1. Introduction
1.1 The purpose of this proposal is to provide all the necessary information and details to
carry out Online De-sanding Operations using RBG’s Advanced Online De-sander (AOD).
1.2 The identified vessels shall be ‘online’ under production pressure during de-sanding
operations and at an operating pressure of 40 barg or less.
The client should have a contingency prepared to shut in the vessel for offline de-sanding
operations, should problems occur during online de-sanding operations, such as the
following:
- Ineffective single valve isolation
- Ineffective valve operation
- Unacceptable produced water quality.
1.3 RBG Aqua-Dyne propose to utilise the AOD to remove wastes, in the form of sand and
particulate accumulations, from the identified vessel(s) without the need to take the vessel
off-line, thus enabling the client to continue production with no reduction in production rate
necessary.
1.4 Sand removal equipment comprises:

• A sand removal package comprising a hydraulic ram and jetting arrangement to
access the separator and allow the safe insertion of an HP water jetting nozzle into the
base of the vessel while the separator remains online. This package also allows for
the removal of agitated sand from the separator and transport by manifold and hoses
to the AOD skid. Safety features include isolation valves and a shear valve assembly
to allow disconnection of the AOD system from the separator in the unlikely event of
the HP water-jetting nozzle becoming stuck in or when partially withdrawn from, the
vessel.
• A ‘High Flow’ Jetting Unit to provide the necessary motive force to agitate the sand
within the vessel. This unit delivers 320 l/min at 200 bars to the inserted jetting nozzle.
This provides agitation / fluidisation of the sand over an approximate 2m radius from
the inserted nozzle.
• The AOD skid to separate the removed sand, water and oil. The skid reject water is of
suitable quality for re-injection to the client vessel by the jetting unit. The water is
cooled and filtered prior to re-injection. The reject sand / solids are cleaned and
treated to a quality suitable for disposal to sea or as directed by the client.
1.5 During the connection and disconnection of the AOD system to / from the vessel, it is
recommended that the Client Area Authority shall be present to oversee this part of the
operation, to visually identify and highlight each nozzle and verbally grant authorisation for
breaking of integrity. i.e. removal / fitting of blind flanges, valves and / or hoses.
Full PPE will be worn for protection from NORM and / or other identified contamination,
and potential leakage during the removal of blind flanges from the vessel drain valves.

CLNT
LCTN
Online Cleaning
1.6 Fluids removed from the vessel will be treated by the AOD skid to separate sand from
produced water; the water will be filtered and pumped to the jetting unit for further
agitating the separator sand content.
1.7 The separated sand / waste discharged from the hydrocyclones to the sand collection
tank on the AOD skid will be treated to remove hydrocarbon content and disposed of to
sea (or as per client instructions) via the pneumatic Scale Reduction Unit.
1.8 As per Ionising Radiation’s Regulations 1999 throughout this document, LSA - Low
Specific Activity has been superseded by the term NORM - Naturally Occurring
Radioactive Material.

2. Scope of Work
2.1 Scope of work
The Scope of Work described in this workpack is to perform Online De-sanding of:
TBA
2.2 Personnel Competence
In performing this type of work RBG acknowledges the need for the highest standards of
professionalism. Safe practice and procedural adherence are emphasised by all RBG
Supervisors with all work being carried out in accordance with RBG Safety Policy,
Procedure Manual and in conjunction with Client Local Rules.
All RBG personnel will have undergone specific training in the operation of the AOD De-
sanding equipment, covering TBRA, Flange Make Up and AOD Skid operation.
AOD Team Leaders will be experienced in the operation of the equipment and qualified as
Radiological Protection Supervisors (RPS).
2.3 Pre-mobilisation, Equipment and Containerisation Checks
Prior to mobilisation, all specialist equipment will be function tested at our Aberdeen base
by our base supervisor. Where applicable, all certification shall be checked and copies
given to our onsite AOD Engineer for reference at the worksite.
A copy of all equipment certification shall be passed on to the Client.
On arrival at site a full inventory shall be completed of all equipment mobilised to site by
the AOD Team Leader / Engineer.
2.3 Worksite Preparation
All personnel will complete site induction’s and familiarise themselves with the worksite
taking into account any site specific hazards that may be encountered, prior to
commencing with operations.
All personnel will complete a Tool Box Talk with the AOD Team Leader on site arrival; this
shall cover, but not be limited to, the following topics:
a) Objectives (Operation, Environmental & Safety)

b) Personnel Responsibilities
c) Method Statements & Plan
d) RBG Procedures & Local Rules
e) Site & Operation Hazards
f) Conflicting Activities
g) Chemical COSHH & MSDS
h) Risk Assessments & Worksite Evaluation
CLNT
LCTN
Online Cleaning
i) Equipment safe use & maintenance

2.4 Equipment Set-up
Detailed below is the typical equipment layout to be utilised during the forthcoming works.
All RBG personnel will be trained in flange make up.
2.4.1 Air Mover
A single air mover is mounted on the AOD skid. This has an independent air supply to
ensure optimum ventilation of the sand collection tank in the event that other skid utilities
‘draw down’ the skid supply.
2.4.2 Vessel Tie-in Points
Nozzle tie-in points are highlighted on the client drawings attached to section 5.0 of this
document. NORM Contamination and spillage PPE will be worn for the removal of blind
flanges from the vessel drain valves.
Nozzle ID Size Schedule
The “flange break and make up” tag and register procedure shall be adopted and
completed for all flange joints broken and made throughout this scope.
Three tie in points are typically utilised:
• A central tie in used for the connection of the Sand Removal Package. This
connection utilises a 3” 40 bar working pressure hose connected to an isolation
valve and a ‘shear’ valve connected to the client valve. The 3” hose is terminated
to the Hydraulic Ram from which a side stream carries the sand and water to the
sand collection manifold.
• Two tie ins at the extremities of the area of the vessel to be de-sanded. These
connections are 2” or 3” 40 bar working pressure hoses connected to the client
valves. The hoses are terminated to the sand collection manifold.
Depending on the progress of the de-sanding operation these connections may be

changed around to ensure removal of the maximum amount of sand during the operation.
Suitable x-overs will be provided by RBG to ensure safe attachment of hoses to the client
separator drain valves.
2.4.3 Sand Removal and Transfer Configuration
The sand jetting water is pumped through a 1” / ¾” / 5/8” high pressure polyflex hose
which passes through the 3” 40 bar working pressure hardwall hose to access the vessel.
CLNT
LCTN
Online Cleaning
The hydraulic ram is used to advance the water jetting / agitation nozzle through the 3”
hardwall hose, isolation valve, shear valve and client valve(s) into the vessel.
The fluidised sand from the vessel flows through the annulus between the polyflex hose
and the hardwall hose, to the hydraulic ram, through the side stream take off to the sand
collection manifold.
The sand collection manifold is connected to the AOD by a 2” 40 bar working pressure
hardwall hose.
Manipulation of the valves on the three separator connections will ensure that he
maximum amount of sand is removed
2.4.4 Produced Water Return to Separator
The AOD skid separates sand and oil from the water removed from the separator and
returns the water to the jetting unit for re-injection to the separator.
Water from the ‘clean water’ side of the sand collection tank is pumped through a pair of
10 micron fine filters to a plate heat exchanger. The heat exchanger cools the produced
water to 40oC or lower to allow it to be pressurised to 200 bar by the jetting unit for re-
injection to the separator for further sand agitation.
The hardwall hoses used to connect the AOD skid to the jetting unit are 3” 10 bar working
pressure.
The jetting hoses are rated at 1” / ¾” / 5/8” x 500 bar working pressure.
The working pressure of the jetting system is 200 bar.
Once the 1” hose connects to the hydraulic ram the hose diameter is subject to variation
and is contained within a 3” 40 bar working pressure hardwall hose.
2.4.5 Sand Disposal Configuration
The diaphragm pump discharging the sand from the sand collection tank is connected to
a pneumatic Scale Reduction Unit by a 2” 10 bar working pressure hardwall hose.
The pneumatic Scale Reduction Unit shall be located at the most convenient location
agreeable to all parties concerned. The area surrounding the unit will be designated a
controlled area and appropriate barriers and warning signs shall be posted prior to start of
work.
The discharge hose from the Scale Reduction Unit to the sea should be lowered 20m
below sea level.
During sand disposal to sea, no diving operations should be in progress and
platform potable water makers should not be in operation.

CLNT
LCTN
Online Cleaning
2.4.6 Chemical Addition
The initial water fill (6 m3) of the AOD skid will be provided by the platform and should
preferably be either potable or produced water. No chemical treatment should be
required. If any chemical treatment is required, the client shall supply the chemical itself
and all relevant documentation, including COSHH Assessment and Manufacturers Safety
Data Sheets.
If seawater is used as the initial fill then it may require to be treated with a scale inhibitor
and / or oxygen scavenger and / or biocide to prevent adverse chemical reaction on
injection to the separator produced water.
If the process fluid is NORM contaminated then scale inhibitor may be required to ensure
no deposits are left within the AOD system.
The AOD system is not a sealed unit and therefore oxygen may be absorbed into oxygen
deficient water, which could prove problematic when re-injected to the separator.
These treatments should be discussed and agreed with the client prior to mobilisation
De-greaser / De-oiler
To assist the separation of oil, water and sand within the AOD skid, a quantity of chemical
solvent (RBG preferred: AIC Supersolv) is required to be injected into the AOD skid inlet
line. The chemical will be added via injection pump, CIP2, mounted on the AOD skid.
Client clearance to use this or a substitute chemical must be obtained prior to
deployment.
2.4.7 General Equipment Set-up Considerations
When securing hoses, kinking should be avoided, as this will accelerate wear of hose
during pumping operations. It shall be the responsibility of the Team Leader to monitor
hoses and equipment during operations on an ongoing basis.
All hoses shall be routed in a manner as to avoid walkways, hot surfaces and sharp
edges as well as minimising tripping hazards wherever possible. If obstructing a walkway
is unavoidable then highlighting tape will be utilised.
The area around the skid will be a restricted area due to the operations thus restricting
access to equipment operators and invited, escorted personnel.

2.5 Online Vessel De-sanding Method
The following method statement has been compiled to describe the use and operation of the
AOD skid and associated equipment. This gives a clear, unambiguous statement as to how
the online de-sanding works should be carried out.
Prior to online de-sanding operations commencing, the RBG AOD Team Leader and Client
Area Authority should make final checks on the surrounding areas and equipment.
The Area Authority can be invited to witness the integrity checking but must be positioned as
directed by the AOD Team Leader to ensure he does not expose himself to unnecessary
danger.
Reference should be made to Appendix 11.5 (AOD Operating Procedure) of this workpack
for detailed skid operating instructions.
Upon issue of the Permit to Work certificate for vessel de-sanding operations the following
procedure shall be followed:-
2.5.1 Equipment Integrity Testing
Carry out the equipment pre operational checks as detailed in Appendix 11.5 (AOD
Operating Procedure) of this workpack.
Prior to introducing process fluids to the AOD system the integrity of all hoses, connections
and the skid itself must be demonstrably proven.
All hoses must be connected and connections competently made up.

The de-sanding system (AOD skid, hydraulic ram, sand collection manifold and jetting unit
must be connected and ready for operation.
The sand collection tank should be filled to just below the high level switch with either fresh
water (not necessarily potable water), produced water or sea water. If using sea water the
tank contents should be chemically treated as previously agreed with the client.
During the integrity checks any leaks should only be rectified once the system has been
depressurised. Check the repair by pressurising the system again.
Following the detailed procedure in the AOD Operating Procedure the AOD skid should be
lined up for recycle mode.
Diaphragm Pump DP1A should be used to take suction from the sand collection tank,
discharging to the three hydrocyclones. The hydrocyclones should be vented as they fill with
water.
The water outlet from hydrocyclone H3 should be closed allowing the diaphragm pump to
reach ‘stall’ pressure. Check all hydrocyclone lines for leakage
Once the hydrocyclones have been successfully integrity tested the cross over between the
hydrocyclone discharge and heat exchanger inlet should be opened allowing the diaphragm
pump to pressurise the fine filters, heat exchanger and line to the jetting unit. Allow the
diaphragm pump to reach ‘stall’ pressure. Check all lines and connections for leaks.

CLNT
LCTN
Online Cleaning
Rectify any leaks before proceeding further.
DP1A should be S/D and pressure bled from the system on completion of the test.
The sand outlet lines from the hydrocyclones must be opened prior to starting centrifugal
pumps CF1 and CF2.
The sand collection manifold pressure relief valve will be set at approximately 2.0 barg above
the agreed separator pressure for de-sanding operations.
The AOD Team Leader will ensure that the sand collection manifold is routed to the AOD
skid and all valves are fully open. On the skid, BV3, the ESD valve should be closed
The jetting nozzle shall be energised by starting the jetting unit. By slowly adjusting the
jetting unit bypass valve the pressure in the hose and ram assembly to BV3 on the AOD skid
can be pressurised to the agreed pressure for de-sanding operations.
All equipment, hoses and connections should be checked for leaks.
S/D the jetting unit and bleed off the pressure on completion of the integrity check.
The skid should now be lined up for de-sanding operations.

Diaphragm Pump DP1A should be used to pump to a closed valve at the Particle Reduction
Unit. Allow the pump to reach ‘stall’ pressure.
Check the discharge line for any leaks.
This completes the integrity check of the de-sanding system.
2.5.2 Flow Establishment
Refer to Appendix 11.5 (AOD Operating Procedure) for detailed skid operating instructions
During all separator de-sanding operations, radio communication shall be maintained

between the AOD Operators and the Process Control Room. Regular updates will be
communicated to the Process Control Room during the operation.
Prior to commencing operations, secondary means of communications shall be

established, e.g. locating the nearest telephone and knowing the number of the
Process Control Room.
Only when the integrity of the temporary hose system has been accepted will the vessel
isolation valves be opened.
Chemical Injection (AIC Supersolv) should be started in the circulation route.
The diaphragm pump, DP1A, should be used to establish flow circulation around the AOD
system. Centrifugal pumps CF1, CF2 and CF3 should be started establishing pressure
and flow capability to the jetting unit.

CLNT
LCTN
Online Cleaning
With the jetting nozzle located within a valve or steel spool (not within a hose section), the
jetting unit should be started and, using the by pass valve, used to establish the forward
flow throughout the system. This flow will be returned to the AOD skid.
The vessel drain valves on the 3” hose containing the jetting nozzle should then be
opened and the agitation nozzle should be gradually extended and inserted into the
vessel. Sand and/or water will now flow to the AOD skid.
As flow is established diaphragm pump DP1A should be changed from circulation mode
to normal operation mode, being allowed to pump excess sand / water to the disposal
route under tank level control.
As DP1A is changed to normal operation mode the chemical injection should be re routed
to the skid inlet injection point.
2.5.3 Sand Removal
On energisation, the polyflex hose and jetting nozzle is pushed through the shear valve,
client valves and approximately 100mm into the vessel, this agitates and fluidises the sand /
water mixture.
The sand / water mixture flows through the annulus between the polyflex hose and the
hardwall hose to the sand collection manifold and onwards to the AOD skid. The flow is
controlled by the AOD pressure reducing valve (BV1) in conjunction with the hydrocyclone
liner capacity, typically about 400 l/min.
This mode of operation will continue until samples from the hydrocyclone sand outlet indicate
virtually no sand.
At this point one of the adjacent hose connections can be slowly opened up allowing sand
from further along the separator to flow to the AOD. When the hydrocyclone sand outlet
sample again shows very little sand this outlet should be closed off and (if fitted) the other
adjacent hose connection slowly opened.
If these adjacent vessel nozzles are too far from the jetting nozzle for the sand to be fluidised
it may be necessary for the jetting nozzle to be moved to the adjacent nozzles. Re-testing of
the integrity of the connections will be required if the nozzle is relocated.
On completion of that part of the de-sanding operation the jetting nozzle should be retracted
to its starting point and the client valves closed. Jetting should continue for a couple of
minutes to ensure that the manifold and hoses are flushed free of sand.
The jetting unit can now be S/D and manifold and hoses depressurised.
Prior to disconnection of any hoses the integrity of the client vessel drain valves must be
confirmed. Following depressurisation the pressure gauge on the ram should be monitored
for any rise in pressure, indicating a leaking valve.
In the event that there is an indication of the vessel isolations passing, all vessel isolation
valves will be operated one nozzle at a time until complete vessel isolation is proven.
During the de-sanding operation the vessel flow and pressure will be continually monitored.
The sand collection tank levels and discharge filtration flow will also be continually monitored.

CLNT
LCTN
Online Cleaning
The AOD skid is fitted with its own S/D system designed to S/D and isolate the skid from the
separator in the event of any parameters exceeding design. Additionally the skid operator
can S/D the skid by operating the Emergency Stop Button.
In the event of a GPA the power to the skid (via a welding socket) will be isolated, initiating a
skid S/D. Additionally the GPA causes a loss of 110v supply to the jetting unit and hydraulic
ram package. This causes the jetting unit and hydraulic ram to S/D. On loss of the 110 v
supply the hydraulic ram automatically retracts the nozzle from the vessel, allowing the client
valves to be manually closed.
In the event that the system is to be left unmanned, all vessel drainage isolation valves will
be closed and power supplies to de-sanding equipment isolated.
2.5.4 Sand Collection Tank (within RBDSU 01)
All agitated sand and water is transferred to the AOD system for chemical treatment and
separation by the hydrocyclones.
The hydrocyclones serve to thoroughly mix the chemical with the dirty sand causing the oil to
be released from the sand as the sand and water are separated.
The solids are deposited in the sand collection tank. Inside the tank, a weir plate and baffle
arrangement is used to retain the sand in the ‘dirty’ half of the tank, allowing oil and water to
pass over the weir into the ‘clean’ half of the tank.
Within the ‘clean’ half of the tank the oil is skimmed of for return to the drains.
The ‘clean’ water is recycled for use in sand agitation in the separator.
The sand is continuously cleaned and discharged to the disposal point.
Throughout de-sanding operations, an air mover ventilates the sand collection tank to ensure
that the hazardous gasses associated with the sand / water removed from the separator are
vented to a safe area.
Methane and Hydrogen Sulphide gas detectors are incorporated into the AOD system.
In the event that the amount of associated gas is sufficient to overcome the ventilation rate
the methane gas detector will operate to S/D the skid at 40% LEL; the H2S detector will
operate to S/D the skid at 10 ppm. (Alarms levels are set at 20% LEL and 5 ppm
respectively).
During the vessel de-sanding, close radio contact shall be maintained with the Process
Control Room to ensure that the level within the separator does not increase / decrease
significantly.
In the event there is a significant high liquid level fluctuation within the sand collection tank,
the skid will be S/D by the operation of a High Level Switch.
If the flow to the tank reduces below the rate that is returned to the separator for sand
agitation the skid will be S/D by the operation of a Low Level Switch.

CLNT
LCTN
Online Cleaning
2.5.5 Fines Filtration Unit
Water from the ‘clean’ half of the tank is routed through a duplex 10 micron fine filter prior to
returning to the HP water jetting unit.
During de-sanding operations the filter DP will be monitored, when required the filters will be
changed over. If the filters become blocked they can be changed independently of each
other whilst the AOD is online. NORM contamination monitoring will be carried out at this
stage.
In the event that the filters are contaminated they will be placed within NORM logo bags and
placed within the confines of the restricted area. On completion of the de-sanding operations
the filters will be washed with all waters being held within the confines of the filter chamber.
The wash waters will be disposed of to the designated overboard disposal route.
The filters will be monitored and once classed as none contaminated will be disposed of as
within the s waste disposal policy.
2.5.6 Sand Collection Tank – Sand Removal
Regular sampling will be performed throughout the de-sanding operations to estimate the
quantity of sand being discharged by diaphragm pump DP1A.
The estimate of the amount of sand removed from the separator shall be recorded on the
‘Contaminated Waste Disposal Sheet’; this will be based on the results of the regular
sampling taking place throughout the AOD operation.
All sand and oily water within the sand collection tank shall be cleaned to an acceptable level
as required on the disposal licence, prior to disposal via the particle reduction unit. All
recovered oil will be disposed of to the agreed drains disposal point.
If necessary, the AOD system will be put on a re-circulating cycle until the sand has been
cleaned to an acceptable level.
To check that the pneumatic scale reduction unit is operating to the correct legal
requirements, a sample of pulverised grit shall be taken by the RPS prior to NORM
disposal operations.
It shall be ensured that any diving operations within the immediate vicinity of the platform
have been suspended and the potable water makers are not operational during discharge
of NORM contaminated material to sea.
All sand and scale removed from the sand collection tank shall be passed through the
scale reduction unit before disposal to sea.
The above process shall be repeated until it is apparent that no more sand is being removed
from the separator.

2.6 Equipment De-rig
On completion of de-sanding operations, all equipment shall be flushed clean with water
and degreaser prior to back loading to the beach.
The manifold flushing point shall be utilised for flushing of the hose and valves.
Particular care must be taken with the AOD system to ensure that all traces of sand /
scale are removed. Cleaning will continue until monitoring demonstrates that there is no
NORM contamination remaining.
To accomplish this there may be a requirement for vessel entry of the sand collection
tank. If required this will be completed in compliance with the permit to work system.
The worksite shall be left clean & tidy.
