Extension of ammonia storage tanks in a petrochemical plant.
The new Ammonia Pond must operate at a storage temperature of -33° Celsius at approximately 1-atmosphere pressure to feed all with required process plants and services (water, air, electricity, etc.) Liquid ammonia to be stored will be unloaded from a ship (at a rate of 450 tn/h) through an underwater pipe.
Alternatives:
- 10,000 metric tonne Double Wall Pond.
- 20,000 metric tonne Double Wall Pond.
Scope:
- Detailed review of conceptual engineering and client requirements.
- Study of physical facilities (plant) and review of equipment plans in terms of measures in order to comply with regulations and industrial safety standards.
- Revision of process flow diagrams and drafting of P&ID charts (Piping and Instrumentation Diagram), single-line charts for electrical installations, control charts, among others.
- Sizing of equipment to be used according to plant availability.
- Preliminary calculations of each system on the project (mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, electronic, etc.).
- Initial equipment list: PLC, AC Drives, sensors, valves, piping, cable, power supplies, motors and, in general, everything that will be part of the project.
- General plans (plot plan, layouts)
- Technical specifications of the main components
- Process flow diagrams (PFD)
- Piping and instrumentation charts (P&IDs)
- Basic calculation records (data, conclusions and results of calculation file) for process and auxiliary systems
- Lists of lines, equipment, valves, etc.
Disciplines:
- Civil.
- Processes.
- Mechanical (Tank).
- Piping.
- Electricity.
- Instrumentation.
- PCI.
