IPU Starting Case Study
Pearl Air Start Packages – Pearl APPLICATION: GTL Plant LOCATION: Middle East- Ras Laffan ENGINE: Caterpillar 3616
SOLUTION:
The compressed air system was designed for primary starting of a CAT 3616, a diesel driven emergency power generator on a GTL (Gas to Liquids) plant. The starting system was to be implemented in Ras Laffan, Qatar, and therefore had to be equipped to deal with temperatures up to +50ºC with over 50% humidity. The complete system comprised two stainless steel 1900 litre, ASME VIII Div. 1 and ‘U’ stamped air receivers, storing air at 30 bar. The design featured a duty electric compressor and diesel driven standby compressor. All pipe work, valves and fittings were in stainless steel and all instrumentation and electric components were made to meet Zone 2 requirements. IPU Starting was selected to build this application because:
The application had to be designed to fit Shell’s strict and demanding DEP (Design and Engineering Practices) specifications.
Needed a reliable system which could withstand the humid and hot environment.
Required excellent standards of engineering and safety practices.
