have been provided in CDU/VDU:

De-mulsifier Dosing

This is injected at Desalters inlet through mixing valve and crude charge pump

suction to aid breaking in emulsion of water in crude. Option of adding ahead i.e. in

crude pump suction allows good mixing / distribution of de-mulsifier . Air driven

pump is used to unload in a pot, mixed with DM water and then dosed with

metering pumps.

Neutralizing Amine Dosing

This is dosed for pH and chloride control in overheads. As desalting do not

completely eliminate salts, the first water droplet condensed in overhead is very

acidic and can cause corrosion. Therefore, neutralizing amine is dosed on

overheads. Air driven pump is used to unload in a pot, mixed with DM water and

then dosed with metering pumps. There are total 6 pumps for three column

overheads. Two is common spare. Future pumps have to be installed for future De-

ethaniser.

Filming Amine Dosing

Apart from chloride and pH, filming amine is injected in column overheads as a

corrosion inhibitor. This is dissolved in naphtha so that it vaporizes at column top

causing a fine dispersion of the inhibitor and thus creating a thin film. It is dosed in

crude and in stabilizer column. There are six pumps for three dosing points and

have a spare for each pump.

Caustic Dosing

Caustic is used for caustic wash of LPG, Light Naphtha Hy. Naphtha and sour scrubbing the gas internal scrubber caustic make up pump (73-PE014 A/B) supplies the caustic from caustic make up tank 73-T-001.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURE

Date: - .08/03/09............... Faculty Name : Sh. K.Kumar Participant’s Name : 1. Sh. Dilawar 2. Sh. Yogesh 3. Sh. Uday Bhan 4. Sh. Puneet 5. Sh. Sanjeev INTRODUCTION

Emergency in the operating plant can occur due to failure of utilities like, Power, Steam, Instrument Air, fuel Oil etc. and failure of equipment. During some of the emergency situations the unit can be operated for a limited duration with appropriate action in time, while in other cases an immediate shut down may be necessary to avoid any damage to the operating personnel and equipment of the unit.

During emergencies, actions by operating personnel must be taken quickly & precisely. General guidelines listed below should always be kept in mind while tackling an emergency.

1. Excessive pressure/level and temperature beyond design limits for vessels, columns and furnaces must be avoided.

2. Furnaces coil should never run dry while furnace is ‘ON’. 3. In the ejector, flow of the motive steam must be ensured prior to opening of

vent off gas line. Conversely if the steam to ejector is failing, the ejector off gas vent B/V must be closed immediately. close the goose neck valve, non-condensable valve above hot well .

4. Transfer line temperature in furnace coil should never shoot up. Accordingly, fuel oil firing in the furnace to be controlled.

5. Heavy oil circuit such as RCO, vacuum slop, HVGO, LVGO & VR must be diluted with gas oil to avoid congealing of lines during emergency S/D of unit.

6. In case of furnace shut down, fuel oil circulation should be kept ‘ON’ but individual burner B/V must be closed & flushed with steam.

7. Main fuel gas B/V at individual furnace should be closed first before putting off all the gas burners.

8. Steam lines connected to the column must be isolated in case of steam failure to avoid hydrocarbon backing into steam line.

9. Run down B/V must be closed inside unit, to avoid backing of Hydrocarbon from offsite & other units.

10. Keep watch on furnaces & watch for any leakage due to thermal shock.

DDCS POWER SUPPLY FAILURE Dated: 13.03.09

Faculty : Sh. K.Kumar Participants Name : 1. Sh. D.Arora 2. Sh. Dilawar 3. Sh. Yogesh 4. Uday Bhan

Power supply to DDCS comes from two invertors, which supply 220 volts A/c power.

One of the invertors is connected to Distribute Process Control Station (DPCS) and the

other invertor is connected to POC and DBS. DPCS requires 24 volts DC which it

converts from 220 volt mains by its own power supply unit POC/DBS requires 110 volts

AC which is made available after stepping down from 220 volts inside the DDCS room.

All the interlocks system for furnaces and APH are fed 110 volts DC from process

substation.

In case of any power failure in DDCS, the battery back up through invertors should come

inline but in case it also fails, the power supply to DPCS/POC/DBS will fail and no

indication will be available at console, neither will any control be possible and all control

valves will go to their FAIL SAFE position. If power supply to DPCS is not affected, the

DPCS will be kept on holding/controlling the last value. In this condition, if POC/DBS

power is not restored with in very short time the unit will have to be brought down under

emergency shut down (in such a situation it is possible to monitor the critical parameters

of the plant from VSVP’ card of DPCS, with the help of instruments maintenance group

while going for shut down).

HEATER TUBE FAILURE Dated: 14.03.09

Faculty Member : Sh. R.N.Patel Participants Name : 1. Sh. D. Arora 2. Sh. Puneet 3. Sh. Marriappan 4. Sh. Uday Bhan A. MINOR TUBE LEAK (ATMOSPHEIRC SECTION) WHEN NORMAL

SHUT DOWN CAN BE TAKEN GRADUALLY.

1. After identifying leaky portion cut off furnace firing. Charge box purging steam to furnace. Ensure the readiness of emergency steam charge the steam as soon as possible

2. Watch on the pressure of the column. Empty out the column bottom and pump out the strippers to slop.

3. Bring down the vacuum system. Reduce furnace firing and establish close circulation). Close ejector steam MOV noncondensible valves. Start gas back up to VDU column to 200 mmof HG. Flush HVGO/ VR / VAC-SLOP lines up to r/d tanks

4. Stop all the product pumps when start losing suction. Allow the CR pumps for sometime for cooling the column.

5. Stop desalter water injection and switch off the desalter transformer. 6. Keep two small burners at that affected furnace and cut other affected

furnaces completely. 7. Watch on the column pressure, which should not exceed 1.5Kg/cm2. 8. Once it is confirmed that fire or hydrocarbon leak from the affected tube

has stopped and only steam is coming out, cut off burners completely and purge the firebox with steam. Prepare the affected furnace for handling over to Maintenance for repair.

9. Close the coil flushing steam close all the burner Put the blind in IFO/ FG/ pilot lines and also put the blinds in the convection i/l and radiation o/l. Hand over the furnace to maintenance. (Before blinding ensure the column to be fully depressurised.)

B. TUBE RUPTURE OR BIG TUBE LEAK

In case of big rupture cut off fire in the furnace completely and introduce snuffing to smother fire and to cool the firebox. Close IFO/FG/PILOT gas control valve isolation at all furnaces. Keep atomising steam ‘ON’. Combustion air may get cut off at high-arch pressure trip. Ensure combustion air cut-off. Emergency steam to be charged to coil gradually and watch the furnace box. If any smoke or any fire is witnessed inside the box then reduce the coil flushing steam and increase the box purging steam.

In this case vacuum also to be brought down. The same procedure as stated above to be followed for bringing down the vacuum system.

C. TUBE LEAK IN VACUUM SECTION

In case of a tube failure in Vacuum furnace 74-H-1, proceed to shut down of Vacuum unit sustaining operation of Atmospheric Section on reduced through put, if necessary.
