The loading of liquid fuels and products to trucks and rail cars are simultaneous, this means
more than one truck and rail car loading can be in operation at the same time and loading the
same product.
The number of loading pumps in operation, and the maximum number of loading arms and
hoses of a given product in simultaneous operation will depend on the simultaneity of
operations.
At the moment, there are 3 different Tank Truck Loading Stations, equipped with top loading
and bottom loading (only for Jet A-1) hoses. One is dedicated for HSFO, another one is
dedicated for White SKO and the rest one is used for multiproduct: JET A-1, HOBC, MS,
HSD and JBO. Each of the bays can accommodate 4 tank trucks (HSFO and JET A-1), two
in the right side of the bay and the other two on the left side, 2 tank trucks (SKO) one in the
right side of the bay and the other one in the left side.
The forecast tank truck loading for the different products will be as indicated:
23
Four top loading points for WHITE SKO
On the site visit an unloading point was identified (which we have called PH4) that included:
Two hoses,
Two pumps (one to send the product to the tank prover tank (18000 L) and another
one to send the product to the storage tanks at tank farm,
This unloading point can transfer product from the tank trucks to the storage tanks. The
product handled is MS.
At present, the oil products rail car loading facility consists of two (2) loading bays (islands)
with a double side loading option. Hence, a total of four (4) rail cars can be connected to the
loading hoses at the same time. The first loading bay is equipped with top loading hoses for
the loading of HSFO, SKO, HSD, MS and HOBC, and the second loading bay is equipped
with top loading hoses for the loading of HSFO, HSD and for bottom loading Jet A-1.
For the wagon given the different dimensions of the wagons the best solution is to keep the
existing hoses. For Jet A-1 the loading is bottom loading.
24
Rail Car Unloading Station
On the site visit an unloading point was identified (which we have called PH5) that included:
Two hoses,
This unloading point can transfer product from the Rail Wagon Tanks to the storage tanks.
The product handled is MS for POCL and condensate is also pumped to ERL.
b) LJ-5: All products. Additionally Bunkering operations are done with HSD and HSFO.
At present, loading of Drums (MS, HOBC and SPBS) is done at the Tank Truck Loading
Station close to the Jet A-1 loading gantry (at Petrol Depot)
There is a Barrel Filling Station, where the following products are loaded: HSD, SKO and
MTT. When two different products (HSD and SKO) is loaded at same tank lorry in different
compartment, then the products are loaded at this barrel filling station. Besides MTT is
delivered to both drum and tank lorry.

7.1.3 ELECTRICITY
The actual electrical distribution system basically consists of a network that includes, among
others, the following voltage level and equipment:
There is no Distributed Control System (DCS) in the plant so all the valves are manual.
Distribution cables to motors, from LVSG to starter panels, and from starter panels to motors,
are non-armoured cables introduced into metal tubes, seals, reductions, etc.
- Star-delta (Y-Δ).
Presently most of the motor starters are old and oil circuit breaker type cannot be a part of
automation and must be replaced. A few of such starters are not flameproof. The space
between the pumping sets row and the starters’ row is very narrow for work safety and ease
of carrying out maintenance work.
7.1.4.1 General
From the point of view of Instrumentation & Control, the Inventory Tank system is the only
automated system found in the plant. The main purpose of the Inventory system is to have a
balance of product in each Tank of the Terminal, but there is not a global mass balance of
the plant, which should be a correlation of the input, output and storage of the products.
26
In general, it was observed that most of the equipment available in the Terminal does not
have an immediate capability to be integrated in a Control System to allow the coordinate
control of sequence and the Terminal asset management.
The existing Flow Metering have only local indication of the volume that’s is being
transferred. The automated registration and control of the Mass Balance, and the
possibility to contrast inputs and outputs of the plant are not possible at this time.
Flow meters have been installed in some of the reception lines from the ships, only
for manual operation. The existing Flow meters do not have the capability to be
integrated in the third party systems, in order to have remote supervision, database
recording for generating reports, tables and contrast of data.
The existence of a flow measurement system for fiscal purpose was not identified to
contrast the volumes of loading/unloading, delivery and combined inventory tank:
No Smart instruments are located in pipes, pumps and some if the tanks, so
the stage and condition of the products cannot be correctly supervised, to
identify over or under-pressure, thermal expansion, real flow or leak detection.
This type of instrumentation will be necessary at the three main Terminal
processes:
o Product Storage to know the general operation and safety conditions the
process.
o Product Delivery, from the Tanks to the delivery points, such as trucks,
railway wagons, tankers and barges.
All the valves installed in the plant are manually operated, without limit switches.
Theses valves are not prepared to be connected to be a Control System, and not
ready to be integrated in an automatic operation. The general operator procedures
need the remote voice communication amongst the operators on site, in order to
27
coordinate the alignment of valves, pumps, tanks and loading arms. The current
tracking for product in the plant need is only recorded on paper and the coordination
of the operations is made by remote voice communication between the operators.
Pump Systems are controlled manually by the operator, from the local control station
closed to the own pump, with only start/stop push bottom, but no local indicator lamps
are available to check the real state of the current action.
No Control Systems have been installed in the plant. The Operation is manual only,
for ordinary or basic process control, for Safety Sequences and for detection of Fire
and gas leakage.
No HMI or Scada has been installed, to allow the remote supervision, operation and
control.
The Access Control system is a manual operation for identification of the pedestrian,
cars, trucks and drivers through identification cards readers, and there are no
barriers, lights or other devices integrated in an access control system. Access to the
plant is permitted only with manual registration, without any tracking of circulation and
operation for cars, trucks and people, once they are inside the plant
No TMS (Terminal Management System) has been installed in the plant, as a tool for
Production Management System, to manage the balance of plant, recording the BOM
(Bill of Material), dispatch and activation of the production operation orders from ERP
System, control the accurate tracking product, storage and scheduling, etc.
No ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning) has been installed in the plant for managing
Production, Storage, Loading, Sales, Maintenance and Human Resources
7.1.4.2 RECEPTION
The existing Flow Meters on the pipelines entering the Terminal are only with local indication,
and the automated Mass Balance is not possible without changing them
They do not have any possibility to integrate in the third party systems, due to the lack
of the flow computer, with communication to the Control System or a third party.
28
No fiscalization system for flow measurement systems, due to the lack of a
compensation algorithmic which could be implemented in a local Flow computer. This
kind of fiscal measurement would allow to have an accurate Balance of the plant.
No Smart instruments are located in reception pipelines, from the entry point to the storage
thanks, so the stage and condition of the products cannot be correctly supervised, to identify
over or under-pressure, thermal expansion, real and safety operational conditions.
Valves located in the reception area are manually operated, and they need to be open /
closed by an operator, following manual operations and procedures orders, where the
operators use remote voice transmission by using walky-talkies.
In general, no Thermal Pressure Valves have been installed in the Terminal to avoid
overpressure due to thermal expansion of the fluid.
An Inventory Tank System has been implemented at least in the 95% of the Tank Farm.
Valves are manually operated, there are not valves with automatic actuators valves
and no Smart Instrumentation, in the reception and output lines.
In the POCL Terminal, five pump houses have been located to transfer product between
tanks and to deliver the products to the Trucks, Railway, Drums and Jetty. Each pump has a
local control and operation station with start/stop Push bottom, but no indicator lamps.
Pumps are not integrated to a control system and no smart Instruments were found:
All Valves are manually operated. No Automatic Actuator valves are installed.
Each pump has a By-Pass with manual valve, but no device to control the minimum
flow of pump, in order to avoid cavitation effects.
29
7.1.4.5 LOADING SYSTEM
The lines dispatch only one liquid product, and pump houses are used to load trucks, rail
wagons, ships and drums, but always under manual operations.
Only the loading arms for Trucks and drums include a flow meter with local operation, and it
is mandatory to have manual recording of the total flow loaded.
In some cases, earthing connections have been installed, but in no integrated safety
sequence has been implemented in case of losing the connection.
7.1.5 FIREFIGHTING
7.1.5.1 RECEPTION
In the Jetty zone the system installed is a hydrant-monitor network with his own fire pump, in
this case the system is insufficient, in the recommendations chapter we will give some
solution to improve it.
As a minimum it is necessary to consider the installation of water and foam monitors in each
docking point, with remote control in major installations or when loading class A1 and A2
products. Water screens must also be installed (type Hidroshields) in the barrel area, to
separate possible boat risk from the risk of loading point, and evacuation curtains by flood of
water sprinklers. Monitors must necessarily be far-reaching. All the facilities of firefighting
must be manually and remotely operated from one point adequately separated from the risk
point.
Only some tanks have installed the Fire Fighting system, in this cases the fire protection
system of the tanks is directly connected to hydrant network with a tie-in and a gate valve,
this is not the correct form to install this systems, in the recommendations chapter we will
give some solutions to improve it.
In any storage area where flammable liquids are stored, combustible or toxic, a fire water
ring will be installed around the retention buckets equipped with hydrants.
30
strategically around retention pails and preferably near stations of pumping, access to the
buckets and face / discharge facilities. The storage park area will be covered by monitors (or
monitors mounted on hydrants) whose function will be to cool tanks and spheres. The kind of
monitor will be according to stored products.
Also is necessary to protect the tank, with a water spray system according API RP 2030 and
a foam system, in accordance with OISD Standard 117.
The pumps will be protected by water spraying systems, water mist (if you can ensure that
there is no dragging of the fog produced) or automatic extinguishing systems using
extinguishing powder, in the case of higher spills 2.8 m3. As a minimum they must, all pumps
that are less than 10 meters from the central pump and at most 8 pumps. They will be
protected with at least two nozzles provided that the correct coverage of the equipment is
ensured, preferably oriented to cover suction and discharge flanges. The bulb opening
temperature will be 68 ° C.
Loading racks shall be defined a being either truck or rail car types for the purpose of loading

between the pumping sets row and the starters’ row is very narrow for work safety and ease
of carrying out maintenance work.
7.3.4.1 GENERAL
From the point of view of Instrumentation & Control, the Inventory Tank system is the only
automated system found in the plant. The main purpose of the Inventory system is to have a
balance of product in each Tank of the Terminal, but there is not a global mass balance of
the plant, which should be a correlation of the input, output and storage of the products.
In general, it was observed that most of the equipment available in the Terminal does not
have an immediate capability to be integrated in a Control System to allow the coordinate
control of sequence and the Terminal asset management.
The existing Flow Metering have only local indication of the volume that’s is being
transferred. The automated registration and control of the Mass Balance, and the
possibility to contrast inputs and outputs of the plant are not possible at this time.
No Flow meter has been installed in the reception lines from the ships. We could
consider installing the new one, in order to been included in the products balance of
the Terminal.
The existence of a flow measurement system for fiscal purpose was not identified to
contrast the volumes of loading/unloading, delivery and combined inventory tank:
No Smart instruments are located in pipes, pumps and some of the tanks, so the
stage and condition of the products cannot be correctly supervised, to identify over or
under-pressure, thermal expansion, real flow or leak detection. This type of
instrumentation will be necessary at the three main Terminal processes:
58
Product Storage to know the general operation and safety conditions of the process.
Product Delivery, from the Tanks to the delivery points, such as trucks, railway
wagons, tankers and barges.
All the valves installed in the plant are manually operated, without limit switches.
Theses valves are not prepared to be connected to be a Control System, and not
ready to be integrated in an automatic operation. The general operator procedures
need the remote voice communication amongst the operators on site, in order to
coordinate the alignment of valves, pumps, tanks and loading arms. The current
tracking for product in the plant is only recorded on paper and the coordination of the
operations is made by remote voice communication between the operators.
Pump Systems are controlled manually by the operator from the local control station
closed to the own pump, with only start/stop push bottom, but no local indicator lamps
are available to check the real state of the current action.
No Control Systems have been installed in the plant. The Operation is manual only,
for ordinary or basic process control, for Safety Sequences and for detection of Fire
and gas leakage.
No HMI or Scada has been installed, to allow the remote supervision, operation and
control.
The Access Control system is a manual operation for identification of the pedestrians,
cars, trucks and drivers through identification cards readers, and there are no
barriers, lights or other devices integrated in an access control system. Access to the
plant is permitted only with manual registration, without any tracking of circulation and
operation for cars, trucks and people, once they are inside the plant
No TMS (Terminal Management System) has been installed in the plant, as a tool for
Production Management System, to manage the balance of plant, recording the BOM
(Bill of Material), dispatch and activation of the production operation orders from ERP
System, control the accurate tracking product, storage and scheduling, etc.
No ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning) has been installed in the plant for managing
Production, Storage, Loading, Sales, Maintenance and Human Resources.
59
7.3.4.2 RECEPTION
No Smart instruments are located in reception pipelines, from the entry point to the storage
thanks, so the stage and condition of the products cannot be correctly supervised, to identify
over or under-pressure, thermal expansion, real and safety operational conditions.
Valves located in the reception area are manually operated, and they need to be open /
closed by an operator, following manual operations and procedures orders, where the
operators use remote voice transmission by using walky-talkies.
In general, no Thermal Pressure Valves have been installed in the Terminal to avoid
overpressure due to thermal expansion of the fluid.
An Inventory Tank System has been implemented at least in the 95% of the Tank Farm. We
will consider installing the expansion of the Inventory Tank System, from 95% to the 100%.
Valves are manually operated, there are not valves with automatic actuators and no
Smart Instrumentation in the reception and output lines.
In the JOCL Terminal, one pump house has been located to transfer product between tanks
and to deliver the products to the Trucks, Railway, Drums and Jetty. Each pump has a local
control and operation station with start/stop Push bottom, but no indicator lamps. Pumps are
not integrated to a control system and no smart Instruments were being found:
- No Smart Instrumentation for general measurement is available. Pressure gauges are the
only instruments installed in the pump discharge, so new instrument transmitters should
install next to each pump, to implement both interlocks to protect and correctly operate
pumps.
Lamps and state indicator are recommended for these pumps. This kind of lamps should
be implemented on the screen of the Scada Servers, and next to the pumps, related with
the pump stations.
60
All Valves are manually operated. No Automatic Actuator valves are installed.
Each pump has a By-Pass with manual valve, but no device to control the minimum flow
of pump, in order to avoid cavitation effects.
Every line dispatch only one liquid product, and pump houses are used to load trucks, rail
wagons, ships and drums, but always under manual operations.
Only the loading arms for Trucks and drums include a flow meter with local operation, and it
is mandatory to have manual recording of the total flow loaded.
In some cases, earthing connections have been installed, but no integrated safety sequence
has been implemented in case of losing the connection.
7.3.5 FIREFIGHTING
7.3.5.1 RECEPTION
In the Jetty zone the system for protect this zones combined various hydrant-monitors
connected to a foam tank with a line mixer, with this system the loading zone is protected,
but this system isn´t the most recommendable, we propose a better system in
recommendations for automatization chapter, as a minimum it is necessary to consider the
installation of water and foam monitors in each docking point, with remote control in major
installations or when loading class A1 and A2 products. Water screens must also be installed
(type Hidroshields) in the barrel area, to separate possible boat risk from the risk of loading
point, and evacuation curtains by flood of water sprinklers. Monitors must necessarily be far-
reaching. All the facilities of firefighting must be manually and remotely operated from one
point adequately separated from the risk point.
Only some tanks have installed the Fire Fighting system, in this cases the fire protection
system of the tanks is directly connected to hydrant network with a tie-in and a gate valve,
this is not the correct form to install this systems, in the recommendations chapter we will
give some solutions to improve it.
61
In any storage area where flammable liquids are stored, combustible or toxic, a fire water
ring will be installed around the retention buckets equipped with hydrants.
Also is necessary to protect the tank, with a water spray system according API RP 2030 and
a foam system, in accordance with OISD Standard 117.
The pumps will be protected by water spraying systems, water mist (if you can ensure that
there is no dragging of the fog produced) or automatic extinguishing systems using
extinguishing powder, in the case of higher spills 2.8 m3. As a minimum they must, all pumps
that are less than 10 meters from the central pump and at most 8 pumps. They will be
protected with at least two nozzles provided that the correct coverage of the equipment is
ensured, preferably oriented to cover suction and discharge flanges. The bulb opening
temperature will be 68 ° C.
Loading racks shall be defined a being either truck or rail car types for the purpose of loading
or unloading product.
Total rack size, flammable or combustible products involved, proximity of other hazards and
exposure drainage facilities, wind conditions, ambient temperatures, and available staff all
shall be factored into the design of loading rack foam system.
62
• Foam monitors.
7.3.6 PIPING
The piping network will be of carbon steel according to American Petroleum Institute
(API) 5L grade B specification or ASTM A 106 Gr B.
All pipes and pipe fittings (valves, flanges, joints, etc.) will be designed with a 150#
rating.
All joints between pipes or pipes and fittings will be butt welded.

At present, there are a lot of operations in the Lightering Jetty and in the side of the main
jetties, where a really wide range of different barges and vessels that load and unload
products.
Then, the operations of loading and unloading is advisable to continue being through hoses
and flanges.
The inputs and output of products will be measured by flowmeters integrated in the control
system and of course in the inventory systems, but no new loading and unloading facilities
are planned.
The existing starters MCC will be dismantled, and modern MCCs (intelligent) will be installed
in a new dedicated electrical room located near of every pump House, including, ETP, UPS,
Lighting and MOV Panels. The proposal for automation is to define a new iMCC for every
77
Pump House (DP, NDP and FO). These iMCCs will be able to interact with the new
Distributed Control System (DCS) and the new ESD (Emergency Shutdown).
The new iMCC shall be fed from the main existing Low Voltage Switchgear. For this plant, 3
iMCCs will be designed with the following main characteristics:
o A system comprising control modules, central unit(s), a serial bus connecting the
control modules to the central unit and a communication facility enabling connection
of the central unit to a Distributed Control System (DCS) through a Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC).
o The general bars shall be dimensioned, at least, for the incoming circuit breakers
rated current at the maximum temperature of the environmental conditions.
o The enclosure of the switchboard shall ensure a degree of protection against solid
foreign bodies and water of no less than IP41 according to the IEC 60529 Degrees of
protection provided by enclosures.
o The complete switchboard shall comply with Form 4b as indicated in IEC 60439 -1,
with separation panels between connection terminals for external power cables.
o The proposed Motor starter systems (starter installed inside de IMCC whenever
possible) shall be as follows:
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) if required by the process, only for new motors
with duty type service S9 Acc. to IEC 60034-1.
o Starter Control Unit (SCU) modules shall be suitable for mounting in the motor
starter/feeder compartments or in an adjacent (common) compartment.
o The interface between the installed starter/feeder unit and the communication bus
within the Assembly shall be an integral part of the starter/feeder. The starter/feeder
78
compartment shall remain withdrawable and the connection to the communication
bus shall be a single connection using self-centering plugs and sockets.
o The iMCS software shall allow access for engineering purposes to any SCU, on or off
line. Facilities to change set points, prepare or examine motor trend analysis, etc.,
shall be provided. Access to vital motor settings and DCS (Distributed Control
System) configuration shall be password protected.
o The communication interface bus between the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), Ethernet
Switches and the SCUs shall withstand electromagnetic disturbances and be fully
protected against short circuits or any other failure without loss of communication.
o For every motor starter 1 Rotary switch with two fixed positions: Local-Remote, 1 pole
(in one position it closes one contact and in the other it closes another) shall be
installed in order to make a control selection (locally or remote from DCS (Distributed
Control System)).
In order to control de motors locally, will be designed an RCU for every motor with the
following main characteristics:
o The control stations shall be designed for hazardous area. The type of protection
shall be a combination of "increased safety" and "flameproof" methods. Made of glass
fiber reinforced polyester (GRP).
o RCU and cable glands shall be certified and marked in accordance with the pertinent
standards.
o The marking shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and regulations.
79
1 Local/Remote hand switch
An independent Mushroom Pushbutton for hazardous area will be located at the pump house
in order to interact with the ESD-iMCC and provoque a safety emergency stop to the motors
in case of necessity with the following main characteristics:
From the point of view of Instrumentation & Control, the Level Gauge and Inventory System,
(henceforth called Inventory Tank System) is the only automated system found in the plant.
The main purpose is to have a balance of product in each tank of the terminal, but there is
not a global mass balance, which should be a correlation of the input, output and storage of
the products.
Expand the Inventory Tank System over 100% of tanks farm, and integrate all of them
into the existing loop communication ENRAF controllers (CIU prime and CIU plus).
Integrate the complete Inventory Tank System into the new main DCS Distribution
control System. ENRAF controllers, shall be integrated to the DCS, via Control Bus
Modbus TCP/IP communication standard.
80
One Temperature Transmitter (connected to Smart Radar Level as temperature
compensator).
One Tank Side Indicator (local digital indicator connected to Smart Radar Level and
installed at the foot of the tank to see the level in real time).
The Inventory Tank System is completely autonomous, so it can record levels, product
calculations and tank availability, among other functions.
Automatic mode: Local mode is not considered. Any data recording operation will be
automatic mode from the operations screen in the same Inventory System located in the
Control Room. In the same operating console, the operator will automatically take decisions
to align valves and initiate the tank filling sequence, prior notice of availability tank from
ENRAF system.
The tank storage operations commonly face the risk of contamination and loss of volume If
isolation valves leak. Currently some line blinds are installed in the plant piping system to
avoid leakage, but the use of line blinds for segregation involves a long, costly, and
hazardous process of drain down, lockout, and tagout. The Traditional gate valves in double
block-and-bleed configuration installed, may produce loss of fuel from the open bleed.
In order to avoid leakage and product loss, double block and bleed valves will be used, they
are highly recommended as they offer simple, provable and tank-side isolation, ensuring
valve integrity.
The use of this type valves will bring the following benefits:
81
- Zero leakage. Valves withstand frequent cycling and have drop tight seal shut off up
and down stream.
- No shear forces. The valve seals are separated from the body and are maintained at
this state during plug rotation. This eliminates abrasion forces from seals and extends
seal life.
- One double-block&bleed block. If any leakage occurs, it would be eliminated via the
bleed.
- In line maintenance: It is possible to inspect and replace the sealing slips with the
valve still in line.
Motorized valves shall be electrically actuated and will be communicated in a ring topology
with high availability and interconnected to the Main Control System via Master Station
Rotork Unit. MOV related to Emergency Shutdown shall be hardwired directly to ESD
(Emergency Shutdown) System.
The motorized valve shall be also equipped, at least with the following components:
A Rotork Master Station unit will control a certain set of MOVs (about sixty MOVs per Master
Station), with a redundant communication path to provide a high availability for the DCS in
case of communication failure and spurious trips. Master Station should communicate with all
MOVs to:
82
Controlling actions of opening/closing valves
Main DCS through the communication Control Bus via Modbus TCP/IP protocol
ESD (Emergency Shutdown) for emergency stop events related with safety
control sequences. The connection shall be conventional wiring to the ESD cards
terminals.
Will be defined Ex rated local panels for Motor Operated Valves (MOV), suitable for outdoor
installation in hazardous areas with the aim to feed motor valve actuators; thirty (30) circuit
breaker per panel as per drawing 24020-GEN-E-DW-502-00 Typical MOV Panel Scheme
(included in Section 7).
o The external enclosure of the switchboard will ensure a degree of protection against
the entry of solid bodies of no less than IP65.
The automated registration and control of the Mass Balance, provide the possibility to
contrast inputs and outputs of the products in the Terminal, so that it is mandatory to record
83
them to obtain the mass accurate balance in the plant, when inputs and output are added
with the inventory tanks. The Most important metering points are:
Metering point in the loading arms for dispatching to the trucks and drums
In Flow Metering for pipes with custody transfer between vendor and buyer, the balance of
product in the Terminal have to be done with high quality measurement, so that Fiscalization
system for flow measurement systems needs to have, a compensation algorithmic which
could be implemented in a local Flow computer. This kind of fiscal measurement would allow
to have an accurate Balance of the plant, with compensation mechanisms. So, Flow
computer is needed, to calculate the flow compensated in Temperature and pressure, in a
monophasic state of the flow, which is liquid in this case, due to the liquid hydrocarbon.
In this kind of installation Skid, the conditioning of the flow process in mandatory, having:
Control Valves, which allows to control pressure of the flow which go through the
flow, and assure not to have bubble in the measurement procedure.
A compact metering for loading trucks include similar component than the Skid Metering, but
in a compact format of installation:
Flow computer
In the next table, we try to identify the specific application of the Flow Metering, into the
different relative locations in the terminal and principal of measurement for instruments
(ultrasonic, Coriolis, etc).

This chapter clarifies the basic principles and general technical requirements of the control
and supervision of the terminal's hydrocarbon tank farm. The specific details of the
automation and control system will be defined in general drawing, equipment specifications,
control system documents and diagrams to be developed by EPC contractor later in detail
engineering. The following criteria have been considered in the design of the terminal Control
System:
Dispatch Area (Delivery trucks, Delivery rail wagons and Delivery ships)
The integration of field instrumentation and packaged equipment has been considered in all
areas associated with the Terminal.
85
The Control System will be configured based on drawing 24020-PAD-I-DW-500-00 Control
System Architecture POCL (included in Section 7).
There will also be three levels of automation: Field level, Control Level and Supervision Level
Field Level:
The field level is constituted by the field instruments, motorized valves, bus gateways, input /
output signal cards. The interface between the Field Level (instrumentation) and Control
Level will be made in conventional cabling for analog signals and communication cabling
under protocol Modbus TCP/IP for communicated signals.
Control level:
The control level consists of control system controllers and package units sub-systems. The
control elements in this level are communicated each other with the operation and
supervision system through a redundant Ethernet Control Bus. Also, at this level, the
operating sequences, the safety interlocks and the terminal control logic are executed.
Supervision Level:
The supervision level is represented by the Operating Stations, Engineering, Printers and
remote terminals of the sub-system units.
Level dedicated only to users of the control system, instant and massive data management,
and communication with the Company's document management system.
Application Servers
Engineering Stations
Operating Stations
The integration of the following systems has been considered for the three (3) areas
considered.
- Flowmeter System of the jetty Ship unloading and flowmeter of refinery pipeline.
86
- Inventory Tank System, based on volume measurement technology ENRAF type and
accessory equipment.
Dispatch Area:
- Identification and Management System for Truck delivery through electronic cards.
Automatic Mode:
Is produced based on the control sequence steps implemented in the terminal control logic
operation that will be described in the corresponding functional documents. The Start/Stop
permissive must be met regarding to maintain the safety operation in all the terminal. In
control room, the supervision and operation will be made through screen operation stations,
indicators and buttons in automatic mode.
The operator performs the Start/Stop operation from existing pushbuttons on the Operator
Stations Screens. Previously, the Start/Stop permissive stablished in the control logic must
be met.
Local Mode:
The Start/Stop will be carried out by the operator in the field through the Local Stations at the
foot of each electrical equipment. Through the local/remote selector (field) it will be possible
to Start/Stop the equipment locally and from the control room it will be possible to view the
operating mode by means of a confirmation signal. There will be two (2) different local
modes: from local stations in the field and from control room in the operation screen of Main
Control System.
87
11.1.12 FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM
The installation's fire-fighting system will be dimensioned considering the highest possible
individual risk.
Thermal radiation received by vulnerable elements located in the vicinity of fires requires
knowledge of numerous variables, such as, the geometry of the fire. The heat generated by
combustion, the fraction that is emitted in the form of radiation, the possible formation of
fumes, radiation absorbed by the atmosphere, the position of the object, etc.
The criteria for affecting surfaces to be cooled according to the tanks or other fire risk in the
project, will be based on determining a distance that guarantees that the fire cannot spread
to neighboring containers. As criteria for affecting the project (in all scenarios) the equipment
or facilities that are affected by a thermal radiation flux of 12.50 kw/ m2 must be taken into
account.
In order to size the fire pump and the water reserve, the most risky scenario to consider in
this project is the fire in a tank, and the projection of water on 50% of the surface of the tank
wall adjacent areas that are affected by thermal radiation.
In the Jetty zone, the current system for protect this zones combine various hydrant-monitors
connected to a foam tank with a line mixer for provide foam, with this system the loading
zone are protected, but this system is not the most recommendable, with the current
configuration is very difficult to manage a manual monitor, because the radiation will be very
high in the zone in case of fire, the proposed system include a monitor tower with remote
control in a safe zone , as minimum it´s necessary to consider the installation of water and
foam monitors in each docking point. Water screens or curtains (Hidroshields) must also be
installed along the loading point of the jetty zone, to separate possible fire risk in a ship from
loading point. All the facilities of firefighting must be manually and remotely operated from
one point adequately separated from the risk point.
Only some tanks have installed Fire Fighting system, in this cases the fire protection system
of the tanks is directly connected to hydrant network with a tie-in and a gate valve, this is not
an automatic mode for protect the tanks, with this system in case of fire you need to go to the
88
valve and open in the system, normally this system does not work in case of fire because
any operator can´t support the radiation of the burned tank.
Also is necessary to protect the tank, with a water spray system and a foam system, in
accordance with OISD-117 Fire Protection Facilities for Petroleum Depots, Terminal, Pipeline
Installation & Lube Oil Installation standards.
Water flow calculated, for cooling a tank on fire at a rate of 3 lpm/m2 of tank shell area.
Water flow calculated, for exposure protection for all other tanks falling within a radius
of (R +30) m from centre of the tank on fire (R-Radius of tank on fire) and situated in
the same dyke, at a rate of 3 lpm/m2 of tank shell area.
Water flow calculated, for exposure protection for all other tanks falling outside a radius
of (R+30) m from centre of the tank on fire and situated in the same dyke, at a rate of 1
lpm/ m2 of tank shell area.
Spray nozzles shall be directed radially to the tank at a distance not exceeding 0.6 M
from the tank surface.
Foam solution applicable rate for cone roof tanks shall be taken as 5 lpm/m2
In the fixed roof tank, the foam discharge is done normally intersuperficially, the tanks must
have the followings foam chambers.
Foam Chambers
Tank Diameter (meters)
(No)
Above 18 & up to 20 2
Above 20 & up to 25 3
Above 25& up to 30 4
Above 30 & up to 35 5
Above 35 & up to 40 6
Above 40 & up to 45 8
Above 45& up to 50 10
Source: TR
89
An additional foam chamber will be installed for tank more than 60 diameters meters for each
465 m2.
Fixed foam discharge outlets located above the mechanical shoe seal, above a tube seal
water shield, or above a secondary seal shall be used in conjunction with a foam dam.
The following methods shall be permitted for application of fixed foam discharge outlets:
Fixed foam discharge outlets mounted above the top of the tank shell
- Fixed foam discharge outlets mounted on the periphery of the floating roof.
Source: TR
Where the fixed foam discharge outlets are mounted above the top of the tank shell, a foam
splash-board is necessary due to the effects of winds.
The detection for floating-roof and fixed tanks will be doing with a fiber optic wire. This
system is composed by a control unit and the wire, the system is highly recommended to
protect zones like a tank farm, early detection allows time for automatic or manual
extinguishing and draining volatile fuels.
90
This system is very sensible, can detect an increasing of temperature in a specific point, the
system easily adapts to retrofit or new installation in both internal and external floating tank.
For a floating roof tank the wire will be installed in the seal along the perimeter of tank, for a
fixed tank the wire will be installed in monitor gauge points, vent arear or manholes.

A confined pool fire is a fire produced by the combustion of fuel spill within a boundary or
perimeter where confines the mass of hydrocarbon. Boundaries can be made up of walls that
enclose a certain area. Fire or liquid fuel fire requires a point of ignition, the oxidizer (oxygen
in the air) and the triggering of the reaction. For this type of fire (pool fire). This type of risk
exists in any tank or container or pool that stores hydrocarbons, as well as in areas that
handle hydrocarbons capable of suffering spills and catching fire, for this type of fire is very
highly recommended use flame detectors.
Flame detectors utilize optical technologies to detect flames. Flames are known to emit
electromagnetic radiation in the infrared (IR), visible light, and ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths
depending on the fuel source. Because of this, optical flame-sensing technologies have been
developed utilizing UV, UV/IR and multi-spectrum infrared. These products rely on line-of-site
detection of the radiation emitted in the spectral bands to determine if a flame is real.
91
Consider whether the potential flame you are looking to detect will be hydrocarbon based or
non-organic. With Hydrocarbon flames, a combination of methane and oxygen produce
carbon dioxide and water. This type of fire creates a UV signal reading at 0.2 microns and IR
signal reading at 2.7 microns and 4.5 microns. Hydrogen flames only produce water
molecules and therefore we do not see the same CO2 peak that a hydrocarbon flame is
known to produce.
Optical flame detectors come with a “field of view” range, similar to the lens on a camera.
Taking the field of view range into account will help determine how many detectors are
needed to cover an installation or a specific area within the installation.
Source: TR
The fixed extinguishing system based on water-foam for the protection of hydrocarbon
dispatch pumps must have the necessary elements to apply a design regime of not less than
20.4 lpm/m2), all according to the OISD Standard 117.
92
They will be protected with at least two nozzles provided that the correct coverage of the
equipment is ensured, preferably oriented to cover suction and discharge flanges.
The detection system can be done electrically, using heat detectors (Fenwall detectors) or it
can be done with a pneumatic detection system using sprinklers.
Fenwall detectors are highly reliable and have good resistance to operation from non-hostile
sources. They are also very easy and inexpensive to maintain. On the down side, they do not
function until room temperatures have reached a substantial temperature, at which point the
fire is well underway and damage is growing exponentially. Subsequently, thermal detectors
are usually not permitted in life safety applications. They are also not recommended in
locations where there is a desire to identify a fire before substantial flames occur, such as
spaces where high value thermal sensitive contents are housed.
A spot type heat detector will cover all points located within 0.7 times the listed spacing. The
listed spacing for heat detectors is S= 50 ft (15.3 m).
The fixed extinguishing system based on water-foam for the protection of hydrocarbon
loading areas (loading trucks and wagon loading) must have the necessary elements to
apply a design regime of not less than 6.5 lpm / m2 (0.16 gpm / p2) for a period of 10 minutes,
all according to the OISD Standard 117.
Also, the system must be completed with additional discharge of the foam monitors installed
neared of the loading zones.
The detection system will be done with fenwall thermal detectors combined with flame
detectors.
11.1.12.5 HYDRANTS
Hydrants will be installed following the design codes of OISD Standard 117. They must be
secured to the pipe and anchored, in accordance with the requirements of OISD Standard
117.
The hydrants must have a connection diameter with the main pipe not less than 6”. Each
hydrant must be equipped with an individual shutoff valve located on the bypass that
93
connects to the main network. Between every two hydrants an exterior hose cabinet with
hoses for hydrants will be installed.
11.1.12.6 MONITORS
Fixed water or water / foam monitors will be installed at strategic points, in areas with a
thermal impact of less than 5.1 Kw / m2, and around or within areas where a fire risk has
been identified. The fixed monitors will be autonomous or installed in hydrants.
In particular, monitors will be installed in hydrants located around process areas and storage
and transfer facilities for toxic, flammable or LPG products.
The monitors will be foam-water monitors around the hydrocarbon storage areas such as
diesel and gasoline.
With the pressure and flow data of the existing pumps in the installation, the capacity of the
pump is insufficient. Therefore it is necessary to install new pumps, the pumps have to meet
the water demand of the scenario with the highest risk, in this case the highest risk is a fire in
tank T-02, and the affected tanks by the fire radiation, tanks T-01,T-03,T-04, T-05, T-06.
The pumps shall be capable of discharging 150% of its rated discharge at a minimum of 65%
of the rated head. The Shut-off head shall not exceed 120% of rated head.
The water reserve tank doesn´t need to be calculated, the water supply comes from an
inexhaustible natural source.
The design of the fire pump and installation must be in accordance with OISD Standard 117
and NFPA 20 codes.
The POCL facility has an oily water collection system, using underground networks that
discharge into an open pool, where the water and hydrocarbon are separated by gravity.
Improvement of the contaminated water treatment system is included in the scope of the
project.
94
Facilities and equipment will be designed so that water discharged to the outside of the
Storage Facility will have a hydrocarbon content that is below the limits allowed by the
regulations. In order to reach these limits, an analyzer and flow measurement system will be
available that will record in real time the hydrocarbon content and the discharge flow, not
allowing the exit if this content exceeds the pre-set limits, and therefore returning it to the
start of treatment. This system facilitates the control of the discharge in real time, as well as
allowing the elaboration of weekly, monthly and annual statistics with the stored records.

11.2.5 MODIFICATIONS FOR JETTIES LOADING AND UNLOADING OPERATIONS
At present, there are a lot of operations in the Lightering Jetty and in the side of the main
jetties, where a really wide range of different barges and vessels that load and unload
products.
Then, the operations of loading and unloading is advisable to continue being through hoses
and flanges.
The inputs and output of products will be measured by flowmeters integrated in the control
system and of course in the inventory systems, but no new loading and unloading facilities
are planned.
The existing starters MCC will be dismantled, and modern MCCs (intelligent) will be installed
in a new dedicated electrical room located near of every pump House. The proposal for
automation is to define a new iMCC for every Pump House (North and South) including ETP,
UPS, Lighting and MOV Panels. These iMCCs will be able to interact with the new
Distributed Control System (DCS) and the new Emergency Shutdown (ESD) located in new
Control Room.
The new iMCCs shall be fed from the main existing Low Voltage Switchgear. The new
iMCCs will be designed with the following main characteristics:
o A system comprising control modules, central unit(s), a serial bus connecting the control
modules to the central unit and a communication facility enabling connection of the
central unit to a distributed control system (DCS) through a Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC).
o The general bars shall be dimensioned, at least, for the incoming circuit breakers rated
current at the maximum temperature of the environmental conditions.
o The enclosure of the switchboard shall ensure a degree of protection against solid
foreign bodies and water of no less than IP41 according to the IEC 60529 Degrees of
protection provided by enclosures.
110
o The complete switchboard shall comply with Form 4b as indicated in IEC 60439 -1, with
separation panels between connection terminals for external power cables.
o The proposed Motor starter systems (starter installed inside de IMCC whenever
possible) shall be as follows:
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) if required by the process, only for new motors
with duty type service S9 Acc. to IEC 60034-1.
o Starter Control Unit (SCU) modules shall be suitable for mounting in the motor
starter/feeder compartments or in an adjacent (common) compartment.
o The interface between the installed starter/feeder unit and the communication bus within
the Assembly shall be an integral part of the starter/feeder. The starter/feeder
compartment shall remain withdrawable and the connection to the communication bus
shall be a single connection using self-centering plugs and sockets.
o The iMCS software shall allow access for engineering purposes to any SCU, on or off
line. Facilities to change set points, prepare or examine motor trend analysis, etc., shall
be provided. Access to vital motor settings and DCS (Distributed Control System)
configuration shall be password protected.
o The communication interface bus between the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), Ethernet
Switches and the SCUs shall withstand electromagnetic disturbances and be fully
protected against short circuits or any other failure without loss of communication.
o For every motor starter 1 Rotary switch with two fixed positions: Local-Remote, 1 pole (in
one position it closes one contact and in the other it closes another) shall be installed in
order to make a control selection (locally or remote from DCS).
111
11.2.6.2 REMOTE CONTROL UNIT (RCU)
In order to control de motors locally, will be designed an RCU for every motor with the
following main characteristics:
o The control stations shall be designed for hazardous area. The type of protection
shall be a combination of "increased safety" and "flameproof" methods. Made of glass
fiber reinforced polyester (GRP).
o RCU and cable glands shall be certified and marked in accordance with the pertinent
standards.
o The marking shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and regulations.
An independent Mushroom Pushbutton for hazardous area will be located at the pump house
in order to interact with the ESD-iMCC and provoque a safety emergency stop to the motors
in case of necessity with the following main characteristics:
From the point of view of Instrumentation & Control, the Level Gauge and Inventory System,
(henceforth called Inventory Tank System) is the only automated system found in the plant.
The main purpose is to have a balance of product in each tank of the terminal, but there is
not a global mass balance, which should be a correlation of the input, output and storage of
the products.
112
In MEGHNA terminal, an ENRAF Inventory Tank System installed is based on radar
technology. The same system will be implemented in tanks that do not have the ENRAF
system for inventorying tanks.
Expand the Inventory Tank System over 100% of tanks farm and integrate all of them
into the existing loop communication ENRAF controllers (CIU prime and CIU plus).
Integrate the complete Inventory Tank System into the new main DCS (Distributed
Control System). ENRAF controllers, shall be integrated to the DCS, via Control Bus
Modbus TCP/IP communication standard.
One Tank Side Indicator (local digital indicator connected to Smart Radar Level and
installed at the foot of the tank to see the level in real time).
The Inventory Tank System is completely autonomous, so it can record levels, product
calculations and tank availability, among other functions.
113
Automatic mode: Local mode is not considered. Any data recording operation will be
automatic mode from the operations screen in the same Inventory System located in the
Control Room. In the same operating console, the operator will automatically take decisions
to align valves and initiate the tank filling sequence, prior notice of availability tank from
ENRAF system.
The tank storage operations commonly face the risk of contamination and loss of volume If
isolation valves leak. Currently some line blinds are installed in the plant piping system to
avoid leakage, but the use of line blinds for segregation involves a long, costly, and
hazardous process of drain down, lockout, and tagout. The Traditional gate valves in double
block-and-bleed configuration installed, may produce loss of fuel from the open bleed.
In order to avoid leakage and product loss, double block and bleed valves will be used, they
are highly recommended as they offer simple, provable and tank-side isolation, ensuring
valve integrity.
The use of this type valves will bring the following benefits:
- Zero leakage. Valves withstand frequent cycling and have drop tight seal shut off up
and down stream.
- No shear forces. The valve seals are separated from the body and are maintained at
this state during plug rotation. This eliminates abrasion forces from seals and extends
seal life.
- One double-block&bleed block. If any leakage occurs, it would be eliminated via the
bleed.
- In line maintenance: It is possible to inspect and replace the sealing slips with the
valve still in line.
Motorized valves shall be electrically actuated and will be communicated in a ring topology
with high availability and interconnected to the Main Control System via Master Station
114
Rotork Unit. MOV related to Emergency Shutdown shall be hardwired directly to ESD
System.
The motorized valve shall be also equipped, at least with the followings components:
A Rotork Master Station unit will control a certain set of MOVs (about sixty MOVs per Master
Station), with a redundant communication path to provide a high availability for the DCS
(Distributed Control System) in case of communication failure and spurious trips. Master
Station should communicate with all MOVs to:
Main DCS through the communication Control Bus via Modbus TCP/IP protocol
ESD (Emergency Shutdown) for emergency stop events related with safety
control sequences. The connection shall be conventional wiring to the ESD cards
terminals.
115
11.2.9.2 MOTORIZED VALVES PANELS
Will be defined Ex rated local panels for Motor Operated Valves (MOV), suitable for outdoor
installation in hazardous areas with the aim to feed motor valve actuators; thirty (30) circuit
breaker per panel as drawing 24020-GEN-E-DW-502-00 Typical MOV Panel Scheme
(included in Section 7).
The external enclosure of the switchboard will ensure a degree of protection against
the entry of solid bodies of no less than IP65.
The automated registration and control of the Mass Balance, provide the possibility to
contrast inputs and outputs of the products in the Terminal, so that it is mandatory to record
them to obtain the mass accurate balance in the plant, when inputs and output are added
with the inventory tanks. The Most important metering points are:
Metering point in the loading arms for dispatching to the trucks and drums
In Flow Metering for pipes with custody transfer between vendor and buyer, the balance of
product in the Terminal have to be done with high quality measurement, so that Fiscalization
system for flow measurement systems needs to have, a compensation algorithmic which
could be implemented in a local Flow computer. This kind of fiscal measurement would allow
to have an accurate Balance of the plant, with compensation mechanisms. So Flow
computer is needed, to calculate the flow compensated in Temperature and pressure, in a
monophasic state of the flow, which Is liquid in this case, due to the liquid hydrocarbon.
In this kind of installation Skid, the conditioning of the flow process in mandatory, having:
116
Flow Metering, with temperature compensation, and Pressurization and flow
computer, which aims to calculate de Total flow transferred.
Control Valves, which allows to control pressure of the flow which go through the
flow, and assure not to have bubble in the measurement procedure.
A compact metering for loading trucks include similar component than the Skid Metering, but
in a compact format of installation:
Flow computer
When some downloading bays are needed, the skid of metering for several loading arms
should be installed as a compact skid.
In the next table, we try to identify the specific application of the Flow Metering, into the
different relative locations in the terminal and principal of measurement for instruments
(ultrasonic, Coriolis, etc).

This chapter clarifies the basic principles and general technical requirements of the control
and supervision of the terminal's hydrocarbon tank farm. The specific details of the
automation and control system will be defined in general drawing, equipment specifications,
control system documents and diagrams to be developed by EPC contractor later in detail
engineering. The following criteria have been considered in the design of the terminal Control
System:
Dispatch Area (Delivery trucks, Delivery rail wagons and Delivery ships)
The integration of field instrumentation and packaged equipment has been considered in all
areas associated with the Terminal.
There will also be three levels of automation: Field level, Control Level and Supervision Level
Field Level:
The field level is constituted by the field instruments, motorized valves, bus gateways, input /
output signal cards. The interface between the Field Level (instrumentation) and Control
118
Level will be made in conventional cabling for analog signals and communication cabling
under protocol Modbus TCP/IP for communicated signals.
Control level:
The control level consists of control system controllers and package units sub-systems. The
control elements in this level are communicated each other with the operation and
supervision system through a redundant Ethernet Control Bus. Also, at this level, the
operating sequences, the safety interlocks and the terminal control logic are executed.
Supervision Level:
The supervision level is represented by the Operating Stations, Engineering, Printers and
remote terminals of the sub-system units.
Level dedicated only to users of the control system, instant and massive data management,
and communication with the Company's document management system.
Application Servers
Engineering Stations
Operating Stations
The integration of the following systems has been considered for the three (3) areas
considered.
- Flowmeter System of the jetty Ship unloading and flowmeter of refinery pipeline.
- Inventory Tank System, based on volume measurement technology ENRAF type and
accessory equipment.
Dispatch Area:
119
- Flowmeter System for Trucks delivery products
- Identification and Management System for Truck delivery through electronic cards.
Automatic Mode: Is produced based on the control sequence steps implemented in the
terminal control logic operation that will be described in the corresponding functional
documents. The Start/Stop permissive must be met regarding to maintain the safety
operation in all the terminal. In control room, the supervision and operation will be made
through screen operation stations, indicators and buttons in automatic mode.
Manual Remote Mode: The operator performs the Start/Stop operation from existing
pushbuttons on the Operator Stations Screens. Previously, the Start/Stop permissive
stablished in the control logic must be met.
Local Mode: The Start/Stop will be carried out by the operator in the field through the Local
Stations at the foot of each electrical equipment. Through the local/remote selector (field) it
will be possible to Start/Stop the equipment locally and from the control room it will be
possible to view the operating mode by means of a confirmation signal. There will be two (2)
different local modes: from local stations in the field and from control room in the operation
screen of Main Control System.
The installation's fire-fighting system will be dimensioned considering the highest possible
individual risk.
Thermal radiation received by vulnerable elements located in the vicinity of fires requires
knowledge of numerous variables, such as, the geometry of the fire. The heat generated by
combustion, the fraction that is emitted in the form of radiation, the possible formation of
fumes, radiation absorbed by the atmosphere, the position of the object, etc…
The criteria for affecting surfaces to be cooled according to the tanks or other fire risk in the
project, will be based on determining a distance that guarantees that the fire cannot spread
to neighboring containers. As criteria for affecting the project (in all scenarios) the equipment
or facilities that are affected by a thermal radiation flux of 12.50 kw/ m2 must be taken into
account.
120
In order to size the fire pump and the water reserve, the most risky scenario to consider in
this project is the fire in a tank, and the projection of water on 50% of the surface of the tank
wall adjacent areas that are affected by thermal radiation.
In the Jetty zone, the current system for protect this zones combine various hydrant-monitors
connected to a foam tank with a line mixer for provide foam, with this system the loading
zone are protected, but this system isn´t the most recommendable, with the current
configuration is very difficult to manage a manual monitor, because the radiation will be very
highly in the zone in case of fire, we propose a better system with a monitor tower with
remote control in a safe zone , as minimum it´s necessary to consider the installation of
water and foam monitors in each docking point. Water screens or curtains (Hidroshields)
must also be installed along the loading point of the jetty zone, to separate possible fire risk
in a ship from loading point. All the facilities of firefighting must be manually and remotely
operated from one point adequately separated from the risk point.
Only some tanks have installed Fire Fighting system, in this cases the fire protection system
of the tanks is directly connected to hydrant network with a tie-in and a gate valve, this is not
an automatic mode for protect the tanks, with this system in case of fire you need to go to the
valve and open in the system, normally this system does not work in case of fire because
any operator can´t support the radiation of the burned tank. Also is necessary to protect the
tank, with a water spray system and a foam system, in accordance with OISD-117 Fire
Protection Facilities for Petroleum Depots, Terminal, Pipeline Installation & Lube Oil
Installation standards.
Water flow calculated, for cooling a tank on fire at a rate of 3 lpm/m2 of tank shell
area.
Water flow calculated, for exposure protection for all other tanks falling within a radius
of (R +30) m from centre of the tank on fire (R-Radius of tank on fire) and situated in
the same dyke, at a rate of 3 lpm/m2 of tank shell area.
Water flow calculated, for exposure protection for all other tanks falling outside a
radius of (R+30) m from centre of the tank on fire and situated in the same dyke, at
a rate of 1 lpm/ m2 of tank shell area.
121
Spray nozzles shall be directed radially to the tank at a distance not exceeding 0.6 M
from the tank surface.
Foam solution applicable rate for cone roof tanks shall be taken as 5 lpm/m2
In the fixed roof tank, the foam discharge it´s done normally intersuperficially, the tanks must
have the followings foam chambers.

An additional foam chamber will be installed for tank more than 60 diameters meters for each
465 m2.
Fixed foam discharge outlets located above the mechanical shoe seal, above a tube seal
water shield, or above a secondary seal shall be used in conjunction with a foam dam.
The following methods shall be permitted for application of fixed foam discharge outlets:
- Fixed foam discharge outlets mounted above the top of the tank shell
- Fixed foam discharge outlets mounted on the periphery of the floating roof.
122
TABLE 19- SEAL TYPES FOR TANKS
Source: TR
Where the fixed foam discharge outlets are mounted above the top of the tank shell, a foam
splash-board is necessary due to the effects of winds.
The detection for floating-roof and fixed tanks will be doing with a fiber optic wire. This
system IS composed by a control unit and the wire, the system is highly recommended to
protect zones like a tank farm, early detection allows time for automatic or manual
extinguishing and draining volatile fuels.
This system is very sensible, can detect an increasing of temperature in a specific point, the
system easily adapts to retrofit or new installation in both internal and external floating tank.
For a floating roof tank the wire will be installed in the seal along the perimeter of tank, for a
fixed tank the wire will be installed in monitor gauge points, vent arear or manholes.

FIGURE 6- MONITORING TANKS

A confined pool fire, is a fire produced by the combustion of fuel spill within a boundary or
perimeter where confines the mass of hydrocarbon. Boundaries can be made up of walls that
enclose a certain area. Fire or liquid fuel fire requires a point of ignition, the oxidizer (oxygen
in the air) and the triggering of the reaction. For this type of fire (pool fire). This type of risk
exists in any tank or container or pool that stores hydrocarbons, as well as in areas that
handle hydrocarbons capable of suffering spills and catching fire, for this type of fire is very
highly recommended use flame detectors.
Flame detectors utilize optical technologies to detect flames. Flames are known to emit
electromagnetic radiation in the infrared (IR), visible light, and ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths
depending on the fuel source. Because of this, optical flame-sensing technologies have been
developed utilizing UV, UV/IR and multi-spectrum infrared. These products rely on line-of-site
detection of the radiation emitted in the spectral bands to determine if a flame is real.
124
Consider whether the potential flame you are looking to detect will be hydrocarbon based or
non-organic. With Hydrocarbon flames, a combination of methane and oxygen produce
carbon dioxide and water. This type of fire creates a UV signal reading at 0.2 microns and IR
signal reading at 2.7 microns and 4.5 microns. Hydrogen flames only produce water
molecules and therefore we do not see the same CO2 peak that a hydrocarbon flame is
known to produce.
Optical flame detectors come with a “field of view” range, similar to the lens on a camera.
Taking the field of view range into account will help determine how many detectors are
needed to cover an installation or a specific area within the installation.
Source: TR
The fixed extinguishing system based on water-foam for the protection of hydrocarbon
dispatch pumps must have the necessary elements to apply a design regime of not less than
20.4 lpm/m2, all according to OISD 117 Standard They will be protected with at least two
125
nozzles provided that the correct coverage of the equipment is ensured, preferably oriented
to cover suction and discharge flanges.
The detection system can be done electrically, using heat detectors (Fenwall detectors) or it
can be done with a pneumatic detection system using sprinklers.
Fenwall detectors are highly reliable and have good resistance to operation from non-hostile
sources. They are also very easy and inexpensive to maintain. On the down side, they do not
function until room temperatures have reached a substantial temperature, at which point the
fire is well underway and damage is growing exponentially. Subsequently, thermal detectors
are usually not permitted in life safety applications. They are also not recommended in
locations where there is a desire to identify a fire before substantial flames occur, such as
spaces where high value thermal sensitive contents are housed.
The locations in the building will be done using the figure below that shows the typical
coverage for fire detectors:
A spot type heat detector will cover all points located within 0.7 times the listed spacing. The
listed spacing for heat detectors is S= 50 ft (15.3 m)
The fixed extinguishing system based on water-foam for the protection of hydrocarbon
loading areas (loading trucks and wagon loading) must have the necessary elements to
apply a design regime of not less than 6.5 lpm / m2 (0.16 gpm / p2) for a period of 10 minutes,
all according to OISD 117 Standard
Also the system must be completed with additional discharge of the foam monitors installed
neared of the loading zones.
The detection system will be done with fenwall thermal detectors combined with flame
detectors.
11.2.12.5 HYDRANTS
Hydrants will be installed following the design codes of OISD 117 Standard. They must be
secured to the pipe and anchored, in accordance with the requirements of OISD 117
Standard
126
The hydrants must have a connection diameter with the main pipe not less than 6”. Each
hydrant must be equipped with an individual shutoff valve located on the bypass that
connects to the main network. Between every two hydrants an exterior hose cabinet with
hoses for hydrants will be installed.
11.2.12.6 MONITORS
Fixed water or water / foam monitors will be installed at strategic points, in areas with a
thermal impact of less than 5.1 Kw / m2, and around or within areas where a fire risk has
been identified. The fixed monitors will be autonomous or installed in hydrants.
In particular, monitors will be installed in hydrants located around process areas and storage
and transfer facilities for toxic, flammable or LPG products.
The monitors will be foam-water monitors around the hydrocarbon storage areas such as
diesel and gasoline.
With the pressure and flow data of the existing pumps in the installation, the capacity of the
pump is insufficient. Therefore it is necessary to install new pumps, the pumps have to meet
the water demand of the scenario with the highest risk, in this case the highest risk is a fire in
tank PT-5, and the affected tanks by the fire radiation, tanks PT-6, T-462, T-468, T-469, T-
470.
The pumps shall be capable of discharging 150% of its rated discharge at a minimum of 65%
of the rated head. The Shut-off head shall not exceed 120% of rated head.
The pumping group it will be composed by 3 diesel pumps supplied at 50%.
The water reserve tank doesn´t need to be calculated, the water supply comes from an
inexhaustible natural source.
The design of the fire pump installation must be in accordance with NFPA 20 codes and
OISD 117 Standards
The MPL facility has an oily water collection system, using underground networks that
discharge into an open pool, where the water and hydrocarbon are separated by gravity.
127
Improvement of the contaminated water treatment system is included in the scope of the
project.
Facilities and equipment will be designed so that water discharged to the outside of the
Storage Facility will have a hydrocarbon content that is below the limits allowed by the
regulations. In order to reach these limits, an analyzer and flow measurement system will be
available that will record in real time the hydrocarbon content and the discharge flow, not
allowing the exit if this content exceeds the pre-set limits, and therefore returning it to the
start of treatment. This system facilitates the control of the discharge in real time, as well as
allowing the elaboration of weekly, monthly and annual statistics with the stored records.
There is a plant for each terminal; each of them is according to document 24020-GEN-M-SP-

11.3.6 MODIFICATIONS IN PUMPING STATIONS
The existing starters MCC will be dismantled, and modern MCCs (intelligent) will be installed
in a new dedicated electrical room located near of the pump House, including ETP, UPS,
Lighting and MOV Panels. The proposal for automation is to define a new iMCC for the
Pump House. This iMCC will be able to interact with the new Distributed Control System
(DCS) and the new Emergency Shutdown (ESD).
The new iMCC shall be fed from the main existing Low Voltage Switchgear. For this plant, 1
iMCCs will be designed with the following main characteristics:
o A system comprising control modules, central unit(s), a serial bus connecting the
control modules to the central unit and a communication facility enabling connection of
the central unit to a distributed control system (DCS) through a Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC).
o The general bars shall be dimensioned, at least, for the incoming circuit breakers rated
current at the maximum temperature of the environmental conditions.
o The enclosure of the switchboard shall ensure a degree of protection against solid
foreign bodies and water of no less than IP41 according to the IEC 60529 Degrees of
protection provided by enclosures.
o The complete switchboard shall comply with Form 4b as indicated in IEC 60439 -1,
with separation panels between connection terminals for external power cables.
o The proposed Motor starter systems (starter installed inside de IMCC whenever
possible) shall be as follows:
Soft Starter (SS) in substitution of Y-Δ starter, providing a controlled ramp-up to full
speed by gradually increasing voltage to the motor terminals during startup. SS for
motors ≥ 37 kW (50 HP).
142
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) if required by the process, only for new motors
with duty type service S9 Acc. to IEC 60034-1.
o Starter Control Unit (SCU) modules shall be suitable for mounting in the motor
starter/feeder compartments or in an adjacent (common) compartment.
o The interface between the installed starter/feeder unit and the communication bus
within the Assembly shall be an integral part of the starter/feeder. The starter/feeder
compartment shall remain withdrawable and the connection to the communication bus
shall be a single connection using self-centering plugs and sockets.
o The iMCS software shall allow access for engineering purposes to any SCU, on or off
line. Facilities to change set points, prepare or examine motor trend analysis, etc., shall
be provided. Access to vital motor settings and DCS (Distributed Control System)
configuration shall be password protected.
o The communication interface bus between the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), Ethernet
Switches and the SCUs shall withstand electromagnetic disturbances and be fully
protected against short circuits or any other failure without loss of communication.
o For every motor starter 1 Rotary switch with two fixed positions: Local-Remote, 1 pole
(in one position it closes one contact and in the other it closes another) shall be
installed in order to make a control selection (locally or remote from DCS).
In order to control de motors locally, will be designed an RCU for every motor with the
following main characteristics:
o The control stations shall be designed for hazardous area. The type of protection
shall be a combination of "increased safety" and "flameproof" methods. Made of glass
fiber reinforced polyester (GRP).
o RCU and cable glands shall be certified and marked in accordance with the pertinent
standards.
143
o The marking shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and regulations.
An independent Mushroom Pushbutton for hazardous area will be located at the pump house
in order to interact with the ESD-iMCC and provoque a safety emergency stop to the motors
in case of necessity with the following main characteristics:
From the point of view of Instrumentation & Control, the Level Gauge and Inventory System,
(henceforth called Inventory Tank System) is the only automated system found in the plant.
The main purpose is to have a balance of product in each tank of the terminal, but there is
not a global mass balance, which should be a correlation of the input, output and storage of
the products.
Expand the Inventory Tank System over 100% of tanks farm and integrate all of them
into the existing loop communication ENRAF controllers (CIU prime and CIU plus).
Integrate the complete Inventory Tank System into the new main DCS (Distributed
Control System). ENRAF controllers, shall be integrated to the DCS, via Control Bus
Modbus TCP/IP communication standard.
144
Implementation of an automatic overfilling prevention system (AOPS). The AOPS will
be designed to terminate flow to the protected tank in the event of loss of power. The
equipment will include an uninterruptible power supply, sensors, a safety logic solver
and final control elements.
One Tank Side Indicator (local digital indicator connected to Smart Radar Level and
installed at the foot of the tank to see the level in real time).
The Inventory Tank System is completely autonomous, so it can record levels, product
calculations and tank availability, among other functions.
Automatic mode: Local mode is not considered. Any data recording operation will be
automatic mode from the operations screen in the same Inventory System located in the
Control Room. In the same operating console, the operator will automatically take decisions
to align valves and initiate the tank filling sequence, prior notice of availability tank from
ENRAF system.
The tank storage operations commonly face the risk of contamination and loss of volume If
isolation valves leak. Currently some line blinds are installed in the plant piping system to
avoid leakage, but the use of line blinds for segregation involves a long, costly, and
145
hazardous process of drain down, lockout, and tagout. The Traditional gate valves in double
block-and-bleed configuration installed, may produce loss of fuel from the open bleed.
In order to avoid leakage and product loss, double block and bleed valves will be used, they
are highly recommended as they offer simple, provable and tank-side isolation, ensuring
valve integrity.
The use of this type valves will bring the following benefits:
- Zero leakage. Valves withstand frequent cycling, and have drop tight seal shut off up
and down stream.
- No shear forces. The valve seals are separated from the body, and are maintained at
this state during plug rotation. This eliminates abrasion forces from seals and extends
seal life.
- One double-block&bleed block. If any leakage occur, it would be eliminated via the
bleed.
- In line maintenance: It is possible to inspect and replace the sealing slips with the
valve still in line.
Motorized valves shall be electrically actuated and will be communicated in a ring topology
with high availability, and interconnected to the Main Control System via Master Station
Rotork Unit. MOV related to Emergency Shutdown shall be hardwired directly to ESD
System.
The motorized valve shall be also equipped, at least with the followings components:
146
Hand Operation: (Direct drive handwheel to provide reliable emergency manual
operation in the event of a power supply failure. Includes padlockable hand/auto clutch
for safe operation even when the motor is running.
A Rotork Master Station unit will control a certain set of MOVs (about sixty MOVs per Master
Station), with a redundant communication path to provide a high availability for the DCS
(Distributed Control System) in case of communication failure and spurious trips. Master
Station should communicate with all MOVs to:
Main DCS through the communication Control Bus via Modbus TCP/IP protocol
ESD (Emergency Shutdown) for emergency stop events related with safety control
sequences. The connection shall be conventional wiring to the ESD cards terminals.
Will be defined Ex rated local panels for Motor Operated Valves (MOV), suitable for outdoor
installation in hazardous areas with the aim to feed motor valve actuators; thirty (30) circuit
breaker per panel as per drawing 24020-GEN-E-DW-502-00 Typical MOV Panel Scheme
(included in section 7).
o The external enclosure of the switchboard will ensure a degree of protection against
the entry of solid bodies of no less than IP65.
147
11.3.9.3 FLOW METERING SYSTEMS
The automated registration and control of the Mass Balance, provide the possibility to
contrast inputs and outputs of the products in the Terminal, so that it is mandatory to record
them to obtain the mass accurate balance in the plant, when inputs and output are added
with the inventory tanks. The Most important metering points are:
Metering point in the loading arms for dispatching to the trucks and drums
In Flow Metering for pipes with custody transfer between vendor and buyer, the balance of
product in the Terminal have to be done with high quality measurement, so that Fiscalization
system for flow measurement systems needs to have, a compensation algorithmic which
could be implemented in a local Flow computer. This kind of fiscal measurement would allow
to have an accurate Balance of the plant, with compensation mechanisms. So Flow
computer is needed, to calculate the flow compensated in Temperature and pressure, in a
monophasic state of the flow, which Is liquid in this case, due to the liquid hydrocarbon.
In this kind of installation Skid, the conditioning of the flow process in mandatory, having:
Control Valves, which allows to control pressure of the flow which go through the
flow, and assure not to have bubble in the measurement procedure.
A compact metering for loading trucks include similar component than the Skid Metering, but
in a compact format of installation:
Flow computer
148
Outlet Control Valve.
When some downloading bays are needed, the skid of metering for several loading arms
should be installed as a compact skid.
In the next table, we try to identify the specific application of the Flow Metering, into the
different relative locations in the terminal and principal of measurement for instruments
(ultrasonic, Coriolis, etc).

This chapter clarifies the basic principles and general technical requirements of the control
and supervision of the terminal's hydrocarbon tank farm. The specific details of the
automation and control system will be defined in general drawing, equipment specifications,
control system documents and diagrams to be developed by EPC contractor later in detail
149
engineering. The following criteria have been considered in the design of the terminal Control
System:
Dispatch Area (Delivery trucks, Delivery rail wagons and Delivery ships)
The integration of field instrumentation and packaged equipment has been considered in all
areas associated with the Terminal.
There will also be three levels of automation: Field level, Control Level and Supervision Level
Field Level:
The field level is constituted by the field instruments, motorized valves, bus gateways, input /
output signal cards. The interface between the Field Level (instrumentation) and Control
Level will be made in conventional cabling for analog signals and communication cabling
under protocol Modbus TCP/IP for communicated signals.
Control level:
The control level consists of control system controllers and package units sub-systems. The
control elements in this level are communicated each other with the operation and
supervision system through a redundant Ethernet Control Bus. Also, at this level, the
operating sequences, the safety interlocks and the terminal control logic are executed.
Supervision Level:
The supervision level is represented by the Operating Stations, Engineering, Printers and
remote terminals of the sub-system units.
Level dedicated only to users of the control system, instant and massive data management,
and communication with the Company's document management system.
Application Servers
150
Engineering Stations
Operating Stations
The integration of the following systems has been considered for the three (3) areas
considered.
- Flowmeter System of the jetty Ship unloading and flowmeter of refinery pipeline.
- Inventory Tank System, based on volume measurement technology ENRAF type and
accessory equipment.
Dispatch Area:
- Identification and Management System for Truck delivery through electronic cards.
Automatic Mode:
Is produced based on the control sequence steps implemented in the terminal control logic
operation that will be described in the corresponding functional documents. The Start/Stop
permissive must be met regarding to maintain the safety operation in all the terminal. In
control room, the supervision and operation will be made through screen operation stations,
indicators and buttons in automatic mode.
151
The operator performs the Start/Stop operation from existing pushbuttons on the Operator
Stations Screens. Previously, the Start/Stop permissive stablished in the control logic must
be met.
Local Mode:
The Start/Stop will be carried out by the operator in the field through the Local Stations at the
foot of each electrical equipment. Through the local/remote selector (field) it will be possible
to Start/Stop the equipment locally and from the control room it will be possible to view the
operating mode by means of a confirmation signal. There will be two (2) different local
modes: from local stations in the field and from control room in the operation screen of Main
Control System.
The installation's fire-fighting system will be dimensioned considering the highest possible
individual risk.
Thermal radiation received by vulnerable elements located in the vicinity of fires requires
knowledge of numerous variables, such as, the geometry of the fire. The heat generated by
combustion, the fraction that is emitted in the form of radiation, the possible formation of
fumes, radiation absorbed by the atmosphere, the position of the object, etc…
The criteria for affecting surfaces to be cooled according to the tanks or other fire risk in the
project, will be based on determining a distance that guarantees that the fire cannot spread
to neighboring containers. As criteria for affecting the project (in all scenarios) the equipment
or facilities that are affected by a thermal radiation flux of 12.50 kw/ m2 must be taken into
account.
In order to size the fire pump and the water reserve, the riskiest scenario to consider in this
project is the fire in a tank, and the projection of water on 50% of the surface of the tank wall
adjacent areas that are affected by thermal radiation.
In the Jetty zone, the current system for protect this zones combine various hydrant-monitors
connected to a foam tank with a line mixer for provide foam, with this system the loading
zone are protected, but this system isn´t the most recommendable, with the current
configuration is very difficult to manage a manual monitor, because the radiation will be very
highly in the zone in case of fire, we propose a better system with a monitor tower with
152
remote control in a safe zone , as minimum it´s necessary to consider the installation of
water and foam monitors in each docking point. Water screens or curtains (Hidroshields)
must also be installed along the loading point of the jetty zone, to separate possible fire risk
in a ship from loading point. All the facilities of firefighting must be manually and remotely
operated from one point adequately separated from the risk point.
Only some tanks have installed Fire Fighting system, in this cases the fire protection system
of the tanks is directly connected to hydrant network with a tie-in and a gate valve, this is not
an automatic mode for protect the tanks, with this system in case of fire you need to go to the
valve and open in the system, normally this system does not work in case of fire because
any operator can´t support the radiation of the burned tank.
Also is necessary to protect the tank, with a water spray system and a foam system, in
accordance with OISD-117 Fire Protection Facilities for Petroleum Depots, Terminal, Pipeline
Installation & Lube Oil Installation standards.
Water flow calculated, for cooling a tank on fire at a rate of 3 lpm/m2 of tank shell area.
Water flow calculated, for exposure protection for all other tanks falling within a radius
of (R +30) m from centre of the tank on fire (R-Radius of tank on fire) and situated in
the same dyke, at a rate of 3 lpm/m2 of tank shell area.
Water flow calculated, for exposure protection for all other tanks falling outside a radius
of (R+30) m from centre of the tank on fire and situated in the same dyke, at a rate of 1
lpm/ m2 of tank shell area.
Spray nozzles shall be directed radially to the tank at a distance not exceeding 0.6 M
from the tank surface.
Foam solution applicable rate for cone roof tanks shall be taken as 5 lpm/m2
In the fixed roof tank, the foam discharge it´s done normally intersuperficially, the tanks must
have the followings foam chambers.

An additional foam chamber will be installed for tank more than 60 diameters meters for each
465 m2.
Fixed foam discharge outlets located above the mechanical shoe seal, above a tube seal
water shield, or above a secondary seal shall be used in conjunction with a foam dam.
The following methods shall be permitted for application of fixed foam discharge outlets:
Fixed foam discharge outlets mounted above the top of the tank shell
- Fixed foam discharge outlets mounted on the periphery of the floating roof.

Where the fixed foam discharge outlets are mounted above the top of the tank shell, a foam
splash-board is necessary due to the effects of winds.
The detection for floating-roof and fixed tanks will be doing with a fiber optic wire. This
system is composed by a control unit and the wire, the system is highly recommended to
protect zones like a tank farm, early detection allows time for automatic or manual
extinguishing and draining volatile fuels.
This system is very sensible, can detect an increasing of temperature in a specific point, the
system easily adapts to retrofit or new installation in both internal and external floating tank.
For a floating roof tank the wire will be installed in the seal along the perimeter of tank, for a
fixed tank the wire will be installed in monitor gauge points, vent arear or manholes.

A confined pool fire, is a fire produced by the combustion of fuel spill within a boundary or
perimeter where confines the mass of hydrocarbon. Boundaries can be made up of walls that
enclose a certain area. Fire or liquid fuel fire requires a point of ignition, the oxidizer (oxygen
in the air) and the triggering of the reaction. For this type of fire (pool fire). This type of risk
exists in any tank or container or pool that stores hydrocarbons, as well as in areas that
handle hydrocarbons capable of suffering spills and catching fire, for this type of fire is very
highly recommended use flame detectors.
Flame detectors utilize optical technologies to detect flames. Flames are known to emit
electromagnetic radiation in the infrared (IR), visible light, and ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths
depending on the fuel source. Because of this, optical flame-sensing technologies have been
developed utilizing UV, UV/IR and multi-spectrum infrared. These products rely on line-of-site
detection of the radiation emitted in the spectral bands to determine if a flame is real.
Consider whether the potential flame you are looking to detect will be hydrocarbon based or
non-organic. With Hydrocarbon flames, a combination of methane and oxygen produce
carbon dioxide and water. This type of fire creates a UV signal reading at 0.2 microns and IR
signal reading at 2.7 microns and 4.5 microns. Hydrogen flames only produce water
156
molecules and therefore we do not see the same CO2 peak that a hydrocarbon flame is
known to produce.
Optical flame detectors come with a “field of view” range, similar to the lens on a camera.
Taking the field of view range into account will help determine how many detectors are
needed to cover an installation or a specific area within the installation.

The fixed extinguishing system based on water-foam for the protection of hydrocarbon
dispatch pumps must have the necessary elements to apply a design regime of not less than
20.4 lpm/m2, all according to the OISD 117 Standard They will be protected with at least two
nozzles provided that the correct coverage of the equipment is ensured, preferably oriented
to cover suction and discharge flanges.
157
The detection system can be done electrically, using heat detectors (Fenwall detectors) or it
can be done with a pneumatic detection system using sprinklers.
Fenwall detectors are highly reliable and have good resistance to operation from non-hostile
sources. They are also very easy and inexpensive to maintain. On the down side, they do not
function until room temperatures have reached a substantial temperature, at which point the
fire is well underway and damage is growing exponentially. Subsequently, thermal detectors
are usually not permitted in life safety applications. They are also not recommended in
locations where there is a desire to identify a fire before substantial flames occur, such as
spaces where high value thermal sensitive contents are housed.
A spot type heat detector will cover all points located within 0.7 times the listed spacing. The
listed spacing for heat detectors is S= 50 ft (15.3 m)
The fixed extinguishing system based on water-foam for the protection of hydrocarbon
loading areas (loading trucks and wagon loading) must have the necessary elements to
apply a design regime of not less than 6.5 lpm / m2 (0.16 gpm / p2) for a period of 10 minutes,
all according to the OISD 117 Standard standard.
Also the system must be completed with additional discharge of the foam monitors installed
neared of the loading zones.
The detection system will be done with fenwall thermal detectors combined with flame
detectors.
11.3.11.5 HYDRANTS
Hydrants will be installed following the design codes of OISD 117 Standard. They must be
secured to the pipe and anchored, in accordance with the requirements of OISD 117
Standard.
The hydrants must have a connection diameter with the main pipe not less than 6”. Each
hydrant must be equipped with an individual shutoff valve located on the bypass that
connects to the main network. Between every two hydrants an exterior hose cabinet with
hoses for hydrants will be installed.
158
11.3.11.6 MONITORS
Fixed water or water / foam monitors will be installed at strategic points, in areas with a
thermal impact of less than 5.1 Kw / m2, and around or within areas where a fire risk has
been identified. The fixed monitors will be autonomous or installed in hydrants.
In particular, monitors will be installed in hydrants located around process areas and storage
and transfer facilities for toxic, flammable or LPG products.
The monitors will be foam-water monitors around the hydrocarbon storage areas such as
diesel and gasoline.
With the pressure and flow data of the existing pumps in the installation, the capacity of the
pump is insufficient. Therefore it is necessary to install new pumps, the pumps have to meet
the water demand of the two scenarios with the highest risk
The pumps shall be capable of discharging 150% of its rated discharge at a minimum of 65%
of the rated head. The Shut-off head shall not exceed 120% of rated head.
The water reserve tank doesn´t need to be calculated, the water supply comes from an
inexhaustible natural source.
The design of the fire pump installation must be in accordance with NFPA 20 codes and
OISD-117 Standards.
The JOCL facility has an oily water collection system, using underground networks that
discharge into an open pool, where the water and hydrocarbon are separated by gravity.
Improvement of the contaminated water treatment system is included in the scope of the
project.
Facilities and equipment will be designed so that water discharged to the outside of the
Storage Facility will have a hydrocarbon content that is below the limits allowed by the
regulations. In order to reach these limits, an analyzer and flow measurement system will be
available that will record in real time the hydrocarbon content and the discharge flow, not
159
allowing the exit if this content exceeds the pre-set limits, and therefore returning it to the
start of treatment. This system facilitates the control of the discharge in real time, as well as
allowing the elaboration of weekly, monthly and annual statistics with the stored records.
In order to locate the new Effluent Treatment Plant at Jamuna Terminal it is necessary the
following works:
- Installation of two (2) new submersible pumps inside the existing manhole at the end
of the actual drainage net. These two pumps will send the effluents to the new

UP
16.1 GENERAL
16.2 DEFINITIONS
16.2.1 SYSTEM
Major subdivision of an installation, being either process or utility, which performs a major
operational function of the each terminal. The system includes all the various equipment that
allows it to operate.
198
16.2.2 SUBSYSTEM
Subdivision of a system that performs a partial operational function to the system, with no or
little interference from the other subsystems. Several equipment with the same function in
the system, main packages are typical examples of subsystems.
Functional Tests shall be carried out on all Equipment comprising the Terminals as required
by CONTRACTOR and shall include verification of all technical requirements set out in the
Technical Specifications.
Functional tests include live tests performed on each instrument, telecommunication, and
electrical elementary function (loop testing for example).
The phases of completion for each Terminal involve the steps defined under Section above.
The purpose of these activities is to confirm that every piece of equipment in each Terminal
operates per the design. The goal of these verifications is to introduce feed to the Start Date
System and the Plant in a safe and trouble free manner, and to establish routine production
status in the shortest possible time.
The work associated with Mechanical Completion, Pre-Commissioning and Commissioning
can be divided into three phases as follows.
- Phase 1: Preparatory work.
- Phase 2: Mechanical Completion/ Pre-commissioning.
- Phase 3: Commissioning and Production Start-up.
Whilst the phases may overlap across the facilities as a whole, they will be sequential for
each system or sub-system.
Subsystems shall be Ready for Commissioning (RFC) when all Pre-commissioning activities
are completed.
199
Subsystems shall be Ready for Start –up (RFSU) when all Commissioning activities are
completed.
Systems or group of Subsystems shall be Ready for Operation (RFO) when all Start –up.

system.
- Priority “B”: Item considered as a block point for Start-up activity of the sub-system.
- Priority “C”: Item not considered as a block point for Start-Up activity but linked to any
contractual milestone (for example Partial Acceptance, Hand-Over).
The CONTRACTOR shall prepare and maintain these Punch lists and shall issue the Punch
lists to OWNER on a regular basis.
CONTRACTOR shall ensure, where applicable, that punch lists items identify a tag number.
These lists shall be updated during the Completion activities, so as to have a precise status

the Engineering, remedial action, etc.).
CONTRACTOR shall ensure all punch list items cleared are signed off and offered to
OWNER for countersignature.
Items may only be removed from the list by OWNER.
207
OWNER will review such request and if it concurs with CONTRACTOR, correction of the
deficiency will be allowed to occur - post Mechanical Completion. Prior to System
Mechanical Completion, any System Commissioning/Start-up activities must be subordinated
to the Work of construction.
During the Mechanical Completion phase the CONTRACTOR shall ensure the following:
- CONTRACTOR will ensure that P&ID check have been completed i.e. that all lines have
been “walked” and confirmed to be in accordance with the latest P&IDs.
- CONTRACTOR will ensure that all outstanding Punch List items for vendor packages
required for Commissioning, including any engineering, regulatory and certification
issues are resolved. If vendor attendance is required at site, Contractor shall make
arrangements to ensure vendor attendance in time.
- CONTRACTOR will ensure that the execution of discipline construction works aligns with
the sequence and timing of Mechanical Completion by system such that the
Commissioning of each system can commence on schedule. Contractor shall provide
reports of progress, by sub-system, based on numbers of records completed against
plan. Mechanical Completion and Commissioning checks should be closely coordinated
to avoid duplication of work. In general, checks should only be repeated if there is good
reason to do so, e.g. if they are invalidated by time or damage.
CONTRACTOR’s Mechanical Completion activities shall include, but are not limited to, the
following:
- All work including but not limited to foundations (where applicable), structures,
equipment, piping, instruments and electrical installations have been completed and all
other materials have been installed as per the design.

compliance with all relevant drawings, codes, standards, specifications, data sheets and
regulations and any other applicable documents. CONTRACTOR shall ensure that all
pipe strength has been completed including any chemical cleaning where applicable and
the required level of cleanliness and dryness has been achieved.
- CONTRACTOR will demonstrate the Mechanical Completion of a system or sub-system
by the provision of a Mechanical Completion dossier. The dossier will include, as a
minimum, a status index and all registers and will demonstrate to OWNER and the
Regulatory Authorities (if appropriate) that the Work has been performed in accordance
with design, standards and procedures.
CONTRACTOR shall also develop a lock out/tag out procedure prior to energizing or start up
of any system. This procedure shall also be submitted to OWNER for approval a minimum of
one (1) month prior to proposed energizing or system start up.
208
systems are installed and that all Equipment and instrumentation requiring adjustments and
tests for which CONTRACTOR is responsible, are completed including any review
assistance, or approval required by Vendor representatives has been obtained.
Mechanical Completion of a system will be achieved:
- When all inspections and tests and all other Mechanical Completion activities have been
satisfactorily completed and recorded by the CONTRACTOR on appropriate registers, as
prescribed in the status index for all the disciplines that are applicable to that system;
- When no punch list ‘A’ items are outstanding in respect of Mechanical Completion.
- When the number of ‘B’ punch list items is acceptably small.
- When the Mechanical Completion dossier has been compiled and completed.
- When all registers are complete.
- When all drawings are marked up showing system limits and changes.
- When an agreed punch list is compiled.
- When As Built “mark ups” of drawings showing deviations from design and highlighting
changes to previous revision of the drawing have been agreed.

installation and Mechanical Completion are included within the Mechanical Completion
dossier.
- When all relevant miscellaneous data and correspondence are included in the
Mechanical Completion dossier.
- When all preservation logs are completed to time of Mechanical Completion and are
included in the Mechanical Completion dossier.
A system will not be accepted as mechanically complete if there are any outstanding
regulatory requirements to be satisfied before commissioning of the system can commence.
For electrical systems, all tests relay setting, and checkouts must be completed prior to
energization. However, some activities require that equipment is hot, energized, or actually
running, so it shall be necessary to accomplish additional CONTRACTOR activities after
Mechanical Completion, during the commissioning or start-up phase. CONTRACTOR shall
compile a list of the activities which require to be performed after Mechanical Completion and
submit this to OWNER for approval.
When the Mechanical Completion of a system has been satisfactorily completed, Contractor
shall submit the Mechanical Completion dossier, together with a Mechanical Completion
certificate for verification.
A system mechanical check-out is to be conducted prior to each Notice of System
Mechanical Completion by CONTRACTOR and will be verified by OWNER, after receipt of
the Notice of System Mechanical Completion. This verification shall include a review of test
reports conducted by the CONTRACTOR and SUBCONTRACTORS, such as pressure tests,
electrical measurements, loop checks, and rotational direction checks to assure that all items
209
have been completed. Detailed inspection tours shall be made to determine that features
affected by flow direction (such as flow-meters) are properly oriented; facilities for by-
passing, blocking and blinding are properly located; temporary blinds and other provisions
required only for testing have been removed; and any other mechanical condition which may
delay or complicate the start-up has been properly accommodated. CONTRACTOR must
ensure that the Vendor representatives approve the Mechanical Checkout.
When OWNER is satisfied that CONTRACTOR has accomplish Mechanical Completion, it
shall sign the Notice of System Mechanical Completion confirming that the relevant System
has successfully achieved Mechanical Completion, subject to any Punch list items.
Mechanical Completion of the Terminals shall be achieved after every System has achieved
Mechanical Completion.
CONTRACTOR shall conduct a final P&ID review prior to issuing the Notice of System
Mechanical Completion. This review is a line-by-line, feature-by-feature check of the
installation against the flow sheets. Thoroughness on the part of the CONTRACTOR is
essential to minimize Commissioning and Start-up difficulties and delays. CONTRACTOR
shall produce an “as-built” issue of the P&IDs and issue these drawings with the Notice of
System Mechanical Completion.
Upon receipt by CONTRACTOR of the Notice of Final Mechanical Completion, duly signed
by OWNER, the CONTRACTOR may commence Commissioning operations.
This notification is intended to formally notify OWNER that it can proceed with final System
P&ID checks, punch listing and review of signed off documentation.
The Notice of Terminal Mechanical Completion means the Notice issued by OWNER to
CONTRACTOR when OWNER has signed and issued to CONTRACTOR a copy of the
Notice of System Mechanical Completion for each and every System.
Terminals commissioning shall not begin until OWNER has signed and issued to
CONTRACTOR copies of all Notices of System Mechanical Completion required for each
Terminal, confirming OWNER’s understanding that all Systems are Mechanically Complete.

19.7.3 FEATURES OF THE EXECUTION OF MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY
The adoption of plates for the foundation of packaged equipment, the placement of concrete-
embedded steel plates, the decision to place lifting bolts at the second stage and the
execution of precast foundations for minor bases are aimed at creating the best possible
conditions of accessibility and circulation of transportation and lifting equipment, in order to
maximize safety in maneuvers and simplify assembly tasks.
Prior to Mechanical Assembly, plane surveying and altitude measurement assessments shall
be conducted with regard to all the civil works, in order to ensure that they correspond to
Engineering documents.
The Construction and Assembly strategy is based on design, prefabrication and fabrication of
packaged equipment, piping, pipe-racks, platforms etc., in vendors’ or manufacturers’
workshops and their later delivery to the worksite for assembly.
Construction and Layout, in the same workshop, shall be such as to enable field assembly
and connection, with no need of welding works for the purpose of pipeline adjustment, which
entail new hydraulic tests.
It will be necessary to develop the relevant Technical Specification for the “Design and
Construction of Packaged Units”, which shall include, inter alia, the following topics: Purpose,
Applicable Rules and Specifications, General Requirements, Design and Fabrication of Skid
Structure, Design and Fabrication of Piping, Electricity and Instruments, and Preparation for
Transportation.
The foregoing action shall be supplemented by the workshop prefabrication and color assort
of piping “SPOOLS”, which may be sent to the site, with adjusted or completed sections for
their assembly in situ; as the case may be. For such purpose, it will be necessary to develop
work instructions, which contemplate the following stages: Handling of Engineering
Documents, Prefabricated Item Fabrication, Follow-Up and Record Specifications,
Identification and Preparation System for Transportation and Delivery to Worksite.
Workshop construction and delivery to site of, inter alia, ladders, special supports, lighting
towers and columns; standard supports for electricity, instruments, piping, etc., shall
contribute to the improvement of working conditions in field, and thus safety; to the reduction
of costs and terms and to the minimization of environmental impact as a result of the
generation of less waste material.
Where possible, in order to ensure the quality of the final work and the correspondence of
the different parts, equipment and pipe-rack should be fabricated in the same workshop or by
the same vendor. Otherwise, everything shall be concentrated in the same workshop, in
order to submit it and cure such defects as may have become apparent in the assembly,
prior to delivery to the worksite.
235
Structures, metering skids and packaged equipment shall be completely fabricated in
workshop. The structure of pipes and supports shall be painted. Electricity and instrument
wiring shall be made, and conductors shall be positioned and connected. Pre-commissioning
and Commissioning shall be conducted.
The relevant torque shall be applied to flanged joints; then, every nut and stud shall be
marked with paint, so that it may be verified in field that no change has occurred during the
transportation.
All support nuts, piping clamps, U bolts, etc., shall be fixed with lock washers with laps, or
else with bonds for screws.
In order to facilitate transportation, different components, such as actuated valves, safety
valves, pipe spools, operation platforms, ladders, etc., which exceed the maximum height
allowed in highway shall be dismantled in workshop and separately dispatched to the site.
Experience shows that, in order to prevent deterioration during transportation, metering skid
shall be secured with provisional supports, which shall be identified with paint of a certain
color, so as to facilitate their identification and removal from site.
As it arrives at the Worksite, the skid shall be mounted on its base and assembly shall be
completed.
Steel structure and supports shall be prefabricated and painted with the complete color
assort in workshop and then sent to the worksite for its assembly.
The Construction and Assembly strategy should be borne in mind, since the excellence of
the outcome shall depend mainly on the results of the following stages: Quality and
Dimensional Control, Prefabricated Items, Transportation Logistics, and Plane Surveying and
Altitude Measurement of the Civil Work.
The civil work shall be executed so as to facilitate the transportation, lifting, unloading and
positioning on the bases of equipment.
It may be stated that this methodology implies that assembly operations will be safer and
simpler, as turning radiuses and the length of feathers shall be smaller.
In order for the means of transport to access the foundations, it shall be necessary to build
ramps on selected and suitably compressed soil, for the purpose of improving the access
and rolling conditions of the means of transport. The means of transport shall access the
foundation in reverse position.
The orientation of the loads on the floor of the transportation unit shall be in observance with
the methodology defined in the assembly procedure and the foregoing paragraph, in order to
prevent maneuvers for the adjustment of the load on the means of transport in situ.
The crane shall be placed by the sides of the foundation, in reverse position with respect to
the pipe-rack and its longitudinal axis shall form a 90º angle with the transverse axis of the
foundation, on which the load shall be placed.
236
Cranes, operators, and ancillary lifting items, such as slings, shackles, belts, separators,
hangers, etc., shall be certified by an entity acknowledged by OWNER.
All Assembly operations shall be supported by specific procedures, which shall be previously
approved by the Inspection of OWNER.
237
