Several gas and condensate gas fields have been discovered in Hayan Block, in addition to other exploration areas (Al Mahr. Jihar, Jazal etc.) For the exploitation of the condensate and gas fields, HPC intend to develop oil stabilization and export (Jihar), a Gas Treatment Plant (GTP-Jihar) for the production of LPG and one Satellite Gathering Station (SGS-Jihar).. The production wells fe. Jihar & Al-Mahr will be connected to the SGS Jihar and SGS Al-Mahr and further to OGS/GTP-Jihar by two gas and oil pipeline each. The OGS/GTP-Jihar will also receive the production of other satellite stations (Al-Mahr, Jazal etc). OGS/GTP-Jihar will produce on spec sales gas, LPG & stabilized ofl/condensate. ‘The produced gas and oil/condensate will be exported by means of dedicated pipelines while the produced LPG will be exported by means of tank trucks and loading arms from LPG bullets, for this purpose a complete tank trucks loading and weighing system will be provided. 1.3. Study Objectives ‘The purpose of this report is to hydraulically assess the Foam System for Oil Storage Tanks at Jihar GTP in order to verify following aspects of the System: * To verify the adequacy of pressure provided by fire water network at inlet of deluge system To verify sizes and associated velocities in pipe segments To determine flow rate and pressure at foam inductor and foam chamber To calculate the orifice plates on upstream of foam skid 1.4. Definitions For the purposes of this report, the following definitions shall apply: Node :Supply point (inlet point), flow point (outlet point), branching of pipes or a point where the pipe diameter changes. Pipe Segment :A single limited length of pipe which has a start node and an end node and a constant diameter.

Based on definition of nodes and pipe segments, foam system was modelled as a combination of pipe segments and nodes. Data like Length, elevation, size and fittings of each pipe segment from isometrics were provided as an input for the calculations. Available pressure and flow rate from fire water network, ref. [4], was specified at inlet point of the network. Special equipments like foam chamber and orifice plates were also modelled in the software. Hydraulic calculation was performed using following formulas specified in ref. [4]. 2.1. Assumptions 1. ‘C! Factor of 120 and 150 shall be used for untined carbon steel and stainless steel pipes respectively. 2. Maximum allowable velocity in foam system supply lines and riser has been considered as 6 m/s. 3. Inlet pressure of the foam system at fire water network connection has been considered ‘equal to available pressure from fire water network calculation, ref. [4]. 4. Orifice plate on the upstream of foam skid has been sized in a way to adjust the actual foam solution discharge equal to theoretical flow rate of the system. 5. A Pressure Drop of 35% along the foam inductor as per manufacturer's recommendation hhas been considered for proper proportioning of foam compound and water. 6. Foam Chamber ‘K’ factors has been selected as per vendor catalogue. 7. Calculation was performed in following two sections: A) From fire water network connection to inlet of foam inductor in which water is 8) From sitlt of for inductor to foam chamber on tank in which fam solution is flowing For each section associated fluid properties such as density and viscosity has been used Rev 0 Petrofac @ HvORALIC CALCULATION FoR WF 2 nuns FOAM SYSTEM, Page 7of 14 3 RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Detailed Results are depicted in appendixes A. summary of calculation results are provided in (Table 3-1).
