Hello,

As a process design engineer, I don't really know exactly what the FEED (Front end engineering design packge) covers beyond a BDP (Basic design package).
Can anybody give some clue?

Regards,
Leo

Briefly speaking....
A BDP only includes the Process Engineering documents: PFDs, Heat & Material Balances, Sized Equipment List, Utility Consumptions, Process Data Sheets for Equipment, Preliminary Plot Plan.
A FEED also includes P&IDs, Main Instrumentation Data Sheets, MRs of Long Lead & Critical Equipment.

Leo,

A complete FEED would as a minimum include the following:

1. PFDs
2. P&IDS
3. Line List
4. Equipment List
5. Material Selection Report
6. MRs for mechanical (rotary / static) equipment
7. MRs for Instruments
8. MRs for piping material
9. Piping Material Specification
10. MRs for Electrical items (transformers / sub-station)
11. Hazardous Area Classification Drawings
12. Operating, Control & Safeguarding Philosophy
13. Piping General Arrangement Drawings
14. Modeling & Simulation Reports
15. MRs for Civil
16. Fire & Gas Detection Philosophy
17. Equipment Layout and Plot Plans
18. Cause & Effect Diagrams

The above is listed randomly and not in any particular order.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Ankur.

Additionally look at http://www.cheresources.com/invision/topic/12949-feed-front-end-engineering-design, as well as at http://www.cheresour...ing-design-feed '> http://www.cheresour...ing-design-feed , for explanations on the query.

Putting in it rather brief terms ,Basic Design and Engineering package is more or less Process Design work while the FEED incorporates rather broader aspects of downstream engineering.

This also depends on the mode of execution, if the mode of execution is conventional EPCM or EPC then a BDEP package shall be prepared followed by detail engineering by same or different contractors.

In case the project execution mode is LSTK,FEED package has to be made in order to ascertain the cost of LSTK package before awarding the same.
