A General Requirements

6.3 All reciprocating compressor cylinders operating at or within 5°C of

SAES-K-403,
A1 the saturated gas conditions at the compressor cylinder suction pressure
Para. 6.3
shall take suction from a suction knock out drum.

The knock out drum shall include the following:

1. An all stainless steel demister pad designed to limit liquid
droplets at the outlet to 10 microns.
2. The knock out drum have automatic liquid drains and separate SAES-K-403,
A2
high and high-high level sensing instruments for alarm and Para. 6.3
shutdown.
(NOTE: The automatic and manual liquid drains shall incorporate
stainless steel internals. )

Pressure relief valves shall be installed on all knock out drums in SAES-K-403,
A3
accordance with SAES-J-600. Para. 6.5
The extension piping (inlet pipe) of the relief valve shall be kept to the
SAES-K-403,
A4 minimum length possible, and provided with welded gussets at the
Para. 6.5
attachment to the vessel.
Suction piping downstream of the suction drums and pulsation
suppression devices of compressors operating at or within 5°C of the gas
SAES-K-403,
A5 saturation temperature shall be heat traced, either with steam,
Para. 6.6
electrically or a heat transfer fluid, and insulated to ensure that
condensation of liquids does not occur.

All piping, piping components and pulsation suppression equipment

between the compressor cylinder suction flange up to and including the SAES-K-403,
A6
cylinder suction block valve shall be rated for the compressor discharge Para. 6.7
pressure.
All process gas compressors shall be provided with vent piping on the
SAES-K-403
A7 suction and discharge sides of pulsation suppression devices, as close
Para 6.9
as practical to the cylinder nozzle connections.

Vents (As described in item A2 above) shall be permanently connected SAES-K-403

A8
to the flare header and shall include a check valve. Para 6.9

A permanent spool-mounted stainless steel conical strainer 920 micron

(20 mesh) of adequate strength shall be installed in all compressor
SAES-K-403
A9 cylinder inlet lines..
Para 6.10
Note:Strainers in accordance with Standard Drawing AB-036764 may be
used.

A differential pressure gauge shall be installed to measure the SAES-K-403

A10
differential pressure across the strainer Para 6.10

A single internally damped non-slam piston type check valve, specifically

SAES-K-403
A11 designed for pulsating flow, is installed in the common discharge header
Para 6.12
downstream of all compressors

No.

A spectacle blind shall be installed in each compressor cylinder suction

SAES-K-403
A12 and discharge line at a location adjacent to and on the cylinder side of
Para 6.13
the cylinder isolation valves.
Each cylinder suction block valve shall be furnished with a ¼ inch bypass
SAES-K-403
A13 line complete with a globe valve and spectacle blind to allow the
Para 6.14
compressor to be pressurized slowly

For hydrogen service (molecular weight less than 12), all block valves SAES-K-403
A14
shall be of the double block arrangement Para 6.15

For compressors in hydrogen service (molecular weight less than 12),

SAES-K-403
A15 the suction and discharge piping serving each cylinder shall use double
Para 6.15
block and bleed arrangements.

All suction piping between each compressor cylinder pulsation

suppression device and the first upstream vessel shall be chemically SAES-K-403
A16
cleaned. Para 6.17
Note: Cleaning procedures shall be conducted after hydrotesting .

All vent lines to flare shall include a check valve to prevent the possibility SAES-K-403
A17
of reverse flow from the flare header. Para 6.19
