Factory acceptance for a prefabricated water plant
Separate tests that can be completed at the factory from performance checks that require the project site.

Witness integration while components are accessible
Use a factory acceptance plan to review the assembled layout, equipment tags, material list, inspection access and drawing revisions. Witness the test of valve movements, pump rotation, signal mappings and automatic sequences with suitable test conditions. Include safe fault simulations for low inlet level, instrument failure or loss of communications when those signals form part of the design.
Identify each test that needs actual feed water
A factory demonstration can verify assembly and sequences with a test supply. Actual raw-water quality, intake hydraulics, ventilation and final power conditions affect installed performance. Reserve net output and product-quality acceptance for a site test with representative feed. Agree in advance on how to reschedule or evaluate the test if feed is outside the design basis.
Close the handover gaps
Collect punch lists, test evidence, settings backups, manuals and spare-part records. Mark items that must close before dispatch and those that depend on the final tie-ins. Include a training session based on the operating sequence so the person who receives the module can run the same start, stop and recovery steps witnessed during testing.
