Design & Engineering of Process Equipment

Process-equipment design and engineering form part of the turnkey plant and equipment-manufacturing packages supplied by ATTOMO. The agreed scope defines process, thermal and mechanical design responsibilities, fabrication drawings and inspection documentation. ATTOMO does not offer standalone consultancy.

Process and equipment approach

The design basis should establish the process duty, material selection, mechanical conditions, interfaces and inspection requirements. Drawings and quality plans then translate the agreed basis into fabrication and testing requirements.

Applications and product requirements

Process-equipment engineering translates a process requirement into equipment duties, specifications and fabrication information. ATTOMO supports enquiries for complete process sections, individual equipment and manufacture to approved drawings. The scope should identify who owns process design, thermal rating, mechanical design and final performance acceptance.

Equipment and operating approach

A typical engagement begins with feed or fluid data, capacity, operating cases and site interfaces. The design basis is then developed into the agreed equipment specifications and drawings. Engineering deliverables may include equipment lists, general arrangements, nozzle schedules, material requirements and inspection documentation. The agreed document schedule identifies the deliverables included in the order.

Scope of supply

Define the right package.

The quotation defines the included equipment, services and battery limits.

  • Process and mechanical design responsibilities as agreed
  • Fabrication drawings and equipment interfaces
  • Material, welding and inspection requirements
  • Quality documentation and test records

Materials and configuration

Material selection considers corrosion, pressure, temperature, cleaning, fabrication and product contact. Equipment and piping interfaces, access, supports and transport constraints should be checked before manufacture. Changes during engineering need a recorded effect on scope, cost, schedule and any performance commitments.

Utilities and operation

For heat-transfer or rotating equipment, provide thermal duties or mixing requirements in addition to mechanical dimensions. Define utility conditions and electrical or control interfaces. Inspection hold points, document review, site erection and commissioning assistance are agreed with the customer according to the package.

Project questions

Frequently asked questions

Can ATTOMO manufacture to a customer-approved design?

A fabrication package can be based on approved drawings and specifications. State the design authority and who retains responsibility for process performance and calculations.

What is needed when drawings are not yet available?

Start with the application, capacity, fluid properties, operating cases, product target and site constraints. These inputs allow the required engineering scope to be defined.

How is a complete plant distinguished from equipment supply?

Use a scope matrix covering engineering, procurement, fabrication, utilities, civil works, installation, controls and commissioning. Define each interface and exclusion.

Automation and instrumentation engineering

Plant engineering must connect equipment duties with the control-system boundary. Define field-instrument specifications, I/O responsibilities, control schematics, operator displays, sequences, alarm/interlock requirements and the required documentation. The project determines the PLC, SCADA or DCS arrangement and third-party interfaces.

For integration with an existing system, provide the platform details, available drawings, communications requirements and access arrangements. Software licences, panel supply, field installation, testing and commissioning responsibilities are itemised in the proposal. Safety-system requirements are separately reviewed against the project design basis.
