PREFACE
This Standard is intended to be used as a purchasing standard for utility compressed air packages to
be supplied to Shell Expro for service on offshore installations. It covers the minimum technical
requirements for packages which include either oil injected or oil free rotary compressors driven by
electric motors, air driers(s) and the associated separation and filtration equipment.
The intention is to specify packages based on manufacturers' standard designs, modified with the
minimum requirements considered necessary to ensure reliable operation in an offshore environment.
The Vendor shall be responsible for conducting an analysis of the standard system and providing
confidence that any major potential weaknesses have been eliminated.
This Standard may be used by Shell Expro directly or by Agents Consultants or Contractors acting on
its behalf.
The Standard shall be used as it stands and shall not be re-issued under a different cover or modified
in any other way. When it is necessary to supplement or modify the Standard, this shall be done by
suitable notes contained in the order (or enquiry) or the data sheets attached thereto and not by
making any change to the Standard itself.
Significant modifications or any intent to use a different standard or specification in addition to, or
instead of, this Standard shall be discussed with Shell Expro Central Engineering Department, Head
of Mechanical Equipment Engineering.
In preparing Sections 3 and 5 of this Standard, the requirements of the following Shell Expro
documents have been taken into account and incorporated where appropriate:

1 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1.1 Compliance with this Standard
A potential Vendor shall state, in writing in the proposal, any requirements of this Standard with which
he is unable to comply.
A potential Vendor shall bring to the attention of the Purchaser any requirements of this Standard,
which in his opinion, are not in accordance with good engineering practice or are otherwise not
suitable for the application in question.
Except as allowed for above, it shall be assumed that the Vendor agrees with, and will abide by, the
requirements of this Standard completely.
Where other specifications and Standards are referred to in this Standard, it is the potential Vendor's
responsibility to obtain such documents and familiarise himself with the requirements thereof.
Documents of Shell origin will be supplied on application to the Purchaser.
1.2 Alternative Supply
At the enquiry stage, in addition to offering equipment conforming to this Standard, a potential Vendor
is free to offer alternative equipment, where such equipment has been proven to give satisfactory
service in closely similar applications. A potential Vendor shall clearly explain in the proposal the
extent to which such an alternative offer deviates from this Standard.
1.3 Selection of Options
Certain clauses in this Standard or any associated Standards may require the Purchaser to make a
selection between various options. When the Purchaser has omitted to make such a selection in the
enquiry or order, this omission shall be brought to the attention of the Purchaser by the Vendor. At the
enquiry stage, a potential Vendor may assume a particular option but shall clearly state such an
assumption in the proposal.
1.4 Technical Audit
Shell Expro reserves the right, through the Purchaser, to review and check any part of the design of
the equipment supplied, using their own expert or an independent specialist/consultant employed for
the purpose. The Vendor and/or Manufacturer shall release to such an expert or specialist all the
necessary drawings, or other information, to enable him to make such check calculations or analyses
as he may consider necessary. However, the expert or specialist shall, if so required by the Vendor,
give a written undertaking not to divulge such information or drawings to any other party except as is
necessary to satisfactorily complete the review or check.
In the event of a conflict between any calculations, analyses or recommendations made by the expert
or specialist and the corresponding calculations, analyses etc.. made by the Vendor, every effort shall
be made to resolve such a conflict and arrive at a mutually acceptable solution.
Where mutual agreement cannot be reached in the extreme, the Purchaser shall have the right to
insist that any modifications, additional calculations or additional tests recommended by the specialist
shall be made.
However, in the event that the Purchaser does overrule the Vendor in this way, it is clearly accepted
that the Vendor's responsibilities, both contractually and in relation to the costs of any modifications,
additional tests etc., shall be limited to the extent indicated by the Vendor's calculations/design, unless
it can be shown either at the time or subsequently by, for example the analysis of test results that the
Vendor's calculations/designs were in error.
1.5 Selection of “Bought-Out” Items and Use of Sub-Contractors
Except for standard fasteners and other small items which are covered by internationally recognised
standards, the Purchaser shall be given details of all “bought-out”, including the proposed supplier of
the items. The Purchaser shall also be given details of the Vendor's intent to employ sub-contractors
to partly or wholly manufacture any part of the equipment. This information shall be disclosed to the
Purchaser as soon as possible, in any case before the sub-orders for such items are placed.

Page 7 of 47
 ES/079
Rev 0 1988

The Purchaser shall have the right to request that a nominated supplier, sub-contractor and/or type of
equipment be substituted for the Vendor's initial selection, for reasons of rationalisation, past
experience in similar service technical superiority or other reasons. Where such requests are made
before or at the time of placing the order, they shall be considered mandatory. Requests for
substitutions made after the order shall not be refused by the Vendor without good technical reasons.
Alternatively the Purchaser may, at the outset, nominate sub-suppliers form whom certain items shall
be obtained.
1.6 Quality Assurance
The Vendor shall maintain a quality system in accordance with BS 5750 Part 1.
1.7 Vendor Experience Qualification
Utility compressed air package shall comprise equipment and components selected from
Vendors’/manufacturers' standard ranges.
Prototype equipment will not be considered.
Each potential Vendor shall state in the proposal where a package (or individual item included therein)
being offered is of a size, type or method of manufacture, which is not in satisfactory service. The
extent to which the package offered differs from or is an extrapolation of proven experience, shall be
disclosed.
1.8 Material Traceability
The Vendor shall have an effective system of part numbering. The part number shall completely define
the part including the material of which it is made. For example, two items which are dimensionally
identical but are made from different material, shall have different part numbers. All parts except
standard fasteners, gaskets and other small parts where it is not practicable, shall be indelibly marked
with the appropriate part number.
The Vendor and all sub-Vendors shall maintain an effective system to assure that all parts and
ancillaries are manufactured from the correct materials.
This system shall satisfy the following requirements:
• material and accompanying Certificates of Compliance or Manufacturer's Certificates shall be
checked on receipt by the Vendor for compliance with the specified requirements;
• the grade of material shall be positively identified by marking or recording throughout
manufacture.
NOTE: Certificate of Compliance and Manufacturers' Certificates shall be as defined in
DIN50049. Copies of certificates are acceptable provided they are signed and dated
by a responsible person in the Vendor's or sub-Vendor's inspection department
certifying them as true copies.
Certain components are required to be traceable. These will be specified on the data sheets or
otherwise will be as indicated in Appendix 5 of this Standard.
The Purchaser shall have the right to review inspect and monitor the operations of these materials
control systems.
The final “as-built” revision of the data sheet shall correctly state the material of all important
components and formal issue of this data sheet revision shall constitute certification by the Vendor
that these details are correct.
1.9 Unconventional Manufacturing Methods
The Manufacturer shall declare his intention to use any unconventional methods to manufacture or
fabricate any item or component.
In this context, an unconventional method is a method of manufacture which the particular
Manufacturer has not used for closely similar items for a sufficient period for the items to have been
proved satisfactory in service. For example, fabrication by welding of components which hitherto have
been cast or otherwise made from one solid piece.

Rev 0 1988

1.10 Correction of Design/Manufacturing Errors

In the event of any design or manufacturing error, faulty material or accidental damage, the
component to question shall be replaced.
Where it is proposed to recover the component rather than replace it, the method of repair shall
submitted to the Purchaser to obtain Shell Expro's approval. Further, additional tests or calculations
may be required to prove the effectiveness of the repair and that there will be no detrimental effect on
the serviceability of the equipment.
1.11 Acceptance Tests
Mechanical running tests and performance test, when called for, may be attended by the Purchaser
and/or Shell Expro engineers or appointed Consultants.
If required the attending engineer may sign an acceptance certificate. However, signing such a
document signifying or implying approval in any way shall only indicated that the engineer is satisfied
with the conduct of the test. It shall not be construed to mean agreement that the equipment
necessarily complies with the conditions of the order or to relieve the Vendor of his contractual
liabilities in any way.
1.12 Weight Control
For all offshore applications the Vendor shall provide an initial estimate of and shall subsequently
monitor the weight of the equipment he is supplying in accordance with Section 4 of this Standard.
1.13 Conflicting Requirements
Any case of apparent conflict between the requirements of this Standard and any other relevant
document shall be brought to the Purchaser's notice. Unless otherwise agreed the following
descending order of precedence shall apply:
(1) The order (or where no order has yet been placed the enquiry document) and any schedule
specification or data/requisition sheet attached thereto.
(2) This Standard.
(3) Other Shell Standards as referenced herein or in the data/requisition sheet or order (or enquiry).
(4) Other API, ASME, ANSI, BSI, ISO Codes or Standards etc.. as appropriate.
1.14 Reliability
(1) The Vendor shall demonstrate that the reliability/availability aspects of the utility compressed air
package being proposed have been considered in a disciplined and structured manner. The
object of this consideration shall be:
• to estimate the overall reliability/availability of the total package in relation to the duty or
duties which it is intended to perform;
• to identify those components of the package which make a major contribution to
unreliability/unavailability;
• to provide confidence that major potential weaknesses in the package have been
eliminated.
The Vendor shall provide evidence of the reliability/availability of the package with the proposal.
(2) An acceptable procedure to satisfy the above requirements would comprise:
• construct a reliability block diagram such that each “block” represents an item component
or sub-system for which meaningful reliability data can be provided:
• identify the potential failure modes of the “blocks” and the consequence of such failures
on the performance of the package;
• by using a fault tree or equivalent alternative method compute the overall
unreliability/unavailability of the package and identify significant contributors;
• propose modification for consideration by the Purchaser to improve the design.

Page 9 of 47
 ES/079
Rev 0 1988

(3) The Vendor shall declare the data used, the sources thereof and any assumption made. The
Purchaser may wish to review this data and discuss its applicability to the particular equipment.
The Vendor may be required to substantiate any data that is not within the public domain.
(4) In making assessments of availability, the Vendor will need to estimate times-to-restore. For the
purpose of making such estimates, the Vendor may assume, unless otherwise stated, that the
spares holding is in accordance with normal recommendations for the service. The Vendor
should also neglect any delay caused by factors not directly related to the Utility Compressed
Air Package unless a basis for estimating the extent of such delays is provided by the
Purchaser. In the case of failure modes which make a significant contribution to the overall
unavailability, the Vendor may be required to demonstrate that the assumed times to restore
can be achieved.
(5) The overall availability of the complete utility compressed air system to supply compressed air
to specification, as predicted by the analysis shall not be less than 99.9%, or such other value
as may be specified or agreed. The complete utility compressed air system consists of a
number of packages operating in parallel or as standby as specified in this Standard and the
order/enquiry. There will normally be 2 or 3 packages.
(6) The potential Vendor shall include, in the proposal, an extended warranty based on either of the
following principles. Any additional cost for the extended warranty shall be shown separately.
The potential Vendor shall provide details of the facilities available for servicing/repairing the
packages. In either case routine maintenance (such as oil changes) and the time and costs of
transportation offshore will not be included in the downtime or cost analyses.
• vendor's warranty for the packages shall be extended to at least 5 years from
commissioning on the basis of a service/breakdown contract at a fixed annual price to be
agreed at the time of the order; such that a repair service will be provided at no further
cost to the Purchaser/Operator in the event of equipment failure during the agreed
warranty period. If the package fails to achieve the specified availability in any one year,
the fixed price for that year shall be reduced in accordance with an agreed formula;
• the warranty shall initially be extended to cover a trial period of a duration agreed by
Purchaser and Vendor. The package shall substantially achieve the specified availability
for this warranty period. If the package does not achieve the specified availability over the
trail period, the warranty shall be further extended until the specified availability has been
demonstrated over a period equivalent in length to the initial trial period.
The details of the warranty will be specified in the order/enquiry.

3 PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT AND STORAGE

3.1 General
(1) This section describes the minimum procedure to be followed by Vendors and Manufacturers to
ensure the adequate preservation and protection of their mechanical equipment during
transportation and storage prior to unpacking at the module fabrication yard, or any other
manufacturing or fabricating facility that may be specified in the order/enquiry. Procedures for
extended storage (cocooning) of mechanical equipment are not described in this Standard. If
required, such procedures will be covered separately in the order/enquiry, or an attachment
thereto.
(2) THE VENDOR/MANUFACTURER SHALL PRODUCE A DETAILED PRESERVATION AND
PROTECTION PROCEDURE FOR THE PACKAGED UNITS, INCORPORATING THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THIS STANDARD.
Different preservation methods or deviations to the methods described here may be proposed
by the Vendor but shall only be used with the approval of the Purchaser.
The preservation and protection procedures shall also be applied to equipment which is to be
shipped directly to an offshore location; either during initial construction/hook-up, or as
spare/replacement units during operational periods. Any additional preservation/protection
requirements for sea transit or offshore storage shall be advised by the equipment
Vendor/Manufacturer.
(3) Unless otherwise specified, the equipment will be installed on a Shell Expro offshore
installation. Equipment preservation and protection shall be adequate to enable the equipment
to be delivered without suffering damage or deterioration, stored at the module fabrication yard
(or other place of storage that may be specified) for a period and then installed in a module (or
in the open) during the construction phase. The probable storage period will be specified in the
order/enquiry for the equipment and will extend form time of despatch to the time of unpacking
at the fabrication yard. If the storage period is not stated in the order/enquiry, a minimum period
of 12 months shall be assumed. The construction will normally last for a 6-12 month period.
Following construction the module containing the equipment will be transported by barge to the
platform location for final installation, hook-up and process/utility commissioning.
(4) It is recognised that some or all of the preservation and protection applied to the equipment by
the Vendor will, of necessity, be removed at the fabrication yard during equipment installation
and hook-up. If applicable, temporary preservation will then be applied to the equipment for the
sea transit, installation and hook-up phases to ensure adequate protection up to the time of
offshore process/utility commissioning.
The Vendor shall advise the Purchaser of any special measures or precautions which should be
taken during this period.
(5) As long as the equipment packaging and protection remains unopened and undamaged, and is
correctly handled in accordance with the Vendor's marking and shipping instructions, then it
shall remain the responsibility of the Vendor that the equipment supplied remains in the same
condition as when accepted by the Purchaser ex-works.
If the Vendor so wishes, this responsibility may be conditional on the Vendor being allowed to
inspect the equipment preservation/protection at intervals (to be agreed between the Vendor
and Purchaser) and on the Purchaser acting on any reasonable recommendations made by the
Vendor following such inspection visits. Such activities carried out under the Vendor's
supervision, or with the Vendor's approval, shall not relieve the Vendor of his liabilities as
described above.
(6) All items containing preservations an inhibitors shall have prominent warning labels or tags
securely attached advising of procedures cautions, toxicity of materials, hazards, necessity for
removal prior to placing in service and any other salient cautioning factors. When VPI powders
are used inside equipment , red tags shall be attached to the outside indicating the quantity of
bags inside. All materials and procedures shall comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act
etc., 1974. The Guide to Shell Lubricants published by SIPC Ltd. Provides guidance on the use
of Shell preservatives.

Page 23 of 47
 ES/079
Rev 0 1988

(7) All flanged openings shall be provided with gasketted metal protection plates in accordance with
Figure 1 of this Standard. Plastic or wooden plates/closures are not acceptable. The purpose of
these special plates is to enable them to be left in position whilst pipe connections are made.
(8) All open ends of drains, vents, instrument tubing and small bore piping connections shall be
capped or plugged with metal caps or plugs, as applicable. Threaded caps and plugs shall be
used for threaded connections. Grease fittings shall be protected with plastic caps.
(9) Any item of equipment protected internally with a desiccant shall be prominently labelled or
tagged “WARNING- DESICCANT INSIDE”. Desiccant shall be placed in a bag or other suitable
container so as to prevent it dispersing inside the equipment during transit or installation. The
drying of equipment prior to the application of preservative may be done by wiping dry or air
drying. However, all inaccessible areas shall be air dried.
When appropriate, the Vendor shall calculate the amount of desiccant required following the
guidelines on the use of desiccants laid down in BS 1133 Section 19.
NOTE: Desiccant should be not used in combination with Shell VPI Powders.
(10) Warning labels and tags shall be secured with stainless steel wire or rivets (as appropriate), in
such a way that they will remain attached during transit and storage for 12 months under
adverse conditions. Labels and tags shall preferably be of stainless steel, and lettering shall be
a minimum of 10mm high.
(11) Stress corrosion cracking can result when stainless steel equipment is in contact with salt water
at temperatures greater than 50°C. The residual stress in welded equipment can be sufficient to
promote stress corrosion cracking. Extra precautions shall be taken when preserving stainless
steel equipment which will be subjected to a saline environment whether during operation,
transit or installation.
3.2 Minimum Requirements for Utility Compressed Air Packages

7.7 UTILITY COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM OPERATION

(1) General
This section describes the expected system operation for utility compressed air packages.
Where 3 x 50% capacity packages are specified the status of each package will nominally be
selected as duty mode standby mode and emergency standby mode. Where 2 x 100% capacity
packages are specified the status will be duty mode and standby mode.
The system operation will be based on either fully modulated compressor intake throttling
automatic loading and unloading or a combination of both.
The operating pressures for the utility air system will be given in the order/enquiry and will
depend on the selected compressor's rated discharge pressure and the control system
characteristics. Typical system set pressures are given at the end of this Appendix as a guide to
interpreting the following descriptions.
(2) Fully Modulated Compressors
Refer to Figure 2.
When the utility air consumption is within the capacity of the selected duty compressor the
compressor regulator will control the volume of air delivered to maintain a stable delivery
pressure in response to the output signal from the pressure controller in the logic system. The
system pressure will vary between P1 and P2.
When the utility air consumption rises above the capacity of the duty compressor or on failure of
the duty compressor the system pressure will fall below P2. The selected standby machine will
start-up automatically when the system pressure falls to P3. Line E-F represents the
proportional band setting for the standby compressor. the system will operate along line C-D for
an air consumption ranging from Q3 to Q4 and along line D-F for an air consumption ranging
from Q4 to Q2. On failure of the duty compressor the system pressure will be between P5 and
P4. If the utility air consumption then falls so that the pressure in the instrument air header rises
to P6 and provided that the standby compressor has been off load for approximately 10 minutes
the standby compressor should shutdown automatically. The 10 minute delay is to avoid the
machine tripping in and out during fluctuating load operation.
If the system pressure falls below P7 the low pressure alarm will be activated and a priority
control valve (by others) in the plant air supply line will start to restrict the flow of plant air to
maintain instrument air supply pressure. If the system pressure falls further to P8 the low low
pressure alarm will be activated and the emergency standby compressor will start and the plant
air supply will by completely shut off. Surface Process Shutdown shall be initiated when the
system pressure falls to P9.
(3) Loading/Unloading Compressors
The above scheme also applies for on/off loading compressors the only difference being that
the system pressure will oscillate around the set-pressure for the duty compressor if Q is less
than Q1 and around the set-pressure for the standby compressor if Q is less than Q2 but
greater than Q1.
(4) Combined System
A combined modulating and on/off loading system is also acceptable whereby the standby
compressor always goes on full load and the duty compressor takes the extra load for utility air
consumptions above the capacity of one compressor.
Refer to Figure 2.
When the utility air consumption is within the capacity of the selected duty compressor the
system will approximately operated along line A-B with the pressure ranging from P1 to P2.
When the utility air consumption rises above the capacity of the duty compressor or on failure of
the duty compressor the system pressure will fall below P2. The selected standby machine will
start-up when the pressure fall to P3.

Page 43 of 47
 ES/079
Rev 0 1988

The standby compressor will discharge its full capacity because it is set to operate on full load
and rotary compressors can be regarded as constant flow machines for compressed air
applications in a 5-10 bar output range. set pressure of the standby compressor will be P4
above P2 ( being the lowest system pressure when only the duty compressors is on line). The
compressor regulator/logic system fed from the instrument air header will then modulate the
duty compressor until and equilibrium pressure is reached along line AB eg PX for consumption
QX.
Should the utility air consumption then fall so that the pressure in the instrument air header
reaches P4 the standby machine will run unloaded. If it has operated on zero load for
approximately 10 minutes the standby compressor will shutdown automatically.

Notes: 1. Pressures are in bar g.

2. NCNS is Northern and Central North Sea.
SNS is Southern North Sea.
3. Above figures are based on normal operating pressure in the distribution system of 8.3
bar g for NCNS and 7.3 bar g for SNS a receiver operating pressure of 9 bar g for
NCNS and 8 bar g for SNS (allowing 0.7 bar pressure drop between the receiver and
distribution system at design quantity of continuous air and clean conditions).
