1. Fuel Gas System

1.1 General
Yanbu Power and Desalination Plant Phase 3 is located near Yanbu Phase 1
and Yanbu Phase 2 Plants which have been in operation for years. Yanbu
Phase 3 is composed of 5 Steam Generators (SG), connected to 1 Steam
Turbine (ST) each and other associated (BOP) systems to produce
electricity and steam for the (thermal) Desalination Plant located adjacent to
the power plant. All 5 Steam Generators are constructed, and the remaining
commissioning and testing activities are in progress. At the beginning of the
project the steam generators had been designed to fire heavy fuel oil as main
fuel and later on the design was modified by adding dual fuel firing
capability with Natural Gas (NG) as alternative fuel. The HFO handling
system has mostly been completed. The current contract of SEPCO III
includes the NG supply system from 10 m before the individual boiler
buildings on. The pipe racks for the new gas pipelines from the Gas
Regulation Station (GRS) to the boilers are already built or will be built by
the present EPC contractor. See Volume XI, Annex PG-C0-7.

For the existing Yanbu Plant, Saline Water Conversion Corporation

(SWCC) is the Owner, Shandong Electric Power Engineering Construction
Co. Ltd (SEPCO III) is the EPC Contractor and Fichtner GmbH & Co. KG
(Fichtner) is the consultant engineering company on behalf of the Owner of
the project (Owner’s Engineer = OE).

This specification covers the design, manufacturing, testing, supply,

transport, erection, commissioning and handing over of the fuel gas system
including the gas regulation station (GRS) associated with all required
subsystems and equipment as described by the prevailing Reference Tender
Documents listed in chapter 1.4 and by the Annexes and Drawings in
Volume XI, Annexes PG-C0 and PG-C1, not excluding other necessary
components and services not mentioned herein. All Reference Documents
and Annexes listed in this specification are parts of this specification.

In respect of the commercial conditions, Volume I and II Parts P-A0 and

P-A1 (including all sub-parts and relevant Annexes) are valid for this
Tender. The contractual hierarchy in the order of priority of the documents
is as follows:

1. Fuel Gas System specification (descriptions herein including

Annexes in Volume XI), including the Price schedule (Volume III,
Section A2.2) which has to be filled out by the bidder with the
prices and reasonable Milestone stages with Milestone dates and
payments (e.g. 50%, 90%, 100% finishing of the section/item);

Requirements;

It is to be emphasized that this specification does not enumerate or describe

all the materials and equipment to be supplied and all the services to be
performed. However, the fuel gas regulation system shall be complete in
every respect and shall ensure safe and reliable operation of the Plant. This
means, all material and equipment shall be provided as required to make a
complete, properly functioning installation.

This specification only includes the SWCC Gas Regulation Station (GRS).
In the GRS, NG pressure reduction shall be performed via a one-stage
pressure regulator station if possible, otherwise by two successive stages,
whichever is both more reliable in terms of operation and of safety, in
compliance with local and international standards. After the NG is
conditioned in compliance with pressure, temperature and other design
requirements, it shall be fed to each Steam Generator (SG) through an
individual pipeline, which are to be laid in the existing or planned pipe racks
R10 and R1 (see annexes PG-C0-7 to PG-C0-9 in Volume XI). The loads
and forces on the pipe racks have to be reexamined and the structural
analyses of the previous planner has to be confirmed.

The number of stages and streams for the gas regulation station and feeding
pipelines to the steam generators may be evaluated and selected by the
Contractor based on his economical concept and availability considerations
for the Plant. Should more streams or stations be offered, then the
Contractor shall explain the reasons for his selection and the measures
planned to reach higher availability of the Plant regarding redundancy,
maintenance concept, spare parts holding, etc. For the tendering stage, the
Basic Flow Diagram of the NG supply system is given in Volume XI,
Annex PG-C0-3 as a guideline.

1.3.7 Final gas filters

Upstream of the fuel gas skid of each steam generator, a final filter device, a
final metering device and a final high speed shut-off valve shall be supplied
if required.

So far, the boiler supplier (GE) does not require any such devices in
addition to what he has planned in his own scope.

The duplex final gas filters - if needed - shall be provided to remove

corrosion products from the system as well as any moisture entrained in the
event of damage to the gas heater.

1.3.8 Pipework and valves

All pipe work and valves shall comply with the requirements specified
herein and the relevant reference contractual documents listed in chapter 1.4
and other sections of this RFP package.

All gas pipes shall be designed, constructed and tested in accordance with
local regulations and international standards for Gas Transmission and
Distribution Piping System.

A flexibility analysis shall be performed if required for all gas pipelines

with a high operating pressure or high operating flow rate.

All butt welds of the fuel gas supply system shall be subject to 100%
radiography test and all other welds shall be subject to 100% non-
destructive testing.

All pipe work shall be tested hydraulically according to international

regulations and standards. After the hydraulic test, a leak test with air or
nitrogen shall be performed.

The hydrostatic test of the pipe work shall be carried out with skids isolated
from the pipe work. Skids shall be tested separately before installation and
connection to pipe work.
