Course Content
COMMISSIONING & START-UP PHASES IN PROJECT CYCLE
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
End precommissioning, mechanical completion, commissioning, ready for start-up, start-up permit, performance test runs, temporary and final acceptance.
Commissioning and start-up: a non-linear schedule. SIMOPS. Input data and reference documentation. Punch lists. Management of Change (MOC).
SPECIFIC RISKS TO COMMISSIONING & START UP
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
Fluid behavior and energy associated hazards. Chemical and physical hazards. Flammability.
Main risks induced by equipment, such as rotating, pressure vessels, thermal or naked flame equipment.
Risks related to utilities start-up: inert gas, nitrogen, steam, instrument air, water, fuel gas, diesel.
Risks evolution from construction to start-up. Transient phases. Safety reviews. Managing leaks.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE COMMISSIONING PROCESS UNITS
-
Duration : 1.5 Days
End of construction: visual control and checks for static and rotating equipment (no energy, no fluid). Cold clamping. Check of installation standards for piping and instrumentation.
Precommissioning activities: hydraulic tests and process equipment cleaning.
Mechanical completion.
Particular case of Utilities facilities: pre-commissioning, commissioning and start-up (ready for operations).
COMMISSIONING OF PROCESS UNITS & START UP
-
Duration : 1.5 Days
Chemical cleaning, flushing and blowing. Equipment drying and dynamic testing.
Particular case of instrumentation - Loops and DCS tests. Synchronization.
Preparation for the start-up of rotating equipment.
Prestart-up checks before oil-in. Plant line-up and test run.
Start-up: leak tests, air removal, oil-in. Heating up and hot bolting.
Update of documentation.
