EXECUTIVE SUMMARY :
This report has been composed with deliberate to share my individual encounter at
Hascol Petroleum Limited as an Engineering student and to give exposure to
the future internees as well as any person who needs to know around it. In this
way, I personally need to call it a review-based write-up report. In case anybody
needs to know about the corporate profile, at that point the official site portrays at
its best that’s why I have not examined around it independently.

As a polymer and petrochemical engineer I got to know a lot about petrol pumps and fuels, commercial
fuels ,lubricants(additives and synthesis) ,explosive department and about Health, safety and
environment(HSE).

Hascol Petroleum Limited buys, stores, and sells petroleum products like fuel oil, gasoline, high-speed
diesel, and FUCHS lubricants.
The Government of Pakistan gave Hascol an oil marketing licence in February 2005. Since that time,
Hascol has been working to build a retail network under the Hascol brand and has opened more than 500
retail locations throughout the four provinces of Pakistan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir. Hascol Petroleum
Limited, which is currently the second-largest importer of petroleum products after PSO. Hascol has
strong ties to both domestic and foreign oil trading companies.
Hascol sells LPG as well. 15 Automax LPG Stations are now through various phases of approval with the
Pakistani government across the country. Hascol has joined the elite group of Pakistan Stock Exchange-
listed firms, and since the company was listed there in 2014, its share price has increased significantly,
keeping up with the amazing expansion of the business. The Board's strategic vision and Senior
Management's exceptional execution have allowed for this enormous development. Storage facility
construction in Keamari, Daulatpur, Shikarpur, Mehmood Kot, Machike, and Amangarh has advanced
significantly under the direction of Hascol. Sahiwal, Kotlajam, and Thalian each have new storage

5. CF : Company Financed

Fuel System Components :

 Electrofusion welding: Electrofusion welding is the most common welding technique for
joining PE pipes. Because of the consistency of the electrofusion welding process in creating strong
joints, it is commonly employed for the construction and repair of gas-carrying pipelines

 Dispenser : A dispenser is a device that dispenses liquid fuel such as gasoline or

compressed natural gas while measuring the amount dispensed.

 UDC: Under-dispenser containment is containment underneath the dispenser system designed to

prevent leaks from the dispenser and piping within or above the UDC from reaching soil or
groundwater.

7|Page
  UPP pipes: UPP piping systems are designed in various diameters, from 32-160 mm (I”-6”) for
the transfer of fuels in filling station fore courts.

 Petro Submerssible Pumps : pumps are responsible for delivering fuel to thousands of
customers.

 Overfill Protection Device : An OPD is a backup safety shutoff device incorporated into the
filling valve of a propane cylinder. It is designed to prevent cylinder overfilling in excess of the
cylinder's maximum permitted filling limit.

 Shut off valve : A valve, installed in the product line of a pressurized system and positioned level
with the top surface of a pump island, just below the dispenser. The valve is capable of
automatically shutting off the flow of motor fuel in event of a fire at the dispenser, or in event the
dispenser, fed by a submersible pump, is knocked over or pulled off its base. An emergency shutoff
valve is designed to operate when an accident of this sort dislodges the dispenser.

 Breakaway coupling : Safety Breakaway Couplings (Emergency Release Couplings) with

integrated shut-off valves are used to avoid spillage and damage associated with drive and/or pull
away incidents when loading and unloading. The couplings are designed to be the weakest link of
the hose line or loading arm.

Parameters which describes Fuel Quality:

 Fuel Density : Density is mass per unit volume. If a fuel has higher density than other, it means
much more mass is entering into the combustion chamber for the same volume.

 Moisture Content: The moisture content affects the combustion of the fuel and therefore its
commercial value. The industry is now interested in obtaining a method for measuring the moisture
content of biofuel, quickly and reliably; preferably on delivery at the power plant.

 Ash Content: The ash content is a measure of inorganic impurities in the fuel (typically sand,
nickel, aluminium, silicon, sodium, and vanadium), which can cause different kinds of problems.
Typically the ash value is in the range of 0.03%–0.07% by mass.

 Pour Point: The pour point of a crude oil, or a petroleum fraction, is the lowest temperature at
which the oil will pour or flow when it is cooled, without stirring, under standard cooling
conditions.

8|Page
  Flash Point: The lowest temperature at which a liquid (usually a petroleum product) will form a
vapour in the air near its surface that will “flash,” or briefly ignite, on exposure to an open flame.
The flash point is a general indication of the flammability or combustibility of a liquid.

LUBRICANTS:
Base oil + Additives = Lubricants
A base oil is the basis of all lubricants. Lubricants typically have 10% of additives and 90% of base oil.
The saturate level, sulphur level, and viscosity index are used by the American Petroleum Institute (API)
to divide base oils into five classes.
Lubricants are used at:
 Petrol Engines
 Gears
 Compressors
 Hydraulic System
 Heating System

Application Of Lubricants In Petrochemical Industry:
The main purpose of lubricants is to lessen the stress caused by friction between surfaces. These are some
uses for them:
 abrasion-preventative, antioxidant, and antifoaming properties.
 as emulsifiers and demulsifiers.
 as preventatives for corrosion and rust.
 Engine oils, compressor oils, gear oils, and piston oils are used in machinery.
 as well as brake, gear, and hydraulic fluids.
 used in the paint and soap industries.
 Some particular applications for various lubricant varieties include:
 Turbines, vacuum pumps, and semiconductor devices all require synthetic lubricants.
 Molybdenum is employed as a catalyst and as a paint pigment.
 Medicines often contain liquid lubricants.
 In several sectors, lubricants are also employed as cutting agents. As cutting fluids, oil, water, and
oil emulsion are employed. These fluids are used to lubricate and cool devices.

The vertical cylindrical steel tanks for oil and oil products storage are dangerous facilities. During the long
period of their exploitation the different process decrease tank's safety and increase the risk of accidents.
For example such processes are settlement of foundation, corrosion, fatigue of material, deviation of the
construction in comparison of project form. Accidents with steel tanks cause big financial loss (the product
stored in the tank is much more expensive then the facility itself), the pollution of environment, the risk of
fire and victims. The periodical inspection and diagnosis is a must in order to decrease the risk of partial or
full distraction of tanks and to avoid all the problems that are the consequences of destruction. The
inspection and diagnosis include several activities, related to the inspection of tanks assessment of the
fitness of different elements for further exploitation, determination of zones joints, connections or
construction elements in which the repairing works are a must, determination of safe way of exploitation
assessment of residual resource. According to specialists that made inspection of aboveground steel tanks,
it is necessary to be carried out regular inspections of steel tanks in service.

PIPING AND INSTRUMENTATION DIAGRAM (P&ID)
A piping and instrumentation diagram, or P&ID, shows the piping and related components of a physical
process flow. It’s most commonly used in the engineering field.

FUCTION AND PURPOSE OF P&IDs

P&IDS are foundation to the maintenance and modification of the process that it graphically represent. At
the design stage, the diagram also provides the basis for the development of system control schemes, like
Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP). For processing facilities, it’s a graphic representation of:
1) Key piping and instrument details
2) Control and shutdown schemes
3) Safety and regulatory requirements
4) Basic start up and operational information

USE OF P&IDs
P&IDs are a schematic illustration of the functional relationship of piping, instrumentation and system
equipment components used in the field of instrumentation and control or automation. They are typically
created by engineers who are designing a manufacturing process for a physical plant. These facilities
usually require complex chemical or mechanical steps that are mapped out with P&IDs to construct a plant
and also to maintain plant safety as a reference for Process Safety Information (PSI) in Process Safety
Management (PSM). If something does go wrong, reviewing the P&ID is usually a good place to start.
P&IDs are invaluable documents to keep on hand, whether they’re used to streamline an existing process,
replace a piece of equipment, or guide the design and implementation of a new facility. With the record
they provide, changes can be planned safely and effectively using Management of Change (MOC). P&IDs
are used by field techs, engineers, and operators to better understand the process and how the
instrumentation is interconnected. They can also be useful in training workers and contractors.

Critical Analysis :
I studied about compression and tensile testing in my course MOM and got to know how
important they are in storage facility . Also I leaned about HDPE and additives +lubricants in my
polymer courses and during my internship I got to know about how vast their uses are and
manufacturing and groups of lubricants. I was given a huge knowledge on storage and
transportation of fuel. A vast knowledge of valves kinds of valves and their uses was taught to
me and I also got to know about pumps. Where my knowledge lacked was how important the
safety rules and regulations are to be strictly followed here I got to learn a lot about Health,
safety and environment. My engineering drawing skills were used at maximum level.
Retail sites parts:
 Bouzer Area: LPG would be filled from here followed my tank and then would be supplied
towards dispenser from where it would be supplied to customers.
 Forecourt: The area in which the car travels.
 Dispenser: A fuel dispenser is a machine at a filling station that is used to pump gasoline,
diesel, ethanol fuel, kerosene, or other types of fuel into vehicles.
 Spreader : Product name would be displayed.
 Downlighter : Lights to attract customers
 Canopy : under canopy there are dispensers.
 Pump Ireland: An area on which dispensers resides.
 Fascia : Panaflex with LED lights
 ACM Structure : Aluminium composite Material . It is done via rivets and material used
is Polyurethea composite.
 Distribution Board (DB) : electrical board
 Monolith tower : A vertical banner type displaying name of retail station with price to
attract customers.
 Under canopy lights : Light provided on retail station is due to these under canopy lights
they are of high watts.
PROPERTIES OF A TYPICAL STORAGE FACILITY:
 Vertical tanks for the storage of product: these may be permanently closed from the
roof.However, some also have the concept of pontoons (internal roof) that is installed at
the surface of the product which changes its position as the product level changes. This
overcomes the problem of excessive evaporation of product.
 Semi buried tanks: Excavation is done around the tank position. Sand is filled making
sure it is 90-95% compact.
 Dyke wall: this wall is constructed around the tank. The dyke wall must surround the
area which should be no less than the volume of largest tank. A sloping feature should
also be there to allow the product to flow to the boundary during leakage.
 Product Pump House

20 | P a g e
 Fire Pump House:
1. Engine Driven Pump-Diesel (Requires a diesel tank as well)
2. Motor Driven Pump
3. Jockey
 Gantry: contains bays to store product in tanks. This area is used for the loading and
decanting (lorry to tank) of the product with the help of lorrys.
 API Separator: to separate product from water
 Instruments : are used to measure different quantities at different locations.
 Indicators : are local instruments that can only measure the quantity locally
 Transmitters: constant information is sent regarding the quantity to the control room

 HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE:
Concrete having strength greater than 6000psi is called high strength concrete
CONCRETE TESTS :
 SLUMP TEST
1. Clean the internal surface of the mould and apply oil.
2. Place the mould on a smooth horizontal non- porous base plate.
3. Fill the mould with the prepared concrete mix in 4 approximately equal layers.
4. Tamp each layer with 25 strokes of the rounded end of the tamping rod in a uniform manner
over the cross section of the mould. For the subsequent layers, the tamping should penetrate
into the underlying layer.
5. Remove the excess concrete and level the surface with a trowel.
6. Clean away the mortar or water leaked out between the mould and the base plate.
7. Raise the mould from the concrete immediately and slowly in vertical direction.

 COMPRESSION TEST
1. Remove the specimen from water after specified curing time and wipe out excess
water
from the surface.
2. Take the dimension of the specimen to the nearest 0.2m
3. Clean the bearing surface of the testing machine
4. Place the specimen in the machine in such a manner that the load shall be applied to
the opposite sides of the cube cast.

22 | P a g e
5. Align the specimen centrally on the base plate of the machine.
6. Rotate the movable portion gently by hand so that it touches the top surface of the
specimen.
7. Apply the load gradually without shock and continuously at the rate of
140kg/cm2/minute till the specimen fails
8. Record the maximum load and note any unusual features in the type of failure.

 TENSILE STRENGHT TEST

1. The tensile strength of concrete is one of the basic and important properties. Splitting
tensile strength test on concrete cylinder is a method to determine the tensile strength of
concrete.
2. The concrete is very weak in tension due to its brittle nature and is not expected to resist
the direct tension. The concrete develops cracks when subjected to tensile forces. Thus, it
is necessary to determine the tensile strength of concrete to determine the load at which the
concrete members may crack.
3. Take the wet specimen from water after 7 days of curing
4. Wipe out water from the surface of specimen
5. Draw diametrical lines on the two ends of the specimen to ensure that they are on the
same axial place.
6. Note the weight and dimension of the specimen.
7. Set the compression testing machine for the required range.
8. Keep are plywood strip on the lower plate and place the specimen.

23 | P a g e
9. Align the specimen so that the lines marked on the ends are vertical and centered over
the bottom plate.
10. Place the other plywood strip above the specimen.
11. Bring down the upper plate to touch the plywood strip.
12. Apply the load continuously without shock at a rate of approximately 14-
21kg/cm2/minute (Which corresponds to a total load of 9900kg/minute to
14850kg/minute)
13. Note down the breaking load(P)

VALVES :
A device for controlling the passage of fluid through a pipe or duct, especially an automatic
device
allowing movement in one direction only.
TYPES OF VALVES
Many different types of valves are used in the industry. However, all have the same basic
function
and same basic components to control flow. The following are the types of valves
commonly used
are:
1. GATE VALVE
It has a linear motion to start or stop fluid flow; but it does not regulate or throttle flow. Its
appearance of disk present in the flow stream determines its name. No resistance is offered
when the valve is opened and disc is completely removed from fluid flow. And no leakage
occurs when the valve is closed and the disc completely comes between the fluid flow. A
partially opened gate valve may result in vibration of the disc.
2. GLOBE VALVE

24 | P a g e
A globe valve is a linear motion valve used to stop, start, and regulate fluid flow. It can
either be totally removed or completely closed. The essential principle of globe valve
operation is the perpendicular movement of the disk away from the seat causing the annular
space between the disk and seat ring to gradually close as the valve is closed. This gives
the globe valve good throttling ability, permitting its use in regulating flow. Therefore, the
globe valve may be used for both stopping and starting fluid flow and for regulating flow.
3. BALL VALVE
It has a rotational motion that uses a ball-shaped disk to stop or start fluid flow. The ball
performs the same function as the disk in the globe valve. When the valve handle is turned
to open the valve, the ball rotates to a point where the hole through the ball is in line with
the valve body inlet and outlet. When the valve is shut, the ball is rotated so that the hole
is perpendicular to the flow openings of the valve body and the flow is stopped.
4. NON-RETURNING VALVE (NRV)
When pressure conditions cause reversed flow a non-return valve is fitted to ensure that a
medium flows through a pipe in the right direction allowing the medium to flow in just one
direction. However, when designing the system it must be taken into account that non-
return valve causes a large pressure drop.
5. CHECK VALVE
A clack valve, non-return valve or one-way valve is a valve that normally
allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction. Check valves are two-
port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the
other for fluid to leave; working automatically without any external control. Check valves
are often part of common household items. Although they are available in a wide range of
sizes and costs, check valves generally are very small, simple, or inexpensive. The bodies
(external shells) of most check valves are made of plastic or metal.

Conclusion:
This was a huge learning experience provided by HPL to learn about fuel. In a nutshell,
this internship has been an excellent and rewarding experience. I can summarize that there
have been a lot I've learnt from my work at retail engineering department. It was fantastic
to spend time with knowledgeable and competent engineers. This is a great opportunity for
me, and I believe it will help me shape my career. It was an unforgettable experience.

Needless to say, the technical aspects of the work I've done are not flawless and could be
improved . It is the path where I learned many things about fuel , their storage and the
maintenance of sites and how challenges are offered and how these challenges could be
faced without Fear. In the last I would say there is always more to come.

I'll never be able to thank this prestigious organization enough for providing me with this
opportunity to work as an intern here.
