Engineering Training
Welcome to this presentation.
It is part of a suite of Engineering training modules.
It shows the activities and deliverables of the Plant Layout
discipline.
Comments are most welcome (herve.baron@gmail.com),
which I will incorporate for the benefit of all.

Plant layout
What has to be considered in
the layout of a plant?

Layout/principles
The wind rose shows the frequency of winds blowing from particular directions.
2015 Herv Baron
The length of each "spoke" around the circle is related to the frequency that the wind blows from a
particular direction per unit time, emanating from zero at the center to increasing frequencies at
the outer circles.
Plant layout
HERVE
BARON
The first step of Plant layout is to divide
the Plant area into separate blocks and
units.
Why is this done? How?

Minimum distances between Process Units
are determined according to GE GAP
2.5.2/2A
Classify Units in terms of Fire and
Explosion Hazard into 3 categories:
Moderate Hazard (MH)
Intermediate Hazard (IH)
High Hazard (HH)
Apply the following minimum distances
between units of various hazard category:

The second step of Plant layout is to
locate Equipment within each unit.

3D model review
First model review:
Scope: finalize the Plot Plan
Content: Equipment + 30% of piping is modelled, i.e. all ines on PFDs
Outcome: after incorporation of COMPANYs comments, the Plot plan is released as the
base for the design (IFD).
Aspects reviewed:
Unit location, equipment location, main access and escape routes to facilities, major
piping routes indicated on PFDs, arrangement around LLI, location of main manifolds,
space around equipment for maintenance, platforms for main operation access
