Project objective
Determine which equipment can be economically refurbished, which items require replacement, and how to divide the work between mechanical equipment, valves, electrical systems, instrumentation and controls.
Offered technologies / Process plants
Refurbishment of process equipment packages
Coordination of existing process-equipment refurbishment, from initial inspection through dismantling, cleaning and repairs to testing, documentation and preparation for reinstallation.
Operating context
The whole application matters.
The starting point is an equipment register and assessment of actual condition. Repairable components, replacement parts, test procedures and handover documents are defined for each item. Refurbishment is divided into stages with separate inspection points and interfaces to installation or export.
Scope of the solution
- Dismantling and component identification, removal of deposits and corrosion, mechanical repairs and seal renewal.
- Heat-exchanger refurbishment, assessment of vessels and piping assemblies, and valve and electric-heater servicing within the agreed scope.
- Leak checks and pressure tests under approved procedures, protective coatings and renewed identification.
- Coordination of instrumentation, controls, auxiliary equipment and dispatch stages.
- Register of dismantled components, interface checks and reassembly preparation.
- Coordination of vessel, thermal-equipment and filter-internal repairs based on findings.
Engineering priorities
From operating need to design.
Supply interfaces
Original equipment documentation, materials, process media, pressures and temperatures.
Engineering output
A record of completed work and modifications for each equipment item.
Dismantling and return-to-service stages
Equipment and interfaces are identified so that findings, repairs and reassembly remain traceable. Discoveries after opening inaccessible parts are recorded, and any scope changes are agreed before work proceeds.
Before engineering
Inputs that matter.
- What is the equipment condition and history, and is original documentation available?
- Will the original duty remain, or are the medium or operating parameters changing?
- Which shutdown window and work stages can the plant accommodate?
- Who will provide dismantling, installation, utilities and on-site acceptance tests?
- Component-retention, temporary-storage and identification requirements.
- Site-release boundaries, handling areas and concurrent trades.
Agreed with the proposal
Outputs and acceptance.
- A record of completed work and modifications for each equipment item.
- Agreed inspection and test reports, material records, identification and assembly documentation.
- Packing lists and protection of openings, surfaces and sensitive components for transport and storage.
- Equipment register connecting pre-work condition with completed repairs.
- Staged reassembly plan and checks required before return to service.
The actual scope and acceptance criteria depend on the application and contract.
