Equipment Layout Checklist

Process Plant Equipment Layout and Design Guides
Guidelines for use:

At the start of detailed design, a designer is assigned an an area of work by the responsible
supervisor. The supervisor then sits down with the assigned designer and reviews each item
on the list for each type of equipment contained in the area. The review can be done on a
hard copy or on an electronic copy. Between the supervisor and the designer they review the
sheet against the expected piece of equipment. Together, they place a "Y" (for yes) or a "N"
(for no) in the column marked "Applicable" for each listed item. This then becomes only the
minimum requirement for active consideration during the design process.
Designer
As the designer proceeds with the design work he (or she) shall place their initials & date in
the "Designer Confirms" column when each item has been properly satisfied or determined to
be not applicable. The completed sheet forms a part of the design development package and
stays with the area records.
Checker
The checker assigned to perform the checking or QA/QC shall use this sheet and place their
initials & date in the "Checker Confirms" column to varify that all the required items have
been properly addressed.
Listed below are the six major issues that need to be considered as a part of the design
process for every piece of equipment. These sheets currently exist for only the most common
types of the major equipment found in Refinerys and Chemical Plants.
Engineering and Design Issues
This category of issues includes: What is it? Where is it? Do the reference documents and the
item match? Is all the correct information available and is all the available information
correct?
Manufacturing and Fabrication Issues
This category of issues includes the question of the possibility of vendor supplied supports,
clearances, anchors, bracing or other items. It also deals with clearance accesses for pipe
routing to and from piping connections.
Construction and Installation Issues
This category of issues includes how the equipment item is going to be installed and what, if
any, it will have on the location of the equipment and/or the piping.
Operational Issues
This category of issues includes accessibility to operational valves and instruments.
Maintenance Issues
This category of issues includes the accessibility to areas of the equipment that require
maintenance.
Safety Issues
This category of issues includes the requirement for relief valves, rapid and unrestricted
egress, Fireproofing, safety (personnel protection) insulation or safety showers.

have top discharge. This version is manufactured with the shaft in the horizontal position. The driver may be motor, turbine o
engine.
Primary function: Used to transfer a liquid commodity from one point to another. May be called Charge Pumps, Transfer Pump
Loading Pumps or any other designation depending on function.
Key Performance Issues: Proper sizing (head), location relationship to the suction source related equipment, correct suction a

Fin Fan (Air Cooled) Type Exchanger
Basic description: Small, medium and large forced draft or induced draft Air cooled Exchangers. Forced Draft units have the
and the fan under the tube bundle and blow the air up past the tubes. Induced Draft units may have the motor under the tub
above the tubes but will have the fan above the tubes and suck the air up past the tubes. Fin Fans will have one or two tube
per unit. Some installations may require ten or more units per service. Units will normally have two Fans per unit (Small pac
units may have only one fan). Most Fin Fans normally have only one inlet and one outlet per tube bundle, however some m
two inlets and two outlets per bundle. Some are totally open-sided and some have full side panels. Some may also come w
coils to temper the air in fridged climates.
Primary function: Used for cooling of process or utility gas streams where Cooling water is in short supply. May be called a C
Condenser.
Key Performance Issues: Proper sizing (duty), location relationship to related equipment, correct inlet and outlet piping confi
clean operation, and prudent maintenance.

Vertical Trayed Vessel (Fractionation Column or Tower)
Basic description: Medium to large diameter vertical vessel with tray type internals. Will normally have one primary feed nozz
The line attached to this nozzle will be liquid or mixed phase flow. Will normally have only one vapor outlet located on the top
head or on the shell near the top. This vessel will normally have only one primary or main feed inlet. This vessel will normally
operate at a high temperature and therefore will expand vertically in perportion to the operation temp. and the materials of
construction. This type of equipment will have many piping lines that connect to it and therefore will travel up and down the ve
sides. These lines will also need supports and guides.
Primary function: Separation of one or more products from the primary feed stream. .
Key Performance Issues: Proper sizing (Volume), number & type of trays, location relationship to related equipment, correct in
and outlet nozzle to tray locations, correct inlet and outlet piping configuration, proper instrument location and proper operation
