What matters in the process
A dry run cannot prove material-specific moisture, purity or solids capture. Likewise, a successful process trial does not replace dimensional checks, document review or protective-function testing. The acceptance plan should state instruments, test duration, feed conditions, sample methods and who witnesses each item. Open points need an agreed closure process.
A practical example
A centrifuge may pass its factory mechanical run yet encounter a restrictive discharge conveyor at site. The machine result and the integrated-system result must be distinguished. Include relevant pumps, valves, instruments and control interfaces in the site test boundary so responsibility for a failed condition can be traced.
What to check or specify
- Create separate FAT and SAT checklists.
- Define process performance conditions and measurement methods.
- Agree documents, witnesses and open-point handling.
- Record instrumentation and sampling responsibilities.
Turn the result into a decision
Link payment and acceptance discussions to clear, reviewable milestones rather than vague terms such as successful operation. The final contract and approved test protocol should control. For a complete package, verify both equipment functions and the coordinated process sequence.
