To start up a designing task of a chemical plant or any chemical process, every engineer from all branches of chemical, mechanical, instrumentation, electrical, and civil are involved in their respective section of the designing activity. As concerned with chemical plant or industrial designing and even in designing a signal unit operation or unit process, these factors should be established and every individual step to be documented for further reference and modification of the designs. An outlook of the commissioning steps is briefed for a simple glance. You can use this free calculator for calculation analysis of fixed capital investment, operating cost of labor, utilities cost, raw material, and profits
These are the steps which are involved in commissioning a chemical industry but they just side words where a lot of brainstorming hours will decide every task for execution, these should be kept in mind by every fresh engineer to grow his experience because fresher who enters into a well-established company he may not know how does it function and no one will take keen interest to spoon feed. Having just a bit of term and knowledge on the above activities will support him in building up his confidence among the senior engineers and staff.
A sequential process analysis is done to design the plant for better performance in handling high loads. By using 3D modeling and simulation a visualization of the plant structure is made and even provides space and flexibility to adapt to new technology improvements made in unit operations.
These are huge building structures that are equipped with machines, robots, computer-operated machines, control systems, and utility supplies like power, water, and ventilation systems. Employing high labor or manpower, they work 24 hours to produce mass production of goods from raw materials available. The term manufacturing plants was coined during the Industrial Revolution.
- Raw material selection.
- Block diagram of the process.
- Material and Energy balance of the process.
- Equipment selection.
- Piping drawings, instrument drawings, electrical and civil drawings.
- Layout drawings.
- Utility section equipment capacity calculation based on energy requirement found by energy balance.
- Individual equipment drawings and flow sheet.
- Blueprint of the complete process.
- HAZOP and safety studies (safety interlock systems).
- Redesigning of the process flow sheet.
- Construction of the civil structures.
- Equipment installation and commissioning
- Leak and pressure tests of the equipment and pipelines.
- Instruments and controller installation, calibration.
- Trail run with water and then with air.
- Purging the process equipment.
- Validation runs are taken for stabilization of the process.
