Introduction to NGL
12
Important definitions
  • Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases and
    acid gases with varying molecules and amount of
    impurities.
  • NGL is removal of certain components, such as
    dust, helium, water, and heavy hydrocarbons and
    then condensed into a liquid at close to
    atmospheric pressure.

HAZOP study and Process modification
30
Definition of HAZOP
  • An analysis of the hazards which could occur at
    step in the process, and a description and
    implementation of the measures to be taken for
    their control.
  • Invented by the BCI "British chemical industry"
    in the United Kingdom.
  • Officially adopted in 1974 after flixborough
    explosion.
  • This chemical plant explosion killed twenty eight
    people and injured scores of others
  • the public living nearby
  • Lack of a systematic review of the qualified
    personnel.

31
Benefits of using HAZOP techniques
  • easy to learn.
  • can be easily adapted to almost all industrial
    operations
  • No special level of academic qualification is
    required. 
  • The HAZOP Study is an opportunity to correct
    these before such changes become too expensive,
    or 'impossible' to accomplish.
  • HAZOP methodology is perhaps the most widely used
    aid to loss prevention.

32

33
HAZOP Analysis
3. Subdivide the system or activity and develop
deviations
2. Define the problems of interest for the
analysis
1. Define the system or activity
2.0 Define the problems of interest for the
analysis
1.0 Define the system or activity
5. Use the results in decision making
4. Conduct HAZOP reviews
34
Process Modification
  • Studying the special concern of these conditions
    are important to provide conditions that allow
    effective process performance.

Economic evaluation
38
Introduction to equipments cost
  • Cost Estimation
  • Cost estimation models are mathematical
    algorithms or parametric equations used to
    determine the costs of plant.
  • The results of the models are typically necessary
    to measure approval to proceed, and are factored
    into business plans, budgets, and other financial
    planning and tracking mechanisms.

39
Total module and Grass root cost
  • Total module cost can be evaluated from
  • And Grass root cost can be evaluated from

Cost estimation for distillation column
  • Cost equations for tower and trays.
  • Volume p D2 L / 4
  • Area for trays V / L

44
Raw material Cost
  • The cost of raw materials can be estimated by
    using the current price listed in such
    publications as the Chemical Market Reporter
    (CMR).

45
Labor Operating Cost
The technique used to estimate operating labor
requirements is based on data obtained from five
chemical companies and correlated by Alkayat and
Gerrard.

Utilities Cost (CuT)
  • Specific difficulties emerge when estimating the
    cost of fuel like electricity, stream and thermal
    fluid.
  • Costs of utility streams required by process
    includes
  • Fuel gas, oil and coal.
  • Electric power.
  • Stream.
  • Cooling water.
  • Process water.
  • Boiler feed water.
  • Instrument air.
  • Inert gas.
  • Refrigeration.

Plant Layout
  • It is necessary to make a preliminary study on
    the layout of the plant equipments.

51
Layout depending factor
  • Main rooms as control room and offices should sit
    away from areas that have high accident risk and
    upstream of the current winds.
  • Reactors, boilers, etc., Should build up
  • away from the chemical storage tanks.
  • Storage tanks should be easy access and choice on
    whether all tanks (of raw materials and products)
    should be located together or dispersed
    throughout the site

52
  • Availability of plant requirement.
  • Minimizing plant piping systems.
  • Suitable access to equipment that usual require
    maintenance or repair and keep a space between
    equbments.
  • Access to the plant in the case of an accident.
  • Availability of source of cooling place for
    equipments need cooling water close.

53
The aim of minimizing the layout of plant
equipment
  • avoid damage to persons and property due to fire
    or explosion.
  • decrease Maintenance costs.
  • reduce number of worker in the plant.
  • decrease operating costs.
  • reduce construction costs.
  • Reduce cost of expansion or modifications on
    plant.

54
Piping and Instrumental Diagram (PID) Designs
  • The piping and instrumentation diagram (PID)
    provides information need by engineers to begin
    planning for the construction of the plant.
  • Mechanical engineers and civil engineers will
    design and install pieces of equipment.
  • Instrument engineers will specify, install and
    check control system.
  • Piping engineers will develop plant layout and
    elevation drawings.
  • Project engineers will develop plant and
    construction schedules.

55
Conventions in constructing PD diagram
  • For equipments, show every piece including spare
    units, parallel units and summary details of each
    unit.
  • For piping, include all lines including drains,
    sample connections and specify size, schedule,
    materials of construction and insulation.
  • For instruments, identify indicators, recorders,
    controllers and show instrument line.
  • For utilities, identify entrance utilities, exist
    utilities and exist to waste treatment
    facilities.
