Project Sequence
Project Sequence for a Miniplant
Many customers ask us about the procedure of such a project and how long the single steps take.
Even if the projects itself are completely not comparable, the sequence of the procedures is very similar. The time needed for the steps is indeed very much dependent on the persons involved and the complexity of the unit.
| Project step | Weeks | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | First request and clarification of the requirements | 0,5 - 4 |
| 2 | Preparation of the quote | 2 - 6 |
| 3 | Adaption of the quote, several iteration steps possible | 1 - 12 |
| 4 | The customer must get the founding | 2 - 100 |
| 5 | Price and technical comparison by the purchasing department | 2 - 30 |
| 6 | Purchase order | 0 |
| 7 | Detailed engineering, drawings, approval documents + Approval | 3 - 8 |
| 8 | Ordering phase | 8 - 20 |
| 9 | Building phase | 4 - 10 |
| 10 | Test phase | 1 - 6 |
| 11 | Final tests, FAT at AP-Miniplant site, with participation of the end user | 2 - 4 |
| 12 | Shipment | 1 |
| 13 | Connections at the place of installation have to be installed by the customer | 0 - 3 |
| 14 | Commissioning, start-up, SAT with participation of AP-Miniplant personal | 0,2 - 1 |
The above table is a simplified representation of the most important steps. It makes clear that for individually planned plants, even for smaller ones, several months are necessary until it is delivered.
That is why we advise our customers to start the planning early.
Step 1 -> First idea of a solvent supply
Step 3 -> Further developed idea of a solvent supply
Step 7 -> 3 D model of a plant
Step 11 -> Ready assembled plant
Step 12 -> Plant ready to ship
Step 14 -> Finale approval protocoll
