At a glance

  • Start-up inspection test: instrument orientation, installation conditions, wiring connections, insulation test, grounding effects, factory configuration, power stability, and more
  • Communication reliability test: simulation of all necessary loop tests on analogue and digital I/Os (Modbus, 4...20 mA, HART, FOUNDATION fieldbus, PROFIBUS, etc.)
  • Meter zero point verification test
  • Diagnostic alarm settings and test: confirmation and adjustment of alarm settings on-site with the customer to avoid any unnecessary false alarm – e.g. low flow cut-off setting, etc.
  • Meter verification test: final functionality and assurance test for assurance to the end user that the instrument is performing according to KROHNE factory test and specifications
  • Final documentation and test report: all documentation and reports (e.g. for proof test documentation of safety loops and quality management systems) are provided to the client after the completion of start-up and commissioning
  • Additional start-up and commissioning services: FAT/SAT support, parameter reconfiguration on-site, external process pressure/temperature compensation configuration, etc.

Your challenge

Correct commissioning and start-up is critical to the reliable and safe operation of process instrumentation. Faulty commissioning can lead to measurement issues with implications for process and occupational safety. Avoiding start-up problems is therefore a top priority. This is particularly true when time is of the essence and instrumentation needs to be up and running without delay. However, integration into complex production environments with advanced requirements, e.g. safety and other regulatory aspects, requires expertise and skills that customers may not be able to cover in all facets.

Our service

This is why KROHNE offers the start-up & commissioning service to ensure that your process instruments are set up correctly and work as they should from the start.

Wherever KROHNE instruments are installed, certified KROHNE service engineers are on hand to provide the best possible service, from on-site analysis to workflow recommendations to commissioning, on-site testing and configuration. In this way, we help our customers get the most out of their instrumentation, contributing to overall plant performance and safety in a timely manner.

Start-up and commissioning services from KROHNE optimise your plant performance and measurement accuracy from the start of your process. In doing so, we draw on several sources: latest technology for online and wireless parametrisation and commissioning, proven in-situ verification tools and, of course, our decade-long expertise.

Your added value

  • Seamless integration of process instrumentation into the existing infrastructure
  • Customised product configuration to suit the application requirements and process parameters (flow ranges, etc.)
  • High degree of process integrity due to operation in accordance with specifications and in line with industrial requirements
  • Increased reliability of measurement as configuration and functionality of instruments is thoroughly tested during instrument set-up
  • Proven and tested standard commissioning procedures and tests enable trouble-free operation of process instrumentation right from the start
  • Time-saving and cost-effective handling thanks to the technical expertise and experience of KROHNE service engineers
