Course Content

  • PROJECT BACKGROUND & COMMISSIONING PHASES - Duration : 2 Days

      • Main phases of a project.
      • Engineering studies (FEED, Detail) and anticipation of commissioning activities.
      • Project contract type and impact on commissioning activities.
      • Integration of commissioning activities into the project process: mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, commissioning and start-up activities during the project steps.
  • ORGANIZATION - Duration : 1 Day

      • Commissioning procedures. Interfaces with the different engineering disciplines according to the types of contract.
      • Plant/project breakdown into systems and subsystems. Execution plan for commissioning and start-up.
      • Setting up of commissioning/start-up teams. Split of responsibilities. Preparation of the list of precedents.
      • Start-up phases: pre-commissioning, commissioning and preparation for start-up, performance tests, provisional acceptance, mechanical guarantees, final acceptance. Hand over.
  • SAFETY - Duration : 0.25 Day

      • Risks related to the auxiliary fluids and the introduction of hydrocarbons. Risk evolution between construction, commissioning and start-up. Control of the risks related to modifications during the different phases.
      • Pre-Start-up Safety Review (PSSR).
  • END OF CONSTRUCTION - PRECOMMISSIONING - Duration : 0.75 Day

      • Precommissioning activities: static verification of equipment, hydraulic tests and equipment cleaning, involvement of operations in the mechanical completion, punch-list, actions follow-up and close out.
  • COMMISSIONING - Duration : 0.75 Day

      • Commissioning activities. Cleaning, flushing, blowing and drying. Dynamic testing.
      • Synchronization of control loops and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
  • START-UP & ACCEPTANCE - Duration : 0.25 Day

      • Start-up permit: checks required before oil-in. Leak tests, air removal, raw materials introduction.
      • Transition towards industrial production: performance tests, temporary and final acceptance, responsibility transfer.

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • Present pre-commissioning, commissioning and start-up activities on a project from the perspective of their programming and management,
  • Specify the basis for supervising or delegating activities in a context of mastering the specific constraints related to these operations.

Ways & Means

  • Cases studies on the precommissioning, commissioning and start-up of typical units.

Learning assessment

  • Quiz.
