Process Flow Simulation Diagrams

PFS Block Types

This section is intended to help you identify the basic types of blocks found in PFS diagrams.

Note: The shapes and  colors shown here represent the default settings. For information on modifying appearance settings, see Diagram Skins and Appearance Settings.

 

Source Block

A source block is where a fluid enters the PFS diagram.

Sink Block

A sink block is where a fluid exits the PFS diagram.

Process Block

A process block represents where fluids are combined to create other fluid types.

Tank Block

A tank block is used to store fluids.

Valve Block

A valve block is used to switch flow from one output to another.

Subdiagram Block

A PFS subdiagram block represents another PFS diagram within the project. Subdiagrams are generally used to break down a larger diagram into simpler steps to reduce complexity and improve traceability.

Process Standby Container/Trains

A process standby container allows you to identify paths, or trains, that operate in a standby redundancy configuration.
