Developed a maintenance scheduling system with frequencies for maintenance of equipment during turn-around, total shutdowns and "anytime"
11
First total factory shutdown planned with the following key objectives as priority:
- Start-up modifications to be implemented on common facilities.- Control valves had to be checked for material failures.- ESD and DCS systems software had to be "cleaned" from obsolete
control function software loaded and logic software functions no longer used.
- Alarm and trip tests to be carried out according to procedure.This shutdown were completed successfully within planned time and started-up without delays. Other areas where valuable experience were gained and recognition given for outstanding work done to resolve critical problems were:
1. Control valve problems at high pressure steam (40bar)2. High vibrations on electric drive (11KV; 5.6 MW)3. Tight shutoff control valves with "o" leakage for boiler feed water Control.4. Control valves for high cycling service at 400ºC and hydrogen as Process gas.5. O-volt distribution in field and in local panels.6. Arc furnace and gas firing heaters, - protection and integrity upgrade To ensure safe operation of equipment.
Appointment: Gasloop Instrument and Electrical Divisional Superintendent.
Double the area of responsibility with total manpower of :2 Instrument Foremen2 Electrical Foremen15 Instrument artisans/technicians5 Electricians1 Lead technician
The new area consist of process units: gas reforming, air separation, LNG (liquid natural gas), plant and instrument air supply, "pig" receiving, NGL recovery, CO2 removal, PSA (Pressure swing absorption) for 99,5% hydrogen. The instrumentation and electrical field equipment, low voltage switch gear in substation, electrical and instrumentation interfacing systems, all relevant substations, a few system PLC's, etc. which form part of the mentioned process units, were added to our area of responsibility.Teams were re-focused on the following priority areas:
Gas reforming train 3 rebuild after incident during start-up. Reset of maintenance standards, retraining, and motivation of new team
of acceptable norm/standard.
12
Development of workshops and calibration facility upgrade. Critical problem areas that was responsible for more than 80% of plant
trips and production losses. Construction and commissioning of new cold box for the LNG plant.
(Supplied by Linde). Condensate top-up project; construction and commissioning of additional
instrument and electrical equipment. Responsible for compiling budgets, motivation for manpower
requirements, sorting out of employee related issues, maintenance of running plants as well as support for projects, all to ensure medium and long term continuous maintenance improvements.
Additional responsibilities and project involvement:
Responsible for Instrumentation activities during construction, commissioning and start-up of LAK & LAD plant (U32-Light aromatic kerosene and Light aromatic diesel). Date: From February 2003 until April 2003 when unit was brought on line and performance tests done.
Participate with model reviews (90%) done by Technip-Coflexip as engineering contractor, Technical bid clarifications for E & I Equipment and many other technical issues and decisions on new GTL project. (U09 and U08-CO2 removal unit). Date: Since September 2002 - 08/2003 .
I would like to share a few critical problem areas were intensive re-engineering and improvements were implemented to improve online availability and reduce the risk of possible damage to equipment or a fatal incident. (Personal and team involvement was high during these upgrade exercises).
Gas reforming – improvement to primary reformer fuel gas control and trip system.
Gas reforming – steam turbine speed control, control sluggish and had to be upgrade with a electronic process control system. Investigation with design completed. Awaiting capital approval.
LNG (liquid natural gas) plant – control system upgrade & replacement of digital field switch instrumentation with analog type were the two main area's of improvement around the vaporizer units (25% and 75% units). Additional information via ESD and DCS communication to COS (control operator station) were established. Additional fuel gas pressure control stations were installed for improved stability without affecting one another.
Air separation – replacement of old hydraulic systems. This modification included valve feedback transducers, electronic/hydraulic transducers, etc.
Air separation – additional protection on 1st stage of air compressor anti surge. These were done by additional differential pressure measurement
13
across compressor 1st stage and add to anti – surge controller as an input for surge detection and control. Additional protection by means of a dedicated surge protector, was also installed, tested and commissioned.
Air separation – upgrade of on-line vibration monitoring system with data manager 2000 from Bently Nevada. System proof to be useful for collecting information for planning of inspection or maintenance of rotating equipment and also to determine the severity of a surge.
Air Separation – replace relay logic system with suitable programmable logic controller system. Biggest advantage to this change is real time information available for problem solving, monitoring and recording.
Air separation – upgrade of electric control actuators with improved electronic control units for improved accuracy and reliability.
Air Separation – action initiated to identify and make critical control valve spares available as stock. Most of these valves are dedicated valves only in use at the Air Separation plant.
Air Separation – upgrade to LIN and LOX back-up system which will start supplying when header pressure fall below a critical pressure. Various changes to control valves and system software were implemented to improve back-up control without causing upsets to header pressure.
High cost item areas were identified and corrective actions carried out i.e control valves upgraded or replaced, compressor trip system redesigned and installed after wrong design philosophy been adopted and implemented during the engineering phase, etc.
Synthol gunk plant – upgrade of level measuring instruments. Replaced capacitance type with radio active source, measuring instruments.
Synthol catalyst preparation plant – replaced obsolete dip coil regulator valves with proportional control valves and made adjustments to hydraulic pack to accommodate new regulators.
Gas and condensate metering plant – replaced "unsafe" and unreliable ESD relay system with triple redundant PLC and monitoring system. More information to process control was also of great significance.
"Smart" field instrumentation – detail investigation carried out to ensure that 'best practice' for installation of mentioned equipment will prevail. (Use of isolators in ex –areas and multiplexer equipment for digital data collection).
GENERAL
Plant Instrumentation and Electrical equipment availability was better than 99,7% of planned plant running for four (4) consecutive years.
Statutory plant Turn-around and total factory shutdowns were planned, carried out and successfully restarted without delays.
14
Direct personal involvement with the development of a generic career path for the development of junior artisans, senior artisans, technicians in training, technicians and senior technicians.
During the time with Mossgas and appointed as the responsible Engineer/Superintendent in control, we never had a serious incident to one of our permanent or temporary employees or a lost time incident. This achievement cans be ascribing to adhere to safety standards and the will to embark on programs of continues improvement, personal involvement and motivation of team members.
Personal experience and knowledge in the Instrumentation and Electrical field on all plant sections of Gas to Liquid manufacturing and final product Refining can be most probably my strongest skill asset.
I can also state that working with and within teams, my contribution to motivate, inspire teams, and also to earn respect from colleagues were always praised.
