Process Description – Dehydration Unit (DHU)

• Purpose:
❑ To reduce the moisture content of the natural gas stream preventing ice formation at sub-0
temperatures by adsorption with re-generable molecular sieves.
❑ The specification is less than 1 ppm on leaving the dryers
Process Description – Mercury Removal Unit (MRU)

• Purpose:
❑ To remove mercury present in the feed gas to protect the aluminium MCHE against corrosion using
Sulphur impregnated Activated Carbon.

Utilities Description – Drinking and Service Water

• Drinking water system provides clean water for plant safety shower, eyewash, drinking fountain and
general sanitary use in buildings.
• Service water is used for general plant cleaning, where the system may come into contact with
contaminants.
• Source of drinking and service water: LAKU.
Utilities Description – Fire Water

• Firewater loops cover the entire complex (mostly underground piping) used to supply water to water
deluge sprays, hydrants and monitors.
• Easily recognisable from the red coloured piping
Terminal
Terminal Description

OFF SITE FLARE

▪ Each flare stack is designed at 500 kg/s (1.8 x 106 kg/hr ) of gas
flow which is max relief valve capacity of one GMS1 train.

▪ Currently A-6331A is line up to receive waste gas from SC1 and

GMS1, whereas A-6331B to receive waste gas from SC2 and
GMS2.
