Pre-commissioning, mechanical commissioning, and process commissioning for oil and gas, gas processing, and industrial facilities, so every system is verified before it is asked to run.
System commissioning is the structured process of verifying that each system in your facility (mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and process) was installed as designed and performs as intended before process fluids are introduced. Construction can be complete while a plant is still far from ready to operate. Commissioning closes that gap.
Total Product Services provides industrial commissioning services for oil and gas producers, gas processors, petrochemical operators, utilities, and power facilities. Founded in 2018, our team brings more than 100 years of combined field experience in process equipment, plant commissioning, and startup. We work system by system, document every test, and hand your operations team a facility they understand and can run.
System commissioning is one part of our broader startup and commissioning services. When a new unit or expansion needs its operating conditions checked before it is built, our process modeling and optimization team can simulate the process so commissioning targets are realistic from the start.
Every project is different, so scope is set around your facility, your contractors, and your schedule. Most engagements cover the four phases below, and we can take on one phase or all of them.
Pre-commissioning services confirm the facility is mechanically ready and clean before any system is energized or pressurized.
Catching a missing spool or a mislabeled valve at this stage costs hours. Finding it during startup costs days.
Mechanical commissioning verifies that rotating and static equipment, piping, and supports are installed correctly and ready for service.
Process commissioning brings systems online with utilities and then process fluids, proving that control and safety systems behave as intended under real conditions.
Once systems are proven, we support the transition from commissioning to steady operation.
See how this phase fits into our full startup and commissioning services.
A repeatable sequence keeps commissioning predictable, even when construction runs late or scope changes. Each step has defined entry and exit criteria, so nobody moves to the next system until the last one is signed off.
Commissioning is only as useful as the record it leaves behind. Typical deliverables include:
Deliverables are formatted to fit your document control system, whether you are an operator, an EPC, or a project owner coordinating several contractors.
We provide industrial commissioning services wherever process equipment has to perform reliably from day one. Typical projects include:
Separators, heater treaters, stabilization and filtration systems, and production facilities brought online in a controlled sequence.
Glycol dehydration units, solid desiccant systems, dew point control, and fuel gas conditioning commissioned to meet pipeline specifications.
Plant commissioning for process units where tight integration between systems, licensors, and utilities makes sequence and documentation critical.
Process heating, water bath heaters, dew point line heaters, and fired equipment that support utility and power operations.
New units tied into operating plants, where commissioning has to be planned around live systems, permits, and production targets.
Factory-tested skids verified again after transport and installation, before they are tied into the rest of the facility.
Our full startup and commissioning services, from system activation and operator support through safety, quality control, and emergency response planning.
Use process modeling and optimization to set realistic commissioning targets and improve performance on existing units before replacing equipment.
Feasibility studies, conceptual design, and project management through our consulting and design team, so commissioning starts with a clear design basis.
Bring us in before construction wraps up. We will help you define commissioning scope, schedule, and staffing so startup stays on plan.
System commissioning is the process of verifying, system by system, that a facility has been installed as designed and performs as intended. It covers mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control, and process systems, and it ends with documented proof that each system is ready for safe operation.
Pre-commissioning happens before systems are energized or filled: walkdowns, cleaning, flushing, pressure test verification, and loop checks. Commissioning follows, bringing systems online with utilities and then process fluids, and testing controls and safety functions under operating conditions.
Mechanical commissioning confirms that equipment, piping, and supports are installed correctly and ready for service. It includes mechanical completion verification, alignment and rotation checks, solo runs of drivers, and relief valve verification.
Commissioning proves each system works. Startup is when the facility is brought into sustained operation and produces product. Our startup and commissioning services cover both, so there is no handoff gap between the two.
Ideally during detailed design. Defining commissioning systems, test requirements, and turnover sequence early lets construction be completed in the order commissioning needs it, which shortens the path to startup.
It depends on the size and complexity of the facility. A single skid-mounted package may take days, while a full gas plant or multi-unit facility can take several weeks to months. We build the schedule with you during planning.
We commission facilities for oil and gas production, gas processing and dehydration, petrochemical and refining, utilities, and power generation, including expansions, tie-ins, and modular skid packages.
You receive commissioning procedures, completed test sheets, punch lists, completion certificates, function test records, startup procedures, performance test results, and a final commissioning dossier for handover.
