Advanced Diploma of Industrial Automation Assignment

Assignment Task

How is this assessment task assessed?

For a result of ‘Satisfactory’ in this assessment task, all module assessment criteria (as indicated on page 4) must be completed to a satisfactory standard.

Where a critical question is identified, you must receive a mark of 100% for these questions before a ‘satisfactory’ result can be awarded, regardless of the overall mark achieved.

At Advanced Diploma level, a ‘satisfactory’ standard, as stipulated by the Australian Qualifications Framework, means that you will demonstrate the application of knowledge and skills:

• with depth in areas of specialisation, in contexts subject to change
• with initiative and judgment in planning, design, technical or management functions with some direction
• to adapt a range of fundamental principles and complex techniques to known and unknown situations
• across a broad range of technical or management functions with accountability for personal outputs  personal and team outcomes within broad parameters

Question 

1. Sketch a preliminary arrangement plan for the following distillation column. On the arrangement plan indicate, access platforms, access for construction, operations and maintenance. In your answer we are looking for thought into the relative sizes of the distillation column and the different requirements for pipe racks, maintenance access and clearance. These are to be basic sketches not overly detailed; more to provide an understanding that you have thought about each element of the systems.

Attach your drawing to your assignment. You can either send it as a PDF file or take a screen shot.

Open the drawing template Distillation PLANT. More information can be found on the instruction sheet.

2. Draw a Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) for the above distillation column. Draw the complete pipe circuit connecting the pump and the reboiler to the column. Draw appropriately the remaining pipe lines assuming the connections are out of the page. Refer to figure 2 for all the connections to the distillation column and use figure 1 to get an understanding of the pipe circuit. Include in your drawing gauges for the column and valves. Pipe lines tags are not required but do come up with tags for the other parts of the drawing.

Attach your drawing to your assignment. You can either send it as a PDF file or take a screen shot.

Open the drawing template Distillation COLUMN. More information can be found on the instruction sheet.

3. Draw the piping isometric for the sample line showed below which connects nozzle N1 from vessel V-101 with nozzle C of exchanger E-101. Exact dimensions are not required. Draw approximately but in the right direction. These equipment are exchanging a non-harmful liquid.

The system operates at atmospheric pressure at a temperature of 90ºC. However, the temperature may fluctuate between 70ºC to 150ºC. The pipes are built from carbon steel.

Consult the standards and create a bill of materials, a piping line list and a piping specification. Assume a corrosion allowance of 2mm is required and the minimum allowable pipe wall thickness is 5mm. Attach your drawing to your assignment. You can either send it as a PDF file or take a screen shot.

The tables for the bill of materials, piping line list and piping specification are on a separate Excel sheet. Please attach them to your assignment.

Open the drawing template Piping ISOMETRIC. More information can be found on the instruction sheet.

4. a) Fill in the gaps below: 

The failure of Reflux Pump P-401A will adversely affect the flow of reflux to [i] and the flow of light product to [ii].

The Reflux Drum D-401 level [iii] quickly.

If the Reflux Drum is filled completely, then the [iv] of the drum will [v].

b) Propose a solution to this problem. 

c) Provide a screenshot of the schematic in your answer and illustrate your
solution on the schematic.
