I nearly wanted to cry watching this. I graduated in 2015. The oil dip did its part besides the limited application of Chemical Engineering and my visa status and forced constant travelling. I'm now a labourer and the mental pain is by far worse than the physical burden. I love engineering, and chemical plants, so much but I will be happy with a job that respects I have a brain to use. I'm indecisive Wether I should continue studying chemical engineering or start something else that's less enjoyable for me but offers higher employablity.
Heart-breaking man. I hope your passion carries you through it, but being dealt a bad hand is tough. Fingers crossed that you find love in what you do.
this is one the best P&I Diagram explanation...i'm a LNG gas plant operator but still needs to study and further review to continue my knowledge of the P&I Diagram sheets.. thanks a lot for the video..sharing and caring..😊👍👍👍
Excellent video! As a new project engineer working with an interdisciplinary team to design and construct a new plant I need a working knowledge of all disciplines and your videos have been of great help.
Ah yes, the good ol' "XZXHL" (or insert any other random assortment of the last 5 letters of the alphabet here...) To be honest with you, I think that when there are limit switches and things on valves things get a bit haywire, and it would be a lie if I told you I was totally clued-up on it. I don't want to mislead anybody. Even in doing something as basic as this introduction, there are so many iterations of how to show something as basic as an an interlock, that I'm a little sceptic about coming across as an authority on it. I'll keep this topic on the "to-do" list, but at this stage I'm not sure I could compile anything confidently! I will see whether I can find someone who can shed light on the topic...
I'm a retired research chemist of 35 years. I found that I should have gone unto Ch.E because I was really interested in the process more than the chemistry.
Well done! As an Electrical Control Design Engineer, I think it's part of our duty to explain whether we use a transmitter, a transducer or something else, and to show how they connect to the control cabinet, the HMI or other indicators. We usually divide the project design among different departments. So it's great that you can give a complete overview of the process!
It’s sad that I’m graduating with an Instrumentation Associates in 4 weeks and this has been the most useful information I’ve watched/gathered compared to my lectures and professors.
putting a drain on the bottom of the tank is tricky unless the tank is suspended (using legs or a skirt). So you might want to consider showing the drain coming in the side with a dip tube. If you really can put the drain on the bottom of the tank, then sometimes showing grade and the support method helps to clarify the situation since a skirt can create a flammable confined space hazard. Speaking of dip tubes, your feed into the tank, might also benefit from a dip tube (which will reduce static hazards), but be sure to provide a syphon break in the feed line to prevent accidental reverse flow. I think a pressure gauge on the tank might be a good idea too.

Nice! Glad to hear they help! Best of luck in the new position…
Best video on the subject by far.
what a video! It's definitely something extremely useful to a beginner. Many thanks for your effort in making such a great video.
Practical and easy to follow.. good work !
Excellent presentation as usual. 👍
Thanks for putting this together. Expecting more of your videos.....cheers
Great video pat, clear and easy to understand 👍
Thank you for the best explanation ever about P&ID's, you made my day , I have an interview and I'm feeling more confident for that t day.
Really high quality stuff and very useful too.
That’s really kind of you, but I did do it on a scruffy piece of paper! Thank you though.
Great video. Simple, succinct and supreme explanations
Thoroughly explained thank you 👍🏻
Beautiful.
Great job on explaining this.
Thank you for an informative presentation nicely done.
Came from reddit. Stayed for the beauty of explanation. Amazing job. Thank you, Pat. Keep up the good works. Waiting for your next videos.
Really kind words. Thanks! And don't hold back on criticism either - I'm sure there's loads that can be better.
Thank you so much it's a very very useful video to understand the PID
Excellent!
Very detailed video..Easy to understand. 🥰
very good illustration thank you
Pat can you also do a video on control loops (eg. UXY and UX on UV ) etc.

Great video. Thank you so much. May you please do a video on how to approach chemical engineering design from scratch. Looking forward to it ❤️🙏🏽
Very nice.
Thank You ❤
Relief Valve? ... Great job of a documenting an asbuilt P&ID.
I think you should have used a dash-dot type line (software link) between the LIC and the LAHH instrument balloons.
I think PFD is the basis to build P&ID...
Legend
Loved the disclaimer XD... btw great content Pat!

Hi if you have worked in the usa,
How is the dow chemical company in the usa? Does it a good company?
This helped sooo much. Thank you!

This is the best P&ID video I have ever seen. Many details explained inside I got to understand the first time. Many many thanks for it！❤
Amazing! Thanks for very useful information.

Thanks, you are just great.
