side to the rack, close to access ways or roads.

Adequate space shall be provided for the handling and storage of catalyst.

Extra width platforms shall be provided on columns, which have packed

sections, columns that have tray sections or manways on columns or vessels
that are identified as requiring high maintenance activities. For the packed
sections the extra width shall only be identified on the platforms local to the
loading and dumping nozzles.

5.4 EXCHANGERS

Shell and tube exchangers shall be located to minimise piping runs and,
wherever practicable be grouped together perpendicular to the pipeway with
the channel end positioned away from the rack pipeways to facilitate tube
bundle removal. Generally exchangers will be located with their support
location closest to the rack aligned. Exchangers of a similar size in the same
process circuit in series may be located with their channel nozzles aligned.

Horizontal shell and tube exchangers, in similar services, may be placed one
above the other. The top exchangers centre line shall not exceed 5.5 metres
from grade unless mounted in a structure. The static head difference between
exchangers and the effect on flow splitting shall be considered.

For exchangers under drums or structures, the channel head shall be at least
1 metre beyond any obstruction for bundle pulling.

Reboilers shall be located as close as possible to equipment they serve and

elevated to suit process requirements, with good access for maintenance
requirements.

Wherever possible, tube bundle removal shall be by a tube bundle extractor,

supported during installation & operation by a mobile platform or a mobile

There will be no provision for routine maintenance or removal of cooler tube
bundles by mobile cranes. Permanent access for fan/motor maintenance will
be provided including unrestricted header box access. Air cooler motor shall
extend below head height providing they do not protude into walkways.

Air coolers in dirty service (Crude, Heavy Oils, Amine etc.) or air coolers that
require regular maintenance shall be provided with an extra width header box
platform, on one side only.

Location of air cooler shall consider the arrangement of overhead process

piping, the overhead lines shall be kept as short as possible. Balanced/
symmetrical flow into the air cooler may be required due to process reasons
refer to the P & ID. Consideration should be given to the configuration and
support of these systems.

5.6 FIRED HEATERS AND BOILERS

Fired heaters and boilers shall be located, with consideration to hazardous

area classifications, near plot boundary to faciliate firefighting and
maintenance access. Tube pulling shall generally be by mobile crane.
Adequate dropout and swinging space shall be provided.

Where practical and economical, fired equipment shall be grouped together

5.7 PIPEWAYS

Process piping shall be routed above ground and preferably overhead.

Overhead pipeways provide excellent separation between equipment and
generally run through the centre of an operating unit. They also are less
prone to external corrosion and can be inspected more easily.

Pipeways shall generally be overhead and sized, with consideration to pipe

spacing and spans. Once the initial space requirements are established, an
extra space allowance of 25% shall be allowed for development during
Detailed Engineering.

5.8 STORAGE TANKS

Bund wall height shall be 1 metre minimum for tanks with a nominal capacity
up to 10,000 cubic metres and 1.5 metres minimum for tanks with a nominal

overall bund area to be calculated on tank capacity.

Size, height and access into bunds shall conform to the Institute of Petroleum
Model Code of Safe Practice part 3 or part 9 and it is preferred that tanks
have at least one side adjacent to an access road. Bunded tanks shall have
vehicle accessways for maintenance if the capacity of the tank is over 5000m³
then two vehicle access ways shall be provided.

Tanks storing non-contaminated water shall not normally require bunding

containment of the total volume stored, unless spillage would seriously impact
the surrounding area affecting plant operations.

In bunded enclosures, the walls of the bund are to be of earth, steel, concrete
or solid masonry and be liquid tight to withstand a full hydrostatic head.

Kerb areas shall be provided around hazardous chemical storage so as to

minimise the impact of spillage on surrounding equipment and personnel

Every bunded or remote impounded area must have a 3 metre clear area
around the outside of the bund or remote impounded area and a 1.5 metre
clear area inside of any bund for fire-fighting access.

5.9 BUILDING SITING IN PROCESS PLANTS

Buildings and Control Rooms in process plant shall be analysed to determine

if the location and construction types are appropriate for potential hazards
from the process areas. Potential hazards include fire, toxic release and
Vapour Cloud Explosion (VCE). For new control rooms and buildings (at
facilities handling flammable or toxic materials), a hazard assessment shall be
undertaken to insure that the design requirements are sufficient to mitigate
potential hazards. This could include blast resistant design, protected
ventilation systems, or gas detectors.

Existing buildings at a facility shall also be reviewed to manage the

associated risk from the hazards in the plant. API’s ‘Recommended Practice
752 – Management of Hazards Associated with Location of Process Plant
Buildings’, provides a framework for conducting a Building Siting Assessment.
The location of the buildings involves close co-operation with Health, Safety
and Governmental Engineering, Control systems and Electrical, Architectural,
Client and Plant Layout.

10. MATERIALS

10.1 PIPING MATERIALS SPECIFICATION

The Specification for ‘Piping and Material Classes’ includes individual Service
Material Classes. It also indicates in detail, pipe, valve, flange, fittings, bolting,
gasket, branch connection and other specific material requirements for
various classes of fluid, temperature and pressure services.

10.2 WALL THICKNESS AND REINFORCEMENT

10.2.1 Wall Thickness and Branch Reinforcement

Wall thickness and branch connection reinforcement requirements

shown in the Piping Material Specification are satisfactory for the
most severe pressure-temperature conditions within the limits
indicated. Where mechanical loads increase stresses above those
due to internal or external pressure, appropriate reinforcements
shall be added as instructed by the stress engineer.

10.2.2 Branch Reinforcement

Branch reinforcement is based upon “limited” corrosion, where all

excess metal in pipe wall, other than required for pressure and
corrosion allowance, is credited to branch reinforcement.

NOTES FOR APPENDIX “A”, “B” AND “C” (Spacing Charts derived from Chevron standards and incorporating Design Institute Comments)

1. The plant outlines are the equipment lines (frequently called equipment setback or line-up lines) and should be clearly identified on all plot plans. Equipment lines are used to establish plant spacing.
2. The so-called plot limit lines (which usually delineate the near edge of adjacent roads) are not used to establish plant spacing.
3. The spacing between the near edge of a road bordering high or low-pressure plants and equipment set-back lines may be reduced to 1.5 metres. All roads closer than 7.5 metres to high or low pressure plants are
considered restricted roads.
4. Provide a 6 metre minimum vertical space between overhead air coolers and the top of pumps handling flammable or combustible liquids. Pumps shall not be located directly under air coolers.
5. The minimum distance from flares is determined by the radiation zone footprint requirements at grade. However, the minimum distance to equipment handling flammable fluids should not be less than 60 metres
(except equipment directly related to the system and normally located near base of stack).
6. Plot limit valves should be accessible from grade or from a raised platform. Platform should be accessible by stairway and not located over pipeway drainage channel.
7. Primary fire water pumps and spares should be 60 metres from process equipment when spaced together. Individual pumps 60 metres apart may be within 30 metres of the process units. The loss of any fire
pump should not reduce the capacity of the fire water system more than 50%.
8. If pipe trenches are used, spacings shown are to be trebled.
9. Note Deleted
10. Truck traffic to Tank Truck Loading Rack (TTLR) should not interfere with process plant traffic.
11. 90 metre spacing – Process to office is based on potential for explosions to shatter glass and wood and other construction materials susceptible to explosion and fire damage. Single offices for field supervisors
can be located in workshops or control buildings.
12. Pumps should be outside tank bundwalls and impounding basins.
13. Pumps operating over 316ºC shall be located at least 15m from Fired Heaters and furnaces, place pumps 1.5m apart and should be 3m from equipment handling other flammables so that a packing gland fire will
not expose adjacent equipment.
14. High flash product tanks may be closer to facilities and equipment. Crude oil stored in cone roof tanks require special consideration. See NFPA 30.Tanks containing non-flammable liquids shall be located to suit
their service requirements.
15. Spacing from property lines that can be built on:
• Residential Commercial = distance as shown
• Industrial Zone or Undeveloped Properties = ½ distance as shown
16. See Plant Spacing note 5.9 for information on control house spacing.
17. Incineration type vapour recovery units should meet the furnace spacing.
18. Electrical Substations shall be located 15 meters minimum from any source of hazardous release. (Kazakh Code requirement) When transformers and MCCs are located indoors.
19. Plant to Equipment or Equipment to Equipment spacing. (Refer to Appendix ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’).
Choose type of equipment on the diagonal and go down or across to the other type of equipment, Example: Spacing of Motor Control Center to Air Cooler.
Locate Motor Center on the Vertical ( Column 24)
Drop down column 24 to the row corresponding to Air Coolers (Row 29)
Where they intersect is the minimum spacing – in this case 15 metres.
