GENERAL

1.1

Introduction
The Aromatics plant at Jamnagar is designed to produce 1,200,000 tons of
Paraxylene per annum and 150,000 tons of Orthoxylene from naphtha feed
stock (2641 KTPA) available from Jamnagar Refinery Complex and Mixed
Xylenes (80 KTPA) from Hazira.
Feed Naphtha from the refinery consists of:

Straight run naphtha

Delayed Coker naphtha

FCC heart cut Naphtha


Paraxylene Plant basic technology has been provided by UOP. It will process
special cut Naphtha (105 oC 165 oC) to produce Paraxylene as the major
product and other side cut products. These are as follows.

Key Features
As a part of the Jamnagar Refinery complex, aromatic plant is being
established. A great emphasis has been placed on maximizing the ratio of
Paraxylene to Benzene product. This serves to minimize the quantity of
naphtha feed stock required per ton of Paraxylene product and avoids excess
production of Benzene.
A key element of UOPs strategy is to maximize Paraxylene to Benzene ratio by
controlling the Naphtha initial points and end points upstream in the refinery.
Heavy Naphtha feed stock for Platforming unit is obtained from three sources
as follows.

105 to 165 oC

c. FCC heart cut naphtha

105 to 180 oC

For naphtha streams initial boiling point of 105 oC has been selected and a wide
gap specified. This cut point, combined with a sharp fractionation, will serve to
drive most of the C7 paraffins up into the light naphtha storage, but retain most
of Toluene in the heavy naphtha to be used for aromatics production via
Platforming units. The 105 oC cut point also eliminates Benzene precursors
from the Platforming unit feed stock.
The end point of 165 oC will ensure that almost all C8 molecules and many C9
molecules will go into the heavy naphtha feed stock for aromatics production.
To maximize Paraxylene production, it is important to retain all the C8
precursors and obtain just the right amount of C9 to generate enough C9
aromatics to fully load the Tatoray unit.

to escape through the liquid.

Rotary pump

A positive displacement pump used mainly to pump


liquids which are either too viscous or too difficult to
pick up suctions with a centrifugal pump. There are
many types of rotary pump designs, one of the most
common being the gear type - in which two gears
mesh and rotate toward each other within a very
close fitting casing. The liquid is trapped between the
gear teeth and the casing and carried around to the
discharge side of the pump. The meshing gear teeth
prevent the liquid from returning to the suction side.

Rundown Tank

One of the tanks in which product is received from


the plant and from which the product is pumped to
larger tanks known as storage tanks. Rundown tank
is also known as Receiving tank or Day tank,
designed to store only one days production(with
enough cushion) . If the product was received
directly into the large storage tanks, the offspec.
product due to plant upset would contaminate
unnecessarily larger size product storage tank.

UNIT DESCRIPTION

2.1

Design Basis
The UOP RECOVERY PLUS system has been designed to improve the
recovery of LPG and Reformate from Platforming Process Unit net gas streams.
Increased hydrocarbon liquid recovery translates into improved liquid product
yields and, therefore, higher production of more valuable products. Added
benefits are improved LPG recovery.
Under the design conditions, the RECOVERY PLUS system improves C5 +
yields by 4 LV% and LPG yields by 0.5 LV% based on fresh feed H2 purity of
the net gas is increased by 8 mol%.

2.2

Process Flow Description and Controls


RECOVERY PLUS system is composed of a process circuit and a closed loop
refrigeration circuit. The process circuit consists of a net gas stream and a
slipstream of liquid from the platforming Unit Debutanizer column feed. The
refrigeration circuit provides cooling to promote the absorption of LPG and
reformate hydrocarbons that would normally exit the Platforming Process Unit in
the net gas stream. The net gas & liquid streams are individually cooled & then
enter the Absorber, MV-AY233-V01. Vapor & liquid separation occurs through
counter current flow. The recovered liquid is sent to the Platforming process
Units Debutanizer column for stabilization prior to being sent to storage. The
gas stream exits the RECOVERY PLUS system to chloride Treaters (MVAY231-V04 A/B).
The RECOVERY PLUS system contains four circuits.
a. Closed loop Refrigeration circuit
b. Oil Reclaimer / oil separator circulation

RELIANCE PETROLEUM LIMITED


JAMNAGAR

OPERATING MANUAL
RECOVERY PLUS
UNIT 233

c. Net Gas Circuit


d. Liquid Circuit
a) Closed loop Refrigeration circuit
Starting at the Refrigerant Subcooler 233-S06, the propylene refrigerant (liquid)
is pressured through LV014 and enters into the receiver / Economiser (233V03). From the Receiver / Economiser (233-V03), the vapor portion of the
refrigerant is sent to a side port of the compressor (233 C01) through a back
pressure control valve (PV 038). This ensured there is enough driving force
between the 233-V03 and 233-C01 Suction during low load conditions. 233-V03
improves the efficiency of the Refrigeration compressor.
The refrigerant remaining in 233-V03 is pressured to the Combined VaporLiquid Chiller (233-S03) via control valve LV002. The chilled liquid refrigerant is
maintained 2 below the top of the tubes of the chiller. Frothing of the refrigerant
in the chillers covers the rest of the tubes. Process fluids (H2 / HCBN) pass
through the tubes of Combined Vapor-Liquid Chiller (233-S03) where they are
cooled by evaporation of the refrigerant. The Disengaging drum on Top of the
chiller shell allows any entrained liquid to be removed from the vaporized
refrigerant.
The vaporized refrigerant leaving the Chiller (233-S03) passes through PV012.
PV012 controls the compressor 233-C01 suction pressure during startup only.
During normal conditions PV012 is 100% open.

Within the compressor, refrigerant vapor comes in contact with circulating


synthetic oil and the compressed gas/oil mixtures discharges from the
compressor to the oil separator # 1, 233 V02.
In the oil separator #1 (233-V02), the refrigerant disengaged from the oil and
passes overhead though a series of coalescing elements where entrained oil is
removed. The oil is recycled to the Compressor. Refrigerant is then sent
through oil separator #2 233-V04, where oil is removed to below 10 ppm level.
Oil build up in the 233-V04 is sent back into the 233-C01 suction via FO-004.
Any entrained oil will settle in the chiller and is recovered in the Oil Reclaimer
Circuit.
The refrigerant leaves oil separator #2 & enters the shell side of the condenser
233-S05, where it exchanges heat with cooling water (tube side) & condenses.
Condensed refrigerant drains from the condenser (233-S05) in to the tube side
of the subcooler, 233-S06. In 233-S06, the condensed refrigerant is cooled
further by the Rich oil leaving the liquid Exchangers, 233-S02 A/B. This
subcooling allows the compressor capacity to increase without affecting the
energy requirements. The subcooled refrigerant is collected in 233-V03
Receiver / Economiser. 233-V03 is designed to hold the total circuit charge at
90% level.

Entrained oil in the refrigerant stream settles in the Combined Vapor-Liquid


Chiller (233-S03), where refrigerant boiling occurs. With liquid refrigerant boiling
off at - 29 0C the heavier oil settles to bottom of the chiller. The drained oil /
refrigerant mixture from 233-S03 goes to Oil Reclaimer (233-Vv07). The oil is
reclaimed through a batch process of draining, boiling off the refrigerant and
pumping the oil back to the suction of compressor 233-C01. The batch
operation is controlled by a logic system.
After compression, a refrigerant / oil mixture is discharged into the oil separator
#1 (233 V02). The separation between the oil / gas mixture is achieved in the
body

of the separator and further separation takes place in coalescing

elements positioned inside the separator close to the separator outlet. The
bottom of the separator serves as an oil reservoir and is equipped with a level
gauge (LG-012) for positive oil level indication. A temperature controlled oil
heater (233-Y01) is inserted in the separator to maintain the oil temperature for
proper oil viscosity and to minimize oil dilution by the refrigerant during
compressor shutdown. Lube Oil is pumped from the 233-V02 by oil pump 233P02 A/B. The oil then flows through the shell side of the Lube oil coolers (233S04 A/B) oil passes through a 25 micron element filter 233-F01 A/B before the
oil is fed to the bearings, balance piston, shaft seal, compression chamber and
compressor slide valve actuator.

Gas shell side). The RICH NET GAS IN then enters the tube side of the 233S03, where it is further cooled by exchanging heat with refrigerant (shell side).
The temperature of the vapor out of the chiller is controlled by TIC-009. As the
vapor outlet temp begins to decrease, TV 009 begins to open causing a position
of the warm Lean oil to bypass the Liquid Exchangers (233-S02 A/B), and mix
with the vapor entering the tube side of the Chiller, causing a change in the heat
capacity of the fluid. If the temperature of the Vapor leaving the chiller is too
warm, TV 009 will close.
The partially condensed Net Gas, leaving the 233-S03 enters the lower section
of Absorber 233-V01. The rich liquid is removed from the bottoms of 233-V01
on LIC-004. The Absorber off gas (NET OFF GAS) is then heated through the
shell side of the vapor exchangers 233-S01 & is sent to chloride treaters 231V04 A/B.
d) LIQUID CIRCUIT
The liquid into the RECOVERY PLUS system is a slipstream from the
Debutanizer column feed, and is controlled by FIC-002. This stream is pumped
by 233-P01 A/B to the tube side of Liquid Exchanger 233-S02 A /B, where it is
cooled by exchanging heat with the Absorber rich liquid (shell side). The lean
liquid enters the second tube bundle of the Combined Vapor-Liquid Chiller, 233S03 and flows to the top of the Absorber. The temperature of the lean liquid
entering the absorber is controlled by TIC-011.

the flushing loop diagrams.
Important Checks and Guidelines
a. Install blinds the flanges of the equipment, which will not be operated on water.
b. Install fine mesh screens on the pump suction lines.
c. Bypass the filters and traps in line, as per requirement.
d. Identify and ensure suitable water hose connection points and draining points
for injection and draining of water.
e. In case of exchangers, flush the inlet line upto the exchanger inlet flanges and
then connect the inlet flanges, and flush the exchangers.
f. Restriction orifices must be removed prior to flushing.
g. Control Valves and in line instrumentation must be removed prior to flushing
h. Instrument impulse lines and sampling systems will be disconnected prior to
flushing. During flushing, each process valve on instrument process
connections should be opened to flush the connection and be checked for
tightness after closure.
i. Check valves should be removed, or installed in reverse (subject to selected
direction of flow for flushing) and all other valves fully opened.
j. Flow rates should be maintained in the range 3 to 4 m/s for water flushing, 30
to 40 m/s for air blowing.

k. The flushing water is fully drained (properly) and system dried with air
immediately after completion of flushing, water containing upto 20 mg/kg
chlorides may be used for flushing of austenitic stainless steel piping systems
or sub-systems. In cases where proper drainage is not possible, and the metal
temperature in operation exceeds 50 0C, general recommended practice is to
use water containing less than 1 mg/kg chloride; i.e. condensate or
demineralised water for austenitic SS piping.
l. Isolate vessels and equipment from the flushing loop to prevent damage/
accumulation of debris within these items.
m. Flush through open end lines. Do not restrict flow in principle.
n. Flush through all drains and vents.
o. Where possible, flush downward or horizontally
p. Flush the main header from source-to-end, each lateral header from the mainto-end, and each branch line from the lateral header to end.
q. Always flush through bypasses, where provided, to an open end before flushing
through equipment.
r. On completion of flushing, reinstate all removed equipment items (control
valves and in-line instrumentation), install orifice plates and reconnect
instrument lines to process valve connections.
s. On completion of flushing, standard RPL form, duly signed by the RPL /

The piping system will be blown using compressed air to remove entrained
water in the pipes after draining of test and / or flushing water. The system will
be blown utilising the same piping configuration as that used for the hydrotest
test. A blowing record will be completed for each loop as defined in Hydrotest
diagram using RPL Standard Form.
A temporary air compressor will be used for the work. Temporary connections
will be installed between the compressor and piping loops to be blown. All drain
lines will be fully opened.
The test will be completed when only dry air is seen to exit the system.
On completion, the blown system will be fully reinstated with all items
previously removed and / or disconnected in preparation for hydrostatic testing
replaced in accordance with the reference drawings and removal records.
4.3.1.5 Tightness Test
On completion of hydrotest and blowing, and after reinstating the piping system
in accordance with the design drawings and removal records, the entire
process system will be subject to a pneumatic soap bubble test maximum
pressure of 5 bar. This action required just prior to inerting of process unit.
All flanged joints and the bonnets and glands of any item which were not
subjected to hydrostatic test will be tested with soap solution. Any leaks
detected by the formation of bubbles will be retightened or attended to arrest
the leak.
After the system has been leak tested, the air of the system will be displaced
with N2 for inerting of unit and hydrocarbon entry.

vacuum hold test.
4.7.2

Vacuum Test and Inertisation


Pull vacuum in the system with the help of a vacuum pump. Required vacuum
is 1 mmHg A. If the desired vacuum is not achieved, it is the indication of leaks
or moisture in the system. Break the vacuum with N 2. Pressure test the system
and fix the leaks. For removing moisture from the system, purge the system
with dry N2 several times. Check water in all low point drains. Pull the vacuum
and hold it for 4Hrs. Once the vacuum test is over, break the vacuum with N 2
and keep the system under slight positive pressue.
Nitrogen is an asphxyant gas and is both odourless and colourless.
Inhalation causes rapid unconsciousness by blocking of the oxygen
supply followed by death within a short time.
Strict safety precautions must therefore be applied when using nitrogen
gas for purging operations and especially when a high concentration of
nitrogen may be present.

2. Charging of Lube Oil
3. Oil Circulation
4. Inventory Refrigerant Circuit with Refrigerant
5. Initial Compressor Start-up
5.4

Evacuation for Air, Nitrogen and Water Removal

All air must be removed and purged before safe system operation is assured.
The system should be purged with nitrogen until the vent gas has an Oxygen
content of < 0.5%.
The refrigerant circuit must be evacuated to remove Air Nitrogen and Moisture.
Consequently a vacuum pump is required. A vacuum pump capable of creating
a vacuum of less than 1 mm Hg absolute pressure is required. To accurately
measure the vacuum an absolute pressure gauge is required. This should be a
Meriam closed end U-tube type gauge or equal.
To ensure that the refrigeration circuit is properly dehydrated with the least
amount of time, it is recommended that a vacuum point be provided on each of
the modules. This will ensure that the entire circuit is being pulled down and
help in isolating sections if necessary. Pipe all the vacuum points to the suction
of the vacuum pump. Provide an isolation valve on the suction the vacuum

pump to allow for isolation of the circuit when the vacuum pump has been
stopped to change oil or after a low vacuum has been reached.
When the vacuum pump is started, the vacuum should pull down rapidly to
approximately 25 mm Hg. At approximately 10 mm Hg evaporation of free
water in the circuit will be rapidly accelerated and the vacuum tend to remain
constant as the evaporation rate approaches the vacuum pump capacity.
Depending upon the total amount of water, ambient temperature and vacuum
pump capacity, it may take several hrs or days to make any noticeable
decrease in vacuum below 10 mm Hg.
After pulling down the circuit to below an absolute pressure of 1 mm Hg or
below, check to see that the vacuum reading is stable and does not rise above
1 mm Hg Abs. If the vacuum reading is stable at a value below 1 mm Hg than
the test is considered acceptable.

Charging of Lube Oil


Inventory Oil Separator # 1 (MV-AY233-V02) through a 2 oil flushing nozzle.
Initial inventory of Oil Separator # 1 should be 152-229 mm below the top of the
level glass, LG-012, when the oil circuit is full. The recommended level when
the compressor is 100% loaded is 400 mm below the top of the level glass, LG012. Fill Oil Separator # 1 for initial circulation so as to not cavitate the oil pump
when it is first started. While the oil circuit is being inventoried, add sufficient oil
to the Oil Reclaimer to cover the heater.

Oil Circulation
The following steps are recommended to commission the lube oil circuit:

A temporary jumper line will be required to connect 233-LO-124-3-ES32EH-NI at


valve 630 to Oil Separator # 1, MV-AY233-V02, AT VALVE 931. Valves 614, 615 and
618 at the Refrigerant Compressor, AY233-C01 must be closed.

Commission cooling water to the lube oil coolers, ME-AY233-S04 A/B.

The lube oil should be circulated a minimum of 4hrs bypassing the compressor, prior
to start-up and until the oil is free of debris.

After removal of debris replace filters if required. Bleed of gas from oil filters until oil
is present. Set the safety valves at 25 Kg/Cm 2.

Inventory oil if required. The level in Oil Separator # 1 should be 152-229 mm below
the top of the level glass.

Remove temporary piping when circulation is complete.

Replace the oil with new, clean oil for operations.

Process principles

OPERATING MANUAL
RECOVERY PLUS
UNIT 233

The purpose of the Recovery Plus unit is to improve the recovery of LPG and
Reformate from Platforming Process Unit Net Gas streams. Increased HCBN
recovery translates into improved liquid product yields and therefore higher
production of more valuable product. Added benefits are increased Hydrogen
purity of net gas stream and improved LPG recovery and Reformate recovery.
The RECOVERY PLUS system is composed of a process circuit and a closed
loop refrigeration circuit. The process circuit consists of a net gas stream and a
slipstream of liquid from the Platforming Unit Debutanizer (MV-AY231-V05)
feed. The refrigeration circuit provides cooling to promote the absorption of
LPG and Reformate hydrocarbons that would normally exit the Platforming Unit
in the net gas stream. The net gas and liquid streams are individually cooled
and then enter the Absorber, MV-AY233-V01. Vapor and liquid separation
occurs through counter-current flow. The recovered liquid is sent to the
Platforming Process Units Debutanizer column for stabilization prior to being
sent to storage. The gas stream exits the RECOVERY PLUS system to
Chloride Treaters (MV-AY231-V04A/B).
Under the design conditions, the RECOVERY PLUS system improves C5 +
yields by 4 LV% and LPG yields by 0.5 LV% based on fresh feed. Hydrogen
purity of the Net Gas is increased by 8 mol%.

Process Variables
The two major variables that effect the RECOVERY PLUS efficiency are
temperature (TIC-009 and TIC-011) and lean oil rate (FIC-002). The set points
of these parameters were considered to optimize recovery operation.

A.

Adsorber Inlet Temperatures


The temperature at which RECOVERY PLUS system operates is the variable,
which has the greatest effect on the Reformate and the LPG recovery.
Generally the colder the system operates the greater the recovery. Lower
operating temperatures are considered after analyzing metallurgical constraints
and icing.
The temperature TIC-009/011 of the vapor and liquid entering the Absorber are
used as the temperature control points. Temperature of the liquid stream is
controlled by regulating the loading and unloading of the compressor, which
determines its capacity. Temperature of the vapor stream is controlled by
regulating the amount of liquid, which mixes with the vapor prior to entering the
Combined Vapor-Liquid Chiller.

B.

Lean Oil Rate


The second process variable which has an effect on recovery is the Lean Oil
Rate, FIC-002. This rate has also been established based on process
economics and hydrocarbon recovery.
The lean oil flow rate should be maintained at a constant liquid to vapor ratio
(L/V) depending upon desired recovery. A lower liquid rate results in a decrease

in Reformate and LPG recovery, while a higher rate may produce no marked
increase in Reformate and LPG recovery but will result in higher utility cost.
8.3

Control Philosophy and Key Analysis

A.

Compressor Control Logic


The starting of refrigerant compressor consists of a sequence of events when
the start button is pushed. The first task is to clear all the trips and permissive.
Next the sequence will start with the starting of the lube oil pump motor. As
soon as the lube oil pressure is developed the compressor motor should start.
Once the compressor motor starts valves open or close automatically.
Control logic is as follows:
The following permissive have to be satisfied before starting the compressor:

Refrigerant Receiver/Economizer high level switch LAH-015B indicates level is not


high.

Refrigerant Compressor discharge high pressure switch PAHH-016A indicates


pressure is not high.

Refrigerant Compressor suction low pressure switch PALL-014A indicates pressure


is not low.

Combined Vapor-Liquid Chiller high level switch LAHH-003A indicates level is not
high.

Lube oil high temperature switch TE-025 indicates temperature is not high.

System stop switch is not in the stop position.

Refrigerant compressor motor has not been started within the past 60 minutes.

Refrigerant Compressor Load Control Logic
The loading of the compressor is accomplished by adjustment of slide valve.
The slide valve is positioned by actuating one of two solenoids conducting lube
oil to either extend or retract the slide valve on the compressor casing. One
solenoid causes the slide valve to retract, increasing the load on the
compressor and one solenoid causes the slide valve to extend unloading the
compressor.
The load solenoid XY-011A is energised if the following requirements are
satisfied:

The compressor motor running indication is on.

The compressor motor amperage is not high.

The logic determines additional loading is required based on the DCS temperature
output signal TT-011.

The local panel compressor Capacity Control switch is in auto position.


The unload solenoid XY-011B is energised if any of the following groups are
satisfied. All items in the group must be satisfied.

1. Unload on high current

The compressor motor amp switch IT-004 indicates amperage is high.

2. Unload on compressor shutdown.

Evacuation for Air, Nitrogen and Water Removal

All air must be removed and purged before safe system operation is assured.
The system should be purged with nitrogen until the vent gas has an Oxygen
content of < 0.5%.
The refrigerant circuit must be evacuated to remove Air Nitrogen and Moisture.
Consequently a vacuum pump is required. A vacuum pump capable of creating
a vacuum of less than 1 mm Hg absolute pressure is required. To accurately
measure the vacuum an absolute pressure gauge is required. This should be a
Meriam closed end U-tube type gauge or equal.
To ensure that the refrigeration circuit is properly dehydrated with the least
amount of time, it is recommended that a vacuum point be provided on each of
the modules. This will ensure that the entire circuit is being pulled down and
help in isolating sections if necessary. Pipe all the vacuum points to the suction
of the vacuum pump. Provide an isolation valve on the suction the vacuum
pump to allow for isolation of the circuit when the vacuum pump has been
stopped to change oil or after a low vacuum has been reached.
When the vacuum pump is started, the vacuum should pull down rapidly to
approximately 25 mm Hg. At approximately 10 mm Hg evaporation of free

water in the circuit will be rapidly accelerated and the vacuum tend to remain
constant as the evaporation rate approaches the vacuum pump capacity.
Depending upon the total amount of water, ambient temperature and vacuum
pump capacity, it may take several hrs or days to make any noticeable
decrease in vacuum below 10 mm Hg.
After pulling down the circuit to below an absolute pressure of 1 mm Hg or
below, check to see that the vacuum reading is stable and does not rise above
1 mm Hg Abs. If the vacuum reading is stable at a value below 1 mm Hg than
the test is considered acceptable.
Inventory Refrigeration Circuit with Refrigerant

After the dehydration, charge the circuit with vapor refrigerant to create a positive
pressure of 1 Kg/Cm2.

Close the inlet valves (valves 1004 and 1019 around LV-014) to the Refrigerant
Receiver/Economiser, MV-AY233-V03.

Close the filter inlet valve (valve 1013) of Refrigerant Receiver/Economiser, MVAY233-V03.

the pressure below 1.03 Kg/Cm2 g.

Use the Refrigerant Receiver/Economiser, MV-AY233-V03, level gauge LG-016 to


verify the desired level. The normal operating level is 120 mm from the bottom of the
vessel. The receiver should be filled to 1080 mm if there is no refrigerant in the
remainder of the system. Stop the pump when the charging is completed.

Close charging valve (valve 1015), equalizing valve (valve 1006) and fitter/dryer
outlet valve.
Venting of Non Condensibles
The presence of non-condensibles affects the heat transfer area in the
Refrigerant Condenser, which leads to a higher Refrigerant Compressor
discharge pressure and increased power consumption. Non-condensibles and
air should be purged from high point vents in the Refrigerant Compressor
discharge circuit.

12.0 Fire & Safety


12.1

Introduction
Safety of individual overrides all production targets. This is the safety policy of
Reliance Group. Hence safety has to be ensured in all walks of life especially
in plants and operating areas.
Though plants are designed properly considering hazards involved in process,
effective use of safe working procedures and practices cannot be
underestimated. Regular checks of plant atmosphere for inflammable material
and through investigation of accidents/near miss incidences is a must.
The principal objective of fire and safety equipment is to minimize the risk and
consequences of accidental event, minimize the potential for hazardous
occurrences, ensure a safe working environment and minimize the potential for
pollution of the environment.
This section of manual briefly describes fire and safety equipment and
procedures. This section should be read in conjunction with Safety manual of
Aromatics Complex, which describe various safety procedures to be followed in
Aromatics Complex.

permits viz. fire permit, vessel entry permit and excavation permit which are
issued depending on type of hazard involved in maintenance work.
Issuer of permit ensures that equipment under maintenance is isolated from
hazards. If it is not possible to nullify the hazard involved in maintenance work,
issuer of permit clearly identifies the type of hazard and precautions to be taken
during maintenance. Person in Plant area should always wear helmet. Safety
goggles should be used as and when required. Safety belts should be used
while working at heights.
Fire permits or hot work permits are issued if there is likelihood of fire during
maintenance. Hence Explosivity check is carried out in work area before issue
of fire permit and issuer of permit ensures that work area is free from
inflammable hydrocarbons. Issuer of permit ensures that adequate precautions
are taken for fire fighting in case of fire during maintenance.
Entry to confined space is governed by vessel entry permit. Issuer of permit
ensures that atmosphere is free from hydrocarbons and toxic materials. Issuer
of permit also ensures that atmosphere is safe for breathing with oxygen check.
If it is not possible to make atmosphere safe, then use of breathing air should
be considered.
During normal operations housekeeping is primarily the responsibility of
Production department. However clearing up of work area after maintenance
before returning Permit is the responsibility of Maintenance department. All
stairways, passageways and gangways must be kept free of materials, supplies
and obstructions of every kind. Materials and supplies must be kept away from

Fire fighting and safety equipment


Fire and safety is an integral part of Petroleum & Petrochemical Industry and it
has always has been considered as of prime importance. The Petroleum and
Petrochemicals being processed and handled in the Refinery Complex are
highly inflammable & volatile in nature. Therefore Fire & Explosions are some
of the potential hazards in such process industries resulting in property damage
and loss of human lives.
Fire is a rapid, self sustaining oxidation process accompanied by the evolution
of heat and light of varying intensity. Fire results from the combination of fuel
vapor, heat and oxygen in proper proportion. This combination of elements
causing combination is referred to as FIRE TRIANGLE. The definition of these
three elements is given below:
1. Fuel: combustible substance in the from of vapor, Liquid or incandescent solid.
2. Heat: a source of Ignition sufficient to initiate and propagate the Chemical
Reaction of Combustion.
3.

Oxygen: Oxygen content in atmospheric Air in sufficient proportion to form a


combustible Vapor-Air mixture.
Fire Extinguishment principle involves removal or limiting of one or more of the
factors depicted by the Fire Triangle. The Principle of Extinguishment of fire
may be classified under the following heads:

This is accomplished by removing combustibles from the scene of fire e.g.,


transferring fuel from burning tanks, cutting of fuel supply by closing of valve
etc. It is also achieved by subdividing the burning material to small isolated
pockets of fire.

Smothering
This is accomplished by eliminating air supply of diluting the available air
(Oxygen) to the fuel e.g., blanketing, inerting the atmospheric air by nitrogen/
steam etc.

Cooling
If the rate at which the heat is generated by combustion is less than the rate at
which is dissipated then the combustion does not persist. The application of
water spray or jet results in Extinguishment of fire by this principle. The cooling
principle is also adopted to protect neighbouring equipment/facilities from the
radiation exposure hazards.
RESPONSIBILITY OF PERSON NOTICING A FIRE

1. Activate the nearest manual call point. Inform plant control centre of respective
area.
2. Alert nearby people for help.
3. Try to extinguish the fire with the help of nearby fire extinguisher.
4. Carry out the instructions of shift / operation incharge.

Nitrogen is non-toxic. 79 mol-% of the air we breath is nitrogen, 21 mol % is


oxygen. However, in vessels or areas where there is a high concentration of
nitrogen, there is also a deficiency of oxygen for breathing. Breathing an
atmosphere deficient in oxygen (i.e. an inert atmosphere) will rapidly result in
dizziness, unconsciousness or death depending on the length of exposure. Do
not enter or even place your head into a vessel, which has a high concentration
of nitrogen. Do not stand close to a valve where nitrogen is being vented from
equipment at a high rate, which might temporarily cause a deficiency in oxygen
close to the valve.
It is also important to emphasize that if a person has entered a vessel and
becomes unconscious, no individual should go in to help him without first
putting on a fresh air mask, confirming that the air supply is safe, wearing a
safety harness, and enlisting the aid of a minimum of two other people to
remain immediately outside of the vessel to assist him. This may seem an
obvious warning, but people do forget this in the trauma of an emergency
situation. Often the first thought is to save the person in distress and people
enter the vessel without proper protection only to succumb to the same hazard
without anyone else being present to save them.
