GENERAL Feed Gas supplied to LPG Train-4 (LPG 4) facilities consist of mixture of Associated Gas and Condensate from the KOC Gathering Centers Southeast Kuwait (SEK) and North Kuwait (NK) oilfields. In addition, existing KNPC Refinery Gases from the Shuaiba (SHU) AGRP and the Mina Al-Ahmadi (MAA) AGRP are supplied to the Fourth Gas Plant facilities. Future Non-associated Gas from the Dorra Gas field is considered in the design cases. The range of the Feed Gas composition is covered by the six defined design cases, which govern the design of Liquefaction and Fractionation Sections. And JT valve operation case of Winter Without Dorra feed is also considered in design. These cases are presented in the Design Basis and summarized below:

1. Summer Case Without Dorra 2. Summer Case With Dorra 3. Winter Case Without Dorra 4. Winter Case With Dorra 5. Rich Case 6. Lean Case 7. JT Valve Operation Case

A separate design Feed quality has been defined to represent the maximum content of 2.5 mol% CO2 and 2000 ppm H2S (2400 ppm for metallurgical purpose). To support the operations of the LPG Train-4, C3 Refrigeration and general Utility Facilities are provided. These facilities consist of Fuel Gas System, Heat Recovery Steam Generation System, Sea Water System, Closed Cooling Water System, Nitrogen Generation System, Instrument and Plant Air Systems, Water Treatment and Distribution Systems, Pressure Relief and Flare, Liquid Disposal Systems, Fire Fighting System, Effluent Treating, and HP Fuel Gas Conditioning etc.

The design of the NGL section is based on the GSP (Gas Sub-cooled Process), which is a Turbo Expander, based cryogenic technology. The GSP (Gas Sub-cooled Process) was selected among 4 candidate processes, which are two open-art and two licensed processes, i.e. GSP (Gas Sub-cooled Process, Open Art), OHR (Over Head Recycle, Open Art), SFR

(Split Flow Reflux, Licensed by Ortloff), and the CRR (Cold Residue Recycle, Licensed by Ortloff) during the development of the Feasibility Study by Fluor Daniel.

This plant capacity is designed to process 805 MMSCFD of Feed Gas and 106.3 MBPD of external Condensate in addition to the Condensate produced in the NGL Recovery Section of the process. Product Recoveries of at least 75% C2, 97% C3 and 99% C4 are expected. The Percent Recovery varies based on the Feed composition. Cases, the Lean Case will have the highest Percent Recovery Among the 6 different Feed

1.1

Plant Facilities The Plant facilities are provided as follows to allow operations for 6 different cases: Feed Pretreatment Unit (Unit 231) Two gas turbine driven compressor trains to get driving force of ethane recovery. Feed Gas, Condensate and LPG Dehydration to prevent ice and hydrate formation in the down stream NGL Recovery Unit (Unit 232) which would cause blockage of lines and equipment. Mercury Guard Bed is provided downstream of the Feed Gas Dehydrator. The purpose of Mercury Guard Bed is to remove trace quantities of mercury that could be present in the feed to the NGL Recovery Unit (Unit 232) to protect the brazed aluminum plate heat exchanger against rapid corrosion of aluminum. Mercury, even in trace quantities, has been found to corrode aluminum rapidly under certain conditions. NGL Recovery Unit (Unit 232) The purpose of the NGL Recovery Unit (Unit 232) is to produce and recover the C2 heavier component. The selected process is GSP process which is using Turbo Expander and C3 Refrigeration System as a cooling medium. Condensate Stripping System is to separate stripped condensate from the feed condensate and to inject separated light ends into the Demethaniser (V-232-001). NGL Fractionation Unit (Unit 233) Single NGL fractionation facilities including Deethaniser, Depropaniser,

Debutaniser system. The objectives of a fractionation unit are to produce ethane, propane, butane, pentane and KNG for using as a fuel gas or storage. Product Treating Unit (Unit 234) Propane sweetening and drying Butane sweetening and drying Purpose of Propane and Butane Treatment Facilities are to remove the residual mercaptan and sulphur compounds (H2S, COS) in order to meet commercial grade specifications. Propane Refrigeration & Deep Refrigeration System (Unit 235) The purpose of C3 Refrigeration System is to provide main cooling duty to liquefying the C2 heavier component. The purpose of Deep Refrigeration System is to provide cooling duty for propane product cooling down to -49 Sour Water Stripping Unit (Unit 236) Sour water stripping unit are provided with inlet feed drums, stripping tower and associated equipment, etc. The purpose of sour water stripping unit is to strip out H2S in sour water. The H2S gas is sent to existing SRU. (-45 )

OVERALL DESIGN BASIS 2.1 Design Throughput The throughput or flow rate to the LPG 4 is shown in Table 2-1. Depending on the design case, the LPG 4 can be broken down into two parts: Gas feed for NGL Recovery Unit Condensate and LPG Feed for Fractionation Unit The facilities pertaining to Dorra Gas/Condensate sweetening and glycol Dehydration facilities have been excluded from the scope of work of LPG 4 Project.
