Instrumentation And Control Project For Process Plant

By Muneek Shah (AM 2112)

Documentation
Good documentation practices have to be enforced from

the preliminary engineering phase of the project.

Owners ensure this by enforcing review and approval

cycles and maintaining a system of documentation.

The three Cs criteria for good documentation:
Completeness Correctness Consistency

Criteria Document
Every project needs to satisfy unique requirements, which

the whole project team should be aware of from the beginning so that the project ends in success.

Criteria document helps focus efforts on the requirements

of the system, indicating physical, economic, or logistical constraints that are applicable and the standards to which the system needs to comply.

Preferred Vendors/Technology List

Organizations are often pre-committed to a certain brand

or flavor of technology for various valid reasons, such as:

The plant is already using the brand or technology, which means spares

are available, operators need not be retrained, components have siteproven reliability Certain vendor architectures are a better fit for certain kinds of process

Identifying the preferred vendors at the beginning of the

project has several advantages

I&C Project Life-Cycle

Preliminary engineering/feasibility study
