APPLICATION CONTEXT

Start from the operating basis.

Recover and integrate process heat around the plant steam balance, operating flexibility and lifecycle economics. TMCE treats the process duty, equipment, materials, utilities, controls and maintainability as one connected system.

Final capacity, performance, emissions, material and utility figures are project-specific. They are confirmed after the feed, site and operating envelope have been reviewed.

ENGINEERING SEQUENCE

Develop the system in connected stages.

Each stage is defined with upstream, downstream, utility, control and maintenance interfaces.

01

Define the operating basis

Resolve process, mechanical, utility, control and maintenance requirements for this stage.

02

Select the process / equipment route

Resolve process, mechanical, utility, control and maintenance requirements for this stage.

03

Integrate system interfaces

Resolve process, mechanical, utility, control and maintenance requirements for this stage.

04

Commission and sustain operation

Resolve process, mechanical, utility, control and maintenance requirements for this stage.

DESIGN PRIORITIES

The decisions that shape a reliable system.

01 · DESIGN

Plant-wide heat and steam balance

Confirm this requirement against normal, turndown, startup, shutdown and upset conditions.

02 · DESIGN

Pressure levels and steam quality

Confirm this requirement against normal, turndown, startup, shutdown and upset conditions.

03 · DESIGN

Turndown, startup and bypass cases

Confirm this requirement against normal, turndown, startup, shutdown and upset conditions.

04 · DESIGN

Boiler, exchanger and control interfaces

Confirm this requirement against normal, turndown, startup, shutdown and upset conditions.
