Basic Engineering
Our activities
Process flow diagrams and heat and material balances: a plant process simulation is developed including utilities consumption.
All process flows are defined in mass and energy complete with the physical parameters of temperatures, pressures, flow rates and more.
In generale si compone di:
a plant process simulation is developed including utilities consumption. ( FIG 1)
All process flows are defined in mass and energy complete with the physical parameters of temperatures, pressures, flow rates and more.
diagrams are created to show the interconnections among process equipment, utilities and tools used to control the process itself.
PIDs can be drafted freely (Autocad or equivalent) or with specific software (ESAIN PID)
a list is provided to identify all the items and their features. (FIG 4 e FIG 5)
a specification of the piping / lines and all the piping elements with their construction characteristics is provided.
the purpose and characteristics of the main operations and the equipment of the process units are described in narrative form.
Technical specifications of the process equipment and instruments. Sheets containing process data and features are provided.
plant layout containing indications of the area, structures and equipment.
and a technical risk assessment report, if applicable.
of safety valves, breathing valves, rupture discs, etc.
a description of the control logic and the interlocking schemes; a preliminary list of typical alarms is supplied.
In the diagrams and in the plans, the connection points (Tie-in and Battery limits) with the existing structures, both for process and for utilities, can be indicated.
The estimated investment/cost of the project developed in the basic engineering phase can usually be perfected to come up with a precise indication of the cost of the client’s project.
The basic engineering activities are carried out through process modelling software and programs developed internally in our company.
