As the October 1, 2016 compliance deadline for the OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) rules nears, one of the things that you must have in place is a Piping & Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) of your ammonia storage system.  The P&ID as well as a block flow diagram of your installation benefits your employees as well as contractors in understanding your ammonia process.  The Asmark Institute offers a service that can create P&IDs as well as a block flow diagram for your specific ammonia location.  The process starts by you taking detailed pictures of your ammonia installation with a camera or smartphone and then uploading the photos to Asmark.  Once received, Asmark will start creating the P&ID and the block flow diagram and then send you a proof to review before the final diagrams are printed.  Click here for a direct link to Asmark's P&ID service.  On the website there are examples of these drawings and more information on this service.  A typical installation will cost $375 for the P&ID and block flow diagram.  If you have questions about the P&ID or PSM, please call our office at 309.827.2774.
