Safe Process Units Start-Up/Shutdown and Development of Equipment Handling Over/Commissioning Procedures

Introduction

Safe Process Units Start-Up/Shutdown and Development of Equipment Handling Over/Commissioning Procedures

Objectives

By attending this training course, you will be able to:

• • GAIN INSIGHTS on step by step phases of commissioning planning
  • Recognize project safety management as applied in process plant start-up, commissioning & troubleshooting
  • ESTABLISH clear guidelines for individual roles and responsibilities in the project
  • INTRODUCE instrumentation & control systems in process plant start-up and conduct performance trials
  • MANAGE efficiently the electrical, utilities, and machinery systems during initial operations
  • MONITOR the progress of initial start-up operations and make appropriate adjustments to variables
  • REINFORCE troubleshooting and problem-solving strategies which can be applied
  • Minimize risk in the commissioning process by adopting risk-based commissioning
  • LEARN from possible hiccups highlighted at the different stages of the commissioning process

Who Should Attend?

This course specially designs for Heads, GMs, Senior Managers, Section Leaders, Team Leaders, Engineers and Superintendents from:

• Operation and Maintenance

Course Outline

  ORGANIZATION

• Integration of commissioning activities into the project process: mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, commissioning, and start-up activities during the project steps.
• Commissioning procedures. Interfaces with the different engineering disciplines according to the types of contracts.
• Plant/project breakdown into systems and subsystems. The execution plan for commissioning and start-up.
• Setting up of commissioning/start-up teams. The split of responsibilities. Preparation of the list of precedents
• Start-up phases: recommissioning, commissioning, and preparation for start-up, performance tests, provisional acceptance, mechanical guarantees, final acceptance. Hand over.

  SAFETY

• 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 - PRE COMMISSIONING

• Recommissioning activities: static verification of equipment, hydraulic tests and equipment cleaning, the involvement of operations in the mechanical completion, punch-list, actions follow-up, and closeout.

   COMMISSIONING

• Commissioning activities. Cleaning, flushing, blowing, and drying. Dynamic testing.
• Synchronization of control loops and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

  START-UP & ACCEPTANCE

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