The deliverables of the Basic Engineering stage include the following documents:

01 Process Design

Process Design Criteria – a document establishing the process design criteria for the project: capacity, operating mode, feed and product parameters, balances, recoveries, requirements for equipment, redundancy, reagents, water, automation, HSE and operating constraints.

Mass & Water Balance – qualitative and quantitative balance flowsheets, water-slurry flowsheets, metal balance and water balance.

Equipment List – a master list (specification) of core process equipment containing detailed technical, weight and dimensional characteristics sufficient for procurement purposes.

Overall Flow Diagram – the main process flowsheet (OPFD): processing stages, capacity, operating modes, material streams, reagents and key process parameters.

Electrical Single-Line Diagrams (SLDs)

Electrical Load Calculation

02 Drawing

3D Models (basic models showing equipment locations) – a 3D layout model showing the placement of core process equipment, with reserved areas for utilities and equipment.

Overall site layout plan – layout of the Main Process Line on the general site plan.

Overall site elevations & sections – main elevations and sections.
