Plant Layout and Piping Arrangement in Industrial Plants – E-Learning Course

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Interpret process diagrams such as PFD, P&ID, and BFD in industrial projects
• Apply piping design criteria based on technical documentation and project requirements
• Organize equipment layout and placement within industrial plants
• Define pipe routing arrangements considering interferences, access, operation, and safety
• Use technical symbols in layout drawings and piping diagrams
• Evaluate minimum spacing and operating conditions for specific equipment
• Develop piping isometric drawings according to drafting and dimensioning rules
• Understand the use of 3D modelling tools for piping systems
• Identify practical recommendations for piping connected to vessels, pumps, and compressors
• Apply technical criteria through practical exercises, case studies, and assimilation tests

This course is intended for:

• Graduates or soon-to-be graduates entering piping design and plant layout activities
• Designers involved in industrial plant arrangements and piping systems
• Freelancers supporting engineering, drafting, or layout development work
• Technicians involved in manufacturing, maintenance, safety, quality, or plant operations
• Engineers involved in the calculation, design, selection, manufacturing, safety, quality, and maintenance of systems and equipment in industrial processes

Prerequisite

Previous knowledge of plant layout or piping arrangement is not required to attend this course.

• Intermediate

The course follows a self-paced, hands-on methodology focused on practical application of plant layout and piping arrangement criteria. The learning approach combines technical explanations, study material, design exercises, case studies, assimilation tests, drawing interpretation, drafting activities, and instructor support through the Virtual Campus consultation forum.
