Surface Finishing Facility Commissioning:Bridging Facility Design and Construction with Facility Operationsand Maintenance

摘要

Good facility design and construction is a formalized process. Surface finishing processesrnare complex and are usually developed by others. In addition these processes must oftenrncomply with multiple standards and surface finishing processes are interdependent and mustrnfunction as a system. This adds complexity to the design and construction. Commissioningrnnormally begins at the completion of construction and can include: testing of the individualrncomponents, processes and systems, acceptance testing, training, and short term operationsrnsupport. Planning for a commissioning phase in the project provides an opportunity to validaternand optimize processes and equipment, chemistries, process control methods, operation andrnmaintenance procedures, and implement changes if necessary. This paper will detail the facilityrncommissioning work completed at Helwan AFB, Egypt. In addition it will identify opportunitiesrnto streamline the design and start up process minimizing the time until production begins.
