Project Schedule For Plant Design
Project Schedule For Plant Design
PROJECT SCHEDULE
This chapter presents the project schedule of the proposed plant. The plant
will start its operation in the year 2022.
PROJECT IDEA
FEASIBILITY STUDY
This establishes the limitation of the project, the detailed definition and the
operating parameters. This phase consists of processing and constructing project
schedule, materials of construction, safety considerations, properties of products,
situation of the patent and legal restrictions, and initial economic evaluation of the
proposed project.
ENGINEERING DESIGN
This phase comprises the plant location, plant size or capacity, product
design, product specification, process equipment and selection, market design,
plant layout, piping and instrumentation design and utilities and services.
This phase emphases all aspects of engineering. The primary layouts and
blue prints are prepared which guides the construction phase and ensure the
minimization of costs. Detailed drawings of the fabrication of special equipment
and its specifications needed in the operation are also considered. The company
will be accountable for choosing competent machineries and equipment to be
used. The specified equipment will be purchased on time and detailed to define
the additional costs of the plant. This will be accomplished from June to December
2018.
Construction phase of the plant will follow a certain decision to proceed with
the installation. Timing and correct design sequence must be taken into account in
order to avoid construction delays. Installation of equipment will be done once the
plant has been constructed. It will be done from November 2019 to December 2021
and will be verified based from the actual plant design.
This presents the development of the project from the end of construction
up to the commercial operation. This involves the initial and primary dynamic tests,
including the guarantee of performance tests. Each materials and equipment will
then be tested for operation to ensure that it will be at its optimum condition during
the operation. This phase will be from January to October 2022.
The design team formulates the pre-commissioning plan which includes the
testing of instrumentation, flushing of line work, electrical, fire/life safety, interior
systems, utility plants, lighting, wastewater, controls and building security to verify
that it will achieve the owners project requirements. A pilot plant is considered a
small-scale simulation of the future industrial operations. The plant goes through
a series of tests and checks before the plant is started up. This also allows
essential changes and modifications about the product quality or the processes
involve to attain desired operation and to avoid unnecessary damages.
