INSPECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
Equipment Tag: 8"-VF-803-1A1B Unit / AREA: U800 / Piperack

Reco No.: 2014-013 WO No:

Equipment Name: Waste Gas Header Unit 100 Project:

Inspection Start Date: 5/30/2014 Previous Insp.: N.A

Inspection Type: External Visual

FINDINGS :

Due to the "Mothballting" of the Existing Vacuum Destillation Unit 100 , the WG line coming out
of this unit that is connected to the flare header should be blinded off .
The waste gas line is in wet H2S service and prone to weld cold cracking , due to diffused Hydrogen in
the metal .

RECOMMENDATIONS :

* Line shall be degassed to drive out diffused hydrogen prior to welding at 250 oC for at least 2.5 hours.
Its needed to drive out the hydrogen.

* Cold cut line closest (minimum distance) to the branch connection of the main WG Header going to the
Flare K.O. Drum.

* After grinding and before welding the bevel shall be dye checked for cracks.

* Weld the two 8" flanges ( WN/RF 150# ) and insert a 8" slip blind150# in between (see Iso dwg FBN-
8125-VF803-P).

* Hardness in the weld and HAZ shall be measured and shall not exceed 220 HB.

* Inspection: After welding the repaired area shall be WFMPT for cracks.

Attachments :

1) Marked up Isometric ; FBN-8125-VF803-P

2) WPS NO. : HA-07 Csteel or CBOL (old ABB)

Remarks:
Use only E-7016 or E-7018 electrodes for welding due to, the line was already in wet H2S service .
