Node No. 1 Describe Transfer Ethane from Deethanizer to C2 KO Pot

Intention The intent is to transfer 150,000 lb/hr of C2/C2= mix at 300 psig and at -30 °F for the startup period.

Guide Wrd High Param Flow Dev'n High Flow

Possible Causes
1 FV-1 Wide open
2 Line break.
3
Consequences
1 High level in KO pot with liquid carry-over to compressor with serious damage to rotor. Potential hydrocarbons release.
2 Potential hydrocarbon release.
3
Safeguards
1 High level alarm LAH-1
2 High - High level alarm HHLA - 1 shutdown.
3 Vessel inspection yearly.
Recommendation / Actions Respib By Date
1 Consider limiting flow orifice, auto SD trip on High-High level, smart check valve. 1 JB 1-Jan-99
2 Determine extent of typical hydrocarbon release. 2 PM 15-Jan-99
3 Set-up vessel inspection yearly. 3 FD 30-Jan-99

Hazard & Operability Studies Check List Example

1 Changes In Quantity a High Flow 1 Pump racing, delivery vessel pressure lost, Loss of automatic
suction pressurized, scale dislodged, leak in control
heat exchanger
b Low Flow 2 Pump failure, scaling of delivery, presence Operator error
of foreign body, poor suction condition,
cavitation, leak in heat exchanger, drain
leak, valve jammed
c No Flow 3 Pump failure, delivery vessel Failure of joint, pipe,
overpressurized, gas blockage, presence of valve, trap, bursting
foreign body, scale, sediment, suction disc, relief valve.
vessel empty.
d Reverse Flow 4 Pump failure, pump reversed, delivery
vessel over pressurized, poor isolation, gas
locking, surging, back siphoning.

2 Changes in physical a High or Low 1 Boiling, cavitation, freezing, chemical

condition pressure breakdown, flashing, condensation,
sedimentation, scaling, foaming, gas
release, priming, exploding, imploding.
Changes in viscosity, density. External Fire,
Weather conditions, Hammer.
b High or Low 2 same as 1

c Static buildup 3 Source of Ignition, Personnel shock.

3 Changes in chemical a High or Low 1 Changes in proportion of mixture, in water or

condition Conentration solvent content.
b Contaminants 2 Ingress of air, water, steam, fuel, lubricant,
corrosion products, other process materials
from high pressure system, leakage through
heat exchangers. gas entrainment, spray,
