1. SCOPE OVERVIEW
1.1 Scope of Document
This document has been produced to outline the preliminary

specification and interface methodology for the Control Systems
operation of the pipeline and offshore facilities of the Kingsnorth Carbon
Capture & Storage Project. This will also include any onshore pipeline
and Carbon Capture Plant interface requirements.
1.2 Pipeline & Offshore Facility

The Project consists of a circa 270 km dry CO2 pipeline from Kingsnorth
Power Station on the Isle of Grain to a new Offshore Normally
Unattended Installation to utilise the depleted Hewett gas reservoir.
Note: This document boundary starts at the exit of the compressor and
includes the onshore metering and pig launcher.
Figure 1-1: Outline System Schematic

Rev.: 02

The onshore carbon capture plant shall be the responsibilities of others.

The Project shall study two cases as follows:
The base case of a single platform, which is rated to handle the CO 2

that is flowing in the pipeline when in the gaseous phase of the CO2
phase envelope and then shall be upgraded for dense phase
operation. This base case option has a well capacity for 4 wells (one
spare) and has a CO2 handling capacity of 6600 tonnes/day equivalent
to what is produced when generating 400 MW (gross).
An alternative case with enough capacity to handle 12 wells and is able

to cope with an additional dense phase processing module that is
suitable to handle the CO2 produced from a 1600 MW (gross) onshore
power plant (26,400 tonnes/day).
1.3 Definitions
1.4 Offshore Platform Description

2. SCOPE OF SUPPLY/ASSUMPTIONS
The onshore pipeline and offshore components of the Distributed Control

System (DCS) architecture should be integrated with the onshore Power
Station Carbon Capture Plant. For the purposes of this document it is
assumed that the DCS and SCADA terminology are interchangeable, with
emphasis on a scaleable control system with flexible connectivity.
The NUI shall be designed with a minimum of instrumentation to allow

unmanned operation with minimal maintenance. The NUI shall be
provided with fully automatic local control and safeguarding systems to
allow it to operate autonomously and safely. DCS remote control and
monitoring will be required i.e. controller adjustments, diagnostics, stop
and start equipment or indicate the need for maintenance intervention.
The DCS scope of supply for transport and storage systems will consist of
the following:
2.1 Onshore Metering Station
There will be facilities from the DCS to interface to the onshore custody
transfer standard metering station. Fluid properties will be determined
either by on-line analysis or inferred from compositional data obtained
from spot sampling. It is assumed that due to the constant composition
of the CO2 spot sampling would be sufficient at mutually agreed
intervals.
The DCS will interface with the metering Supervisory flow computer and
any on-line analysers. This will control actuated meter stream valves,
monitoring and storage of meter stream data as required.
2.2 Landfall Shutdown Valve
There will be facilities from the DCS to monitor open/close operations of

36” hydraulic landfall valve and its bypass. The DCS will be able to
open/close the bypass valve. The bypass valve will be normally closed.
The bypass ensures the pressure differential across the Landfall
shutdown valve is minimised before it is reopened.

Rev.: 02

2.3 Landfall Shutdown Valve Electro-Hydraulic Package
It is assumed the valve will be hydraulic operated from an electro-

hydraulic package. There will be facilities from the DCS for remote
control and monitoring of the hydraulic motors, filters and protective
instruments.
2.4 Onshore Electrical Power and Emergency Equipment
There will be facilities to monitor any electrical supplies needed for the
metering station located within the boundaries of the Carbon Capture
Plant, the ESD system to trip the Landfall Shutdown valve and its
electro-hydraulic package. Typically power will be required for onshore
metering station including the meters, flow computers and meter stream
valves. It is assumed the electrical supplies will be backed up by an
Uninterruptible Power Supply located at the Power Station to keep the
essential equipment, listed below, operational:
Emergency Communications;
DCS;
Metering;
Leak Detection System;
ESD System.
Power supplies shall be derived from the 400V auxiliary’s distribution

system for the Carbon capture Plant as designed by others.
2.5 Leak Detection System (Pipeline Integrity)
It is assumed the Leak Detection System consists of third party

computer equipment, which will need to interface with the DCS. This
should be pursued with the Leak Detection system vendor as integration
into the DCS reduces further equipment in the field.
The Leak Detection System will otherwise be provided with its own
industrial computer and Remote Terminal Units for inlet and outlet
pipeline monitoring of flow, pressure and temperature conditions with
real time communications with the DCS. This will provide pipeline leak
detection based on mass imbalance as a minimum.

Rev.: 02

Acoustic leak detection of CO2 for personnel protection may be

employed onshore and offshore. This would be monitored by the DCS
via the Fire and Gas system. Moisture content / dew point monitoring of
the pipeline for corrosion will be included and monitored by the DCS.
2.6 Pigging Operations
It is assumed the pigging operations will be carried out manually with

minimum interface requirements to the DCS.
2.7 Offshore Riser Shutdown Valve
There will be facilities from the DCS to monitor open/close operations of

36” hydraulic emergency shutdown riser valve. The riser valve
hydraulics will be fed from the offshore Hydraulic Power Unit.
2.8 Wellhead Control Panel
There will be facilities from the DCS to remotely control and monitor the
Wellhead Control panel as follows:
The 12 slot Wellhead Control Panel and a separate hydraulic power unit
shall be provided, with 4 active slots for the gas. Each slot shall permit
operation and monitoring of the xmas tree valves for one well. Each well
can be started individually either from the local wellhead control panel or
remotely from the DCS control system, providing the ESD solenoid is
energised. Shutdown of the valves is initiated by the ESD system for
Total Platform Shutdown or Surface Process Shutdown or by specific
flowline or well protection.
2.9 Offshore Hydraulic Power unit
A hydraulic power unit will provide two low pressure supplies as follows:
low pressure supply to the xmas tree valves;

low pressure supply for the topside riser and flowline injection actuated
valves.
The hydraulic power unit shall monitor the hydraulic filters, pressures
and supply/return reservoir levels and control the hydraulic pumps via
Rev.: 02

the DCS and ESD system. The pumps shall operate in duty/standby
mode and be auto-start/stopped under pressure control. Note: Electric
actuation of the Landfall Shutdown valve was not considered as a ‘fail
closed’ action cannot be achieved.
2.10 Offshore Metering
There will be facilities from the DCS to interface to the offshore leak
detection metering station and the individual flowline meters used for
reservoir management. The DCS will interface with the metering
Supervisory flow computer. This will monitor and store meter stream
data as required.
2.11 Offshore Electrical Power and Emergency Equipment
It assumed normal power from shore is provided. A diesel engine driven

emergency back-up generator will provide power to support essential
loads on loss of main power supply and back up the UPS battery
charger power requirements.
2.12 Offshore Electrical Process Heaters
The Electrical process heaters will be controlled by DCS PID

temperature controllers with outputs driving the heater thyristor panel.
The heaters will be used for start-up only in the gas phase. However in
the dense phase continuous heating is required estimated at 6 MW per
well.
2.13 Offshore Motor Operated Choke Valves
There will be facilities from the DCS to control and monitor the operation
of the injection choke valves. The choke valves will be actuated by
electric motors.
2.14 Offshore Hydrate Inhibition
There will be facilities from the DCS to control and monitor the hydrate
inhibition package consisting of pumps and storage tank.

Rev.: 02

2.15 Offshore HVAC System
There will be facilities from the DCS to ensure the Temporary Safe
Refuge / LER shall be a pressurised, ventilated and temperature
controlled environment. The DCS should control the HVAC equipment
as required.
2.16 Downhole Well Monitoring System
It is assumed the well monitoring data is to be transmitted onshore via

the DCS system. Preliminary well monitoring design indicates the
following requirements:-
Downhole temperature
Downhole pressure
Distributed fibre-optic temperature sensors.
2.17 Emergency Shutdown System
The Emergency Shutdown system should be completely independent

from the DCS. The DCS interfaces for integrating the shutdown system
into the DCS facilities such as the HMI should not compromise the
integrity of the shutdown system.
2.18 Fire & Gas System
The Fire and Gas system shall be completely independent from the DCS
and may be used to detect CO2 for personnel protection. The interfaces
for the Fire and Gas system to the DCS should not compromise the
integrity of the Fire and Gas system.
2.19 Data communications
The onshore and offshore transfer of data communication or Operational

communication methods for control, monitoring and Safeguarding
signals see document [ref 5].

Rev.: 02

2.20 Remote NUI Operation
The NUI will require remote operation from Kingsnorth Power Station.
On loss of communications or pipeline leak detection there should be
facilities from the DCS for a controlled shutdown and a trip after a period
of time.
The DCS may be used to remotely operate other safety systems such as
helideck lights and non-directional beacons on NUI. Systems used for
remote control are required to be fail-safe.
To avoid multiple concurrent operations by both local and remote

access, a local switch shall be incorporated to provide for local or remote
control only. Remote control includes capability for the remote initiation
of shutdown via telemetry in an emergency.

Rev.: 02

3. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Environmental Data – Internal Offshore
Under normal/upset conditions the environmental conditions within the

Temporary Safe Refuge / LER will be typically:
Maximum normal/upset temperature: 30 / 35 °C

Minimum normal/upset temperature: 15 / -6 °C
Relative normal/upset humidity: 30 to 70% / 100%
Atmosphere: Non-saliferous
All equipment shall be capable of operating continuously under these

environmental conditions.
3.2 Power Supplies On/Offshore
A 240V AC 50 Hz single phase power supply should be utilised to feed

all non-essential panel supplies, e.g. panel lighting and the power
distribution for the connection of test equipment.
A 240V AC 50 Hz dual onshore and 24V DC offshore dual secure power

supplies from a UPS should be utilised in a redundant configuration to
feed the essential equipment installed in the DCS panel, to support the
hardware where the programmable logic resides, and the engineering
workstations. For offshore the vendor shall supply power inverters to
allow for any supplied equipment that requires secure voltages other
than 24VDC.

Rev.: 02

4. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
4.1 DCS Requirements
DCS component redundancy shall be provided throughout. Any failed

component should be able to be replaced online without affecting the
process. If the vendor is unable to comply with this or feels it is
unnecessary then component failure rate data should be supplied for
consideration.
Note: Input/Output (I/O) shall generally be provided as non-redundant.

However, for example the HVAC I/O shall be dual redundant if increased
availability is required.
The DCS will be capable of expansion of any new plant through the life
of the facility. The DCS should have initially 20% installed I/O cards
spare capacity and 20% or better spare loading on installed controllers.
The Alarms and Sequence of Events data will be provided by the DCS.
Alarms shall be categorised in accordance with severity of
consequences and Operator response time. Priority category such as
Urgent, High, Low and Journal shall be developed that match the target
alarm processor. In practice Urgent alarms are reserved for Fire and
Gas alarms.
Communication redundancy shall be provided in the form of duplicated

Network connectivity. Each Network connected component of the
system will utilise dual Network cards which, in the event of failure to
communicate via one Network port, shall automatically switch to the
second Network port.
The DCS should provide the facility for short term data archiving and
integration with a Data Historian system.
4.2 DCS Interfaces
The equipment packages that warrant their own Control System should
have communications to the DCS. The preferred method of industrial
protocol should be agreed between the DCS and package vendor.

Rev.: 02

The Process Control Network, which is the highest level backbone prior
to the Office Domain and links systems and equipment packages,
should be built on standard Ethernet TCP/IP. It should use OPC
standard protocol. However, if physical or commercial constraints, do not
allow high bandwidth network then DCS vendors usually have more than
one solution according to the required functionality e.g. extending the
DCS control bus.
The metering supervisory computer for onshore and offshore metering

should have communications to the DCS.
The Leak Detection system computer for pipeline integrity should have
communications to the DCS.
The Downhole Well Monitoring system should have communications to

the DCS.
The field instruments should be supplied with HART compatible

electronics. The DCS will require to have HART enabled I/O to allow
access to all HART parameters of the field device.
DCS interfaces will be split into four types and not mixed within the
system cabling:
Digital Intrinsically Safe (IS)

Analogue IS
Digital Non IS
Analogue Non IS
4.3 Human Machine Interface
The Human Machine Interface (HMI) element of each Operator station

shall be the direct interface between the user and the DCS for the
monitoring, operation and control from both the NUI and Power Station
control rooms. The Workstations shall each consist of an arrangement of
multi-headed colour 21" LCD monitors, keyboard and mouse interfaces.
The graphic conventions used for the displays will conform to best
engineering practices. The screen space and layout of information
should be consistent with good practices from the Abnormal Situation
Management Consortium [www.asmconsortium.net]. The graphics shall
use a standard package which can be exported to a web server for view
only access. The following graphics as a minimum should be required:

4.4 I/O Count
The I/O estimate schedule will be across all systems DCS, ESD, F&G
and include third party systems. This will be referenced in the I/O
Systems Estimate Schedule reference document number KCP-GNS-
INC-SDL-0001.

Rev.: 02

5. DOCUMENTATION
The Supplier shall produce and issue documentation that shall include a
list of all necessary documentation, to interface, install, commission,
operate and maintain the equipment.
A complete set of Purchaser approved ‘As-Built’ documents shall be

supplied by the Supplier in accordance with applicable engineering
standards and returned to the Purchaser. As-built drawings shall include
all Supplier Design and Construction/Installation drawings.
6. INSPECTION & TESTING

6.1 Inspection
The DCS vendor shall invite Purchaser to a pre-inspection meeting to

discuss and agree all witness, hold, and review points detailed on the
Supplier’s Quality Control Plan(s). Tests or inspections identified as hold
points on the Quality Control Plan must be carried out before any further
work can proceed, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Purchaser.
6.2 Testing
The Vendor shall carry out comprehensive testing procedures to ensure

full functionality of the DCS prior to offering the equipment for witnessed
FAT. The overall testing procedure should include vendor tests and
witnessed FAT.
The DCS vendor shall then carry out a Site Acceptance Test procedure
to demonstrate to the Purchaser, prior to commencement of
commissioning, that each element of the system is fully operational and
that no equipment failures have occurred.
