2) Prevent ignition of released hydrocarbons;
3) Shut-in and depressurise hydrocarbon systems in the event of fire;

In the event of an emergency, the facility shall be shutdown and isolated from all potential hazards via

Level -1: is Section isolation and depressurizing / Blow down through Vent stack
Level -2: is Section Isolation with pressure

052KP-01-PHL-IN-001, Rev.01 page 10 of 25 

 

The above Level-1 & Level-2 ESD shutdowns are applicable to above ground facilities at Launcher and

Vent System (Stack) shall be located suitably considering sterile area and Gas dispersion etc.( refer

4.13 Plant Emergency Shutdown Valves

In the event of an emergency situation, e.g. a process upset that cannot be brought into controllable
limits, the plant will be partially or completely shutdown, in a controlled manner. To achieve this, various
levels of shutdown, of decreasing hazard potential, will be used as the basis of design for the ESD
systems.

The operation of the systems will be such that any shutdown action will initiate a lower level shutdown
as defined by cause and effect charts. At the battery limit of each plant (except block valve stations),
ESD valves shall be provided. They will close automatically by the plant ESD system, initiated by the
operator through the SCADA system or local operation.
