PLANT UTILITIES AND MAINTENANCE

NKB40503 JULY 2019 SESSION 2019

ASSIGNMENT 1

Utilities component in plant consists of the following: -

1. Water Systems (Process water, 5. Industrial gases (oxygen, nitrogen and

boiler water
and cooling tower make- up
water).
2. Steam generation System
3. Air Compression System
4. Cooling Tower system
hydrogen) as both gas and liquid
products.
6. Electrical Generation and Distribution
System
7. Wastewater treatment system.

In group of 3 or 4, visit Pilot Plant to trace out the utilities system. Draw out the system in
block diagram/ PFD/ P&ID for the system. PID should include:
 Equipment specification
 Pipe material and size
 Piping components.
Discuss the functions and operation of the utility system in the pilot plant. Each group
should prepare a Report and Presentation for the utility system in the pilot plant. Report
contain:
1. Main equipment specification for: boiler/ air compressor/ cooling tower/electrical
incoming devices/ waste water system/ industrial gas cylinder etc.

 2. List and show in the drawings 3 or 4 components is the current system. Explain
the application of the components.
3. Suggest 3 or 4 components to the system to make the system better. You can
consider future expansion or better safety feature. Explain the application of the
components
4. Total components from 2 and 3, should be 5 or more.
5. Overall system schematic for system you work on can be in block diagram, PFD
or PID. Information in your schematic diagram should include: flow direction, size,
components’ tag (if no tag, you put a new tag for the components).

Presentation will be during TUTORIAL’s slot. Report to be submitted after the

presentation for each group.
Group 1: Steam generation 1 & 2 (Group of 4)
Group 2: Cooling tower system
Group 3: Compressed Air system
Group 4: Boiler make-up water system
Group 5: Wastewater treatment system (group of 4)
Group 6: Industrial gases: O2, N2 and H2
Group 7: Make-up water system and Electrical System
