I'm a retired research chemist of 35 years. I found that I should have gone unto Ch.E because I was really interested in the process more than the chemistry.
Well done! As an Electrical Control Design Engineer, I think it's part of our duty to explain whether we use a transmitter, a transducer or something else, and to show how they connect to the control cabinet, the HMI or other indicators. We usually divide the project design among different departments. So it's great that you can give a complete overview of the process!
Ah yes, the good ol' "XZXHL" (or insert any other random assortment of the last 5 letters of the alphabet here...) To be honest with you, I think that when there are limit switches and things on valves things get a bit haywire, and it would be a lie if I told you I was totally clued-up on it. I don't want to mislead anybody. Even in doing something as basic as this introduction, there are so many iterations of how to show something as basic as an an interlock, that I'm a little sceptic about coming across as an authority on it. I'll keep this topic on the "to-do" list, but at this stage I'm not sure I could compile anything confidently! I will see whether I can find someone who can shed light on the topic...
this is one the best P&I Diagram explanation...i'm a LNG gas plant operator but still needs to study and further review to continue my knowledge of the P&I Diagram sheets.. thanks a lot for the video..sharing and caring..😊👍👍👍
I nearly wanted to cry watching this. I graduated in 2015. The oil dip did its part besides the limited application of Chemical Engineering and my visa status and forced constant travelling. I'm now a labourer and the mental pain is by far worse than the physical burden. I love engineering, and chemical plants, so much but I will be happy with a job that respects I have a brain to use. I'm indecisive Wether I should continue studying chemical engineering or start something else that's less enjoyable for me but offers higher employablity.
Heart-breaking man. I hope your passion carries you through it, but being dealt a bad hand is tough. Fingers crossed that you find love in what you do.
putting a drain on the bottom of the tank is tricky unless the tank is suspended (using legs or a skirt). So you might want to consider showing the drain coming in the side with a dip tube. If you really can put the drain on the bottom of the tank, then sometimes showing grade and the support method helps to clarify the situation since a skirt can create a flammable confined space hazard. Speaking of dip tubes, your feed into the tank, might also benefit from a dip tube (which will reduce static hazards), but be sure to provide a syphon break in the feed line to prevent accidental reverse flow. I think a pressure gauge on the tank might be a good idea too.
It’s sad that I’m graduating with an Instrumentation Associates in 4 weeks and this has been the most useful information I’ve watched/gathered compared to my lectures and professors.
Excellent video! As a new project engineer working with an interdisciplinary team to design and construct a new plant I need a working knowledge of all disciplines and your videos have been of great help.
