2.0 TEST RUN PROCEDURE
After the mechanical operation has been checked, adjustments may be made in operating variables to
obtain the optimum performance.

It is extremely important to maintain a consistent normal feed condition for any period of time during
optimization and testing of the plant. The flow rate and composition of the feed must be constant.
Variations in feed conditions may invalidate conclusions drawn from test data. Abnormal conditions
must be avoided.

Provisions must be made for running BS&W and salt content tests on the treated crude oil, plus oil in
the effluent water. These facilities may be portable or temporary, but they must be available during
system testing.

Sending samples to a remote laboratory will delay reporting of results and increase the length of time
needed to optimize the operation.

Confirm that levels, temperatures, pressures, flow rates and other operating variables are at the
recommended initial set points and record all the following information.

2.1 Performance Guarantee

When properly maintained and operated under the Case-1 & Case-2 of design basis specified in
Section.2, the equipment proposed during the performance test, meet the following performance
guarantee:

Table 2.1 Performance Guarantee Details for Bilectric Desalter

Performance Parameter Unit Value Test Method

Outlet BS&W % Vol 0.2 ASTM-D4007

Outlet Salt PTB salt 0.5 ASTM-D6470
Outlet Oil in Water ppm 100 ASTM-D3921
2.2 Testing Period and Method

The test run shall be conducted for a period of not less than 72 (seventy-two) consecutive hours. If the
average performance of the Unit over the 24-hour period meets the performance warranty, the
performance test shall be deemed to be satisfactorily completed.

Prior to the test run, the Equipment shall have been in stable operation at mutually agreed start-of-test
conditions for a period of at least twenty-four (72) hours.

If the Unit is shut down during the performance test run for any reason other than Cameron’s design of
the Unit, that portion of the performance test completed prior to the interruption of the operation shall
be computed or averaged as a part of the test period. Moreover, if the supply of materials, utilities, or
services is interrupted during the performance test, that portion of the performance test completed prior
to the interruption of the operation shall be counted and averaged as a part of the test period.

It is mutually recognized that exact duplication of design data with operational data is improbable under
test conditions. Operating data obtained during test conditions may serve, therefore, as the basis for
process calculations using the same factors and methods employed in the original design by Cameron.
The results obtained in these calculations shall be translated to those which would have been obtained
if test conditions had duplicated design conditions, and thus the ability of the unit to perform satisfactorily
under design conditions determined.

During the Performance Test, operational data shall be recorded to include inlet flow rates, inlet
temperatures, inlet pressures and both inlet and outlet concentrations. The data is necessary for
evaluation purposes by Cameron should the Performance Test fail.

After completion of a successful Performance Test, the Purchaser will issue a written notice of
acceptance within fifteen (15) days.
3.0 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
The frequency of analyzing treated samples of crude oil for water and salt content is, of course, at the
option of the Owner. Once personnel are trained and the operation of the plant is stabilized, routine
sampling may be reduced to once a day.

Proper sampling procedures are essential if the results of the analyses are to be representative of the
process, and since very small concentrations of impurities must be determined in a salt analysis, it is
urged that special attention be given to the following:

The method of collecting and handling the samples is extremely important if accurate and repeatable
results are expected.

Very small concentrations of impurities must be determined in a salt analysis; therefore, it is urged that
special attention be given to the following:

1. The sample system should be arranged to eliminate as far as possible any trap or pocket
where phase separation may occur.
2. Sample containers must be clean and dry.
3. Sample lines should be a short and as small a diameter as practical.
4. Sample lines particularly for the desalted crude oil must be thoroughly purging with steam
before taking each sample.
5. Samples should be taken from the center of flowing lines through a quill or similar.
6. A separate sample cooler should be used for desalted crude oil samples. Where a common
sample cooler is used for other sampling streams, contamination of the desalted crude oil
sample is possible.
7. Sample containers must be carefully labelled with the contents, the time taken, the analysis
required, etc., before sending to the laboratory.
8. Samples should be taken at approximately the same time each day, preferably early morning,
so that adjustments can be made during the day if they are required.

The most repeatable results may be obtained by collecting the samples directly into a clean centrifuge
tube, beaker, or flask in which the test is to be run. If this is not possible, then the samples should be
caught in a clean container and transported immediately. At the laboratory, the sample container must
be shaken vigorously, and samples poured out and tested immediately.
 The plant is designed to run continuously and efficiently with a minimum of operator attention during
normal operation. However, it is recommended that samples be taken and analyzed with sufficient
frequency to ensure good control during the abnormal operating period. For example, when the plant
operation is out of the ordinary, such as a significant change in the crude oil flow rate, the operating
temperature, or other setting in the established operation.

Other useful data includes:

• API gravity of dry heavy crude oil
• pH of effluent water
• Oil Viscosity
• Analysis of water in the feed crude oil
• Ambient temperature
 Maintain stable operating conditions for a minimum of four hours and record all of the data points.

Check all of the data for credibility, For example:

• The outlet BS&W of the unit should not be more than the inlet

If the data is consistent for two consecutive sets of samples and the data is credible, proceed with
the plant optimization.
