Re: WWTF Chemical Dosing Unit Modifications

Dear Anjay,

In reference to your email and our discussions on the modifications to the WWTF dosing skid that
would facilitate the treatment of wastewater from two separate sources, I propose the following
modifications, which are outlined in the sections below.

GE Infrastructure Water and Process Technologies wishes to thank you for this opportunity and hope
that we would continue to provide you with a cost effective and value added level of service that would
ensure the increased efficiency and reliability of your operations.

Any queries or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.

IAF CHEMICAL DOSING UNITS (Existing Design)

The existing design of the West area IAF’s dosing unit allows for chemical injection of a
constant feed flow of 550 gpm from the pump suction pit of the oil stocks main sump. Two
independent dosing skids feed chemical on the inlet line to the skim tank and on the line
outlet the skim tank and inlet the IAF unit. Each skid comprises 2 Neptune dosing pumps
(2gph) sourcing chemical feed from a 100 gallon Neptune batch tank. The tanks are
equipped with level controllers that send signals to automatically shut off the pumps when the
chemical level runs low. The chemical feed rate is adjusted manually based on chemical
drawdown from the drawdown cylinders.

The unit was initially designed to incorporate injection of two chemicals:


1. Reverse Demulsifier – Fed on the inlet line to the skim tank and IAF inlet.
2. Flotation Aid – Fed on the line exit the skim tank and into the IAF unit.

The pumps are designed for manual operation only i.e. the speed and stroke needs to be
manually adjusted to achieve the desired feed rate. There is also the absence of flow
measurement on the feed line to the skim tank.

IAF CHEMICAL DOSING UNITS (New Design)

The new design will incorporate two feed sources:

1. New Oil Stocks Main Sump (OSMS) - Water from pump suction pit will be pumped to
existing skim tank T-8651 based on level control. This would be same as above
except the sump would be rehabilitated. Provision will be made for the measurement
of flow in the transfer line between the pumps’ discharge header and the skim tank.

Trevose, PA 19053-6783 Cell: 868-735-9389 email: mikhail.lochan@ge.com
2. New API separator in the
Refinery’s South Area – Water from the new API separator will be pumped to the new
skim tank T-8653 that will be constructed at the WWTF. The flow to T-8653 will also be
measured.

The flow into (and therefore out of) T-8653 will be throttled via control valve action, according
to the measured flow to T-8651, to ensure a combined flow from both skim tanks of no
greater than 550 gpm to the downstream IAF unit. 550 gpm corresponds to the rated capacity
of the IAF.

The flow signals generated from flow measurement of flows to both skim tanks would be
used to control the rate of chemical injection to T-8653 and T-8651. The signals would be fed
to two new chemical injection pumps capable of automatic variable control. A third pump will
be placed as a spare to facilitate chemical feed in the event of a pump failure to any of the
skim tanks. This pump would be manually switched.

The sum of the flows to both skim tanks (equivalent to the combined flow from both tanks to
the IAF) will be used to control the rate of chemical injection to the inlet of the IAF unit. The
sum of flow signals to both skim tanks would be fed to two pumps capable of automatic
variable control. At any given time one pump would be in operation while the other redundant
acting as a spare.

The new design would allow for the injection of one chemical only that is capable of reverse
demulsifying and flotation aid properties. This chemical would be injected on the inlet lines to
each skim tank (T-8653 and T8651) and on the feed line ex skim tanks to IAF unit.

IAF CHEMICAL DOSING UNITS
(Modifications)

Chemical

A single chemical Embreak NVS41 would be used to facilitate both reverse demulsifying and
flotation aid. This polymer product blend is a water-soluble emulsion breaker specially
formulated to resolve water continuous emulsions in crude oil. This product coalesces oil in
the water phase allowing it to rise back into the pure oil phase allowing removal via skimming
and induced air flotation. As a result Embreak improves the IAF performance by deoiling the
effluent. The product would be continuously fed from a 2% solution blend (2 gal chemical to
100 gals water) via automated variable control based on flow signals to three points:

1. Inlet line to skim tank T-8651 (based on flow signal from flowmeter)
2. Inlet line to skim tank T-8653 (based on flow signal from flowmeter)
3. Common inlet to IAF ex skim tanks (based on sum of both signals from T8651/T8653)

Chemical VAT

At present there are two 100 gal polymer VATS for storage of the Embreak NVS41 chemical.
Each Vat is presently located on each of the existing dosing skids (PU-8652 and PU-8651
respectively). A single stainless steel semi bulk tank of capacity 350 gal would replace the
existing tankage (2 100 gal VATS) and be used to contain the Embreak NVS41 chemical.
This tank would be located at a convenient position adjacent the dosing skid and serve as
chemical source for the three dosing pumps.

The 350 gal tank would be supplied by GE W&PT and installed by Petrotrin.

IAF dosing skid PU-8652 and pumps P-8671 A/B:

The dosing skid PU-8652 would be used to dose Embreak NVS41 inlet the IAF unit. Neptune
pumps P-8671 A/B lack automated variable control features. They would be replaced with
two Prominent Delta Series SST 0450 pumps capable of automated variable control. One of
these pumps would serve as a spare. The pumps would be rated for a flow of 50 l/h at a
maximum pressure of 4 bars. These pumps would take a 4-20ma signal from the sum of the
individual flow signals from T8651 and T8653 (from multi loop controller – proposed by
Petrotrin) to variably dose chemical to IAF based on flow. The 4-20 ma signal would initiate
the pump to speed up/slow down in increments proportional to flow, or stop at no flow.

These two pumps would source chemical from the 350 gal stainless steel tank stated above.

IAF dosing skid PU-8651 and pumps P-8670 A/B:

The IAF dosing skid PU-8651 would be used to dose chemical inlet feed line to tank T-8651
and new tank T-8653. The existing Neptune Pumps P-8670 A/B dosing inlet line T-8651 lack
automated variable feed control. They would be replaced with two Prominent Delta series
SST 0450 pumps capable of automated variable control. The pumps would be rated for a
flow of 50 l/h at a maximum pressure of 4 bars. One of the pumps would take a 4-20ma
signal from the flow transmitter off the source line to skim tank T8651. The 4-20 ma signal
would initiate the pump to speed up/slow down in increments proportional to flow, or stop at
no flow. One of the pumps would be in operation for skim tank T8651 with the redundant
pump serving as a spare.

Another prominent pump would be installed on the skid, in the area where the 100 gal
Neptune tank was removed, to dose the feed line inlet the new tank T-8653. This pump
would be a Prominent Delta series SST 0450 pump with rated capacity of 50 l/h at a
maximum pressure of 4 bars, capable of automated variable control.

This pump would take a 4-20ma
signal from the flow transmitter off the source line to skim tank T8653. The 4-20 ma signal
would initiate the pump to speed up/slow down in increments proportional to flow, or stop at
no flow.

The prominent SST 0450 spare stated above for skim tank T-8651 would also serve as a
spare for this dosing application. However, the pump would have to be manually switched
and lined up since it would be serving as a spare for both tanks T8651 and T8653.

These three pumps would source chemical from the 350 gal stainless steel tank stated
above.

Prominent Delta Series SST pumps

The innovative optoDrive® technology offers all the advantages in one drive: maximum
dosing quality, process reliability and economy.

Advantage 1: maximum dosing quality


 Continuous or pulsating dosing, according to the application
 The duration of the suction stroke can be matched to the dosing medium. A slow
suction stroke prevents incomplete filling of the dosing head with high-viscosity fluids
and prevents cavitation with effervescent media. This prevents incorrect quantities
being dosed
 optoDrive® automatically compensates for fluctuations in back pressure in the dosing
line. As a result, a level of dosing accuracy is achieved that could otherwise only be
attained with complex control loops.

Trevose, PA 19053-6783 Cell: 868-735-9389 email: mikhail.lochan@ge.com
Advantage 2: maximum process reliability
 The drive’s integrated injection control - optoGuard - ensures that the required dosing
quantity actually reaches the process
 optoGuard detects blocked dosing points or broken dosing lines. This protects the
environment from damage resulting from continuous dosing with a broken line
 Air or gas trapped in the dosing head (“air-lock”) are also detected. Thus preventing
incorrect quantities being dosed

Advantage 3: maximum economy


 optoDrive® reduces the procurement costs of dosing systems as there is no need for
separate flow monitors, relief valve assemblies and pulsation dampeners
 The optoDrive® drive is overload-proof on principle. A very low number of moving
parts ensures practically wear-free operation
 The wide field of application of the optoDrive® drive reduces product diversity and so
reduces the variety of spares for plant operation

The Delta series has the following features:


 Adjustment and display of the feed rate from the keypad with choice of display in l/h or
strokes/min
 Large backlit graphic display
 Diverse control options via volt-free contacts and
 0/4-20 mA standard signal
 Optional interfaces for PROFIBUS® or CAN bus
 14-day process timer option for time and eventdependent dosing duties
 Stainless steel for applications in the chemical and chemical-pharmaceutical industry,
e.g. for organic solvents
