Description of the Three-Phase Approach
Phase 1 - Process Engineering involves information exchange and performing sufficient engineering to develop a piping and instrument diagram (P&ID) and preliminary equipment specifications to define the process to be constructed. This phase defines the process and provides the following deliverables:
- An initial scope meeting, if necessary
- P&IDs (schematics including all equipment, valves, instruments, and basic process control)
- Basic equipment specifications
- A ±50% constructed-cost estimate
- A process-review meeting
- Updated P&IDs based on the review meeting
- A cost estimate for Phase 2
Phase 2 - Detailed Engineering provides the details needed for procurement and construction - the detailed engineering with specifications required to secure or manufacture the critical pieces of equipment - and provides the following deliverables:
- Engineering-review meetings as required
- Finalized P&IDs
- Final equipment specifications and/or selections
- Final instrument specifications and/or selections
- Preliminary operating procedure
- Installation drawings (minimum required)
- Detailed scope of work for the various contractors
- A ±10% constructed-cost estimate
- A proposal for CEI to provide a turn-key installation
Phase 3 - Project Implementation is the actual fabrication/construction of the process unit. This phase would provide the completed system and may include commissioning and startup, depending on customer’s needs. The system may be installed at the customer’s site or CEI’s New Freedom, Pa., facility.
