In piping term, BOP should be Bottom of Pipe or Blow out Preventer.

Being in the piping business for too long, BOP could be Boring Old People

I am just guessing but it may be a matter of context. B.O.P. (Balance of Plant) is a valid term. However, that B.O.P. would only be fitting when used in a statement such as.

"The primary process units and the secondary process units will be the responsibility of the ABC Engineering company. The Utility plant and the B.O.P. will be the responsibility of the XYZ Engineering company."

The B.O.P. in this case might include facilities such as: the Raw Water Treatment; the Waste Water Treatment; the Feed Tankage; the Product Tankage; the Truck and Rail Shipping Facilities; Admin-Warehouse & Safety Buildings; and the Flare.

Do it once and Do it Right

Funny how people read things differently.

My first though to Balance of Plant was in a Process train of thought (although why I thought that is beyond me as I'm not a process engineer!! )

But I read it as the Mass Balance of the Plant!!

But yes, Balance of Plant could well mean the remaining Plant Items!!
