Gujarat Refinery
Distillation is a technique by which two or more substances with different boiling points can be
separated from one other. For example, fresh water can be obtained from seawater (water that
contains salts) by distillation. When seawater is heated, water turns into a vapor that can be
condensed and captured. The salts in the seawater remain behind.
In contrast to the preceding example, distillation is most commonly used to separate two or more
liquids from each other.
General Principles:
Separation of components from a liquid mixture via distillation depends on the differences in the
boiling points of the individual components. Depending on the concentrations of the components
present, the liquid mixture will have different boiling point characteristics. Distillation processes
therefore depends on the vapor pressure characteristics of liquid mixtures.
The vapor pressure of a liquid at a particular temperature is the equilibrium pressure exerted by
molecules leaving and entering the liquid surface. A liquid is said to ‘boil’ when its vapor pressure
equals the surrounding pressure. Liquids with high vapor pressures (volatile liquids) will boil at
lower temperatures. The vapor pressure and hence the boiling point of a liquid mixture depends on
the relative amounts of the components in the mixture. The ease with which a liquid boils depends
on its volatility. Distillation occurs because of the differences in the volatility of the components in
the liquid mixture.
Dew-point is the temperature at which the saturated vapor starts to condense. Bubble-point is the
temperature at which the liquid starts to boil.

The boiling point diagram shows how the equilibrium compositions of the components in a
liquid mixture vary with temperature at a fixed pressure. Consider an example of a liquid
mixture containing 2 components (A and B) - a binary mixture. The boiling point of A is that at
which the mole fraction of A is 1. The boiling point of B is that at which the mole fraction of A
is 0. In this example, A is the more volatile component and therefore has a lower boiling point
than B. The upper curve in the diagram is called the dew-point curve. The lower one is called
the bubble-point curve. The dew-point is the temperature at which the saturated vapor starts to
condense. The bubble-point is the temperature at which the liquid starts to boil. The region
above the dew-point curve shows the equilibrium composition of the superheated vapor.

The region below the bubble-point curve shows the equilibrium composition of the subcooled
liquid. For example, when a subcooled liquid with mole fraction of A=0.4 (point A) is heated, its
concentration remains constant until it reaches the bubble-point (point B), when it starts to
boil. The vapors evolved during the boiling have the equilibrium composition given by point C,
approximately 0.8 mole fraction A. This is approximately 50% richer in A than the original
liquid. This difference between liquid and vapor compositions in equilibrium is the basis for
distillation operations.
Relative Volatility
• Relative volatility is a measure of the differences in volatility between two components, and
hence their boiling points.
• The relative volatility of component ‘i’ with respect to component ‘j’ is defined as

Example
Imagine a mixture of three liquids, A, B, and C. A has a boiling point of 86°F (30°C); B has a boiling
point of 104°F (40°C); and C has a boiling point of 122°F (50°C). Ordinary gasoline is such a mixture,
except that it consists of many more than three components.
The three-liquid mixture described above is added to a distillation flask. The mixture in the flask is
heated by a Bunsen burner or some other apparatus. The temperature of the liquid mixture rises
until it reaches the boiling point of any one liquid in the flask. In our example, that liquid is A,
which boils at 86°F. Liquid A begins to boil when the temperature in the flask reaches 86°F. It turns
into a vapor at that temperature, rises in the distilling flask, and passes out of the flask arm into the
condenser.
The condenser consists of a long tube surrounded by a larger tube. The outer tube contains water,
which enters near the bottom of the condenser and leaves near the top. The water passing through
the outer jacket of the condenser cools the vapor passing through the inner tube. The vapor loses
heat and condenses (meaning it changes back to a liquid). It flows out of the condenser and into a
receiving container—a flask or beaker placed in position to capture the liquid. The liquid (liquid A)
is now known as the distillate, or the product of the distillation.
Meanwhile, the temperature in the distilling flask has not changed, as indicated by the
thermometer in the mouth of the flask. Heat added to the liquid mixture is used to vaporize liquid
A, not to raise the temperature of the mixture. That temperature will begin to rise only when liquid
A has completely boiled away. By watching the thermometer, therefore, an observer can know
when liquid A has been completely removed from the liquid mixture. At that point, the receiver
containing pure liquid A can be removed and replaced by a new receiver.

Once liquid A has boiled away, the temperature in the distilling flask begins to rise again. When it
reaches 104°F, liquid B begins to boil away, and the sequence of events observed with liquid A is
repeated. Eventually, pure samples of A, B, and C can be collected.
their boiling points. Vacuum distillation is used for such liquids. In vacuum distillation, air is
pumped out of the distilling flask. Under reduced pressure in the flask, liquids boil away at
temperatures less than their boiling points (below the point at which they would otherwise
decompose).
Applications
Distillation is among the most important and widely used industrial operations today. About 95
percent of all separation processes today are carried out in industry with more than 40,000
distillation systems. Those systems generally consist of structures that look very different from the
one shown in the distillation setup figure. For example, a petroleum refining plant is usually
distinguished by a group of distilling towers that rise more than 100 feet (30 meters) into the air.
The principle on which such towers operate, though, is no different from the one described above.

In petroleum refineries, crude oil is heated at the bottom of the refining tower. The hundreds of
compounds that make up crude oil each boil off at their own characteristic boiling point. They rise
in the refining tower, are cooled, and condense to liquids. Collectors at various heights in the tower
are used to draw off those liquids into various fractions known by designations such as gasoline,
diesel oil, heating oil, and lubricating oil. To vaporize heavier components at a prescribed
temperature, stripping steam is provided in some distillation column at the bottom to reduce partial
pressure of heavier components.

Crude from OM&S is received through booster pumps located at GR/GRE Crude Control. Crude
is charged at a temperature of 350C by feed pumps H-2, H-2A, 2B, 2C for processing. These are
actually crude booster pumps, which take suction from discharge of offsite pumps at GR/GRE Crude
Control. It is pumped and preheated by successive heat exchange with Hy Naphtha-I, Hy Naphtha-
II, Kero-I, Kero-II, SRGO (HSD), and RCO and received in desalters. Salts, water and BS&W are
removed from crude by applying high voltage across the electrode grids in the desalters. Crude is
further heated by successive heat exchange with RCO, SRGO and then it enters the pre-topping
column K-1.
K-1 top gasoline vapours are condensed in two sets of condensers (T-7A/B) and received in
reflux drum E-1. A part of this liquid is sent as reflux back to column and the remaining quantity is
sent to stabilizer column K-4 after passing through heat exchangers where LPG is removed &
naphtha is sent to R/D. K-1 bottom residue is further preheated in RCO and SRGO exchangers and
then heated up in three furnaces running in parallel. Hot residue crude from the furnaces is
combined and is sent to flash zone of the main fractionating column K-2.
Column K-1 has two side cut products. Heavy Naphtha-I is the first side cut product, which goes
to K-6A for stripping, and Kerosene-I is the second side cut which is sent to stripper K-6B. Later Hy
Naphtha-I combines with Hy Naphtha-II and SRGO of K-2 and goes to HSD rundown. Kerosene-I
combines with Kerosene-II of K-2 and exchanges heat with crude and then it is cooled in cooler and
sent as Kero R/D.
In flash zone of K-2 all products except RCO go in vapour form in upper section whereas RCO
drops in stripping section of K-2. Vapours rise through the upper section of the column and are
fractionated and withdrawn as a side product. Gasoline comes out as vapours from K-2 top whereas
Hy Naphtha-II, Kerosene and SRGO are withdrawn as side cuts from column K-2.
From the top of K-2, Gasoline vapours enter into four sets of condensers (T-8A/B/C/D) and after
condensing are collected in reflux drum E-2. A part of E-2 gasoline is put back into the column as a
reflux and balance is sent to Naphtha-2 rundown.

Hy Naphtha-II is drawn as first side cut from column K-2. This Hy Naphtha enters the top
section of K-3 stripper. After stripping, Hy Naphtha-II together with Hy Naphtha-I of K-6A and
SRGO exchanges heat with crude and circulating water and is sent to HSD rundown.
Kerosene-II is withdrawn as 2nd draw-off from column K-2. After withdrawing it is fed to K-3C
for steam stripping. Product pumps H-10/10A deliver kero-II from K-3C to crude exchangers where
it exchanges heat with crude. T-14A cooler is used to cool down the final rundown product (Kero-I
and Kero-II). A part of Kero-II is taken from the same draw-off line and sent to crude exchanger
where it exchanges heat with crude. From crude exchanger it returns to column K-2 as CR-II.
SRGO is withdrawn as 3rd side cut from column K-2. SRGO enters the bottom section of K-3
stripper. SRGO from stripper is pumped to storage after exchanging heat with crude, K-4 feed and
circulating water (in cooler E-315). After K-4 feed preheat exchanger E-311, Hy Naphtha-I and Hy
Naphtha-II together combine with SRGO. These three streams in combination pass through another
crude exchanger E-102A/B as HSD. Cooler E-315 is used to cool down this HSD to rundown
temperature.
A part of SRGO upstream of stripper is pumped through K-4 bottom reboiler; K-1 residue
exchanger, crude exchanger and DM water heat exchanger and then returns to main column K-2 as
circulating reflux (CR-III). There is interconnection between discharge lines of P-307A/B and H-
4/5A to facilitate SRGO C/R through stripper K-3B instead of upstream of SRGO withdrawal.
RCO from K-2 bottom is routed to FPU-I, II and OM&S after exchanging heat with crude in
different crude heat exchangers and with circulating water in coolers T-16/16A/B/C/D/E.
For convenience of understanding, the unit is divided in various circuits viz. crude supply, feed

Adequate settling time, 12 hours or more after completion of receipt is required for each tank to
settle down water/sludge. The water is thoroughly drained before feeding to the unit. The sludge
from the tank is drained to melting pit.
A crude tank prepared as above, is first fed at slow rate by crack opening of outlet valve
(bleeding), along with the already feeding tank. After minimum of 4 hours bleeding, this may be
made a complete feed tank. This procedure is adopted to avoid unit upsets due to possible sudden
influx of water or abrupt feeding of different quality crude from the fresh tank. Feeding from the
crude tank to the unit crude feed pump may be either by gravity, as in the case of low feed
requirement, or via crude booster pump as in the case of higher throughput requirement.

With the help of crude feed pumps, crude is pumped to a number of heat exchangers to recover
heat from run-down products. Crude is charged to two parallel preheat series branched by
3TV3125A and 3TV3125B. These two series of exchangers constitute pre-desalter section of
preheat circuit, Preheat Train-I, which impart a large quantity of heat to crude. The crude
preheat circuit is divided into three sections viz. pre-desalter (Preheat Train-I), post-desalter
(Preheat Train-II) & post-pretopping column (Preheat Train-III).
PREHEAT TRAIN-I
The first exchanger of one series of this train is E-102A/B (Crude/SRGO). Crude ex E-102 A/B is
divided into two parts and passes through tube side of E-103A and E-103B through flow indicators
3FI3101 and 3FI3102. Crude flow through heat exchangers is adjusted to optimize heat recovery
from RCO stream for which 3TI3107 and 3TI3109 have been provided on the outlets of E-103A and
E-103B respectively.
Crude ex E-103A and E-103B mixes and passes through tube side of HM3A/B and takes heat
from RCO flowing through shell side. Crude ex HM3A/B passes through the shell side of CR-II
(SRGO) heat exchanger E-104A/B (mounted one above another). Desalting temperature is achieved
in E-104A/B. Crude outlet of E-104A/B is the end of first series where the end of other series
combines.
The second part of this train consists of exchangers no. E-301A/B (Crude/Kero-I+II), E-
302A/B/C (Crude/RCO), E-303 (Crude/Kero-II) and E-305 (Crude/SRGO) respectively. While
passing through these exchangers crude takes heat from Kero-I, RCO, Kero-II and SRGO. In this
circuit, desalting temperature is achieved in E-305. Crude from both circuits mixes and proceeds
towards Desalter-I (old) and Desalter-II (new), which operate in parallel. Crude oil is heated from
35°C to 130°C in the pre-desalter section i.e., Preheat Train-I.
Crude enters for removal of salt and water at bottom section of both desalters through inlet
distributors. Crude is initially mixed with adequate amount of DM Water (3%) with the help of
mixing valve. Recommended pressure drop across mixing valve is 0.7 to 1 kg/cm2. Adequate settling
time is allowed to break the oil-water emulsion and salt-water to settle down in desalter. The crude
desalting operation is carried out at 145° C and 12.0 kg/cm2(g). The pressure in the desalters is

controlled by 3PC3101 located on discharge of feed pumps H-2, H-2A, H-2B and H-2C. DM water
(and stripped sour water) is injected to crude at desalter inlets through flow controllers 3FC3906
and 3FC3907. The DMW exchange heat with brine in E-231A/B/C and with CR-I/III in E-313A/B
and is heated to 120- 140° C. The desalted crude is withdrawn with the help of outlet crude
collector mounted on the top most part inside the desalter. The separated effluent water with
dissolved salt is drawn from each desalter through interface level controllers 3LC3902A/B (for
Desalter-I) and 3LC3903A/B (for Desalter-II) and after combining exchanges heat with DM water in
E-231A/B/C. Effluent water is then drained through a flash drum, E-19. Interface level is
maintained around 25%. The exact interface level for efficient desalting will depend upon the salt
content and appearance of effluent water. To physically check the interface level, tri-lines are
provided to each desalter and sample from these tri-lines is checked through a sample cooler.
Desalted crude from the two desalters combines in a common outlet on which 3PI3101 is
located. Corresponding control valve, as mentioned above, 3PV3101 is located on the common
discharge header of crude feed pumps. A small slipstream is withdrawn from desalter common inlet
and passes through a vortex mixer where it is mixed with caustic solution at a regulated rate and
injected to desalter common outlet.
PREHEAT TRAIN-II
Crude from desalters is sent to Preheat Train-II. The crude flow is again divided into two
parallel branches of heat exchangers by 3TV3102A and 3TV3102B. On one part passing through
3TV3102A, flow indicator 3FI3127 is provided to measure crude flow so that crude can be adjusted
to optimize heat recovery. In this branch of Preheat Train-II, crude oil is heated successively by
SRGO, CR-III and RCO in exchangers no. E-306A/B (Crude/SRGO), E-307 (Crude/CR-III) and E-
308 A/B/C (Crude/RCO) respectively.
In another branch of this train, crude oil passes through the tube side of E-320 (RCO/Crude) and
crude is then divided into two parts and successively heated by RCO in newly installed HME/F.
HMC/D,HMA/B.
Both the branches of Preheat Train-II combine before entering the flash zone of pre-topping
column K-1. In this preheat section crude oil is heated to around 230OC. The preheat temperature of
feed to K-1 is indicated by 3TC040 and 3TI3203.

The pre-topped crude is heated to a temp of 3660C in all the three furnaces before sending it to
column K-2.
The column K-2 is operated at 0.6 to 1.0 kg/cm2(g) pressure. Column K-2 pressure is controlled
with the help of split range controller 3PC3503 acting on the gas line of its reflux accumulator E-2.
This pressure controller admits gas into E-2 through gas make-up (from E4 vessel) line or releases
gas from E-2 to flare depending on whether the column K-2 pressure is lower or higher than
desired. A safety valve 3PSV-3503 set at 1.2 kg/cm2(g) pressure is provided at E-2. This PSV
releases excess pressure into atmosphere.
Naphtha boiling up to about 110 to 125OC is the overhead product from column K-2 and is
commonly known as E-2 gasoline. This naphtha is devoid of the light hydrocarbons like gas and
LPG. The overhead vapour from the column K-2 enters overhead condensers T-8A, T-8B, T-8C and
T-8D working in parallel and the condensed liquid is received in the reflux accumulator E-2. A
reflux temperature indicator 3TI3512 is provided on this line. A steam connection is provided on
vessel E-2 for steam flushing. Ammoniated water and Ahuralan are injected in two O/H vapour
lines of K-2 to maintain E-2 boot-water pH and to avoid corrosion in condensers and reflux drum.

One of pumps P-302A/B draws kerosene-II CR (CR-II) via a 12” line from the =20” combined
draw-off line before 3LV3516. Kero CR-II from pump discharge is divided into two parts. One part
goes directly to the tube side of crude exchanger E-104A/B and the other part enters as a lower
stream to a 3-way control valve 3TV3130, which is provided, on the tube outlet of E-104A/B. The
controller 3TC3130 controls the return temperature of CR-II. Increasing its ‘OP’ decreases CR-II
return temperature. On downstream of 3TC3130 a flow controller 3FC3502 is provided which
controls the circulatory reflux flow back to K-2. The CR-II is returned to K-2 above 31st tray and the
return temperature is also indicated by 3TI3502.
During 2013 M&I control routing AU3 kerosene to LABFS tank commissioned.
Kerosene can be sent to diesel pool(EURO-3) along with AU3 disel after passing through diesel salt

Kerosene can also be sent o DHDT feed tanks, DHDT unit along with AU3 diesel
SRGO along with SRGO CR (CR-II) is withdrawn as 3rd side cut from 16th tray of column K-2
through two diametrically opposite draw-off lines ( = 12”) like Kerosene-II draw-off. Both the
lines combine into a = 18” common pipe. The withdrawal temperature of SRGO is maintained at
around 285OC to 300OC with the help of 3TC3505 on SRGO withdrawal line ( = 8”) parted from
the 18” dia common draw-off pipe, thereby varying internal reflux amongst trays in the draw-off
region inside K-2. Drawn-off SRGO is then fed via this 8” line to a stripper K-3B (bottom section of
K-3, I.D. = 1200 mm; Ht. = 6800 mm, TL to TL) above top tray. Stripper K-3B has been provided
with six sieve trays. Stripping steam is introduced at the stripper bottom through 3FC3508 and
stripped off vapours along with steam return to column K-2 above tray no. 20. When SRGO (HSD)
meets the flash point requirement without being stripped, stripping steam to column K-3B is then
kept isolated. Stripping steam is introduced only when hot oil is made for UDEX to meet flash point

3LC3503 maintains the level of K-3B when cascaded with 3FC3135, SRGO run-down flow
controller.
SRGO from K-3B is pumped with H-4/5A through tube side of E-306A/B and then E-305 where
it cools down by exchanging heat with crude and enters exchanger E-311 for preheating K-4 feed.
In E-311, SRGO cools down by exchanging heat with K-4 feed. A 3-way combining type control
valve 3TV3131 is provided on E-311 tube outlet to control K-4 feed temperature. A 6” dia line taken
from upstream of E-311 enters the 3-way control valve as lower stream. Decreasing the lower
stream flow increases K-4 feed temperature. At downstream of 3TC3131 flow controller 3FC3135
acts in cascade mode on the stripper level control valve 3LV3503 provided next to 3FI3135.
SRGO ex E-311 and through 3TV3131, 3LV3503 enters the tube side of crude exchanger E-
102A/B. But before entering, it combines with Heavy Naphtha-I & II ex P-304A/B/C discharge to
maintain flash point. SRGO may be termed as HSD also and finally it goes to HSD pool. HSD ex E-
102A/B cools down in cooler E-315 and routed to OM&S. At run-down, a provision is made to route
kerosene ex T-14A to HSD as per requirement. Coalescer in HSD r/d line is commissioned in order to
route entire HSD through coalescer. There is also provision to route off grade material into slop tank

for controlling the temperature of partially vaporised naphtha coming out from the tube side of
thermo siphon reboiler E-106. In other words, 3TC3605 controls the bottom temperature of K-4.
CR-III ex 3TV3605 enters the shell side of E-106. Lower stream of 3TV3605 joins with CR-III outlet
from E-106. CR-III ex reboiler enters the tube side of E-317A/B where it exchanges heat with shell
side K-1 bottom residue. It then is divided into two parts. One part enters the tube side of crude
exchanger E-307. Another part goes as lower stream to a 3-way control valve 3TV3135 provided on
the tube outlet of E-307. 3TC3135 controls the return temperature of CR-III back to column K-2. A
provision is made to take a part of CR-III ex E-307 tube outlet through an 8” dia. line to E-313A/B
for heating DM water, required for injection to crude before desalters. A flow controller 3FC3519
located on the downstream of 3TV3135 controls the CR-III return flow-rate. The CR-III returns
to K-2 above 20th tray through two 8” dia. lines.
Partially vaporised crude from F-1/F-2/F-3 enters in column K-2 above 6th tray (flash zone).
Unvaporised RCO (reduced crude oil) falls in bottom section of K-2, along with over flash
hydrocarbons, which acts as stripper. Stripping steam (3 ata) is introduced at the bottom section
below 1st tray in K-2 through a controller 3FC3501. 3 ata stripping steam is regulated by 3PC3701
located before 3FC3501 near K-2 bottom on ground floor. Column bottom temperature is indicated
by 3TI3503.
RCO from K-2 bottom is pumped by pumps H-11/11A and H-42 to exchange heat with crude in
heat exchangers. A flow indicator 3FI3507 is provided on pump discharge. A diverting type 3-way
control valve 3TV040 is provided on this discharge line before E-309C. Lower stream of 3TV040
acts as bypass to all three exchangers E-309C & E-309A/B. Upper stream ex 3TV040 enters the tube

crude exchangers, viz., E-308A/B/C, HM1A/B,HM1C/D,HME/F etc.
RCO stream ex E-309A/B/C is divided into two parts. Two number globe valves installed in 2013
M&I instead of gate valves for proper flow control. One part passes through shell side of exchangers
E-308A/B/C and E-302A/B/C in counter-current flow with preheated crude of Preheat Train-I. A
flow indicator 3FI3131 is provided between E-308A and E-302C to measure RCO flow in this
section. And the other part of RCO stream passes through shell side of HM1A/B, HM1C/D,HM1E/F
of Preheat Train-II in counter-current flow with crude. Flow indicator 3FI3107 provided before
HM1A/B to measure RCO flow through the two branches. RCO from these two branches combines
together to pass through E-320A/B, HM3A/B and exchanges heat with crude. Flow indicator
3FI3130 is provided before E-320B.
RCO from HM3A/B is divided into two parts and exchanges heat with crude in E-103A and E-
103B. On each pass flow indicator 3FI3103 and 3FI3104 are provided to adjust RCO flow for
optimizing heat recovery. Two number new HV’s installed at the down stream of
E103A/B(HV1001A) and E302A/B(HV1001B). Combined RCO Ex these HV’s gets cooled in RCO
coolers T-16/16A/16B/16C/16D/16E. Out of these six coolers operating in parallel, 5 coolers remain
in line normally. This RCO can be routed to FPU/OM&S via 3FC3507 (actuating 3LV3501) which
maintains column K-2 level under cascade control with 3LC3501A. Flow controller 3FC3120 can
also be cascaded with 3LC3501A, as per requirement. An additional flow control valve 3LHV3501 is
provided (Revamp, 2000) near RCO coolers for handling high RCO yield at maximum throughput.
A high level alarm is provided at K-2 bottom. RCO can be routed to following places:
1. A 4" tapping is taken before 3FV3507 (or 3LV3501) to route RCO to VBU. (Not in

A demulsifying agent is injected into the crude oil at the crude pumps common suction
header in the Unit. It is injected at the rate of 3-15 ppm on crude t'put and of 5-20 ppm on crude
while processing slop depending upon demulsifier quality. Demulsifier helps in faster
demulsification inside the desalter, thereby helping in faster removal of water injected for
dissolving salt. Demulsifier is injected with the help of pumps H-29/29A, which take suction from
demulsifier tank E-13. Injection rate of demulsifier is adjusted by varying the pump stroke.
Ammonia is received in the Unit in 40-kg cylinders. Ammoniacal water solution is prepared by
bubbling gaseous ammonia from cylinder through fresh water in ammonia tank. There are two

ammonia tanks. There are three dosing pumps available (both pumps to be used to maintain pH) for
injection, viz. H-30, H-30A and H-31. Ammonia is injected through rotameters into O/H vapour
lines of K-1 and K-2 so that E-1 and E-2 water pH remains in the range of 6.3 to 6.7.
Corrosion inhibitor is received in drum and unloaded into solution tank E-9 with off-loading
pump H-21A. In this vessel naphtha from E-2 is taken to prepare 1:4 ratio (by volume) solution of
Corrosion inhibitor /Naphtha and circulated for an hour with H-21B to achieve a homogenous
solution. Pumps H-21A/C/D are used for injecting Corrosion inhibitor into the overhead lines of
columns K-4, K-2, and K-1 respectively. Rotameters are provided at the pumps discharge lines to
measure injection rate. The rate can be adjusted by adjusting pump strokes. In case one of the
dosing pumps is out, flexibility is there to inject Corrosion inhibitor by any of other pumps i.e. one
pump shall dose into two columns.
The Key operating parameters for efficient monitoring and operation of this unit are:
While preparing the crude tanks sufficient time (>24hrs) is to be given for settling/draining
the free water & residual salts. High BS&W and shots of free water loads the desalter and might be
carried over to the column corroding the internals & creating upsets in the unit.

Also there is the problem associated the old crude tanks where the sludge has been
accumulated at the bottom & when the dip of crude tank is low it is being carried to the unit
causing disturbances in the unit. As the density of this sludge is quite different from crude, all the
flow & level controllers do not function properly. And if there is pockets of water the situation gets
worsened.
Some typical BS&W & Salt values for North Gujarat Crudes:
Desalter is the heart of a crude distillation unit. If the performance of desalter is not satisfactory
there can be the problem of water carryover along with crude & if the crude is high in chloride
content there can be corrosion problem in unit.
An experienced operating approach to be adopted for obtaining the optimum condition for a
particular desalter for a particular crude.

The efficiency of the desalter can be judged based on the oil content in the brine & Salt content of
Desalter outlet Crude.
4.9.3 Pre-Heat
Preheat is the very good parameter to see the heat recovery from the run down & circulating reflux
srtreams. It also helps in getting the idea of water carryover along with crude. If the preheat is
getting low there is chances of fouling inside exchangers & cleaning is recommended. A low preheat
increases the furnace load & so fuel consumption.
A particular temperature will give desired over flash & distillate recovery. If the temp is low it will
result in high RCO Yield & also low RCO temperature will lead to low preheat & whole distillate
yield pattern will be disturbed.
E1 & E2 chlorides is to be monitored to get the idea of desalter performance Also if the
Chlorides remain on higher side metallurgy to be upgraded to handle the corrosion problem.

In Au3 there has been the problem of high corrosion both in E1 & E2 boot waters. The chloride in
E1 reported to be in the range of (0-30 ppm) whereas in the E2 boot water it is as high as 120 ppm.
A high DM water injection rate will surely help in separating residual salts, but if the crude is high
in npathenic salts ( it is active in high temp range) the problem can be handled by suitable
metallurgy as this will not be neutralized by addition of ammonia.
Fe content of E1 & E2 is also a good indicator of corrosion & need to use corrosion inhibitor.

The steam supply to the Units/offsite facilities is through two 200 mm headers parallel to each
other. Every Unit is connected with each of these headers with an independent isolation valve, so
that any Unit can be fed from either of these headers any time.
Provision for isolating a complete header from the TPS end is also there and in such a case the
Units can be fed from one header only. The two supply lines from the two headers at each Unit join
to form a common inlet to the Unit, on which a battery limit valve is provided. In AU-3, on the
Unit side of the battery limit valve, a pressure controller 3PC3702 is provided to control the steam
supply pressure to the Unit. Additionally an orifice meter with flow recorder 3FI3701, an integrator
3FQ3701 and a low pressure alarm 3PSL3702 set at 6.0 kg/cm2 have been installed on this line.
Steam from the main line goes to the steam manifolds of F-1, F-2 and F-3 from where it gets further
distributed for burner oil atomisation, furnace coil purging, fire fighting, decoking, header box
purging etc. for each of the furnaces. Further, the steam line goes around the Unit. Block valves are
provided at different places for isolating different portions of the line.
Stripping steam to K-2, K-3A/B and K-3C is supplied at a pressure of 3 kg/cm2(g), which is
obtained by reducing the main supply steam pressure to 3 kg/cm2(g) through another pressure
controller 3PC3701. From this line tapping for utility steam is taken which caters to the
requirement of hose stations at column platforms, reflux drums, pump house, heat exchanger and
desalter area. In addition to this, connection for service steam to K2 top PSVs release is provided.
One tapping is also provided to supply steam-to-steam coils of VR burning surge drum. K-1, K-4, K-
5 (redundant), E-1, E-2 and E-4 are also getting steam from this. A separate tapping is taken from
the main supply header for stripping steam to K-1 which is obtained by reducing the main supply
steam pressure to around 3.5—4.0 kg/cm2 (g) through a pressure controller 3PC3205. Stripping
steam to strippers K-6A/B is also taken from this controller. In case of surplus steam generation in

6.1 DESALTER
Desalting is the accepted industry term for an electrostatic process for removing contaminants
such as salts, solids and water from crude oils at a refinery. Most of the contaminants in crude oil
are present in the oil as it is produced, although the oil can be contaminated with seawater when
tanker or barge transports it. Salts produced with crude oil are generally present as brine a solution
of salts in water. In addition, the crude oil contains solids such as finely divided sand particles, clays,

drilling mud, and rust and scale accumulated during production and transportation of the oil to the
refinery.
Before the crude oil is refined, these impurities must be removed for several reasons. Solid
contaminants can contribute to plugging of equipment and to scale formation. The more water
crude oil contains the greater the amount of heat that must be applied to raise the temperature of
the oil and water mixture to the temperature required for distillation, Chlorides, one of the types of
salts found in crude oil, can be responsible for the formation of hydrochloric acid at the
temperatures commonly encountered in a crude oil distillation tower. Hydrochloric acid is
extremely corrosive. Removal of contaminants in crude oil can increase distillation capacity, cut
down on refinery fuel costs, and reduce corrosion and plugging problems. For all these reasons,
desalting is the first and one of the most important stages in a refining operation.
Crude supplied from OM&S have water in emulsion form which cannot be separated at OM&S
by settling. This water contains calcium, magnesium and sodium salts in dissolved form. Calcium
and magnesium chlorides on heating get hydrolyzed and release HCl, whereas sodium salts will get
deposited on heat exchanger surface which will foul them. To remove these salts along with water,
desalting process is used. For this two desalters are provided in the unit.
Electrical desalter is installed as an integral part of a crude distillation unit. When crude oil
enters a refinery, it typically contains a small amount of water, approximately 0.1 to 0.5 volume
percent. The water remaining in the crude oil contains water-soluble salts, and the crude oil
contains insoluble particulate matter. To lower the level of impurities in the crude oil, water must
first be added to the crude. The desalting of the crude oil is a two-part process; the first consists of
forming an emulsion of crude oil and water and the second is a demulsification process in which the
emulsion of crude and water formed in the first part is broken by means of an electrical field and
demulsifier.

The salt occurs in the form of highly concentrated brine droplets dispersed throughout the
curde. These droplets are extremely small and are difficult to contact with the fresh water added to
crude. Desalting process consists of diluting this high salt content brine with incoming fresh water
to produce a low salt content water. After demulsification and settling, the BS&W which remains in
the crude is a diluted water instead of a concentrated brine. For contacting incoming water
effectively a fairly light emulsion must be formed. This is done by means of a mixing valve ahead of
electric desalter or injecting water at the front of preheat exchanger train. Obviously, the greater
the mixing or shearing action as well as higher the velocity, the greater is the pressure drop, the
samller is the particle size and higher and more stable is the emulsion.
The desalter is a pressure vessel fitted with electrodes inside it to create an electric field. The
crude water emulsion enters the desalter in the bottom section of the vessel through an inlet
distributor to ensure uniform distribution over entire cross section and also to attain low velocity
condition. A large header, known as outlet crude collector is mounted inside the vessel at top
portion and extends over the entire length. This header is connected to the external withdrawal
header, for drawing off the desalted crude. The water draw off piping is a header at the bottom of
the vessel and extends over the entire length. It is connected to the effluent drain header outside
the desalter vessel.

At times, there can be sludge build up at the bottom of the vessel. A header with nozzles has
been provided at the bottom for creating turbulence by pumping water. Water mixed with sludge
can be drained out through a drain line. Steam also can be used in place of water for the above
purpose. This process is called desludging. It can be continuous as in AU-3 or can be done
intermittently also. Desludging is dealt under separate heading.The electrode system is the heart of
desalter. These electrodes are suspended from special suspension insulators, one electrode being
immediately above the other so that an electric field is created in the gap between the electrodes.
The lower row of electordes is connected to 18KV supply while top row of electrode is securely
earthed. Both old and new desalters in AU-3 operate on single phase supply.
As the crude oil enters the unit, it is injected with a predetermined dosage of a chemical called
demulsifier that helps in subsequent breaking of emulsion in the electric field inside desalter. Crude
after passing through a number of exchangers, attains a temperature of around 130OC and at this
point water is injected into the crude at the predetermined rate, the mixture is passed through the
mixing valve (emulsifying valve) and is fed into the desalter. The water for the above injection
should contain minimum salt, and hence DM water /Stripping water (exit AU4) & boot w from E-1
and E-2 is used for this purpose. This water is received in storage tank E-12 and any make up
required is done with DM water for which a permanent connection with the tank is provided.
DMW make-up is done under 3LC3109 taken from TPS. Water from this tank is pumped with
pump H-28/28A/P-231C and heated in E-231A/B/C and E-313 before injecting into the crude line
up-stream of the mixing valve.
Water separated in the desalter will settle down and will be drained out from bottom through
the interface level control valve. This water after exchanging heat with DM water is routed to a
flash drum E-19, open to the atmosphere, where water vapours are vented out and the water is
drained into the OWS system. A unit switch is provided through which supply to desalter can be
put on or off. A pilot lamp is provided which glows steadily till the current is normal and its
intensity gets reduced once current exceeds 150 amps. Low-level magnetic switch is provided on

reduced due to inability to contact all the droplets of high BS&W crude. If too much water is
present, desalter may shut out or current will rise to the point where operation becomes expensive.
It is normally added just upstream of the mixing valve. Some refineries divide the wash water
injection, locating one entry point (@ 1%) ahead of the preheat train, to help keep this clean. In
case salt content is high, provision is there to inject water at inlet or outlet of E-101 to increase
contact time. The quality of the water used is of course important particularly when caustic is
added. Caustic addition to hard water will cause precipitation of salt, which may plug up lines and
be of considerable trouble. Normally DM water is used. Most of refineries use stripped sour water.
Normally water injection rate is varied from 2 to 6% of crude to get required degree of desalting.
Once the optimum rate is adjusted, it is not changed until crude quality and mix is changed. During
slop processing water rate is reduced due to high ingress of water along with slop oil.
6.1.3.5 TEMPERATURE
In order to produce a good emulsion the viscosity of the crude oil must be kept below 40 cSt.
This means that sufficient temperature must be maintained to get a low viscosity of crude. Increased
temperature assists water settling when oil viscosity and density are as low as possible. However, oil
conductivity generally increases with temperature which may give some cause for concern when an
alarming rise in amperage is observed. So normally most desalters are operated in the range of 120 -
140 0C.
6.1.3.6 PRESSURE
Pressure is not an operating variable except that the pressure should be high enough to prevent
vaporization within the desalter. Operating pressure of 2 to 3 kg/cm2 above the vaporization
pressure at a given temperature is normal.

energy is controlled by the "Mixing Valve". Higher the pressure drop across the mixing valve, more
thorough is the mixing.
As the pressure drop is first increased, good desalting is quickly obtained, for a long period of
increased pressure drop no appreciable change in the salt content of the effluent is noticed, then a
point is finally reached where the effluent salt content will suddenly drop to practically zero. There
will be another point where slight increase in pressure drop will suddenly raise the salt content of
the effluent crude oils to almost the original value. BS&W of the crude increases gradually as the
pressure drop is increased until a limiting value is reached when the BS&W curve will turn
abruptly upward. Average optimum pressure drop through mixing valve is approximately 0.5 to
1.0Kg/cm2(g). In case of slop processing it may be required to reduce pressure drop as slop contains
sludge and solids, which may produce tight emulsion.

A good demulsification calls for the maintenance of a high voltage across the electrodes. As the
conductivity of the fluid flowing between the electrodes increases, the current flow across the
electrodes will also increase and the voltage will drop. Generally this drop in voltage will result in
poor demulsification. When the conductivity of this becomes so great the voltage drops below
approximately 200 volts on the primary circuit, the unit will fail to break the emulsion and the
voltage may rapidly drop further to the point where the overload will kick out and shut the desalter
down.
There are various factors that affect the conductivity of the flowing fluid. The type of crude is
one variable. The temperature of the crude water mix will also have a marked effect on
conductivity. As the temperature increases, the conductivity increases. Thus from this stand point it
is desirable to operate at as low a temperature as possible.
The biggest factor affecting conductivity is the percentage of water. Increase in water
percentage, increases conductivity until it reaches a point where the electrode will short out.
Voltage required for good desalting in approximately 3000 volts per inch of distance between
electrodes. This high voltage is obtained by means of transformers. Fluctuations in voltage are
usually due to localized appearance of water or emulsion and are generally not serious.

pH has a big effect on conductivity. The conductivity becomes high at either high or low value
of pH. For this reason it is generally desirable to operate in the middle range. An operating range of
pH from 6.5 to 8.5 is acceptable. In the high pH range it has been noted that the sodium
naphthenates formed by reaction of caustic and naphthenic acids in crude act as emulsion stabilizers
and the emulsion becomes very hard to break. During 2000 revamp caustic addition lines were
removed and caustic addition is discontinued. Presently Caustic is added to crude after desalter
outlet.
Invariably sludge will form at the water oil interface and if it is not removed, the sludge layer
will gradually build up until it finally reaches the electrodes and cause trouble. Some desalters have
skimming lines of removing the sludge periodically. Sludge or solids have a tendency to build up at
the bottom of the desalter. Some refiners have installed steam in the bottom of the desalter with the
holes facing the bottom of the vessel. Periodically steam is introduced through the drain out with
the desalter effluent water.
A Petreco/Baker Process desalting system mixes wash water (water low in contaminants) into
crude oil in a special mixing valve that disperses the water in extremely small droplets. This
intimate mixing of water and oil causes fresh water droplets to contact brine droplets and various
water-soluble impurities in the oil. The water and oil mixture is piped into the desalter vessel where
the mixture is metered out at a low velocity into an electrical field. The electrical field causes the oil
and water to separate. The droplets of wash water (now combined with droplets of brine) form large
drops that are separated from the crude oil by high voltage electricity and the force of gravity. This
process is called electrostatic coalescence. If the wash water were not added, the total population of

water droplets in the crude oil would not be sufficient for much coalescence (combining) of water
droplets to occur. The addition of wash water to the crude oil increases the total water volume in
the crude and permits removal of contaminants through electrostatic coalescence of the water
droplets.
A chemical (demulsifier) can be added to the crude oil charge ahead of the mixing valve,
preferably at the raw crude charge pump suction. If this arrangement is not convenient, then the
demulsifier should be added at a selected point ahead of the preheat exchangers. The demulsifier
helps reduce the amount of oil entrained (trapped) in the water, thus reducing the amount of oil
carried out of the desalter with the effluent water. The demulsifier may also be added to the crude
charge to aid in separating the dispersed water droplets from the crude oil.
Ahead of the desalter vessel, wash water is added to the incoming crude oil stream. The crude
oil and water mixture passes through a special mixing valve before it enters the desalter vessel. The
mixing valve creates an emulsion. Water is thus dispersed throughout the crude oil in extremely
small droplets by this emulsifying action. Once the water and oil are mixed, the incoming crude oil
stream enters the bottom of the desalter vessel, flows through a riser pipe, and then into the
distributors. The distributors are responsible for metering the crude oil at a uniform flow rate
throughout each high voltage electrical field., One electrical field is produced by the lower and
middle electrodes inside the desalter vessel, and the other produced by the middle and upper
electrodes.
Grids of metal bars and rods make up the electrodes. The high potential gradient for the electric
field is furnished by power units installed externally on top of the desalter vessel. When crude oil
enters the two electrical fields, the electrical charges in each water droplet are separated. That is,

the negative charges concentrate to one end of the droplet and the positive charges to the other end.
Each droplet becomes an induced dipole – a particle carrying two equal but possible electrical
charges, or electrical poles.
The positive end of each water droplet is attracted to the opposite, or negative pole in the
electrical field that is acting on the water droplet. Each negative end of each water droplet is
attracted to the positive pole in the electrical field.
Since the electrical charges in each droplet are separated, the negative poles of droplets are
attracted to the positive poles of other droplets. Almost immediately after the crude oil enters an
electrical field, the water droplets begin to combine, or coalesce, as opposite electrical charges
attract one another.
The coalescing action created by the attraction of the water droplets to one another creates
larger and larger droplets, until finally, water drops are large enough to fall out of the crude oil by
the force of gravity. Large droplets fall through the crude oil and into the bottom of the desalter
vessel. When the desalter is in operation, the bottom one-third to one-half of the vessel is filled
with water.
An interface controller connected to a displacer at the oil/water interface controls the rate at
which the water leaves the desalter vessel in order to maintain a water level that meets operating
specifications. Water exits the desalter through an effluent water disposal line. Treated oil exits the
desalter vessel through a collector pipe near the top of the vessel.
The PETRECO Bilectric® desalter was designed following considerable research and many years
of varied operational experience. The design was developed to achieve a more efficient utilization of
the interior volume within the desalting vessel. This is accomplished by establishing laminar
horizontal flow between the electrodes, with water coalescence occurring in the electrical treating
field, then vertical water separation from the crude. As a result the falling water has less resistance
to overcome than in a low velocity design. After separation, in a low velocity unit, water must
displace the rising crude to achieve separation. This is much less of a factor in the Bilectric desalter.
The principle of treating the emulsion between energized electrodes using horizontal fluid flow
with vertical water separation has been used for many years in several PETRECO designs.
Water separated from the crude enters the water phase in a “rain like” fashion. This minimizes
turbulence in the water phase and is helpful in improving effluent water quality by providing
“Quiescent Zone” water phase residence time in the vessel.
It is to be noted that the crude separated from the water between the center and lower
electrodes must pass through the upper electrode in a converging countercurrent flow with the
separating water from the upper set of electrodes. This creates a second washing zone for half the
feed in the unit in a strong electrical field. We believe this helps improve filterable solids removal
from the crude. In a low velocity design a 50-60% filterable solids removal rate is generally
considered acceptable.
With lighter crudes the theoretical doubling of crude capacity is achieving with this design.
With heavier feeds this theoretical value decreases slightly. For purposes of design, we use a value
of 1.75 as opposed to 2.00 to rate the capacity of the unit as compared to a Low Velocity design
(New Desalter). This is achievable without needing to increase the length of the vessel requirements
for heavy oils.

B. OUTLET COLLECTOR
The collector is an internal pipe located at the top of the vessel, above the electrodes and near
the crown of the vessel. This pipe collects clean, treated oil, which exists the vessel through this

C. ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY
The Bilectric Desalter uses two electrical fields to desalt crude oil. Three electrodes create the
two fields. Each electrode is constructed of bars and a framework of rods. The electrodes are
energized by power units installed external to the vessel. The electrodes must be installed level and
must remain level to insure uniform voltage between them.
D. SUPPORT INSULATORS
The electrodes are suspended from the vessel by support insulators. These insulators are attached
to brackets at the top of the vessel. The insulators are fabricated of solid, 100 percent virgin,
electrical grade Teflon.
E. ENTRANCE BUSHINGS
High voltage electricity is transmitted from a transformer outside the desalter vessel through an
electrical conductor (wire) enclosed in conduit and then through a specially designed high voltage
bushing into the vessel. One bushing is required for each power unit. An oil-filled pipe conduit
carries the high voltage conductor from the power unit to a flanged connection at the top of the
desalter vessel. At the flanged connection, the high voltage conductor enters the insulating Teflon
entrance bushing which insulates the conductor and isolates it from other desalter equipment until
the conductor connects to a contactor. The contactor makes physical and electrical contact with the
electrode assembly in the vessel.

The meterpanel provides a point for engaging or disengaging the electrical supply that energizes
the desalter power units. The meterpanel houses one voltmeter and one ammeter for each power
unit, and an Off/On pushbutton for applying electrical power to the power units. The customer
must provide a remote circuit breaker in line ahead of the meterpanel.
3. VENT LINE
The vent line permits purging the vessel of all air and/or gas when the desalter is placed in
operation. The vent line is opened to a visible sewer so an operator can determine where the vessel
is liquid full. If the desalter is to be shutdown, the vent line must be opened to relieve the vacuum
inside the vessel as the vessel is pumped out.
4. RELIEF VALVE
A relief valve must be installed at the desalter by the customer to protect the vessel from
excessive pressure. The valve is normally set to open at a pressure less than the vessel design
pressure. The discharge from this valve is piped to a blow-down drum, closed sewer or other
disposal site.

optimum pressure drop required for creating a water-in-oil emulsion in a given crude oil must be
determined by some experimentation. In general, a (1.5 - 1.75 kg/cm2) pressure drop is the
maximum required. Presently both the desalters in AU3 are being operated at 1- 1.1 kg/cm2.

A float mechanism mounted on top of the vessel rises or falls with the level of oil in the desalter
vessel. If the level of oil in the desalter falls below the full operating level, the float switch
disengages power to the electrode zone.
During commissioning, it is desirable to bring the unit on stream with the desalter. The steps are
as follows :
1.Drain out any possible water accumulation in the desalter before admitting oil.
2.Close the desalter O/L valve and open the vent valve to expel air.
3.Admit crude slowly into the desalter by opening desalter crude I/L valve.
When the desalter vessel is full with crude oil and the air has been expelled, close the vent
valve. Settle the water and drain it After draining water, open the O/L valve slowly. Once the
flow through the desalter is established, slowly close the bypass valve. When the crude oil in the
desalter reaches the required temperature, energize the desalter.
If the meters show good voltage and low amps, start water and demulsifier injections keeping
~1.0 kg/cm2 pressure drop across mixing valve.
Key Point: During filling up of the vessel, do not energize the desalter to avoid any accident.

During operation, some sludges get carried over with the crude from storage tanks at Crude
Control and get settled at the desalter bottom. Excessive build-up of this sludges interferes with
interface level control of desalter resulting in improper separation of water from crude and carry
over of emulsion/oil into OW&S causing recovery problem in Effluent Treatment Plant. The aim of
desalter desludging is to remove the accumulated sludge over a period from vessel.
For desludging two principal methods are used:
1. Continuous desludging
2. Intermittent desludging
In continuous desludging, a part of the desalter brine is recirculated through a desludging pump
P-231 A/B. The re-circulated brine does not allow the sludge to settle at the bottom of the desalter
by the churning effect of the re-circulated water. Thus it helps in achieving the goal of desludging.
The desludging water injection rate is adjusted by seeing the interface level and the desalter current.
Desludging is done for 12 hours in Desalter-I (Old Desalter) and in Desalter-II (New Desalter) for
the next 12 hours.
In this process sludge is allowed to settle for some days and then the sludge is removed once or
twice a week as per requirement. The method of desludging is described below :

1. Inform ETP personnel about duration and starting time of desludging operation. This will
enable ETP personnel to take remedial measures at their end, particularly during the period of
excessive oil effluent likely to be received during desludging.
2. Stop water injection to desalter and bring down the water interface level in desalter upto 1st try
line point. Draining of water upto 1st try line can be either through regular interface control
valve or if required through bottom desludging line.
3. Stop demulsifier injection
4. Commission water to desalter through desludging line and build up interface water level in
desalter up to 3rd try line point. It is expected that sludge settled at the bottom will get
desludged due to force of water jets introduced for desludging purpose.
5. Stop water injection and drain sludge plus water from bottom drain line upto 1st try line point.
6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 three times in the same sequence
7. Introduce water through desludging line and continue desludging at a controlled rate.
8. Normalize desalter operation with demulsifier and water injection

the mixing valve is adjusted to get the required Delta p.
3. AMMETER
The ammeter reading shows the current consumption in the desalter. Higher the ammeter
reading, higher is the water carryover along with crude. At certain high valuel of current trips the
desalter.
4. LDIC
The most important instrumentation in the desalter is the LDIC, which maintain the interface
level of the desalter by controlling the brine discharge from the desalter. LDIC dictates the actual
performance of the desalter efficiently and the performance of the desalter is satisfactory, then the
oil content in the brine should be very less. If oil content in the brine is high the performance and
dosage of the demulsifier is to be checked and the desalter operating parameters are to adjust.
To monitor the performance of the desalter following laboratory test are required :
- Density of the crude
- BS&W of the crude
- Salt content of the crude inlet
- Salt content of the crude outlet
- Oil content in the brine

Salt Content
Salt content of the crude inlet and outlet give the idea of the performance of the desalters.
This also indicates the requirement of the water injection for washing of the salts. Salt content is
normally reported as pounds salts measured as Sodium Chloride, per thousand barrels of oil (PTB).
The range of salt content generally varies from 100 PTB to 200 PTB.
In the desalter, the chemical demulsifier is used to break up the emulsion and if the
demulsifier works. There should not be any oil carryover in the brine. A oil carry over of < 100 ppm
is expected for a normal working desalter.
Furnace F-1 and F-2 are of single cell horizontal tube, cabin type with convection and radiation

In natural draft operation, air is sucked inside by the draft effect of stack. As heat recovery is not
taking place furnace efficiency remains on lower side (80%) . In forced draft operation FD fan
supplies combustion air at ambient temperature. Due to higher draft available at plennum chamber
burner performance improves. In balanced draft operation FD & ID fans remain on line and heat
recovery from flue gases takes place. This improves furnace efficiency (90%).
After Unit is stabilised, change furnace operation from natural draft to balanced draft. For this
following procedure is to be followed :
1. Ensure dampers HC-1803, HC-1805 at APH inlet and outlet, HC-1802 and HC-

The main objective of this scheme is to balance the air and fuel required to maintain the coil
outlet temperature at the desired level as dictated by TIC's and at the same time keeping the excess
air at a safe minimum level so as to maximise the heater efficiency. The main emphasis is on the
safety of the heater i. E. for a small interval of time a higher level of excess air is tolerated but not
deficiency of air. This is achieved by an interlock known as LEAD LAG SYSTEM.
The main function of the system is to increase air flow first and then increasing fuel flow
whenever a fuel increase is desired either because of higher level of COT or because of higher level
of throughput etc. In same way when fuel demand is loss fuel will be first decreased and then air
flow will be decreased. Combustion control scheme is an inter-link of the following control loops to
achieve the above-said objective :
1. F-1 & F-2 coil outlet temperature controllers 3TC3312 & 3TC3418
2. Total air flow controller 3FC3801
3. F-2 & F-1 air flow controller 3FC3802 & 3FC3803
4. F-1 & F-2 fuel oil pressure controllers, 3PC3301 & 3PC3417
5. F-1 & F-2 fuel gas flow controllers, 3FC3303 & 3FC3411

(b) From air flow actual fuel that can be safely fired will be computed.
(c) From the actual fuel oil and fuel gas flows air required for combustion will be computed.
Air demand as per step (a) and (c) will be compared and higher will be selected. This value will
be trimmed properly by flue gases O2 analyser controller AIC depending on the Oxygen available in
flue gases. The trimmer out put will adjust the measured variation (air flow) in such a way that
excess air level of both the furnaces will be in the desired level. Fuel demand as per step (a) and (b)
will be compared and lower one will be selected and passed on to either fuel oil PIC or fuel gas FIC
whichever is on temperature control as selected by selector switches.
The interlock circuit amongst certain instruments in the APH circuit, combustion control
circuit and the furnaces, ensure automatic operation of some equipments in contingency situations,
ensuring safety of equipments and personnel and also tries to reduce the down-time of the Unit by
switching over to Forced Draft or Natural Draft from the Balanced Draft operating mode.

the rate of heating is gradual so that there is no spalling or cracking of refractory due to sudden
vaporisation of moisture from the refractory.
Generally 3/5 days dry out cycle is required and it depends on extent of moisture in the
refractory. If refractory is excessively wet, then pilots only should be lit for a day or two to remove
excess moisture. During the dry out cycle moisture in refractory close to the flame evaporates
within a short time. However, moisture inside refractory elsewhere is gradually heated and
evaporated. Therefore, heater casing temperature will rise gradually to about 100 Deg. C. This
indicates that moisture next to the shell is being evaporated gradually. After this shell temperature
will drop to normal.
During the dry out operation, it is necessary to steam through all process tubes to prevent over
heating of the tubes. The steam is to be vented out through the decoking pot. A close watch on skin
temperature is to be kept and steam rate to be adjusted to keep skin temperature within safe limit
during dry out burners are to be rotated for uniform heating.
1. Open stack damper wide. Open all burner registers and peep holes. Allow refractory
to dry under natural draft for 24 hours.
2. If refractory is excessively wet, light only pilot gas burners and allow refractory to
dry out for a day or two.
3. Start firing the heater as per standard procedure.
4. Raise fire box temperature @ 25 0C/hr upto 120 0C. Hold the temp. for 24 hours.
5. Raise fore box temperature @ 25 0C/hr upto 200 0C and hold for 24 hours.
6. Introduce steam through the tubes at 200 0C after making sure that no condensate is
present.
7. After 4 hours of achieving 200 0C temp. start ID fan, if refractory work is carried out
in flue gas duct or APH.

Last five tubes of furnace F-1 and F-2 and transfer lines of both furnaces are of SS316L material.
Passivation is required to prevent stress corrosion cracking of these due to chloride and polythionic
acid attack. This is done by (i ) Preventing air ingress into the system by blanketing the system with
inert gas, (ii) Neutralise the SS316L surface with a solution of Na2CO3/ NaNO3 so that a film of
solution is left on the surface. This film will neutralise any polythionic acids which are formed. The
details of the procedure are given below :
1. Prior to shutdown inform FPU-1 to prepare 85M3 solution of 2% sodium carbonate and 0.5%
sodium nitrate (1734 kg sodium carbonate + 435 kg sodium nitrate).
2. Flush the furnace coils and transfer lines with gas oil and then with steam thoroughly keeping
pilot burners and a small gas burner on as per normal procedure. Steaming is to be continued till
clear steam comes from the vent provided at column K-2 feed entry keeping condenser inlet
B/Vs closed.
3. Once dry steam starts coming out ( I ) cut off furnace firing (ii) stop steaming (iii) introduce
inert gas to displace steam from the coils and transfer lines.

at K-2 feed entry ( Φ=22" ) ex F-1 and F-2 ( and F-3 combined ) keeping inert gas supply on.
Stop inert gas purging once blinding job is over.
5. Start filling passivation solution in furnace coils through booster pump H-8A keeping vents on
F-1 & F-2 transfer lines ( combined with F-3 transfer line ) to K-2 open.
6. Once chemical solution starts coming out from the high point vent, stop pump at FPU-1 and
AU-3 and allow the soaking time of 4 hours.
7. Drain the solution to OWS after informing CETP.
The principal mechanisms of decoking with steam and air are spalling and burning. During the
spalling period steam is admitted to furnace tubes at high temperature with furnace firing on. The
comparatively cooler steam, coils and thermally shocks the coke causing it to crack and break away
from the tube surfaces. The broken particles are picked up by the high velocity steam and scour the
remaining surfaces. As much as 80-90% of the coke can be removed by spalling alone.
The coke burning consists of injecting both steam and air simultaneously into the coil while the
furnace is fired at a higher rate. The residual coke after spalling is burnt by the air. Burning
effectively removes all coke deposits but requires close scrutiny to prevent overheating of furnace
tubes.
The general description of the procedure in sequence of operation is as follows :
i. After shutting down, steaming out and passivation of heater coils and transfer lines, reverse
the swing elbows at heater inlet and outlet to decoking position.

ix. Inspect the flames frequently. If any are unsatisfactory or go out, shut off the fuel, replace
the oil gun with a clean one and re-ignite.
Take the heater TIC out of service and put the fuel on manual pressure control. As the feed rate to
the unit associated with the heater is reduced to the specified level, reduce the number of main
burners in service so that the desired temperature is maintained and fuel supply pressure does not
fall below flame stability limit The shutdown of burners should be staggered so that the remaining
burners are spaced to give even firing and heat distribution through out the fire box.
KEY POINT
The heater must not be left unattended during this period and checks to be made frequently to
ensure that pilot burners remain alight and burner firing conditions are satisfactory.

The Crude Heater 410-F03 is a vertical cylindrical type heater with a horizontal overhead
convection section and a top mounted stack.
The feed enters the convection section in a two pass arrangement. The convection section has
six tubes per row. The upper part consists of nine rows of CS studded tubes of P5 material. The
bottom part has three rows of bare tubes of P5 material, which serves as shock tubes.
The fluid enters the radiant section via external located cross-overs. Both passes enter the
radiant at one side. In the radiant section fifty tubes of P5 material and ten tubes of SS316L material
are arranged along the perimeter. Each pass traverses along one half of the perimeter. The last five

tubes of each pass are of SS316L material. Opposite of the inlets the fluid leaves the radiant section.
The two passes are combined and routed via a transfer line to column K-2.
Six skin-thermocouples are installed at each process pass. Four pieces are located at the radiant
tubes at equal spaced distances and two pieces are located at the shock tubes in the convection
section.
Six forced draft low-NOx burners are installed in the radiant floor for upwards firing. The
burners can be operated on both fuel gas and fuel oil or a combination of these.
A plate type Air Pre-Heater APEXTM is installed to regain the heat from the flue gas for pre-
heating the combustion air. The air pre-heater consists of four blocks in vertical direction arranged.
The flue gas enters the APEXTM at the top and flows downwards through three block of CS material
and one bottom block of enamel coated material. The combustion air enters the APEXTM sideways at
the bottom block and flows in cross-flow to the flue gas through the bottom block. The air is then
routed via a return bend to the next block for again a cross-flow heat exchange. The combustion air
leaves the top block sideways.
The APEXTM contains water wash facilities to clean the bottom block at a shutdown period. Two
skin-thermocouples are installed to monitor the metal temperature of the CS block above the
enamel coated block at the bottom.
The convection section has two rows of three soot-blowers for steam blowing the convection
tubes.
The stack at the top of the convection section has a multi-blade actuator controller damper,
which separates the flue gas ex convection and flue gas return from the air pre-heater. On the loss
of the induced draft fan, the heater can operate on forced draft. The damper will be operated to

monitored during varying load conditions of the three heaters.
The heater has six burners installed. As many burners as possible should be brought into

that the burners are operated in such a way that they provide equal heat pick-up into the process
coils. Mal-distribution of heat, causing high metal temperatures and/or distortion of the coils, is to
be avoided.
When combination firing is applied, it is recommended to operate each burner at the same
oil/gas ratio to assure equal heat distribution. If the quantity of one fuel is not sufficient to fire all
burners at the same ratio, it is recommended to route this fuel to part of the burners in a
symmetrical way. This type of firing should be closely monitored and evaluated on equal heat
distribution via the burner performance curves and/or flame dimensions.
The burners are low-NOx type by means of staged air supply. The total air is divided into two
channels inside the burner wind box. Each channel contains an air damper. The individual setting
of these dampers should be done so that complete combustion takes place with low-NOx
production. Minor modifications to these settings can be permitted in the following cases :
a. Minimizing the NOx production. Adjustments may lead to poor flame performance. All
burners should have the same flame pattern.
b. Minimizing deviations in air supply during normal operation between the burners by
trimming burners’ dampers. The ratio between the two damper settings should be
maintained at all times.
c. If one or more burners are shut off for a longer period due to maintenance or turndown
conditions, it is advised to keep all burners at low firing instead of a few burners at higher
firing rate.
It is strongly advised to avoid frequent modifications to the burner dampers. The control of the
air supply is arranged at the FD-fans. If the damper settings are established at start-up then no
further modifications are required at a continuous operation. Review may only be necessary if the
heater operation is changed significantly.
The heater can be operated in forced draft mode. In that case the ID-fan is out of operation. The
FD-fans will supply the cold combustion air via the air pre-heater bypass to the burners. It is
recommended to close the guillotines at the stack to cut the flue gases to/from the air pre-heater to
avoid condensation effects. Also the shut-off plates/guillotines at the combustion air inlet/outlet
should be closed to avoid high cool down rates.

Operation of the guillotines should be performed carefully. In order to avoid high pressure
differentials over the APEXTM internals, following rules should be adhered to:
a. The guillotine in the combustion air duct downstream the APEXTM should always be opened
first.
b. The guillotine in the combustion air duct upstream the APEXTM should always be closed first.
c. Both guillotines in either air or flue gases duct should be operated at all times.
d. The combustion air by-pass should be fully opened.
The heater is designed for firing Sulfur containing fuels. Two types of fuel oil are envisaged in
the design, which may contain up to 1 %wt of sulfur. Also firing of two types of fuel gas are
foreseen. One type contains up to 2.0 % vol of H2S, which is equivalent to 0.13 % vol SOx in the
flue gases. The SOx in the flue gases determines the dew point temperature at which H2SO4 is
possibly formed. It is strongly advised to regularly check the SOx content of the flue gas.
Particularly when a fuel type switch is to be executed. In case the SOx level exceeds the design
value then adaptation of the APEXTM operation is required to assure sufficient temperature margin
towards this dew point temperature
For start-up it is strongly recommended to use sulfur free fuel to allow warm-up of the
equipment to a level above the dew point without a risk for acid formation. When operating
conditions are established, then a switch to one of the design fuels can be implemented. For the
dry-out procedure it is mandatory to use sulfur-free fuels due to the large quantities of water in the
system at low operating temperatures.
The installed plate type air pre-heater APEXTM has a number of mechanical constraints, which
should not be violated. The installed instrumentation requires regular maintenance to assure
reliable information.

The design of the APEXTM includes a 500C margin on the flue gases inlet temperature to cope
for fouling of the convection tubes in the heater. It is expected that at start-up rather lower flue gas
temperatures are present at the APEXTM flue gas inlet. However the flue gases outlet temperature
should be maintained at 1750C. For this reason more combustion air should be routed to the by-pass
duct to keep the metal temperature above the constraint value.
Two forced draft fans are installed for the supply of the combustion air. The fan design includes
at 120% over design factor at a 120% heater design. It should be determined in practice, if at the
specified normal heater conditions both fans and its inlet vane control will operate satisfactory.
1. Before the heaters are started up the following general checks shall be performed.
2. Check and review free movement and clearance provisions for all parts subject to thermal
expansion, heater tubing, piping, ducts, expansion joints, etc.
3. Check for interference between piping and ducting with structural members or platforms.
4. Check that the refractory surfaces are in good condition and are correctly installed with
expansion gaps. It should especially be checked that the expansion gaps between the
firebricks in the floor are unobstructed.
5. Ensure that all debris has been removed from the heater floor, ducting, expansion joints,
tube guides. Inspect the inside of flue gas collector and stack for any construction materials
left there, on the finned coils or on the damper.
6. Check the burners to ensure that the gas spuds and oil guns are all correctly positioned and
orientated and that no debris is left in the burner tips.
7. Check that the burner air dampers can be opened and shut properly and will move freely.
Leave them in fully open position.

cooling medium should be checked against the required process duty at the dry-out
procedure. It is strongly advised to contact the process designer to review the proposed
cooling method. Introduction of the fluid may commence at the appropriate time during
dry-out procedure or at the start pending local conditions.
Before being put into service, the refractory lining of the heater, stack and flue gas ducting shall
be thoroughly dried out to remove the free and the crystal bond water in the concretes, by slow
evaporation. This operation should be scheduled in such a way that there is a minimum of delay
between its completion and the initial start-up of the heater.
The dry-out procedure normally takes approximately four to five days, during which the firing
rate should be slowly raised to produce a gradual temperature increase in the refractory. This
curve should be followed in general, but should possibly be adapted to local conditions and the
availability of the resources. The procedure described below should be used as a guide, which is
based on experiences in the field.
It is mandatory to use sulfur-free fuels for the dry-out procedure. The procedure includes long
periods of low temperature operation. Large quantities of water have to be removed from the
system. Presence of SO2 in the flue gas should be minimized to avoid formation of H2SO4 at the cold
regions in the heater and flue gas ducting.
During dry-out the following temperatures shall be measured and recorded:
a. The flue gas temperature at the air preheater outlet.
b. The flue gas temperature at arch level.
c. The flue gas temperature above the convection section.
d. The flue gas temperature at the stack.
e. The tube skin temperatures at the radiant tubes at APEXTM.

The burners should be operated with large excess of combustion air, compatible with good flame
stability. This will ensure low flame temperatures so that no excessive heat rate is applied to either
tubes or refractory. The large flue gas quantity is necessary to carry away the water vapor
generated from the moisture that was necessary for the cements hydraulic setting. Later, at higher
temperatures, sintering may take place.
For even heat distribution the burners used shall be selected in symmetrical pattern. The flue
gas and tubewall temperature readings listed above will give some indication of uneven
temperature/heat release levels.
Once commenced, the heating-up procedure should not be stopped or interrupted. In case of
firing failure, etc., the lining must be kept warm by stopping the forced and induced draft fans or
closing the burner air dampers and by ensuring that the stack damper is closed. When cooling
down cannot be avoided, a re-start must be carried out in accordance with a heat-up rate as defined
at dry-out start.
All preparation steps preceding the dry-out shall be performed in accordance with the start-up
procedure (see section 5.3.6/A—Preparations and Venting)
The introduction of protective fluid in the tubes is required prior to proceed to higher
temperature levels. It is very important to watch the tube skin thermocouples closely during the
dry-out period. The material constraints of the installed tubes should not be superseded. Distortion
and/or bending of the tubes may be resulting.
If cooling medium is present in the tubes, temperature at the arch can be raised at a rate not
beyond 300C per hour. Monitor the air pre-heater performance and verify the functioning of
damper in the by-pass air duct. Flue gas outlet temperatures should remain in the 175---1850C
temperature range.
Raise the arch temperature till 650---7000C. All burners should be in operation. Keep the arch
temperature at 7000C during 10 hours.

Check regularly the flame performance to assure an equal heat distribution to the tubes. Verify
if all burners receive equal amounts of air for proper combustion.
The excees air levels can be reduced to the design levels. The following table provides the data
based on the design fuels.
The O2 analyzer should be monitored to achieve above values. Reduction of excess air levels
should be performed at small steps and sufficient large settling times. The performance of the
flames should be monitored closely to keep all flames in the same shape. If a CO analyzer is
available, it is advised to check the CO content of the flue gas to assure each burner has full
combustion conditions.
The dry-out heating procedure is completed after the firing at the 7000C level.
Should start-up not immediately follow the above sequences, reduce the burner heat release to
allow the furnace to cool down to ambient temperature at a rate not exceeding 500C per hour.
During the next start-up of the heater the temperature can be raised with 300C per hour to the
operating temperature. Once the temperature has been at operating level for 72 hours, the heater is
fully dried out. For subsequent restarts a temperature increase of 500C per hour can be used.
The cooling fluid flow through the coil can be cut when the flue gas temperature at the arch is
cooled below 3000C.
On reaching ambient temperature after dry out, it is recommended to inspect the refractory.
Ensure that the heater is appropriately ventilated before entering. Confirm the absence of

combustible gases. Carry out all procedures required by the Plant Operating Practices and
applicable safety regulations.
A network of small cracks may appear in the castable. Only cracks exceeding 6 mm or broken-
off parts need to be repaired, in accordance with ABB Lummus Heat Transfer B. V. approved
repair procedure.
Usually it is necessary to circulate protective, cooling fluid through each coil during the later
stages of the procedure to prevent overheating. This fluid may be inert gas (e.g. nitrogen), a
hydrocarbon or steam, if not prohibited for plant safety reasons.
The initial dry-out by means of air can be performed by testing the installed fans for a couple of
hours.
The dry-out procedure is preferably started at forced draft operation. The ID-fan and APH are
not in operation in that case. The combustion air is routed via the air pre-heater by-pass duct to the
burners. The stack damper is fully open until the draft in the heater is established at the negative
pressure of 3 - 5 mmH2O at arch level. In the initial phase of the dry large quantities of water vapor
are removed from the radiant and convection section. Because the flue gas ducting to/from the air
pre-heater is still below the water dew point, condensation may take place in these ducting in case
of balanced draft operation. At forced draft operation the water vapor is directly disposed via the
stack to atmosphere.
Light the pilot flames in accordance with section 5.3.6/B—Start-Up Of Pilot Burners.
When all pilot flames are on, ignite one of the main burners initially on an approximate 30%
heat release level (in accordance with section 5.3.6/C—Igniting The Main Burners On Fuel Gas). If
the flame is established, slowly decrease the firing rate to minimum liberation at high excess air
rate.

Raise the furnace flue gas temperature at arch level gradually, at a rate not exceeding 200C per
hour till 110-1200C.
Keep the arch temperature at 110-1200C during 16 hours.
It is recommended that the burners should be fired in rotation (symmetrically) during the dry-
out cycle. In this way every burner can be commissioned and each part of the heater will be
exposed equally.
After this first holding time and after all signs of vaporization have disappeared, arch
temperature can be raised at a rate not exceeding 200C per hour to achieve a convection outlet
temperature of 1200C. Preferably more burners are taken into operation at low firing rate instead
of firing one burner at higher firing rate.
Keep this arch temperature level for 6 hours.
At this point the forced draft operation can be switched over to balanced draft operation
according the instructions in section 4.3.6/D--Switch From Forced Draft Operation To Balanced
Draft.
Raise the arch temperature at a rate not exceeding 200C per hour to achieve an air pre-heater
outlet temperature of 1200C.
Keep this arch temperature level during 6 hours.
Raise the flue gas temperature in the arch to about 300-3500C at a rate not exceeding 200C per
hour. Operate as many burners as possible to achieve equal heat distribution. Monitor the air pre-
heater flue gas outlet temperature. If this temperature arrives in the range of 175-1850C then the
damper in the air by-pass duct should be commissioned to control this temperature. Monitor the
installed skin thermocouples closely

13. Start one of the forced draft fans with closed inlet vanes. Override the high combustion
chamber pressure limit. Close the shut-off valve/guillotine of the other fan to avoid air re-
cycling.
14. Adjust the air flow to approximately 50% of the design air flow by opening the inlet vanes and
purge the furnace and air pre-heater with air.
15. Switch the arch pressure control acting on the inlet vanes of the ID-fan from manual to
automatic. Close the flue gas damper gradually. Verify the adjustments to the inlet vanes on
basis of the required arch pressure. Monitor the power consumption of the fan to avoid a trip
due to maximum power constraint (cold air).
16. Keep the fans running for 20 minutes or longer.
17. During the fan commissioning all draft gauges at the heater and air pre-heater requires
verification on proper functioning.
18. Check and confirm with an explosion meter for absence of combustibles in the furnace. Carry
out all procedures required by the Plant Operating Practices.
Warning : If the heater is not sufficiently purged, an explosion may result causing serious damage
to equipment and possible loss of life.
For forced draft start-up open stack damper. Slop the ID-fan. Close the guillotines in the flue
gas duct at the stack and combustion air duct at the APEXTM (see 5.3.2--Operating Conditions---
Operation of the guillotines should be performed). Open the air by-pass damper.
1. Balance the draft level (negative pressure) at the arch at approximately 5 to 7.5 mmH2O, by
adjusting the inlet vanes of the induced draft fan (balanced draft start-up) or open stack damper
fully (forced draft start-up).

alarm systems shall be re-instated.
3. Insert the portable igniter using the designated opening at the bottom of the burner wind box.
Verify if the air supply to the pilot as per requirement.
4. Open local pilot gas valve at the burner, ignite the pilot. Verify flame visually through burner
sight door.
5. Light pilots of all burners one by one. All pilots should be in operation period to start main
flames.
6. Adjust pilot gas back pressure and/or air inlet opening to the pilot to improve flame, if
necessary.
7. In case of restart of the main burners, furnace purging is only required when all pilots have
been extinguished. Before restart confirm that all pilots are still burning.
8. Consideration may be given to introduce the process flow (on turn-down) before igniting the
main burners. Alternatively this step can be delayed until furnace and tube metal temperatures
are comparable to the incoming feedstock temperature.
1. Set the fuel pressure controller for about 40% liberation rate (see burner performance curves for
fuel gas pressure)
2. If fuel oil firing is not foreseen shortly after start-up with fuel gas, then a small, steam flow
should be routed through the oil gun of all burners for cooling purposes. Alternatively the oil
gun may be retracted from the burners.
3. Verify the combustion air pressure upstream the burner does not exceed 50 mmH2O.
4. Open local valve fully. Should the burner not ignite within 3 seconds, close valve. Allow at
least one minute before another attempt.

5. Keep the need for even heat distribution in mind whilst proceeding to light multiple burners in
the burner circle. Once all burners are lighted and conditions stabilized, the heat release
rate/fuel gas pressure may be increased.
6. Verify if the arch pressure control acts on the inlet vanes of the ID-fan, when the flue gas
temperature to the ID-fan increases. The arch draft level should be maintained at between 3 to
8 mmH2O during the firing rate increase.
7. Do not operate the burners below the minimum firing rate shown in the burner data sheets. If
the heater needs to be operated below the specified minimum firing for all burners (i.e. dry-out
or high turndown), then some of the burners should be shut off. The remaining burners can be
operated at or above the minimum firing rate.
The maximum flue gas temperature increase at the arch should not exceed 300C per hour during
the initial start-up (see Dry-Out Procedure). For subsequent start-ups after 72 hours of normal
heater operation (fully dry-out condition) 500C per hour flue gas temperature increase can be used.
For dry-out, and for start-ups after major refractory repairs, follow the temperature increase rate in
the Dry-Out Procedure.
During the heating up period the process outlet temperature increase should not exceed 300C
per hour.
With all burners in operation, the combustion air quantity/flue gas oxygen level should be
controlled to between 4 to 6% for the start-up period. Observe the CO reading which should be
negligible at 10 to 80 ppm.
Warning : Never move the burner dampers, increase the combustion air flow, or shut off a burner
when the firebox is short of air; an explosion may result. Decrease the fuel rate in steps not to
exceed 10%, allowing the oxygen level in the firebox to stabilize between each step, until the
required excess air level is achieved.

All changes in the heat release of the burners should be preceded by a firebox oxygen check.
When increasing the heat release of the burners, the excess oxygen level must be increased before
increasing the fuel rate. When decreasing the heat release of the burners, the fuel rate must be
decreased before decreasing the excess oxygen level.
Observe the flue gas temperature level leaving the air pre-heater. When this temperature has
reached 1850C, the air bypass damper should be closed gradually, in small steps, in order to keep this
temperature around 175--1850C.
Once the heater has reached a constant load level, set the arch pressure to approximately 3.0
mmH2O and the oxygen level in the flue gas to the design conditions (see point 6.28) by adjusting
the combustion air flow. Check the unburned combustibles (CO) reading which should remain
negligible at between 10-80 ppm.
Prolonged higher CO reading, at 100-200 ppm with the above oxygen level would indicate to air
mal-distribution, with one or more burners not receiving sufficient combustion air. By observing
the flames, the affected burner can usually be singled out through its longer visible (possibly even
smoky) flame. Check the burner damper settings of the burner. In case CO readings are still
beyond acceptable levels, increase the total air quantity to give 0.5 to 1.0% higher flue gas oxygen
reading. (see also 5.3.2—Operating Conditions---The burners are low-NOx type by means of staged
air supply)
At this stage the furnace firing control can be switched over to automatic.
Warning : If the burners are operated without a sufficient air supply, a build-up of gas may occur
resulting in an explosion. Care should be taken to assure more than sufficient air for combustion is
flowing through each burner at all times and to allow the same flow of combustion air to each
burner in operation.

1. Open steam tracing valves and allow piping to warm up. Start fuel oil circulation and monitor
local oil temperature level in the return line. This should gradually rise to approximately 1700C
to obtain an oil viscosity of 20 cP or less. In case the oil type is more heavy then a higher
temperature should be used to achieve proper firing performance.
2. Open both burner atomizer steam and steam purge lines for one burner to warm up the oil gun
and to clean the internals.
3. Repeat this operation for each burner. Verify that all parts of the supply lines are free of
condensate. Check steam traps accordingly.
4. If the selected oil gun is at operating temperature (above 1700C) and the atomizing steam is dry
then the purge by-pass valve can be closed.
5. Set the fuel pressure control valve at an approximately 40% heat release setting (see burner
performance curve for the related pressure).
6. Set the steam/oil ratio differential controller at the burner between 1.75 to 2.0 bar.
7. Verify the combustion air pressure upstream the burner does not exceed 50 mm H2O.
8. Gradually open the local oil hand valve at the burner fully. Ignition should follow. Check the
flame visually. Adjust parameters to achieve proper combustion.
9. Repeat points of 5.3.6/D--Igniting The Main Burner On Oil Firing for ignition of the remaining
burners. Monitor flue gas temperature at arch and process outlet temperature for maximum
temperature rise.
10. If ignition still fails within 3 seconds, close hand valve. Open the purge valve to clean the oil
gun immediately.
Check the cause of the ignition failure. Below a few checkpoints are listed.
a. Oil is at too low temperature. Check oil re-circulation rate, steam tracing and steam traps.
b. Perform laboratory analysis on oil viscosity on the fuel oil to be fired.

e. Plugged oil ports or atomizer at oil gun. Retract oil gun.
In case of combination firing it is preferably to fire only a selected number of burners in a
symmetrical pattern. The remaining burners are fired on gas only. The advantage is to have the oil
firing at a higher liberation level relative to the oil firing turndown level. Firing at turndown level
requires close monitoring and higher excess air rates. This is not advised for continuous operation.
The remaining oil guns need a small flow of atomizing steam for cooling.

Open all guillotines in the flue gases duct at the stack and combustion air duct (see 5.3.2--
Operating Conditions---Operation of the guillotines should be performed…). The damper in the
by-pass duct should remain fully open.
Switch arch pressure control and air by-pass damper control to manual operation. This

Close stack damper gradually. Verify ID-fan inlet vanes opening when arch pressure exceeds its
set point value. Allow smoothly opening of ID-fan inlet vanes when dampers approach fully
closure position. Monitor the power consumption of the ID-fan and/or APH warm-up rate.
The APEXTM flue gases outlet temperature should be monitored to keep the warm-up rate

warm-up.
When sulfur containing fuels are fired during the start-up of the APEXTM, then the warm-up
should be performed as quickly as possible to minimize acid formation. However higher warm-up
rates as indicated above are not advised because of possible material deformation in the APEXTM.
When the flue gases outlet temperature has reached 175OC, then damper control of the by-pass

side (feed change-over) or the fuel type is switched.
Check that the negative pressure below the convection section is about 3.0 mmH2O gauge.
Check that the oxygen content of the flue gas remains in the range as given below.
The O2 analyzer should be monitored to achieve above values. Reduction of excess air levels

combustion conditions. In case of combination firing at part of the burners the highest O 2 content
should be followed to avoid shortage of air at the oil firing burners.
If burners are out o service for maintenance/malfunction reasons it is advised to close the
burner air dampers of the specific burner. Check the air supply to the other burners to verify equal
distribution. The warm-up of the APEXTM should be performed in a slow manner to avoid
temperature or pressure excursions beyond the constraints. It is strongly recommended to keep the

Check regularly the CO content of the flue gases. Should the reading exceed 100 ppm, check if
all air damper of the burners in operation.
If the CO content is still high, it is advised to raise the excess air level in the heater. Increase the
combustion air flow (inlet vanes at fan) in small steps (+0.3% oxygen at a time), if all burner air
dampers are set identically.
In case of oil firing, check the atomizing steam/fuel oil differential pressure.
The process turndown of the heater is limited to 77000 kg/hr. It is strongly recommended to
avoid excursions below this value. It is expected that the coke formation in the process tubes is
accelerated due to the resulting low mass velocity.
The heater has a two pass arrangement. Regular checks on the flow per pass and process outlet
temperature and skin thermocouple readings should indicate the fouling conditions of the tubes in
the heater.
Monitor and document the skin thermocouples readings. Due to fouling in the tubes it is
expected that the metal temperatures will increase. The applied P5 material has a limitation of
650OC. It is advised to decoke the tubes, when following conditions are present. The skin
thermocouples have reached a 635OC level at part of the tubes and the pressure drop over the coil(s)
has increased significantly. A 150C margin is included for measurement inaccuracy of the skin
thermocouples.
The flue gases leaving the air pre-heater should be maintained at 175OC or slightly above, when
firing sulfur containing fuels. Regular flue gas sampling at air pre-heater outlet should point out the
actual SOx in the flue gas for the present type of fuel firing. Monitor the skin-thermocouples closely
for the minimum metal temperature
The soot-blowers at the convection section should be operated periodically to remove the soot
and other deposits from the coils. The flue gas outlet temperature at the convection collector will
rise as result of the fouling. Operational experience and type of fuel should determine a suitable
time interval for cleaning. A convection section outlet temperature increase of 10--15OC or an once

per shift cleaning when oil firing is applied, are regularly applied methods to abate the fouling
phenomenon.
It is advised to perform regular checks on the formation of acid in the air pre-heater during the
first year of the unit operation, when operational experience is built up. This phenomenon is to be
monitored closely. Steady operation of the unit is critical for the expected lifetime of the applied
materials. A few temperature or pressure excursions beyond its material constraints may damage
the unit to that extent as would have been during a long period of normal operation.
The APEXTM can be cleaned on-line if the heater operations is shifted from balanced draft to
forced draft (see sections 5.3.6/E and 5.3.6/F). The stack damper should be used for arch pressure
control and the air by-pass duct for air supply to the burners. If this operation modification is
applied, then the guillotines at both air side and flue gas side should be closed to isolate the air pre-
heater. (see section 5.3.2--Operating Conditions---Operation of the guillotines should be
performed…,). It is advised to inspect the air pre-heater first after cool-down to record the degree
of fouling. The top part of the APEXTM can be cleaned with warm water sprayed by hose under
slightly pressurized conditions, the bottom block can be cleaned by the installed spray system. The
drain in the hopper should be opened before the start of the washing operation. The waste water
should be drained to safe location. The water may require neutralization due to the removal of
possible acid droplets at the APEXTM internals.

The transfer-line of the 410-F-03 heater is connected to the F-01 transfer-line and the F-02
transfer-line. Idea of shutdown procedures considering the combination of these three heaters can
be obtained from earlier chapters/sections.
The general procedure given below covers most emergencies but it is impracticable to attempt to
cover all combinations and process conditions in these instructions.
In all emergencies action should be taken to make the unit safe as quickly as possible.
FURNACE FEED FAILURE : All main burners should be shut down automatically. If the feed
cannot be restarted within five (5) minutes, the coils must be flushed out with steam to reduce the
risk of coke formation in the tubes. The steam or inert gas flow may be stopped when the flue gas
temperature at the arch is below 4000C. However flow may possibly be continued to prevent back-
flow from transfer-line.
GENERAL ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE : The heater should shut down immediately (see
Furnace Feed Failure).
GENERAL INSTRUMENT AIR FAILURE : The heater should shut down immediately (see Furnace
Feed Failure).
FUEL GAS FAILURE : If the fuel gas pressure cannot be maintained, the gas supply should be cut
off. All local fuel valves are to be closed.
FUEL OIL FAILURE : If the fuel oil pressure/temperature cannot be maintained, the oil supply
should be cut off. All local fuel oil valves are to be closed. Open steam purge valves to clean the oil
guns immediately. If sufficiently cleaned, then close the purge valves such to allow a minimum
flow through the oil gun. Alternatively the oil gun can be retracted. In case and pilot gas and fuel

gas are still available, then the heater operation can continue on fuel gas only. If not, then heater
will be shut down.
ATOMIZING STEAM FAILURE : The fuel oil will be cut off. All local fuel oil/atomizing steam
valves are to be closed. The oil guns should be retracted for cleaning immediately. In case and pilot
gas and fuel gas are still available, then the heater operation can continue on fuel gas only. If not,
then heater will be shut down.
FURNACE TUBE FAILURE : For a minor tube leak, a quick controlled shutdown should be carried
out. Fires shall not be cut immediately, but should be reduced to a minimum. Process feed flow
rate should be reduced to approximately 50%. The feed to the effected coil should be replaced by
steam flow to prevent coke formation. A normal shutdown procedure should be continued.
FURNACE TUBE FAILURE : For a major leak or in the extreme case a tube burst, both process feed
flow and firing shall be stopped immediately. Smothering steam must be introduced into the
firebox by means of the purge/snuffing steam connections. The flushing (steaming out) of the coils
shall be delayed, as it may increase the flow of hydrocarbons from the leak into the firebox.
HIGH FURNACE ARCH PRESSURE : If the pressure in the firebox is positive, the main burners
should be shut down (see normal shutdown). In order to avoid nuisance trips it is advised to
implement a time delay of approximately ten up to 30 (10-30) seconds in order to compensate for
pressure fluctuations.
If practicable, try to avoid rapidly cooling down the furnace. 200OC per hour is the normal limit
for temperature reduction.
Further actions will depend on the specific situation.

Hereafter guidelines are given for a typical decoking procedure. These should be treated as
guide line only and may be adapted to local regulations and operational experiences.
The design includes two plug type headers at the last tubes in the radiant section. For these
tubes a mechanical turbining is possible for a more rigorous cleaning of the coke at the tube inner
surface.
A spalling stage is possible, but should be executed under close monitoring. Excessive spalling
may cause plugging in the tubes. Cutting of the tubes is then required.
It is advised to decoke the two passes separately (in sequence) to permit close monitoring of the
decoking process in one pass. The other pass requires a cooling medium during the decoking.

CHAPTER – 8
8.1 INTRODUCTION
In this section, procedure for normal i.e. planned shutdown is discussed. While shutting down all
process units simultaneously or any section of the process unit, care should be taken not to admit air
into the system until all hydrocarbon vapours have been removed.
Care should be taken for any sharp drop in temperature to avoid thermal stresses in piping and
equipment. All related process units, utilities and of sites should be kept informed well in advance
about the shut down planning. It is to be ensured that a slop tank and one crude tank having
sufficient space are available to receive the slop/off spec material. Closed blow down drum should
be emptied out and should be kept ready to receive hydrocarbons draining/flushing from
equipment. Flushing oil should be made available in adequate quantity and adequate pressure.
Ensure Passivation solution availability.
The following steps are involved for carrying out the normal shutdown safely:
Preliminary preparation
Throughput Reduction
Bypassing of Desalter & decommissioning
Discontinue chemical Injection
Cooling of Furnaces
Shutdown stabilizer
Pumping Out
Gas Oil Flushing
Depressurization & Steaming
Passivation Of heater tubes & Coking as per requirement
Opening Of Equipments.

CHAPTER - 9
INTRODUCTION
Start up and shut down are the most critical periods in operation of any process unit. It is then that
the hazardous possibilities for fire and explosion are highest. Start up and normal operating
procedures are described in this section.
The hazards encountered most frequently in start up and shut down of units are accidental mixing
of air and hydrocarbons and contacting of water with hot oil. Other hazards primarily associated
with start up are excessive pressure, vacuum and thermal/mechanical shocks. These can result in
flares, explosions, destructive pressure surges and other damages to unit as well as injury to
personal.
Fires occur when oxygen and fuel vapour or mists are mixed in flammable proportions and come in
contact with an ignition source. They may run out of control or touch off devastating explosive.
Pressure surge from unplanned mixing of water and hot oil may cause damage of equipment and/or
loss of valuable production.
Preparation for start-up begins with a complete review of the start-up procedure by the operating
crew.

CHAPTER - 10
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Outlines of procedures to be followed in case of emergencies arising out of failures like power,
steam, water and heater tubes failures are given in this section. However, emergencies may be of
many more types than can be outlined in an operating manual. An emergency may call for quick
adoption of some alternative steps, reduction in T’put, sectional circulation or sectional shutdown,
complete unit circulation or complete unit shutdown, shutdown as per normal shutdown procedure
or emergency shutdown procedure etc. depending on the type, extent and duration of the failure.
Hence judicious spot decision is required to be taken. However, the general guidelines given below
are to be remembered while deciding and acting:
i. The product inside the heater coil should not get excessively heated, to avoid coke
formation.
ii. Heater coils should not run dry.
iii. Cut off oil firing and gas firing before putting off the pilot gas burners. Close the
unit limit gas and unit B/V and depressurize the gas line to flare line.
iv. Firebox purging steam should be opened immediately after cutting off pilot gas
burner.
v. Heater coil pressure must be lower than available steam pressure, when coil-purging
steam is opened.

vi. If coil purging in F-1, F-2 and F-3 becomes necessary, no condensation of steam
inside the coils is permitted, since the last tubes are of stainless steel.
vii. The passivation solution should be prepared at the earliest, since the same may be
needed for passivation of F-1, F-2 and F-3 coils.
viii. Steam flushing of individual oil burners, is required to keep the tips free for
subsequent light up.
ix. Fuel oil BPC bypass valve is required to be opened in time, so that BPC pressure
does not exceed 6.0 kg/cm2.
x. No excessive pressure surge or level build up in columns, vessels etc. are to be
allowed. Attempt is to be made to avoid any safety valve popping.
xi. No off grade materials is to be allowed to go into on grade tanks. Hence, timely
closing of rundown valves or diverting product rundowns should be ensured.
Inform concerned sections about stopping/diversion.
xii. Crude feed line battery limit isolation valve is to be closed before establishing
circulation.
xiii. While on hot circulation, LSHS/RCO cooler rundown temperature should not exceed
50-55OC, to avoid feed pump losing suction. (Temp. is to be controlled by pinching
water to LSHS/RCO coolers)
xiv. While pumping out any material from the unit pump out temperature has to be low
enough.
xv. Timely closing of stripping steam isolation valves must be ensured, to avoid pressure
surges in the column or product backing up into steam line. Keep bleeders on the
steam lines, mainly on 3 Ata steam line opened to avoid back up of product.
xvi. Crude oil and LSHS circuits must be flushed with diesel at the earliest convenient
time to avoid congealing.
xvii. Proper vigilance in the plant to be observed by operating personnel to avoid near fire
or fire likes situations. Timely actions like blanketing by opening steam lancers may
help avoiding near fire situation to develop into a fire situation.
The major emergencies encountered are:
Power failure
Steam failure
Water failure
Instrument air failure
Crude feed failure
All utilities failure
Failure of heater coils
Failure of heater interlocks

Water Injection
Water to the extent of 2--6 % of feed should be injected in crude to achieve complete
dissolution of salts from crude to water.
Pressure drop across mixing valve should be around 0.3 to 1.0 kg/cm 2. Higher pressure
results in efficient contact but tight emulsion. Hence optimum pressure differential
has to be maintained.
Water injection should be further adjusted whether feed rate is changed.
Water injection can be reduced while processing slops or when large quantity of water
is present in feed itself.
Demulsifier Injection
Demulsifier is added to the extent of 4 to 10 ppm depending upon type of crude to break the
emulsion and quality of demulsifier.

Normally oil-water interface should be between 80--100 cm below the lower electrode.
Optimum interface level will depend upon the type of crude and oil content of desalter brine.
Desalter current
Increase in Desalter current may result from high interface level or short circuiting. If
lowering of interface level or increasing demulsifier injection does not bring down the
current, then check for short circuit.

AMC is a 16 loop controller. The AMC's are used with redundant processor.
All control I/O's (Inputs/Out puts) are connected to an AMC using redundant I/O cards.
CPC is the processor, which controls the process interlock. CPC supplied by Tata
Honeywell is Triconex make with triple processor with three legs in the I/0 cards and
incorporates 2 out of 3 voting logic. One printer is connected to CPC for sequence of
event printing.
IPC is used for data acquisition system and for open loops.
Universal Station is the man machine interface. It is a node sitting on LCN, which
communicates with all other nodes on LCN. US displays continuous process operating
data like trends reports sequence, alarms etc. Also process engineer displays like
configuration, point building, graphics building, CL programming, log/report building
are available. A brief description of the nomenclature used is given under 11.12.

DCS functions effectively only if there is an uninterrupted power supply (UPS). Hence
UPS alongwith battery back up is installed as a pre-requisite for any DCS system.
The main purpose of UPS is to cater supply requirement of all DCS components in HG,
AM, HM and all US status and boxes like AMC's and CPC's. In addition to above, it
also requires catering supply to all peripheral supply like printer, PC's and assignable
recorders mounted on DCS.
In UPS, there are three independent incoming supply of 440V AC coming from three
independent power distribution system and are connected to three modules namely
Module-1, Module-2 and SVR. Generally Module-1 and Module-2 are working parallel
and SVR is working as a stand by system.
Each is capable enough to cater total power supply requirement of DCS. All these three
are connected to a battery bank, which will be in charged condition continuously.
Battery bank will come in line when all the incoming power supply fails or all the above
mentioned three modules fail. However in annunciator system, these windows are kept
which indicates for any of the module failure and battery in line condition. A simple
sketch shows the power distribution network.

110V AC supply coming from UPS is distributed to all system cabinet supply
through power distribution boxes located in DCS control room. All the nodes require
direct 110V AC supply whereas input supply of all transmitters and control valves
connected to AMC boxes require 24V DC supply. This is achieved through two nos. of
24V supply boxes located in each marshalling box.
DCS system will not be affected and annunciator will indicate the particular module,
which has failed.
During this time entire DCS supply is met by battery bank. This battery bank can cater
the system from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending upon the load of DCS. If the supply is
not restored within this period, shutdown is imminent.
This type of failure may be due to fuse failure or power supply module failure.

1. Put at ease: We, if possible, interview the employee involved . We should go out of our way to
PUT THE EMPLOYEE AT EASE and help him to feel relaxed.
The best way to do this with accident investigation interviews is to fully explain to him the purpose
of the interview " to find out what happened so as to prevent future occurrences ". One easy way to
put at ease is to encourage participation and involvement. Show an interest in his ideas about
prevention measures. A friendly and understanding manner is a necessity in gaining co-operation.
2. At the Scene of Accident: When carrying out the interview at the scene of the accident it is much
easier for those involved to communicate effectively. The victim and other people involved will be
able to explain much more clearly what happened if they can point to specific geographic locations.
It also prevents his observations and ideas from being influenced by the opinions of others.
3. Get His Version: On interviewing the person most directly involved, be sure that he understands
that you want his version just as he saw it and not "dressed up" for your benefit. Above all do not
disagree with him, and do not make judgements or judgmental remarks. This will only put him on
the defensive and defeat the whole purpose of the interview.
(a) What Happened? (b) What was done? AND (c) How it was done?
Questions starting with what, how, when, where and who should get all of the facts of the case
before you look for why opinions.

5. Repeat History, as you understand it: this will do two things. First it will assure good
communication by allowing the employee to be sure that you understood what he meant and not
just what he said. Second it gives him a chance to hear back what he said and to fall in any point
that were not clear or that he may have overlooked.
The first requirement for the injured person is to provide medical treatment. It is a mistake to make
him upset by questions.

Types of injuries
The injuries from accidents are classified as follows:
o Minor Injuries
o Serious Injuries
o Fatal Injuries
A. MINOR INJURIES
1 In case of injury, even if it seems to be a minor one, first aid should be rendered at the spot
and the causality shall be sent to the first Aid Post for medical attention. In the case of an
injury other than minor cuts and abrasions, it must not be left to the man to decide whether
the injury is simple or serious. This is the business of company's Medical Officer.
2 If an ambulance is required, the First Aid Post or the Hospital should be contacted in
telephone advising the nature of the injury. The Medical authorities will decide subsequent
action in regard to the welfare of the causality.
3 In rendering first aid, particular care must be taken so that there is no adverse effect on the
injury. Normally first aid should be rendered by a trained person, but in an emergency
anybody may have to render the first aid.
B. SERIOUS INJURIES
1 In case of serious injury first aid will be rendered at the spot, if applicable and the same time,
the First Aid Post / Hospital will be requested for ambulance giving precise nature of injuries.
2 Manager / Deputy Manger (Fire & Safety) or his representative and the concerned
Departmental Head will be informed on telephone or by messenger and they should proceed
at once to the spot for any such action as the circumstance may require.

C. FATAL INJURIES
1 In case of fatal injury, the statutory obligation requires that the situation where the accident
occurred should remain as far as possible undisturbed. Therefore, with the exception of
removing the causalities from the scene of accident or fire etc., this requirement must be
strictly observed.
2 The Medical Officer at First Aid Post, Chief Medical Officer, General Manger / Deputy
General Manger, Chief Production manger, Manager / Deputy Manger (Fire & Safety) / Senior
Officer, Senior Personnel-cum-Administrative manger will be informed immediately of any
fatal injury. The personnel Department will take early action to inform the relatives, police
the Factory Inspector.
3 An enquiry will be held by a committee, constituted by the Management, in all cases of fatal
injury.
FIRST AID TRAINING
The Medical Department will arrange instructional classes in first aid and a reasonable
proportion of the personnel employed in the Production, Electrical and Engineering Departments
should undergo instructions in this important subject to render necessary first aid as and when
necessary.
Shift rotation should be so arranged that, as far as possible, persons qualified in first aid are
present in all shifts.
Refresher courses for first-aiders should be carried out from time to time by the Medical
Department.
FIRST AID BOXES
First aid boxes will be located in each building of a plant group and in the Maintenance sections,
sub-station etc. The concerned department should inspect the contents of each first aid box at least
once in every month and ensure that supplies of the necessary medicines in the first aid box are
maintained.

4.3.3 No inspection, maintenance, gauging or sampling of tanks should be undertaken
unless any emergency during abnormal weather, thunder or hail storms and
insufficient illumination at the area.
4.3.4 Conductive footwear e.g. leather soles or electrically conducting rubber soles,
should be worn while gauging, sampling or taking temperatures. Nylon rope
shall not be used for lowering sample bottles in the tank.
4.3.5 Check for deck plate internal corrosion: For safety, before accessing the roof,
check with ultrasonic instrument or lightly use a ball peen hammer to test the
deck plate near the edge of the roof for thinning. Corrosion normally attacks the
deck plate at the edge of a fixed roof & at the rafters in the center of the roof
first. (API STD. 653, Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration & Reconstruction -
Refer Section C 1.4).
4.3.6 Wherever the roof is found perforated /fragile by Inspection dept., a board
depicting “Fragile / perforated roof – Entry prohibited” to be displayed at the
approach staircase and access to such tank roof should be prohibited. However
the permit can be given in special circumstances like M&I job by the area
manager after ensuring that fall protection system along with suitable crawling
boards, roof ladders, guardrail for edge protection is in place.
In addition to above, the following precautions are to be ensured
before issuing permit: -

In atmospheric distillation unit main hazardous chemical, are ammonia & NaOH. Caustic
solution is dozed at pre-desalter inlet to neutralize Naphthenic acid & at post desalter
exchanger train to neutralize HCL generated by hydrolysis of salts of MgCl2. NH3 is
injected in the over head of column to neutralize any HCL vapour which has remained un-
neutralized by caustic. NH3 is injected in some units as ammonia solution of 2-3% strength
diluted with DM water & in some units as ammonical caustic solution where NH3 remains
in solution with dilute caustic for neutralization purpose.
NH3 is procured in cylinders of 40 Kg weight. Caustic is received from OMS & diluted to
required strength with DM water.
Caustic is also used for removing H2S from naphtha & LPG streams in naphtha & LPG
Caustic & water wash system, where caustic of 10% strength is used. Inventory of this
chemical is maintained for about 15 days of average daily consumption.

HSD COALESCER
DESCRIPTION:
THE DIESEL COALESCER in its simplest form, designed and manufactured as per ASME
Section VIII Div. I. It consists of a horizontal shell having dished end at its both ends and one
manhole connection at the middle to facilitate the easy removal of coalescer and separator
elements for cleaning and replacement.
INSTALLATION
The Coalescer is a precision product and requires extremely careful handling during
transportation, fitting and installation. The coalescer is thus normally dispatched in well-packed
installation. It should be unpacked just before installation only and the whole coalescer may be
checked for any damage.

The coalescer should be fitted in position taking care of the orientation of nozzles etc. the
coalescer should be rigidly hooked upto various piping connection and base to avoid any
vibration due to flow. Ensure sufficient empty space on the front of the Manhole opening to
facilitate the element removal without tilting.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the element by any leftover material in the piping system,
up-stream of the element should be flushed thoroughly before the fitment of coalescer/separator
element in the housing.
METHOD OF WORKING
The Diesel Coalescer housing is provided with the inlet and outlet nozzles of suitable sizes at
the front end on dish and at far end on dish of housing respectively. Connection for safety relief
valve has been provided. The water droplets coalesced through the element gets collected in the
horizontal sump provided below main vessel and thereafter drained through the drain nozzle
provided at its bottom.
Horizontal sump with dished end on its both end has been provided. Connections for Level
Transmitter and Level Gauge have also been provided to mount instruments on the horizontal
sump.
All the solid particles 10 microns (98%) are trapped in the element. In addition liquid droplets
do not wet the fibres but remain attached to them as beads of liquid. As more liquid droplets are
separated, more they agglomerated and coalesced into large drops due to their surface attraction
to each other. When the coalesced liquid drops attains a sufficient size from 100 to 200 times
their initial size, the force of gravity and frictional drag of the fluid causes them to drain out the
element and they are carried into sump of the vessel. Due to their size, they are readily stripped
out in the horizontal sump through downcomers.
OPERATION
The coalescer has been thoroughly subjected to inspection and testing at our works before
dispatch, but to check the leak proofness of matching flanged connections, the coalescer along
with the up-stream and downstream piping should be subjected to hydrostatic testing. After
satisfying that there is no leaking joint causing spillage and wastage of service fluid, the
coalescer should be put to the operation as follows :

1. Supply of stream (at required temperature) should be started before putting the coalescer
into operating
2. Provide all instrument / isolation valves at per drawing & P&ID
3. Close all valves including inlet, outlet and drain plug. Open air vent.
4. Open inlet valves slowly so that coalescer is in operation.
5. Open drain plug and flush out any debris.
6. Close drain plug.
7. Allow coalescer to fill in with liquid and when the liquid starts coming out of the air vent,
close the air vent again.
The fluid enters through the inlet to the coalescer. In the process of passing through the
elements, the entrained particles (Liquid+Dust) are caught through the depth of the element
and clean fluid passes out through the outlet.
Close inlet and outlet valves and open the drain plug and flush out the fluid in the housing.
Take out the dirty element from the shell and replace it. The element can be taken out by
opening Manhole cover. Enter into the housing, unscrew the tie rod nuts, remove the spider
plate and then pull the element on the tie road. Revolve the element and take out from housing
through manhole.
After replacement of element, the system can be now put into operation.

K-2 Column Flashzone replacement
In AU-3 Unit, column K-2 is main fractionator which is the heart of any atmospheric unit. since
this unit has been more than 45 years old and processing high chloride North Gujarat crude,
metallurgy also get affected of erosion and corrosion, in turn leading to subsequent failures like pin
hole leaks. To cope up with the problem of leakage, flash zone of nearly 6 meters height was to be
replaced with cladded plate during M&I of june-2009.
Before taking safe shutdown of unit, concrete structure with platform was prepared opposite of
furnace F-3 to keep TOP PORTION of column - nearly 25 meters. 600 MT capacity giant crane was
also brought in different parts and was assembled by using small cranes and hydras. This crane was
to be used for holding and shifting of column. flashzone section to be replaced was prefabricated
“20mm thick plate integraly cladded with 4mm SS317L plate” metallurgy.
After shutdown of unit and completion of handing over the unit to mechanical maintenance, they
started executing their plans. All attached pipings, instrumentation, electrical cables, column
platform including ladders were detached from column safely. HIGH TECH tools (digital
theodolite) and laser alignment instruments were used to benchmark column position and allied
pipelines.
60 mm thick plates were used to fabricate the lifting lugs – 2 nos which were welded to column top
to hold it. first the column was cut circumferentially from above flashzone while being hold by
crane.then it was shifted to predesigned structure and placed there vertically. After that second cut
was made and flashzone section of nearly 6 meters was removed. A new prefabricated portion was
kelp on the place. After dimensional check and necessary alignment correction, bottom portion was
welded.6 nos of trays were fixed in flashzone section and then column top was shifted to its original

Note:-
1) PDEC recommends to retain the existing heat exchanger E-309A/B/C in PHT-3 with tube side
pass modification from 6 to 4 instead of procuring 2 new bundles to contain the project cost. The
executability of the same was discussed and confirmed with JR during the PDEC team visit in
October 2010. Revised datasheets for both E-309 A/B/C (with pass change) and HM-2A/B are
incorporated in this report.
3) To improve present preheat attempt can be made in the Unit operation to Close the bypass
around E-309 A/B/C as much as possible and introduce Stripping steam to K1 at prescribed design
rate.
