Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams for refinery usage
Engineers pay special attention to safe facilities operating in full compliance. To obtain it, they need to use knowledgeable and cost-saving solutions. That’s why we’ve helped deliver a visual part of a tool allowing users to create networks and diagrams depicting the arrangement of pipes and other objects connected to a flare to burn by-products of construction and chemical side.

Solution overview
Auto-completion
The solution supports the user in the process of creating
network diagrams. The autocomplete function gives tips on what elements to build the network with and how to route the piping. The snap to grid solution ensures the readability of the diagram. In the case of exchanging objects in the network, the system itself recommends the available options.
Mini menu
The canvas presents the entire system with conditioning
elements such as inlets and outlets. The available mini-menu makes it easier for users to create a network by quickly accessing the most frequently used objects. Furthermore, only the
possible extension options are shown to ensure the proper
functioning of the network, while the rest of the possibilities
are greyed out.
Warning detection
The visual system allows you to simulate the network to check for serious errors. For this purpose, the interface is equipped with error signaling with three severity levels: concern, warning, error. Thanks to this, it is possible to test failure scenarios and their potential consequences, e.g., disconnection of the
network in the event of an uncontrolled fire.
Digital Twin
Flows are an essential element of the simulation. The system
presents flows in an animated and static form. It is possible
to view the system from a high-level perspective, where vital objects are visible while insignificant ones are grayed out.
Nodes with signaling are shown as adornments.
Depicting the relationship between piping, process equipment, and control devices
Safe facilities operating in full compliance are a must for oil & gas industry companies. To ensure the best performance, engineers need to use cost-saving solutions. For simulations purposes, the visual tool allows users to create pipe and instrumentation diagrams.
They depict the arrangement of pipes and other components connected to a flare to burn by-products of construction and chemicals.
