For the 1st development stage, the pipeline throughput of 1.5 Mbpd – 3.0
Mbpd of typical sour crude as per Table 1.5.6.1.1, Appendix B1, for the
2nd development stage, the pipeline throughput of 2.5 Mbpd – 5.0 Mbpd
of typical sour crude as per Table 1.5.6.1.2, Appendix B1, all maximum
pressure regions were computed in different sections of the pipeline
based on the above design flowrates. The optimized location of pump
station points towards a pipeline size of 48 inch given the terrain
conditions along the proposed alignment.
For the 1st development stage, the first mainline pump station (PS1)
located at km 0,i.e. within the Tg. Piandang Onshore Terminal Complex.
The next mainline pump station (PS2) located at km 73 is between towns
Selama and Lenggong. Pump station 3 (PS3) is located at km 182 which
is close to Jeli.

Station No. 1), there is also requirement for power to the intermediate
Pump Station No. 2, Pump Station No. 3 and Tumpat terminal. The main
line pumping facilities have a requirement for high voltage power to the
pump drivers (electric motors), power for the station operations: control
room, offices, lights, valve actuators and utility power.
Back-up power is not a critical issue for operational except for safety,
monitoring and shutdown systems. The control and ESD (emergency
shutdown) systems will have back-up power in the form of a UPS
(uninterrupted power supply) DC package. There will be an emergency
generator for emergency lighting and power (for valve actuators, control
room and safety systems), which will run on tank diesel. There will be no
separate back-up power connection for the mainline pumps in the event
that there is a failure with the grid or power connection to the station.

block valves are not in danger of being accidentally closed since some
planning and effort must be expended to close one of these valves.
The following sections will outline the shutdown approach proposed for
the various cases.
Transportation Consultants
03 April 2018
Northern Malaysian Crude Oil Pipeline Feasibility Study: M&E Final Report ● 2008 |10|
a. Emergency Shutdown
A manual switch at a pump station’s control room activates emergency
shutdown. Shutdown requires block valve closure to isolate the affected
area and the tripping of the pumps. The shutdown signal is transmitted
through the SCADA system for alarm and control response in cases
where design limits are threaten, elsewhere along the pipeline.
The central SCADA system will monitor the above events and allow for
corrective measures either manually or automatically at other locations.
It is proposed that the SCADA central command station be stationed in
Tumpat Onshore Terminal.
b. Process Shutdown
Process shutdowns result from deviation in steady state conditions which
are not immediate emergencies but can nevertheless develop into a
serious problem if left uncorrected. For process shutdowns which are
critical, a high integrity shutdown system is required. High integrity,
through more sophisticated technology and backup control mechanisms
ensures that activation of shutdown will not fail. A low integrity system
for less critical shutdowns will not need these safeguards. Process
upsets are monitored by using pressure, temperature, flow and level
transmitters. Redundant pressure transmitters are also provided on
critical services.
c. Operations Shutdown

Operators can quickly respond, shutdown and isolate the station when
there is indication that potentially hazardous situations are about to
occur such as fire, gas leaks, pipeline ruptures, security breaches or any
natural disaster (landslide,flooding,etc). They may also intervene if there
is a major incident that might put individuals at risk, cause property
damage or result in loss of fluid transmission.
There are individual unit shutdowns that will allow the station to
continue operating by either starting stand-by units or reducing
throughput or having the station on standby until operators can identity
and resolve the upset conditions. A failure of a pump or nonessential
equipment item is not critical for pipeline continuous operation. If the
individual unit shutdown is non-critical, then its activation by manual trip
or block valve closure will not shut down the pump station and entire
pipeline.

First start and warm-up the motors/pumps. The motors should operate
at idle speed with crude oil circulating to the recirculation header. Pump
speed will be under manual control. Line pack during normal pipeline
shutdown will be such that pump suction pressures will be greater than
the required NPSH (net position suction head) for the pumps. The pump
speed controller will take control of pump speed to hold a constant flow
rate. Then the next pump station will repeat the startup process and so
on till the line is packed up to the highest elevation. Take note that all
these startup operations shall be monitored and controlled remotely from
the main control center for the pipeline.

4.6.7.4 Coatings
The external surfaces of the pipeline will be protected by a coating
system. Several coating systems have been used over the years, such as
coal tar, fusion bonded epoxy (FBE), and polyethylene in three layers.
The methods best suited for corrosion monitoring are corrosion coupons
and electrical resistance probes. It is recommended that the use of
corrosion coupons be considered during FEED for use for monitoring
possible internal corrosion of the pipeline. The selection of areas of use
for corrosion coupons needs further investigation during FEED.

It is also envisioned that the set point will be accomplished by using pilot
regulators. The output of the regulator will feed into a 3-way, solenoid
operated valve with a set point pressure being selected to actuate the
pressure reducing valve. The solenoid will be energized by the supervisory
control by the pipeline operator’s discretion or by a contact closure from
the local high pressure switch. The system will be designed such that if
communications with the Tumpat Pipeline Control Center and the high
pressure switch contact be lost, the system will go to a prearranged safe
condition that will maintain a line packed condition.
Since power supply requirements for PRS are fairly small, the utility
company will be able to provide supply at 11KV. Power utilization for the
station will mainly be for communication (telecontrol) and SCADA facilities.
It is anticipated that a standby generator be installed to maintain power
supply during power outages.

4.6.11.6.2.1 Inspection
Internationally known agencies such as SGS or Lloyds will provide
personnel at the loading ports to witness the loading, the taking of samples
and the transfer of paperwork reflecting the cargo being carried. This is
likely to be at the behest of the company which ‘owns’ the oil or that
company charged with the further transportation by tanker. Malaysian
Landbridge Inc. will have procedures for co-ordination of third party
inspection, as part of the overall operating procedures, which will be agreed
by those companies, whose oil is to be transited.
4.6.11.6.2.2 Sampling
All cargoes of oil have samples taken from the loading stream, either at
random or at prescribed intervals or locations (such as the tanker cells).
Some of these samples are carried by the tanker captain and would be given
to the inspector at the unloading port for storage for analysis (if there were
any questions about the cargo quality). The pipeline operator will keep a set
of samples at Tumpat, until the cargo is reported delivered to, and accepted
at, its final destination.

known, and the volume easily calculated by gauging the depths of oil in the
tanks before loading.
The cells on the tanker to be loaded will also be inspected before loading
and the volumes ‘dipped’ after loading, to provide another method of
computing the volume loaded on board the tanker to compare with the
volume of oil determined from the Tumpat tanks.
4.6.11.6.3.1 Metering
The oil volumes pumped from the Tumpat terminal storage tanks into the
tanker will be metered to a very accurate fiscal standard. This standard will
be agreed by those oil companies or producers whose oil will be transited
through the Landbridge pipeline system.
High reliability and availability will be achieved by making all of the critical
components of the SCADA system redundant as well as incorporating
redundant power supplies in network equipment.

1. Prologue
Pipeline hydraulics deals with the flow of fluids in pipelines. Fluids are
defined as liquids and gases. Liquids are considered to be incompressible
for most purposes. Our main task is to transport crude oil through hundreds
of kilometers of pipelines from vessels to storage tanks and delivery
terminals. We are interested in the required pressure and horsepower for
transporting a liquid from point A to point B in a pipeline. It is clear that the
heavier the liquid, the more pressure and hence more horsepower required
to transport a given quantity for a specified distance. In all these cases we
are interested in determining the optimum pipe size required to transport
given volumes of liquids economically and safely through the pipelines.
Our initial desk study of the proposed alignment gathered in early Mar 2008
and the following parameters of the pipeline hydraulic study, we are able to
propose the pipeline size, nos. and location of the pump stations.
Design parameters:

We can see that the maximum working pressure in the pipeline is below
1,142 psi.
We can assume that the pipe can use ANSI 600 (MAOP: 1,440 psi) standard
for pipe ordering. Note that pump station capacity is in the vicinity between
8-15 MW total per station per line .
