Planning and Preparation Action 1: Technical specifications and pre-installation work:
To perform the demonstration in Tasks 3-5, prototypes and equipment need to be placed in a suitable building at Skånefrö. The planned capacities for the building and installation (equipment and prototype) are production of up to 200 tonnes pellets/week. Action 1 consists of planning and preparing for the building, construction and installation in order to coordinate all technical, safety and environmental aspects. It is important to have clear roles and responsibilities when the actual work starts and that is why definition of interface and guarantee levels for purchase of hardware and external assistance will be completed at an early stage. In January 2006, the drawings of the building will be drawn up and application forms for construction permit will be handed to the planning authority in Simrishamns municipality. At the same time a declaration will be made to the environmental and health authority and the technical office, the rescue services, municipal commissioner and the undertaking committee of the municipality will be
Participants’ responsibilities:
The Project Management Group at Skånefrö will perform this task together with relevant technicians and administrative personnel. Methods: To avoid mistakes in construction, two different drawings will be drawn up, the best will be selected and a definite construction drawing will be made from this. Suppliers and contractors will be approached to give the proper detailed information about their assignments (needs and requirements to be able to deliver their commission according to contracts etc.) All the planning documentation will be reviewed especially regarding design, dimensioning and drawings. Activities of technical character will be coordinated in order to start the construction and installation according to schedule. External assistance will be used when needed.
Progress Indicators:
The results from the actions in this task will be reported at regularly planned meetings where all principal actors will be present. If problems occur they will immediately be reported to the Project Management Group. Contracts with all suppliers will be signed by July 2006.
Targets and Expected results:
The building construction and machinery position will make the machinery easy to reach both for demonstration and service. The target is to create a good understanding regarding all engineering aspects for the parties involved before starting the actual construction. This means to solve all technical issues connected to the construction and installation parts of the project that might occur while still on the drawing board. The main target is to ensure that all responsibilities and interface between suppliers, sub-suppliers and assigners are defined and that a safe working environment can be handled with care during construction and installation. The target is to get construction permit at the 1^st of May 2006 and at the latest to start building the 1^st of September 2006.
Constraints and Assumptions:
As in all planning stages of a large project there is a possibility to find more difficult construction conditions than originally anticipated. However, the responsible suppliers are experienced building contractors which ensures quality in this task. Delays in approvals from the municipality must also be accounted for. We have taken this under consideration when setting the time-schedule for this project and specifically for this task, but in worst-case scenario we have to prolong the duration period. As the building will be complex and several aspects (technical, security, environmental) have to be taken into consideration the success of this action is necessary to perform the rest of the project without problems. However, the Project Management Group have extended experience in the area and are aware of the complexity.
Action 2: Development and agreement on test and evaluation methods
Method:
Produce a plan two evaluate performance describing each step (what to test, how to perform test) including all parameters that requires evaluation as CO, O2, NO, THC (OGC), SO2, energy, ash level, density and describe test methods used (when to take samples, how to calculate results). Thereafter it is possible to define test environment and equipment required/order equipment. Identify and compile reporting documents and methods for evaluation tests to be performed in the project. Suitable test methods have to be agreed to measure the output from the demonstrations performed in task 3-5. A common basis for process calculation and optimization has to be agreed upon and possible constraints and approximations defined.
Expected results:
Test plan and specifications. Reporting documents for the evaluation phases.
Assumptions and Constraints:
Possible disagreement on test methods and evaluation of test results. If this occurs, the Project Management Group together with the Steering Committee will take the final decision on what methods should be used. The Project Management Group will make sure that the tests and evaluation methods are relevant, reliable and verifiable so that project results will be accepted and respected by the dissemination target groups.
