10 CALCULATION BASIS / ASSUMPTIONS

11 i. RO are installed on the gaslift injection line for manual depressuring to Closed Drain Vessel on RBDP-A so that it will not overload the vent system.
12 ii. As the RO is used for manual depressuring purpose, there is no requirement to depressure the system to a certain low pressure within a
13 duration of time like automatic blowdown. Therefore for establishing the flow through RO, the following approach is used.
14

15 The flow through RO will be based on upstream pressure up to design pressure of 113 barg at operating temperature of 27ºC (to be more
16 conservative) by ensuring the Mach Number of gas flow in piping downstream of RO is not exceeding 0.75 at 0 barg backpressure.
17

18 iii. Piping size of 2" and 3" are selected for the studies.
19 iv. Technip In-house spreadsheet, Calligne (Attachment -1 ) will be used to estimate the allowable flowrate to fulfill the criteria as mentioned above.
20 v. Technip In-house spreadsheet, RO sizing (Attachment -2 ) will be used to calculate the required orifice diameter. The calculated orifice diameter
21 shall be at least 5mm to avoid plugging. If the calculated orifice diameter is less than 5mm, a minimum 5mm orifice diameter will be selected to
22 estimate the flowrate through the RO. Piping size downstream of RO will be recalculated base on the new flowrate.
