 Pre- commissioning activity

  •   1. Hydrotest of Pipelines
  •  2. Leakage Test of Pipelines
  •   3. Flushing & Cleaning of Pipelines
  •   4. System dry-out
  •   5. Inerting
  •   6. Systematic Conformity Check of Equipment
  •   7. Static, De-energized Test of Equipment

Commissioning:

  •   1. Preliminary Check
  •   2. Functional Check
  •   3. Operational Test
  •   4. Pre-Startup activities

Pre-commissioning and commissioning activities are crucial in the oil and gas industry to ensure that all equipment and systems are installed, tested, and ready for safe and efficient operation. Pre-commissioning activities are carried out before commissioning and involve a series of tests and checks to verify the integrity and functionality of various components, while commissioning activities focus on ensuring that the entire system operates as intended. Let's delve into the details of each of the mentioned pre-commissioning and commissioning activities.

 

Pre-Commissioning Activities:

Hydrotest of Pipelines:

Objective: To ensure the integrity of pipelines and check for leaks or weaknesses.

Procedure: The pipeline is filled with water, pressurized to a specified level, and held for a specified duration to identify any leaks.

Leakage Test of Pipelines:

Objective: To detect and rectify any leaks or seepage in the pipeline.

Procedure: The pipeline is pressurized, and leakage is identified using various methods such as pressure decay or mass spectrometry.

Flushing & Cleaning of Pipelines:

Objective: To remove contaminants, debris, and scale from the pipeline.

Procedure: Chemical cleaning or high-velocity flushing with a suitable fluid to ensure the pipeline is free of contaminants.

System Dry-Out:

Objective: To remove any residual moisture from the system to prevent corrosion.

Procedure: Heating and venting are used to evaporate any moisture present in the system.

Inerting:

Objective: To replace the air in the system with an inert gas to prevent combustion or corrosion.

Procedure: Nitrogen or another inert gas is introduced into the system to displace air.

Systematic Conformity Check of Equipment:

Objective: To verify that all equipment is installed as per design and specifications.

Procedure: A detailed inspection of all equipment is carried out, checking for correct installation, alignment, and conformity with design.

Static, De-energized Test of Equipment:

Objective: To verify that the equipment operates correctly when not in operation.

Procedure: Equipment is tested while not under load or pressure, ensuring all components function as intended.

Commissioning Activities:

Preliminary Check:

Objective: To verify that all pre-commissioning activities have been completed successfully.

Procedure: Review all pre-commissioning documentation, safety checks, and ensure the system is ready for commissioning.

Functional Check:

Objective: To ensure that individual components and subsystems operate according to their intended functions.

Procedure: Each component is tested for functionality, and any issues are addressed.

Operational Test:

Objective: To assess the entire system's functionality and reliability.

Air Blowing in Piping Systems.

Image
Air blowing is an industrial plant service that uses dry oil-free compressed air to clean piping of debris and contaminants.    INDEX:- 1. What is Air Blowing? 2. Cleaning Factor Ratio (CFR)of Air Blowing? 3. Feature of Air Blowing?  4. Methodology or Air Blowing? 5. Application & Problem of air Blowing. 6. Procedure of  Air Blowing? 1. What is Air Blowing?  Air blowing is an industrial plant service that uses dry oil-free compressed air to clean piping of debris and contaminants.   It will remove construction debris, liquids, and semi adherent material, and safely transport the removed items out of the system.  This method allows for quick cleaning of piping systems without the need for disposal of large volumes of liquid cleaning solutions.
