    6. OPERATING AND CONTROL PHILOSOPHY

    6.1. GENERAL

    The South Pars Phases 22, 23 & 24 Onshore Plant instrumentation and control design philosophy is based on a distributed concept, integrating: A permanently manned Central Control Room (CCR) used to operate process

    Trains and major utility units from a Distributed Control System (DCS). A Jetty Control room located on the jetty for local monitoring of information coming

    from LPG tankers and of environmental conditions in the vicinity of the berth. One redundant Fiber Optic communication link (via SPIFON) will be provided to montor the required information on PCS operating consoles in CCR.

    Fourteen (14) unmanned instrument technical rooms (ITR) which contain all the field interface units.

    Inter communication between these locations, by communication networks and by hardwired links for safety related functions.

    Two wellhead Platforms normally unmanned. The Offshore platform equipment will be monitored on consoles installed into CCR and shared with onshore units

    For See Water Intake, the individual control systems equipments will be installed inside SS7 in dedicated instrument room. All required information will be transferred and monitored in CCR by one redundant communication link .

    The overall control system must allow the integration and independence of units considering plant operating and commissioning phasing requirements into a central control building. In particular the control and safety system shall be designed in such a way that commissioning of one phase be possible with the other phase in operation in the same time, and the system integration of this phase shall be possible without the need to wait for Plant overhaul.

    6.2. OPERATING ASPECTS

    6.2.1. ONSHORE PLANT OPERATION

    The Phases 22, 23 & 24 Onshore Plant is controlled and protected by an Integrated Plant Control system (IPCS). The IPCS shall be capable of controlling the plant during start-up, normal operation, and emergency shutdown.

    Page 11 of 47

    6.2.1.1. NORMAL OPERATING ASPECT

    Day to day plant operation of the process trains and major utility units will be controlled from the CCR. The DCS operator consoles shall be the main operating interfaces. Local panels shall only be used where there is a need to operate, start or test major plant equipment in the field. As an example, rotating equipment auxiliaries (lube and seal oil, cooling water systems) shall normally be started locally. Start-up inhibits shall be carried out automatically as far as possible by the control system during a start up sequence, or manually from the operator console. In normal operation, the control system shall aim at a steady, efficient and safe operation of the plant and should be capable of operating between the maximum and the minimum design conditions as given in the basis of design. Operator manipulations during normal operation shall be restricted to adjustment of set points, change control modes (auto, manual, cascade, ...) activate remote commands (open, close, run, stop, ....), acknowledge alarms. Manual operation of controls shall be limited to special cases such as: Repair of field equipment, Start-up of rotating equipment, Infrequent and simple operations. Roving field operators shall perform such tasks as isolation, observation, changeover to standby equipment under the supervision of CCR personnel. CCTV facilities for remote monitoring of some specific areas (flares, ....) shall be available above Operator Control desk (OCD) in CCR. Software inhibit functions shall be available for safety systems for testing and maintenance purposes via dedicated maintenance stations located in ITRs.

    6.2.1.2. ABNORMAL OPERATING ASPECT

    While operating the units, the operator shall be informed on safety matters. Sufficient means such as trend functions, indicators, and alarms shall be provided on DCS console in the CCR to enable the detection of abnormal situation: abnormal operating conditions, equipment failure, gas leaks, fire, and automatic shut-down If the operating conditions approach the mechanical limits of the plant equipment, the safety system shall automatically drive the plant to a safe condition. Manual activation of the safety shutdown systems shall be from the OCD in CCR via hardwired PBs and/or from the field, to initiate shutdowns or activate fire protection systems. After trips, return to normal operation shall not be possible unless the safety shutdown systems have been manually reset. This is to avoid the possibility of an uncontrolled Plant re-start when the process has returned to a safe condition.

    6.2.2. LOADING AND SHIPPING OPERATIONS

    Condensate Condensate will be transferred from tanks to ships via dedicated condensate loading pumps. Selection of tanks and transfer operations will be monitored from CCR OCD. Transferred quantities will be determined using inventory data given by the tank gauging system. LPG Propane and Butane will be transferred from storages to ships via dedicated loading pumps, and loading arms located on jetty. Selection of storage tanks, setting of batch mass/volume, setting of holding/loading modes, initiation and monitoring of loading operations will be done from CCR OCD. Transferred quantities will be determined using Propane and Butane metering systems data. Local monitoring of LPG loading operation will also possible from Jetty Control Room on metering systems workstation and local PCS station. A Marine Terminal Information system will provide the operator with information concerning the approach of LPG tanker to the berth and the meteorological conditions, locally in the Jetty Control Room, and remotely in CCR.

    6.2.3. ONSHORE PIPELINE OPERATION (OUT OF CONTRACTOR SCOP OF WORK)

    All the control and monitoring functions of the pipeline shall be accomplished at the pipeline area. There is no remote control or monitoring facility by using the electronic signal transmission.

    6.2.4. OFFSHORE OPERATION

    In the case of any malfunction of the plant equipment or its associated instrumentation gives rise to hazards for personnel, or leads to consequences of economic loss (e.g. damage of main equipment or severe production loss), the safety systems will bring automatically the relevant units or part of the units to a safe condition. The lowest level of protection generally acts as an additional loop that protects and/or trips equipment. These actions will be performed on the DCS. The Emergency Shutdown systems are the detection and logic systems that initiate shutdown actions and depressurization (ESD/EDP) required by emergency situation and applicable to the fire zones or the process units. The emergency shutdown shall be SIL3 rated. The Ultimate Safety Systems (USS) will be hardwired signals that provide diversified redundancy of ESD action upon manual activation to avoid common modes of failure with ESD/EDP systems and systematic failures (e.g. software errors). The High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS) are the detection & logic systems that stop a source of high pressure and safely keep the pressure within the design limits with limited release of process fluid to flare. Those systems are based upon components of known high reliability and permit on-line testing without reduction of trip integrity. The reliability assessment of the system shall include the whole loop from sensor to actuator and shall take into account operation and environment. HIPPS systems shall only be used where it proves impractical or prohibitively expensive to provide alternative ultimate protection. This type of system shall be used with POGCs approval only. The Fire and Gas systems (FGS) are the detection and logic systems that monitor fire and gas detectors and initiate relevant actions.

    6.4. DESIGN CRITERIA FOR AVAILABILITY

    The IPCS systems and sub-systems shall be designed to minimize the system failure in order to achieve safe start-up, normal shutdown, emergency shutdown and safe, continuous, accurate, and efficient operation with minimum maintenance. The following figures are related to the control and logic, from system input cards to system output cards. Control and monitoring systems (PCS/SD3)

    Availability shall be better than 99.9 % with a MTTR of 4 hrs

    Safety Systems (ESD/EDP, USS,FGS) Equal to SIL3(from input card to output card) Availability shall be better than 99.99 % with a MTTR of 4 hrs

    The shutdown systems shall act to: detect any abnormal operational or equipment condition, react to this condition automatically by shutting down and/or isolating sections of

    the plant shutdown utilities including HVAC, isolate the electrical supplies blow down sections of the plant on operator request with the objective of preventing any consequential effect of the abnormal condition.

    10.1.2. SHUTDOWN LEVELS

    Several levels of shutdown are defined, depending on the criticality of shutdown causes and consequences. Level 1 (ESD1) = Fire zone emergency shutdown. ESD1 activation isolates the fire zone and brings into safe shutdown conditions all process & utilities systems inside the zone. It is initiated manually from CCR & from field, or automatically further to Fire & Gas detection or loss of essential control. As define by the P&IDs and process cause & effect diagram. Level 2 (SD2) = Unit shutdown. SD2 activation brings into safe conditions and isolates a process unit. It is initiated manually from CCR or from field, and automatically in case of loss of essential control or if operating conditions reach beyond acceptable limits for safe operation. As define by the P&IDs and process cause & effect diagram. Level 3 (SD3) = Equipment shutdown. SD3 activation brings into safe conditions and isolates a process equipment or packaged unit. It is initiated manually or automatically in case of abnormal operating condition. As define by the P&IDs and process cause & effect diagram.

    10.1.3. DEPRESSURIZATION/BLOW DOWN

    The fire zone emergency depressurization and blow down (EDP) allow reducing pressure from the maximum operating pressure to a specific threshold further to detection of outdoors abnormal F&G conditions. It will be manually trigged by dedicated PBs in CCR, which initiate the fire zone depressurization on the condition that ESD1 of related fire zone has been previously activated (manually or automatically). Some equipment requires to be depressurized after some fault, e.g. gas compressor after a seal shaft failure; they will be fitted with depressurization system activated independently from EDP.

    Automatic initiation

    Shutdown systems shall be designed to operate automatically when the process is outside normal operating limits and when a dangerous situation is likely to occur before an operator could intervene. Shutdown should be automatically initiated only as last resort and should generally be preceded by alarms displayed on OCS, to give operators as much time as possible for corrective actions. Shutdown systems will also be automatically activated by the F&G logic.

    Manual initiation Shutdown may be initiated manually, either locally, or remotely from CCR.

    SD3 may be activated locally by PBs hardwired to PCS/UCP, or in CCR from the OCS.

    Manual activation of ESD1 and SD2 shall be completely independent from PCS so that PCS error cannot make this activation inoperable. It shall be initiated by PBs hardwired directly to input cards of ESD systems. A very few number of Ultimate Safety PBs by passing the ESD logic, allow initiating main shutdown actions in case of ESD PLC errors. Those PBs shall be directly hardwired, in marshalling cabinets, to the electrical supply circuits of solenoid valves that operate the essential ESDVs or BDVs.

    Each inhibit function shall be reset automatically either by the sensor signal reverting to the normal or healthy state, after a dedicated step of the equipment start-up sequence, after a predetermined time delay, or by a set of process conditions. If cancelled automatically by the sensor signal, the input circuitry will prevent nuisance trips being caused by oscillation of the input around the reset value.

    Maintenance inhibit

    Maintenance inhibit switches shall be used to inhibit trip initiators to enable maintenance or on-line functional testing. The following shall be adhered to: When the trip transmitter is inhibited, the operator shall check frequently the

    associated control transmitter measurement so that manual actions (remove the inhibit or activate manually ESD) can be taken in case the process moves out of limits.
