[0068] In the present embodiment, as a plant configuring module, a bottom stage module 10B is installed at the bottom, a middle stage module 10M is installed at a second stage and a third stage, and a top stage module 10R is installed at a top position of the plant facility 100. The bottom stage module 10B, the middle stage module 10M, and the top stage module 10R have necessary plant elements, for example, plant elements 61, 62, 63, 64, . . . such as tank, pump, reactor, pipe, and the like arranged within a frame body 10 configured with an H-type steel material. Each plant element is configured and arranged so as to be bonded with the plant elements arranged in the plant configuring modules adjacent in a vertical direction and a planar direction can be bonded.

[0069] The bottom stage module 10B, the middle stage module 10M, and the top stage module 10R have a size that enable container transportation on water and on land. For example, the size is to fit in 4 m×5 m×12 m.

[0070] In this example, the plant facility 100 has six bottom stage modules 10B in the first stage, six middle stage modules 10M in the second stage, six middle stage modules 10M in the third stage, and six top stage modules 10R in the fourth stage. In FIGS. 2(a) and (b), numbers are given in the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction, and a coordinate of (X, Y, Z) is given to the bottom stage module 10B, the middle stage module 10M, and the top stage module 10R.

[0071] Next, a configuration of the plant configuring module of each stage will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the bottom stage module of the plant configuring module according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2(a) and (b) shows the bottom stage module, where (a) is a front view and (b) is a side view.

[0072] The bottom stage module 10B is arranged on a base 12. Further, the bottom stage module 10B is configured by arranging a floor plate 11 in the frame body 10 formed with the H-type steel material, and arranging plant elements 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 on the floor plate 11. Each of the plant elements to be arranged are set depending on which position in the plant facility 100 each plant element is arranged.

[0073] In the present example, the frame body 10 is configured by connecting a lower frame member 20, an upper frame member 30, and a column member 40. This connection selects welding, high-tension bolt and nut, and the like, as necessary.

[0074] The lower frame member 20 is configured by connecting two long side members 21, 22 extending in the X direction in the figure, and three short side members 23, 24, 25 extending in the Y direction in the figure so as to form a rectangle as a whole. In the present embodiment, the long side member 21 is configured by connecting two short members 21a, 21b. Similarly, the long side member 22 is configured by connecting two short members 22a, 22b.

[0075] The short side members 23, 25 are connected to both ends of the long side members 21, 22, respectively. The short side member 24 is connected to a central position of the long side members 21, 22, that is, a connecting portion of the short members 21a, 21b and a connecting portion of the short members 22a, 22b.

[0076] The upper frame member 30 includes two long side members 31, 32, which are first members, arranged at a predetermined height position along the X direction, which is one of the two directions of X and Y in which the long side members 21, 22 and the short side members 23, 24, 25 of the lower frame member 20 are arranged, and three short side members 33, 34, 35, which are second beam members, arranged along the Y direction which is the other one of the two directions.

[0077] The upper frame member 30 is configured by two long side members 31, 32, which are first members, extending in the X direction, and three short side members 33, 34, 35, which are second members. The short side members 33, 34, 35 are arranged to be located on the lower side of the long side members 31, 32. The short side members 33, 34, 35 can be arranged at the same position as or on the upper side of the long side members 31, 32.

[0078] The long side member 31 is configured by connecting two short members 31a, 31b. Similarly, the long side member 32 is configured by connecting two short members 32a, 32b. The short side member 33 is arranged between a column material 41 and a column material 44, to be described later, the short side member 34 is arranged between a column material 42 and a column material 45, and the short side member is arranged between a column material 43 and a column material 46.

[0079] The column member 40 is configured by six column materials 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46. The column materials 41, 43, 44, and 46 couple the four corners of the lower frame member 20 and the upper frame member 30. Further, the column material 42 is coupled to a central position of the long side member 21 and the long side member 31, that is a connecting portion of the short members 21a, 21b, and a connecting portion of the short members 31a, 31b. Similarly, the column material 45 is coupled to a central position of the long side member 22 and the long side member 32, that is a connecting portion of the short members 22a, 22b, and a connecting portion of the short members 32a, 32b.

[0080] On an upper side from the upper frame member 30 of the column portions 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46, upper projecting column portions 41u, 42u, 43u, 44u, 45u, and 46u, which are projecting column portions projecting toward the upper side from the upper frame member 30, are formed. Further, on the distal end portions of such upper projecting column portions 41u, 42u, 43u, 44u, 45u, and 46u, flange plates 51u, 52u, 53u, 54u, 55u, and 56u or flange portions for bonding with the middle stage module 10M arranged on the upper stage are connected. The flange plates 51u, 52u, 53u, 54u, 55u, and 56u are formed with a plurality of bolt holes for inserting bolts.

[0081] On a lower side from the upper frame member 30 of the column materials 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46, lower projecting column portions 41d, 42d, 43d, 44d, 45d, and 46d are arranged in a projecting manner. To such lower projecting column portions 41d, 42d, 43d, 44d, and 45d, flange plates 51d, 52d, 53d, 54d, 55d, and 56d or flange portions for connecting with the base 12 are connected. The flange plates 51d, 52d, 53d, 54d, 55d, and 56d are formed with a plurality of bolt holes for inserting bolts.

[0082] In the bottom stage module 10B, the lower projecting column portions 41d, 42d, 43d, 44d, 45d, and 46d which are projecting column portions projecting toward the lower side from the lower frame member 20 of the column materials 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 46 are formed, but the flange plates 51d to 56d can be arranged without forming the upper projecting column portions.

[0083] In the present example, a piping and wiring member 70d is arranged along the X direction. The piping and wiring member 70d is arranged by being mounted on the short side members 33, 34, and 35. Further, in the present example, a piping and wiring member 70u is arranged along the Y direction. The piping and wiring member 70u is arranged by being mounted on the long side members 31 and 32.

[0084] The piping and wiring members 70d, 70u can be arranged with a pass-through region formed by the upper projecting column portions 41u, 42u, 43u, 44u, 45u, and 46u of the bottom stage module 10B and the lower projecting column portions 41d, 42d, 43d, 44d, 45d, and 46d of the middle stage module 10M arranged on the upper stage as a piping and wiring space (pipe space) Ps.

[0085] Since the long side members 31, 32 and the short side members 33, 34, 35 are arranged at different height positions, even if the piping and wiring members 70d, 70u are arranged in an intersecting direction, they can be prevented from interfering with each other. The piping and wiring member 70d includes pipes 71d, 72d, 73d, 74d, and a duct 75d, and the piping and wiring member 70u includes pipes 71u, 72u, 73u, 74u, and a duct 75u.

[0086] Further, in the bottom stage module 10B, connecting portions 110u, 110d for connecting another bottom stage module 10B also adjacently arranged in the plane and connecting beam 91, 92 (see FIGS. 8(a) and (b)) are formed at both ends and a central portion (arranging place of the column material 42) of the long side members 21, 22 configuring the lower frame member 20.

[0087] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the connecting beam 91, 92 are obtained by securely attaching a flange plate with a bolt hole to both ends of the H-type steel, where bolt holes corresponding to the bolt holes of the connecting beam 91, 92 are opened in the connecting portions 110u, 110d.

[0088] Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and (b), the connecting portion 110u for connecting another bottom stage module 10B also adjacently arranged in the plane and the connecting beam 91, 92 (see FIGS. 8(a) and (b)) is formed at both ends and a central portion (arranging place of the column material 42) of the long side members 31, 32 configuring the upper frame member 30.

[0089] Next, the middle stage module 10M will be described. FIGS. 3(a) and (b) shows a middle stage module of the plant configuring module according to the embodiment of the present invention, where (a) is a front view and (b) is a side view. The middle stage module 10M basically has the same structure as the bottom stage module 10B descried above.

[0090] Next, the top stage module 10R will be described. FIGS. 4(a) and (b) shows the top stage module 10R of the plant configuring module according to the embodiment of the present invention, where (a) is a front view and (b) is a side view.

[0091] The difference with the middle stage module 10M described above is that a projecting column portion projecting upward is not provided at the portion above the upper frame member 30 of each column material 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46. Other components are the same as the middle stage module 10M.

[0092] Facilities such as handrails, stairs and the like can be provided on the bottom stage module 10B, the middle stage module 10M, and the top stage module 10R, as necessary.

[0093] Next, a procedure for constructing the plant facility 100 using the plant configuring module according to the present embodiment will be described. FIGS. 5(a), (b) and (c) shows the plant facility constructed by assembling the plant configuring modules, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a side view, and (c) is a plan view; FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the plant facility constructed by assembling the plant configuring modules; FIGS. 7(a) and (b) shows a connected state of the flange plate in a state where the plant configuring modules are overlapped, where (a) is an enlarged perspective view of portion A in FIG. 6 and (b) is an enlarged perspective view of portion B in FIG. 6; FIGS. 8(a) and (b) shows an arrangement state of the connecting beam in a state where the plant configuring modules are lined, where (a) is a partial side view of the plant facility and (b) is a partial front view of the plant facility; and FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a connected state of each plant configuring module in a state where a plurality of plant configuring modules are assembled for construction.

[0094] First, a predetermined bottom stage module 10B, middle stage module 10M, and top stage module 10R are created in a factory. Each of the bottom stage module 10B, the middle stage module 10M, and the top stage module 10R is arranged with the necessary plant elements 61, 62, 63, 64, . . . , and the strength calculation of the entire module is performed in advance and various tests such as pressure resistance test is performed. Since the strength calculation and various tests of the module can be performed in advance in the factory, the tests to be conducted at the site can be minimized, thus achieving cost reduction.

[0095] The completed bottom stage module 10B, middle stage module 10M, and top stage module 10R are then conveyed to the plant construction place. In the present embodiment, the dimensions of the bottom stage module 10B, the middle stage module 10M, and the top stage module 10R are sizes that can be container transported on water and land, and thus a special conveying means is not required. Thus, the conveyance cost can be reduced.

[0096] In the example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a total of 24, that is, six bottom stage modules 10B, twelve middle stage modules 10M, and six top stage modules 10R are arranged, as described above.

[0097] First, the bottom stage modules 10B to be the first stage are arranged on the base 12 at the constructing location at a predetermined interval, and the flange plates 51d to 56d of each bottom stage module 10B are bolted to the base. Then, as shown in FIG. 8(b), between each bottom stage modules 10B, the connecting beam 92 is arranged between the facing connecting portions 110d, 110d of the adjacent bottom stage modules 10B and fixed with a bolt and a nut. A high-tension bolt is used to securely attach the connecting beam 91, 92

[0098] After the construction of the bottom stage modules 10B of the first stage is finished, four middle stage modules 10M are installed on the upper stage of the four bottom stage modules 10B. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b), the flange plates 51d to 56d installed on the lower projecting column portions 41d to 46d of the 10M mounted on the upper stage are brought into contact with the upper part of the flange plates 51u to 56u arranged in the upper projecting column portions 41u to 46u of the bottom stage module 10B of the lower stage. Then, as shown in FIGS. 7(a) and (b), the flange plates 51u to 56u and the flange plates 51d to 56d are fastened and fixed with the bolt 81. A high-tension bolt is used to securely attach each flange. Further, a diagonal member 94 for reinforcement is arranged between the connecting beam 91 and each column member.

[0099] In this state, the piping and wiring member 70 is arranged with the pass-through space formed by the upper projecting column portions 41u to 46u and the lower projecting column portions 41d to 46d between the bottom stage module 10B and the middle stage module 10M and the top stage module 10R as the pipe spaces Ps1 to Ps3, and the floor plate is installed and formed with the pass-through region formed with the connecting beam 91, 92 between the bottom stage module 10B, the middle stage module 10M and the top stage module 10R arranged side by side as passages Wx1 to Wx4, Wy1 to Wy4, as shown in FIG. 6. Further, facilities such as stairs are installed, as necessary.

[0100] The plant elements are then bonded after the assembly of all of the bottom stage modules 10B, the middle stage modules 10M, and the top stage modules 10R is finished, or while assembling the bottom stage modules 10B, the middle stage modules 10M, and the top stage modules 10R.

[0101] In the embodiment described above, the plant facility 100 uses a total of 24 plant configuring modules, that is three in the X direction, two in the Y direction and four stages in the height direction (Z direction), but a required number of plant configuring modules can be installed in each direction and height direction, as necessary.

[0102] Further, the dimensions and numbers of the long side member, the short side member, and the column member configuring the frame body of each plant configuring module can be appropriately changed.

[0103] Further, the installing order of each plant configuring module at the time of constructing the plant facility 100, and the order of construction of the piping and wiring to the pipe space as well as installation of the passage can be appropriately changed.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

[0104] A construction method for a plant facility and a plant configuring module according to the present invention can ensure a pipe space and an arrangement space for a passage by simply assembling the plant configuring modules at the plant construction place without affecting the arrangement of the plant elements to be arranged in the plant configuring module, and thus have industrial applicability.
