•Hold pressure in the crude column and stabilizer by manually operating 11-PIC-1506
and 11-PIC-1101 respectively.
•Hold levels in columns, vessels by manually closing the respective control valves.
• Shut off ejectors steam and close hot well vent valve and hot well gases to 11-FF-
00-101.
Action from the field:
•Ensure furnace snap shut valves on gas and oil lines are shut. Close block valves on oil
and gas.
•Ensure coil steam snap shut control valves on FF-00-101,102 have opened wide and
block valves of individual coils are open.
•Block off desalter water drains and block valves at water injection points.
•Purge individual oil lines by opening purging steam to the oil guns and furnace by
snuffing steam.
• Close pump discharge valves.
• Establish fuel oil circulation in the heater circuit. Open purging steam to individual oil
burners.
• Open emergency steam to all the eight passes of the vacuum heater 12-FF-00-101.
• Open fuel gas to inlet of first stage ejectors to bring up the system pressure to 0.5
kg/cm2g.
All fire to the heater including pilot will be cut off. Burner guns will be steam
purged.Other pumps can be run to empty out and cool the system as far as possible.
Stop stripping steam to crude column and strippers. Crude column refluxing should
continue at a flow rate to cool down the column.
If cooling water supply is not restored soon and flushing oil from offsite is available at
sufficient pressure, RCO can be flushed out through VR circuit. Alternatively, steam
purging can be done to displace the heater stuff.
In Vac. Section cut off steam to ejectors and close UV-1402 on vent gas KOD routing
gases to Atmospheric heater and vent line valve UV-1401.
Atm. Section:
• Ensure that safety shut down control valve UV-1451 & UV-1452 cuts off fuel gas supply and
UV-1453 cut off fuel oil supply to the heater. Isolate individual oil burners.
Vacuum Section:
• Ensure safety shut down valve UV-1151 & UV-1152 cuts off fuel gas supply and UV-1153 cut
off fuel oil supply to heater.
Common:
• Burner guns will be steam purged. FD/ID fans will be allowed to run as long as possible.
Reduce the through put slowly to minimum and if instrument air failure is for longer duration
start the normal shutdown of the unit.
• The flow through shut-down valves and control valves open on air failure will be manually
restricted to maintain normal level, pressure and temperature in columns and vessels.
• In the event of failure of a control valve it can either be bypassed or operated with the aid of a
hand wheel provided. All bypass valves are globe type to facilitate control of flow rate.
Atm. Section:
• Steam for atomising and stripping will no be available. Reduce throughtput slowly and Cut off
fire to the heater. FD/ID fans may be kept running.
• Shut off all burners and flush out all oil burners.Keep fuel oil circulation on.
• Resort to circulation in the bottom section using VR Circuit and crude tank. Vacuum unit will be
on short circulation through its furnace.
• Start close circulation by diverting 11-PA-CF-110 A/B discharge to 12-FF-00-101 inlet through
VR circuit and crude tank.
• Close ejector steam valves, UV-1402 on vent gas KOD gases line to crude heater fire box and
vent line valve UV-1401.
• Close non-condensable return to inlet of first stage ejectors through PIC-1218. Back in fuel gas
and maintain pressure at about 0.5 kg/cm2g.
• Start circulation from 12-PA-CF-105 A/B to 12-FF-00-101 inlet. Keep the coil flow at minimum
level. Start emptying out heavy stocks to slop by diverting a part of 12-PA-CF-105 A/B discharge
through VR circuit.
• Cut in flushing oil to the bottom of vacuum column. Start close circulation by diverting 11-PA-CF-
110 A/B discharge to 12-FF-00-101 inlet through VR circuit and crude tank.
UPS FAILURE Causes:
1) DCS failure - (operator station becomes blank)
2) PLC failure
3) Communication system failure
Failure of DCS will cause various control valves to go to fail safe position. There will be no
indication of pressure temperature level and flow in the panel as well as in the back up panel.
PLC also fails. So plant automatically takes emergency shutdown. As an additional
precautionary measure release emergency trip switch from CCR and also put all trip switched in
‘RUN’ position.
Telephone also can be used for communication.
• Stop all the pumps, reflux and circulating reflux after the level is minimum.
• Standby pumps will be pressed into service for any trouble with the
running pump.
• FALL-1101 B to 1108 B which will cut off supply of fuel oil and fuel gas to
the furnace. If the failure is due to atm. column bottom pump, start the spare
pump.
• Cut firing rate in the furnace in case FALL is not activated already.
• Feed to the heater will be stopped and Stuffing steam will be opened in radiation
and convection sections.
• Emergency coil steam will be opened in all the passes of the heater.Product/pump
around pumps will be stopped when they loose suction.
• Column pressure will be closely watched for any rise of pressure due to additional
amount of steam put into the heater coil.
• Float the unit on fuel gas and allow gas to escape to furnace by sufficiently
increasing steam to heater coils. Empty out the tower by pumping from all trays and
column bottom till pumps loose suction.
• Take flushing oil into the column and dilute its content, pump out the oil from the
column. Drain out remaining oil from the column to CBD.
• Steam out the unit as per normal procedure and hand over to maintenance for
installing blinds as per master blind list.
