1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Document Objective

The objective of this document is to establish the Project Design Basis (PDB) and provide all the
design information required for carrying out study for new Methanol Export line for its size &
routing options to new liquid jetty area. Based on selected option for piping size and pipe routing,
Detailed Design activities for the same will be carried out.

1.2 Project Background

Salalah Methanol Company operated Methanol Loading Arms for exporting the product through ships
from Berth 31 in Port of Salalah. A new liquid jetty has been constructed by Port of Salalah (POS) for
handling liquid products. Piping service corridor (Central Service Corridor – CSC) from proximity of
Methanol plant till the new liquid jetty is being constructed by Oman Gas Company for MOTC. As per
the agreement with Port of Salalah, OQ METHANOL has to install new loading arms within 15 months
after completion of central service corridor.

1.3 Site Location

OQ Methanol is situated near to the coast at Salalah, south of Muscat. The Methanol plant is
located at Salalah free zone, Sultanate of Oman. Adjacent to the Methanol plant there are
existing jetty which hosts the loading facilities for Methanol loading in to the ships. The new jetty
is located around 5 km from existing Methanol plant. Figure 1 shows the location of Methanol
plant, existing Jetty and new jetty, along with routing for new Methanol export line.

1.4 Scope of the Project & Execution Strategy

This project will be conducted in 3 phases of execution. Below graphs provides provisional
approach toward each phase and elaborate T&P scope consideration of each phase. However
this document is applicable for Phase 1 of the project only.

1.4.1 Phase 1 – Engineering and Adequacy Checking Stage

Within this phase, engineering of Piping within OQ Methanol and port are done considering the
point that equipment are adequate, Hook up to existing power supply in port, Telecom system,
firefighting system, etc. will be done at this phase. Also adequacy of items will be checked and
agreed to be re used / replaced. However, engineering of inadequate items will be carried out
as a part of Phase 2 & 3.

Figure 2: Phase 1, Engineering

As part of this phase of project is first to perform studies to identify suitable size and routing
options for the new Methanol export pipe line from existing Methanol plant up to the new jetty
area. Also this study will review the adequacy of existing Methanol transfer pumps and loading
arms in order to cater the Methanol supply at new jetty. Based on hydraulic analysis and inputs
from other disciplines, if any inadequacy is identified during the study, same will be highlighted
and required actions will be taken care under separate project scope. If the existing loading arms
are adequate then the same will be relocated to new jetty area. Based on constructability
aspects, time required for relocation etc., decision will be made to relocate all three loading arms
together or one-by one.

Detail design will be performed for the selected pipe size and pipe routing up to loading arm at
new jetty. As a part of this Detailed Design, all necessary engineering activities shall be carried
out to produce all relevant drawings, documents, schemes, data sheets, specifications,
requisitions, reports, calculations etc., as necessary to complete Detailed Design for all
disciplines and required for cost estimation and Construction tendering.

1.4.2 Phase 2 - Engineering of Inadequate Items

After completion of phase 1 and based on result of adequacy checking, engineering activities of
inadequate items such as export pumps, Methanol reinjection pumps at port, loading arms and
existing on plot pipe rack etc. will be taken up under separate project.

2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Sections below provide the information about the existing and the proposed new facilities as a
part of this project.

2.1 Description of Existing Facilities

The existing Methanol storage consists of two storage tanks (20-TK3401B/C), three pumps (20-
P3401A/B/C, two working and one stand-by) for pumping the product for ship loading. Prior to
loading the Methanol is metered through a metering station to monitor the quantity of Methanol
exported. The Methanol storage tanks are internal floating roof tanks with 62.5 m diameter & 17
m of working height. The capacity of each Methanol transfer pump is 2000 m3/h. A temporary
scraper launcher is provided for cleaning the Methanol line during pre-commissioning.

For draining the dead volume in storage tanks and other process drains in the Methanol storage
area a Methanol drain tank is provided which is kept under nitrogen blanketing. The Methanol
drain tank is provided with vertical sump pump that pumps the Methanol (or Methanol water
mixture) to the rerun tank 20‐TK1503 on the Methanol plant. A dewatering ejector is provided
for draining the containment in which the Methanol drain tank rests.

At the port the Methanol is loaded on to ships by means of loading arms (20-Z3402A/B/C).
Temporary scraper receiver is provided to collect the scraper from the launcher during pre‐
commissioning. OQ Methanol operates Methanol Loading Arms for exporting the product
through ships from Berth 30 in the Port of Salalah.

A Methanol berth drain tank (20-TK3403) is provided at the berth to collect the Methanol that
will be drained from the loading arms after the loading is complete. The tank will be kept under
nitrogen blanketing. Methanol Re‐injection pumps (20-P3403A/B) are provided for pumping the
Methanol collected in the Methanol berth drain tank back to the ships during the next transfer of
Methanol to ships.

Spillages and contaminated Methanol are contained in a sump at the jetty area, which is emptied
as required by vacuum tanker and returned to the Methanol plant rerun tank for reprocessing.

Refer to the Process Schematic Figure-5 below for easy understanding of the existing facilities.

2.2 Description of Proposed Modification

The existing Methanol storage tanks and Methanol transfer pumps for pumping the product to
ship loading area (jetty) remains the same.

Since the location of jetty is changed, the routing of the existing Methanol piping from pump
discharge (downstream of metering skid) is required to be changed. The new jetty is around 5
km away from OQ Methanol plant. Based on hydraulic analysis, pipe routing options A has been
selected. This routing option is applicable for routing the new Methanol line from Methanol
Loading Pump Discharge upto the battery limit of OQ Methanol plant. After that the pipeline
moves over to Piping service corridor (Central Service Corridor – CSC) which is in proximity of
Methanol plant. Methanol line will then be routed via CSC to Berth 34 in Port of Salalah at new
jetty area.

Temporary scraper launcher and receiver will be utilised for cleaning the Methanol line during
pre-commissioning.

Similar to existing jetty, a new Methanol berth drain tank (20-TK3404) will need to be provided
at the new berth 34 to collect the Methanol that will be drained from the loading arms after the
loading is complete. The tank will be kept under nitrogen blanketing. Also, in line with existing
operating philosophy, new Methanol Re‐injection pumps (20-P3404A/B) will need to be provided
for pumping the Methanol collected in the Methanol berth drain tank back to Methanol storage
tanks (20-TK3401 B/C) against Methanol storage tanks static head & line frictional losses. This
can be achieved by using the new common recirculation valve (20-FV34001), on discharge line
of Pumps P-3401A/B/C. The 3’’ Manual bypass valve, across the flow control valve station, will
be kept open to facilitate the transfer.

Similar to existing jetty operation, spillages and contaminated Methanol will be contained in a
new sump provided at the new jetty area, which is emptied as required by vacuum tanker and
returned to the Methanol plant rerun tank for reprocessing.

4.1.2.2 Steady State Hydraulics

Steady State hydraulic analysis will be performed using PIPESIM to arrive at back pressure
values at methanol pump discharge for below cases.

1. Case 1:
o It is considered that methanol is pumped through the proposed Piping to New Jetty
via Option A of pipe routing within the Methanol plant.
o Hydraulics will be carried out for this with consideration of battery limit pressure at
loading arm inlet as 3.0 barg. Hydraulics consider 2 methanol transfer pumps & 3
loading arms at new jetty are operating.
o The Piping sizes of 30”, 32” & 36” will be considered for steady state hydraulic
analysis.
o Piping size will be optimized based on pressure drop, velocity, pumping pressure
required for design flowrate.
2. Case 2:
o It is considered that methanol is pumped through the proposed Piping to New Jetty
via Option B of pipe routing within the Methanol plant.
o Hydraulics will be carried out for this with consideration of battery limit pressure at
loading arm inlet as 3.0 barg. Hydraulics consider 2 methanol transfer pumps & 3
loading arms at new jetty are operating.
o The Piping sizes of 28”, 30” & 36” will be considered for steady state hydraulic
analysis.
o Piping size will be optimized based on pressure drop, velocity, pumping pressure
required for design flowrate.

PROJECT DESIGN BASIS

Based on results of steady state hydraulic results pipe line size will be selected & suitable
pipe routing option A or option B (within plant) will be recommended. However selection of
pipe routing option A or option B (within plant) shall be further done based on
constructability aspects and cost.

4.1.2.3 Transient (Surge) Analysis

Based on pipeline size selected from steady state analysis will be used for Transient (surge)
analysis. Transient (surge) analysis will be performed using TL Net (Version 3.6.1.0) for various
cases mainly to establish the surge pressure for various cases across the route of pipeline. It
shall be noted that vendor details for upstream methanol transfer pumps (located at methanol
plant) will be used for this study. Transient cases as per below are considered:

Case 1 Closure of all 3 nos. on/off valves (18" size on each loading arm) at Jetty, while pump is
running. Closing time 138 Sec. based on data valve sheet.

Case 2 Closing of Emergency Release Valve (at loading arm end) during emergency release
activation at Ship loading, while pump is running. Closing time 3 Sec. based on SMC
information.

Case 3 Start of both Methanol Transfer Pumps

Case 4 Trip of both Methanol Transfer Pumps

Case 5 Start of third pump inadvertently when two pumps are already running

Case 6 Tripping of one pump when two pumps are in service and simultaneously start of standby
pump

Below are the important considerations assumed for transient analysis based on operating
manual for loading arm (Reference 3, page 21 of 35)

 Faster closing of ESD in the ship (This case is not considered for system design)
- When a ship is landing near jetty, operator shall check the connections in the
ship and if there is ESD to the ship, this ESD shall be de-energized and
inactivated before loading Methanol in the ship.
- It shall be noted that if ESD in the ship is energized and is acting during loading
to ship, surging pressure may affect to Methanol transfer line due to the pressure
that is higher than its hydrostatic test pressure.

4.1.2.4 Line Sizing Criteria

The velocity criteria is as follows:

 The normal range of flow velocities is 1 to 2 m/s in liquid lines and continuous operations
above 4 m/s for liquids shall be avoided, as it may lead to erosion and vibration
difficulties. This is recommended as per PDO Standards SP-1211 for pipelines carrying
liquids.

The back-pressure criteria is as follows:

 Pipeline is intended to be within 150# class rating with design pressure of 18.24 barg
same as of that of the existing.

PROJECT DESIGN BASIS

 The pipeline shall be sized such that surge pressures are below existing design
pressure of loading arms i.e. 12.5 barg

 The pipeline shall be sized such that surge pressures will not trigger the system for
overpressure protection (RV set at 12.5 barg) at pumping facility.

 Regarding pressure drop per 100 m, as per piping General DEP 31.38.01.11, pump
discharge piping should be based on a pressure drop of 0.15 bar/100 m to 0.627 bar/100
m.

However this is applicable for piping and system under consideration is a long distance pipeline,
velocity and overall pressure drop will govern the hydraulics.

For hydraulics results, conclusion and recommendations, refer “Steady State Hydraulics &
Transient Analysis (Surge) Report” document (Doc. No. 50-551-MEL-PRO-HYR-001).

4.4 Process Philosophies

The following sub sections depicts the operating philosophies for proposed modification to
methanol loading system.

4.4.1.1 Operating, Control & Safeguarding Philosophy

• Since there is only change in the physical location of the Jetty, all other operation related
aspects remains same after modification. Hence existing operating, control and
safeguarding philosophy will be followed.
• The operator at the jetty should closely monitor/ liaise with the operator/crew on the ship,
control room operator at SMC Plant to ensure safe loading of methanol to the ships.
• New Methanol loading facility is provided in Salalah Port in berth No. 34. There will be
three loading arms with hydraulic operation. The arms are operated either with pendant
or radio operation. The drainage system of arms and header is also provided with transfer
facility of drained liquid back to methanol storage tanks within SMC plant, which is
identical to the existing. The arms are provided with safety in any case the ship movement
is more than the design to disengage the arm on auto with no spillage of the Methanol
and No damage of the loading arm and its system. The Marine loading arm is mainly
operated by the radio remote control. As a backup control, a pendant in the hydraulic
station is available.
• Motor operated valves will be provided upstream of individual loading arms (similar to
exiting system) with remote operation facility to enable the control room operator to take
the individual loading arm in service and to isolate it through DCS. The MOV is provided
with open and close limit switches for open/ close indication in the control room.
• All valves on the new Piping and allied piping will be manually operated and all
instrumentations are field mounted.
• In line with existing system, as part of safeguarding, thermal relief valve will be provided
on methanol piping wherever required.
• In line with existing system, as part of safeguarding, against surge pressure, the new
Piping and loading arm shall be fully rated. This shall be applicable for all cases of surge
analysis.

12. TECHNICAL SAFETY

The Technical Safety design objectives for the project are to:

 Develop a design and engineering solution taking into considerations of all HSE
requirements adopted by SMC and industry standards;
 Apply a documented risk assessment process to identify and evaluate potential HSE
hazards;
 Identify and assess all risks using recognised tools and methodology and identify the
acceptability of such risks and give recommendation for risk reduction and safeguarding.
The first objective is attained by ensuring that all project personnel are following the relevant SMC
standard, international standards, and normal engineering practice, including quality checks and
document review, as well as the SMC HSE policy.

Additionally, Technical Safety representatives shall attend other workshops, such as HAZOP and
Design Review to ensure that full account of safety related matters is taken into account during the
design process.
Specific activities and deliverables related to Technical Safety are outline below, with appropriate
detail.

12.1 Fire Fighting Equipment Specification

As agreed in Bid bulletin, the firewater scope is providing hydrant, elevated foam monitors, deluge
spray system for drain berth tank and pump, and portable fire extinguishers at the new loading area
considering tie-in to the existing port firewater water system. Firewater demand is considered as
identical with existing jetty since this project is only relocating loading arm to the new loading area.

Specification of firewater monitor, deluge valve and hydrant and hose box will be prepared for newly
relocated jetty area.

12.2 Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)

A QRA study will be conducted for the SMC Methanol Export Line to New liquid Jetty Project. QRA
shall be carried out based on the SP-1258. The QRA shall be undertaken using the computer
modelling program, Shell Shepherd. The QRA study will determine overall risk levels of installation
compared to risk acceptance criteria and investigate the societal risk to surrounding facilities. It will
identify high risk areas and evaluate any relevant risk reduction measures.

QRA will be carried out using Shell Shepherd v.31 with following Battery Limit: Methanol ship
loading facility - loading pumps, metering station, export pipeline, loading arms, loading berth
facility, methanol drain tank near the loading pumps and methanol drain tank (slop tank) at the
berth.

12.3 Other HSE/TSE activities

The TSE/HSE will also support and advise on other related matters, as they arise during the project
scope and shall attend meetings related to such issues, as applicable.
