I have project engineering experience and I am from mechanical background. Can someone explain what inputs ate to be given to civil dept. For road design in chemical plant. I just need to know about the inputs and outputs of road design. The outputs will be drawings, I suppose.

Can someone guide me to a trial software that I can use to get s feel of process simulation.

What is the difference between front end engineering design and Front End loading. Literature available on internet mentions FEL as 1, 2, 3 and so on. If someone has worked on both FEED as well as FEL, please guide.

Thanks. Done.

How will you judge whether the FEED package is good enough for Detailed Engineering? What I mean is how will you judge that the FEED package is neither under developed or over developed. In my opinion, an under developed package will bring out various change orders. An over developed FEED might...

In the creation of a chemical process plant, an owner has engaged an engineering contractor to carry out Front End Engg. Design. How will you judge whether the FEED package is good enough for Detailed Engineering? What I mean is how will you judge that the FEED package is neither under developed...

Thank you very much for replying. My question was directed to the design basis in chemical process industry.

Thank you very much for your posts. It was really nice. Before simulation is done, I believe all test cases are collated in to a Process Design Basis.

Thank you very much for your replies, all of you. I had a process plant in mind when I posted the question. This is response to Pennpiper.

Consider this imaginary situation created. Client wants to set up a process plant. Process licensor has provided the technology and made a Basic Engineering Design Package (BEDP). Using this package client has placed an EPC (Engg., Procurement & Construction) order on XYZ company. EPC...

In an EPC project, is the piping design basis the first deliverable. If yes, what activities go into making it?

Thank you very much for your reply. Is the civil design basis the first deliverable for civil dept.? How will the civil design basis me made?

In an Engg. Procurement and Construction project, what the the deliverables produced by the Civil Engg. department during FEED and Detailed Engg. I know foundation drawings and civil works specification. What are the others.

Once simulation has been done, is it correct that there is no need for additional calculations.

A contractor is hired for the creation of a chemical plant by owner though engineering, procurement and construction project (EPC) mode of project delivery. Is the design basis the first document issued? Does each discipline issue a design basis? Is there a overall design basis?
