According to the nature of a project, engineering studies will include all or part of the following steps and all these activities are covered and fully managed within Promeridian's expert team.
Basic Engineering Design (BED) covers:
- Conceptual process studies (material balances, process flowsheets...) and preliminary plot plan.
- Preliminary Piping and Instrument Diagrams.
- Definition and sizing of main equipment resulting in process specifications.
- Specification of effluents.
- Definition of control and safety devices.
And, generally speaking, all the basic studies required to support a Basic Engineering Design Package (BEDP) containing all data needed by a competent contractor to perform the Detail Engineering.
These basic engineering studies may consist of consolidating a Process Package initiated by an external process licensor.
Front End Engineering Design (FEED) covers:
- Mechanical data sheets of the main equipment, starting from the process specifications issued during the BED and incorporating the specific requirements of codes and standards applicable to the project.
- Thermal rating of heat exchangers.
- Preparation of tender packages for the main equipment.
- Development of process and utility Piping and Instrument Diagrams released for detailed engineering.
- Development of detailed plot plans and hazardous areas.
- Elaboration of the main piping, instrument, electrical, and civil works layouts.
- All necessary studies before ordering the main equipment.
Detail Engineering, covering:
- Purchasing of equipment, main and bulk.
- Thermal rating of heat exchangers.
- Development of Piping and Instrument Diagrams released for construction.
- Development of detailed piping drawings, including isometrics and stress calculations.
- Development of detailed drawings related to instrumentation, electrical facilities and civil works.
- Management of vendor drawings.
- Cost and schedule control.
- Start-up procedures.
- All necessary studies to be performed before construction of the plant.
