9.1.3 Release for Mechanical team to test and commission for the Mechanical
works:
(a) A light load should be sustained until the commissioning engineer is satisfied from
the checks and from motor insulation test readings that further load may be
applied. Repetitive starting of the motor should be avoided to prevent over-
stressing of the fuses, switchgear and motor.
(b) Gradually open the discharge valve from closed position until the motor current
reaches either the design value or the motor full load current, whichever is the
lower.
(c) Check the pump pressure developed by means of the pump altitude gauges
against the design pressure. If excessive pressure is developed at this stage, the
cause should be investigated and rectified.

(d) Adjust the discharge valve so that the flow as determined roughly from the pump
characteristic is between 100 and 110 per cent of the design value.
Note that:
The motor full load current is not exceeded.
The pump should be run in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations and should be under fairly continuous observation. It should
not be left running outside normal working hours unless attended;
Check that the bearings and motor temperature remain steady, that no noise or
vibration develops and that no bolts or fixing works is loose.

7.5 Shaft seal run-in to deposits (calcareous deposits, etc.).
Automatic pump change is recommended.
The seal faces are lubricated by the pumped liquid,
meaning that there may be a certain amount of
leakage from the shaft seal.
When the pump is started up for the first time, or
when a new shaft seal is installed, a certain run-in
period is required before the leakage is reduced to
an acceptable level. The time required for this
depends on the operating conditions, i.e. every time
the operating conditions change, a new run-in period
will be started.
Under normal conditions, the leaking liquid will
evaporate. As a result, no leakage will be detected.
However, liquids such as kerosene will not
evaporate. The leakage may therefore be seen as a
shaft seal failure.

1. SCOPE
This Method Statement applies to all equipment, lines and circuits that receive energy from
electrical power, hydraulic fluid under pressure, compressed gas/air, startup circuits, machine and
equipment during maintenance, inspections, test and electrical safety precautions.
2. PURPOSE
This Method Statement establishes the minimum requirements for lockout of energy sources that could
cause injury to personnel. All employees shall comply with the procedure.
3. Responsibility
The responsibility for seeing that this procedure is followed is binding upon all employees. All
employees shall be instructed in the safety significance of the lockout procedure by HSE Manager (or on
behalf of him). Each new or transferred affected employee shall be instructed by HSE Manager in the
purpose and use of the lockout procedure. Also the T&C Manager, Electrical and Mechanical
Construction Managers are responsible to coordinate with the HSE Manager to determine the persons
which will be involved to implement the LOTO procedures and to ensure compliance.
5. Authorization Permit
Access to plant rooms and electrical control equipment must be limited to authorized personnel
who are members of the T&C staff. Staff member names shall be submitted to CCC- HSE Department
to issue the ID(s) and get the permit to start the work.
6. Training
All employees involved with Lock-out/Tag-out must be trained. The standard sets out three training
aspects of a Lock-out/Tag-out program:
6.1. Training authorized employees to recognize applicable hazardous energy sources. An authorized
employee is a person who locks out or tags out machines or equipment in order to perform servicing
or testing on that machine or equipment.
6.2. Training affected employees about the purpose and use of the energy-control procedure. An
affected employee is a person whose job requires him or her to operate or use a machine or piece of
equipment on which service or testing is being performed under Lock-out/Tag-out or whose job
requires him or her to be in an area where the service or testing is being performed.
3
6.3. Training of employees whose work operations are or may be in the area where energy control
operations are taking place must include the procedure and prohibition on attempting to restart or
re-energize equipment or machines that are locked or tagged out.
Employee retraining is required for authorized and affected employees when there is a change in
their job assignments, machines, equipment or processes that present new hazards or when there
are new energy-control procedures.
