The question you were asked is a very poor one (I assume you meant to type tandem) to use for employee selection purposes. There is no pump type that specifically requires a tandem seal. It is merely one option to deal with possible seal failure. You should count yourself very lucky you did not get the job, as you would have been working with at least one silly person. So maybe the question did work after all, but in reverse to expectations.
Your second question depends partly on the industry. There are a number or
documents which need to be jointly developed, including P&ID, layouts,
equipment lists, flowsheets, control philosophy material and energy
balances.
In the areas I work, the balances and flowsheets are normally developed by
process, as is the first pass P&ID. The P&ID is the real interactive
document requiring input from process and mech/piping. However sometimes a
change must be reflected back to the flowsheets equipment lists etc.
For most process work I expect a completed flowsheet from process, and work
jointly with them to produce the P&ID.
Interested to hear how others work.
Cheers
Steve
