28. Place the Produced Water Flash Drum 01-V-281 in

service:
• As interface level builds up in the Produced Water
Flash Drum 01-V-281:
Field Operator:
• Ensures that vent block valve 186-V-15 on 01-V-281
to MP vent header is “Locked Open”.
CAUTION: Increased flow to 01-V-281 will result in
additional flash gas and increase in operating
pressure of the drum and finally liquid carry over to
the MP vent header. Hence it is important to ensure
186-V-15 is “Locked open”.
• Ensures that the upstream block valve 186-V-17 and
downstream block 186-V-19 on 01-LV-2807 are
open.
• Monitor the interface level on the sight glass 01-LG-

2807.
Board Operator:
• When the level in 01-V-281 is above the low low level
shut down value of 9% as indicated on 01-LI-2802,
open shut down valve 01-SDV-2801 using hand
switch 01-HS-2801 from the CMS.
• Initially if no HC’s are present in 01-V-281, open 01-
LIC-2807 in MAN mode to establish produced water
flow to CPI Separator 06-X-571.
• When HC’s enter 01-V-281 and the interface level as
indicated by 01-LIC-2807 is approximately at 50%
level then place 01-LIC-2807 in AUTO mode with a
SP of 50%.
• On high interface level alarm on 01-LIC-2807 at 60%,
inform Field Operator.
Field Operator:
• Open the internal stand-pipe block valve 186-V-23
and 186-V-14 from 01-V-281 to Closed Wet HC drain
system.
• Close 186-V-23 and 186-V-14, when the interface
level as indicated by 01-LIC-2807 is around 50%.
29. Increase feed rate to train at 100% rates:

Board Operator
• Monitor train 1 conditions and scan through all the
graphics to ensure stable operations of Train 1.
• Increase feed as follows:
Place the “Pressure / Flow Option “hand switch
“Flow “option.
Using hand switch “Flow Option SP” 01-HIC-
1449 on the Expander / Compressor slowly
increase the SP the flow to Train 1 as indicated
3
on 01-FIC-1420 is approximately 6922 10 Sm3/d.
Monitor train 1 conditions and scan through all
the graphics to ensure stable operations of Train
1.
After gas flow to train 1 is increased, place the
“Pressure / Flow Option” hand switch 01-HS-
1447 on the Expander / Compressor to “Pressure

Option”.
30. Place the Mercury Absorber in service:

Note: The following step may be carried out at 50%
feed rate to the train, if the train is operated at this
mode for an extended time frame.
Field Operator:
• Open the butterfly valve 131-V-14 slightly at the inlet
of the Mercury Absorber.
Board Operator:
• Monitors the H2S content on the analyzer as
indicated by 01-AI-1100 and instruct Field Operator
to continue opening until the H2S content as indicated
on 01-AI-1100 is less than 1.5 ppm.
Field Operator:
• Send a check sample of the gas from the outlet of the
Mercury Absorber and Gas H2S Absorber to the
laboratory.
• During normal operations whenever the H2S content
tends to rise the Field Operator in co-ordination with
the Board Operator, partially closes the butterfly
valve 131-V-14 on the inlet of the Mercury Absorber
so that the H2S content as indicated on 01-AI-1100 is
less than 1.5 ppm.
