Great Plains Gasification Plant Assessment of Full Gas Production by December 1984

摘要

Full gas production (by definition as 70% of design capacity) can be attained by December 1, 1984 with the following provisions: no disruptive labor problems develop; no major weather disruption occurs; present delivery schedules are met; no major rework is required; and no flagging in the interest and enthusiasm of the people on site. The foregoing conclusion was reached after assessing the reporting of progress to date and forecasting the efforts to complete the construction commensurate with the requirements of the startup schedules. The depth of planning in the precommissioning and commissioning areas was observed and evaluated. If the provisions listed are met success is likely. The Fluor team of people from project management, construction, and cost and scheduling expended approximately one thousand man-hours in collecting, assessing and reporting data to arrive at the conclusion. A more exhaustive study and assessment may have surfaced a major pitfall, but if one exists it will be probably be discovered in the process of detailed planning presently taking place on site. Site management from ANG Construction, Great Plains Plant Operations, and Kaiser display an attitude that bodes well for the successful completion and commissioning of the plant. Of the recommendations listed the following bear reinforcement. It is strongly urged that a maximum effort be expended in the development and statusing of the mini schedules to ensure that major upsets are not occasioned by a minor item. It is also strongly recommended that particular and detailed attention be paid to the sequencing of hydrotesting, insulating and loop checking of each system in order to avoid disruptions in commissioning.
