Procedures


M&H writes commissioning, startup, operating and maintenance procedures for process facilities. Our technical writers are experienced facility operators and maintenance personnel who have been given technical writing training and enhanced computer-related skills.

Operating & Maintenance Procedures


For new facilities, our writers typically draft procedures based on P&IDs, equipment vendor data, and the writers experience. The draft procedures are reviewed with your operations or maintenance staff to improve the technical accuracy of the document and facilitates operator and or maintenance buy in.

For existing facilities our technical writers would interview the facility operators and or maintenance staff. These interviews would be compared to the facilities drawings and any existing procedures. The result of this process would be to update and enhance existing procedures, or create new procedures based on level of detail or regulatory compliance requirements.

The end result is that your operations and maintenance team feel like they have participated in authoring the documents, giving them a sense of empowerment and ownership.

Typically included with the operating procedures is a list of Consequences of Deviation. These can be written for each major equipment item or for each control loop. Normal limits are presented for each operating parameter. Typical deviations are identified as well as likely causes and consequences. Corrective actions are recommended for each. The consequence of deviation documents are required in Process Safety Management regulated facilities but are very useful training and trouble-shooting documents for new operators.

Commissioning Procedures


M&H Energy Services will help develop the facility commissioning plan and schedule to fit your project needs. We will establish milestones and identify critical paths to accomplish the successful integration of construction and precommissioning / commissioning activities. Commissioning procedures are developed utilizing P&IDs, PFDs, manufacturers information and our commissioning expertise and experience. For new facilities our technical writers would typically write initial start-up and draft operations and maintenance procedures based on P&IDs, equipment vendor data and their own experience.
