‘The main goal of the instrument gas system is to provide quality Instrument gas for field devices in the facility. A total of 50 Sm3/n is produced by the system, Gas for Instrumentation flow from the cyclone separator DS-501 (Ref. DWG. No 089513 SHT 182 of 2) through pressure control valve PCV-630 and PCV-531 into instrument gas filters IF-501A/B for filtration to remove particles which may have been picked up in the process. The gas then flows through gas driers IF-S02A/8 before entering the instrument gas header for distribution to the gas compressor skids etc. The pressure control valves arrangement is similar to that of fuel gas with PCV-530 as the main controller at 9 barg while PCV-31 opens at 8 barg to supplement instrument gas pressure + Start Gas System: The Start Gas system is also an integral part of the Utility Gas production Unit which is installed In the process Area of the plant and it is designed for outdoor service in hazardous area suitable for zone 2 The main goal of the Start gas system is to provide Start gas to start the Compressors in the facility. A total of 565 Sm3M is produced by the system. Start Gas for the compressor driver starter motors is taken from the cyclone separator (DS-501) into the start gas header at a pressure of 10.5 barg without further reduction. In. an Emergency shutdown (ESD) situation, a fail open valve XBV-112 (REF.DWG. No. W-089519 SHT, 1 of 2) is installed to Blowdown the start gas to the vent stack. The fail open valve is fitted with a bypass manual valve V-102 that is locked closed. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS To effectively design the required Air system, the following considerations will be required: 1. Purchase an Air compressor that will be able to deliver at least 620 cubic meter of dry air per hour (620Mhr.) at a pressure of 18.0 barg, with a drier unit. It shall be 100% spare, 2. The air compressors controls shall be automatic such that it stops at 16.00barg and starts 11.00 barg. 3. There shall be a shelter and solid foundation built for the Air Compressors. 4. Storage tank for compressed air shall be provided, sized, vertical vessel and fitted with pressure relief valve PSV = XXX.. fe foc storage fant tained 5. There shall be 2” drain line fitted with a drain valve at the bottom of the vessel. 6. The Compressed Air storage vessel shall have a common 4” manifold Teed into 2” lines fitted with pressure reduction and control devices. The Instrument airline @ 8.00 barg while the plant/start airline @ 10.00 barg 7. Provide/select breaker of appropriate power rating at the switch gear room MCC to power the air compressors 8. Provide appropriate size and rated armored cables with all necessary accessories to hook up the air compressors to the MCC breakers. 9. Decommission instrument gas line 2”- Gl - 5500 — 1A1 from the utility gas skid install blind flange and reroute it to the 2" instrument air line at the compressed air vessel manifold. 40. Decommission instrument gas header drain line G1 — 1512 ~ 11 to condensate drain header and blind flange. 141. Decommission instrument gas header vent line GV — 1221-11 and 1222 ~ 11 from cold vent header and blind flange. 12. Decommission start gas line 2” — GS ~ 5600 - 1A1 from utility gas skid, blind flange and reroute itto the plant/start air 2” line at the compressed air storage vessel manifold 13,Decommission start gas header drain line 1” — GS — 5601 — 1Atfrom condensate header and biind flange. 14.Decommission gestra pumps 1” pressurizing line from the start gas header, blind fiange and reroute to 3” - GN ~ 1110 ~ 11 HP gas inlet line to utility skid. Fig 3 45. Decommission all existing lines on the instrument and start gas headers discharging hydrocarbon into the headers. The existing instrument and start gas headers shall be used as instrument and plant/start AIR headers 16. Modification of exhaust/ vent gas lines for Instrument Header line and start gas system at compressor and process gas skids from the common stack vent in the plant. 17.Make isometric drawings of all rerouted, modified lines and headers. 48. Review operational logic of the Utility Gas unit and philosophy of the entire plant following the modification works and effect changes where necessary. 19. Modification of Instrumentation and controls system. 20.Decommission instrument gas drier system,
