PREFACE
DEP (Design and Engineering Practice) publications reflect the views, at the time of publication, of Shell Global Solutions
International B.V. (Shell GSI) and, in some cases, of other Shell Companies.
These views are based on the experience acquired during involvement with the design, construction, operation and
maintenance of processing units and facilities. Where deemed appropriate DEPs are based on, or reference international,
regional, national and industry standards.
The objective is to set the standard for good design and engineering practice to be applied by Shell companies in oil and
gas production, oil refining, gas handling, gasification, chemical processing, or any other such facility, and thereby to help
achieve maximum technical and economic benefit from standardization.
The information set forth in these publications is provided to Shell companies for their consideration and decision to
implement. This is of particular importance where DEPs may not cover every requirement or diversity of condition at each
locality. The system of DEPs is expected to be sufficiently flexible to allow individual Operating Units to adapt the
information set forth in DEPs to their own environment and requirements.
When Contractors or Manufacturers/Suppliers use DEPs, they shall be solely responsible for such use, including the
quality of their work and the attainment of the required design and engineering standards. In particular, for those
requirements not specifically covered, the Principal will typically expect them to follow those design and engineering
practices that will achieve at least the same level of integrity as reflected in the DEPs. If in doubt, the Contractor or
Manufacturer/Supplier shall, without detracting from his own respons bility, consult the Principal.
The right to obtain and to use DEPs is restricted, and is typically granted by Shell GSI (and in some cases by other Shell
Companies) under a Service Agreement or a License Agreement. This right is granted primarily to Shell companies and
other companies receiving technical advice and services from Shell GSI or another Shell Company. Consequently, three
categories of users of DEPs can be distinguished:
1) Operating Units having a Service Agreement with Shell GSI or another Shell Company. The use of DEPs by these
Operating Units is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the relevant Service Agreement.
2) Other parties who are authorised to use DEPs subject to appropriate contractual arrangements (whether as part of
a Service Agreement or otherwise).
3) Contractors/subcontractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers under a contract with users referred to under 1) or 2)
which requires that tenders for projects, materials supplied or - generally - work performed on behalf of the said
users comply with the relevant standards.
Subject to any particular terms and conditions as may be set forth in specific agreements with users, Shell GSI disclaims
any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage (including injury or death) suffered by any company or person
whomsoever as a result of or in connection with the use, application or implementation of any DEP, combination of DEPs
or any part thereof, even if it is wholly or partly caused by negligence on the part of Shell GSI or other Shell Company. The
benefit of this disclaimer shall inure in all respects to Shell GSI and/or any Shell Company, or companies affiliated to these
companies, that may issue DEPs or advise or require the use of DEPs.
Without prejudice to any specific terms in respect of confidentiality under relevant contractual arrangements, DEPs shall
not, without the prior written consent of Shell GSI, be disclosed by users to any company or person whomsoever and the
DEPs shall be used exclusively for the purpose for which they have been provided to the user. They shall be returned after
use, including any copies which shall only be made by users with the express prior written consent of Shell GSI. The
copyright of DEPs vests in Shell Group of companies. Users shall arrange for DEPs to be held in safe custody and Shell
GSI may at any time require information satisfactory to them in order to ascertain how users implement this requirement.
All administrative queries should be directed to the DEP Administrator in Shell GSI.

2. GENERAL
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of an analyser housing is to ensure that analyser systems have high
reliability, continuity of operation and maintainability by providing an improved operating
environment by protecting them from outside ambient conditions.
Analyser housing type shall be determined by using a Total Cost of Ownership approach
considering the following:
a) area classification;
b) analyser case suitability for environmental conditions, mainly temperature, dust,
saliferous ambient air and humidity;
c) maximum analyser response time;
d) required reliability;
e) sample handling, conditioning and recovery;
f) anticipated maintenance;
g) commonality of utility requirements (e.g., power, instrument air, carrier gases, flare
connection, etc.).
The size of analyser housings shall be optimised in accordance with this DEP.
As analyser shelters of pressurised design are complex and expensive to construct and
maintain, they contribute significantly to the Total Cost of Ownership. They shall therefore
only be selected when strictly required, and only if approved by the Principal.
Analysers may be field mounted individually or grouped together to reduce the installation
costs associated with providing power, utilities (instrument air, carrier or detector gases,
cooling water), climatic conditioning and access to disposal systems such as oily water
sewers or flare lines.
Field mounting using analyser cases in the proximity to the sample tap is preferred:
a) when sample handling problems are to be expected, e.g., waxy samples, trace
components,
b) when time lags as defined in DEP 32.31.50.10-Gen. cannot otherwise be met,
c) for simple analysers where the anticipated maintenance is low, e.g., conductivity,
d) when the cost of centralisation would be disproportionate to the expected
advantages,
e) when the analyser is suitable for the environment and area classification.
Analyser shelters are preferred where the analysers share common utility and sample
disposal requirements.
Environmentally controlled analyser shelters are recommended for complex analysers or
for analysers where the improved climatic conditioning significantly improves reliability such
as CEMS, GCs and mass spectrophotometers.
The design of closed and pressurised analyser shelters shall:
• provide remote analyser access via data links wherever practical,
• be premised on the basis of shop versus shelter repairs.
(Appendix A) shall be used for the selection of the type of housing.
September 2012
Page 9
2.2 ANALYSER HOUSING TYPES AND SELECTION

2.2.1 Analyser case
Analysers such as pH and conductivity meters may be installed directly in the open
(enclosed only by transmitter case) provided they comply with hazardous area classification
and environment specifications.
The advantages of this method are that the area around the case is naturally ventilated so
there is no risk of accumulation of an explosive atmosphere outside the casing. This is the
lowest cost method of installation. The disadvantages are that there is no environmental
protection for equipment or maintenance personnel.
Equipment shall be carefully specified to minimise corrosion attack.
This method of housing is generally unsuitable if analysers require heating, or if wide
temperature swings will impact reliability, or if extensive maintenance is required.
2.2.2 Analyser cabinet
Analysers may be installed singly or grouped in cabinets provided that the equipment is
installed in accordance with the hazardous area classification within the cabinet which in
turn will depend on the location of the cabinet, its construction, the degree of ventilation and
whether internal sources of release are present within the cabinet.
As climate conditions in the cabinet need to comply with the analyser specifications,
heating and/or air conditioning might be required.
(Appendix B) shall be used for the selection of the type of heating/cooling.
Installed equipment shall be easily accessible for maintenance.
Analyser cabinets provide a low cost means of improving environmental protection for
analysers.
Where possible, natural ventilation shall be used.
The advantage of a naturally ventilated method is that ventilation is permanent and
independent of mechanical failure. However, natural ventilation (if adequate) will at best
only maintain the surrounding hazardous area classification and, where flammable gases or
vapours are present, is typically one (1) zone (division) more severe.
When using natural ventilation and where use of a non-certified analyser is unavoidable
and the cabinet is to be installed in a hazardous area, additional protective measures, such
as pressurised purging, need to be applied to the analyser or cabinet to prevent any
flammable materials entering the cabinet coming into contact with potential sources of
ignition inside the analyser. Purging shall meet the requirements of the applicable regional
codes and standards such as ISA 60079-2.
The disadvantages of cabinets are:
a) It is difficult to make the analysers easily accessible other than from the front for
maintenance;
b) There is a practical limit on the size of analyser installed;
c) No protection is provided for maintenance personnel, which may impact analyser
maintenance;
d) Without HVAC, analyser(s) involved could experience wide temperature swings
which can impact their reliability.
2.2.3 Analyser shelter – open
Analyser shelters may be open on one side or may have significant openings in the lower
and upper parts of the walls. Open analyser shelters are naturally ventilated and adopt the
area classification of the area in which they are installed.
September 2012
Page 10
This construction may be used when the analysers comply with the hazardous area
classification of the location and the environmental conditions comply with the analyser
Manufacturer's specification.
The advantages of open shelters are:
a) it facilitates the grouping of analysers to reduce installation costs;
b) it allows easy access for maintenance;
c) it affords some protection for maintenance personnel;
d) it affords permanent natural ventilation;
e) it does not require ventilation for dispersion of toxic or flammable substances
The disadvantages of open shelters are:
• it does not allow the hazardous area classification to be changed
• it affords only minimum environmental protection, which makes it difficult to perform
maintenance in inclement weather and may reduce the reliability of the analyser due
to ambient temperature effects.
2.2.4 Analyser shelter – closed
Closed analyser shelters have four walls and utilize forced ventilation to achieve adequate
ventilation and in doing so maintain the area classification of the surrounding area inside
the shelter.
Closed analyser shelters are deemed unmanned buildings.
Climate conditions in the shelter shall comply with the analyser specifications, so heating
and/or air conditioning might be required.
The advantages of a closed analyser shelter are:
a) it facilitates the grouping of analysers to facilitate connections to power, signal wiring,
utilities and waste disposal;
b) it allows easy access for maintenance;
c) it affords some protection for maintenance personnel;
d) it improves analyser reliability by providing a climate controlled environment for the
analysers.
The disadvantages of a closed analyser shelter are:
• higher total cost of ownership;
• increased analyser response time by centralisation
2.2.5 Analyser shelter – pressurised
The pressurised analyser shelter has the highest cost and shall only be provided by
exception for those rare cases where analysers are not suitable for the area classification of
a closed analyser shelter. As an alternative to selecting a pressurised analyser shelter,
other ways of making individual analysers suitable for the closed analyser shelter area
classification shall be considered (e.g., analyser case purge).
See also (Appendix A).
The pressurised analyser shelter is usually only utilised for applications for which there are
no other viable alternatives such as moving the analyser to a location with a less stringent
area classification or providing a purged enclosure.
The advantages of pressurised analyser shelters are identical to those of closed analyser
shelters plus the ability to utilise an analyser which is not certified.
September 2012
Page 11
The disadvantages of pressurised analyser shelters are significantly higher fabrication and
operating costs and complexity (i.e., safeguarding).
As climatic conditions in the shelter need to comply with the analyser specifications, heating
and/or air conditioning might be required.
This DEP specifies the design and construction of pressurised analyser shelters with
respect to:
a) maintaining a non-hazardous area;
b) providing protection in the event that the means to maintain the non-hazardous area
fail;
c) procedures for maintaining the installed electrical safety protection measures;
d) maximum and minimum limits for climatic conditioning;
e) verification and testing of installed instrumented protective systems.
NOTE: Hazardous situations created by external toxic gas atmospheres shall be dealt with separately in each
individual case.
Requirements and recommendations are given for the design, construction and operation
of systems for artificial ventilation of pressurised analyser shelters, their associated
equipment such as air ducts, and the auxiliary devices necessary for providing and
maintaining the required pressure above ambient.
NOTE: For the purposes of this DEP, pressurised analyser shelters are assumed to have forced artificial
ventilation systems. Induced ventilation systems shall not be used.
2.3 BASIC DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

Analyser housings shall meet all applicable codes and standards as well as the
requirements of this DEP.
The design life of analyser housings shall be at least 20 years.
Material to be used for pre-fabricated analyser shelters shall be as specified on the
analyser cabinet/shelter data sheet.
Analyser shelters shall have a minimum 20 % spare space for future analysers with a
minimum of 1 additional spare analyser.
Analyser housings shall be suitable for the area classification and climatic conditions
specified on the analyser cabinet/shelter data sheet
Safety is improved by limiting the amount of hazardous and/or toxic fluids entering an
analyser housing.
Analyser shelter fire rating shall be detailed in the analyser cabinet/shelter data sheet. If a
fire rating is required, the detailed fire rating shall apply to shelter, door(s) and window(s) in
door(s).
Application specific requirements shall be detailed in the analyser cabinet/shelter data
sheet. The data sheet shall be approved by the Principal.
2.4 HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL (HSE) CONSIDERATIONS

2.4.1 Analyser shelter – closed
For non-pressurised analyser shelters, there are no requirements for dual ventilation fans,
ducts drawing ventilation from a non-hazardous area and interlocks of analyser power.
The quantity of flammable materials entering the interior of the shelter shall be kept to a
minimum. This shall be achieved by applying DEP 32.31.50.10-Gen.
September 2012
Page 12
Systems containing flammable or hazardous materials shall be designed and operated in

such a manner to be leak free during normal operating conditions (i.e., no open drains or
vents, appropriate materials and maintenance).
With the exception of the situation where the process fluid is relatively non-hazardous or
non-toxic (e.g., boiler feed water, biotreater effluent) or non flammable, sample conditioning
systems shall be located in sample conditioning cabinets mounted on the exterior of the
shelter. Calibration and carrier gases shall be stored outside the shelter. Calibration
samples which require temperature controlled storage, shall be stored in a separate shelter
partition.
Provision of systems for safe disposal of waste material shall be provided.
2.4.2 Analyser shelter – pressurised
The following HSSE measures shall be taken to ensure that the interior of the pressurised
analyser shelter can be classified as non-hazardous under normal operating conditions:
• The quantity of flammable materials entering the interior of the analyser shelter shall
be kept to a minimum. This shall be achieved by applying DEP 32.31.50.10-Gen.
• An efficient air ventilation system shall be provided to continuously dilute accidental
internal releases of flammable gases or vapours, if any, to a maximum level of 20 %
LFL.
NOTE: To ensure that electrical equipment does not create a hazardous condition if the ventilation system
fails, additional precautions shall be taken. See (5.1).
The following standards shall apply in conjunction with this DEP:

• IP 15 for ventilation requirements of pressurised analyser shelters and adjacent
sample conditioning areas;
• IEC/TR 60079-16 for the procedures to achieve a safe area inside the analyser
shelter that satisfies IP 15.
• IEC 61285 for maintaining the integrity of the analyser shelter and its surrounding.
September 2012
Page 13
3. LOCATION OF ANALYSER HOUSING

The following shall be taken into account when selecting the location of analyser housings:
a) required analyser response times,
b) distance to potential sources of toxic or flammable release,
c) likelihood of accumulation of toxic or flammable gases,
d) presence of water and process liquids due to spills,
e) vibration levels,
f) road access for compressed gas bottles,
g) radiant heat,
h) access for maintenance,
i) escape routes,
j) accessibility to utilities such as power, steam, water, flare, compressed air (as
applicable),
k) area classification.
In addition to the above, closed analyser shelters and pressurised analyser shelters:
• shall be located at grade (exception air demand analyser shelters),
• shall be located in a non-hazardous area or a Zone 2 (Div. 2) area, and not in a Zone
0 area or a Zone 1 (Div. 1) area.
4. CIVIL ENGINEERING ASPECTS OF ANALYSER HOUSING
4.1 GENERAL
Any preference for the type of construction, within the variations stated below, should be
specified by the Principal.
The following shall apply to all types of analyser housing.
a) Materials of construction should be of fire-resisting material and be resistant to attack
from oil and chemicals. Other environmental factors such as high humidity, frost,
solar radiation, seismic activity, etc., shall also be considered.
b) Construction shall minimise possibility of static charge build-up by careful
specification of materials, especially when employing materials such as glass
reinforced polyester/plastic (GRP) and use of earth bonding. These requirements
shall be satisfied as per IEC 60079-0.
c) Construction shall minimise the effects of corrosion. Suitable corrosion protection
coatings should be applied where necessary and care should be taken to avoid local
galvanic corrosion caused by use of dissimilar metals, e.g., stainless steel in direct
contact with mild or galvanised steel.
d) Penetrations shall be minimised and meet structural, safety and EMC
(Electromagnetic compatibility) requirements in accordance with
DEP 33.64.10.33-Gen.
e) Bulkhead panels (with appropriate bulkhead fittings) or Multiple Cable Transit (MCT)
blocks with armouring earthed at these points shall be used for both electrical and
piping penetrations. When used as a support for equipment, the enclosure should
have sufficient rigidity to minimise vibration. Appropriate reinforcement may be
required where equipment is wall mounted. Where necessary, anti-vibration
mountings and flexible pipe connections should be used to isolate vibration-sensitive
analysers from pipework and structures.
September 2012
Page 14
f) Where any form of environmental temperature control is considered within the

housing, the wall and roofing materials and construction shall be designed to
minimise heat loss (e.g., insulated). This also applies to minimising heat gain within
the housing due to solar radiation. In case of concrete analyser housing, only roof
shall be insulated to avoid ingress of solar radiation.
g) Analysers and sample conditioning systems shall be located back-to-back along the
longest walls of the analyser shelter.
h) Analyser sample conditioning systems cabinets shall be located under a canopy.
Separate enclosed conditioning rooms shall be used only by exception and in such
cases require approval of the Principal. In such cases, these areas shall be designed
so that the area classification shall not become more hazardous than Zone 2. See
(4.3).
4.2 BUILDING STANDARDS

For all types of analyser housing, the following aspects shall, wherever applicable, be taken
into account in the housing design:
• Discharging vapours to the vents, (8.5), (8.8), (8.13);

over range stated in the purchase documentation.
Means of heating interior of shelter shall be by electric heaters.
Due allowance shall be made in the sizing of the cooling and heating systems for heat
leaking through walls, roofs and doors, the effects of radiant heat from direct sunshine
and for the heat produced by the equipment (e.g., analysers) to be installed in the
shelter.
The ventilation and air conditioning system can be walled mounted in any shelter ≤ 10 m
2
2 2 2
(100 ft ). Above 10 m , (110 ft ), the HVAC shall be grade/skid mounted. Roof mounted
HVAC is not acceptable.

6.2 ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION FOR PRESSURISED ANALYSER SHELTERS

6.2.1 Artificial ventilation of the interior of a pressurised analyser shelter is required to achieve
either:
• dilution ventilation: the dilution of flammable gases and/or vapours that may
accidentally escape from equipment inside the shelter to a non-hazardous level
around any potential means of ignition; or
• overpressure ventilation: to prevent flammable and toxic gases from the outside
atmosphere entering the internal of the shelter; or
• both, dilution ventilation and overpressure ventilation, for shelters located in an area
where hydrocarbons are processed.
Dilution ventilation and overpressure ventilation shall provide an overpressure of 50 Pa
(0.2 in water) and shall comply with DEP 80.00.10.10-Gen. The pressure differential of

stack and ducting to a maximum of 8 m/s (26 ft/s).
Inlet ducts shall be airtight and shall not pass through Zone 0 or Zone 1 areas.
Inlet ducts shall have flammable gas detectors with a test gas connection and connections
for flow meters.
The ventilation air shall escape from the shelter through vertical ducts at two opposite
corners of the shelter, via exits with adjustable openings.
The inlet and exit port areas of the flow diverters and exits shall be adjustable to enable the
flow direction and overpressure to be trimmed during commissioning and later during
normal operation.
Openings in the air outlet ducting shall be flush with the floor and ceiling to allow escape of
gases and vapours both heavier and lighter than air.
The size of the ducting shall be such that air velocities inside will not create noise levels
that exceed the acceptable limits specified in DEP 31.10.00.31-Gen.
Outlet stack openings shall be higher than any equipment (e.g., HVAC equipment) installed
on the roof of the analyser shelter.
Outlet stack openings to atmosphere shall be fitted with rain hoods and wire mesh bird
screens.

7. ANALYSER SHELTER PROTECTION
7.1 GENERAL
Analyser shelters handling toxic or flammable fluids including hydrogen used as a carrier
gas or burner fuel shall be provided with appropriate gas detectors.
Alarm points for gas detectors shall be as per DEP 32.30.20.11-Gen.
Alarms shall be annunciated by a horn and a beacon (flashing type) within the analyser
shelter and by a horn and beacon mounted outside the entrance door(s) as per
DEP 32.30.20.11-Gen.
The number and location of gas detectors shall be determined by shelter size, potential
leak sources and ventilation patterns and shall be in accordance with
DEP 32.30.20.11-Gen.
If gas detectors are required, they shall be located in the direct vicinity of the controlled
outlet openings of the ventilation system inside the analyser shelter.
Infra-red types of gas detectors should be used in preference to catalytic types, unless the
flammable gas species are not detectable by infra-red types (e.g., hydrogen).
For process fluids contain both flammable and toxic gases, a review of which type of gas
detector will reach its alarm point shall be made. For example, a process gas with
flammable gases and 1 % or greater H2S will reach its H2S alarm point prior to reaching the
LFL alarm point.
If continuous toxic gas detection is still considered necessary, it should be taken into
account that if the toxic gas concentration in flammable vapours is less than 1 % molar
composition, a flammable gas detector set at an alarm level of 10 % LFL would normally be
sufficiently sensitive to give an early warning for the toxic gas constituent and the
flammable gas.
If shelter carrier gas or reference gas supply is connected to the plant nitrogen system or if
the plant air system is backed up by the plant nitrogen system, O2 detectors shall be
installed to monitor and alarm on low oxygen in air level.

Instrumented protective functions shall be classified and implemented in accordance with
DEP 32.80.10.10-Gen. For typical IPF classes relating to analyser shelters, refer to
Table 1.
7.3.1 Air intake
The presence of flammable gas at the point of fresh air intake of the ventilation system shall
be monitored in accordance with the overpressure ventilation requirements of IP 15. The
gas detector(s) shall either monitor the air flowing through inlet ducting or the atmosphere
in the direct vicinity of the fresh air intake point.
If mounted in or adjacent to the inlet air ducting, they shall be fitted so that the prevailing
flow profiles and air speed inside the ducting do not adversely affect either representative
September 2012
Page 23
sampling or the accuracy of analysis. The detector(s) shall be easily accessible for
maintenance purposes and a test gas connection shall be provided.
If it is considered credible for toxic gas to enter the shelter, a toxic gas detector shall be
installed, mounted in the same way as the flammable gas detectors.
If it is considered credible for inert gas (e.g., Nitrogen) to enter the shelter, an oxygen
deficiency detector shall be installed, mounted in the same way as the flammable gas
detectors.
7.4 ANNUNCIATION, SAFEGUARDING AND IPF CLASSIFICATION

7.4.1 Closed analyser shelter
If specified on the analyser cabinet/shelter datasheet, the ventilation failure alarm shall be
initiated on a local annunciation panel mounted near each/the entrance door(s), outside the
shelter.
Table 1 is a typical IPF classification matrix for a pressurised analyser shelter. Also

(e.g., at grade for shelters above grade);
b) secured by a cylinder rack with clips and chains and half shoes permanently
attached to the shelter exterior.
c) protected from direct sunlight, rain, and snow by a canopy.
d) provided with 50 % additional rack space (exceptions shall be evaluated on a case
by case basis).
Gas cylinders mounted to the exterior wall of the analyser shelter shall be placed upon a
grating.
Where more than 3 GCs are located in a shelter, the carrier gas should be provided by
means of a “pre-packaged cylinder cage” with a capacity of up to eight (8) bottles, fully
trimmed with regulators, a pressure relief valve, required high pressure hoses and
cylinder bumpless switch-over assembly.
A combination of component sizing, pressure reduction/pressure relief and flow restrictors
shall be used to reduce the amount of hazardous material that will be released inside the
analyser shelter in the event of a component failure.
A flow restrictor shall be provided to limit the amount of carrier, detector or calibration fluids
entering the analyser shelter to 2x the normal requirement. The flow restrictor shall be
installed downstream of the pressure regulator but upstream of the pressure relief valve.

Page 29
Regulators shall be mounted on a mounting plate with the exception of oxygen service
where the regulators shall be mounted on the gas cylinders. The mounting plate shall be
attached to the exterior of the shelter. This is done for shelters at grade or at a suitable
mounting location for cylinders located apart from the shelters. In both cases, the
regulator shall be protected from direct sunlight, rain, and snow by a canopy.
Storage facilities shall be sized based on cylinders dimensions as specified in the
analyser cabinet/shelter datasheet.
Where practical, sufficient space shall be provided for two calibration cylinders per
analyser. For applications requiring liquid calibration vessels, a single calibration vessel is
required.
Calibration cylinders containing relatively small amounts of hydrocarbon gases or vapours
e.g., vapour phase calibration standards at pressures less than 600kPa (ga) (87 psi (ga))
with less than 700 L (185 gal) of flammable gas, may be stored in the interior of an
analyser shelter if approved by the Principal. In such cases, a cylinder heating blanket shall
be supplied.
8.11 HEATED STORAGE

Provision shall be made to ensure that no phase or concentration changes occur in the test
or calibration samples during storage.
Individual liquid vessel or gas cylinder heater blankets shall be provided when the required
storage temperature of the calibration or test sample exceeds the normal analyser shelter
or analyser cabinet temperature (15 °C (59 °F)).
Liquid vessels or gas cylinders requiring heated storage shall be mounted in a heated and
insulated storage cabinet. The use of heating blankets to preclude the requirement for a
heated cabinet or room (i.e., ambient storage), is not permitted under any circumstances.
Each cylinder annex shall be equipped with a power receptacle.
