Engineering Design for Process Plants
10 years involvement in modelling and development of complex processing plants
USD 6 Billion of processing plant built on our modelling modelling results
Other Hydromet
Mineral Processing
Pyromet
Power
Other Utilities
Control System
Phase 1
Assistance with testwork and pilot plant prgrams
Initial modelling for analysis to make sense of lab and pilot plant results
Preparation of initial Process Design Criteria (PDC)
Preparation of initial Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) with matching steady state model through development phase
Preparation of initial Control Philosophy Diagrams (CPDs) Piping and Instrumentation Drawings (P&IDs) through development phase.
Preparation of an initial 3D model to place major items as starting point.
Create initial walkthrough model for PR, fund raising etc.
Phase 2
Maintain control for development of steady state model and PFDs
Maintain control of development of PDCs and supporting documents
Set guidelines for preparation of design flow and ensure they are followed consistantly
Continue with development of P&IDs to point where the process requiremenst are fully defined
Develop steady state models for specific cases to explore design options or answer specific questions,
Start development of dynamic model and prototype control system based on P&IDs
Update 3D model using engineering models as available.
We can help you through each stage of the project :
Functional Descriptions
Phase 3
Continue development of steady state model and update data for mass balance.
Report on key differences between revisions of model.
Continue with specific model cases to explore design options.
Do specific design reports using specialised knnowledge of thermodynamics and process and equipment behaviour.
Continue to update walkthrough 3D models as engineering model revised.
Continue development of dynamic process model and prototype control system.
Produce first pass Control Philosophy and Functional Description based on the WISE system (virtual plant).
Continue all of above through design phase.
