A Process Flow Diagram (PFD) presents the process streams and fluid flows or transfers system through equipment and connected lines including the system conditions (temperature and pressure), components of fluid (physical properties), flow rates, and short equipment specifications. A PFD is generated by analysis and calculation of the chemical and physical characteristic of materials used by a process simulation program. A PFD is corresponding with Heat and Material Balance document, and developed information of different operation modes such as minimum, maximum, normal, summer, and winter cases in the separate tables that is used for the basis of equipment datasheet, P&ID and other critical engineering and design document. A PFD is a deliverable document of the FEED and Detailed Design and Engineering generated by a Process discipline.
