PURPOSE
To commission and start-up new equipment and processes in a safe controlled manner. This
procedure will insure that systems operate as intended by Cargill

SCOPE
This document contains the check out procedure. The key item to remember is that we will
be commissioning systems. We need to be very clear as to what a system is defined as and be
proactive in making sure the system is complete.

PERFORMED BY
Commissioning Team (The team will be made up of production, project and maintenance
personnel.)

SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIROMENTAL CONCERNS


 When performing task outside the control room proper PPE is required. Hard hat,
safety glasses, safety boots, hearing protection and proper gloves.
 Permits Required: None
 All safety policies and procedures must be followed during all task’s

QUALITY CONCERNS
Quality insurance team will be involved in system approval process before systems can be
put into service.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Hazard Analysis:
Areas that require a hazard analysis must be reviewed by the Department Team Leader or his
designate. This will require a final sign-off in the PSSR by the Department Team Leader.

Commissioning Terms:
This is a list of common commissioning terms you will find within this SOP.

PROCEDURE
Systems:
Areas will need to be divided into manageable systems to allow for detailed checkout and
verification. Systems will need to be well defined. Each system will be chosen to be a small
tangible piece of the plant that would be possible to isolate and complete in its entirety. The
systems are process based. The system will cover peripheral equipment that are not
necessarily directly linked to the process system such as fire extinguishers, sanitation
equipment, fall protection, signage, grating, handrails, ect.

Start-up Map:
Once the systems are defined, they will be incorporated into a start-up map to show the
sequence that each system would need to be started up in.

Schedule:
Once the systems and start-up sequences are defined a check out, commissioning, and start-
up schedule will be developed. There will need to be main milestones indentified in
developing the schedule:

There needs to be (1) set of neatly unmarked P&ID’s in the binder that has all
the items in that system.

P&ID Worksheet:
This is where you will put the P&ID worksheet. As you perform you final
walk down, use a highlighter to check off the new and/or modified system
against the P&ID. We want to ensure that what is in the field matches what is
on the P&ID.
You can use any color of highlighter you choose for this task except for red. If
you come across anything in the field that does not match what is on the
P&ID, use a red marker to capture the on the P&ID. Capture all
“INFIELD”/P&ID mismatches as a deficiency.

Commissioners Responsibilities:

INSTRUMENT CHECK OUT


 Check out crew will be responsible for the check out of all valves (both control and
digital) in their area.
 During the line walk, air should be turned on to all valves
 If valves are fused, they can be checked during the walk through. The check should
encompass all aspects of the loop from field verification to the DCS graphics.
 Technicians are required to do the calibration on all control valves
 Technicians are required to check the fail position on all valves
 Technicians are required to open and close the valve and make sure it works as
planned
 Any problems with the valve should be listed on a valve checkout sheet in the field
notes section and logged into the PSSR Deficiency Summary Report.
 In addition, the valve should get a red dot attached, which makes it easier for the
Instrument technicians to find it. Be very specific regarding the problem and the
location on the valve check out sheet.
 All instruments and valves with a red dot, initialed and dated when they work
properly.
 Fail position on valves must be confirmed both electrically and pneumatically.
 Only people properly trained can do any final checkout!!

PLACE MARKERS
 Near valves, flanges and changes in pipe direction
 At both sides of ceiling, wall or floor penetrations
 At any line entry point
 At frequent intervals on straight pipe runs (every 20 feet is typical)
 Locate pipe markers so they are visible from the point of normal approach
 Provide arrows at one or both ends of the label to indicate direction of flow

COMMISSIONING DEFICIENCY REPORT


During the process of commissioning, chances are you will encounter deficiencies of one sort
or another. The term deficiency is defined as “the quality or state of, being deficient or
inadequate”. With that being said, a new or modified system can not be given the “green
light” unless the following requirements are met:

 A System Checkout Book is made.


 All required components of the System Checkout Book is completed. All required
components are either to be filled in as “YES”, “NO”, or “NA”. If any of the required
Checkout Book components are answered “NO”, that would be a deficiency.
 All commissioning deficiencies will be hand written on the PSSR (Pre Start-up Safety
Review) form. The form is the last page of the PSSR. Deficiencies will be
documented as you find them. Never commit a deficiency to memory.
 All deficiencies must be assigned to an owner. The owner will usually be the
designated Checkout Book component approver.
 The deficiency will then be given a resolution due date that will be agreed upon by
the Commissioning Technician and the deficiency owner. If a resolution due date
cannot be agreed on, the Commissioning Superintendent will assign one.
 Once the above items are completed, you must get your final PSSR signatures from

 After giving the new or modified system a “green light”, you can now create the
Commissioning Deficiency Report.
 To create the Commissioning Deficiency Report, please see the Commissioning
Deficiency Report SOP.

P&ID’S
 You are responsible to walk the system versus the P&ID worksheet. Any
discrepancies between what are in the P&ID and what is in the field needs to be
marked-up in red on your P&ID worksheet set in the binder. These need to be very
neat, in red using straight edges, etc.
 Get a copy of the most recent master P&ID’s.
 While walking down the system, take a colored highlighter (besides red) and
highlight the P&ID worksheet if what is “infield” matches what is shown in the
P&ID.
 Once you have identified any changes on the P&ID’s, document as a deficiency in the
PSSR (see PSSR question 4a.) and notify Brian Combs immediately to get these
captured on the AS-BUILT Prints. We want our final P&ID set to represent exactly
what is in the field.
 Follow the P&ID worksheet carefully.
 Do only one piece of equipment or line at a time. Do not criss-cross for convenience
 Mark deficiencies as you go . Do not try to develop a deficiency list based on
memory

WALK LINE VERSUS MASTER SET OF P&ID’S:


General Piping
 Flow direction of all bi-directional devices
 Correct size and fittings
 Valves
 Install all plugs for open-ended valves.
 Install plugs in open-ended nipples, ect…
