They shall only collect raw waste from toilet facilities, lavatories, showers and floor drains in rest, wash and locker rooms. There shall be no interconnection between the sanitary and industrial sewer system unless approved in writing by the Owner's Engineer. 3.1.1 If facilities for the treatment of raw sanitary waste in bulk are not available in a plant or municipal sewer system, sanitary sewers shall discharge into septic tanks. Approval shall be obtained from the local health authorities for the septic tank system by the contractor. 3.2 Industrial sewers collect normal oily or non oily waste water, chemical waste water, storm water or CC” firewater for delivery to appropriate waste treatment facilities. The sewers are classified as follows: a) Chemical sewer. b) Contaminated water sewer. ©) Once through water sewer. 4) Surface run-off sewer. 3.2.1 Chemical sewers shall carry only waste chemicals where their concentration, quantity and/or activity is such that they must be treated before being discharged into the contaminated water sewer. The following sources may be considered as chemical: a) Phenols. By Aca ©) Causties. 4d) Oils contaminated with chemicals. ©) Effluent from chemical cleaning operations. 3.2.2 Contaminated water sewers shall carry oily process water low in sulfides COD and BOD. The effluent shall be collected in an oil separator prior to water treatment. 3.2.3 The following sources may be considered as contaminated water run-offs. a) Barometic condensers and steam ejectors where the condensate may be contaminated with ubricating oil or condensed hydrocarbons. b) Effluent from the surface of box type coolers or condensers, ©) Drains and water drawoff devices on equipment and tanks, 4) Drains and pump glands and the cylinders and glands of reciprocating pumps. ©) Drains trom sample points. £) Floor drains from analyzer housings. 8) Skimmings from cooling towers. 1h) Water drawoff from atmospheric storage and other special tankage. ji) Surface run off from areas normally subject to oil contamination. 3.2.4 Once through water sewers shall carry cooling return water to be treated in a clean water separator prior to discharge to the receiving water body, 3.2.5 The following sources may be considered as once through water: a) Effluent from coolers and condensers irrespective of the relative pressures of the water and product sides. 'b) Water from box type coolers and condensers where the water drawoff is below the water surface and any oil on the surface can be run-off to the contaminated water sewer. ©) Condensate from steam traps where the condensate is not contaminated with lubricating oil or other hydrocarbons, 4) Effluent from drinking fountains and emergency showers.BASIC PRACTICE | IMPERIAL Bp 3-2-1 ‘SEWER SYSTEMS REV 7 JUNE ‘88, PAGE 3 OF 19 | 3.2.6 ‘Surface run-off sewers shall carry storm and firewater to a Separator from areas normally not subject to oil contamination, Steam turbine condensate, boilerplant blowdown, cooling house blowdown and tank lots are usually discharged into this system.

The pilot-operated type PR valve is permitted only for clean services and its use shall be approved by the Owner's Engineer 4.1.1 The standard direct spring acting relief valve shall normally be used. 4.1.2 The bellows direct spring acting valve or the pilot operated type shall be used for the following conditions: ‘a. Where the valve is subjected toa back pressure greater than 10% of the set pressure, b. Where the back pressure is not constant and the range of variation may have an adverse ettect on the valve ‘operation. 4.1.3. The bellows type valve shall be used where necessary to protect the spring from corrosive or fouling material 4.1.4 The pilot operated type valve shall be limited to a maximum temperature of 450°F (232°O) and services which are rnor-fouling or have a gravity of 408API or higher. Pilot safety valves must be protected from freezing, ‘4.1.5 Installation of balanced area bellows and pilot operated safety vaives shall be approved by Owner's Engineer. VALVE SIZING © "42 Rupture discs (RO) may be used in conjunction with or as a substitute for PR valves only with the approval of the (Owner's Engineer. Acceptable types of RD's are: pre-scored conventional (forward acting) for both liquid and gas service; pre-scored reverse buckling for gas only service. The manufacturing range for all R's shall be the lowest available from the manufacturer, preferably zero. The full amount of the manufacturing range shall be applied below the design pressure of the equipment. Use of other types of AD's with larger manufacturing ranges shall be approved by the Owner's Engineer. © 49 The minimum size of pressure and thermal relief valves shall be NPS 3/4. 44 Deleted, “4.4.1 a.

Credit shall be taken for the following insulation systems on steal vessels which are covered by galvanized or stainless steel jacket: 1. Cellular glass, rock cork, and high temperature mineral fibers. 2. All types of hot insulation. '. Credit can be taken for insulation systems on equipment constructed from low melting point material, such as aluminum, ©. Credit shall be allowed for plastic foam, ¢.g. polyurethane and similar types of materials, which melt or ‘decompose under fire exposure conditions if covered with materials such as high temperature mineral wool, and protected with a galvanized steel or stainless steo! jacket. Plastic foam insulation shall have a flame spread rating of 25 or less per ASTM E-84 and be approved by the Owner's Engineer. The covering shall prevent the plastic foam from decomposing or melting when the insulation system is exposed to a temperatura of 1000°F (640°C) for one hour.
