Elements and Performance Criteria
- Determine processing plan design parameters
- Access, interpret and apply compliance documentation relevant to the designing of new or extensions to existing processing plant
- Identify, interpret and clarify relevant site geological, hydrological, and survey data and use it to development and document the processing plant design parameters
- Identify, interpret and clarify relevant site marketing information and use it to development and document the processing plant design parameters.
- Prepare processing plant design
- Involve internal and external stakeholders in the planning process in a way that uses their contribution effectively and gains their support for the outcomes of each stage of the design process
- Prepare the flowchart/schematic of the plant based on the processing plant design parameters
- Identify and analyse options and select the primary items of plant and equipment to be used in the process based on the processing plant design parameters
- Arrange and supervise the drafting of the general arrangement of the processing plant based on the flowchart/schematic, plant and equipment selected and the processing plant design parameters
- Arrange and supervise the drafting of the preliminary design of the processing plant based on the general arrangement and the processing plant design parameters
- Arrange and supervise the design of the process control system for the processing plant based on the preliminary design and the processing plant design parameters
- Determine and document resource implications of the implementation of the design
- Prepare and present the processing plant business plan/budget, including contingency plans, in accordance with the organisation's requirements
- Arrange and supervise the drafting of the detailed design of the processing plant based on the approved preliminary design, process control system and processing plant design parameters
- Identify and document the specifications for all plant and equipment items required by the processing plant design
- Issue and provide support in the implementation of the design
- Issue and explain the processing plant design to team members and others involved, to facilitate the safe, effective and efficient implementation of the processing plant design
- Provide timely ongoing support and advice to those implementing the processing plant design
- Ensure records and reports are maintained and issued
- Monitor the processing plant design performance against the processing plant design parameters and development and operational budgets
- Resolve anomalies in consultation with relevant stakeholders
- Issue instructions for adjustments to the design and/or its implementation
