SAFETY DEVICES AND FEATURES

The safety system for compression facilities and gas transportation system shall consist
of following:

Emergency Shutdown System

Compressor station shall be provided with an emergency shutdown system (ESD) for reliably
and safely shutting down the station facilities in case of emergency and for venting out of
gas when situation demands so. The ESD system shall have provision of shutdown all gas
compressing equipments, all gas fired equipment, and shall de-energize the electrical facilities
located in the vicinity of gas headers and in the compressor shed, except those that provide
emergency lighting and those that are necessary for protection of the equipment.

Emergency shutdown system shall be operable from at least 2 locations away from the gas area
of the station out of which one should be located in the field out side the compressor building.

Pressure Limiting Devices

Over pressure shut off valves shall be provided upstream of pressure controlling system/
regulators along with alarm provision in case of failure of the pressure control system /
regulators .

Pipe size shall be such that gas velocities in the piping shall not be more than 20 mtr/sec for
unfiltered gas and 40 mtr/sec for filtered gas at peak condition. Sound pressure level shall be the
maximum limit prescribed by environment dept / pollution control board.

Any equipment or section of the pipeline containing Natural Gas in the form of trapped volume
shall be protected against excessive pressure developed due to rise in surrounding temperature by
installing suitable safety relief valves. The discharge of the safety relief valves shall be
connected to vent line system. All such safety relief valves shall have lock open type isolation
valve upstream of relief valve. In addition lock open isolation valve downstream of relief valve
shall be provided if vent is connected to flare header .

Pressure safety valves of sufficient capacity and sensitivity or other safety devices / system shall
be installed to ensure that the normal operating pressure of the system does not exceeded by
more than 10%, of the Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP).
