Process Engineering
Engineering Solutions for Creating PF and P&I Diagrams
Process engineering deals with the production and conversion of a wide array of materials, including both solids as well as liquids and even gases. The application fields can vary widely, with examples that include grain processing, paper production, metal extraction from ores and much more. No matter what materials you manufacture or process, EPLAN supports your engineering by creating process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and optimising and integrating your engineering processes.
Necessary Foundation for Efficient Engineering Processes
What is true for all engineering disciplines also holds for process engineering: building a basis for your engineering by complying with codes and standards and high-quality device data means that you create the necessary foundation for efficient processes and workflows.
Important Standards for Process Engineering
The ISO 10628 and ISA 5.x standards regulate the creation of schematics in process engineering. System structuring can also be carried out according to the IEC 81346 standard to enable interdisciplinary engineering. Finally, IEC 61355 regulates the type of documentation for more clarity.
High-Quality Device Data for Your Projects
Using the EPLAN Data Portal provides you access to high-quality device and component data from a continually growing pool of manufacturers. This way you get all the necessary device data for process engineering from one source and can easily integrate it into your projects via drag-and-drop.
Focus on Interdisciplinary Design
Process engineering data is the central information source for machine and plant system engineering and must be seamlessly transferred to fluid power and electrical engineering. This makes it all the more important to optimise your processes based on integrated engineering data. EPLAN solutions support you in this.
