For simple cases, one can use MS Office (MS PowerPoint) and start biulding a simple librray of engineering components/processes.

On the other hand, some simulation softwares will allow you to make an excellent PFD. Depends on the package. I can personally vouch for ProMax (bre.com) being one that lends itself towards doing this activity. If you are designing a process, and creating a simulation to aid in that design, the software package might be able to produce an excellent first pass, which you can then have CAD'd up or something.
Onwards,
Matt

I would use Visio for this, as I have done a few times on assets I have worked on. It is easy to use and also has the benefit that it uses easily available software. That means that if you move on etc, someone else can update the drawing easily without having to get lots of fancy software installed on their machine. I have attached the latest one I drew for one of our assets. It is offshore, but gives an idea of how we layed it out
