• Remove all sludge, deposits inside the tanks.

(MRU)
Positive isolation of incoming and outgoing pipelines to tank should be done.

When closed piping systems are parted for replacing valves, servicing pump replacing
sections of lines etc this is called "Opening Lines. The following rules must be followed while
performing such work:
a. Familiarize with the piping system to be worked on.
b. Check all valves are properly positioned. All drain valves should be opened.
c. Pump shall be electrically isolated.
d. Although the previous steps have been taken, the job should be performed
as though the line is full and under pressure.
• A sloping line may have a plug, a valve and another plug. Open the valve to drain
the line, but it could still be full between the plugs.
• A horizontal line may have sag or dip in it. Open the line-up and blow it out, but
there could still be acid or other material where the line is sagging, if that section of
the line is taken out and tilted, the material will run out.
• If a line is plugged, it may be from corrosion, which can produce gas under pressure.
• The area around the possible spray release of material should be roped off.
• Use PPE such as Protective suit, Face shield, PVC gloves, etc.
• Since opening a flange is the most common procedure used to open a line, the
procedure to follow is:
a. If the flange is horizontal, you want any sprays to be away from you. If it is
vertical a spray should be downward, these are the edges of the flanges
that should be opened first.
b. Keep the bolts near, you tight, and slowly open the ones away from you. A
quarter of a turn at a time is not too little.
c. If the flange stays tight, start a wedge between the flanges on the side where
the bolts were loosened.
d. When you are sure the flange is open and that any drip is over, remove the
rest of the bolts and nuts.
• Lines taken out or brought to the shop can also be hazardous. Further handling or
dismantling in the shop could release material. The only fitting or section of line that
is safe is one that has been blowout, washed out and looked through and tested.
• After a section of line has been removed the remaining open flanges should be
blinded.
• Always follow the LTHE confined space procedure.

documents
• Direction of flow and correctness of installation
• Locking facility
• Setting of the limit switches wherever provided
• Operation of the hand wheel and stem movement
• Checks for the actuator as described later Valves - Butterfly type
Butterfly valves are used in certain applications. The general checks are similar for other
valves. The additional points to be checked are as given in the manufacturers manuals Valves
- Safety valves, SRVs Safety relief valves are used in certain locations for protecting the
system against over pressurization.
The general checks are similar for other valves. The additional points to be checked are as
follows.
documents
• Correctness of installation
• Connection of the relief discharge line to suitable point
• Check for operation by pressurizing the system
All the valves in the system are commissioned as per the above procedure and the standard
checklist attached shall be used for commissioning.
9.9 Checking Of Pumps and Motors Pumps
This checks and establishes each installation in conformity with the P& IDs and layout
drawings, checks for mechanical and electrical completeness and readiness for starting and
any special cares as per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
documents

(MRU)
• Ensure safe access for commissioning

• Ensure external cleanliness of the pumps.
• Ensure all components, bolts fixings, etc., are secure;
• Proper bearings lubrication and rotating parts are free in its bearings
• Motor checked and rotation proved to applicable standard check list
• Ensure coupling alignment is adequate
• Glands or mechanical seals correctly fitted and ensure no leakage from
mechanical seal.
• Motor and pump coupled and if applicable coupling greased
• Prime pump, check for any leaks and adjust packing glands where appropriate.
• Calibrated pressure gauge at discharge end
• Double earthing and ensure guards are in place.
• On-off valve / control valve at both the end (Suction & Discharge)
• Provision of Earthing jumpers at pump & pipeline joints
• Check that all normally open isolating and regulating valves are fully open and that
all normally closed valves are closed. In the case of thermostatic valves it is essential
that provision for fully opening the valves is available. Most Electric motorized valves
have either provision for manual override of normal control using a switch on the
main control box or a facility to position the valve seat mechanically.
• Open all control valves to full flow to heat exchangers or branch circuits.
• Fully open the return and close the flow valve on the pump, close valves on
standby pump. Closing the flow valve on the duty pump will limit the initial start
current, which is usually excessive the first time a pump is run due to bearing
stiffness.
All the pumps in the system are commissioned as per the above procedure and the
standard checklist attached shall be used for commissioning.
Checking of Motors
The checks establishes each installation for mechanical and electrical completeness and
readiness for starting and any special cares as per the manufacturers recommendations if
any.

(MRU)
Prior to start:
All the motors shall be tested under no load condition for its smooth functioning prior to
those following checks shall be carried out
• Double Earthing
• Secured with foundation.
• Authorized and trained person is on the job.
• Ensure the insulation rating comply
• Marking on the switches for "ON" & "OFF", Emergency Shutdown.
• Communication system is in place
• Barricading of area with sign boards.
• Covered with guard Checks during Initial start
On activating the motor starter, check:
• Maintain proper isolation - desolation methodology (isolation- de- isolation
certificate is advisable)
• The direction and speed of rotation of the motor shaft are correct; if wrong
immediately switch off the motor.
• The motor, pump and drive are free from vibration and undue noise;
• The motor running current on all phases to ensure that they are balanced between
phases. The flow valve can be opened at this point to raise the running current to
say 50% of the nameplate full load current;
• No sparking at commutator or slip rings and no over-heating of motor.
• That there is no seepage of lubricant from Housing;
• Cooling of bearings is sufficient;
• A light load run shall be sustained until the commissioning engineer is satisfied
from motor insulation test readings that further load may be applied. Repetitive
starting of the motor should be avoided to prevent over-stressing of fuses,
switch gear and motor.
• Gradually open the discharge valve until the motor current reaches either the
design value or the motor full load current, whichever is the lower.
• Check the pump pressure developed by means of the pump gauges against the
design pressure. If excessive pressure is developed at this stage, the cause should be
investigated.
• Adjust the discharge valve so that the flow as determined roughly from the
pump characteristic is between 100 and 110 per cent of the design value.

(MRU)
Running-in period
• The pump should be run-in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations
and should be under fairly continuous observation.
• It should not be left running outside normal working hours unless attended.
During this period, check that the temperature of the bearings and the motor remain
steady that no noise or vibrations develop and that no bolts or fixings work loose.
• During the first part of the running period:
a. Vent all high points from time to time. If possible the medium should be
heated to maximum permissible levels at his stage to assist in removing
air from the heating system.
a) Adjust the gland nuts of the pump glands to give the correct drip rate.
(Not applicable to mechanical seals). After 8 hours running, check all
strainers. If these are clean, regulation can commence. If they are dirty,
clean the strainers and run again for at- least 8 hours and then re-
check.
Checking the Protection and interlocks
The protection and interlocks of the system is done by simulating each protection and alarm
in the field and checking out the relevant interlock acts.
9.10 Electrical checks
Prior to the initial running of any electrically driven pump, valve or electric space heater, the
following procedure should be adopted:
With all Electrical supplies isolated check
• There are no un-shrouded live components within the panels;
• The panels and switch gear are clean;
• The motor and surrounding areas are clean and dry
• The transit packing has been removed from contractors and other equipment.
• The testing of the switch gear shall be completed and that their thermostats
are of a suitable range to operate at ambient temperature;
• That all mechanical checks on the pump and motor or valve are complete;
• All the connections are tight on bus-bars and wiring;
• All the power and control wring has been completed in details to the circuit
diagram (paying special attention to circuits for star-delta connected or
specially wound motors) and the loop check for the instrumentation system
shall be completed and approved
• The starter overloads are set correctly in relation to motor nameplate full load
current;
• Insulation tests on motor are satisfactory(check manufacturer’s certificates)͖

(MRU)
• Adjustable thermal cut-outs are set correctly(check manufacturer’s certificates);

• All cover plates fitted.
With the Electrical supply available, check
• Declared voltage is available on all supply phases;
• Where small motors have direct-on-line starting and simple control circuits, the
starter operation, etc. shall be checked when first starting the motor.
• Never energize electric valve motors until the mechanical checks have been
completed.
• Where motor powers are substantial or reduced voltage starting or complex
interlocks are involved, the control circuit logic and the starter operation shall
be tested before the motor is rotated. The supply shall first be isolated by the
withdrawal of two power fuses not associated with the control circuit or the
disconnection of cables. The control circuit fuse must be checked to ensure that
it is rated to give the correct discriminatory protection to the control circuit
cables. The control circuit shall be activated and starter operation observed.
Adjust timers. Check for clean operation of all contractors, relays and interlocks.
Finally open isolators, reinstate power connections and close isolators;
9.11 Unplugging of Lines

A plug in a line is adhering to the inner surface of the pipe. These plugs develop from some
mechanical failure and also from polymerization / or salting / congealing. Tracing or
Jacketing in a line is great help in melting out of a plug. But when line is opened, the heat
applied can cause pressure to build up and hot or corrosive material to spray out on to
anything in its path. The following are the rules to be followed when performing such a job:
The job of clearing a line should be pre-planned.
• The procedure outlined shall be to first try to clear the line by applying a
solvent directly in to the closed line. Normally this is done with steam or water
applied to permanent connection of hose and shall be drained from lowest
draining point.
• The most effective means of cleaning in this manner is to pressurize this line &
then drain, repeating this process frequently. This cyclic process helps to clear
the clog. It also drains the solution from the area of the plug facilitating
unplugging.
• Heat should be applied to the outside of the line if it is possible, this can be in
the form of steam tracing or steam applied safely from the open hose.
• If the plug does not respond to the above cleaning procedure, probably it will
be necessary to dismantle the line.
• The line must be depressurized.
• All tracing and jacketing should be shut off and the line allowed to cool.

(MRU)
• Use PPE such as Protective suit, Face shield over the helmet and glasses (if a full
cover one piece suit is available the same should be used), PVC suit and gloves
when parting a line.
• If the cleaning can be carried out by attaching valves and hoses and in a closed
manner the same should be attempted.
• For de-choking of column and in case of partial choking of heat exchanger
tubes: In process like ACN, suction/discharge lines 2" caustic connections are
provided which are normally kept blinded. In case choking problem is
experienced, a particular type of operation is isolated / by-passed as per the
procedures laid down, then the column drained / flushed out to toxic sewer.
Caustic connection can be made by hose connecting a loop circulation and
established for a period of time till choking is removed. Than the contents can
be drained out in to proper sewer and flushing with water carried out. This is
normally used in case of polymerized material or fouling material which are
responsible for plugging of process equipment. Before doing this, de-
contamination of system, lines shall be done with proper chemical solution.
Heat Exchangers tube cleaning:
In case of fouling / choking of the tubes of heat exchangers, following is procedure for caustic
cleaning:
• Isolate the fouled/choked exchanger.
• Depressurize drain and flush the exchanger.
• Dismantle the exchanger tube bundles using PPEs
• Carefully put the exchanger tube bundle in caustic cleaning tank and start
heating the caustic by stream coils to 80° - 90°c. Keep the exchanger bundles
soaked for overnight preferable 24 hours.
• Remove the exchanger carefully after caustic has cooled down. Use all safety
precautions as far as handling non alkalis is concerned.
• Flush heat exchanger tubes bundles with large quantities of water, till the
entire caustic is washed out.
9.12 Fire Fighting System
• After mechanical completion of firefighting pipeline system, safety check shall
be carried out prior to start water flushing operation.
• Safety Checks shall be carried out as per enclosed before commencing Hydro
test followed by water flushing operation.
• Installation of hose boxes and portable fire extinguishers shall be completed as
per the design layout before commissioning activities started
