3.4 Q Captains
The Q Captains are also not part of the system team, but are the cornerstone of a Flawless
program focused on Q areas (Ref: Section 10.2), they will provide help support and continued
focus on Q areas to the project and system teams. The EPCM / IC Q Captain are
accountable to the EPCM / IC Project Manager.
The key roles and responsibilities are listed below;
The Q Captain is authorized to lead and implement the FSI plan for his Q Area
To lead, plan, direct & control all FSI activities related to his Q Area. Primary areas of
concern include work plan, FSI awareness, health checks of EPCM and ICs and Q Area data
base management
To lead the implementation of FSI in the respective Q Area
To prepare a working plan, and apply it through the project
To monitor the execution of the potential flaws mitigating action
To ensure that FSI is considered in the relevant project activities
To own the Q Area registers and documents
To report regularly to management, and take corrective actions in case of not meeting
the plan or the Lead KPIs
To identify and participate in Q syndicate
4.1.7 Tie-ins
Tie-ins are an integral part of the corresponding system, unless otherwise specified. Tie-ins
that are required independently of the corresponding system, e.g. tie-ins to third parties
(electrical grid etc.) shall be clearly marked and assigned a separate system number.
4.1.10 Cleanliness
The cleanliness aspects are addressed in the flushing, blowing, jetting and or steam blowing
activities during the (pre)-commissioning phase. The Systems PEFS should be used as a
starting point to develop the details for these activities. During the systems definition phase
as a minimum a check needs to be done to verify that the bulk of the tightness packages >
99% are not crossing any system boundaries.
Shell Project No.: HP-3000-QAT Contractor name: Unit: 0-0000
4.1.12 Testing
Testing activities are identified on a systems level and defined in the activity sheets. In the
WEFS we typically highlight any testing activities to present a high level overview of the
defined test.
Notes:
Civil & Structural codes
Instrument, DSC & telephone etc. codes
New or modified codes (In bold type)
Examples:
The Hydrocracker in train 1 is unit 1-4000; the start-up block comprises of the whole unit and
is numbered 1-40-A0. The feed pre-heater system of the Hydrocracker would have number
1-40-A0-P00.
The Hydrocracker in train 1 is unit 1-4000; the start-up block comprises of the whole unit and
is numbered 1-40-A0. An electrical supply system for this start-up block could be 1-40-A0-
ES0.
This numbering system shall also be used during system definition and throughout the life of
the project as part of the system based FSI program.
Note: All equipment, piping etc. to the left side of the system break symbol is in the scope
of system 1-40-A0-P00, where as all equipment piping etc. to the right side of the
symbol is in the scope of 1-40-A0-P01.
In addition to the above the following information block will be completed and added in the
same way covering the original drawing title block.
It is preferred that the systemisation colour coding is also marked up electronically in the
same way using the intelligent CAD package. However, if this is not feasible for a particular
intelligent CAD package or considered to costly or time consuming, colour coding by hand
for each issue of the system definition drawings is acceptable. For a hand mark-up a fresh
set of drawings incorporating the systems breaks and the information block shall be printed
off and marked up for colour coding of the individual systems so they can be easily
recognised when looking at the drawing. For each unit / facility a System Identification List
shall be compiled, showing assigned system engineers, system number, system descriptions

8.1 Correspondence
All email correspondence relating to a particular system shall have the unique system
identifier at the start of the subject line; if the correspondence is relating to an interface issue
between two systems the subject shall start with the system identifier from the originating

correspondences is given below.
10.2.1 Q1 Tightness
The Tightness Q-area addresses engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning
and start-up risks to producing a tight system, and identifies the required measures to ensure
that these risks are adequately mitigated.
This is to prevent internal and external leaks occurring during shop-testing, construction (e.g.
hydro-testing), commissioning, start-up and the initial operation through to the first scheduled
major maintenance turnaround.
Tightness of a system has two elements, external and internal.
External tightness focuses on the leak free operation of all system connections including
flanges, caps, clamps, manholes, pump casings, compressor casings, instrument fittings,
and all other joints that require sealing for operation of a system
Internal tightness focuses on the internal leak free operation of valves, especially valves
classified as ESD (Emergency Shutdown), TSO (Tight shut off) and any other valves
required for containment of fluids within a system.
See reference 20 for further information
10.2.2 Q2 Cleanliness
The Cleanliness Q-area addresses engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning
and start-up risks to producing clean systems, and identifies the required measures to
ensure that these risks are adequately mitigated.
Before commissioning of systems can precede, removal of sand, dirt, scale, stones, welding
slag water, and all other debris from piping systems, columns, vessels, reactors etc. must be
accomplished such that the plant is clean. Debris and dirt within a system can cause many
problems and delays during start-up and could even result in equipment damage.
See reference 21 for further information
10.2.3 Q3 Integrity
Functional Integrity is defined as the system or component functioning as it was intended to
in the original design. Failure to operate in accordance with the design intent can have
unforeseen consequences ranging from a requirement for additional operator intervention
and consequential delays to the start-up through to a complete failure and resultant
shutdown of the facilities.
Functional Integrity is far reaching and as a result has been divided into the following six
areas:
Process integrity (See reference 22 for further information)
Static equipment integrity (See reference 23 for further information)
10.2.6 Q6 Prototypes
Prototypes are defined as any new process, piece of equipment, components in a piece of
equipment, packaged unit, or novel application with which there is no sufficient operating
experience yet. Prototype and novel are synonyms from the flawless start-up point of view.
For practical purposes, a distinction is made between:
Process Prototypes i.e. Major Equipment Component
Equipment Prototypes i.e. Packaged, and Standard Equipment
Opinion of what constitutes novelty will vary. For equipment prototypes, Contractors
engineers will need to employ their engineering judgement, in consultation with Vendors, to
identify equipment viewed as novel in terms specified requirements, and size, material
selection, process fluid, manufacturing methods, quality changes, material substitutions, new
combinations of known elements, or process requirement.
The process of managing prototypes includes the following steps:
Identification and recording,
Risk assessment
Definition of the mitigating actions,
Implementation
Monitoring of performance during the initial operating phase.
Mitigating actions may comprise design changes, design verification, dynamic simulation,
testing, specific procedures, extra training, monitoring during initial operations phase,
readiness for field modifications, etc. As some prototype mitigations may involve testing and
hence should be considered during systemisation.
See reference 30 & 31 for further information
10.2.7 Q7 Complexity
A complex system is defined as any system for which the operation, the functioning or the
internal mechanics is not immediately obvious to an experienced operator and that would
require him to consult documents like plant/equipment manuals and drawings for a full
understanding of it.
Complexity in the context of this flawless start-up initiative is restricted to functional or
plant/equipment systems only. Other forms of complexity are not considered, like project
execution, project organization, etc.
The process of managing complexity includes the following steps:
Identification and recording
Risk assessment
Definition of the mitigating actions

10.2.8 Q8 Testing
The "Testing Q" part of the Flawless Start-up Initiative involves all the necessary activities to
be carried out to define and execute a systematic and structured commissioning functional
test programme that results in both a "first time right" start-up and plant performance as per
design.
The failure to apply a comprehensive and structured testing plan will result in system failures
interrupting the commissioning and start-up programme causing costly delays.
The following philosophies are to be followed in consideration of testing:
A holistic approach to testing is required, recognising that components shall be built
into systems. Each successive test shall be based on a logical sequence of testing.
All specified tests of both components and systems shall be carried out at the earliest
opportunity and at the lowest "severity" level to minimise impact of failure and to allow
maximum time for any rectification work that may be required. "Lowest severity" here
means utilizing benign fluids at low temperatures and pressures when it is practicable
to do so.
The scope of testing of components and systems shall be maximized in order to
minimize start-up flaws, subject to such tests yielding meaningful results and being
cost effective. The cost of a particular test is to be evaluated against the risk that is
being mitigated by the particular test.
Engineering design should have a positive role in formulating the commissioning and
start-up testing programme.
Particular attention shall be paid to the adequacy of testing plans in respect of
prototypes, critical equipment and complex systems.
Consideration shall also be given to "opportunity tests" (such as load shedding on a
gas turbine trip) to ensure that required data is gathered on an opportunity basis
rather than necessarily with a prescribed test.
Particular attention shall be given to testing requirements during systemisation such
that the test can wherever possible be completed within a defined system.
See reference 33 for further information
10.2.9 Q9 Experience
Experience is defined as establishing a competency base in the organisation that has the
responsibility for completing the new facilities designed, built and in operation with a flawless
