Chapter 002, Commissioning Phase Two – Implement
This is a single chapter excerpted from the book Chemical and Process Plant Commissioning Handbook , made available for individual purchase. Additional chapters, as well as the entire book, may be purchased separately.
This chapter deals with the implementation phase of the commissioning process in plants. The stages are presented in the normal flow in which they are executed; however, many separate activities across all aspects runs concurrently. Some of them factory acceptance testing and modular construction, check construction and quality of build, tracking progress and system status, cleaning procedures and drying, pre-commissioning procedures, vessel check sheets, and instrument loop, electrical, and control system testing. The first stage—factory acceptance testing—the final check performed on vessels and major equipment prior to delivery to the job site. Here the emphasis for the commissioning team is not on the design and fabrication of the unit, but more on its cleanliness, the test installation of major components, and suitability of the equipment to travel. Sending commissioning team personnel to factory acceptance tests can fall foul of project budgets, but this strategy must be challenged by the commissioning manager. checking construction and quality of build, , as construction activities commence, start to be installed and major piping runs established, it is advisable for the commissioning team to start making regular site visits to closely monitor and follow the build progress. It is always easier, quicker, and cheaper to correct any installation issues at early stage rather than rectifying it later. The other stages of the implementation phase in commissioning plants are also discussed in this chapter in detail.
