P&ID extraction for refining.
A refinery is a portfolio of units sharing a fence line. Each carries its own I/O baseline, rebuilt on turnaround, and a full-site master set crosses 2,000 pages once utilities, tank farm, flare, and amine are counted.
- Per-unit I/O list segmented by process area
- Instrument index with thermowell plus transmitter pairing preserved
- SIS subset filtered for IEC 61511 audit
- Line list with pipe spec breaks and metallurgy
- Revision comparison covering pre-turnaround, post-turnaround drawing sets
- FCCU drawings carry high temperature instrument density. T-prefix tags dominate
- Hydrocracker SIS uses multi-layer overpressure protection drawn as redundant PSHH, PALL pairs. Voting annotations preserved
- Sulfur recovery and amine units require BPCS, SIS separation per OSHA PSM and IEC 61511 LOPA outputs
- Tank farms and blending run as separate workspaces. Drawing density and tag conventions differ from process units
- Crude overhead corrosion monitoring, ER probes, neutralizer injection reads as analyzer-style tags. Signal class inferred correctly
- Flare header and relief network tie-ins span multiple unit drawings. Off-page connector matching ties relief load studies together
- Hydrogen and SMR units carry high-temperature service with line spec breaks at every reformer outlet
- API 614 lube and seal-oil console drawings are vendor-supplied as sub-tags of the parent equipment. Equipment list preserves the parent linkage
- OSHA PSM 1910.119, US drives MOC discipline. Refining is one of the listed covered processes
- EPA RMP overlaps PSM with environmental documentation requirements
- IEC 61511, ISA 84 enforces SIS lifecycle including proof-test cadence
- API RP 752, 753 facility siting documentation references P&ID-derived equipment locations
