Service scope
Define Who Does What Before Mobilization
The contract should distinguish BOYUN supervision or guidance from installation labor, lifting, utilities, consumables, permits and plant operations supplied by the customer or other contractors.
| Phase | BOYUN support when contracted | Customer/site preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Before installation | Review current drawings, sequence and critical interfaces. | Complete civil work, access, storage, lifting plan and qualified installation team. |
| Mechanical completion | Review alignment, assembly, lubrication and connection checklists. | Finish erection, piping, electrical work, guarding, punch list and statutory checks. |
| Cold commissioning | Support rotation, valve, instrument, interlock and utility checks. | Provide authorized operators, safe utilities and completed pre-startup approvals. |
| Wet commissioning | Support controlled introduction of water and slurry and operating adjustment. | Provide stable feed, downstream availability, sampling and laboratory support. |
| Handover | Review records, training and outstanding actions. | Accept deliverables, close punch items and own routine operation. |
Safety before inspection or maintenance
Stop the equipment and isolate all hazardous energy that can cause rotation, vacuum, pressure, stored mechanical movement, electrical energization or chemical exposure. Follow the site lockout and permit procedure; inspection and maintenance must be performed only by authorized personnel.
Site readiness
Prerequisites for an Efficient Start-Up
Confirm readiness before travel, remote session or first rotation.
Mechanical completionSigned checks for assembly, alignment, fastening, guards and lubrication.
Process connectionsFlushed feed, filtrate, vacuum, air, wash and drain systems.
Electrical and controlsEnergization approval, motor checks, interlocks and communication.
Safe accessPlatforms, lighting, lifting, exclusion zones and emergency arrangements.
Operating materialWater, representative slurry, filter media and required consumables.
Project teamNamed commissioning lead, operators, maintenance and laboratory support.
Commissioning sequence1 2 3 4 5
Move from Static Checks to Defined Performance
The actual commissioning plan follows the supplied equipment, site rules and contract.
Static inspection
Confirm assembly, levels, clearances, lubrication and connections.
No-load checks
Test rotation, drives, valves, instruments and interlocks.
Wet start-up
Introduce water and slurry under controlled conditions.
Acceptance and handover
Measure agreed criteria, record settings and train the team.
Acceptance basisProcess Measurement Handover
Agree the Test Before the Test Starts
Record feed conditions, stabilized period, sampling points, laboratory methods, calculation formulas, exclusions and responsibilities. Results outside the agreed feed envelope should trigger engineering review, not an improvised guarantee.
Defined operating window
Feed solids, PSD, temperature, throughput and chemistry must match the agreed test basis.
Shared sampling method
Use identified sample points, frequency, preparation and laboratory procedures.
Training and records
Close operating settings, maintenance actions, spare parts and open items.

Prepare the Project for Start-Up
Use the connected engineering and service pages before commissioning.
Practical answers
Frequently Asked Questions
These answers support project preparation; the final recommendation depends on the actual duty.
Why is representative slurry data required?
Mineral names do not define filterability. Particle-size distribution, mineralogy, clay, reagents, solids and temperature can change cake formation, permeability and release. Use filterability testing when results matter commercially.
What should be sent for a preliminary review?
Provide dry-solids throughput, feed solids, particle-size data, target cake moisture, operating schedule, elevation and available utilities through the quote request.
Can BOYUN promise cake moisture from the mineral name alone?
No. A defensible target must be tied to representative feed data, test conditions, equipment scope and an agreed operating basis.
Define the Next Engineering Step
Share the feed, throughput, operating target and site constraints. BOYUN will identify missing information and recommend testing, sizing or the appropriate equipment scope.
