The document provides an overview of commissioning for a metallurgical plant. It discusses what commissioning is, the terminology and sequence of commissioning. The commissioning process includes pre-commissioning, cold commissioning, and hot commissioning. Pre-commissioning involves checking equipment integrity. Cold commissioning involves testing individual systems like cooling water, compressed air. Hot commissioning includes initial firing, steam blowing, and synchronizing the turbine. The document then discusses testing procedures for various equipment and systems.

1.1 What is Commissioning
The primary objective of metallurgical plant commissioning is to ensure that all
systems and equipment of a plant are installed, tested, operated, and
maintained according to the operational requirements of the client. For large
projects, this process usually comprises planning, execution, and control of
thousands of inspection and test activities on sections to be com-missioned,
and these include instrumentation, control loops, and all electrical and
mechanical equipment.
The process of commissioning is integrated into various phases. This is
executed by the project team and includes the plant operational and
engineering staff as well as the con-tractors responsible for the installation and
cold commissioning. The overriding factor is the attention to detail required
with respect to safety of people, protection of equipment and the environment.

1.2 Terminology
1.2.1 Pre-Commissioning
Pre-Commissioning activities start when the plant, or system, achieves
Mechanical Completion. Frequently however, Pre-Commissioning
activities overlap Mechanical Completion activities and for this reason
the plant should be separated into easily manageable system package,
each system package will be Pre-Commissioned as a whole and
isolations at the boundaries of the system package will be maintained
until the completion of Pre-Commissioning activities.
Pre-Commissioning activities include: checking for design conformity,
checking the status of electrical, mechanical and instrument such as
calibration, loop check, line check, insulation resistance, relay setting,
flushing , blowing and cleaning activities.

1.2 Terminology
2. Cold-Commissioning
Cold Commissioning means individual equipment and system
commissioning and initial startup such as CCW system, compressed air
system and feed water system etc.
Cold Commissioning activities include: checking for design conformity,
checking the status of individual equipment and system capability,
function, interlock and reliability.
7. 6
1.2 Terminology
3. Hot-Commissioning
Hot commissioning means the commissioning of the plant level. In
general, the commissioning activity after initial firing belongs to the hot
commissioning
Hot Commissioning activities include : Initial firing, Steam blowing,
Turbine bypass operation, Synchronizing and plant level function test.
