The owner has provided the process package – what valuable work can the design institute do?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, the owner provided a detailed process package – is it then the responsibility of the design institute to modify this package to fit its own design format? Are there any other jobs with more value? Except for the piping.

We do have the process package, and the workload related to the process remains the same; in fact, very little has been changed in the content of the process package
There is still a long way to go from the process package to the actual engineering work. All of the equipment used in the process needs to be evaluated, and requests for quotes for those devices must be prepared. The information provided in the process package is insufficient; not to mention the piping system. Apart from those highly capable Class A comprehensive engineering firms, if you give a complete process package to an engineering firm that has no experience in designing such devices or similar ones, it’s clear whether they will dare to take on the project or not Engineering design is under a lifetime responsibility system
A design institute turns your process package ideas into products. From the process outlined on the PID paper, it becomes a real factory.
It seems they have gone to work; they chose a place in the city after all. There is a process package, and it is necessary to review specifications regarding fire separation distances, safety distances, etc. Redesign the layout plan, piping diagram, and general plan, and provide a material list, etc
This actually relates to the layout of pipes and equipment, but since all the process-related details are already included in the process package, does the design institute have little value to offer in terms of process design?
Design the process technology, equipment and selection, material selection, and utility systems
Since the owner has taken care of the process calculations and PID, the process engineering aspect is practically complete. For other fields, it’s equipment engineering, civil engineering, instrumentation and electrical systems, and general layout design, I guess
Are the processes, equipment, and process packages all included?
The process package is not very specific; only the specific process operating conditions are detailed. The pipe sizes, as well as auxiliary equipment such as pumps, all need to be designed
