Activity phases on site

Construction comprises all the activities needed to build the plant, including the erection of equipment, together with the inspections and tests carried out throughout this phase. 

Pre-commissioning covers the static checks and preparation works carried out on the completed plant. 

Commissioning is essentially all actions to prepare the completed plant for start-up and to prove the integrity of the plant without the introduction of raw materials. 

Stait-up is the initial attempts to run the plant for the purpose for which it is intended, that is, from an input of raw material to give an output of the finished product. 

Performance testing is to prove the ability of the complete plant to produce within the parameters defined contractually.
