9). Commissioning
If the pumping equipment is not installed, operated and maintained correctly it can lead to failure,
void warranty and cost time and money.
The commissioning of the set assures all systems and components of the equipment supplied are
installed, tested, operated and maintained according to the operational requirements of the system.
The commissioning process comprises of a set of engineering philosophies and procedures that
inspect and test every operational component of the equipment, from individual functions such as
instrumentation and control logic, through to the full operation of the system.
The main objective of commissioning is to provide the safe and orderly handover of the unit to the
customer, guaranteeing its operability in terms of performance, reliability and safety.
Pre-start up
Accumulator Pressure Vessel
The accumulator expansion pressure vessel is designed to act as a hydraulic buffer between the
pumps and the system helping to reduce the number of starts per hour of the pumps.
During commissioning the pressure vessel/s will be pre-charged with either dry clean air or oxygen
free nitrogen gas. This must be checked and adjusted if necessary, on a regular basis to maintain
the correct operation of the system.
Pumps
Ensure the pump/s have been filled with liquid, primed and bled before operation and are running in
the correct direction and rotation as indicated on the pump/s.

We recommend the unit is commissioned and subsequently
serviced biannually by a fully trained KGN Pillinger engineer.
