8.4 INTERNAL TRAYS AND PACKING PREPARATION

8.4.1 Dress up to be completed as much as possible in horizontal position, dress up for platforms and ladders for all elevations from top to bottom.

Page 12 of 26

Page 13: Method Statement of Internal Trays, Packing & Catalyst Loading

NGHI SON REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL PROJECT

Document Title :METHOD STATEMENT OF INTERNAL TRAYS, PACKING & CATALYST LOADING

Contractor Doc. No:VV3160-001-C-024 REV – 0

8.4.2 Before installation, all location, elevation and orientation of the trays and packings and support structures shall be checked and verified in accordance with installation drawing.

8.4.3 All documents related to the trays and packings should be at job site with the concerned crew following erection.

8.4.4 Dress up items, which cannot be erected in horizontal position will be erected in vertical position after make alignment and vertically.

9. INSTALLATION

9.1 Internal manways are left open and column manholes are closed with four bolts. Only temporary gaskets should be used until final closure.

9.2 When the trays have no internal manways, pre-commissioning engineer and the Client will check the trays during site installation.

9.3 Internal manways and column manholes to be closed as soon as a closing certificate is signed by all parties, (see attachment 3).

9.4 Trays, if any to be installed during pre-commissioning. In certain instances, these will be installed after pickling, degreasing or flushing activities.

9.5 All packing to be installed during pre-commissioning.

Safety: Before entering any vessel, column, tank or confined space, ensure such entry is safe. When required, obtain an entry permit.

Inform the Site Safety Manager, or his delegate, about your entry. See also JGCS confined space work procedures. Enclosed Space Entry Permit.

The following minimum requirements will be observed prior to entry:

Oxygen level measurement.

Position a person outside the column during the internal check.

Wear protective clothing and gloves.

10. TRAY INSPECTION CRITERIA

Distillation and other tray type mass transfer devices suffer from deteriorating performance as the result of different liquid depth on the active sections.

Devices such as bubble cap trays will be less upset than vacuum tower sieve trays as the result of this effect due to greater liquid depth, but in both cases, exceeding the tolerances generally recognized as

Page 13 of 26

Page 14: Method Statement of Internal Trays, Packing & Catalyst Loading

NGHI SON REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL PROJECT

Document Title :METHOD STATEMENT OF INTERNAL TRAYS, PACKING & CATALYST LOADING

Contractor Doc. No:VV3160-001-C-024 REV – 0

applicable to towers of various diameters, will provoke poor performance and jeopardize the company's guarantee position.

10.1 TRAY INSPECTION ADDRESSES TWO ELEMENTS:

10.1.1 Mechanical integrity and robustness of tray installation. Check that bolting and sealing is tight and that the superficial condition of tray components is in good condition.

10.1.2 A measurement verification exercise to establish the degree of conformity of the installation.

10.1.3 The various contributors to tray installation faults are as follows:

Tray verticality, affecting;

Tray support ring levelness.

Downcomer weir levelness as well as fabrication errors for these items, plus

Buckling and out-of-flatness of the tray panel.

10.1.4 The tolerances in the table below are very similar to those used by tray fabricators so that disputes over measurements will be minimized.

10.1.5 Maximum out-of-flatness or out-of-levelness:

Towers upto 2000mm dia 3mm

Towers over 2000mm dia 6mm

This is an absolute levelness criterion as clarified below:

One criterion only is evaluated namely the absolute deviation of any point on a tray from a reference.

The method calls for measurement of the relative level of five points in each tray panel.

Every tray is measured using a single reference point for each pass side.

A set of calibrated measuring bottles (water level) with a suitably indented base connected by a flexible hose with a length not less than two thirds of the tower diameter is used to take readings which are subsequently analyzed in the inspection report.

The tray installation is classed as satisfactory if not more than 5% of all maximum deviation measurements for a single tower exceed the levelness tolerance by not more than 1 mm.

11. PREPARATION

In order to assist the process or pre-commissioning engineer in inspecting the trays, the checklist

Page 14 of 26

Page 15: Method Statement of Internal Trays, Packing & Catalyst Loading

NGHI SON REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL PROJECT

Document Title :METHOD STATEMENT OF INTERNAL TRAYS, PACKING & CATALYST LOADING

Contractor Doc. No:VV3160-001-C-024 REV – 0

indicated in 11.1 will be used.

Beside the items mentioned on this list, the following specific checks will have to be carried out:

A leak test shall be performed on all total draw-off trays. With all drain holes plugged, the drop in level shall not exceed 5 cm in 30 mins. unless otherwise specified.

A spray pattern test shall be performed on high vacuum towers. This is to make sure that no spray nozzle is blocked and that the spray pattern is such that it covers the total diameter of the column.

Leak test procedure for draw-off trays

Block drain holes with putty.

Fill with water (check water quality - maximum chlorides).

Mark level and leave for 30 minutes; level shall not drop by more than 50 mm, unless otherwise specified.

Allow water to drain and check flow (slope of gutters/trough).

Remove all putty from drain holes.

Check cleanliness and arrange acceptance.

Spray pattern test procedure

A spray pattern test must be well coordinated. To perform this test the tower must be trayed, tray and column manways opened and the following made available:

1. A circulation pump, preferably one of the process pumps. 2. A copious water supply. 3. Sufficient instrumentation to monitor the pump's performance, level and flow measurements:

A positive head must be established and the pump suction and discharge must be filled and vented.

If necessary, a pressurized hose should be connected to the suction to ensure a continuous supply of water.

A secure place above the distributor must be found to stand on and check that the spray covers the total surface.

The sequence of steps for spray testing are:

Remove all spray nozzles.

Page 16: Method Statement of Internal Trays, Packing & Catalyst Loading

NGHI SON REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL PROJECT

Document Title :METHOD STATEMENT OF INTERNAL TRAYS, PACKING & CATALYST LOADING

Contractor Doc. No:VV3160-001-C-024 REV – 0

Provide all pump strainers and filters with start-up mesh (fine mesh) to ensure that no debris enters the system.

Flush the spray distribution and associated piping system with water.

Check the filters and re-install all spray nozzles.

Pump water through the spray nozzles at flow rates ranging between 50% and 150% of the design rate (unless otherwise specified).

Record the pressure at the inlet of the spray manifold for each flow rate.

Stop water flow. The observers enter the column and position themselves above the spray manifold.

The water flow is re-started to verify the performance of the spray nozzles.

Safety:

Obtain an entry permit and results of the oxygen test.

Check for ventilation (water, mist and breathing).

Secure yourself with a safety belt.

Position a person outside the column (for radio contact).

Wear rain gear.

Carry a tool to give signals against wall.

Start pump and stop as soon as result is noted. JGCS representative should be present in the column to confirm findings.

12. PROCESS CHECK LIST FOR COLUMN/ VESSELS

The checks marked with (*) must be carried out at the manufacturers shop, if the tower is to be trayed prior to shipment. This does not preclude the necessity for site checks.

1. Check requisition/Vendor Drawings

Check for discrepancies on critical dimensions.

2. Check at Liquid Flow Path

Is liquid always present behind an inlet weir?

Page 16 of 26

Page 17: Method Statement of Internal Trays, Packing & Catalyst Loading

NGHI SON REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL PROJECT

Document Title :METHOD STATEMENT OF INTERNAL TRAYS, PACKING & CATALYST LOADING

Contractor Doc. No:VV3160-001-C-024 REV – 0

Are liquid cut outs positioned correctly?

Does liquid fall into correct tray position?

3. Check Liquid Feed Inlets Are number and size of holes correct?

Is liquid distributed evenly over the tray?

Will there be any mal-distribution?

Check orientation of sparger and holes.

Check provisions for expansion differences.

4. Check Liquid Outlets

Check if vortex breakers are installed and do not obstruct flow.

5. Check Reboiler Returns

Does liquid enter correct compartments?

Does vapor distribute uniformly?

Does vapor pass through a curtain of liquid?

6. Check Thermocouple Positions

Are they located in 'dead' zones?

Do they obstruct liquid flow paths?

Check length of thermo couples.

7. Check Pressure Gauge Positions

Does liquid hit branch take off (particularly in vapor/liquid zones). If so it may need shielding.

8. Mechanical

Prior to start installation, a dimensional check shall be performed on all supports and tray rings. (*)

Document Title :METHOD STATEMENT OF INTERNAL TRAYS, PACKING & CATALYST LOADING

Contractor Doc. No:VV3160-001-C-024 REV – 0

- Random checks for any malfunction of valves.

Random checks for any loose bolts, (check if tack welds are required). (*)

Check if gasket material is installed. (*)

Check number of trays/valves. (*)

Check drain holes in seal pans. (*)

Check position and dimensions of slotted holes. (*)

Check DC clearances per vendor drawings (should be same over the total length). (*)

Check weir heights per vendor drawing (should be same over the total length). (*)

Check provisions for expansion (beams, valve type inlet devices, spargers, distribution etc.). (*)

Check for levelness (important on vacuum towers with minimum tray liquid depth). (*)

The out of flatness and out of levelness of trays after installation should be within following tolerances: (*)

Be less than 3 mm for trays of up to 2000 mm wide and less than 6 mm for trays over 2000 mm wide, expressed as the difference between highest and lowest points on the tray.

Note: For partial draw-off trays with a small liquid transfer to the lower trays, also a leak test may be considered.

9. Attachments

All internal attachments, e.g. bolts, nuts, clamps, blanking strips, support brackets, etc., should be securely fastened. (*)

All internal nozzles should be tightly flanged, if applicable. (Note weep and vent holes if any. On shutdown all liquid should be able to drain freely).(*)

10. Stiffness

Check the stiffness of weirs, down-comers and other unsupported attachments to ensure deflection/vibration will not occur. (*)

11. Free Movement

Where adjustable weirs have been specified check that such weirs are secured at the correct height and that future adjustment is possible. (*)

Contractor Doc. No:VV3160-001-C-024 REV – 0

12. Materials

Check that all materials are in accordance with specification. It is often useful to carry a magnet during inspection to check for rogue carbon steel bolts, clamps, brackets etc., in stainless steel (austenitic) service. (*)

13. Leakage

Particular attention should be paid to sealed areas for possible leakage:

All weirs should have a good all-round seal.

The tray itself should be checked for a good seal between the different sections and a proper gasket between the tray and the support ring.

Seal pans should be inspected for a good seal.

13.MISCELLANEOUS INTERNALS

Special internal items should be identified and checked out, e.g. Vortex breakers, anti-swirl baffles, demister pads, etc. (*)

Where sieve trays have punched holes, check if the direction of punching is in accordance with specification, (usually down). (*)

Where holes have been burned into a tray, for example with valve or bubble cap trays, all burrs and slag should have been completely removed. (*)

Check that the support ring, or other internals, do not blank sieve holes, valves etc. (*)

Check that the trays are clean. No bolts, nuts or debris should be left on trays.

14. PACKED COLUMNS

The packing should be checked prior to loading to ensure the correct type of packing has been received. Check:

Type (Pall, Intalox, etc.). Size. Material.

Try to assess damage, if any, (e.g. ceramic packing).

It is useful to keep a sample of packing for future reference.

In case of structured packing, check if sealing against wall, gap between packing elements, wall scrapers, number of layers, type etc., is as per specification

Contractor Doc. No:VV3160-001-C-024 REV – 0

Check net free area of packing supports and hold-down grids. (*)

Check if the ancillary internals (support tray, distributors, re-distributors, etc.) have been correctly installed. (*)

Ensure that correct method of loading is used - wet, stacked, random etc.

Check correct height of packing and where specified the hold down grids.

15. DISTRIBUTORS

Distributors should be thoroughly checked for levelness with a graduated water level in a similar manner to the tray level check. (*)

Check distributor piping for weep and vent holes where applicable. (*)

16. GENERAL APPEARANCE

The general appearance and cleanliness should be checked and reported. Note that all debris and as much loose rust, slag, etc. as possible should be removed prior to start-up to avert possible problems.

17. REPORT

The JGCS representative should make sure that all details of such tower inspections are fully reported since this inspection is usually the last opportunity to collect this data in a complete manner. In case of performance problems in a tower reference will be made to this original pre-startup inspection report. details should therefore be as complete as possible.

18. PUNCH LIST When discrepancies are discovered, they will be recorded on a punch list. This punch list will be cleared by the WEC erection crew.

19. CATALYST LOADING PRECAUTIONS:-

The loading operation should be conducted with reasonable speed; to ensure the catalysts does not pick-up and undue of moisture from the air.

The vessel must be loaded carefully to minimize physical damage to the pellets during loading and to prevent catalysts alteration in normal operation. Careful loading will avoid serious operation problem caused by poor packing of the bed.

The free fall of catalyst should not exceed 500mm to prevent breakage.

The bottom and top screens must be checked.

Larger hopper should be used to move the catalyst from the ground to the filling manhole. Page 20 of 26

NGHI SON REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL PROJECT

Document Title :METHOD STATEMENT OF INTERNAL TRAYS, PACKING & CATALYST LOADING

Contractor Doc. No:VV3160-001-C-024 REV – 0

The hopper should be equipped with loading chute of correct diameter and sufficient length.

Personnel handling the catalysts during the loading must wear dust masks.

20. CATALYST LOADING:-

The catalyst is loaded after blowing, cleaning and drying of upstream and downstream piping.Before loading of catalyst man hole should be opened first..Inspect the interior of each reactor, to ensure that the vessel is clean, dry and free from loose scale and debris.

It is essential that the charging level is clearly defines, so as to avoid under-or overfilling.

It should be checked that the thermo wells are installed as specified (including gaskets) and that the catalyst retaining plate and the blind flange on the unloading handhold are installed.

All measurements should be made from a fixed reference point at the top of the vessel although guidance marks may be made on the vessel internal by means of blackboard chalk.

For charging heights and weights see the corresponding catalyst data sheets Weight of catalyst, vendor batch number and any other relevant catalyst data should be recorded. Make sure that the required amount of catalyst and support is loaded

Install a large funnel 18 to 24 inches in diameter at the top, tapering down to four to six inches at the bottom, in the manhole above the bed. To the bottom of the funnel, attach a canvas sock or hose arrangement of sufficient length to reach the bottom of the reactor.

Hoist catalyst or support balls up in buckets and pour into the funnel. As the level builds up in the vessel, raise the funnel and withdraw the chute so that the catalyst/support will flow out.

Keep the chute full all times so catalyst does not drop more than about 12 inches.

Level the catalyst or catalyst support bed every 3 feet of height increase. If it is necessary for a man to enter the vessel during loading, precautions must be taken so that he does not stand directly on the catalyst.

A board must be placed over part of the bed to distribute his weight. After all of the catalyst and catalyst Support balls have been loaded, disconnect the air hose, Close the bottom drain and secure manholes.

Refer to operating and instruction manual supplied by catalyst vendor for detailed procedures.

21. FINAL LEAK TEST:-

After the catalyst loading is completed, the tightness of the reactor has to be ascertained.The reactor is isolated and pressurized with air to the maximum pressure available or compatible with the equipment.

The tightness is considered satisfactory when the pressure loss is less than 0.05165kg/cm2/hour, over four consecutive hours.

After the leak test the reactor is purged with nitrogen until the oxygen content is 0.2% volumemaximum.

If for any reason the leak test of the unit as described earlier has not been performed yet, proceed to an overall leak test of the unit, reactor included.

After the leak test the reactor is isolated by blinds if start-up is not going to take place immediately and kept under a nitrogen atmosphere.
