1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

1.1.1 Location

Wafa field is located in the South West part of Libya, adjacent to the Libyan-Algerian
border.

1.1.2 Manual Objectives

The objectives of the Operating Manual are as follows:


a) Serves as basic textbook for operator training prior to start-up.
b) Provides for detailed instructions and explanations for initial and normal start-up
procedures.
c) Provides necessary start-up sequencing steps.
d) The instructions complement the Process and Piping/ Instrument Diagrams, and
manufacturer's instructions, by providing the necessary information for their
interpretation.
e) The manual provides a concise operator reference for necessary instrumentation
settings, flow sheets, electrical one-line, and special instructions dealing with upset
conditions, shutdown sequences, and safety considerations.

The function of plant operations is surveillance of all plant equipment and systems for
proper operation. These functions include sampling, continuous equipment
observations, recording normal and abnormal plant conditions, and most important is
making necessary adjustments to maintain high recovery and on specification products.

The operating manual provides the operator with information to supplement his basic
mechanical operating skills. It is most essential that supervisors and operators become
intimately familiar with physical installations, locations and components of equipment,
and can trace all lines and valves from start to finish. Repetition will greatly accelerate
the acquisition of this knowledge.

The operating manual does not relieve the plant operators from good judgment and
safe practices. Though the plant is protected by safeguards, alertness on the part of
each operator will insure proper functioning of plant equipment and minimize relieving
and flare operations. In time; additional plant operational experiences will develop; and
from these, additional procedures can be written to supplement this manual.

1.1.3 Overall Plant Objective

The Wafa Desert Plant is to process, treat and condition NG-1, NG-2, SG-1, NO-1, NO-
2 well streams and well streams near the Plant to produce sales gas. The plant facilities
are designed to process 450 MMSCFD of gas, and to produce liquid (condensate +
NGL) which will be implement the final treatment and fractionation process of the liquids

1.1.5 Links With Other Plants or Installation

The Western Libya Gas Project (WLGP) entails developing two reservoirs, the former
(Wafa field) located in an onshore desert area 500 km from the Mediterranean coast,
the latter (NC-41 block) located offshore and covering an area between 30 and 350 km.
from the Libyan coast in water depth ranging from 70 to 350 m.

Production from both fields will sum up to 11.1 BSCM/Y (inclusive 11% swing factor) of
sales gas, 60,600/39,000 SBPD of stabilized oil/condensate, 15,000 SBPD of liquid
propane, 13,000 SBPD of liquid butane and 530 t/day of liquid sulphur.

Sales Gas/ Treated Oil on shore pipeline from the Desert to the Coastal and Mellitah
Plant are other contract projects.

2.1.3 Plant Capacity and List of Units

The Wafa Plant design treatment capacity has been fixed on the basis of the normal
3
sales gas delivery requirement of 4.0 BSm /y of sales gas to the two Mellitah gas fiscal
metering stations dedicated to exportation to Italy and to local market.
This is a net delivery amount after having subtracted all facilities consumptions.
In addition, a peak factor, referred to as the “swing factor”, of 11% has been considered
to fix the maximum plant operating capacity.

From the above, the following detailed breakdown has been calculated:

Table 2.1.1 – Wafa Sales gas production breakdown


3
Required Delivery to MGCS 4,00 BSm /y +
MGCS Fuel Gas Consumption 0,05 BSm3/y +
Wafa Coastal Plant Fuel Gas Consumption 0,13 BSm3/y =
3
Gas export from Wafa Desert 4,18 BSm /y =
Gas export from Wafa Desert 405 MMSCFD *1.11=
Gas export from Wafa Desert with Swing Factor 450 MMSCFD =
Gas export from Wafa Desert with Swing Factor 22411 kmoles/h

The above tabled peak flow rate given at the export pipeline inlet has been considered
as the gas production target for the plant simulation work.
3
In addition, an internal fuel gas consumption of 65.3 MMSCFD, e.g. 77,000 Sm /h has
been considered for the Wafa Central (Desert) Plant facilities.

As a general, in addition to the “Swing factor” of 11% that has been taken into account
for the whole plant facilities, a general over design engineering margin of 10% was
applied to all pieces of equipment, lines, etc., with the exception of the following items:

¨ The export compressor and Expedition pumps, which feed respectively the sales
gas and oil pipelines. These items are sized for the peak flow rate, e.g. based on
Swing factor production, without any other over design margins.
¨ The oil and gas pipelines, which are sized for the peak flow rate, e.g. based on
Swing factor production, without any other over design margins.

No stringent turndown capabilities are requested for the Wafa plant facilities.

The equipment is designed with the best turndown factor that can be achieved by
available standard technology, the purpose being not to affect equipment availability
and reliability through excessive turndown requirements.

Typically, each equipment has a turndown capacity of 50 %.

The Process Units which are foreseen at Wafa Plant as shown in para. 1.1.3 to
accomplish the treatment of the feedstock.

2.1.4 Overall system availability target

The availability target is to achieve:


- Maximum allowed yearly downtime for WAFA Desert Plant, equal to 28 days at 50 %
gas production rate.
It includes unexpected downtime period and scheduled downtime period (for routine
maintenance and major overhaul). Said target is to be considered a maximum figure
and it is not expected every year.
- Allowed total yearly shutdown equal to 0.5 %; it means that the total gas production
at Wafa desert can be zero (due to a unscheduled shut-down) only for less than
0.5 % of the yearly time (i.e. 43.8 hours);

To reach the above said target the basic philosophy that will be applied is to split the oil
separation/treatment plant and the gas separation/treatment plant into two parallel
trains sized at 50% capacity each.
Exceptions to this philosophy will be taken in some places where single equipment will
be spared, but keeping the general concept that 50 % of production has to be
maintained.

This is considered to satisfy the max yearly shutdown target because:

a) the probability of two parallel lines shut down at the same time for accidental
reasons is extremely low;
b) in case one line is in major overhaul, the other line could be affected only by small
emergency situations which can be solved in short time, enabling said line to
restart well before the period of 43.8 h. In fact all items more likely subject of
failures, such as rotary equipment, will be spared adequately. Failure of static
equipment is not considered.

The target of max total yearly downtime at 50 % capacity is considered reached since it
is possible to operate maintenance on one train keeping half of the plant production.
For sure this will require a careful planning of the maintenance.

The consequence of the required availability target on utilities units is that:


- the global availability for all utility facilities directly linked to plant production, such
as Flare, Fuel Gas, Power Generation, Instrument Air, Cooling Water, Steam &
Condensate and Fresh Water Treatment Systems shall be at least as high as that
of process units (>99.5%);
- some utilities (HP flare) shall be split into two systems, each one dedicated to one
Process train;
- even if utility distribution is common to process trains, an adequate sparing of
equipment and control valves shall be foreseen in order to ensure at least half of
the production practically 100 % of the time.

2.3 Feedstock and Product Specifications

2.3.1 Feedstock Characteristics

2.3.1.1 General

Feedstocks to the plant facilities are the reservoir fluids coming from the North Oil, the
North Gas and the South Gas fields’ wells.
Gas well fluid has been considered to be produced from both North and South gas
wells, e.g. according to Base Case scenario. Anyhow no significant change is to be
faced in the Worst Case scenario, e.g. when South Gas field does not produce.

Three years have been simulated, along the plant facilities production period. Each of
them happen to be the sizing case of some sections of the facilities, namely:

¨ Year 1, which mainly design the liquid treatment facilities


¨ Year 2, which mainly design the off-gas compression facilities
¨ Year 10, which mainly design the gas facilities

The composition of North Oil, North Gas and South Gas reservoir fluids are the one
defined in the “Feedstock Composition Study” T-53-T-O-0001 00 with the following
updating performed during the development of the heat and material balances:

¨ In the oil composition the water has been increased in order to have the maximum
expected formation water flow rate at each of the above mentioned design years.
This avoids to have an additional design year for water treating facilities.

¨ Flow rate adjustments on North and South gas wells have been performed in order
to match the Wafa Plant sales gas peak production, as defined in paragraph 2.1.3.
As a basic premise applied to the final throughput tuning, for each considered year,
the ratio between North gas and South gas flow rates has been kept equal to the

2.3.2 Products Characteristics

2.3.2.1 Products specifications

Actually, the Wafa Desert Plant facilities do produce gas at sales product specification.
On the other hand, the Wafa Coastal Plant will implement the final treatment and
fractionation process of the liquids so as to achieve the requested commercial grade
specifications of the liquid products, e.g. Propane, Butane and Stabilized Oil.

The following table lists the sales gas product specification.


Refer to the relevant Wafa Coastal documentation for the specifications of the liquid
products.

2.3.2.2 Products compositions

As highlighted above, production from the Wafa Desert Plant facilities consists of:
¨ A gas stream of sales gas quality that is routed to Mellitah for export to end users via
a cross-country monophasic gas pipeline.
¨ an unstabilised oil stream, e.g. NGL stream cut, that is routed to Mellitah for further
treatment and fractionation in order to produce liquids of commercial grade quality. A
cross-country monophasic liquid pipeline ensures the transportation.

Compositions and flowrates of the Wafa Desert Plant facilities product streams are
given in the following tables (2.3.7 and 2.3.8).

2.3.2.3 NGL products

The feed gas after dehydration and demercurization in Unit 11/12-310 and 11/12-350 is
treated by the CRYOMAX® licensed process to produce the de-ethanized NGL
products in the Dew Point Control Unit 11/12-340.

2.4 Battery Limit Conditions

2.4.1 Battery limits conditions with gathering system

The Wafa gathering system processes the gas wells and the oil wells effluents to the
Wafa Plant facilities.
Operating pressures and temperatures of the oil and gas slugcatchers at the Wafa
gathering battery limits are given in the following tables for all the design cases and for
both summer and winter conditions (2.4.1 and 2.4.2).
Inlet temperatures to slugcatchers are obtained as a weighted average of the arrival
temperatures from Clusters NG-1, NG-2, CP, SG-1 and NO-1 and NO-2.
It also accounts for the step-wise pressure profile of the gas and oil slugcatchers.

The tabled figures refer to year 1 of operation, design reference for both pipelines.

The ranges given for inlet pressure are related to different assumption on pipe
roughness, pipeline actual length, number of bends etc.

The facilities design includes an operating margin with regard to the gas pipeline
operation, so that export sales gas may be delivered to the pipeline at pressure level up
to 77.2 bara.

The simulations have been performed considering pressure drops varying from summer
to winter due to different soil temperature and a fixed pressure point for each pipeline.
In the gas pipeline the fixed pressure point is the arrival at Mellitah (35 bara). In the
liquid pipeline a 10 bar margin above fluid vapor pressure has been imposed all along
the pipeline.

2.4.3 Byproduct pressures and temperatures

The Wafa desert fuel gas system is divided into MP fuel gas and LP fuel gas.
The former is supplied from Export Gas 2nd Storage Knock Out Drum (10-362-
VA002A/B/C) as Sales Gas, and the latter is from Rich Amine Flash Drum (11/12-330-
VA003) as Rich Amine Flash Gas.
Operating pressures and temperatures of the fuel gas system inlet are given in the
following tables.

3. PROCESS DESCRIPTION

3.1 Unit 130/200 – Inlet Oil Reception Facilities

3.1.1 Process Theory

(1) 20-130-VQ-003/004 (Oil Slugcatchers)

Oil Slugcatchers are designed to separate gas from liquid and specifically to absorb the
possible slugs from trunklines linking North Oil Satellites to Wafa Desert Plant.

A) Vapor/Liquid Separation Requirement


Free liquid droplet above 300μm can be removed from the gas in the Oil
Slugcatchers by gravity.

B) Rough Hydrocarbon/Water Separation


Water droplet above 1,000μm can be removed from the hydrocarbon phase in
the Oil Slugcatchers boots by gravity.

C) Maximum Slug Volume


75m3 per each, i.e., 150m3 as total
Design basis of the maximum slug volume is the sum of the following two cases.
¨ Slugging due to the pigging operation of the trunkline from NO-1 to CP
¨ Hydrodynamic slugging in the trunkline from NO-2 to CP

(2) 20-130-VZ-003/004 (Oil Slugcatcher OVHD Separators)

Liquid droplets larger or equal to 50μm can be removed from the raw gas by in-line
vane type separator.

(3) 10-200-VA-001A/B (Inlet Oil Slugcatcher KO Drums)

Liquid droplets larger or equal to 50μm can be removed from the raw gas by vane
pack type separator.

20-130-VQ-003/004 (*)

(*) The process description from the oil wells to the oil slugcatchers shall be referred
to the Operating Manual of module 52(Gathering Network).

The reservoir effluent from the wells of the Wafa oil field, collected in the oil inlet
manifold, is sent to the First Oil Slugcatcher 20-130-VQ-003 and the Second Oil
Slugcatcher 20-130-VQ-004.
The two items are normally operated, each sized for half of the overall production.
Dedicated isolation facilities allow to process half of the North oil field production in one
item, whilst the other one is shutdown.
Temporary Demulsifier & Hydrate formation inhibitor injection connections are provided
for possible use during transient operations. Injection point is located at slugcatchers
associated gas overhead line. Also temporary scale inhibitor injection connection is
provided at slug catcher inlet.
The gas stream from the Slugcatchers is connected to Slugcatcher OVHD Separators
20-130-VZ-003/004 respectively and then routed under pressure control to the Inlet Oil
Slugcatcher KO Drums 10-200-VA-001A/B.
Each of the two OVHD Separators and KO Drums is sized to process half of the gas
fields production.

The pressure controller, 10-200-PIC-003, actually controls the oil gathering production.
Pressure signal is identically sent to the two KO Drums inlet pressure control valves,
10-200-PV-003A/B, installed in parallel. Flow meters, FI-003/004, which are installed on
the raw gas outlet lines of KO Drums respectively, show any unbalanced split of flow
between the two Drums, in case of possible internals plugging.

Corrosion inhibitor is continuously injected in the Oil Slugcatchers liquid phase.

Project Specification

A Slugcatcher boot is provided to allow for rough water / hydrocarbon decantation.


Water and hydrocarbon streams are withdrawn separately under dedicated level control
loops, 20-130-LDIC-003B/004B & LIC-003A/004A. This is to reduce to minimum the
possibility of emulsion formation when throttling down the oily water mixture. As an
ultimate precaution, demulsifier injection facilities are provided upstream of the
slugcatchers oil level-flow cascade control valves, 10-200-FV-001/011.
Temporary Demulsifier & Hydrate formation inhibitor injection connections are provided
for possible use during transient operations. Injection point is located upstream of the
slugcatchers aqueous level-flow cascade control valves, 10-200-FV-002/012.

The level and the interface level in each Slugcatcher boot are controlled respectively by
the hydrocarbon stream outlet and by the water stream outlet in cascade with ultrasonic
flow controllers, 10-200-FIC-001/011 & FIC-002/012.
A gas balance line is provided between the upper part of each Slugcatcher boot and
the corresponding Slugcatcher overhead gas manifold to avoid entrapped gas build-up
and possible unsteady flow.
Dedicated guard strainers are installed upstream of the Slugcatcher liquid control
valves to limit to minimum valves damaging / clogging by solids.
The aqueous and oily liquid streams are collected in the same header and sent to the
Inlet Separators 10-210-VA-001 A/B.
The gas from the Inlet Oil Slugcatcher KO Drums 10-200-VA-001A/B is mixed and sent
to the Offgas Compressor Filters 10-361-CL-001 A/B.

After the first pressure/production plateau period of the oil wells, oil wells depletion
becomes significant especially for the production rate. The operating pressure of the Oil
Slugcatchers is decreased from 25barA(at year1) to 13barA(at year 10). The following
actions shall be considered in this unit to cope with this depletion.

On the KO Drums common overhead gas manifold, a pressure blow-off valve, 10-200-
PV-032, to HP Flare is installed for start-up purpose and upset conditions.
The KO Drums liquid pipework is equipped with permanent corrosion inhibitor injection
facilities.
Temporary Hydrate formation inhibitor injection connections are also provided for
possible use during transient operating conditions at KO Drums bottom liquid line.
The KO Drums liquid is sent under on-off type level control, 10-200-LIC-023/026, to the
unit outlet liquid header to feed the Rerun Drum 10-210-VA-004.

HIPS

Raw gas lines to the Inlet Oil Slugcatcher KO Drums are divided into two pressure
ratings, 300# and 150#, at the control valves, 10-200-PV-003A/B.
HIPS (High Integrity Protection System) is provided to for the facility to:

¨ Protect the 150# rating equipment/piping downstream of the control valves against
overpressure.
¨ Eliminate design consideration for gas relieving case due to fully opened control
valves and allow reasonable capacity of the flare system.

Two out of three high pressure switches, 10-200-PT-023A/B/C & PT-026A/B/C, shall
shut off two dedicated SDVs, 10-200-SDV-004/005 & SDV-006/007 in series on each
gas line, i.e. high high pressure signal in one train initiates shutdown of only its own

Project Specification

The HIPS system on the raw gas line from the oil reception facility meets the probabilistic SIL
(Safety Integrity Level) 2 requirement based on a full stroke test interval of two years.

The HIPS system meets the architectural SIL 2 requirements as the test interval does not affect
the Safe Failure Fraction or Hardware Fault Tolerance of initiators, logic solver or final element.

Based on the consideration of both probabilistic requirements and architectural constraints, the
HIPS system meets the SIL 2 requirement, which is the same as that of a pressure safety valve.

3.2 Unit 210 – Liquid Stabilization Unit

3.2.1 Process Theory

(1) 10-210-VA-001AB (Inlet Separator)

Inlet separators are designed for 3-phase (gas, hydrocarbon and water) separation.
A) 100% liquid droplets larger or equal to 50μm can be removed from the raw gas by
vane pack type separator.
B) Max. 5 vol.% water is contained in hydrocarbon liquid as per Heat & Material
Balance.

(2) 10-210-HA-001AB (Condensate Desalter Preheaters)

These preheaters are designed to raise the hydrocarbon condensate temperature to 70


degC. The heating medium is the stabilized condensate product.

(3) 10-210-UV-001/002 (Condensate Desalters)

These electrostatic desalters are designed to remove the corrosive free aqueous phase
from the hydrocarbon condensate upstream of the stabilization column.
The basic separation theory is that electrodes apply electric charges to dispersed water
droplets forcing them to migrate toward each other enhancing coalescence and
gravitational separation.

The detailed theory is described as follows:


®
NATCO Dual Polarity Desalters, which combine both AC and DC fields, will be
installed. The DC field is established by connecting both plates to the same terminal of
the AC transformer through diodes with each plate charged during half of the AC cycle.
The charge is maintained between cycles by capacitive storage. This design also
creates an AC field between the edges of the plates and oil/water interface, and
between the plates and walls of the vessel.
¨ Large droplets coalesce in the AC field outside the plates.
¨ Small droplets in the DC field pickup a charge from the nearest electrode and
accelerate toward the oppositely charged plate, colliding with the other drops,
coalescing and settling out.

The specifications of desalter effluents are as follows:

HC of the desalter outlet


¨ Water content: Max. 0.1% vol.
¨ Salt content: Max. 20PTB (Pounds per Thousand Barrel oil)

Effluent water of the desalter outlet


¨ Oil content: 150ppm wt

The Inlet Separators 10-210-VA-001 A/B

The Inlet Separators receive the streams listed below:

A) Liquids from Unit 10-300 – Inlet Gas Reception facilities


B) Liquids from Unit 10-200 – Inlet Oil Reception facilities
C) Hydrocarbons from Unit 10-361 – Off Gas Compression
D) Hydrocarbons from Unit 10-360 – Inlet Gas Compression

G) Recycle off-spec condensate from Off Spec Pump 10-220-PA-003
H) Liquids from Rerun Drum Pumps 10-210-PA-005 A/B

The two separators are operated in parallel, performing 3-phase separation.


Each separator is sized to process half of the unit design capacity.
A symmetrical piping arrangement allows for rough flow balancing to the two drums.

The overhead gas streams from the two separators are mixed in a common overhead
gas manifold and routed to Off Gas Compressor Filters 10-361-CL-001 A/B under
pressure control, 10-210-PIC-115.
On Drums common overhead gas manifold, a pressure blow-off valve, 10-210-PV-013,
to flare is installed for start-up purpose and upset conditions.

The separated water is sent to the process oily water system, under interface level
control, 10-210-LDIC-011/012.

The hydrocarbon condensate is sent to the Condensate Desalter Preheaters 10-210-


HA-001A/B by Desalter Feed Pumps 10-210-PA-001 A/B/C, under level control, 10-
210-LIC-012/022, operating in cascade with flow control valves, 10-210-FV-012/022,
downstream of the Preheaters.

At pumps suction, facilities 10-210-XX-001/002 are provided for corrosion inhibitor and
demulsifier chemicals injection. Also, anti-scale may be injected depending upon actual
operating need.

In normal operation, the condensate from each Inlet Separator is processed by one
dedicated Desalter Feed Pump, the third one being in stand-by mode as a common
spare. Motorised valves are installed and operated via a dedicated PLC sequence to
ease pump change-over.

The pumps minimum flow recycle is performed under flow control acting two dedicated
valves, 10-210-FV-011/021, recycling back to 10-210-VA-001A/B respectively.

In the Preheaters, the hydrocarbon condensate is heated by the stabilized condensate


from Stabilizers bottom.

The raw condensate temperature is controlled independently at each Preheaters outlet


by two temperature controllers, each of them being dedicated to one exchanger, acting
on three way valves, 10-210-TCV-031/035, to bypass the exchanger hot side.

Hydrocarbon desalting in 1st and 2nd Desalters 10-210-VU-001 & 002

Raw condensate is desalted and dehydrated normally in a two-stage desalting process.


The design intention is to reduce the normal water consumption.

Nevertheless, the facilities are designed to achieve the same condensate dehydration
and desalting performances with only one single desalter in operation. In this case, the
flow rate shall be decreased to half the design capacity.
During such an operation, fresh water consumption is increased from 3m3/hr in normal
to 20m3/hr. Fresh water supply facilities are designed to comply with such an
exceptional demand.

The condensate from the two Preheaters are mixed together with the desalter water
recycle from the Desalter Water Recycle Pumps 10-210-PA-002 A/B/C and then feed
the 1st Condensate Desalter 10-210-VU-001 through a mixing valve, 10-210-PDV-042,
operated under differential pressure control.

In order to maintain a proper amount of total dilution water to be injected upstream of


the first Desalter 10-210-VU-001, part of the salted water outlet is recycled back, via the
Desalter Water Recycle pumps, upstream of the inlet mixing valve. The excess of water
is removed from the desalting facilities to the process oily water system under interface
level control, 10-210-LDIC-042.
st
The condensate stream from the 1 Condensate Desalter is then mixed with fresh
nd
water, prior to feed the 2 Condensate Desalter 10-210-VU-002 through a mixing valve,
10-210-PDV-054, operated under differential pressure control.
Water recovered from 10-210-VU-002 feeds the Desalter Water Recycle Pumps. Part is
recycled upstream of the inlet mixing valve of the second Desalter, whilst the remaining
part is recycled back to the first Condensate Desalter under interface level control, 10-
210-LDIC-052.

In a single-stage operation, connections are provided in order to allow for fresh water
injection upstream of the Desalter in service, and salted water removal to the process
oily water system under interface level control.
Finally, the facilities are equipped with dedicated motorised valves operated via a
dedicated PLC sequence to ease Desalters change-over operation from two-stage
desalters in operation to one-stage desalter in operation, and vice-versa.

The Desalters operating pressure is controlled by a dedicated pressure controller, 10-


210-PIC-053, resetting two downstream liquid flow control loops, 10-210-FIC-051A/B,
which split the flow to the two Stabilizer towers 10-210-VE-001A/B. This allows the
desalting operating pressure to maintain above the liquid bubble point.

Two identical stabilization systems (A+B) are installed in parallel.

Liquid from desalting treatment section is sent to the two Stabilizer Feed Bottom
Exchangers 10-210-HA-003 A/B under a bias-ratio flow controller, 10-210-FIC-051A/B,
reset by the desalting section pressure controller, 10-210-PIC-053. This allows to
maintain the desalting operating pressure above the liquid bubble point as well as to
split the feed to the two downstream parallel stabilization systems.

After heat recovery in the Feed Bottom Exchangers, the hydrocarbon feed the
Condensate Stabilizer 10-210-VE-001 A/B.
The feed temperature of the Stabilizer is controlled by a three way control valve, 10-
210-TCV-263/274, installed on the exchanger bypass on the feed side inlet.
The overhead vapor is partially condensed in the Stabilizer Reflux Condenser 10-210-
HC-002A/B and then collected in the Stabilizer Reflux Drum 10-210-VA-002A/B, which
achieves a three phase separation.
The vapor stream is sent to the Off Gas Compressor Filters 10-361-CL-001A/B under
pressure control, 10-210-PIC-113/114. On the Stabilizer Reflux Drum, a pressure blow-
off valve, 10-210-PCV-065/077 to flare is installed for start-up purpose and upset
conditions.

The liquid hydrocarbon stream from the Reflux Drum is pumped back by the Stabilizer
Reflux Pumps 10-210-PA-003A/B & 004A/B as the reflux to the top tray of the
Condensate Stabilizer under a flow / level cascade control loop, 10-210-LC-FC-081/091.

The decanted water in boot is sent under on-off type interface level control, 10-210-
LDIC-082/092, to the process oily water system.

A water draw-off pot is installed to allow for water removal from the top 4 trays of the
Condensate Stabilizers. During normal operation, no water condensation is expected to
occur inside the top of the tower.
The water accumulated in the draw-off pot is routed manually to the process oily water
system by checking 10-210-LDI-062/072.

The Stabilizer Reboilers 10-210-HA-004A/B are kettle type and heated with hot oil.
They are controlled by the hot oil flow controller, 10-210-FIC-061/071, reset by sensitive
tray temperature controller, TIC-066/076. Its action is overridden by the bottom product
temperature, 10-210-TIC-069/079, in case too low bottom temperature.

The stabilized condensates from the bottom of the Condensate Stabilizers are
independently sent in series to:

1) the Stabilizer Feed Bottom Exchangers, 10-210-HA-003A/B, where they are


cooled down by heat exchange with Stabilizer Feed;
2) the Stabilized Condensate Air Coolers, 10-210-HC-001A/B, their outlet
temperature being controlled acting on a by-pass valve;
3) the Condensate Desalter Preheaters, 10-210-HA-001A/B, where they are
cooled down against the Desalter feed;
4) the Stabilized Condensate Trim Coolers, 10-210-HA-002A/B using cooling
water as the cold sink.

Downstream of the Trim Coolers, the two parallel streams from the Units A & B are
mixed and routed under level control valves, 10-210-LV-063/073, to the Stabilized
Condensate Storage Tanks 10-220-TA-001/002.

In case of off-specification, the condensate production is routed to the Rerun Drum 10-
210-VA-004 under Stabilizer tower level control, for proper reprocessing.
One dedicated hand switch, 10-210-HS-101A/B, allows the off-specification product to
route to the Rerun Drum.

The Rerun Drum operation 10-210-VA-004

The Rerun Drum is operated at almost atmospheric pressure, breathing on the LP flare
system. It is not normally in operation. It is designed to receive the following streams:

A) Liquids from Stabilized Condensate Trim Cooler, 10-210-HA-002 A or B in case


of condensate off-specification production
B) Liquids from Inlet Oil Slugcatcher KOD, 10-200-VA-001A/B
C) Liquid hydrocarbon from Drain Sump Pumps, 10-550-PH-001/002/004/010/011
& 11/12-550-PH-001
D) Liquids from Flare Pumps, 10-230-PA-001/2/3/A/B
E) Liquids from Slop Oil Pump, 10-330-PA-002, removing hydrocarbon from amine
systems
F) NGL recycle from Deethanizer bottom, 11 or 12-340-VE-001

The liquids from Rerun Drum is pumped by the Rerun Drum Pumps, 10-210-PA-005
A/B, to one of the following equipment:

¨ Burn Pit Drum 10-240-VA-001 for disposal


¨ Inlet Separators 10-210-VA-001 A/B for reprocessing
¨ (The most significant recycle occurs during the NO-NGL operating mode.)
¨ Stabilized Condensate Storage Tanks 10-220-TA-001/002, mainly in case of
condensate off-specification production

During the shutdown period of Rerun Drum, by-pass facilities are provided to allow all
the streams to be sent to the Burn Pit Drum directly.

Hot oil coil, which is not normally used, is installed in Rerun Drum to protect the water
content from freezing.

Well Depletion

After the first pressure/production plateau period of the oil wells, oil wells depletion
becomes significant especially for the production rate.
In this unit, the replacement of the following instruments will be foreseen to cope with
this depletion.

3.2.3 Process Variables

Major process variables, which control and optimize the process, are described
below. The variables related to the Condensate Desalters are to be referred to the
Operation and Maintenance Manual submitted by NATCO JAPAN.

(1) Inlet Separators, 10-210-VA-001A/B

The pressure controller, PIC-115, controls the operating pressure (9.7 barG) of 10-210-
VA-001A/B at which 3-phase separation of gas, wet oil and water is conducted. The
wet oil flow rate is under a flow / level cascade control loop, LC-FC-012/022.

Unexpected feed V/F and flow rate may affect the inlet separators operation. Bigger
wet oil flow rate may deteriorate the dehydration/desalting performance in Desalters.
On the other hand, smaller wet oil flow rate may raise the storage temperature of
stabilized condensate product due to insufficient heat exchanges.

(2) Condensate Stabilizer System

The purpose of condensate stabilizer system is to stabilize the condensate by removing


the lighter components. The stabilized product is continuously been analyzing by RVP
analyzer and the removed light components are recovered in Off Gas Compression
unit. The normal RVP value is set 0.65 barA to protect the atmospheric condensate
storage tank against HC venting/rupture.

Project Specification

The operating pressure (9.5 barG) of Condensate Stabilizers, 10-210-VE-001A/B, is


maintained constant and the outlet temperature (55 degC) of Reflux Condenser is
controlled.

Unexpected feed compositions and flow rate may affect the stabilizer operation. The
higher RVP value, i.e., lighter condensate product means less lighter components are
recovered in OVHD vapor. Therefore, in order to recover more lighter components, the
following actions are to be taken.

A) Increase the hot oil flow rate in Stabilizer Reboilers, 10-210-HA-004A/B, by 10-
210-FIC-061/071. The hot oil flow rate is reset by sensitive tray temperature
controller, TIC-066/076. Its action is overridden by the bottom product
temperature, 10-210-TIC-069/079, in case too low bottom temperature.

B) Raise the feed temperature by 10-210-TIC-263/274. The feed temperature is


controlled by a three way control valves, 10-210-TCV-263/274, installed on the
exchanger bypass on the feed side inlet.

C) Decrease the reflux rate by 10-210-FIC-081/091. The reflux to the top tray of
the Condensate Stabilizer is under a flow / level cascade control loop, 10-210-
LC-FC-081/091.

Stabilized Condensate Tank

The Stabilized Condensate from 10-210-HA-002A/B is stored in the Stabilized


Condensate Storage Tanks 10-220-TA-001/002, which are blanketed with nitrogen.
Off-specification condensate from Rerun Drum Pumps 10-210-PA-005A/B may also be
stored in the storage tanks.
Actually, in normal operation, condensate production is routed to one storage tank. The
other tank is kept empty, ready to handle with off-specification condensate from the
Rerun Drum Pump, according to operating requirements.
The storage facilities are equipped with dedicated valves operated via a dedicated PLC
sequence to tank change-over

On-spec Condensate

The Liquid Booster Pumps 10-220-PA-001A/B/C pump condensate from the tank to
feed the downstream Liquid Export Pumps 10-220-PA-002A/B/C. Each of these pumps
is sized to process half of the design condensate production.
Hence, during normal operation, each of the two sets of pumps, Booster and Export, is
designed with two pumps running, the third one being used as a common spare in
stand-by mode.

Liquid Export Pumps are of variable speed type (fluid coupling). The liquid level in the
storage tanks is normally not controlled and vary depending upon plant production and
liquid pipeline operating capacity.

However, in case of high or low liquid level, Export Pumps’ speed will be reset by the
liquid level, 10-220-LIC-001/011, of the tank that is processing condensate to the
pumps. Proper level tank signal selection is ensured by a dedicated hand switch, 10-
220-HS-003.

Off-spec Condensate

An Off Spec Pump 10-220-PA-003 is provided to recycle off-specification condensate


production to the Inlet Separators 10-220-VA-001A/B under flow control, 10-220-FIC-
022.

Oil Transportation

At discharge of the Export Pumps, condensate is mixed with NGL cut from the Dew
Point Control Units 11-340 and 12-340 and feed the liquid cross-country pipeline under
pressure control, controlling the receiving pressure on pipeline side by the PCV in
Coastal plant.
There are two PCVs. One is in Desert plant and the other is in Coastal plant. The PCV,
10-220-PV-034, in Desert plant is fully open in normal operation to avoid the hunting
with the other, 40-320-PV-303, in Coastal plant. 10-220-PV-034 will be activated only
when the downstream pressure of the PCV is high in order to protect the pipeline
against the overpressure.

Flow indications of the three liquid production lines that feed the pipeline (one of
stabilized condensate and two of NGL) are made available and computed to a ratio
output signal, equipped with relevant alarms so as to keep operation within a fully safe
range of conditions with regard to the pipeline liquid boiling point specification.
A pure NGL cut, i.e., free of any stabilised condensate, shall not be transported to the
Coastal Plant from safety reasons.

HIPS

HIPS is provided to protect the condensate transportation facility from overpressure and
to prevent consequent rupture of onshore condensate export pipeline from Desert plant
to Coastal plant, which is approx. 520km in length.
Two out of three high pressure switches, 10-220-PT-001A/B/C, will initiate the
shutdown of two SDVs, 10-220-SDV-035/036, in series on the line as shown below.

The HIPS system on the condensate export line meets the probabilistic SIL 2 requirement based
on a full stroke test interval of two years.

The HIPS system meets the architectural SIL 2 requirements as the test interval does not affect
the Safe Failure Fraction or Hardware Fault Tolerance of initiators, logic solver or final element.

Based on the consideration of both probabilistic requirements and architectural constraints, the
HIPS system meets the SIL 2 requirement, which is the same as that of a pressure safety valve.

A bypass line of the storage tanks is installed for an emergency operation situation,
where one tank is in shutdown condition and the other tank is requested for off spec
product. This line connects the product line from Liquid Stabilization Unit with the
suction line of Liquid Booster Pump directly. In this situation, the min flow lines of Liquid
Booster Pumps and Liquid Export Pumps cannot be used.

3.3.3 Process Variables

Major process variables, which control and optimize the process, are described
below.

(1) Flow Rate

Flow controller, FIC-022, controls the recycle rate to 102-10-VA-001A/B. The recycle
rate should be adjusted by taking into considerations the liquid level in off-spec
condensate tank and the operating capability of Liquid Stabilization Unit.
Bigger recycle flow rate may have a big impact on the liquid stabilization unit. On the
other hand, smaller recycle flow rate may fully occupy the off-spec condensate storage
tank.

SHEET 58 OF 370
Project Specification

(2) Pump Rotating Speed

In normal operation, the rotating speed of 10-220-PA-002ABC is fixed to pump up the


same rate as the normal production rate from liquid stabilization unit, so that the liquid
level in the on-spec condensate tank, 10-220-TA-001 or 002, will not fluctuate.
If the operating fluctuations occur in the Liquid Stabilization Unit, oil pipeline or Coastal
plant, the liquid level will vary to absorb the fluctuations.

When the liquid level reaches LAH, a pump speed will be increased step by step to
lower the liquid level. Even if the liquid level starts to fall after some time maintaining
the increased speed, the speed is to be maintained until the liquid level approaches
normal liquid level. Then, the speed is to be decreased step by step to maintain the
liquid level at normal.

When the liquid level reaches LAL, a pump speed will be decreased step by step to
raise the liquid level. Even if the liquid level starts to rise after some time maintaining
the decreased speed, the speed is to be maintained until the liquid level approaches
normal liquid level. Then, the speed is to be increased step by step to maintain the
liquid level at normal.

A sudden change of rotating speed should be avoided not to give an impact on the
plant operations unnecessarily.

3.4 Unit 130/300 – Inlet Gas Reception Facilities

3.4.1 Process Theory

(1) 20-130-VQ-001/002 (Gas Slugcatchers)

Gas Slugcatchers are designed to separate gas from liquid and specifically to absorb
the possible slugs from trunklines and flowlines linking North and South Gas Satellites
to Wafa Desert Plant.

A) Vapor/Liquid Separation Requirement


Free liquid droplet above 300μm can be removed from the gas in the Gas
Slugcatchers by gravity.

B) Rough Hydrocarbon/Water Separation


Water droplet above 1,000μm can be removed from the hydrocarbon phase in
the Gas Slugcatchers boots by gravity.

C) Maximum Slug Volume


150m3 per each, i.e., 300m3 as total
Design basis of the maximum slug volume is the sum of the following three cases.
¨ Slugging due to the pigging operation of the trunkline from SG-1 to CP
¨ Hydrodynamic slugging from NG-2 to CP
¨ Liquid flow rate in normal operation from NG-1 & gas wells near CP to the CP

(2) 20-130-VZ-001/002 (Gas Slugcatcher OVHD Separators)

Liquid droplets larger or equal to 50μm can be removed from the raw gas by in-line
vane type separator.

(3) 10-300-VA-001/002 (Inlet Gas Slugcatcher KO Drums)

Liquid droplets larger or equal to 50μm can be removed from the raw gas by vane
pack type separator.

(*) The process description from the gas wells to the gas slugcatchers shall be
referred to the Operating Manual of module 52(Gathering Network).

The gas from the wells of the Wafa North and South gas fields and from the wells near
Central Plant, collected in the gas inlet manifold, is sent to the First Gas Slugcatcher
20-130-VQ-001 and Second Gas Slugcatcher 20-130-VQ-002.
The two items are normally operated, each sized for half of the overall production.
Dedicated isolation facilities allow to process half of the gas field production in one item,
whilst the other one is shutdown.
Temporary hydrate formation inhibitor injection connections are provided for possible
use during transient operations. Injection point is located at slugcatchers overhead.
The gas stream from the Slugcatchers is connected to Slugcatcher OVHD Separators
20-130-VZ-001/002 respectively and then routed under pressure control, 10-300-PIC-
003, to the Inlet Gas Slugcatcher KO Drums 10-300-VA-001/002.

Each of the two OVHD Separators and KO Drums is sized to process half of the gas
fields production.

The pressure controller actually controls the gas gathering production.


During the first period of production, e.g. before Inlet Gas Compression station unit 360
is installed, it also allows to control the flow equal split to the two downstream gas trains.
It is achieved via a bias-ratio controller, 10-300-FIC-021A/B, that resets the two flow
controllers installed upstream of the Inlet Gas Slugcatcher KO Drums.
When unit 360 is put in operation, the split flow control is performed at discharge of the
compression station.

the hydrocarbon stream outlet and by the water stream outlet in cascade with ultrasonic
flow controllers, 10-300-FIC-001/011 & FIC-012/012.
A gas balance line is provided between the upper part of each Slugcatcher boot and
the corresponding Slugcatcher overhead gas manifold to avoid entrapped gas build-up
and possible unsteady flow.

Dedicated guard strainers are installed upstream of the Slugcatcher oil liquid control
valves to limit to minimum valves damaging / clogging by solids.
Regarding the Slugcatcher aqueous ultrasonic flowmeters, dedicated guard strainers
are installed upstream.

The aqueous and oily liquid streams are collected in the same header and sent to the

10-300-VA-001/002

The gas from the Inlet Gas Slugcatcher KO Drums 10-300-VA-001/002 is sent either to
the two identical and parallel gas treatment trains for the first period of operation, or to
the Inlet Gas Compression station when North and South gas fields depletion becomes
significant.
Production forecast appraisal features an initial plateau period of about three years,
without pressure depletion.

The Inlet Gas Slugcatcher KO Drums are equipped with even-flow feed distributors and
vane-pack type mist eliminators.
Temporary hydrate formation inhibitor injection connections are provided on the KO
Drums overhead gas line for possible use during transient operating conditions.

3.5 Unit 330 – Gas Sweetening Unit

3.5.1 Process Theory

The Gas Sweetening unit is designed to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from Raw gas
feed for the Sales gas production by means of chemical / physical absorption.

Acid gas reacts with the Diethanolamine (DEA) according to the following reactions.
The main overall reaction equations, in which “R” denotes the ethanol group (HO-
-
CH2-CH2 ), can be represented as follows:
- +
CO2 + 2R2NH R2NCOO + R2NH2
- +
CO2 + H2O + R2NH HCO3 + R2NH2

The equilibrium of the above reactions lies at the right-hand side of the equations at
lower temperature and higher pressure (removal of the impurities from the gas). At
higher temperature and lower pressure (as applied in the regeneration) the reaction
is reversed, resulting the removal of the acid gas from the DEA solution.

3.5.2.1 General

The Gas sweetening units mainly consist of two parallel and identical units 11-330
and 12-330. These two units are identically installed into two corresponding parallel
and identical gas trains, which also includes the Dehydration units 11-310 and 12-
310, the Dew point control units 11-340 and 12-340, as well as the Gas train
hydrocarbon drain facilities units 11-550 and 12-550.
These two gas trains are operated independently one from the other. No main
processing interconnections are provided.

In addition to the above, the Gas sweetening units also include common facilities,
itemized in 10-330, located in the condensate stabilization block (Zone A1).

The description below makes reference to unit 11-330 and also applies to unit 12-
330.

Raw gas is fed to the Gas sweetening unit from the Inlet gas reception facilities unit
300, together with Raw gas from the Off-gas compression facilities unit 361, for the
first period of the plant operation, when the Inlet gas compression unit 360 is not yet

put on stream.
After the first pressure plateau period of the gas field, the Inlet gas compression unit
is required to be put in operation and the gas is fed to the Gas sweetening unit from
the Inlet gas compressor 2nd stage discharge drum 10-360-VA-003A/B/C/D.

3.5.2.2 Raw gas separation and pre-cooling

Raw gas is fed to the Amine unit feed gas filter 11-330-CL-001A/B where solids, up
to 5 micron, are filtrated. As an additional design requirement, filters feature small
slugs handling capabilities because of the retrograde condensation. One filter is
normally in operation, the other one is in stand-by mode.
Liquid from the filters is withdrawn from the two compartment boots under level
control, and sent to the Inlet separator 10-210-VA-001A/B.

Liquid level of the filter is on off controlled by 11-330-LIC-021/022 for “A” filter and
11-330-LIC-023/024 for “B” filter.

The filters outlet gas is mixed with regeneration gas recycle from the Dehydration
unit 310, and cooled down in the Feed gas trim cooler 11-330-HA-001, using cooling
water, prior to be sent to the Absorber inlet separator 11-330-VA-002.
The trim cooler outlet temperature is controlled at 40 degC by the cooling water flow
rate to the exchanger, 11-330-TIC-031.
The hand control by-pass valve 11-330-HV-031 is provided for additional
temperature and gas dew point tuning.

The absorber inlet separator 11-330-VA-002 is vertically installed equipped with one
even-flow type distributor and one internal heavy-duty mist eliminator, so as to
minimize the risk of liquid hydrocarbon carry-over to the Amine absorber 11-330-VE-
001.
Liquid condensate from the Absorber inlet separator is sent under the level control
11-330-LIC-031 to the Inlet separator 10-210-VA-001A/B.

3.5.2.3 CO2 absorption

The separator overhead gas is split into two streams. One stream bypasses the
amine section, the remaining part feeding the HP absorber 11-330-VE-001.
Inside one gas train, the split of flows is controlled by the flow ratio controller 11-330-
FFC-052, reset over a dead band by a pressure controller, installed on the discharge
manifold of the Inlet gas compressors.
A bias relay allows modulating the pressure signal sent to the two flow control loops
installed in each gas train.
During the first three years of operation, when the Inlet gas compression unit 10-360
is not yet put on stream, the split flow control is achieved in unit 10-300.

Approx. 50% of raw gas is fed to the HP absorber where it is contacted in


countercurrent with 30wt% DEA lean amine solution. The design of the HP absorber
includes the installation of one water wash top section.

The HP absorber overhead gas is cooled down to 40 degC in the Treated gas trim
cooler 11-330-HA-004, using cooling water, and sent to the Treated gas K.O. drum
11-330-VA-004. The cooler outlet temperature is controlled by 11-330-TIC-051 to
keep the gas temperature more than the hydrocarbon dew point, so as to avoid the
contamination of the amine system by liquid hydrocarbon.
A three-phase separation is achieved in the Treated gas KO drum 11-330-VA-004.
The decanted water is sent under level control 11-330-LDIC-053 to the Rich amine
flash drum 11-330-VA-003. The liquid hydrocarbon is sent to the Inlet separator 10-
210-VA-001A/B if any.
The hydrocarbon skimming is also available from the K.O drum to remove the
mixture of hydrocarbon / amine / emulsion from the system. The mixture is sent
either to the Skimming pot 11-330-VA-007, or directly routed to the Amine recovery
drum 10-330-VA-001 located in the common facilities.

Treated gas free of CO2 is mixed to the CO2 rich bypass gas stream and sent to the
Gas dehydration unit 310.
The expander 11-340-ML-001 in the Dew point control (DPCU) unit 340 is controlling
the gas train pressure at this step.
At the outlet of the Gas sweetening unit, a pressure blow-off valve 11-330-PV-052 to
flare is provided for the start-up and upset.

Treated gas is washed with circulating water in the top trays of the HP absorber 11-
330-VE-001 to reduce the amine carry-over. It also works as an efficient foam
breaker in case of foamy operation. The water drawn off from the HP absorber top
chimney tray is pumped by the Treated gas water wash pumps 11-330-PA-003A/B

The make-up water for the circulation is supplied constantly from the Amine HP
make up pump 10-530-PD-008A/B which are controlled volume pumps.
The circuit water blow down is performed under the level control 11-330-LIC-041 of
the draw-off chimney tray. Blow down water is sent to the Rich amine flash drum 11-
330-VA-003.

The HP absorber is equipped with an even-flow type distributor on the raw gas
bottom feed. The absorption bottom tray is chimney tray, installed with the pipe down
comers to avoid excessive amine splashing.
The skimming of the mixture of hydrocarbon / amine / emulsions is available from the
HP absorber bottom part. The mixture is sent either to the Skimming pot, or directly
routed to the Amine recovery drum of the common facilities.
On the top of the absorption section, a dry tray is provided below an overhead mesh
prior to enter the overhead water wash section.

3.5.2.4 Lean amine pumping facilities

Lean amine solution is processed through the Lean amine storage tank 11-330-TA-
001 and pumped by the Lean amine booster pumps 11-330-PA-002A/B and the
downstream Lean amine circulating pumps 11-330-PA-001A/B, to the top tray of the
absorption section of the HP absorber. Lean amine feed is under flow control by 11-
330-FIC-106A.
The antifoam injection is provided at the pump discharge line to inject into lean
amine solution.

The Lean amine circulating pumps are equipped with minimum flow control facilities,
which consist from a flow control valve 11-330-FV-101A recycled back to the Lean
amine storage tank. The pump discharge flow rate is controlled by 11-330-FIC-101A
3
to keep more than 70m /h for the pump protection.

About 10% of the Lean amine solution (19.7m3/h at normal) is sent and treated in the
Amine filtration package 11-330-XX-001 and recycled back to the Amine storage
tank 11-330-TA-001 via the Lean amine booster pump 11-330-PA-002A/B.

One single lean amine storage tank is shared to operate the two sweetening units
(11-330 and 12-330) when another tank is in shutdown. The relevant piping
connections are provided for the sharing operation.
Start –up line to the Rich amine flash drum 11-330-VA-003 is provided at the
discharge line of the Lean amine booster pumps to commission the amine
regeneration system before the HP section has been put on stream.

3.5.2.5 Rich amine regeneration

The Rich amine from the bottom of the HP absorber is sent to the Rich amine flash
drum 11-330-VA-003 and flashed in the drum. The flashed gas is washed through a
small packed scrubbing tower that flanged on top of the Rich amine flash drum by a
slipstream of the Lean amine prior to be routed to the LP fuel gas network under

by the Regenerator bottom pumps 11-330-PA-006A/B and transferred to the Lean
amine storage tank 11-330-TA-001 through the Lean amine cooler 11-330-HC-004
and the downstream Lean amine trim cooler 11-330-HA-003.
The temperature of lean amine is controlled at 50 degC by the by-pass valve 11-
330-TV-075.

3.5.2.6 LP lean amine section

The Lean amine storage tank 11-330-TA-001 is doom roof type and is blanketed
with nitrogen using self-regulating pressure control valve 11-330-PCV-480.
During normal operation, the main lean amine circulation flow is processed through
the tank together with a side circulation stream from the Lean amine filtration
package 11-330-XX-001.
Additional facilities include amine and water make-up connections.
Also, recovered amine from the Amine recovery drum 10-330-VA-001 is recycled
back to the amine system through the Lean amine filtration package.
Furthermore it is equipped with dedicated hydrocarbon skimming connections that
are to be operated manually according to operating requirement.
The tank is sized to handle the whole unit liquid hold-up.

One single lean amine storage tank is shared to operate the two sweetening units
(11-330 and 12-330) when another tank is in shutdown.
The Lean amine booster pumps 11-330-PA-002A/B are operated in parallel under
such operating conditions. The one is to serve the unit it is normally dedicated,
according to normal operation. The other one is actually used to transfer the Lean
amine solution from the tank in operation to the other amine unit, in which the
storage tank is shutdown.

About 10% of the main amine circulation flow rate (19.7m3/h at normal) is slipped
and sent to the Lean amine filtration package 11-330-XX-001 continuously through
the Lean amine booster pumps and recycled back to the Amine storage tank.

The package includes the Lean amine main filters 11-330-CL-002A/B (one spare)
which treat the overall filtration circulation stream, and the Lean amine charcoal filter
11-330-CN-001A/B (one spare), which is sized for half of the filtration circulation
stream.
Finally, the filtration stream is recycled back through the Lean amine guard filter 11-
330-CL-003A/B (one spare).
The two-filtration circuits are under flow control. The system pressure is controlled at
the outlet of the Lean amine filtration package.

The solids, up to 1 micron (Hold), are removed at the Lean amine main filters 11-
330-CL-002A/B. The main filters are self-cleaning type to treat the lean amine
continuously.
A split flow stream of about the half of the filtration circulation stream is treated
through the downstream activated carbon bed of the Lean amine charcoal filter 11-

drum, the Anti-form injection pumps 11-330-PD-001 and the Anti-foam shock
injection pump 11-330-PD-002.
The Anti-foam injection pump, dosing type, is normally used for the continuous
injection into the HP absorber 11-330-VE-001 at discharge of the amine circulating
pumps 11-330-PA-001A/B. In case of foamy operation, the Anti-foam is injected into
the HP absorber water wash section.
The Anti-foam shock injection pump, dosing type, is installed for the shock injection
in case of severe foamy operations. The several injection points are provided: the
main amine pump suction for injection into the Amine regenerator 11-330-VJ-001,

The Skimming pot 11-330-VA-007 receives the mixture of hydrocarbons / amine /


emulsions skimmed form the different parts of the unit 330, e.g. the HP absorber, the
Treated gas K.O. drum 11-330-VA-004, the Rich amine flash drum 11-330-VA-003
and from the Dryers inlet separators 11-310-VA-001 installed in the Dehydration unit
310.
The purpose of the drum is to give opportunity to the operator to remove from the
system any undesirable skimmed mixture as well as to allow for mixture sampling
and analysis.
The Skimming pot effluent is sent to the Amine recovery drum 10-330-VA-001
through the Amine drain system. The Skimming pot is pressurized with nitrogen to
the LP flare network. The Pot pressure is controlled by two pressure controllers 11-
330-PIC-063A and 063B, which are for nitrogen to the pot and for nitrogen to the
Acid LP flare system respectively.
A Skimming pot by-pass to the Amine recovery drum is provided.

3.5.2.7 Common facilities

The unit 10-330 includes the ancillary facilities common to the units 11-330 and 12-
330.
The hydrocarbon / amine / emulsion mixture is separated in the Amine recovery
drum 10-330-VA-001 where the hydrocarbon / amine / emulsion mixture from the
Skimming pot of the two trains 11-330-VA-007 and 12-330-VA-007. The water /

nitrogen. The Amine preparation drum electrical heater 10-330-HN-001 is provided


for the prevention of the coagulation of the Fresh amine solution. The solution
temperature is kept at 45 degC.
The amine solution is homogenized by the re-circulation with the Amine recovery
storage pump 10-330-PA-003, through the restriction orifice provided at pump
minimum flow line. The Amine solution is transferred by the same pump to the Lean
amine storage tanks both trains 11-330 and 12-330 after the homogenization.

Finally, the Amine drain drum 10-330-VA-003 collects drain effluents from the
common facilities of the unit 10-330. The effluent is recycled back to the Amine
recovery drum 10-330-VA-001 under the nitrogen pressure.

3.5.3 Process Variables

The main responsibility of the Gas sweetening unit is to maintain production of on-
spec sales gas.
All the major variables, which control and optimize the process, are described below.

3.5.3.1 CO2 absorption

The normal operating condition around the HP absorber 11-330-VE-001 is follows:

Feed gas condition

Temperature: 40 degC
Pressure: 68.6 barG
Flow rate: 167,918 kg/h (Design Case: Year1 Summer)

Operating Condition of the HP absorber

Temperature: Top = 53 degC / Bottom = 73 degC


Pressure: Top = 68.3 barG / Bottom = 73 barG
3
Amine Circulating Rate: 192 m /h
3
Washing Water Rate: 29.6 m /h

The operator may be required the following consideration to keep the stable
operation of the Gas sweetening unit when the operating parameters are changed.

(1) Feed gas conditions

The composition of the feed gas will vary with the time. The operating temperature of
the absorber has tendency to increase in case of higher CO2 content due to its
exothermic reaction. The operating condition shall be adjusted to maintain the sales
gas specification of CO2 content.
The following actions shall be required for the increase in CO2 component.

- More feed rate to the HP absorber 11-330-VE-001

Desert Plant
SHEET 78 OF 370
Project Specification

- More DEA circulation flow rate

(2) Temperature

The higher feed gas temperature is expected by the opening of a hand control by-
pass 11-330-HV-031 for the additional temperature and gas dew point tuning. The
higher feed gas temperature, which has a negative effect on acid gas equilibrium,
requires more lean amine circulation for sufficient driving force of absorption in the
HP absorber to maintain the specification in treated gas.

(3) Pressure

The deviations of feed gas pressure are generally small. It is reflected in the acid gas
partial pressures. Higher lean amine circulation is required for the lower feed gas
pressure.

3.5.3.2 Lean amine (30wt% DEA) solution

(1) Composition

An increasing in water content means a decrease in absorbing capacity due to the


decrease in active amine concentration, which results in a higher CO2 content in
treated gas. This can be compensated by an increase in circulation rate together
with increase of heat input to the Regenerator reboiler 11-330-HA-002A/B.
A decrease in the water contents will have the reverse effects. Increase of viscosity
in lean amine solution due to decrease of water, which affect the tray hydraulics and
decrease of the mass transfer rate in the absorber, can decrease the solution
absorption capacity.
For smooth operation of the plant, the water content should be maintained around
the design figure of 30wt%.

(2) Temperature

Since equilibrium partial pressure of acid gas over lean amine solution at lower
temperature, a lower CO2 contents in treated gas is possible at lower lean amine
solution temperature.
However, too low solution temperature may cause foaming of solution because of
condensation of hydrocarbon from the feed gas.
A too low solution temperature also introduces increase of the viscosity of lean
amine solution, leading to constrains of tray efficiency.
Lean amine solution temperature is controlled at design figure of 50 degC.

(3) Flow rate

Less lean amine circulation rate lowers absorption capacity due to constraint of tray
efficiencies. While the acid gas is absorbed by lean amine solution, absorption heat
is generated, and less amount of lean amine solution causes increase of lean amine
temperature, hence less lean amine circulation also causes insufficient driving force
for absorption because of the higher equilibrium partial pressure in gas phase over

3
The circulation rate shall be controlled at 230m /h by 11-330-FIC-106A provided at
discharge of the lean amine circulation pump 11-330-PA-001A/B.

3.5.3.3 Regeneration

The normal operating condition around the Amine regenerator 11-330-VJ-001 is


follows:

Rich Amine Feed Temperature: 103 degC


Rich Amine Pressure: 1.3 barG
Rich Amine Feed Flow rate: 212636 kg/h
Regenerator Temperature: Top = 112 degC / Bottom = 129 degC
Regenerator Pressure: Top = 1.2 barG / Bottom = 1.4 barG
Reflux Water flow rate: 12 m3/h
Reflux Drum Temperature: 55 degC
Reflux Drum Pressure: 1.0 barG

(1) Pressure

The bottom pressure of the Amine regenerator is controlled by the pressure


controller 11-330-PIC-091 with adjusting the vent rate of off-gas to the Acid LP flare
system by 11-330-PV-091, which is located at off-gas outlet line from the
Regenerator reflux drum 11-330-VA-005. The lower pressure is favorable for the
regeneration of lean amine solution. However it is limited by the tray performance
and the pressure required to the drive gas through the process.
The Amine regenerator bottom pressure should be controlled at 1.4 barG of design
figure.

(2) Temperature

The top temperature in the Regenerator is controlled the temperature controller 11-
330-TIC-085 acting in cascade on the hot oil supply flow controller 11-330-FIC-
081A/B. A too low top temperature results from a decrease in overhead steam flow,
which can finally result in very insufficient regeneration of lean amine solution. The
top temperature of the Amine regenerator should be controlled at 112 degC of
design figure.

(3) Reflux ratio

Water from the Reflux drum 11-330-VA-005 is sent to the Amine regenerator. The
reflux flow rate is set by flow controller 11-330-FIC-091 provided at the Regenerator
pump 11-330-PA-004A/B discharge. For stable CO2 removal, the reflux rate to be
kept at 12m3/hr of design flow rate. The operating temperature of the amine
regenerator has tendency to decrease in case of higher CO2 content in the amine
solution due to its endothermic reaction. Operator requires some adjustment of reflux
flow rate when the Regenerator temperature is changed and not recovered by the
heat input to the Regenerator reboiler etc. Operator shall open the remote hand
control valve 11-330-HV-091 in case the increase of liquid level in the Regenerator

3.6 Unit 310 – Gas Dehydration Unit

3.6.1 Process Theory

The purpose of the Gas Dehydration Unit (Unit 310) is to remove water from the feed
gas sent from Gas Sweetening Unit (Unit 330).

Feed gas drying is required:


- to meet the dryness specification for sales gas, i.e., water dew point.
- to prevent ice and hydrate formation in the Dew Point Control Unit (Unit 340), which
will cause blockages in piping and equipments.

Dehydration Unit uses molecular sieves to remove the water from the feed gas.
Molecular sieves are a crystalline form of sodium alumina silicate (zeolite). They can be
manufactured with very specifically sized pore openings into their lattice structure. This
sizing can make the sieve very selective to which particular molecule it adsorbs.

Type 4A molecular sieves, which have a pore diameter of approximately 4 Angstroms


(100,000,000 A = 1 cm), are used in the Gas Dehydration Unit. They will basically
adsorb molecules with a nominal diameter less than 4A. The internal surfaces of
molecular sieves are electrically charged and are attracted to dissimilar changes on
polar molecules. Water molecules have a strong polarity and can be adsorbed onto 4A
molecular sieves. It is possible to reduce the water content in the outlet gas to less
than 0.1 ppmv.

3.6.2.1. General

The Gas Dehydration Units consist of two parallel and identical units 11-310 and 12-
310. These two units are identically installed into two corresponding parallel and
identical gas trains, which also includes the Gas Sweetening Units 11-330 and 12-330,
the Dew Point Control Units 11-340 and 12-340, as well as the Gas Train Hydrocarbon
Drain Facilities Units 11-550 and 12-550. These two gas trains are operated
independently one from the other. No main processing connections are provided.

The description below makes reference to Unit 11-310 but is also applicable to unit 12-
310.

3.6.2.2 Raw gas pre-cooling and inlet separation

The feed to the Gas Dehydration Unit is the treated gas in the Gas Sweetening Unit,
which is saturated with water. The gas from the Gas Sweetening Unit is sent to the
Gas / Gas Exchanger 11-310-HA-001, where it is cooled down by heat exchange with
the sales gas from the Cold Box 11-340-HH-001 installed in the Dew Point Control Unit
340. The outlet temperature is controlled by 11-310-TIC-001 via two dedicated
temperature control valves on the sales gas side, 11-310-TV-001B installed on the
exchanger outlet and 11-310-TV-001A on the exchanger bypass.

Project Specification

Downstream of the exchanger, the mixed phase stream is sent to Dryers Inlet
Separator 11-310-VA-001, designed to achieve 3- phase separation. The drum is
vertically installed, equipped with one even-flow type inlet distributor and one internal
heavy-duty mesh. The decanted water is routed to the Waste Water Treatment Unit
560 under interface level control 11-310-LDIC-002. The separated hydrocarbon phase
is sent to Inlet Separator 10-210-VA-001A/B in the Liquid Stabilization Unit under level
control 11-310-LIC-001. Also, draw-off line with a manual valve is provided at the drum
bottom part to perform skimming of hydrocarbon/amine emulsions from the decanted
water. The emulsions will be sent either to the Skimming Pot 11-330-VA-007 or directly
routed to the Amine Recovery Drum 10-330-VA-001, both items being parts of the Gas
Sweetening Unit facilities.

The drum overhead gas stream is sent to the Inlet Dryers Coalescer 11-310-VZ-001,
where higher degree of liquid separation takes place in order to reduce any liquid
carryover to molecular sieves beds in Gas Dryers 11-310-VK-001A/B/C. The
Coalescer features a two-compartment type design. The bottom compartment acts
as a KO drum and is designed for this purpose. Gas from the bottom compartment
feeds the top compartment through the vertical coalescing elements. Liquid
collected from the coalescing elements is removed from the drum to a side liquid
pipe receiver and routed to the Inlet Separators 10-210-VA-001A/B under liquid level
control 11-310-LIC-013.

3.6.2.3 Dryer adsorption and dry gas filtration

The gas from the Inlet Dryer Coalescer is then routed to the molecular sieves beds of
the Gas Dryers 11-310-VK-001A/B/C, in which moisture content is reduced below 0.1
ppmv. The gas flows downwards through two parallel Dryers while the third Dryer is
reactivated. Dry gas exits the bottom of the two Dryers and flows to the Dry Gas Filter
11-310-CL-001A/B to filter any molecular sieve powders in the dry gas. Dry gas from
11-310-CL-001A/B is sent to the downstream Dew Point Control Unit 340.

A silica or alumina gel layer is installed on top of the beds, so as to increase integrity of
the molecular sieves beds.

Temperature recorders installed at various locations inside the beds allow backing up
the sequence monitoring. In the same way, a sample probe for moisture analysing is
provided in the bottom part of each bed so as to anticipate any moisture breakthrough.

At the outlet of the Dehydration Unit a pressure blow-off valve to flare, 11-310-PV-052,
is installed for start-up purpose and upset conditions.

3.6.2.4 Dryer regeneration

The regeneration gas is withdrawn from the Dry Gas Filter outlet. The flow rate of the
regeneration gas is controlled by 11-310-FIC-041 via a flow control valve 11-310-FV-
041 on the regeneration gas line. The dry gas is sent to the Regeneration Gas
Separator 11-310-VA-003, where hydrocarbon condensation appeared by the pressure

loss through 11-310-FV-041 is collected and routed to the Inlet Separators 10-210-VA-
001A/B under liquid level control 11-310-LIC-061.

The overhead gas from 11-310-VA-003 is sent to the Regeneration Gas Heater 11-310-
FA-0011, which is of fuel gas fired type. The outlet temperature of the Regeneration
Gas Heater is controlled by 11-310-TIC-041 on the outlet line and 11-310-PIC-044 via
11-310-PV-044 on the fuel gas line. The heated gas is sent to the Dryer in
regeneration sequence to remove water from molecular sieves.

The regeneration gas from the Dryer is cooled down in the Regeneration Gas Cooler
11-310-HC-001 and sent to the Regeneration Compressor KO Drum 11-310-VA-002.
Water is knocked down and routed to the process oily water system via 11-310-LV-051,
while the overhead gas is compressed through the volumetric type Regeneration Gas
Compressor 11-310-KB-001 A/B. During normal operation, one compressor is in
operation, the other being in stand-by mode. At compressor discharge, the gas is
cooled down through the Regeneration Gas Compressor Cooler 11-310-HC-002 and
recycled back to the inlet of the Feed Gas Trim Cooler 11-330-HA-001, located in the
Gas Sweetening Unit 11-330.

The regeneration circuit pressure control is achieved via the volumetric compressor
spill back line with 11-310-PV-051B. Also, on the Compressor KO Drum overhead
gas line, a pressure blow-off valve to flare 11-310-PV-051A is installed for start-up
purpose and upset conditions.

3.6.3 Process Variables

The function of the Gas Dehydration Unit is to maintain the moisture content of the
treated gas to the following Dew Point Control Unit below 0.1 ppmv. This is normally
accomplished by the automatic controls, but operators need to monitor the process
variables and to intervene when changes occur which would cause the treated gas
quality to vary outside the allowable range.

The major variables, which control and optimize the process, are described below.

3.6.3.1 Feed Gas Flow Rate

The water to be adsorbed during an adsorption cycle of the Dryers is directly


proportional to the flow rate of the feed gas. At low feed flow rates the accumulation
of water on the molecular sieve beds will occur more slowly and could theoretically
allow for longer adsorption cycle times. However, in practice the adsorption time will
normally be kept constant.

3.6.3.2 Feed Gas Temperature

The temperature of the feed gas existing 11-310-HA-001 (hot side) directly
influences the water load on the Dryers. An increase in the temperature of the gas
leaving 11-310-HA-001 increases the water contents in the vapor phase (kg-

H2O/m3), and therefore, this influences adsorption cycle time.

The outlet temperature of 11-310HA-001 (hot side) is controlled by 11-310-TIC-001.


The temperatures to be maintained in each operating case are as follows:

Normal Operation with Expander in Unit-340 : 34.0 deg.C


Operation with J-T valve in Unit-340 : 37.5 deg.C
Operation with No NGL from Unit-340 : 35.0 deg.C

3.6.3.3 Feed Gas Pressure

If the feed pressure is increase, the water contents remaining in the feed gas leaving
11-310-HA-001 are reduced. In normal operation, however, the pressure is stable
and the pressure fluctuation effects can be ignored.

3.7 Unit 350 – Dry Gas Demercurization Unit

3.7.1 Process theory

The purpose of the Dry Gas Demercurization Unit (Unit 350) is to remove trace
quantities of mercury present in the feed to the Dew Point Control Unit (Unit 340), and
this protects the Cold Box and Expander impeller made of aluminium against corrosion.

Eliminating mercury from hydrocarbon gas or liquid requires the use of a mercury
trapping material which is metal sulphide supported on activated alumina. The
contained sulphur, vital for fixation of the mercury, is chemically bound to the carrier
until it is needed for reaction with the mercury. Mercury is trapped in the form of
cinnabar which is fixed onto the mercury trapping material following the equation
below:

MSX + Hg ---> [MS(X-1) + HgS]

It is possible to reduce the mercury content in the outlet gas to less than 10 nano-
grams/Nm3.

3.7.2.1. General

The Dry Gas Demercurization Unit consists of two parallel and identical units 11-350
and 12-350. These two units are identically installed into two corresponding parallel
and identical gas trains, which also includes the Gas Sweetening Units 11-330 and 12-
330, the Gas Dehydration Units 11-310 and 12-310, the Dew Point Control Units 11-
340 and 12-340, as well as the Gas Train Hydrocarbon Drain Facilities Units 11-550
and 12-550. These two gas trains are operated independently one from the other. No
main processing connections are provided.

The description below makes reference to Unit 11-350 but is also applicable to unit 12-
350.

The feed to the Dry Gas Demercurization Unit is the treated gas in the Gas
Dehydration Unit, which is dry hydrocarbon gas in 34 deg C at 65.8 barA and the flow
rate of 286000 kg/hr. The gas from the Gas Dehydration Unit is sent to the
Demercurization Reactor 11-350-VK-001, and passes down through the fixed
adsorbent bed in the Demercurization Reactor. The contained mercury in the feed gas
is removed from the gas by reaction with the sulphur impregnated in the bed.

During initial start-up period of the Demercurization Reactor, the treated gas from
the bottom of the Demercurization Reactor in 34 deg C at 65.5 barA is fed to the
Demercurization Filter 11-350-CL-001 to pick up dusts formed in the loading of the
adsorbent bed considering slight attrition of the material, and then fed to the
downstream Dew Point Control Unit 11-340 at 65.1 barA. The filter is bypassed in
normal operation and the gas from the bottom of the Demercurization Reactor is
sent to the Unit 11-340 without filtration.

3.7.3 Process Variables

There are no temperature, pressure or flow controls in this system. All conditions are
resultant.

3.8 Unit 340 – Dew Point Control Unit

3.8.1 Process Theory

The purpose of the Dew Point Control Unit is to extract propane and heavier
components as NGL from the Dry Natural Gas feed; meanwhile, to control H.C. dew
point of the residual gas as the Sales Gas so as to satisfy the product specification.
â
The Cryomax patented process, which is cryogenic expansion process with turbo-
expander, is used for this purpose in the Unit. A feed gas stream <01> under high
pressure is cooled by heat exchanger with other streams of the process. As the feed
gas is cooled, liquids is partially condensed and collected in a separator as high-
pressure liquids <02> containing some of the desired propane and heavier
components. The vapor <03> remaining from the partial condensation is passed
through a work expansion machine (Expander) to a lower pressure at which additional
liquids are condensed as a result of further cooling of the stream by gas expansion
effect.
The expanded stream <04> then enters the lower section of a contact purifying-
refrigerating column (Purifier) and it is contacted with the cold liquid stream <05>
containing lighter components (methane and ethane). This cold liquid stream <05>
condenses propane and heavier components from the expanded vapor stream <04> in
the Purifier. The overhead gas from the Purifier <06> is sent to heat exchanger as
cooling medium, and then compressed by a compressor driven by the turbo-expander
as the Sales Gas <07>.
The high-pressure liquids <02> from the separator is expanded through an expansion
valve to a lower pressure, and the vaporization occurring during expansion of the
liquids results in further cooling of the stream. This expanded mixture stream <08>
feeds the Purifier bottom section for further distillation.
The bottom liquids <09> from the Purifier feed into the distillation column (Deethanizer)
after being utilized as cooling medium for heat recovery <10>. In the Deethanizer, the
feed stream is distilled to separate residual methane, ethane, nitrogen, and other
volatile gases as overhead vapor <11> from the desired propane and heavier
components as bottom NGL product <12>. (Refer to Fig. 3.8.1)

3.8.2.1. General

The Dew Point Control Units consist of two parallel and identical units 11-340 and 12-
340. These two units are identically installed into two corresponding parallel and
identical gas trains (Area-C1/D1), which also includes the Gas Dehydration Units 11-
310 and 12-310, the Gas Sweetening Units 11-330 and 12-330, as well as the Gas
Train Hydrocarbon Drain Facilities Units 11-550 and 12-550. These two gas trains are
operated independently one from the other. No main processing connections are
provided.

The description below makes reference to Unit 11-340 but is also applicable to unit 12-
â
340. Both 11-340 and 12-340 Units implement the Cryomax patented process.

3.8.2.2 Feed Gas Pre-cooling and Expansion

Dry gas from the Dehydration Unit 11-310 feeds the feed gas path of the Cold Box 11-
340-HH-001, which is a brazed aluminium plate-fin type exchanger. Through the Cold
Box, the dry gas is cooled down, against the sales gas product stream acting as the
main cold medium of the exchanger, so as to feed the Expander 11-340-ML-001 at an
optimum temperature level. The feed gas temperature and pressure to the Expander is
of big impact on the unit performances. The bypass line with a temperature control
valve 11-340-TV-022 is provided on the feed gas path of the Cold Box, and the feed
temperature to the Expander is adjusted by a temperature controller 11-340-TIC-022.

The gas/liquid mixture from the Cold Box feeds the Expander Inlet KO Drum 11-340-
VA-001, where H.C. liquid phase is dropped down. The drum is designed vertically for
liquid / gas separation, and equipped with an internal even-flow type inlet distributor
and one heavy-duty wire mesh.

Liquid from the drum bottom is sent to the bottom section of Purifier under 11-340-LIC-
011 and 11-340-FIC012 cascade control.

The drum overhead gas feeds the Expander. The machine controls the upstream gas
train pressure by acting on its inlet guide vanes. The pressure controller 11-340-PIC-
023A at the inlet of Expander controls the angle of the inlet guide vanes and actually
the shaft speed of the Expander is adjusted. J-T valves 11-340-PV-023A/B are
provided on a bypass line of the Expander so that all the Expander feed can be
bypassed in the case of Expander’s out of service. Also, in normal operation of
Expander, the J-T valve might partially open by split range control via 11-340-PIC-023B
so as to prevent over-speed of the Expander’s shaft.

At the inlet of the unit, one start-up line fed by sales gas withdrawn from the sales gas
pipeline allows to enhance start-up procedures, providing dry gas for proper unit chilling
and commissioning.

3.8.2.3 Purifier Section

At the exhaust of the Expander, the partially condensed vapour stream feeds the
Purifier bottom section, as the main feed stream, through an even-flow type inlet
distributor.
Liquid stream from the Expander Inlet KO drum will be a flashed mix-phase stream via
11-340-FV-012 and feeds the Purifier bottom liquid hold-up zone.
On the top section, the Purifier is fed by an ethane rich stream recycled from the
downstream Deethanizer Reflux Drum 11-340-VA-002 via the Cold Box, which acts as
a reflux for the Purifier tower. The condensing requirements of the ethane rich recycle
stream are achieved in the Cold Box 11-340-HH-001.

The Purifier is trayed with two-path valve trays. It also includes a top dry tray installed
below one heavy-duty wire mesh. The vaporisation of Ethane and lighter components
occurs along with the condensation of Propane and heavier through the trays, and thus
increases the Propane recovery in NGL.
An internal methanol sparger is provided below the mesh to fight against potential
hydrate formation and plugging in the mesh.

From the bottom of the Purifier, the NGL cut is pumped by the Deethanizer Feed
Pumps 11-340-PA-001 A/B under 11-340-LIC-012 / 11-340-FIC-013 cascade control.
Actually, the flow control reset is specified to be active over a dead band, allowing the
downstream Deethanizer section to be operated in more stable conditions.

3.8.2.4 Sales Gas Production

The Purifier overhead gas is of sales gas quality and it is routed back to the Cold Box
acting as the main cold medium of the exchanger. Upstream of the Cold Box, it is
mixed with a small split stream from the Deethanizer overhead, which is dedicated to
the Deethanizer system pressure control by 11-340-PIC-012 via 11-340-PV-012.

The sales gas leaves the Cold Box at a temperature level low enough to achieve to

cool down the raw gas feed to the Unit 310 Dryers. This is implemented in the
Gas/Gas Exchanger 11-310-HH-001. Two temperature control valves installed on the
sales gas side of the Gas/Gas exchanger, e.g. 11-310-TV-001B in the main stream and
11-310-TV-001A in the exchanger bypass line, so as to provide efficient control of the
Dryers beds contact temperature.

Sales gas is routed to the Expander Recompressor 11-340-KA-001 driven by the


Expander, and then cooled down by the DPCU Final Cooler 11-340-HC-001 prior to be
sent to the Export compression station. The outlet temperature of the DPCU Final
Cooler can be manually adjusted by fan pitch controller 11-340-HIC-081. During
normal operation, the Expander Recompressor discharge pressure is maintained by the
Export Compression Station suction pressure controller 10-362-PIC-095. At the outlet
of the DPCU Unit 11-340, a butterfly pressure control valve 11-340-PV-022 has been
installed on the sales gas export line to enhance the overall system control stability,
gaining from a quicker action than the one that may be expected from Export
Compressor suction control system in case of significant pressure reduction in the
Export Compressor suction. The pressure control valve remains fully open usually.
Also, at the outlet of the Unit 340, a pressure blow-off valve to flare 11-340-PV-020 is
installed for start-up purpose and upset conditions.

Several Methanol injection points have been provided at various locations to fight
against potential hydrate formation. All the injection points are hard-piped with a
Methanol package, equipped with all relevant facilities: methanol storage drum,
injection pumps, etc.

3.8.2.5 Deethanizer Section

Prior to feed the Deethanizer, the Purifier bottom NGL cut is processed successively
through the Deethanizer condenser 11-340-HH-002 and through the Cold Box 11-340-
HH-001, acting as the cold medium in both exchangers. The Deethanizer condenser is
a brazed aluminium plate-fin type exchanger.

The Deethanizer is provided with overhead condensing and reflux facilities. The
overhead gas from the Deethanizer tower feeds the Condenser downwards to the
Deethanizer reflux Drum 11-340-VA-002, where liquid and gas are separated. The gas
leaves the drum through an internal wire mesh, before feeding the Purifier section as
the Purifier reflux stream. As previously mentioned, the Deethanizer system pressure is
controlled by an overhead pressure controller 11-340-PIC-012 with a slight split stream
bypassing the ethane rich condensing path of the Cold Box. Also, a pressure control
valve 11-340-PV-031 installed on the Deethanizer overhead line provides flexibility for
start-up and upset operations.

The Reflux Drum liquid is pumped by the Deethanizer Reflux Pumps 11-340-PA-
003A/B and sent back to the Deethanizer top under 11-340-LIC-032 / 11-340-FIC-052
cascade control. A hand control valve 11-340-HV-031 allows tuning the condensing
duty. The system is normally operated with the hand control valve closed.

The hold-up liquids in the Deethanizer bottom section are heated by the Deethanizer
Reboiler 11-340-HH-001. It is a kettle type exchanger, using hot oil as the hot source.

The temperature in the bottom section is controlled by 11-340-TIC-034 and the hot oil
flow controller 11-340-FIC-031 under cascade control.

The liquid at bottom of the Deethanizer is almost free of ethane and lighter
components, and is routed to the NGL export facilities prior to feed the liquid pipeline.
The NGL cut is subcooled in the NGL Cooler 11-340-HA-002. The cooler uses cooling
water as the cold sauce. It is to be installed at ground, in order to avoid boiling NGL
vaporisation. NGL is then routed under level control 11-340-LIC-031 to the NGL Surge
Drum 11-340-VA-004.

So as to keep constant the operating pressure of the NGL Surge Drum, a hot gas
bypass stream is withdrawn from the Deethanizer bottom section. The operating
pressure of the NGL Surge Drum is controlled by 11-340-PIC-043A via 11-340-PV-
043A on the hot gas bypass line. Also, a pressure control valve 11-340-PV-043B
installed on the NGL Surge Drum overhead line provides flexibility for start-up and
upset operations.

NGL from the Surge Drum is pumped by the NGL Expedition Pumps 11-340-PA-002
A/B to the inlet of the liquid pipeline, where it is mixed with the stabilized condensate
production from Unit 220 together with the NGL cut produced in the second Unit 12-
340, which is installed in the second gas train. The NGL is exported under 11-340-LIC-
042 / 11-340-FIC043 cascade control.

In case of the Expander shutdown, the Unit is operated with the Joule-Thompson valve
installed on the by-pass line of the Expander. On-specification Sales Gas is obtained by
mixing the gas from the two trains, i.e., one train in normal Expander operation and the
other in Joule-Thomson operation.

1) Temperature
The operating temperatures of the Unit increases comparing with the one in normal
operation because the lower thermal expansion effect through Joule-Thomson valve
than through the Expander.

2) Pressure
Since the Expander Recompressor is bypassed in the sales gas line and the suction
pressure of Export Gas Compressor in Unit 10-362 is maintained by 10-360-PIC-095,
the system operating pressure downstream of Joule-Thompson valve is higher than the
one in normal operation accordingly.

3) Liquid Flow Rate


Liquid flow rate from the Expander Inlet KO Drum, the Purifier bottom, the Deethanizer
bottom, and the Deethanizer Reflux Drum decreases due to higher temperature level in

the Unit.

3.8.3.2 No-NGL Operating Mode

In the NO-NGL operation mode, it is assumed that the liquid pipeline is not available for
some reasons (maintenance, etc.). The main issue of this operating case is to get rid
of the LPG cut that cannot be stored in the Stabilized Condensate Storage Tank of the
Unit 10-220. Therefore, the maximum amount of LPG is left in the Sales Gas with
respect to the Sales Gas specification, whilst the remaining amount of LPG has to be
flared. For this purpose, in this operating mode, both gas trains are operated with the
turbo-expander shut down, the expansion being carried by a Joule-Thompson valve.

LPG from the Deethanizer bottom is routed to the Rerun Drum of the Unit 10-210 under
11-340-LIC-031 / 11-340-FIC-053 cascade control. The flashed vapor in the Rerun
Drum at atmospheric pressure is flared and the remaining heavier LPG is recycled back
to the Inlet Separator 10-210-VA-001 of the Liquid Stabilization Unit and reprocessed in
the Condensate Stabilizer. At this time, the NGL Surge Drum and the NGL Export
Pump are in shutdown.

1) Feed Gas Flow Rate


In No-NGL operating mode, the gas flow rate fed to the Plant need to be limited to 90%
of the normal flow rate due to the design limitation of the equipments in the Dew Point
Control Unit. This is achieved by adjusting of well head operation.

2) Feed Gas Bypass of the HP Absorber in the Unit 11/12-330


In No-NGL operating mode, the bypass flow rate of the HP Absorber in the Unit 11/12-
330 increases to maximize CO2 contents in the Sales Gas (2.0 vol.%) so that the GHV
specification of the Sales Gas can be satisfied.

3) Pressure at Export Gas Compressor Suction


In No-NGL operating mode, the suction pressure of the Export Gas Compressor in the
Unit 10-362 decreases to 18.6 barA so that the sales gas specification can be satisfied
in the lower operating pressure of the Purifier and Deethanizer columns.

3.8.3.3 Expander and J-T valve Parallel Operation

The Unit has flexibility in operation with no NGL production and maximum NGL
production by running with a combination of Expander and J-T valve. This depends
upon the market demand of NGL production.
In Expander/JT-valve parallel operation, the control of reducing Inlet Guide Vane
(IGV) and opening JT-valve will be manually performed by either of the following
procedures (a) or (b):

(a) The 11-340-PIC-023A will be switched from auto to manual mode, and an
operator adjusts the signal output from PIC-023A to IGV so as to reduce its
opening range with monitoring the Expander shaft speed. The JT-valve will be
opened in certain range by 11-340-PIC-023B under split range control
accordingly.

3.9 Unit 361 – Off Gas Compression Unit

3.9.1 Process Theory

The unit consists into two identical, complete and separate compression trains.
During normal operation, one compression train is in operation and one is in stand-
by mode.

The Raw Gas from the Inlet Oil Slugcatcher KO Drum, the Inlet Separators and the
Stabilizer Reflux Drums are pressurized by Offgas Compressor and sent to the Gas
Sweetening Units 11/12-330.

During the turndown period, i.e., when the raw gas load being less and less over the
years, process re-circulating valves are partially opened by manual to avoid
machinery damage & inconvenience operation.

In automatic mode, the anti-surge controller ensure the Anti-Surge protection with
the following functions:
- PID controller who allows smooth control of the compressor on the Anti-Surge
line.
- Adaptative Gain, this permit a quick response of the controller in case of the
operative point cross the surge line.
- Switching derivate: In case that the operation point is quickly approaching the
surge line this function allows a proportional to the speed response of the
controller.

The detail of anti-surge control system is descried in Vendor Operating Manual

3.9.2.1 Inlet Filters & Common Suction Gas Line

The unit consists into two identical, complete and separate compression trains.
During normal operation, one compression train is in operation and one is in stand-
by mode.

The Raw Gas from the Inlet Oil Slugcatcher KO Drum 10-200-VA-001A/B, from the
Inlet Separators 10-210-VA-001A/B and from the Stabilizer Reflux Drums 10-210-
VA-002A/B are sent to Offgas Compressor Filter 10-361-CL-001A/B, one being in
operation and the other one in stand-by mode. The design purpose of filters is to
protect the compression facilities against solids. Also, filters have been requested to
handle with presence of small liquid slugs.

Liquid phase from the filters is sent to the closed drain system with on-off level
controller 10-361-LIC-001/002 for A filter, LIC-003/004 for B filter. Filter outlet gas
stream feeds the downstream compression train.

At common suction gas line, a pressure blow-off valve 10-361-PV-008 to HP flare is


installed for start-up purpose and upset conditions under pressure controller 10-361-
PIC-008.

The following description is based on train A (Unit 1A-361), but is also applicable to
train B (Unit 1B-361).

3.9.2.2 Off Gas Compression 1st Stage

The raw gas, possibly with the recycle gas from the 1st Stage "process recirculation
line", feeds the Offgas Compressor 1st Stage KO Drum 10-361-VA-001 A. As a
matter of fact, such "process recirculation lines" are installed around each
compressors casing, as permanent operation below the anti-surge capacity of the
compression trains is expected to occur. The design intention is not to use the
"normal" anti-surge lines of the compressors on a permanent basis.
Liquid phase from the 1st Stage KO Drum is sent to the closed drain system with on-
off level controller 1A-361-LIC-011. The overhead gas is sent to the suction of
Offgas Compressor 1st Stage 10-361-KA-001A.

The compression train suction pressure is controlled by 1A-361-PIC-011 acting on


the compressors drivers' speed controller 1A-361-SIC-701.

At discharge of the Offgas Compressor 1st Stage 10-361-KA-001A, the gas is


cooled down in the Offgas Compressor 1st Stage Discharge Cooler 10-361-HC-
001A with 50% fan pitch control via temperature controller 1A-361-TIC-011.

Cooled gas is sent to the Offgas Compressor 1st Stage Discharge KO Drum 10-361-
VA-002A, possibly with the recycle gas from the 2nd Stage “process recirculation
line”.

3.9.2.3 Off Gas Compression 2nd Stage

The Offgas Compressor 1st Stage Discharge KO Drum 10-361-VA-002A is designed


for 3-phase separation. During normal operation, hydrocarbon liquid phase is sent
to the Inlet Separator 10-210-VA-001A/B with on-off level controller 1A-361-LIC-021
for further liquid recovery. Aqueous phase is routed by interface on-off level
controller 1A-361-LDIC-026 to the process oily water treatment facilities 10-560-VA-
004. The overhead gas is sent to the suction of the Offgas Compressor 2nd Stage
10-361-KA-001A.

The discharge pressure of the Offgas Compressor 2nd Stage is controlled by 1A-
361-PIC-724 acting on the compressors drivers' speed controller 1A-361-SIC-701.

At discharge of the Offgas Compressor 2nd Stage 10-361-KA-001A, the gas is


cooled down in the Offgas Compressor 2nd Stage Discharge Cooler 10-361-HC-
002A with 50% fan pitch control via temperature controller 1A-361-TIC-021.

Cooled gas is sent to the Offgas Compressor 2nd Stage Discharge Drum 10-361-
VA-003A.

This KO drum is designed for 3-phase separation. Aqueous phase is routed by


interface on-off level controller 1A-361-LDIC-034 to the process oily water treatment
facilities 10-560-VA-004. Hydrocarbon liquid phase is recycled back to the Offgas
Compressor 1st Stage Discharge Drum 10-361-VA-002A, with on-off level controller
1A-361-LIC-031.

3.9.2.4 Common Discharge Gas Line of Off Gas Compression

The overhead gas from the Offgas Compressor 2nd Stage Discharge Drum 10-361-
VA-003A is routed to the two Gas Sweetening Units 11/12-330 with pressure
controller 10-361-PIC-007, which resets the two flow controllers 10-361-FIC-001 &
002 installed on the branches to the two downstream units, via a flow ratio controller
10-361-FY-003. Also, at common discharge gas line, a pressure blow-off valve 10-
361-PV-002 to flare is installed for start-up purpose and upset conditions under
pressure controller 10-361-PIC-002.

Stages have the same shaft and are driven by the same gas turbine 10-361-MT-
001A. Also, the overall compression train anti-surge control system has been shown
with two dedicated anti-surge lines around each casing.

3.9.3 Process Variables

(1) Off Gas Compressor 1st stage Suction and 2nd Stage Discharge Pressure
Control

This is an override switch control loop to control the 1st stage suction and 2nd stage
discharge pressure. The function of the low selector switch 1A-361-PY-011 is
important in this philosophy of pressure control. It takes three input value, one is the
output of 1st stage suction pressure controller 1A-361-PIC-011, other is the output of
2nd stage discharge pressure controller 1A-361-PIC-724 and third one is the value
selected by the operator through hand controller 1A-361-HIC-015. It selects the lowest
value out of the three input values and provides it to the gas turbine speed controller
1A-361-SIC-701 (compressor/turbine performance control), which takes this value as its
set point and maintains the turbine speed by controlling fuel gas flow.

1st stage suction controller 1A-361-PIC-011 will function in direct acting mode (the
output of the controller will increase if 1st stage suction pressure increases) and the
2nd stage discharge pressure controller 1A-361-PIC-724 will be in the reverse acting
mode (output of the controller will decrease if 2nd stage discharge pressure increases).

In normal operation, operator will set the value of hand controller at 100% and set point
of 2nd stage discharge controller at 74.8 barg, which will keep the output of the
discharge controller higher than the 1st stage suction pressure controller. So the lower
selector switch will select 1st stage suction controller to provide set point to gas speed
controller.

If, in some case, the 2nd stage discharge pressure increases, the output of the 2nd
stage discharge pressure controller will decrease enough to be less than the output of
1st stage suction pressure controller and will be selected as set point for the gas speed
controller, which will ultimately reduce the 2nd stage discharge pressure by slowing
down the speed of turbine.

Operator can control the speed of the turbine during start-up or during normal operation
by using hand controller.

The detail of control philosophy is in case of the discharge pressure increase as


following:

(*1) The Gas Turbine Speed controller (SIC-701) shall be configured to high limit
the discharge pressure of the compressor through performance controller. If
the discharge pressure of the compressor rises above the discharge pressure
limit setpoint (74.8 barG), the gas turbine speed will decreased to reduce the
discharge pressure. (Discharge pressure controller PIC-724 governs SV-701
and overrides the signal from suction pressure controller PIC-011.)

(2) Equal Flow Distribution From Off Gas Compression Discharge

This control provides equal distribution of Raw Gas flow to Gas Sweetening Trains
1&2 (Unit 11/12-330) from Off Gas Compression (Unit 10-361). This is a cascade
control loop. Pressure controller 10-361-PIC-007 provides set point to both the flow
controllers 10-361-FIC-001 and 10-361-FIC-002 through Flow Ratio control block 10-
361-FY-003. The value of ratio and bias for this block should be configurable at
supervisor security level.

The secondary controllers 10-361-FIC-001 and 10-361-FIC-002 should be able to


operate in auto and manual modes too.

As the pressure increases, the set point will also increase and flow of raw gas will
increase as a result i.e. pressure controller and both flow controllers will be
configured in direct mode.

(3) Off Gas Compressor Suction Temperature Control & 1st Stage Discharge KO
Drum Level Control

Commonly to all air coolers of the unit, air coolers outlet temperature is controlled at
55 degC using fan pitch control.

During turndown operation, compressor suction temperature possible to down too


lower than normal temperature by cold recycle gas across the antisurge control valve
because of JT effect. In order to keep the normal suction temperature (52 degC at
1st stage, 55 degC at 2nd stage), the setpoint of air cooler outlet controller 1A-361-
TIC-011 & 021 will be reset manually.

If compressor suction temperature is down too low, excessive LPG build-up in the
1st stage suction & discharge KO drums 10-361-VA-001A & 002A.

LPG build-up in the 1st stage discharge KO drum is routed to the Rerun Drum 10-

relevant facilities are provided to handle with excessive LPG build-up in the 1st stage
discharge KO drum. In such a case, excess LPG may be routed to the Burn Pit 10-
240-VA-001 and the Rerun Drum 10-210-VA-001A/B simultaneously via 1A-361-LV-

3.10 Unit 362 – Export Gas Compression Unit

3.10.1 Process Theory

The unit consists in three identical, complete and separate compression trains.
During normal operation, two compression trains (train A & B) are in operation and
the third train C is a common spare, in stand-by mode.

The Sales Gas from Dew Point Control Units 11/12-340 are pressurized by Export
Gas Compressors and sent to the Sales Gas Pipeline.

When the turndown operation is required and the export gas load is reduced below
the anti-surge capacity, anti-surge control valves are partially opened automatically
to avoid machinery damage & inconvenience operation.

The sales gas, possibly with the recycle gas from the 1st Stage "process
recirculation line" in the last period of plant operation, feeds the Export Compressor
1st Stage KO Drum 10-362-VA-001 A. As a matter of fact, such "process
recirculation lines" are to be installed as permanent operation below the anti-surge
capacity of the compression trains is expected to occur at the end of the plant life.
The design intention is not to use the "normal" anti-surge lines of the compressors
on a permanent basis. At this stage of the project, dedicated tie-in provisions have
been taken to allow for future installation of such process lines.

In automatic mode, the anti-surge controllers ensure the Anti-Surge protection with
the following functions:
- PID controller who allows smooth control of the compressor on the Anti-Surge
line.
- Adaptative Gain, this permit a quick response of the controller in case of the

3.10.2.1 Common Suction Gas Line

The unit consists into three identical, complete and separate compression trains.
During normal operation, two compression trains (train A & B) are in operation and
the third train C is a common spare, in stand-by mode.

The Sales Gas from Dew Point Control Units 11/12-340 is sent to export gas
compressor unit. At common suction gas line, a pressure blow-off valve 10-362-PV-
002 to HP flare is installed for start-up purpose and upset conditions under pressure
controller 10-362-PIC-002.

The following description is based on train A (Unit 1A-362), but is also applicable to
train B and C (Unit 1B-362 and 1C-362).

3.10.2.2 Export gas Compression 1st Stage

The sales gas, possibly with the recycle gas through antisurge control valve 1A-362-
FV-711, feed the Export gas 1st Stage KO Drum 10-362-VA-001 A.

As it is very unlikely to happen, potential liquid from the 1st Stage Suction KO Drum
is sent to the HP flare system with on-off level controller 1A-362-LIC-011. The
overhead gas is sent to the suction of Export gas Compressor 1st Stage 10-362-KA-
001A.

The compression train suction pressure is controlled by 1A-362-PIC-095 acting on


the compressors drivers' speed controller 1A-362-SIC-701.

At discharge of the Export gas Compressor 1st Stage 10-362-KA-001A, the gas is
cooled down in the Export gas 1st Stage Discharge Cooler 10-362-HC-001A with
50% fan pitch control via hand controller 1A-362-HIC-011.

Cooled gas is sent to the Export gas 2nd Stage KO Drum 10-362-VA-002A, possibly
with the recycle gas through antisurge control valve 1A-362-FV-721.

3.10.2.3 Export gas Compression 2nd Stage

As it is very unlikely to happen, potential liquid from the 2nd Stage Suction KO Drum
is sent to the HP flare system with on-off level controller 1A-362-LIC-011. The
overhead gas is sent to the suction of Export gas Compressor 2nd Stage 10-362-
KA-001A.

The discharge pressure of the Export gas Compressor 2nd Stage is controlled by
1A-362-PIC-724 acting on the compressors drivers' speed controller 1A-362-SIC-
701.

Also, during normal operation, a take-off line supplies fuel gas to the fuel gas system
(Unit 11/12-420), the demand being driven by the fuel gas balance management
system. However, in case of excessive fuel gas demand and so as protect
compression operation, a flow controller 1A-361-FIC-021 becomes active to limit the
gas draw-off to the fuel gas system.

At discharge of the Export gas Compressor 2nd Stage 10-362-KA-001A, the gas is
cooled down in the Export gas 2nd Stage Discharge Cooler 10-362-HC-002A with
50% fan pitch control via hand controller 1A-362-HIC-021.

Cooled gas is sent to the 2nd Stage Discharge Drum 10-362-VA-003A.

As it is very unlikely to happen, potential liquid from the 2nd Stage Discharge Drum
is sent to the HP flare system with on-off level controller 1A-362-LIC-031.

The overhead gas from the 2nd Stage Discharge Drum is exported to the cross-
country gas pipeline with pressure controller 1A-362-PIC-031B, together with the gas
processed by the second compression train B.

Also, at each Second Stage Discharge KO Drum overhead gas line, a pressure
blow-off valve with 1A-362-PIC-031B to flare is installed for start-up purpose and
upset conditions.

3.10.2.4 Common Discharge Gas Line of Export gas Compression

The overhead gas from the 2nd Stage Discharge Drum of each train are mixed and
routed to the cross-country gas pipeline. At common discharge gas line, a pressure
blow-off valve 10-362-PV-092 to HP flare system is installed for start-up purpose
and upset conditions under pressure controller 10-362-PIC-092.

Commonly to the three compression trains, the Export gas Compressor 1st and 2nd
Stages have the same shaft and are driven by the same gas turbine 10-362-MT-
001A. Also, the overall compression train anti-surge control system has been shown
with two dedicated anti-surge lines around each casing.

3.10.3 Process Variables

(1) Two Compressors Running In Parallel

During normal operation, two compression trains (train A & B) are in operation and the
third train C is in stand-by mode. The signal of common suction pressure controller 10-
362-PIC-095 is sent to all three compressors and reset the gas turbine speed controller
1X-362-SIC-701. The two running gas turbines are to be equal speed by controlling
fuel gas flow.

(2) Export gas Compressor Common Suction and 2nd Stage Discharge Pressure
Control

This is an override switch control loop to control the common suction and 2nd stage
discharge pressure. The function of the low selector switch 10-362-PY-095A is
important in this philosophy of pressure control. It takes three input value, one is the
output of common suction pressure controller 10-362-PIC-095 (same signal for all three
compressors A, B and C), other is the output of 2nd stage discharge pressure controller
1A-362-PIC-724 and third one is the value selected by the operator through hand
controller 10-362-HIC-005A. It selects the lowest value out of the three input values
and provides it to the gas turbine speed controller 1A-362-SIC-701 (compressor/turbine
performance control), which takes this value as its set point and maintains the turbine
speed by controlling fuel gas flow.

Common suction controller 10-362-PIC-095 will function in direct acting mode (the
output of the controller will increase if common suction pressure increases) and the 2nd
stage discharge pressure controller 1A-362-PIC-724 will be in the reverse acting mode
(output of the controller will decrease if 2nd stage discharge pressure increases).

In normal operation, operator will set the value of hand controller at 100% and set point
of 2nd stage discharge controller at 86.4 barg, which will keep the output of the 2nd
stage discharge controller higher than the common suction pressure controller. So the
lower selector switch will select common suction controller to provide set point to gas
speed controller.

If, in some case, the 2nd stage discharge pressure increases, the output of the 2nd
stage discharge pressure controller will decrease enough to be less than that of
common suction pressure controller and will be selected as set point for the gas speed
controller, which will ultimately reduce the 2nd stage discharge pressure by slowing
down the speed of turbine.

Operator can control the speed of the turbine during start-up or during normal operation
by using hand controller.

The detail of control philosophy is in case of the discharge pressure increase as


following:

(*1) Pleases note that tapping point of 1A-362-PT-031B (PV-031B) is located at outlet
of 2nd stage discharge drum and 1A-362-PV-031B is normally partially closed.
When compressor discharge pressure is below/above set point (84.1 barG), 1A-
362-PV-031B will be closing/opening in order to keep the compressor discharge
pressure. The pipeline pressure (Normal 75.2 barG) cannot be controlled by 1A-
362-PV-031B.

(*2) The Gas Turbine Speed controller (1A-362-SIC-701) shall be configured to high
limit the discharge pressure of the compressor. If the discharge pressure of the
compressor rises above the discharge pressure limit setpoint (86.4 barG), the gas
turbine speed will decreased to reduce the discharge pressure. (Discharge
pressure controller 1A-362-PIC-724 governs 1A-362-SIC-701 and overrides the
signal from suction pressure controller 10-362-PIC-095.) Antisurge control valve
may be still fully closed, if operating point is on the right side of anti-surge control
line.

(3) Fuel Gas Control at Export Gas Compressor A

1A-362-FY-021B calculates the mass flow rate by compensating the volumetric flow
signal 1A-362-FT-021 with pressure 1A-362-PT-032 and temperature 1A-362-TT-
003 and provides process variable to the flow controller 1A-362-FIC-021.

During normal operation (two export gas compressor running), control valve 1A-362-
FV-021 remains open, because set point of the controller 1A-362-FIC-021 is kept
higher than the actual flow demand (50% of set point). Fuel gas take-off line of each
compressor is connected to the common MP fuel gas header that supplied gas to
the MP fuel gas system (Unit 11/12-420). As the fuel gas demand of fuel gas
system is supplied from both two running compressors (50% + 50%), so the fuel gas
supplying valves remain almost full open in normal conditions. But if one
compressor trips, the other running compressor will tend to supply the full demand of
fuel gas system immediately, and possible to go to surge by reducing 2nd stage flow
rate. To avoid this condition, flow controller will adjust the valve position immediately
to a pre-calculated position (partially closed position). Pre-calculated position is the
position of the valve that supplies 50% of the user demand in normal operation.
Remaining fuel gas is supplied from sales gas back up line taken-off from pipeline

(4) Compensation Of Sales Gas Flow To Pipeline

As the actual pressure and temperature may deviate from the normal conditions so to
have an accurate flow rate, temperature and pressure compensation is required.
10-362-FY-010 block calculates mass flow rate of sales gas by taking volumetric flow
from 10-362-FT-010, pressure from 10-362-PT-001 and temperature from 10-362-TT-
001.

(13) Open suction 10-361-SDV-013 and discharge 10-361-SDV-032.

Note: At the start up, compressor vendor PLC requires a “Start Permissive”
signal from DCS to start the compressor. This signal will be generated
by DCS depending on the following conditions:
1) 10-361-MOV-001 Open
2) 10-361-SDV-013 Open
3) 10-361-MOV-002 Open

Please note that ASCV opening signals are included in start-permissive


from compressor vendor PLC itself.

This permissive signal will automatically be issued if all the above


conditions are satisfied and will be sent to compressor vendor PLC
through soft link. After startup this signal will no more be affective even
if it goes off due to the failure of any of its conditions.

(14) Push the start button and start the 10-361-MT-001A start-up program.
(Ventilation, Check lube oil system, Air purge, Fuel system is commissioned
including SDV-711 open, Pilot ignition, Main burner ignition).

Note: A software hand switch 10-361-HS-061 will be configured in DCS and


its signal will be conveyed to package PLC through soft link. This
signal will be used for the purging of the compressor by keeping the
anti-surge control valves 1A-361-FV-711 and 1A-361-FV-721 closed,
when the compressor in not in operation. Unless this hand switch is
reset, anti-surge valves can’t be opened and hence compressor can’t
be started. Once this switch is reset, control will be shifted to package
PLC. During normal operation this hand switch will have no affect.

(15) 10-361-MT-001A is ramped up.

(16) Full recycle operation is established. Set anti-surge controller in auto mode.

Corrosion coupon (CC) and probe (ER) are installed to examine the performance of
corrosion inhibitor. The following actions should be taken.

(1) Check the corrosion rate regularly (*)


(2) Adjust the injection rate of corrosion inhibitor, if necessary.

Note (*) Frequency of the corrosion monitoring shall be decided based on the actual
data of the monitoring. Generally, monitoring will be done frequently at first and then
the span will become longer.

The performance of corrosion inhibitor injected at 20-130-VQ-003/004 can be examined


at the following CC & ER installation points.
(a) at the process oily water lines from 20-130-VQ-003/004
(b) at the raw gas outlet line of 20-130-VZ-003/004
(c) at the raw gas outlet lines of 10-200-VA-001A/B

The performance of corrosion inhibitor injected at 10-200-VA-001A/B bottom line can


be examined at the CC & ER installation points of the bottom liquid line of 10-200-VA-
001A/B.

6.1.3.3 Accumulated Liquid Monitoring

Liquid traps are installed at the liquid drain lines of 20-130-VZ-003/004 to automatically
remove the accumulated liquid in 20-130-VZ-003/004.
The liquid levels of LG-313/314 should be checked regularly to examine the
performance of the liquid traps.

6.2 Unit 210 Liquid Stabilization Unit

6.2.1 Process Variables

The main responsibility of this unit operator is to produce on-spec stabilized condensate
and recover lighter components from condensate. This is normally accomplished by
automatic controls. With respect to the Condensate Desalters, refer to the Operation
and Maintenance Manual submitted by NATCO JAPAN.

The operator is confronted with two types of process variables:

(a) Observable variables such as pressure, temperature, flow and level.

(b) External variables, which the unit operator has little or no control over such as
feed composition, ambient temperature, and shipping schedule / equipment
efficiency variations.

(1) Operating Variables

Check carefully the following operating variables and take proper actions
described in Section 3.2.3.

¨ Wet Oil Flow Rate from Inlet Separators


¨ Hot Oil Flow Rate to Stabilizer Reboiler, Feed Temperature and Reflux Rate
of Stabilizer

6.2.2 Alternative Operating Modes

6.2.2.1 Two Trains of Liquid Stabilization Unit

Two identical liquid stabilization systems are installed in parallel (Train-A & B) except for
condensate desalters, which are a two-stage desalting process. Both two trains are
normally in service under the first pressure/production plateau period of the oil wells.
However, under the conditions of the well depletion, one train operation is
recommended in view of the operational flexibility (turndown ratio).

6.2.2.2 Change Over of MOV around Desalter Feed Pumps

In normal operation, the condensate from each Inlet Separator, 10-210-VA-001AB, is


processed by one dedicated Desalter Feed Pump, the third one being in stand-by mode
as a common spare. Three operating cases are described below. The open/close
status of MOVs around Desalter Feed Pumps for each operating case is tabulated in
Table-6.2.1

6.2.2.3 Condensate Desalters

Two Condensate Desalters are normally operated in series. Single Desalter operation is
possible, but in this case, oil flow rate should be decreased to half of the design flow
rate and the requirement of desalinated water make-up rate will rise to 20m3/hr from
normal 3m3/hr. The valve open/close status for each operating case is tabulated in
Table-6.2.2. The simplified flow diagrams for each operating case are attached in

HA-002AB, shows the off-spec, the destination of the product should be changed to the
Rerun Drum, 10-210-VA-004, to protect the atmospheric tank against HC
venting/rupture.

The following procedures are to be taken.

(1) Off spec product case from train-A

RVP Analyzer,10-210-AI-002, shows off-spec with high alarm.

(a) Open normally closed 8” gate valve, which is located downstream of 10-210-
FE-121.
(b) Change 10-210-HS-101A position from 1 to 3 (normally from 1 to 2) and 10-
210-HS-101 position from 1 to 2 in order to transmit the signal from 10-210-
LIC-063 to LY-102.

(c) Close 10-210-LV-063.

(2) Off spec product case from train-B

RVP Analyzer,10-210-AI-003, shows off-spec with high alarm.

(a) Open normally closed 8” gate valve, which is located downstream of 10-210-
FE-122.
(b) Change 10-210-HS-101B position from 1 to 3 (normally from 1 to 2) and 10-
210-HS-101 position from 1 to 2 in order to transmit the signal from 10-210-
LIC-073 to LY-102.
(c) Close 10-210-LV-073.

6.2.2.5 Destination of the Liquid in Rerun Drum

Rerun Drum, 10-210-VA-004, is not normally in operation. It receives off-spec


condensate, NGL from DPCU (No NGL mode) and other streams from Flare KO Drum
and Sump Drums etc.

When the liquid level reaches high level alarm set point, the duty pump 10-210-PA-
005A will start automatically. If the liquid level keeps rising and reaches the high high
liquid alarm set point, the standby pump 10-210-PA-005B will start automatically. Both
running pumps will stop when the liquid level reaches the low level set point.

The liquid in the Rerun Drum can be sent to the following three destinations. However,
Burn Pit Drum should not be normally selected because the product is disposed. In
case the liquid in Rerun Drum is off-spec condensate, the off-spec condensate tank
should be selected as the destination because recycling to Inlet separators will further
deteriorate the unsteady conditions in Liquid Stabilization unit. The selection of Inlet
Separators is to be made after taking into account the operating conditions in Liquid
Stabilization unit. The maximum liquid receiving scenario for Rerun Drum is to

simultaneously receive the off-spec condensate from the Liquid Stabilization Unit and
NGL from DPCU. In this case, direct recycling to the Inlet Separator shall be avoided.
Instead, select Off-spec Tank.

(1) Inlet Separators, 10-210-VA-001AB, for recycle


(2) Off-spec Condensate Tank, 10-220-TA-001 or 002 for storage (and recycle to Inlet
Separator)
(3) Burn Pit Drum, 10-240-VA-001, for disposal

On-off valves are respectively installed to select the destination as follows:


(1) 10-210-UV-039 for Inlet Separators
(2) 10-210-UV-038 (*) for Off-spec Condensate Tank
(3) 10-210-UV-037 for Burn Pit Drum
Note (*) UV-038 is automatically shut off in case the operating pressure of Rerun Drum rises to
0.2barG to protect the Tank from HC venting/rupture.

6.2.3 Other Operations

Note (*) See Section 9. Analytical Requirements.

6.2.3.2 Water Draw-off from Condensate Stabilizer

Water condensation is normally not expected to occur in Condensate Stabilizer, but


water accumulation section is installed at .the top 4 trays.
Operator should regularly conduct the following operation to detect any presence of
condensed water.

SHEET 233 OF 370
Project Specification

Water Draw-off from Each Tray


(1) Open the valve on the vapor line from Water Drain Pot to Stabilizer OVHD gas line
checking PI-364/374.
(2) Gradually open the valve on the water draw-off line from tray#1 checking LDI-
062/072-1 (interface liquid level of water drain pot)
(3) Close the valve after hydrocarbon condensate appears in Water Drain Pot.
(4) Check the operating pressure (PI-364/374)
(5) Repeat (2) to (4) from tray#2 to tray#4.

Drain-out from Water Drain Pot


(1) Gradually open the valve on the water drain line from the bottom of Water Drain Pot
checking the interface liquid level (LDG-362/372)
(2) Close the valve when the interface liquid level decreases to minimum level from the
bottom.
6.2.3.3 Corrosion Monitoring

Corrosion coupon (CC) and probe (ER) are installed downstream of 10-210-HA-001AB
to examine the performance of corrosion inhibitor, which is injected at 10-210-PA-
001ABC suction lines. The following actions should be taken.

(1) Check the corrosion rate regularly (*)


(2) Adjust the injection rate of corrosion inhibitor, if necessary

Note (*) Frequency of the corrosion monitoring shall be decided based on the actual
data of the monitoring. Generally, monitoring will be done frequently at first and then
the span will become longer.

6.2.3.4 Drain-out from Ventury & Orifice type flowmeters

Basically, vent valves are installed instead of drain valves on the raw gas lines from
Inlet Separators,10-210-VA-001AB, and Stabilizer Reflux Drums,10-210-VA-002AB,
because the condensate accumulation at drain valves will cause the corrosion. Some
drain valves, however, are reluctantly installed from the structural point of view to
remove the condensate accumulation as follows. Regular drain-out operation should be
done to protect against corrosion for the following valves.

(1) 3/4” drain valve located at 10-210-FT-115 (ventury type)


(2) 3/4” drain valve located downstream of the above 3/4” drain valve
(3) 3/4” drain valve located at 10-210-FT-117 (ventury type)
(4) 3/4” drain valve located downstream of the above 3/4” drain valve
(5) 3/4” drain valve located at 10-210-FT-123 (orifice type)
(6) 3/4” drain valve located at 10-210-FT-124 (orifice type)

6.2.3.5 Drain-out of Interface Sludge Accumulation from Condensate Desalters

Sampling of the interface is recommended before it builds into a thick layer and
interferes with the operation of the electrostatic system. If interface sludge is discovered

to be a problem, it should then be addressed by special chemical treatment, or by


draining the interface sludge away for segregated treatment. Some interface emulsion
is normal, however, if this layer begins to increase in depth, corrective actions should
be taken. These may include adjustment of chemical, operating temperature or
drainage of the interface.

6.3 Unit 220 Condensate Storage Tank

6.3.1 Process Variables

The main responsibility of this unit operator is to transport the stabilized condensate,
which is mixed with NGL from Dew Point Control Units at the pump discharge, to
Coastal plant via oil cross-country pipeline. This is normally accomplished by
automatic controls.

The operator is confronted with two types of process variables:

(a) Observable variables such as pressure, temperature, flow and level.

(b) External variables, which the unit operator has little or no control over such
as ambient temperature and shipping schedule / equipment efficiency
variations.

(1) Operating Variables

Check carefully the following operating variables and take proper actions
described in Section 3.3.3.

¨ Recycle Flow Rate of Off-Spec Condensate


¨ Rotating Speed of Liquid Export Pump

6.3.2 Alternative Operating Modes

6.3.2.1 Change Over of On/Off-Spec Condensate Tanks

Two identical condensate storage tanks, 10-220-TA-001/002, are installed. Normally,


one is for on-spec condensate and the other is for off-spec condensate. Two tanks for
on-spec condensate are possible. There are three operating cases as follows:

Case-1: 10-220-TA-001 for on-spec condensate,


10-220-TA-002 for off-spec condensate

Case-2: 10-220-TA-001 for off-spec condensate,


10-220-TA-002 for on-spec condensate

Case-3: 10-220-TA-001 & 002 for on-spec condensate,


10-220-TA-001 as a receiving tank from Stabilizer
10-220-TA-002 as an exporting tank
(10-220-PA-003 is out of service.)

Regarding the position of 10-220-HS-003, the following signals are to be taken for each
case to control the rotating speed of Liquid Export Pumps.

6.3.2.2 Transportation of Stabilized Condensate and NGL

In normal operation, stabilized condensate and NGL from two DPCU trains are mixed at
the discharge of Liquid Export Pump and then transported to Coastal plant via oil
pipeline under pressure control. Some variations of liquid transportation are expected
such as stabilized condensate only, stabilized condensate plus NGL from one DPCU
train, etc. However, pure NGL transportation, i.e., free of any stabilized condensate,
should be avoided because the Coastal plant cannot receive such a high vapor
pressure stream.

6.3.3.2 Water Draw-off from Stabilized Condensate Tank

In normal operation, free water is removed from the stabilized condensate in Liquid
Stabilization Unit. A sump, however, is installed at the bottom of Stabilized Condensate
Tank to collect free water as a last removing chance in case the condensate contains it.
The following actions should be taken regularly.

(1) Open the 3/4” valve and 8” valve at nozzle


(2) Draw-off water checking the fluid color at drip funnel
(3) Close the 8” valve and 3/4” valve after oil spills

6.5 Unit 330 – Gas Sweetening Unit

6.5.1 Operating variables

The main responsibility of this unit operator is to maintain production of on-spec


treated gas. This is normally accomplished by automatic controls. However, the
operator to monitor the process variables and to intervene when changes are
occurred which would cause the product qualities to vary outside the allowable
range. An understanding of the process is necessary to permit the operator to
anticipate the operating changes required due to changes in the process variables
and thereby avoid interruptions to production or the production of off-spec product.

The operator is confronted with three types of process variables:

(a) Observable variables such as pressure, temperature, level, and stream


composition.

(b) Internal variables, which are dependent on special or alternative modes of


operation within the unit such as composition of DEA solution.

(c) External variables, which the unit operator has little or no control over such
as feed gas composition, ambient temperature, and shipping schedule /
equipment efficiency variations.

(1) Site Temperature

The site temperature has a margin effect on the operation of the Gas
Sweetening Unit since the most critical temperature is controlled within the
process.

(2) Operating Variables

Check carefully the following operating variables and take proper operations
described in Section 3.5.3.

- Feed Gas Composition

- Feed Gas Temperature

- Feed Gas Pressure

- Lean Amine (30wt% DEA) Solution Composition

- Lean Amine Solution Temperature

- Lean Amine Flow Rate

- Amine Regenerator Pressure

- Amine Regenerator Reflux Rate

(3) Anti-forming

Foaming of the amine solution gives rise to extra amine loss, reduced plant
throughput and unstable operation. The acid gas content in the treated gas may
increase dramatically and usually the sales gas specification cannot be met.

Foaming may be caused by:

¨ Traces of amine degradation products

¨ Liquid hydrocarbons, which are entrained or formed due to low


temperatures in the absorber.

¨ The solid particles, which are not removed in amine filtration package

¨ Foreign materials originating from related equipment such as: lubricants and
conservation oils / greases

¨ Some corrosion inhibitors

¨ Other surface-active materials introduced into the system

(a) Detection of foaming

The followings may be indications that foaming or carryover is occurring or is


about to occur. Operator shall check the conditions to detect foaming.

¨ An erratic profile of the differential pressure over the trays / packing of the
HP absorber 11-330-VE-001 and the Amine regenerator 11-330-VJ-001.
The pressure drop increases during foaming.

¨ A sudden increase of the level of the HP absorber 11-330-VE-001 water


wash section and the Amine regenerator reflux drum 11-330-VA-005 due to
carryover of foam and amine solution from the HP absorber and / or the
Amine regenerator.

¨ A sudden decrease of the level in the Amine regenerator due to an


increased liquid hold-up on the trays / packing of the HP absorber, the
Amine regenerator.

¨ A sudden increase in the Amine regenerator overhead temperature.

¨ A sudden increase of the flash gas in the Amine flash drum 11-330-VA-003
due to the carryover of gas in the rich amine solution.

¨ Higher than normal amine solution losses.

(b) Foam Control

Foaming can be controlled by measures taken in the design and by proper


operation.

To prevent potential foaming, following facilities are provided in the unit.

1. Anti-foam injection system

The Anti-foam injection package 11-330-XX-002 is provided to inject


anti-foam to the lean amine solution.

2. Oil skimming system

Oil skimming facilities are provided to remove entering hydrocarbon form


the HP absorber 11-330-VE-001, the Treated gas K.O. drum 11-330-VA-
004, the Rich amine flash drum 11-330-VA-003 and the Regenerator
reflux drum 11-330-VA-005.

NOTE: The Regenerator reflux drum 10-330-VA-005 contains mainly


CO2. Operator should carefully check the closing of block valves on
skimming line from the Regenerator reflux drum at draining operation of
skimming line.

3. Filtration System

The Lean amine filtration package 11-330-XX-001 is provided to remove


solid particles and hydrocarbons. About 10% of the main circulation flow
rate is continuously fed to the Lean amine filtration package. The Lean
amine main filter 11-330-CL-002A/B, processing the overall filtration
circulation stream, is pre-coat filter to remove solid particles. A split
stream of about 5% of the filtration circulation stream is processes
through the downstream activated carbon bed of the Lean amine
Charcoal filter 11-330-CN-001A/B to remove contamination and
hydrocarbon. The Lean amine guard filter 11-330-CL-003A/B is set to
remove any entrained particles from upstream filters.

¨ Proper operation for foaming prevention

- Confirm proper temperature control of the lean amine solution to prevent


hydrocarbon condensing. 5 degree higher temperature shall be
maintained from the absorber feed gas temperature.

- Check the foaming tendency of the amine solution regularly.

- Maintain flow rate to the Amine filtration package.

- Check and remove hydrocarbons form the skimming facilities provided at


in the unit, such as the HP absorber, the Treated Gas K.O. drum and the
Rich amine flash drum.

- Confirm anti-foam injection rate form the Anti-foam injection pumps 11-
330-PD-001A/B. Start the Anti-foam shock injection pump 11-330-PD-
002 when the foaming tendency of amine solution is increasing.

¨ Immediate response measures

The following measures are suggested for immediate response to a foaming


incident. It is important that once following measures are taken the operator. Then
operators shall investigate the underlying cause of the foaming as mentioned on the
beginning of this section.

Absorber

- To reduce the lean solvent flow fed to the foaming absorber. This will allow the
foaming solvent to drain from skimming lines (the liquid level will rise at this time).
After a short period (15 minutes) the solvent flow to the absorber can be
increased again.

Regenerator

- At severe foaming, hot oil stream fed to reboilers shall be reduced. This will allow
the foaming solvent to drain from skimming lines (the liquid level will rise at this
time). After short period (10 minutes), the stream can be increased to its normal
rate.

If foaming is continued, a limited shock dosing of anti-foaming agent can be


considered in the system.

6.5.2 Quality Control

(1) CO2 content

The CO2 content of the feed gas is measured on line by the analyzer 11-330-AI-
041. This analyzer has a range of 0 to 5mol%. CO2 will alarm at 4mol%. The
operator shall check whether the CO2 content of feed gas is according to
specification.

The CO2 content of the treated gas is measured on line by the analyzer 11-330-
AI-051. This analyzer has a range of 0 to 5mol%. CO2 will alarm at 2mol%. If the
CO2 content begins to increase, the operator should take action to rectify the
problem by improving the performance of absorption or adjusting the feed rate
to the Gas sweetening unit, suggested action mentioned in section 3.5.3

Feed rate to the Gas sweetening unit varies on operation modes by using flow
ratio controller 11-330-FFC-052. Feed gas feed rate for each operation modes is
as follows:

In all operation modes except No NGL operation mode, CO2 content is normally
kept less than 1.7 vol% (Specification figure is < 2 vol%). However, the CO2
content at No NGL operation mode rises up to 1.9 vol% to keep the heating
value specification of sales gas by increasing of by-pass flow.

(2) Amine carry-over

Malfunction of level controller 11-330-LIC-041 may introduce no water level in


water in the washing section of the HP absorber 11-330-VE-001 which causes
amine carry-over into treated gas.
Operator should check the water level at local level gauge 11-330-LG-341
regularly.

(3) Laboratory Analysis

¨ Feed and Product

The analyzer 11-330-AI-041 and 051 are provided to monitor the CO2
content of the feed gas and the treated gas respectively. Laboratory
analyses will be required on a monthly basis to check these analyzers
themselves. For this purpose, sampling connections are provided in the unit.
Also laboratory analyses are required to determine the composition of the
flash gas from the rich amine flash vessel11-330-VA-003 and the acid gas
from the regenerator reflux drum 11-330-VA-005. Testing should be on a
weekly basis.

¨ Lean amine solution

The CO2 contents of the lean amine solution shall be determined regularly

to check whether the regeneration is proceeding properly. Sampling


connections are provided around the regenerator 11-330-VJ-001 for this
purpose.

¨ Fresh amine solution

Sample connection is provided to determine the composition of the fresh


amine solution.

¨ Hot oil leaking

Hydrocarbons (HC) contamination by hot oil leaking form the Regenerator


reboiler 11-330-HA-002 causes the foaming that makes decrease the
performance of the Gas sweetening unit. Operator should check HC
contamination by using sample connection 11-330-SC-011.

¨ Amine contamination

Amine contamination to slop oil due to high liquid level of amine solution in
the Amine recovery drum 10-330-VA-001 is expected when the Amine
recovery pump 10-330-PA-001 is not available or the level controller 11-330-
LIC-003 is fault. In these cases, operator should check the amine
contamination to slop oil at 10-330-SC-002. Operator should close 10-330-
UV-005 and change operation of the Slop oil pump 10-330-PA-002 to
minimum flow circulation until amine in slop oil is not detected. Operator may
require the draining operation to the Amine drain drum 10-330-VA-003
because of the further liquid built-up in the Amine recovery drum.

6.5.3 Single tank sharing operation

One single lean amine storage tank is shared to operate the two sweetening units
(11-330 and 12-330) when another tank is in shutdown. The relevant piping
connections are provided for the sharing operation. Detail procedures of single tank
operation to see Section 5.5.9 “Amine Circulation with single tank sharing operation”.

6.6 Unit 310 – Gas Dehydration Unit

6.6.1 Operating variables

The main responsibility of this unit operator is to maintain production of on-spec


treated gas, i.e., the moisture content of the treated gas below 0.1 ppmv. This is
normally accomplished by automatic controls. However, the operator to monitor the
process variables and to intervene when changes are occurred which would cause
the product qualities to vary outside the allowable range. An understanding of the
process is necessary to permit the operator to anticipate the operating changes
required due to changes in the process variables and thereby avoid interruptions to
production or the production of off-spec product.

The operator is confronted with two types of process variables:

(a) Observable variables such as pressure, temperature, level, and stream


composition.

(b) External variables, which the unit operator has little or no control over such
as feed gas composition, ambient temperature, and equipment efficiency
variations.

Operating Variables

Check carefully the following operating variables and take proper operations
described in Section 3.6.3.

- Feed Gas Temperature at the outlet of Gas/Gas Exchanger

- Gas Flow Rate to Dryers in adsorption mode

- Pressure Drop across Dryers

- Regeneration Gas Flow Rate to Regeneration Gas Heater

- Regeneration Gas Temperature at the outlet of Regeneration Gas Heater

- Fuel Gas Pressure at Main Burners of Regeneration Gas Heater

- Regeneration Gas Pressure at suction/discharge of Regeneration Gas


Compressor

6.6.2 Typical Operation for Gas Dryers

The overall adsorption-regeneration cycle time is 720 minutes. Individual dryers are
in adsorption mode for 480 minutes and in regeneration mode for 230 minutes
including heating and cooling, so that two dryers are in adsorption mode and one in
regeneration mode at any time, For the remaining period of 10 minutes per

Project Specification

adsorption-regeneration cycle, the regenerated dryer is in stand-by mode. (The


above regeneration and standby time is according to the bases of 110% feed gas
and 100% regeneration gas flow rate.)

(1) ADSORPTION MODE

In an adsorption mode, wet feed gas enters to the top of the two dryers by
opening automatic sequence valves (UVs) in the feed gas lines. As there are
two on-line moisture analyzers11310AT011/012, so automatic switching will
connect these analyzers to the dryers in adsorption mode by sequence. If any of
the analyzer detects excess moisture at any time before 480 minutes timer
expires, the mode of sequence will be converted from auto to semi-auto mode.
The adsorption mode finishes after 480 minutes.

(2) REGENERATION MODE

In regeneration mode, dry regeneration gas enters to the bottom of the dryer by
opening UVs in the regeneration gas lines. The regeneration mode consists of
three phases:

1) Ramp-up of regeneration gas temperature from 33 to 285 deg C (5 minutes),


2) Regeneration heating by the regeneration gas of 285 deg C (165 minutes),
3) Regeneration cooling by the dry gas of 33 deg C (60 minutes).

After completion of the regeneration step the bed is kept in standby mode until it
is automatically switched to adsorption mode again.
Duration of regeneration heating /cooling time should be adjusted in
commissioning period, if necessary.

(3) ADSORPTION / REGENERATION SEQUENCE CONTROL

To explain the control sequence, it is assumed that, dryer-A (11310VK001A) is


going to finish its adsorption and entering into its regeneration cycle and dryer-C
(11310VK001C) is starting its adsorption after completing regeneration cycle. As
a general rule if open/close status of valve is not confirmed at any stage,
sequence will stop.

Step 1: After cooling timer for dryer-C expires, a stand-by timer for a dryer-C will
start and 11310UV042 starts to open and 11310UV041, 11310UV025
and 11310UV034 starts to close. Also regeneration gas compressor
11310KB001A goes in full recycle mode and 25% loading is selected
through 11310I7-021 overriding positions of hand switch 11310HS731-0
or 11310HS780-1. When 09 minutes expires in the stand-by timer,
11310UV024 starts to open, and after its open status confirmation,
11310UV030 will open. When open status of 11310UV030 is confirmed
and 10 minutes stand-by timer expires, adsorption timer for a dryer-C for
480 minutes will start and a heating timer for dryer-A of 170 minutes will
start.

Step 2: Open position confirmation of 11310UV030 will start the regeneration

mode of dryer A by closing 11310UV011 and 11310UV013. Close


position confirmation of these valves will open 11310UV014 and after
confirming its open position 11310UV012 will be opened and confirmed.

Step 3: At this step two ramps will be initiated, one to control the flow rate of
treated gas from dry gas filters to regeneration gas separator
11310VA003 and the other to control the temperature of regeneration
gas. In this ramp-up step of regeneration mode, the set point of
11310FIC041 is ramped automatically zero to 1531 kg-mol/h in one
minute by 11310FY041, regeneration gas compressor 11310KB001A/B
(which one is in operation) will be shifted to 100% loading through
11310I7-021 and set point of 11310TIC041 is ramped from 31 to 285 OC
in 05 minutes by 11310TY041 through logic sequence simultaneously.
Pressure controller 11310PIC044 controls fuel gas pressure operating in
a cascade mode with 11310TIC041. In the response of ramp-up,
temperature starts increasing. The time is noted down as “Time A” when
O
temperature of dryer A, 11310TI005, reaches 240 C. A timer started at
O
time A, will check if temperature is kept more than or equal to 240 C for
10 minutes. If the temperature 11310TI005 is kept equal or more the 240
O
C for 10 minutes with in the heating time of 170 minutes, the control will
be shifted to Step 4 after 170 minute heating timer expires, otherwise to
Step 8.

Step 4: Main burner is turned off and disconnection of heater from regeneration is
carried out in this step. 11310UV041 is opened and after receiving its
open status, close position of 11310PV044 is also confirmed before
closing 11310UV042. A regeneration-cooling timer of 60 minutes is
started and set point of 11310TIC041 is changed from 285 to 31OC at the
same time.

Step 5: As the 60 minute regeneration-cooling timer expires; a stand-by timer of


10 minutes will be started. To cut down the treated gas flow to
regeneration gas separator, set point of 11310FIC041 is ramped-down
from 1531 kg-mol/h to zero in one minute. Heater inlet valve 11310UV042
is opened and bypass valve 11310UV041 is closed and also regeneration
inlet and outlet valves 11310UV012/11310UV014 are closed.
Closing/opening status of all valves is confirmed before moving to next
step.

Step 6: After 09 minutes of stand-by timer, first step of putting the dryer A in the
adsorption mode will be taken by opening 11310UV011 and when its
open status is confirmed, 11310UV013 valve will be opened.

Step 7: When open status of 11310UV013 is confirmed and 10 minutes stand-by


timer expires, an adsorption timer of 480 minutes for dryer A is started.
Also a heating timer of 170 minutes is started for dryer B (if dryer B is
next to go to regeneration mode) as it was done in step 1 for dryer A.
Sequence will continue from step 2 to onwards.

Step 8: Reset heating-timer to 175 minutes (increase 05 minutes) and stand-by

timers 04 and 05 minutes (reduce 05 minutes). If the temperature


O
11310TI005 is kept equal or more the 240 C for 10 minutes with in the
heating time of 175 minutes, the control will be shifted to Step 10 after
175 minute heating-timer expires otherwise mode of sequence will be
converted from auto to semi-auto mode.

Step 9: Open position confirmation of 11310UV030 will start the regeneration


mode of dryer A as stated in Step 2 to Step 7 except stand-by timer
setting 05 minutes less than that of in Step 5.

6.6.3 Quality Control

(1) Moisture Analysis

Each Dryer has one moisture probe and they are connected with two analyzers
11-310-AT-011/021. Moisture content in the gas from Dryers in adsorption
mode is analyzed by switching connection between moisture probes and
analyzers. The operator shall check the performance of the Dryers during
adsorption periods. When a high water concentration is detected, an alarm is
initiated.

Another analyzer 11-310-AT-022 is installed at the outlet of the Dry Gas Filters
for redundancy.

(2) Laboratory Analysis

6.7 Unit 350 – Dry Gas Demercurization Unit

6.7.1 Operating variables

The main responsibility of this unit operator is to maintain production of on-spec


treated gas, i.e., the mercury content of the treated gas below 10 nano-grams/Nm3.
This is normally accomplished without specific controls. However, the operator to
monitor the process variables and to intervene when changes are occurred which
would cause the product qualities to vary outside the allowable range. An
understanding of the process is necessary to permit the operator to anticipate the
operating changes required due to changes in the process variables and thereby
avoid interruptions to production or the production of off-spec product.

The operator is confronted with two types of process variables:

(a) Observable variables such as pressure, temperature, level, and stream


composition.

(b) External variables, which the unit operator has little or no control over such as
feed gas composition, ambient temperature, and equipment efficiency
variations.

Check carefully the following operating variables:

- Pressure Drop across Demercurization Reactor (11-350-PDI-006)

- Pressure Drop across Demercurization Filter (11-350-PDI-002/301) during


initial start-up period only.

6.8 Unit 340 – Dew Point Control Unit

6.8.1 Operating variables

The main responsibility of this unit operator is to maintain production of on-spec


sales gas and NGL, i.e., propane heavier condensate. This is normally
accomplished by automatic controls. However, the operator to monitor the process
variables and to intervene when changes are occurred which would cause the
product qualities to vary outside the allowable range. An understanding of the
process is necessary to permit the operator to anticipate the operating changes
required due to changes in the process variables and thereby avoid interruptions to
production or the production of off-spec product.

The operator is confronted with two types of process variables:

(c) Observable variables such as pressure, temperature, level, and stream


composition.

(d) External variables, which the unit operator has little or no control over such
as feed gas composition, ambient temperature, and equipment efficiency
variations.

Operating Variables

Check carefully the following operating variables and take proper operations
described in Section 3.8.3.

- Feed Gas Temperature at the Expander Inlet KO Drum


- Pressure at the inlet of the Expander
- Pressure and Temperature at the top of the Purifier
- Sales Gas Temperature at the outlet of the Cold Box
- Sales Gas Pressure and Temperature at the outlet of the DPCU Final

- Pressure at the NGL Surge Drum


- NGL flow rate to Pipeline
- NGL flow rate to the Rerun Drum in the Unit 10-210 (No-NGL operating
case)

6.8.2 Typical Operation

The Dew Point Control Unit operates in the Expander mode normally. The pressure
upstream of the Expander (high pressure section) is controlled by 11-340-PIC-
023A/B; meanwhile, the pressure downstream of the Expander (low pressure
section) is controlled by 10-362-PIC-095 at the suction header of the Export Gas
Compressors in Unit 10-362. Although the pressure control valve 11-340-PV-022 is
provided with 11-340-PIC-022 at the outlet of the DPCU Final Cooler 11-340-HC-
001, 11-340-PV-022 fully open in normal operation. It will be active in case of
significant pressure reduction in the suction of the Export Gas Compressor so as to
keep stable condition in the Unit 11-340. Hence, the set pressure of 11-340-PIC-
022 should be 0.5 bar lower than the normal operating pressure. Operators should
adjust the actual set pressure, if required.

The flow rate of the Deethanizer overhead gas is resultant in normal operation.
Once the flow rate increases by significant upset, it might diverge without limit
because of the stream recycle scheme. The flow control valve 11-340-FV-034 with
11-340-FIC-034 is provided in the Deethanizer overhead line to prevent this
phenomenon. The 11-340-FV-034 fully open in normal operation and the set point
of 11-340-FIC-034 should be 120% of the normal flow rate. Operator should adjust
the actual set pressure, if required.

6.8.3 Special Operating Modes

The Dew Point Control Unit is designed to accomplish the flexible operation in case
that the Expander is out of service or that the liquid pipeline is not available.

(1) Joule-Thomson Operating Mode

In case of the Expander shutdown, the feed gas from the Expander Inlet KO
Drum is fed to the Purifier via Joule-Thomson (J-T) valve installed on the by-
pass line of the Expander. This is achieved automatically by 11-340-PIC-
023A/B.

After Expander’s shutdown an operator shall change the operating set points as
follows:

11-340-TIC-022: 2.0 deg.C


11-340-TIC-034: 140 deg.C
11-340-PIC-012: 26.1 barA (*1)
11-340-PIC-043A: 24.9 barA
11-340-FIC-034: 7680 kg/hr (*2)

NOTE (*1) Set point = the operating pressure minus 0.5 bar
(*2) Set point = the operating flow rate x 120%

(2) No-NGL Operating Mode

In case of the liquid pipeline is not available, NGL from the Deethanizer bottom
is recycled to the Inlet Separator via the Rerun Drum in the Unit 10-210. This is
achieved by an operator in accordance with the following procedures:

(a) Limit the feed gas flow rate to the Plant from gas wells to 90% of the normal
flow rate by adjusting of the well head operation.
(b) Change flow rate of the feed gas to the HP Absorber in the Gas Sweetening
Unit 11/12-330 by means of 11/12-330-FFC-052. Refer to Section 6.5.2 for
the set value of the flow rate.
(c) Stop the Expander and shift to Joule-Thomson operating mode.
(d) Switch following signal connections from/to controllers and UV open/close
by means of 11-340-HS-002:
Signal from 11-340-TIC-038 connects to 11-340-FIC-031
Signal from 11-340-LIC-031 connects to 11-340-FIC-053
11-340-UV-003: Close
11-340-UV-031: Open
(e) Change operating set points as follows:
11-340-TIC-022: -3.5 deg.C
11-340-TIC-038: 93 deg.C
11-340-PIC-012: 22.5 barA (*1)
11-340-FIC-034: 6540 kg/hr (*2)
10-362-PIC-095: 18.6 barA

NOTE (*1) Set point = the operating pressure minus 0.5 bar
(*2) Set point = the operating flow rate x 120%

6.8.4 Other Operation

Methanol Injection

The purpose of the methanol injection system is to remove potential hydrate


formation in piping or equipments, which might be caused in case that moisture
remains in the system after drying operation or that the upstream Dehydration Unit is
not properly functioned. The hydrate formation gives rise to plugging of the fluid in
strainers, mist eliminators or inside of layers in the plate fin heat exchangers. This
results in unstable operation of the plant and loss of performance.

The methanol injection points hard-piped to the Methanol Injection System 11-340-
XX-001 are provided at the following locations:

7.2.2.1 Reduce Feed Flow to Train-A

Gradually reduce the following variables to the minimum turndown rate, but take
care that the stabilizer bottom product does not become off-specification.

(1) Feed rate to the Inlet Separator 10-210-VA-001A


(2) Wet Oil outlet rate from Inlet Separator to Desalter Preheater 10-210-HA-001A
(3) Treated Condensate flow rate from Desalters to Condensate Stabilizer 10-210-
VE-001A
(4) Hot Oil flow rate to the Stabilizer Reboiler 10-210-HA-004A keeping the
temperatures of Stabilizer tray#14 and the bottom product in normal operation
(5) Fresh water make-up rate to Condensate Desalters

Adjust the operation of the downstream Off Gas Compression unit and Waste Water
Treatment unit accordingly.

7.2.2.2 Divert Product Rundown of Train-A to Rerun Drum from On-spec Condensate Storage
Tank

When the feed rate has been reduced to the minimum turndown rate, divert the
condensate product rundown to the Rerun Drum 10-210-VA-004 through 10-210-LV-
102 by the signal selector 10-210-HS-101. In the Rerun Drum, the lighter
hydrocarbons are flashed to LP flare header. The remaining hydrocarbon liquid will
be sent to the Off-spec Condensate Storage Tank 10-220-TA-001 or 002.

7.2.2.3 Stop Feed Flow to Train-A

Stop the feed flow to the Inlet Separator 10-210-VA-001A. After a while, the
condensate feed rate to the Condensate Desalters 10-210-VU-001/002 will become
50% of normal operation because of no flow from 10-210-VA-001A.

7.2.2.4 Stop Hot Oil Rate to Stabilizer Reboiler of Train-A

Stop the hot oil feed flow to the Stabilizer Reboiler 10-210-HA-004A by closing 10-
210-FV-061 to remove the heat source from the system. The pressure and
temperature of the Stabilizer 10-210-VE-001A will decrease accordingly. Take care
that the Stabilizer doesn’t fall into the vacuum condition due to the sudden
condensing of overhead vapor.

7.2.2.5 Shutdown of One of Desalters (Change to Single Desalter in operation), if necessary (*)

Change the operation case from two Desalters in operation to single Desalter in
operation. Then, turn-off the electrical power supply to the isolated Condensate
Desalter. In this case, the fresh water make-up rate shall be increased to approximately
20m3/hr from normal make-up rate of 3 m3/hr. The details of shutdown procedure of

submitted by NATCO Japan. Regarding the open/close status of the valves around
Condensate Desalters, see Section 6.2.2.3.
Note: (*) This activity is required when the maintenance of one desalter is necessary
during the Train-A shutdown. Skip this procedure if the maintenance is not
necessary.

7.2.2.6 Settle the System of Train-A

The remaining condensate in the Inlet Separator shall be sent to the Condensate
Stabilizer through Condensate Desalter by the Desalter Feed Pump 10-210-PA-
001A until the liquid level falls to the low liquid level. Leave the Condensate
Stabilizer settle for a while to allow the remaining condensate on the trays to fall
down to the bottom. Then the remaining condensate in the stabilizer bottom section
is to be sent to the Rerun Drum until the level falls to the low liquid level.

7.2.2.7 Depressurize the System of Train-A

Depressurize the system of train-A by opening the BDVs to HP flare system after
the segregation of each system as follows:

10-210-BDV-011: from Inlet Separator 10-210-VA-001A


10-210-BDV-061: from Condensate Stabilizer 10-210-VE-001A

In case of the depressurization of train-B, the following BDVs are to be opened.

10-210-BDV-021: from Inlet Separator 10-210-VA-001B


10-210-BDV-071: from Condensate Stabilizer 10-210-VE-001B

7.2.2.8 Drain out from the System of Train-A

Drain out the remaining condensate and water in the equipment and piping of train-A
to the Common Facilities Sump Drum 10-550-VA-001.

7.6 Unit 310 - Gas Dehydration Unit

7.6.1 General

This section covers the normal shutdown procedure for the Gas Dehydration Unit
11/12-310.

The shutdown of the Unit would be required for the following reasons:

(1) Equipment Inspection

(2) Replacement of exhausted molecular sieves in all three Dryers

The above items would normally be carried out at the same time. However
unexpected carry-over of Amine solution from the Gas Sweetening Unit may require
the replacement of molecular sieve without the necessity of inspection for other
equipments.

The simultaneous shutdown of both trains (11-310 and 12-310) should be avoided in
normal shutdown to maintain 50% production of the Plant.

The Gas Sweetening Unit is in operation with 50% turndown feed capacity until the
regeneration of molecular sieves is finished.

7.6.2 Molecular Sieves Regeneration

Two of three molecular sieve beds shall be regenerated completely before shutdown
of the regeneration system. This will ensure that any heavy hydrocarbons and other
contaminants will be driven off the sieves before the Dryers are opened and that the
preparation work and time required for the next start-up of the Dryers can be
minimized.

However, one of three molecular sieve beds cannot be regenerated during shutdown
operation because the Dryer in adsorption cannot be regenerated simultaneously.
Therefore, the purge operation for hydrocarbon vapor and water adsorbed in
molecular sieves shall be done sufficiently by nitrogen gas blowing with 5.0 barG
pressure after depressurizing of the Dryer.

The dryer regeneration during shutdown operation is carried out in two Dryers, i.e.,
one is in adsorption and the other is in regeneration, and the remaining one is
isolated from the operation. This is achieved by the bed operation selector 11-310 –
HS-026.

In case that Dryer-A (11-310-VK-001A) is in adsorption and Dryer-B/C (11-310-VK-


001B/C) will be regenerated, the procedures are as below:

(1) Select the semi-auto mode of Regeneration Cycle Control Sequence 11-310-I7-
001 by 11-310-HS-023.

- 11-310-UV-041: Closed Position
- 11-310-UV-042: Open Position

(4) Start the sequence step by 11-310-HS-025 and Dryer-A goes to the adsorption
mode, while Dryer-B goes to the heating mode.

(5) The heating operation of Dryer-B will be switched to the cooling mode by
manual, when the regeneration gas temperature at top of Dryer, 11-310-TI-013,
is maintained at 260 deg.C for 10 minutes.

(6) Stop the sequence step by 11-310-HS-022 after 60 minutes of the cooling
period finished.

(7) Select the operated beds, Dryer-A and C, by 11-310-HS-026 and repeat the
above regeneration procedures from (3) to (6).

For regeneration of Dryer-C, the sequential valve open/close status in the


first step as below:

- 11-310-UV-011/013: Open Position


- 11-310-UV-012/014: Closed Position
- 11-310-UV-021/022/027/028: Closed Position
- 11-310-UV-024/030: Closed Position
- 11-310-UV-025/034: Open Position
- 11-310-UV-041: Closed Position
- 11-310-UV-042: Open Position

(8) When the cooling operation in Dryer-C is completed, shutdown the


Regeneration Gas Heater and stop the Regeneration Gas Compressor as per
Vendor’s operating manuals respectively.

(9) Stop fans of Regeneration Gas Cooler and Regeneration Gas Compressor
Cooler.

(10) At this stage the Gas Sweetening Unit should be shutdown and the natural gas
supply to the Gas Dehydration Unit isolated by closing 11-310-SDV-001A.

8. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

8.1 General

Emergency situation will occur unexpectedly and the best preparation is having a
through knowledge of the unit, an anticipation of the most probable problems and
their solution, and a complete familiarization with all normal procedures. Emergency
conditions are usually caused by equipment failure, utility failure, mal-operation and
fire.

If it is necessary to bring the unit off stream due to an emergency situation, the
procedures used for a normal shutdown should be followed as closely as practical.
The emergency shutdown system is provided to actuate the necessary valves for the
emergency situation. However, it is the operator’s responsibility to check that the
emergency shutdown system operates properly when an emergency is occurred.

In most emergencies, two phases of action are required. The first consists of the
immediate action necessary to cope with the situation to safeguard personnel,
equipment and various associated unit. The second consists of completing a full
emergency shutdown, reverting to a normal shutdown, or restoring normal operation.
The procedure following the first phase depends on the type of emergency, the time
available, the duration of emergency or the extent of the emergency.

There will be occasions when mechanical or localized utility failures bring about
shutdown of an individual pump or instrument. In such case, the shutdown may be of
a temporary nature and will not require complete shutdown of the unit, depending on
the duration of such localized failures.
However, in the event of a total utility failure, such as electric power, cooling water or
instrument air, it will be necessary to shutdown the unit completely.

Generally, emergency shutdown (ESD) is activated by the following initiation.

- Fire
ESD, which introduce total plant shutdown and consequent depressurization
operation, is activated automatically when fire is detected through the fire
detection system.

- Hand switch (i.e. Operator judgment)

For other specific ESD, see description of each unit.

8.2.3 Utility Failure

(1) Electric Power Failure

Upon total electric power failure, total plant shutdown will be required and the
shut down system 10-000-I2-001 should be activated.

Load shedding of motors occurs automatically after a short period power


interruption by the power generator trip (one of the running two power
generators). The basic philosophy of load shedding is to keep the train in safe
condition and minimize the effect of power disturbance by proceeding with a
smooth re-start. In this unit, there are no items to be shed during the load
shedding period.

(2) Instrument Air Failure

Instrument air failure results in a general, complete shutdown. Control valves


move to either closed or open position at air failure. Air failure position is
considered by an overall unit safety.

8.2.4 Local Shutdown (LSD) System

In addition to the ESD and PSD system, local shutdown system is provided for

Upon total electric power failure, total plant shutdown will be required and the
shut down system 10-000-I2-001 should be activated.

Load shedding of motors occurs automatically after a short period power


interruption by the power generator trip (one of the running two power
generators). The basic philosophy of load shedding is to keep the train in safe
condition and minimize the effect of power disturbance by proceeding with a
smooth re-start. In this unit, there are no items to be shed during the load
shedding period. The raw gas of one train from 10-300-VA-001 or 002 will be
sent to the flare header via PCV due to the shutdown of one gas train in the
load shedding period.

(2) Instrument Air Failure

Instrument air failure results in a general, complete shutdown. Control valves


move to either closed or open position at air failure. Air failure position is
considered by an overall unit safety.

8.5.4 Local Shutdown (LSD) System

In addition to the ESD and PSD system, local shutdown system is provided for
process upset conditions.

interruption by the power generator trip. The basic philosophy of load shedding
is to keep the train in safe condition and minimize the effect of power
disturbance by proceeding with a smooth re-start.

(2) Instrument Air Failure

Instrument air failure results in a general, complete shutdown. Control valves


move to either closed or wide-open position on the rack of air pressure. Air
failure position is considered by an overall unit safety.

8.9.4 Local shutdown (LSD) system

In addition to the ESD and PSD system, local shutdown system is provided for
process upset conditions.
Refer to the following document about the detailed LSD actions:

J-53-D-O-8001-00 “Cause and Effect Diagram WAFA Plant Process unit”

LSD 11/12-340-I5-01 to 14 are provided for process interlock of the Dew Point
Control Unit 11/12-340.

8.10.4 Utility Failure

(1) Electric Power Failure

Upon total electric power failure, total plant shutdown will be required and the
shut down system 10-000-I2-001 should be activated.

Load shedding of motors occurs automatically after a short period power


interruption by the power generator trip (one of the running two power
generators). The basic philosophy of load shedding is to keep the train in safe
condition and minimize the effect of power disturbance by proceeding with a
smooth re-start. In this unit, there are no items to be shed during the load
shedding period.

(2) Instrument Air Failure

Instrument air failure results in a general, complete shutdown. Control valves


move to either closed or wide open position on the rack of air pressure. Air
failure position is considered by an overall unit safety.

(3) MP Fuel Gas Failure

If Mp fuel gas supply failure is occurred, gas turbine will unload and reduce the

8.11.4 Utility Failure

(1) Electric Power Failure

Upon total electric power failure, total plant shutdown will be required and the
shut down system 10-000-I2-001 should be activated.

Load shedding of motors occurs automatically after a short period power


interruption by the power generator trip.(one of the running two power
generators) The basic philosophy of load shedding is to keep the train in safe
condition and minimize the effect of power disturbance by proceeding with a
smooth re-start. In this unit, there are no items to be shed during the load
shedding period.

(2) Instrument Air Failure

Instrument air failure results in a general, complete shutdown. Control valves


move to either closed or wide open position on the rack of air pressure. Air
failure position is considered by an overall unit safety.
(3) MP Fuel Gas Failure

If Mp fuel gas supply failure is occurred, gas turbine will unload and reduce the
speed. Finally flame out or low-low fuel gas supply pressure will initiate
shutdown, I9-002, of the gas turbine.

10. PERIODIC CONTROLS

10.1 Controls on Corrosion Tests

Corrosion coupons, corrosion probes and corrosion spools will be used for monitoring
corrosion rates for Wafa Plant.

Coupon monitoring can be a very reliable corrosion monitoring technique provided it is


not wrongly interpreted. And coupons can produce almost any kind of information
required of the corrosion process, except wall thickness and current condition of system
pipe work.

It is recommended to give corrosion coupons at least a month of exposure in an oil field


and/or process plant, to provide the best quality of information.

Corrosion probes measure corrosion rate as an increase in electrical resistance over


time for a steel element in the probe face. This increase in electrical resistance is
proportional to the accumulated corrosion for the period exposed. And it can be
available with different sensing elements depending on required sensitivity and lifetime.

Corrosion spools provide for measuring wall thickness of system pipe works. The
measurement will be rarely provided, because of necessity of process shut down. But it
may be useful for monitoring current condition of system pipe works.

Corrosion tests shall be executed as the following each period,

Corrosion Probes 1 / month 1/ 3 months
Corrosion Coupons 1 / month 1/ 6 months
