PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES
In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has
been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major
industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these
technical requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and
engineering costs to both the purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While
this Practice is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users,
individual applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take
precedence over this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and
particular matters or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering
situations should not be made solely on information contained in these materials. The
use of trade names from time to time should not be viewed as an expression of
preference but rather recognized as normal usage in the trade. Other brands having the
same specifications are equally correct and may be substituted for those named. All
Practices or guidelines are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and
regulations including OSHA requirements. To the extent these Practices or guidelines
should conflict with OSHA or other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or
regulations must be followed. Consult an appropriate professional before applying or
acting on any material contained in or suggested by the Practice.
This Practice is subject to revision at any time by the responsible Function Team
and will be reviewed every 5 years. This Practice will be revised, reaffirmed, or
withdrawn. Information on whether this Practice has been revised may be found at

Introduction
1.1
Purpose
This document is provided as a guide to individuals responsible for the design,
specification, purchasing, and installation of process analyzer systems on major
capital projects. These projects typically require the participation of the Owner
Company, an Engineering and Construction (E&C) contractor, an Analyzer
Systems Vendor (ASV) or integrator, and the Analyzer Vendor(s) or Analyzer
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). It shall be understood that each
analyzer system is an individually engineered product and not a commodity item.
1.2
Scope
The successful implementation of a process analyzer project requires the knowledge,
integration, and management of multi-disciplinary engineering skills and resources
that may bridge several different organizations. The detailed information contained
within this document on “roles and responsibilities” assumes a “typical” project. The
organizational structure may include analyzer resources from an Owner Company, an
E&C contractor, an ASV, and the Analyzer Vendor or the Analyzer OEM. However,
depending upon the scope of a given project and the organizational structure defined
for that project, the “tasks” defined under the roles and responsibilities for
participating organizations may change. Use this document to assist in assessment
and definition of roles and responsibilities for those tasks requiring completion for a
given project.
Successful implementation of a project requires continuity of personnel throughout
the execution period of a project. In addition to minimizing the overall cost of the
project, all efforts should be taken to align resources and minimize duplication of
effort.

References
Applicable requirements in the latest edition (or the edition indicated) of the following
Practices and industry standards shall be utilized. Any conflict between this guideline and
reasonable Practices, codes, and standards shall be brought to the attention of the companies
involved for resolution. Short titles will be used herein when appropriate.
The documents listed below in Section 2.1 are all available in electronic form. These data
sheets shall be “living” documents to be used throughout the execution of a project. Each of
these data sheets may be individually “customized” to meet specific project requirements.
During the execution of a project, the Owner Company will typically initiate the use of these
documents. These same documents will then be forwarded to an E&C contractor, ASV,
and/or Analyzer OEM as required for completion during the various stages of project
execution.

General Guidelines
The implementation of process analyzers on a major capital project may require only the
resources of Owner Company personnel. However, limited Owner Company resources often
require the use of an E&C contractor for project design and engineering. Process analyzer
systems will usually fall within the scope of work of an electrical and instruments (E&I)
engineering section of an E&C contractor. The level of process analyzer expertise present
within an Owner Company or an E&C contractor may vary dramatically. Often, even with
highly skilled analyzer engineering expertise available within both the Owner Company and
Process Industry Practices

PIP PCEPA002
Process Analyzer Project Implementation Guidelines
August 2000
the E&C contractor, the additional expertise of an ASV and/or an analyzer OEM is
necessary.
How these different organizations interact to produce a successful analyzer project may vary
depending upon the “stage” of the project. A typical capital project includes, but may not be
limited to, the following stages:
•
Conceptual design
•
Production design
•
Implementation
•
Detail design
•
Installation
•
Commissioning
•
Project completion
A matrix can be prepared in a spreadsheet or word-processing format to show the tasks
required at each stage in the project, along with each party’s agreed role (lead, approval,
concern, and information only).
A brief explanation of the analyzer project activity associated with each of these stages is
defined below. Specific “analyzer-related tasks” and “deliverables” for each design stage is
further detailed for each of the participating companies or organizations.
4.
Typical Roles and Responsibilities
4.1
Conceptual Design
The initial design phase, which may follow piloting activity, is used to generate
process flow diagrams (PFDs). Piping and instrument drawings (P&IDs) are
sometimes started during this stage of a project. This activity will normally include
the participation of Owner Company R&D and Engineering. If a production-scale
pilot plant facility is included in this stage, the services of an E&C contractor may
also be required. At this stage of a project, the definition of process analyzer needs is
often limited to a conceptual “like to have” or “must have.” However, including
process analyzer resources at this stage of process development and design is critical.
This may be the only opportunity to develop, test, and evaluate process specific online analysis techniques for perceived analysis needs before implementation.
4.1.1
Owner Company
4.1.1.1 Develop PFDs.
4.1.1.2 Define preliminary analysis requirements.
4.1.1.3 Develop methods for Owner Company proprietary analytical
technology.
4.1.1.4 Develop analysis systems design concepts.

PIP PCEPA002
Process Analyzer Project Implementation Guidelines
August 2000
4.1.1.5 Initiate preparation of Process Analyzer System Data Sheet PIP PCSPA02D.
4.1.1.6 Specify acceptable analytical technologies and vendors.
4.1.1.7 Develop acceptable vendor lists for ASV, analyzer OEM, and
system components.
4.1.1.8 Develop preliminary of P&IDs (study drawings).
4.1.1.9 Define project roles and responsibilities.
4.2
Production Design
During this phase of a project, PFDs are further refined, the plant layout or general
arrangement (GA) is defined, and P&IDs are developed and completed. On-line
process analyzer requirements, including sample tap locations, process operating
conditions, and specific analysis requirements, are defined during this stage. An
E&C contractor typically completes the detailed design of a production facility, in
conjunction with designated representatives of Owner Company.
Outlined below are the tasks to be completed during this stage of the project. These
tasks are not necessarily presented in a timeline sequence because the project
participants often complete them in parallel.

Implementation
The basic data for the process analysis requirements that are developed during the
conceptual and production design stages are used during implementation to define
sample transport, sample conditioning, and utility support requirements for each
analyzer system installation. Depending upon the roles and responsibilities that have
been defined for a given project, the Owner Company and/or the E&C contractor
typically assumes the responsibility for developing this information.
Outlined below are the tasks to be completed during this stage of the project. These
tasks are not necessarily presented in a timeline sequence because the project
participants often complete them in parallel.
