After a major overhaul of a chemical plant, is it necessary to conduct individual unit tests? Is it required to prepare a testing plan? Are there any standards for single-unit testing?
The major maintenance of a chemical plant refers to providing the conditions for maintenance during this period. Such as water supply interruptions, power outages, and disruptions in material delivery. After completing the maintenance of each unit, and once the maintenance of the networking connections between these units is finished (such as the maintenance of valves and electrical components at the process nodes), it is possible to supply electricity and water so that the units can begin testing. First, the auxiliary units are powered up for testing; once they pass the tests, auxiliary materials such as oxygen, nitrogen, and steam are introduced into the system. Then the main production unit organizes the receipt and allocation of various materials for trial production based on the situation; if any problems arise, temporary measures are taken to address them, and once there are no issues, normal production can proceed. Therefore, a monocoque vehicle is essential.
Chemical plant commissioning generally refers to the testing carried out after a new plant is completed, and it includes individual unit tests as well as integrated system tests. After the major repair, as long as the startup plan and safety requirements are prepared and approved by the relevant **department in charge, can it then proceed with startup?

Depending on the actual situation, some are necessary while others are not; it’s impossible to apply a one-size-fits-all approach.
It needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis; one cannot rely solely on standards – the actual condition of the equipment also matters
Single-unit testing refers to new projects; it is not necessary to carry it out after major repairs
There are standards for the commissioning of new projects. I haven’t heard of any standards for commissioning after major repairs; I think it would be advisable to follow the guidelines outlined in those commissioning standards to determine how to proceed
