Chapter 18

Details of Plot Layout

Abstract

In the first instance, plant layout is usually considered from a process point of view, since robust operation is of great importance. This initial design is then subjected to some level of hazard and operability analysis. Relevant statutory requirements relating to the site, process, and on-site/off-site transport needs will also impact on the layout of a facility, and need to be considered at an early stage. Experienced designers will, however, do this automatically without the need for formal reviews. This chapter considers what is commonly the final stage of process plant layout, the detailed layout of a plot.
