1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to document a consistent method to manage TPE in PDO
1.3 Objective
The objective of the controlling document is to ensure TPE in PDO is controlled, recorded and risk assessed prior to and during operation.
1.4 Distribution/Target Audience
This procedure shall be referenced by all Operational Assets in PDO, and all parties with the responsibilities for the suitability for use, supply or transfer of TPE to an operational facility.
1.5 Changes to the Document
Responsibility for the upkeep of the Document shall be with the Maintenance & Integrity Manager UOM, the Owner. Changes to this document shall only be authorised and approved by the Owner.
Users of the Document who identify inaccuracy or ambiguity can notify the Custodian or his/her delegate and request changes be initiated. The Requests shall be forwarded to the Custodian using the “User Feedback Page” provided in this Document.
The Document Owner and the Document Custodian should ensure review and re-verification of this procedure every 3 years.
1.6 Step-out Approval
This procedure is mandatory and shall be complied with at all times. Should compliance with the procedure be considered inappropriate or the intended activity cannot be effectively completed or safely performed, then step out approval must be obtained from the Asset Manager - using the PR-1001e – Operations Procedure Temporary Variance, prior to any changes or activities associated with the procedure being carried out.

3 Process Control of Temporary Equipment
3.1 Pre-Requisites for Installation / Use of TPE
The following requirements shall be required prior to installation / use of TPE on site.
Prior to deployment to site the TPE requires have been inspected, either as part of an ongoing inspection program or as part of pre-deployment, by an ‘approved inspection body’. The inspection report and evidence of rectification of any faults found will be made available to the contract holder or responsible supervisor.
When deploying the TPE to site the following documentation as a minimum shall be required;
A list of certificates detailing testing authorities approval for the TPE including expiry dates of test certificates;

Figure 1 – FCP Vs TPE Decision Tree
1. Equipment that is to be installed and maintained for a period greater than 12 months will not usually be considered as Temporary.
2. If the plant has been designed to accept the additional equipment in such a manner that the equipment will become part of the plant then it will not be considered Temporary.
3. If interfacing the equipment with the existing plant requires additions or modification to the plant, then it will not be considered temporary.
4. Equipment that is not to be kept onsite at the end of the working day shall not be considered as TPE (no necessity to register) but it shall still be required to carry the maintenance and inspection certification where appropriate.

The electrical insulation integrity shall comply with the requirements of current IEE Regulations;
All metal work is to be effectively electrically bonded together. Purpose bonds (6mm-2 minimum) stranded PVC covered cable are only required across insulated sections e.g., anti-vibration mounts. Elsewhere, fortuitous bonding via metal to metal contact is acceptable;
Two earthing terminals (size M12) shall be provided at diagonally opposite ends of the base frame. These is to be clearly identified and suitably mounted on the main frame of the units large enough to take both the welding earth lead (if appropriate) and the installation earth bonding cable;
If the unit is a welding set, the welding cables supplied are to conform to BS 638, Pt.4;
A certified spark arrester shall be provided for the exhaust system. Preference shall be given to the fitting of a `cyclonic' type as opposed to the `filter' type which requires considerably more maintenance;
An air inlet shutdown valve (Rig Saver), to prevent over speeding of the unit on gas ingestion, shall be fitted and its operation should be independent of the engine. This device is to be checked for operation at the pre-delivery checks and the cut-off speed recorded in the engine log-book;
An emergency stop shall be fitted, which must be easily accessible from outside the unit and suitably protected to prevent inadvertent operation. The operation of the emergency stop shall be verified at the pre-delivery checks and during hook-up on site;
NOTE: The battery ammeter charge/discharge State should be checked with the unit Stationary to ensure no leakage current Exists.
3. Diesel Engines for Use in Zone 2 Hazardous Areas
All temporary diesel engines for use in a Zone 2 area shall comply with the requirements of 2 above, and the following:
All plant shall be Zone 2 certified;
The maximum surface temperature is to be no greater than 250OC (or where
temperature class is specified, Class T3);
Fitted with an inlet flame arrester (flame trap);
The unit shall be attended at all times or fitted with a device which will automatically stop the machine on a change of site conditions;
An inlet shut-off valve which should automatically operate on;
- High exhaust gas temperature.
- Engine overspeed.
- High coolant temperature.
- Low lubricating oil pressure.
Fitted with an exhaust flame arrester (flame trap);
The starting system shall be non-electric, i.e. hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Spring coil inertia starters must be certified for hazardous areas.
Any ancillary electrical equipment e.g., gauges, to be appropriately certified for use in hazardous areas.

4. Cases Where Automatic Shutdown Should Not be Used
Where the diesel engine under consideration is that of a portable crane, fork lift truck, or a unit involved in critical Well Servicing activities, then no automatic shutdown due to a change of site status shall apply, thus allowing manual shutdown by the unit operator,
but the units must be continuously manned throughout these operations.
High exhaust temperature, low lubricating oil pressure and high coolant temperature should alarm only, allowing manual shutdown by the unit operator. This is to ensure that there is no direct unwanted interference during a critical operation. The overspeed shutdown, however, shall be automatic.
For critical Well Servicing operations, and with the prior agreement of the Production Coordinator, when a change of status occurs shutdown shall be instructed by the person in charge of the worksite, who must be in contact with the Control Room at all times.
NOTE: Typical critical operations where diesel plant is used in Well Operations include, but are not limited to, wireline winches, coiled tubing units, nitrogen converters and pumping units performing operations like acid jobs, sand fracs, sand clean-outs and circulating through coiled tubing.
