Conceptual design is the foundational phase of plant planning and optimization. During this phase, the project requirements and the plant operator’s needs are identified in order to develop initial solutions. Key aspects such as functionality, performance, safety, and sustainability are defined, setting the direction for all subsequent steps.
- Foundation and Challenge: Defining project goals and identifying specific challenges.
- Organization: Establishing communication structures and project management processes.
- “Design Basis”: Defining technical specifications and framework conditions.
- “Scope of Options & Variants”: Developing and analyzing concept variants.
- “Feasibility Assessment”: Technical, economic, safety-related, and sustainability-specific feasibility evaluation
- “Evaluation & Final Planning”: Selection and elaboration of the optimal concept.
- “Free for Basic Engineering”: Preparation of a robust cost estimate and a schedule.
- Extensive industry expertise: With comprehensive experience in the planning, construction, operation, and maintenance of complex plants in the chemical process industry, YNCORIS is able to comprehensively assess challenges, develop optimal solutions, prepare well-founded feasibility studies, and competently evaluate various concepts.
- Customized solutions: Individual concepts are developed with a high degree of creativity and extensive expertise in the planning and implementation of customized plant designs that meet the specific economic and environmental requirements of our clients.
- Interdisciplinary expertise: This helps in the application of the latest transformative technologies and innovative processes. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, interactions are taken into account, and potential conflicts of interest are balanced and resolved.
- Certified quality: Following the conceptual design phase and prior to basic engineering, quality assurance is implemented. YNCORIS Engineering projects undergo clear project and quality gates to achieve project objectives using certified processes in accordance with DIN ISO 9001 (Quality Management), DIN ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), DIN ISO 50001 (Energy Management), DIN ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Standards), DIN ISO 27001 (Information Security)
The systematic approach of conceptual design enables the development of innovative and sustainable solutions while helping to identify risks early on and avoid costly changes in later planning phases.
