PFD to Excel.
Upload a process flow diagram, PFD and extract every stream into a structured spreadsheet. Stream tag, source equipment, destination equipment, mass flow, temperature, pressure, density, vapor fraction, heat duty, and composition all read into the columns process engineers use to populate heat and material balances.
What a process flow diagram carries.
A process flow diagram, PFD is the engineering document that shows the major equipment and stream paths of a process, with stream conditions tabulated at each point. Mass flow, temperature, pressure, density, vapor fraction, composition by component, and heat duty. PFDs sit between block flow diagrams, which show only equipment groups and piping and instrumentation diagrams, which show every line, instrument, and valve. The PFD is the working document of the process engineer through FEED and detailed engineering, and the stream summary it carries is the foundation for the heat and material balance, the energy integration study, and the process simulation.

The fields you receive.
Every column the process flow diagram typically carries is read and shaped into a structured row. Fields the source does not show stay blank, never invented.
| # | Field | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Stream tag | |
| 02 | Source equipment | |
| 03 | Destination equipment | |
| 04 | Phase | vapor, liquid, two-phase |
| 05 | Mass flow | kg, h or lb, h |
| 06 | Volumetric flow | m3, h or actual conditions |
| 07 | Temperature | |
| 08 | Pressure | |
| 09 | Density | |
| 10 | Viscosity | |
| 11 | Vapor fraction | |
| 12 | Composition | mole or mass fraction by component |
| 13 | Heat duty | for heat-exchanger and heater streams |
| 14 | Notes |
Source PFD vs. Extracted stream summary
| Field | On the PFD | In the extracted workbook |
|---|---|---|
| Stream tag | Numbered circle or labeled arrow | One row per stream, sortable |
| Source, destination | Drawn as connection | Resolved to equipment tag columns |
| Composition | Tabular block in the corner | One column per component, mole or mass fraction preserved |
| Heat duty | Annotated at the equipment | Tied to source equipment row |
| Phase plus vapor fraction | Annotated with mole fraction | Columns extracted as drawn |
| Stream conditions | T, P, flow per point | Per-column with units preserved |

Common questions
What formats are accepted.
Does this read stream composition tables off the PFD.
Can the export feed a process simulator, Aspen Plus, HYSYS, ProMax.
Does it handle multiple-train PFDs that share a stream table.
What about utility-PFD documents.
