has been defined in the P&ID, it is time to fill inthe details required to make it workable in practice, and to identify allcomponents that must be purchased.
Unlike PFDs, the P&ID also hasa legal basis. Specifically, OSHA1910.119(e)(6) requires updating andrevalidation of process hazard analysis (PHA). Up-to-date P&IDs are are-quirement of a PHA.
P&IDs are continually upgraded,with more details added, as a projectproceeds. Each issue is worth somediscussion with key stakeholders. Theissue should always contain all of thedetails known and available, but eachissue should have at least a minimumlevel of detail for it to have value at
that point.As noted, Table 2 defines the P&IDrevision name at each project phase.The various issues are explainedbelow.
The first issue is usually calledIssue for Comment or Issue for In
formation. t generally reflects the information that is known to the processengineer, with only minimal input fromother disciplines. Input from other dis-ciplines will come later, after the clienthas approved the basic process conceptthat is illus trated by the P&IDs.
Once the client comments are incorporated, further detail is added toprovide all major information to theP&ID. These will be signed off by theclient and are typically called Issuedfor Approval PIDs .
This is the formal template for thefinal process push. Process hydraulics calculations are used to size lines,pumps and valves. Much more detai l isnow available, and this set ofP&IDs isready for process to issue to the otherdisciplines for detai led engineering tobegin. They are called Issue for De-
sign P&IDs (IFD).P&IDs developed for the IFD con-tain all ofthe information possible thatdoes not require detailed engineeringinput, such as actual t ie point details,and vendor-supplied equipment details because the equipment is definedbut not yet ordered. Piping runs arenot yet determined, so decisions related to pumps and control valves arenot final. Vendor information on mostequipment is not yet known either.

The P&IDs now are ready for process safety management (PSM) review. Some companies call these 'ssuefor Hazop. Updat ing the P&IDswith the PSM items will producethe Issue for Design 2 or Hazop setof P&IDs for use during detailedengineering.
