The FAT consisted in (i) the revision of the installation according to the P&ID – by ENGIE and Stühff GmbH, (ii) the realisation of the leakage test – by ENGIE and Stühff GmbH, (iii) the evaluation of the correct functioning of critical alarms – by FBK, ENGIE and Stühff GmbH, and finally (iv) the check on the correct functioning of the state machine and of the control loops – by FBK, ENGIE and Stühff GmbH.
