Electrical & Instrumentation Calibration & Check-Out
Since many new processing plants install state-of-the-art control systems such as DeltaVTM, commissioning and startup include such activities as:
- Check hardware, including wiring, to ensure that each motor starts from the correct motor control center (MCC)
- Check software addressing to ensure each motor & instrument responds from the correct icon on the display
- Start all pieces of equipment
- Check power supply & functionality
-
Check safety & software interlock sequences using
- PEHTC, written documentation and/or
- Client-written documentation reviewed by PEHTC
- Perform system trial runs with water or sacrificial product
- Tune process control loops, such as temperature, pressure, flow
- Train operators
- Perform turn-over
