Q. Show the design of the control rooms?

The design of the control rooms in any plant is very important. The control room operator(s) must be able to control and manage safety and production critical emergencies efficiently and effectively to ensure that the plant can be shutdown and vented safely, ensure that fire control and mitigation efforts are initiated and that evacuation can be accomplished if necessary.

The control room should be located next to a road. Control and shutdown system equipment rooms are also usually located adjacent to or nearby the main control room.

On a large facility it may be necessary to have an emergency control room separate from the main control room to serve as a backup for these functions, if the main control room is not available. This room may also serve as the emergency command center.

Single unit control rooms, located within a process unit, are not recommended for new plants but may be present in older existing plants.
