Introduction
he Chevron Chemical Corporation Ammonia Plant was installed in 1967 in Pascagoula USA, being one of the largest ammonia plants in the world at
that time. In 1992, the ammonia plant was relocated to Pakistan by Engro Chemicals Pakistan Limited which was renamed later as Engro Fertilizers Limited (EFERT). Several de-bottlenecking projects entailed increase in plant capacity from 1360 MTPD to 1650 MTPD. Commissioning of EnVen (Plant-2) in 2011, being the world’s largest single train urea plant at that time, had made EFERT the fifth largest urea producing site of the world. After safe and smooth operation of Plant-1 of about 20 years, the plant was shut down for a period of 7 months, in October 2012, due to scarcity of natural gas in the country. In April 2013, natural gas supply was restored to the plant; however plant re-start had to be delayed due to some issues faced related to plant preservation.
Background
Plant site of EFERT is divided into two parts, Plant-1 (1650 MTD Ammonia & 2850 MTD UREA) and Plant-2 (2194 MTD Ammonia & 3835 MTD UREA). Plant-1 consists of two urea plants, two utilities unit and one ammonia plant fulfilling the raw material requirement of the two urea plants. Due to the gas curtailment issue prevailing in the country, it was decided to run Plant-2, being more energy efficient, at maximum load and to keep Plant-1 shutdown till further gas availability which was quite uncertain.
EFERT, being the pioneer in implementing vigorous safety systems had developed stringent procedures to preserve the site in mothballed condition. In pursuit of achieving world class safety standards, EFERT has aligned itself with DuPont safety system. The preservation procedures were made keeping in view the standard guidelines as well as plant’s operational experience.

After Plant-1 was shut down, a slight delay in preservation occurred due to the uncertainty of gas resumption. Plant-1 was preserved keeping in view the EFERT’s preservation guidelines. Plant-1 was being preserved for such a long duration (7 months) for the first time after being commissioned in 1992. Steam and condensate headers were depressurized through low point drains. The reactors were properly blinded and kept under positive nitrogen pressure. Cooling water headers were preserved following a wet passivation methodology. Synthesis compressor and Refrigeration compressor trains were kept under positive nitrogen pressure and as per EFERT’s preservation guidelines, it was planned to manually rotate them at 180 degrees at a period of 15 days. The utility boilers were preserved using the wet lay-up procedure.
Despite of adhering to the developed standards and procedures, EFERT faced several issues at the time of startup. These issues are discussed below.

Heavy corrosion in ammonia plant process air compressor piping
The process air compressor (KGT-2501) provides process air for the secondary reforming and a source of nitrogen for the ammonia synthesis process. It also provides plant and instrument air supply through its third and fourth stage’s suction. Figure 1 shows process air flow through the compressor. Refer to table 1 for air compressor (KGT-2501) parameters.
Observations
In order to prepare the machine for startup after a seven months long shutdown, ratcheting of the turbo train was initiated. However, it was unable to rotate the machine. Turbo train components were then dis-coupled in order to separate Gas Turbine / LP Case Compressor / HP Case Compressor. Upon taking manual rotation steps this time, GT rotor was successfully rotated. However, LP case could not be moved.

The Air Machine’s rotor jamming problem resulted in approximately 72 hours delay in plant startup.

From compressor discharge piping. Erosion marks on the impellers and inlet guide vanes (IGVs) are due to water ingress from 3rd stage knock out (KO) drum.
A rundown tank installation project was in progress, providing lube oil to the machine in case of lube oil failure. It was due to this project that lube oil connections for the rotor bearing had been disconnected. After the run down tank’s installation, flushing of lube oil circuit kept continued through flushing oil. Since the lube oil connections for the rotor bearings had been disconnected, the rotor couldn’t be manually barred over as per EFERT’s preservation guide lines which dictate that the gear boxes having no forced feed lubrication should be rotated 180 degrees on a 15 days period. The machine was not kept under positive nitrogen pressure as it was unforeseen that corrosion would take place after properly draining, depressurization and drying.
Due to uncertainty of gas restoration in order to start Plant-1 again, air compressor casing was not preserved with nitrogen and blinds were not installed at immediate flanges
The breath- in & breath-out phenomenon created ways for moisture deposition inside machine’s housing. Thus the process of corrosion started and resulted in flakes formation which became attached with the rotor clearance and moving parts, preventing the rotor from rotating during machine’s slow rolling and ratcheting. Figure 2 and 3 shows pictorial observations related to the LP and HP casing corrosion.

Heavy corrosion in CO2 absorber bottom & rich solution flash vessel
A flow diagram of ENGRO’s CATACARB facility is shown in figure 7. The solution itself consists of a mixture of potassium carbonate in water, to which an activator (DEA plus boric acid) and a corrosion inhibitor (vanadium) have been added. Vanadium is kept in the active, corrosion inhibiting pentavalent (V5), rather than in the inactive quadravalent (V4) state through the continuous injection of a small air flow into the circulating solution. A mechanical filter and an activated carbon drum are used to clean up the solution.
History of absorber (C-2519):
The absorber tower is a completely stress relieved carbon steel vessel. The only stainless steel parts are the gas distributor in the bottom and the wash trays in the top. The gas distributor nozzle is 304L stainless steel clad and so is the tower above the upper bed.
The bottom section contains two large beds. 24 and 12 feet of pall ring packing is loaded respectively in the two beds. The first two feet are occupied by SS-304 and the remaining volume is filled with carbon steel packing. The top section contains three smaller beds in which the top two feet of each bed is occupied with SS pall rings and the remaining volume is filled with carbon steel packing.
Frequent problem of dislodging and damage of trays had been significantly improved after 1998 modifications (replacement of bubble cap trays with pall ring packing beds). First vessel entry
was made in April 2004 thru three man ways (M-1, M-4, and M-6, refer to figure 4.) and
Figure 4. Absorber man ways for inspection
visual inspection revealed all internals intact. Some vanadium deposits were found on top trays which were removed. Mesh was found dislodged from the center and was re-clamped with SS wires. In turnaround 2005, top two trays were inspected from M-1 only without vessel entry. No deposits on trays, loose caps, nuts/bolts, unusual signs of breakage/corrosion/damage were observed. No inspection was done on other man ways. In turnaround 2009, vessel entry was made thru all man ways (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 & M6). Wire mesh and support plate holes found choked (40-50%) in all man-ways, which were cleaned. Distributors, bubble caps trays, gratings, channels and support rings of beds were found in healthy condition. Detailed inspection of bottom gas risers/distributors was not done by installing scaffolding. However visual inspection from M6 was ok.
Observations
During routine inspection of Absorber (C-2519), while the plant was shut down, it was found that the vapor distributor and support plate were heavily corroded as shown in the figure 6. Heavy deposition of CATACARB was also found near M-2. Severe corrosion was also observed in rich solution flash vessel (HP flash vessel).

Root cause & lesson learnt
Due to gas curtailment, plant remained shut down for almost 7 months (Oct 2012 to Apr-2013). First startup was in April 2013; since then we had started/shut down the plant for 3 times. All three times the plant remained in operation for around 10 days at reduced load i.e. 80~100% versus design of 150%. These
frequent startup and shutdown jerks proved to be quite detrimental for the absorber due to back flow of process gas upon vent valve opening.
Although DEA / HCOOK (Potassium Formate) / Bicarbonate concentration was found in the normal range, increasing their concentration results in an increase in overall specific gravity. At specific density above 1.32Kg/l catacarb system becomes extremely corrosive. A low steam to gas ratio project was performed in year 2008 – 2009 for energy conservation of ammonia plant. It resulted in a gradual increase in specific density of the system to a maximum value of 1.34Kg/l. As a result of low steam to gas ration, DEA had to be increased in the system in order to limit the CO2 slip from absorber. With the increase in specific density as mentioned, the corrosion phenomenon had started in the system, with the absorber bottom bed being more prone to corrosion. Total iron in CATACARB solution (semi lean solution) showed an increasing trend from 2011-2012 (Figure 7). Increase in total iron is a direct indication of the corrosion phenomenon occurring in the system. A peak value of 178 ppm of iron was observed in the catacarb system against the maximum allowable limit of 100 ppm.
A 2” wash water line enters the top of absorber, providing wash water to the top trays which is used to remove catacarb solution mist, being carried over with the gas phase. The same line serves the purpose of flushing absorber while performing its preservation during plant shutdown. The line size proved to be inadequate as the bottom bed of absorber couldn’t get flushed properly leaving behind catacarb solution pockets that led to corrosion in absorber bed. The plant had never been preserved before for such a time period. It remained operational throughout after its commissioning and therefore the issue of inadequate wash water flow couldn’t get highlighted before.
242 2014AMMONIA TECHNICAL MANUAL
Frequent startups/shutdowns & CATACARB solution pockets existing at the bottom of absorber (C2519) as a result of improper flushing, played a vital role in absorber’s bottom bed damage.
The packing bed was re-installed after inspection and washing whereas the bottom
support plate was replaced with the in-house modification. It was thus decided, after thorough inspection, to replace the complete bed with stainless steel and replace the in-house modified bottom support plate with the newly procured support plate.

Thinning of Portions of Cooling Water Header
Water leakage was observed during routine visit of cooling tower from cooling water return header at Utility-1 Unit. During inspection of pipelines it was observed that the pipe has been severely corroded. The humid living conditions of these pipes are the perfect catalyst for the deterioration of pipes. Water in cooling towers comes from a variety of sources, and the source dictates the pH balance of the water. The damage caused by particulates becomes exasperating when the water loses its pH balance and becomes either too acidic or too alkaline. The imbalance of pH can cause either scale formation or corrosion.
The calcium or magnesium carbonate becomes deposited on pipes, creating scales. When scales build up, it can trap oxygen, causing corrosion.
Scale buildup may cause microbial growth between the scales and pipes. This can cause pipe corrosion called microbial induced corrosion (MIC) in addition to the already present scale problem.
The warm environment (not too hot/not too cold) is the perfect atmosphere for microbes to thrive. The microbial growth causes differential aeration. Without the ability to diffuse evenly, oxygen develops into a concentration of cells, causing the cell concentration to eat away at the pipe where it is trapped. Every 25-30 degree change in temperature doubles the corrosion rate.
Root cause & lesson learnt
Wet passivation of cooling water associated headers and dried depressurization was not carried out due to parallel activities around cooling tower during turnaround 2012 that resulted delayed cooling tower draining and initiated the process of active corrosion inside cooling water header.
Limitation of time for coming to plant operation further hindered the replacement of cooling water return (CWR) header. It was thus decided to install hot box-up on 150 ft long CWR header encapsulating the existing corroded and fragile metal.
Figure 9. Corroded CWR header
High iron pick-up from Utility-1 boilers
During plant shut down period, wet lay-up methodology was adopted for Utility-1 boilers preservation. According to this methodology, carbohydrazine batch was prepared in de-aerator with carbohydrazine concentration of around 1500-2000 ppm. As soon as the desired carbohydrazine concentration was reached, the batch was dosed into the steam drum of boilers via BFW header. Tri Sodium Phosphate (TSP) was added in the steam drum to maintain a pH
244 2014AMMONIA TECHNICAL MANUAL
of 10 ~ 11. The carbohydrazine concentration in the steam drum was controlled at a value of 500-800 ppm.
The desired concentration of preservation chemicals were being monitored through weekly laboratory analysis of steam drum’s Continuous Blow down (CBD) sample. However as a cross check a sample of Intermittent Blow down (IBD) was sent for analysis and it showed high iron pick-up. Since the boiler was in a mothballed state, lack of thermo-syphon resulted in non-uniform phosphate distribution across the boiler, thereby creating ways for corrosion build-up. TSP kept on precipitating down without providing effective protection layer in the absence of thermo-syphon.
The wet lay-up methodology didn’t prove to be effective for the Utility boilers in mothballed state. As a result of this, a new approach of dry lay-up was adopted and a new nitrogen header was laid down to serve the purpose.
Dry lay-up strategy includes initially filling the boiler with hot condensate then draining it under nitrogen pressure until the boiler is completely filled with nitrogen. The boiler is then kept under positive nitrogen pressure.
Iron pick-up as high as 14.7 ppm was observed in the blow-down sample lab analysis against the maximum allowable limit of 2 ppm.
Figure 10. “A” type boiler at Utilities-1 plant
Conclusion
As a lesson-learnt from afore mentioned issues, detailed MOCs (Management of Change) protocols were conducted and guidelines were developed to avoid recurrence of such incidents in future. The preservation guidelines were revised which are described below in detail.
