Secondary cooling water
Review a defined utility circuit separated from process fluids.
Process facilities / utility-side scope
Chemical
piping solutions.
Plan secondary water and cooling services around a documented fluid specification and a clear process-equipment interface.
Application guide · design inputs
Application analysis
Define the process and secondary-utility boundary.
Prepare a service-by-service fluid schedule with composition, concentration, contaminants and operating/design conditions. Identify process streams separately from secondary cooling water and general equipment utilities.
Mark the heat-exchanger or process-package boundary on the drawings. Review wetted materials, seals, joining methods, containment, isolation and inspection requirements for the documented duty. Record material compatibility and the project design basis in the component schedule.
Equipment service packages
Resolve the utility-side interfaces of a process skid.
Plant modification briefs
Build a traceable service and document schedule before selection.

Engineering review
The inputs that change the design.
| Design input | What it changes | Evidence to request |
|---|---|---|
| Fluid definition | Identify the actual chemical and exposure conditions. | Composition, concentration, contaminants and safety information. |
| Corrosion compatibility | Assess all wetted materials and seals. | Competent material review and compatibility evidence. |
| Design basis | Apply the project’s piping code and service category. | Design conditions, component specification and examination plan. |
| Containment boundary | Keep process and utility responsibilities explicit. | Equipment diagrams, isolation and maintenance requirements. |

Questions worth resolving
Before the specification is fixed.
What defines chemical compatibility for selection?
Use the fluid composition, concentration, contaminants, temperature and exposure conditions to assess all wetted materials and seals.
Where should the utility/process boundary be shown?
Mark it at the heat exchanger or process package and identify the fluid and design conditions on each side.
Which documents belong in the component schedule?
Include the fluid specification, material/seal assessment, design conditions and the required inspection, testing and product acceptance records.
