For operators

Every workflow that starts with a P&ID gets faster, more accurate, and auditable.

From MTO for the next turnaround to LDAR component inventory for your next refinery audit, the work that reads your P&IDs is Armeta's work. The engineering team that used to spend days reading drawings spends hours reviewing structured output instead.

The operator problem

Your plant runs on a document no software can read.

The P&ID is the master record of every operating facility — every pipe, valve, instrument, safety device, and interconnection. Every Management of Change requires updating it. Every five years, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119(e)(6) mandates revalidating the Process Hazard Analysis built on top of it. Every LDAR survey requires tracing every regulated component back to it.

And every one of these workflows starts with an engineer re-reading the drawing by hand. Every time.

Six decades of CAD software has been built to create P&IDs. None of it reads the archive you already have. Every downstream workflow — compliance, procurement, safety, turnaround — pays the cost of manual extraction, again, every time.

Four workflows

Four operator workflows, one extraction engine.

MTO for turnarounds and revamps

Today

Manual extraction from PDF P&IDs takes 8 to 24 hours per drawing, depending on complexity. Cross-drawing connectivity is missed regularly. The typical result: 5 to 15 percent overpurchase on procurement — direct cost for a cost the MTO was supposed to control.

With Armeta

Structured component list per P&ID in under an hour end-to-end. Cross-drawing lines reconciled automatically. Accuracy and preparation time compress together. MTO becomes a repeatable, auditable deliverable rather than a resource-intensive project.

Automated MTO extraction workflow

MOC reconciliation

Today

29 CFR 1910.119(l) requires every Management of Change to update Process Safety Information, including P&IDs. In practice: two prints, a red pen, hours of engineer time per MOC. Undocumented field modifications drift into as-built records. MOC is one of OSHA's most frequently cited PSM elements.

With Armeta

Automated, auditable delta between any two revisions of the same drawing. Every change is flagged, structured, and exportable — ready for the MOC package. Engineering time drops; documentation quality rises.

PHA / HAZOP revalidation

Today

29 CFR 1910.119(e)(6) mandates Process Hazard Analysis revalidation at least every five years. EPA RMP parallels apply under 40 CFR Part 68. Step one of every revalidation — confirming P&IDs are current and building the PSI package — is manual. The PSI rebuild typically runs six to twelve months of lead time.

With Armeta

Current, structured P&IDs delivered to the HAZOP team at study kickoff. Revision deltas since the last revalidation are already flagged. PSI preparation time collapses from months to weeks.

PHA revalidation support workflow

LDAR component inventory

Today

Every regulated valve, flange, connector, pump, and compressor under 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63 must trace to a current P&ID. EPA's Leak Detection and Repair: A Best Practices Guide identifies drawing-to-component misalignment as a source of incomplete monitoring. A large US refinery carries more than 70,000 regulated components.

With Armeta

Structured component inventory extracted directly from the drawings that govern them. The LDAR database stays aligned with engineering reality. Compliance evidence is drawing-traceable — every component tied to a specific source drawing and source region.

The economics

The math works the first time you run it.

A simplified calculation for a typical operator engagement:

These are the direct engineering hours. They do not include MTO overpurchase avoidance (5–15% on brownfield work), HAZOP revalidation cycle time compression, MOC documentation acceleration, or the strategic value of retaining senior engineering knowledge as structured data.
