Pre- Commissioning Services are the crucial transition to the successful commencement of any new or altered marine, offshore or industrial system. This is a crucial step that can secure the thorough cleaning of all piping, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation systems, their vigorous testing, and verification with the design specifications to the full extent before a start-up. The employment of professional Pre-Commissioning Services is essential to the efficiency of operations, the safety and regulation in a sphere that is highly challenged by the marine and offshore environment in Singapore.
What Are Pre-Commissioning Services?
Pre-commissioning is a set of stationary inspections and verification tests, which are conducted on the mechanical completion systems, before they are physically ready, clean, and safe to pass on to dynamic testing (commissioning) and, finally, start-up.
- Background: Pre-commissioning refers to a methodical check of separate subsystems and equipment to ascertain proper installation and quality.
- Differences: Pre-commissioning is concerned with the mechanical systems preparation (e.g. checking integrity, flushing). Commissioning entails dynamic testing (e.g. running pumps, controlling flows). The last stage of the process media introduction is start-up.
- Major Tasks: The significant activities will be pressure testing Singapore (hydrotesting/pneumatic), pipelines flushing to obtain process line readiness, initial electrical testing, and working component checks.
The Pre-Commissioning of Marine, Offshore and Industrial Projects
The sure method of de-risking a project is to invest in sound pre-commissioning.
- Makes Systems Clean, Safe and Defect-Free: Cleans construction debris, weld scale, and moisture, which are some of the biggest issues to the safety of operation.
- Early-Detection of Problems: Finds faults in installation (such as improperly installed valves or improperly laid wiring) before they can result in disastrous loss of functionality when the system is fully operational.
- Averts expensive Delays: It is far cheaper to fix and find problems in pre-commissioning than it is to do so during the dynamic start-up phase.
- Compliance Assured: Issues Mandatory documentation in marine compliance testing and class approvals.
- Improves System Performance: A clean verified system ensures improved performance and higher reliability in the long run.
Pre-Commissioning Services of Sun Marine Engineering
Sun Marine Engineering provides focused and quality offshore commissioning services of all disciplines.
Pipeline Flushing & Cleaning
Internal cleaning to get rid of debris. The services offered are hydro flushing, chemical flushing, high velocity air blowing, and specialised hot oil flushing of lubricating and thermal systems.
Pressure Testing
Pipes and tanks are checked in terms of integrity. The services also comprise of hydrotesting services, high-pressure nitrogen testing and sensitive nitrogen leak testing (N2/He) to critical systems.
Mechanical Pre-Commissioning
Checking of proper installation, alignment and operation of both stationary and rotating equipment, such as pumps, valves, and structural checks (mechanical integrity checks).
Testing of Electrical and Instrumentation
Includes insulation resistance check, continuity, control loop functional check, and low-voltage pre-start up electrical check.
System Documentation and certification
Delivering final reports, test certificates, compliance documentation and inspection sign-offs needed to hand over.
Pre-Commissioning Process
Our systematic system preparation process is based on a systematic order that is efficiency and safety-oriented.
- Slipping and Checking of Drawings and Specifications: Critical examination of P&IDs, isometric drawings and class requirements.
- Preparations and Safety, Isolation, and Planning: The introduction of LOTO (Lock-out/Tag-out) and the system security during pre-commissioning work.
- Mechanical Cleaning and Flushing: This involves the implementation of the pipeline cleaning process until the desired level of cleanliness (e.g. ISO Code) is met.
- Pressure Tests and Leak Checks: The integrity tests to make sure that the system is pressure-tight and without any defects.
- Electrical & Instrumentation Check: Testing of sensors, alarm and control circuits to ensure they are working correctly.
- Testing of Components: Checking of the verification of the working of the valves and pumps.
- Documentation & Final Approval: The issue of certificates and final approval to transition to the dynamic commissioning sequence.
