    1. General

    The pipeway conveys all main process lines connecting distant pieces of equipment, relief and blowdown headers, all

    lines leaving and entering the plant, utility lines supplying steam, air, cooling water and inert gas to the plant. Electrical

    and instrument cable trays are usually routed in the pipeway. Pipeways are classified by their relative elevation to

    grade.

    1.1 Piperack

    Overhead piping supported on steel or concrete bents.

    1.2 PipetrackAbove ground piping supported on concrete sleepers at grade level. (Off site areas where equipment is well spaced

    out)

    1.3 Trenched Piping ( by Civil Department )

    Below ground piping laid in connection trenches. Costly and usually undesirable; unless trenches are wide, shallow and

    well vented, heavy gases may settle and crea

    te a fire hazard through the length of the trench. For these reasons, only pump out lines, chemical sewers or chemical

    drain collection systems are sometimes placed in trenches and routed to a pit or underground collection tank.

    1.4 Underground Piping ( by Civil Department )

    Piping direct buried below ground level. Due to costly maintenance and the usually corrosive nature of soil, this

    method of routing is generally reserved for sewer and drain lines. In some plants, especially in cold climates, cooling

    water lines are buried below the frostline. This should be determined at the beginning of a job, is generally a Client

    request.

    2. Information Required

    2.1 Job Specification

    Job specification SP....C100 contains design criteria, agreed between Company and Client, affecting piperack design:

    Battery limit, valving and spade requirements.

    Catwalk, platform and ladder access to valves and relief valves in piperack.

    Minimum headroom and clearances under overhead piping or supporting steel within areas

    Location of cooling water lines underground or above ground

    Trenched piping, if any.

    2.2 Process Flow Diagrams

    Process flow diagrams show main process lines and lines interconnecting process equipment.

    2.3 Engineering Flow Diagrams

    Engineering flow diagrams are developed from process flow diagrams and show:

    Pipe sizes. Pipe classes, and line number.

    Valving.Manifolding.

    All instrumentation.

    Equipment and lines requiring services, i.e. water steam, air, nitrogen etc.

    2.4 Utility Flow Diagrams

    Utility flow diagrams show the required services:

    Steam

    Condensate

    Water

    AirGas

    And any additional services peculiar to the plant being worked on, e.g.:

    Caustic

    Acid

    And refrigeration lines, etc.

    3. Evaluation of Information

    3.1 Initial EvaluationUse plot plan and process flow diagrams to make a preliminary assessment of which portion of process lines will be

    located in piperack and which lines will interconnect directly to nozzles on adjacent items of equipment. Draw lines to

    be located on piperacks on print of plot plan. Some idea of utility piping required must be established and included

    coordinate with Instrument and Electrical Section to assess what additional rack space may be required to

    accommodate cable trays. This action provides a preliminary visual idea of the piperack space required.

    3.2 Development

    With the receipt of engineering flow diagrams and utility flow diagrams, a more complete and accurate assessment of

    rack space is possible. Utility headers generally run the whole length of the piperack, so should be taken into account

    4/24

    when estimating additional space required. To assist Process Department in sizing utility headers in the pipeway a line

    routing on a repro of the plot plan, showing order of take-offs is required.

    4. Line Identification

    Certain types of piping require special consideration:

    4.1 Process Lines

    Lines interconnecting nozzles on process equipment more than 6M apart (closer speced equipment may be directly

    interconnecting inside piping areas).

    Products lines which run from vessels, exchangers or pump to battery / unit limits

    Crude or other charge lines entering the unit which run along piperack before connecting to process equipment,

    furnaces, exchangers, holding drums or booster pumps.

    4.2 Relief Headers

    Individual relief lines, blowdown lines and flare lines should be self draining from all relief valve outlets to knock-out

    drum, flare stack or to a point at the plant limit. To achieve this, lines will connect into the top of the header and at 45

    degrees in direction of flow. To eliminate pockets, and obtain required slope to knock-out drum some relief headers

    must be placed above the main piperack.

    4.3 Instrument and Electrical Cable Trays

    Often instrument and electrical cable trays are supported on the piperack track. Space must be allocated to

    accommodate them from the outset. Due to the possibility of induced current interference instrument and

    communication cable trays must be located away from electrical and power cable trays. Consult with Instrument

    /Electrical Department for separation requirements.

    5. Piperack Width

    The width of piperack is influenced by :

    The number of linesElectrical/instrument cable trays.

    Space for future lines.

    The width of a piperack may be calculated using the following method : First estimate number of lines as described.

    Add up the number of lines up to 18 diameter in the most dense section of the piperack.

    The total width in meters (W) will be :

    W = ( f x N x S ) + A meters

    Where f, safety factor = 1.5, if the lines have been laid out as described in initial evaluation.

    5/24

    Where f, safety factor = 1.2, if the lines have been laid out as described under development.

    N = number of lines below 18 diameter

    S = average estimated spacing between lines in millimeters.

    Usually - S = 300 mm

    Usually - S = 230 mm ( if lines in piperack are smaller than 10 )

    A = additional width required meters for :

    Lines larger than 18.Future lines.

    Instrument and electrical cable trays.

    Any slot for pump discharge lines 500 mm - 1 meter.

    The total width is thus obtained. If W is bigger than 9M usually two piperack levels will be required.

    Note : At the beginning of a job, `W` should usually include 30 - 40% of clear space for future lines.

    The width of the piperack may be increased or determined by the space requirement, and/or access to equipment

    arranged under the piperack.

    Below figure shows typical piperacks bents with tabulated dimensions. Total available piperack width of each type of

    support is included. This table can be used for selection. The most commonly used piperack supports are types 2, 3, 4

    and 5.

    5.1 Spacing between Piperack Bents

    Normal spacing between piperack bents varies between 4.6M to 6M.

    This may be increased to a maximum of 8M consideration must be given to :

    Smaller lines which must be supported more frequently ( see Company design specification recommended span

    between pipe supports )

    Liquid filled lines requiring shorter span than gas filled lines

    Hot lines which span shorter distances than cold lines of the same size and wall thicknessInsulated lines; small bore, cold - insulated lines due to weight of insulation must be supported at relatively short

    intervals

    Space requirements of equipment at grade can sometimes influence piperack bent spacing.

    6. Piperack Elevation

    Piperack elevation is determined by the highest requirement of the following :

    Headroom over main road

  • 7/27/2019 Http Www Red Bag Com Design Guides 208 Bn Dg c01b Plant Layout Pipeway Design HTML

    6/24

    Headroom for access to equipment under the piperack

    Headroom under lines interconnecting the piperack and equipment located outside.

    The size of steel or concrete beam supporting overhead piping must be taken into consideration. Headroom

    requirements for each job are detailed in Company specification no. C100 and coordination procedure.

    6.1 Elevation at Piperack Intersection

    Where two two-tier piperacks meet, it is essential that elevations of lateral piperacks slot between elevations of main

    piperack.

    Figure 2A illustrates this requirement. Choice of top elevation of lateral piperack midway between the top an bottommain piperack elevation allows turning up or down at the intersection.

    Generally, lines running at right angles to main piperack are assigned elevations 500 mm to 1 meter higher or lower

    (depending on headroom requirements) than lines running in main piperack. 500 mm differential between pipe runs is

    the absolute minimum.

    Figure 2B shows a piperack intersection where the respective main and lateral piperack elevations do not slot between

    each other. This design complicates routing of lines from piperack to the other, especially where lines run on the

    bottom levels of both piperacks. Avoid this design at all cost.

    Where a single tier piperack turns through 90, and all lines can be kept in the same sequence in both directions, no

    elevation difference is necessary. When lines sequence changes, introduce an elevation change at the turn. See below

    figures.

    7. Line Location in Piperacks

    7.1 One Tier Piperacks

    Below figure shows a cross section of a single level piperack. Heavy lines (very large diameter lines, large bore lines full

    of liquid) regardless of service are placed over or near the piperack columns. This simplifies steelwork or concrete

    piperack design. Centrally loaded column and reduced bending moment on the beam will result in a lighter overall

    design.

    Place process and relief lines next to these. Lines serving left hand areas of plant on left, lines serving right hand areason the right.

    The central piperack portion is reserved for utility lines which may serve both right and left hand areas on the plant.

    However, utility lines serving one or two pieces of equipment should be on the same side of the piperack as the

    equipment to which they connect.

    Process lines which interconnect equipment on both sides of the piperack should be placed close to utility lines, and

    can be on either side of piperack, depending upon location of equipment they serve. The position of product lines is

    influenced by their routing after leaving the unit, right, (left) turning lines should be on the right (left) hand side of the

    piperack.

    7/24

    If possible, a centrally placed section of the piperack is reserved for future lines. This section should run the whole

    length of the piperack. Should this be impracticable, a series of smaller sections, running the whole length of the

    piperack, are to be provided. (see below figure).

    7.2 Two Tier Piperacks

    Where the number of lines dictate the use of a two level piperack, utility lines are placed on the top level and process

    lines on the bottom level. This is not a rigid rule and where piping economy dictates certain process lines may be

    routed on the top level. Line sequence arrangement should follow the philosophy outlined previously.

    7.3 Position of Hot LinesIt is advantageous for pipe supports to group hot lines requiring expansion loops together, preferably on side of the

    piperack. Horizontally elevated loops over the piperack are commonly used to minimize the effects of expansion on

    hot lines, the hottest and largest line being on the outside. See below figures.

    7.4 Line Spacing

    For line spacing use recommended piperack spacing per table in Job Specification C100. It should be noted that in

    certain cases, it is necessary to deviate from the standards quoted above, e.g., see below figures at point A due to

    possible differential expansion line spacing may have to be increased to allow for movement of lines at start up.

    To determine expansion of hot lines, use Company engineering guide, Attachment thermal expansion of pipe

    materials.

    8. Piping Economy in Piperack and its Influence on Plant Layout

    8.1 Piperack Layout

    Plant layout determines the main piperack piping runs. The shape of piperack is the result of plant arrangements, site

    conditions, Clients requirements and overall plant economy. See below figures.

    Piping economy depends primarily on the length of lines routed in the piperack. Below figures shows critical dimensions

    which influence overall cost. These dimensions depend on overall plant layout and should be carefully considered when

    the plot is arranged.

    Dimension A, (see below figures) is the total length of piperack and is governed by the number and size of

    equipment, structures and buildings arranged along both sides of the piperack. On average, 3 meters of piperack

    length are required per item of process equipment, good lay-out can reduce piperack length. (Thereby costs).

    Equipment in pairs, stacked exchangers supported from towers, two vessels combined into one, closely located towers

    with common platforms, process equipment located - under piperack - are examples which help shorten piperack

    length. In a well arranged plant, average length of piperack per item of process equipment can be reduced to 2.1

    meters to 2.4 meters.

    Careful selection of dimensions B and C, below figure will minimize interconnection equipment on opposite sides of

    8/24

    piperack. C is normally no more than 1.8 meters to 3 meters.

    Dimensions D and E, (see below figure), minimize. Overgenerous dimensioning here will increase vertical pipe lengths.

    Maximize use of available platforms for access to valves. Where air fins are located above the piperack, use associated

    air fin maintenance platforms, modifying their extent if necessary. This method will be cheaper than adding special

    platforms in the piperack.

    9. Piperack General Arrangement Checklist

    Critically review piperack layout against latest information. Some lines should require rerouting for maximum pipingeconomy. Check loops required for nesting. As many loops as possible should be combined in a loop bay having due

    regard to stress requirements.

    9.1 Vibrating Lines

    Avoid changes in direction

    Avoid long overhanging bends without support

    Use bends where possible (check with job specification)

    Tees to be avoided as far as possible, flow should enter along run of tee and neverin the branch.

    Low point pockets to be avoided in the following lines :

    Steam (trap any pockets and dead ends)Slurry

    Blowdown (these lines must be self-draining)

    Caustic, acid and Phenol (all these services to be self draining)

    R.V.s both inlet and outlet

    Vapour to knock-out pots

    Heavy products, bitumen, wax

    Pump suctions

    Lethal and toxic substances

    High point pockets to be avoided in the following lines :

    Pump suctionsLight ends

    Vapour/liquid mixes (hot tower bottoms - reflux lines)

    Crude lines

    On hot lines, check shoe requirements and clearances at changes of direction (pipe expansion).

    Provide vents at high points.

    Provide drains at low points.

    Provide steam traps at : low points, up-stream of loops and dead ends, via condensate drip legs.

    9/24

    On steam, air and condensate headers, take-offs to be from top of headers. RV headers high or low elevation. Before

    finalizing elevation of RV header consider elevation of all RV discharges and elevation of knock-out drum at flare.

    Bends, if used : (check with job specification).

    Where lines change elevation bends may be used providing difference in elevation is adequate and specification

    permits

    Header take-offs in piperacks, use elbows

    Special piping:

    Catalyst lines 5D (minimum).

    Vibrating piping 5D.Small bore usually below 2 (Client preferred).

    Pipe setting: to be avoided in large bore lines. Small bore lines to be set only where absolutely necessary.

    Pipe Stress Department will advise which piping systems require formal stress analysis.

    Supports: avoid long unsupported overhangs.

    Steelwork clearances: check steelwork clearances for addition of fireproofing (lower elevation of piperack),

    brackets, gussets and thermal expansion of lines.

    Concrete support clearances: check for local thickening of concrete columns due to method of fabrication adopted

    (i.e. corbels).

    Valves: check clearances and accessibility. Make full of extending platforms for operation (i.e. air fin maintenance

    platforms).

    Chain wheels: preferably do not use. However, if necessary, check chain clearances. Spading and valving at battery

    limit : check for accessibility if necessary, provide access platform.

    10. Pipetracks

    This type of pipeway is generally associated with offsite areas where equipment is well spaced out, and land space is

    not a premium.10.1 Pipetrack Width

    Pipetrack width may be estimated using the method detailed previously for piperack.

    10.2 Spacing of Pipetrack Sleepers

    Pipetrack sleepers are relatively cheap thus piping economy is dictated by the recommended span of the smallest line

    in the track.

    Where small bore lines are few, sleeper spacing may be determined by the pipe span of large bore lines provided small

    bore lines are supported off the larger lines at adequate intervals. An angle with U bolts is sufficient (check with Pipe

    10/24

    Support Section).

    For recommended pipe support spans, use Company standard.

    On an average minimum span = 3 meters

    maximum span = 6 meters

    depending on line size and substance carried in pipes, (i.e. gas or liquid).

    All lines must be supported. At changes of direction due to long overhangs, for narrow pipetracks a diagonal corner

    sleeper is recommended. On wide pipetracks, use alternative method of two short sleepers located near corner. See

    below figures.

    10.3 Pipetrack Elevation

    Pipetrack elevation is set by maintenance access to piping items located underneath the pipetrack, i.e. drains and

    steam traps. A minimum of 12/300 mm clearance between underneath of lines and grade is recommended; where

    necessary, this may be increased to 18/450 mm.

    As pipetracks are generally single tier, no change in elevation is necessary at changes of direction. This is effected by

    use of a flat turn. See below figures.

    For individual line elevation above sleeper, use Company job specification no. C4 elevation of hot insulated lines.

    10.4 Line Location

    Line location with reference to bore and weight is unnecessary, as all pipes are supported on sleepers which rest

    directly on the ground. Line routing is all important. All lines interconnecting process equipment and/or storage tanks

    located on left-hand side of pipetrack are placed to the left-hand side. Similarly, all lines interconnecting equipment

    located on right-hand side of pipetrack are placed to the right of pipetrack. Lines interconnecting equipment located

    on either side of pipetrack are placed near the center of pipetrack.

    10.5 Line Spacing

    Use Company job specification no. C100 recommended pipetrack spacing

    10.6 Road Crossings

    The standard method is to provide culverts under access roads. Elevating piping on a cross-over rack is expensive and

    introduces unnecessary pockets in the lines thus routed. When determining width and height of culvert, care must be

    taken to allow sufficient room round the pipework for maintenance, insulation and painting. Where only one or two lines

    cross a road, crossing may be by means of sleeves set under roadway.

    10.7 Access Ways

    In areas needing frequent access, platforms may be provided across pipetrack.

    10.8 Valves

    11/24

    Where possible, these should be grouped at the edge of an access platform for ease of operation. Drain valves where

    possible should be brought to outside of pipetrack for ease of operation. The same applies to steam trap assemblies.

    10.9 Expansion Loops

    Horizontally elevated expansion loops above pipetrack should be provided where necessary. Group all hot lines

    requiring expansion loops, hottest and largest line on the outside, on one side of pipetrack. (Generally, the side chosen

    is that side which has the highest number of take-offs serving equipment on that side).

    11. Trenched Piping (Civil Department)In most plants, trenches are avoided due to problems associated with this type of pipeway:

    High initial cost

    Fire hazard

    Where trenchers are used to route lines such as:

    Pump out lines

    Chemical sewers

    Chemical drains

    Trenchers must be enough to allow sufficient clearance between trench wall and piping. 150 mm between outside of

    pipe and inside of wall is the minimum acceptable clearance. This will allow for installation of piping, painting and future

    maintenance. See below figures. Total width of trench required may be determined by using method detailed above.

    Piping Department will advise Civil Department of requirements.

    11.1 Line Spacing

    Use Company job specification C100. recommended piperack spacing.

    Line location in a trench carrying a number of lines should be carefully chosen for maximum piping economy

    consistent with stress requirements, if any.

    Open trenches require drains to stop accumulation of surface water. Trench bottom should be sloped towards drain

    points. In this case, pipe supporting is by means of angle steel or I beams set into the walls, allowing bottom for freedrainage to nearest drain point.

    This method allows drainage of a trench by a minimum of drain points between each pipe support as would be the

    case of solid concrete pipe supports built up from the trench. Before proceeding on trench drainage check with

    coordination procedure and Civil Department for water table level.

    11.2 Safety Precautions

    Most trenches have either a cover of concrete slabs or a grating.

    Where flammable liquids are carried in trenched lines, a fire break is provided at suitable intervals along a trench and

    at each intersection. This generally consists of two concrete walls 1 M - 1.25 M apart, with the space in between filled

    with sand. Where highly flammable gasses are carried, the whole trench, after installation of piping, is back filled with

    sand. Piping will advise Civil Department of requirements.

    12. Underground Piping (by Civil Department)

    Keep buried piping to a minimum. Generally only sewer drain lines and fire mains are located below ground. In some

    cases due to Client or climate requirements, cooling water lines are also buried below the frost line.

    With future maintenance in mind, buried lines should be located well clear of foundations, and if running side by side,well spaced out. A minimum of 300 mm clearance is necessary between foundations and lines and between the lines

    themselves.

    Above ground safe drain-tails will enter below ground drain line via a tundish (concentric reducer normally) or if a

    sealed system and cooling water lines by a flanged stub raised above ground.

    Flanged connections should be a minimum of 300 mm above prevalent grade level. It is advantageous to set a

    common level for all these take offs at the outset of the job. When locating tie-in connections to underground systems,

    especially from elevated drain points, and adjacent to equipment plinths, ensure adequate clearance.

    All buried steel pipes should have applied a corrosion resistant coating and wrapping.

    Deep valve boxes for buried lines should be designed with ample room inside the box for a maintenance man to bendover and use wrenches for tightening flanges of re-packing valves. Consideration should be given to the use of

    concrete pipe in lieu of square boxes.

    The criteria for a good underground piping design should be ease of maintenance. Piping should be so spaced as to

    allow easy digging out and replacement of faulty sections; for this reason, never run underground piping under or

    through foundations.
