A chemical process engineer with total 6+ years of industry experience and is associated with Pyrogenesis since last three and half years. His working profile vary from equipment sizing and selection, to testing and results analysis for various projects, to commissioning for lab-scale and pilot-scale equipment, and also responsible for creation of process drawings i.e. P&IDs and PFDs.

Due to the nature of their business, designing P&IDs was one vital part of processes. Our client was facing challenges to streamline the workflow related to P&IDs and its components (valve/instrument/piping list). Thus delivering high quality results within the tight timelines was a matter of contention. The client was in continuous pursuit of a solution which could resolve their concerns and also meet their other objectives at the same time. Their Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) generally include a lot of data that needs to be processed into an integrated and intelligent report generation data.

The client has embraced Visio P&ID Process Designer because of its intelligent and built-in object-oriented database technology, report generation, improved drawing generation capabilities, document and revision management for enhanced productivity and efficiency. Our solution helped the client to create 'Control Logic Symbols' (valves & pumps) for standardization, also built-in-project setup enables our client to standardize workflow, templates (report & drawings) and project structures. Thus established effective change management and revision control in the entire workflow system. PyroGenesis has found that the man hours spent to generate drawings and reports were significantly reduced while design accuracy and quality was enhanced with Visio P&ID Process Designer.
