START-UP PROCEDURE for MM0540012-20 Solar Turbines PDVSA #1

– 9 with 1each Air Compressor, with Nitrogen system 2each filter trains
for maintenance.

Nitrogen Generation Process System

The Nitrogen Generation Process System is designed to run with one air compressor and
nitrogen unit with one train active. In the case that there is a problem with the current running
compressor and nitrogen unit the customer will send input signal from Solar Turbine to CC2 TB3-
11/12 to tell PLC to open bottle rack solenoid which will energize output 8 on CC2 TB3-15/16 will
open SV-28-1 for back up nitrogen rack.

Begin Production

Following procedure needed to be followed to begin production. Walk down unit to verify
one filter system is open and all other valves are closed. Turn power switch on at CC1
panel then let panel view on CC2 clear to verify no alarms. Check for permissive run
from Solar Turbine to CC2 TB3-9/10 for input 14. go to flow screen top left there will be
compressor start/stop press F8 to start air compressor the screen will change saying
verify no pressure in line. Look at PI-11-1 it should read 0psi if not use ball valves to
relieve pressure. Push F4 on HMI to start air compressor let pressure build to about
100psi then put nitrogen unit in auto on CC2 panel. The nitrogen unit will vent several
minutes in warm up till unit reaches temperature requirements then the purity control
valve FCV 23-1 will start closing to bring purity within spec and vent valve will close then
product valve will open. When complete monitor pressures, temperatures and alarms
through out the day/night
