    The document discusses different types and requirements for preserving equipment and piping that will be idle for various time periods. It describes temporary, short-term, and long-term preservation methods. Some key considerations include climate, economics of preservation vs recommissioning, and using various rust preventatives like oils, greases, coatings, desiccants, and vapor phase corrosion inhibitors depending on the equipment and expected idleness time frame.

    Understanding PTS 70107011

    The preservation of old & new equipment &


    piping standing idle
    3 Principal Requirements
    • Temporary preservation
    – For plant operating on a cyclic programme, i.e. where the
    period of idleness between operating periods may be about 2
    months (1 year for civil engineering items)
    • Short-term preservation
    – For plant which is to be shut down for 2 months or more, and
    recommissioned within 1 year (2 years for civil engineering
    items)
    • Long-term preservation
    – For plant which is to be shut down for recommissioning 1 year
    or more later (2 years or more for civil engineering items)
    Economics – to consider
    • Preservation
    • On-going services, inspection and safety
    checks
    • Recommissioning
    • Extension of idleness
    Things to consider
    • Climate & cyclic operations
    • Rain, Moisture, High humidity
    • Temperatures below zero
    • Sand & Dust
    • Idle rotating equipment
    • Underground drainage piping  PTS
    34142031
    Rust Preventatives
    Shell Ensis Oil • Forms non-drying oily film
    (grade N) • Protect parts not subjected to much handling
    • Suitable for internal protection
    • Up to 12 months protection for equipment unsheltered outdoor conditions at temp
    <80degC

    Petronas • 4 viscosity grades (10W, 20, 30, 40)


    MOTOLUB CS3 • Protect non-turbocharged internal combustion engines during storage
    Oils • Replace the normal service lubricant for short period before shutdown

    Petronas • 5 viscosity grades (32, 46, 68, 78, 100)


    Jenteram HC Oils • For long-term preservation of steam turbines

    Shell Ensis Fluids • Contain volatile solvents  solvents evaporate to leave protective film (maybe oily,
    grease-like, or hard; depend on grade)
    • Displace water
    • Hard films are resistant to handling, but less easy to remove
    • Grade S, T, V
    • Protect equipment stored indoors up to 18 months, or under shelter outdoors
    up to 12 months
    • Temp < 40degC
    • Grade T, V  hard thick film, specially designed for outdoor
    • Grade C  Very strong dewatering properties, suitable for pretreating before
    applying other grades
    Rust Preventatives
    Shell Ensis • Grease-like
    Compound • Durable protection, can withstand considerable handling
    CA • Up to 12 months outdoor
    Vapor phase • Internal protection of turbines, compressors, hydraulic systems, bearings, engines, HEXs,
    corrosion pipes, vessels, etc
    inhibitors • 2 types: 1) VPI, 2) VSI
    • VPI (Vapor Phase Inhibitors)
    • Crystalline powders, slowly vaporize into enclosed space
    • Avoid direct contact of VPI powder to non-ferrous metals & painted surfaces
    • Do not use with desiccant
    • Various grades: VPI 260, 280, 260F, 280F, 300, 350 (cont. next page)
    • VSI (Vapor Space Inhibitors) concentrate
    • Oily concentrate
    • Added to lubricating / seal oil systems when equipment is half-filled
    • Typical grade  8325
    • Vapor absorbed as invisible film on protected surfaces
    • Effective protection at oil temp range of 15-70degC, up to 12 months
    • Max efficiency, at temp 30degC, oil-to-surface distance < 2m
    • Lower temp  less distance
    • Higher temp > 30degC  increase distance
    • Not necessary to be removed prior startup
    Rust Preventatives
    Vapor phase VPI 260 • General purpose
    corrosion • Long period protection
    inhibitors • Exterior & interior pipe surfaces, HEXs and packaging during transits
    VPI 280 • Surface protection in acidic environments
    • HEXs, steam boilers, diesel engine coolant systems, packaging during transits
    VPI 260F • Free flowing  protect areas difficult to access
    + 280F • Use with VPI 260, 280
    VPI 300 • Protect metals in water of humid atm
    • Emulsion paint cans, spray cans, pumps, compressors
    VPI 350 • For combined protection scheme
    • Use in water or humid atm
    • Preferred use in non-air tight containers & longer term protection
    • Marine engines, HEXs, car engines
    Exterior protection
    Cocooning • Envelop equipment in single plastic coating
    • Coating; either spray 
    • Directly onto eqpmt body
    • Onto special wrapping or paper or wire netting
    • Conform to Manufacturer’s recommendations
    • Where possible, envelope should be pressurized by inert gas (small
    overpressure)
    Painting • Routine maintenance painting programmes
    Coating • For bright-finished moving parts of mechanical eqpmt  Shell
    Rhodina grease no. 2 / Shell Ensis Fluids / Shell Ensis Compounds
    • Preferably stored under cover
    Wrapping • Use waterproof paper or VPI paper
    • Stored under cover
    Interior protection
    Oil coating • Application by 1) spray, 2) filling & subsequent draining
    • Use Ensis Oil Grade N or light oil of medium viscosity (approx. 35mPa.s
    at 38degC) to form a protective film on the surface
    Filling • To consider strength of foundation
    • Consider expansion of the filling fluid (gas oil / inhibited fresh water /
    inert gas)
    Vapour- • Internal protection for engines, bearings, turbines, HEXs, pipes,
    phase drums, small tanks & like eqpmt
    corrosion • Ensure no water pockets, dry, closed off from atm
    inhibitor • If not filling eqpmt with Ensis Oil grade N  periodically splashing oil,
    for e.g.
    • Rotate moving parts
    • Add VSI concentrate
    • Hang small bag with VPI powder above liquid
    Dry inert • Protect by drying the air or displace by inert gas (nitrogen), & maintain
    gas filling slight positive internal pressure
    • No internal pressure required if desiccant or VPI is used
    Interior protection
    Desiccant • Use drying agent (eg. silica gel) inside closed eqpmt
    • Put in suitable container & renew periodically
    • Not to be used with VPI
    Electric • Consider following methods:
    heating • Fan heaters; for space heating (sub-stations, control rooms,
    basements)
    • Warm air (strip heating, electric trace heating or lamp bulbs) for
    cocooned eqpmt or enclsed
    • Anti-condensation heaters for electrical eqpmt
