END USER INTERVIEW
Naderi will provide . To do this , he reviews all relevant design and vendor documents such as datasheets , drawings , specifications , factory acceptance test , performance test criteria , control narrative , alarm , and trip setting list to incorporate required data in the CSU procedures . This includes stepbystep guides and mark up drawings on how to best commission equipment . If there is any requirement to preserve the equipment after commissioning , before going to the start up , required provisions will be addressed in the procedure . Each procedure includes the appendix section to address all of the references and documentation related to this procedure . All deliverables including procedures will be reviewed by the client and upon their approval , the commissioning team will be mobilized to the site . However , the commissioning procedure is a live document which could be modified at the site based on available resources .
Common challenges
Every job has its challenges , but Naderi must constantly be thinking outside of the box . For commissioning of rotating and static equipment , the most challenging part is to ensure all prerequisites are fulfilled as per project requirements . Most should be captured in the precommissioning activities ( e . g ., ensuring proper installation and alignment , proper first fills of consumables , proper priming of mechanical seal systems [ if applicable ], etc .). During commissioning , one should ensure the equipment is working as per design and could reach to the approved performance curve . By monitoring temperature and vibration during commissioning , one can ensure that there is no excessive heat or vibration in equipment . However , in case of any issue , the application will stop , and troubleshooting will be conducted to rectify the issue . The COVID-19 pandemic also came with several challenges for Naderi . However , unlike many other companies in the industry , Naderi said his biggest challenge was not in the supply chain due to the commissioning business nature , but rather in finding manpower and support . “ For certain equipment , you need the vendor to be available at the site and run the equipment under vendor supervision . In addition , whole plant operation logic will be implemented by external company / vendor
