Process & instrumentation diagrams

Each sheet is drawn from a declarative spec: ISA-5.1 tagged instruments on leaders, bowtie valves with their fail position, numbered balloons tied to a parts list, a logic block with the interlock rules, and a title block that says concept — not for construction. Pick a state and the drawing routes it: the live path highlighted, open valves hollow, closed valves filled, the governing rule lit.

sheet 1 · membraneless microfluidic MFC · laminar co-flow separator · state: Co-flow (Re < 2000)

R-101 — Y-junction PDMS/glass chip. The virtual separator is diffusion broadening δ ≈ √(D·L/U) — it fails when the flow slows, not when a part breaks.R-101MICROCHANNEL R-101anode — Anode — the exoelectrogenic biofilm lives on this surface.−cathode — Cathode — where the terminal electron acceptor is reduced.+ANOLYTE + CELLSP-101 — Syringe / peristaltic pump at µL/min. Residence time is the whole design: too fast and the biofilm starves, too slow and the streams inter-diffuse.P-101FEEDXV-101 — Feed isolation. Fails closed: a trip starves the reactor rather than flooding it.XV-101·FCMIXED OUTLETSW-201 — Circuit isolator. Every state on this sheet that does not light the circuit draws this blade OPEN — which is what an OCV or disconnected reading actually is.switch closed — circuit madeSW-201SHUNT — Current-sense resistor. IT-202 reads the millivolt drop across it; the resistance has not been sized on this concept sheet, so the current span is a design span, not an instrument specification.SHUNTL-101 — External resistor. Swept for the polarization curve; fixed at R-int for max power.L-101R-EXT 1 kΩCATHOLYTE (OXIDANT)CATHOLYTE (OXIDANT) RETURNS-101 — Feed sample point — the inlet half of every removal / conversion figure.SS-101S-102 — Effluent sample point. COD, VFA and product assays are grab samples; no transmitter on this sheet measures them.SS-102ET-201 — Cell voltage across the load. With SW-201 open this is the OCV.ET201IT-202 — Cell current, read as the millivolt drop across the shunt. Power density is reported per projected anode area.IT202FT-101 — Feed flow — with the reactor volume this is the HRT the COD balance is built on.FT101PT102AT-301 — Anolyte pH at the inlet; the channel is too small to probe mid-run.AT301AT-302 — Outlet oxidant concentration — how much of the catholyte was actually used.AT302TT-601 — Temperature; report it with every performance number.TT601LT-701 — Reactor level — high-high trips the feed.LT701LSHH702UY-100 — Mode select: reads the tags below and commands the feed valve, the pumps and the circuit.UY100(1) MICROCHANNEL R-101 R-1011(2) Feed pump P-1012(3) Feed isolation valve XV-1013(4) Circuit switch SW-2014(5) External load L-1015UY-100 · CO-FLOW GUARD — READS FT-101, ET-201Re < 2000 · FT-101 AT SETPOINT → LOAD CLOSEDIT-202 = 0 → OCV · CHARACTERISATION ONLYFT-101 LOW → STREAMS MIX · XV-101 SHUTNOTES · 1.
