1. PREFACE
This manual has been compiled to assist those charged with the responsibility of the
initial start-up and subsequent operation of New 12500 MT Ammonia Storage System,
for Coromandel International Limited at Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.
The primary objective in the preparation of this manual is to provide flow descriptions
and details of the processes involved with related operating principles, suggested
procedures for initial commissioning, start-up and shutdown of the plant. The contents
should be regarded as a source of information in resolving operating problems and are
not a substitute for the experience of skilled operating personnel.
It is not possible to anticipate and present all potential situations which may confront
the operator during the commissioning, start-up, normal and emergency shutdown of
the system. Consequently, this manual must be recognized as a guide and the
conditions incorporated are not rigid standards, unless specifically noted as such. The
operating skills and techniques shall be developed and improvised from actual
operating experiences. All operations shall strictly comply with safety requirements and
practices followed throughout the industry.
Therefore it is of great importance that the operator should have a full understanding
with functions, systems and layout of the process plant equipment to cope with each
and every situation. It should also be taken into consideration that the methods, data
and operating conditions described in this instruction may well have a necessity to be
appropriately amended under abnormal operating conditions or emergency situations.
Section 4 contains a suggested procedure for conditioning all process equipment in the
preparation for initial start-up. Hydro testing, flushing and purging procedures which are
a part of system conditioning, are also explained in this section. The Equipment
Specification and vendor instruction manuals are an additional source of information
which should be referred to.
Section 5 contains a recommended starting procedure for the initial start-up and
subsequent operation of the system.
Section 8 contains description of safety features incorporated in the system. The latter
half of this section also describes safety precautions in the handling of anhydrous
ammonia.
This paragraph provides a brief description of the system for the storage of anhydrous
ammonia.
There are three numbers of existing Ammonia Storage Tanks. Two tanks are of 5,000
MT capacity (10-T-01A/B) and one is 10,000 MT capacity (20-T-01) to store liquid
ammonia at a temperature of -33 degree Celsius, at near atmospheric pressure.
Another 4th new tank (30-T-01) with a storage capacity of 12,500 MT with two Ammonia
Transfer Pumps (30-P-01 A/B) of capacity 47.8 m3/h have been added to the system.
The pressure in the tanks is maintained by new Ammonia Refrigeration system
comprises of two oil lubricated screw compressors (30-K-01A/B) of suction capacity
1506 kg/hr, Ammonia condensers (30-E-01 A/B), Economizer (30-E-02) and Ammonia
Receiver (30-D-01) . New Cooling tower (30-U-01) of capacity 843 TR with Cooling
water pumps (30-P-02 A/B) are added for new Refrigeration system.
Existing plant have facility to receive ammonia from the ship and also have the facility
to transfer liquid ammonia to the DAP plant.
Liquid ammonia will be unloaded from the ship into the Ammonia Storage Tanks
through an insulated pipeline, at a rate of 550 MT/hr, temperature of (-) 31.8 0C and
pressure of 5~7 kg/cm2g. The vapour generated by flashing ammonia from these
conditions to the operating conditions of the Ammonia Storage Tanks will be sent to the
Ammonia Refrigeration System for re-liquefaction. The Re-liquefied ammonia will then
flow back to the Ammonia Storage Tanks. Liquid ammonia from the Ammonia Storage
Tanks will be pumped to the DAP plant.
The process described in this manual is for new 12,500 MT Ammonia Storage System.
For operation of the existing Ammonia Storage System the existing manuals should be
referred.

2.1.1 Pre-cooling:
Due to heat ingress from the surroundings the temperature of the ammonia ship
unloading line increases. The increase in temperature is proportional to the time
available between two ship unloading operations. Heat ingress depends on the
ambient temperature, and the thermal conductivity of the insulation. Pre-cooling of the
ammonia unloading-line is necessary to prevent metal stress due to achieve the
desired unloading rate of 550 MT/hr during ship unloading.
The pre-cooling operation is one of the requirements prior to the ship unloading
operation. Commencement of the ship unloading operation is ensured by the
necessary operating instructions for the source point and the destination point of the
ammonia unloading line.
Cold ammonia delivered from the ship is pumped by the ship’s pump from the jetty to
the Ammonia Storage Tank. The additional vapour generated is principally due to
flashing of ammonia liquid, which in turn is due to difference in temperature between
the delivered ammonia and the ammonia in the Ammonia Storage Tank. This vapour is
drawn into the Ammonia Refrigeration System, where it is compressed, liquefied and
returned to the Ammonia Storage Tank.
The heat leak into the various systems and a part of pumping work eventually ends up
in terms of vapour formation and subsequently rise in ammonia storage tank pressure.
The pressure in the tank is maintained by the Ammonia Refrigeration Compressors, the
detail of which is explained in the subsequent sub-section. The rise in the tank
pressure is due to the following:
The Ammonia Refrigeration System is designed for the above vapour loads.
Of the above, items 4, 5 and 7 constitute the holding load. During holding operation,
one of the compressors is in operation. This compressor shall maintain the pressure of
the Ammonia Storage Tanks.
I. Type of Tank
The Ammonia Storage Tank is operated at atmospheric pressure. The tank is a double
integrity cup-in tank construction with a domed roof for the outer tank. Liquid ammonia
from the refrigeration system is sprayed into the tank. Since, both the inner and outer
tanks are designed for the same conditions, in case of failure of the inner tank, the
outer tank acts as a perfect secondary containment chamber, confining the inner tank
contents in the outer tank. The advantages of this design are as follows:
ii. Better controllability of tank pressure due to the increased vapour space,
available in annular space between the inner tank and the outer tank.
The foundations of the tanks are designed to prevent any differential settlement of the
tank. Also, the foundations are designed for water filling load which will occur during
hydrotesting. The foundation is raised by about one meter, to allow free circulation air
beneath the foundation.
The bottoms of the inner and outer tank are independent. The two tank bottoms are
separated by a 100 mm layer of concrete pad. 25 mm thick sand layer & 102 mm thick
two layers of closed pore cellular glass is laid between the outer tank bottom and the
concrete foundation, to conserve cold. The outer ring of insulation, on which the inner
and outer shells rest, is of perlite concrete, which is also a good insulation material.
The insulation used for the shell is polyurethane, foamed in situ. The in situ application
eliminates any gaps in the insulation and leads to a more uniform insulating layer.
V. Roof Insulation
The insulating material used for the roof is glass wool. In this design, a deck of glass
wool is suspended just above the cylindrical shell of the tank and covers both, inner
and outer tanks. Necessary openings are provided in the deck for introducing nozzles
and pipes into the tank. The superheated vapour in the domed section is left relatively
undisturbed and forms an additional insulation blanket. The suspended deck eliminates
superheating of ammonia vapour from the roof and thereby reduces the compressor
load.
The ammonia storage tank is equipped with pressure safety valves to safeguard the
tank against over pressure. The sizing criteria is that even when one safety valve is
taken out for maintenance, safety of the storage tank is not compromised, as each
safety valve is sized for 100% capacity. Safety valve is sized for rise in tank pressure,
due to external fire case. Isolation valves for safety valves are provided with
mechanical interlock.
The tank is provided with vacuum relief valves to protect the tank from vacuum. This
valve is sized for most severe of cases leading to drop in tank pressure, which could be
due to following combine conditions.
The sizing criteria is that even when one vacuum relief valve is taken for maintenance,
the safety of the tank is not compromised, as each valve is sized for 100% capacity.
In addition to the safety valves, the tank is also provided with a pressure control valve
to vent the tank content in case of over pressure sensed by pressure transmitter PT-
30204.
The tank is provided with instruments for measurement, monitoring and control of
pressure, temperature and level. Level indication is obtained by two different types of
instruments to ensure redundancy. Additionally, a level transmitter is also installed in
the annular space, which, in normal operation should read zero. Also a level differential
transmitter is provided between inner tank and annular space.
Centrifugal vertical barrel type ammonia transfer pumps having capacity of 47.8 m3/hr
and discharge pressure of 25.5 kg/cm2g are provided for transferring liquid ammonia
from the ammonia storage tank to the DAP plant. Both operating and stand by pump
are identical and have a common suction and a discharge header. Each pump is
provided with an auto re-circulation control valve (ARC valve) to ensure that the pump
does not operate below its minimum flow capacity. When operating at low capacity in
the minimum flow valve re-circulates a part of the pumped liquid back to the tank thus
meeting the minimum flow requirement of the pump. Provision of piping ensures
efficient venting at the pump casing, suction and discharge, back to the vapour space
of the Ammonia Storage Tank to enable fast priming of pump and to avoid undue delay
during the starting of the pump.
water and its function is to remove superheat and latent heat from the ammonia vapour
at the condensing temperature to liquefy the ammonia. Ammonia liquid in saturated
condition is then collected in Ammonia Receiver (30-D-01).
The temperature of saturated liquid ammonia available at the tube-side outlet is further
reduced to match ammonia storage tank conditions. This is achieved by flashing the
saturated liquid ammonia across a control valve (LV-30304).
basin level. Cooling water dosing system (Existing) is used to ensure that cooling water
quality is maintained.
Side Stream Filter (30-U-02) is used to remove suspended solids from the cooling
water system. Its capacity is 8.5 m3/hr. After a certain period of time, when the
pressure drop across the filter increases due to accumulation of sediment of
suspended solids in the cooling water, the Side Stream Filter under goes back-wash
and the water outlet resultant from the back wash is led into storm water drain.
2.4.5 Nitrogen:
Nitrogen gas is used for purging of Ammonia transfer pumps. Nitrogen gas is supplied
at B/L in cylinders by Coromandel.
2.4.6Flare System:
Existing flare system is used for new 12,500 MT Ammonia storage systems.
Flare system is required to facilitate the burning of ammonia vapour during the
following emergency situations:

4. SYSTEM CONDITIONING:
Introduction
This section covers the tasks of cleaning, testing and preparation of the system for
service. The procedures described are carried out as a whole only once, at the
completion of the construction and before initial operation of the system, but
appropriate phases should be repeated after any major repair, alteration or
replacement.
The ensuing discussion of conditioning is, for the most part, general in nature and does
not attempt to establish the order in which the work will be done. The best options are
determined in the field with due regard to the status of construction and the available
utilities.
Detailed blowing and flushing procedures are also best done in the field where piping
configuration as well as mechanical constraints involved at certain points may be
observed and considered.
Hydrostatic tests are made on new or repaired equipment and piping to prove the
strength of materials and welds. They are conducted by filling the equipment involved
with water and building pressure with a portable test pump. These tests are not to be
confused with others, made in different ways and at less severe conditions, which may
be imposed on assembled sections of the unit before each start-up, to check the
tightness of bolted and screwed connections.
obtained from the proper source. This pressure is the highest to which the item may be
subjected under any circumstances, and must never be exceeded. Before testing a line
it is necessary to blind off any connection having lower test pressure than that of the
line being tested.
Lines and equipment which are tested with media other than water must be isolated
when connected to system under hydrostatic pressure.
Instrument piping is to be disconnected from the instruments, but the piping including
manifolds, is to be tested at the same pressure as the line to which it is connected.
It should be noted that stainless steel lines and equipment should not be contacted with
water containing more than 10 ppm chloride.
Flow velocities during line blowing should be greater than normal operation flows,
approximately 125%, to the extent possible. If the pressure in the piping being blown is
maintained lower than normal operating pressure, greater velocities can be achieved
using less blowing medium.
All systems should be flushed or blown with “flushing media”, admitted via temporary
hose or pipe connections. Examples of flushing media are as follows:
Systems that are not normally flushed with their normal media include:
In any system, to the extent possible, flushing media flow outlets should be at the
lowest points. The low point outlets will usually be temporary openings made by
disconnecting flanges or fittings; normal drains may be used for flush outlets provided
they are equal to or nearly close to the line size.
For optimum results, there should be no restriction at the outlet or any other point in a
line undergoing cleaning. However, if the need is to throttle the flushing flow then it has
to be done at the supply end. Effective scouring of lines is possible at higher flushing
velocities. With a limited supply of flushing medium, flushing should be avoided through
too many openings or circuits simultaneously. Flushing should be done through all
vents, drains, side connections, main channels as well as bypasses. Flushing debris
into nozzles or small bore lines where trapping can occur, it should be avoided.
Flushing should be planned so that main headers are flushed first. Branch lines and
side connections should be flushed individually after main header flushing is complete.
All control valves should be removed or rolled out until the foreign material has been
removed from their systems. Finally, the valve should be replaced and flushing should
be through the valve in normal alignment, or bypass, if the valve cannot be opened.
Short spools can be installed in place of control valves to facilitate the flushing
procedures.
All connections at pumps, compressors and drivers must be blinded while the lines
running to them are thoroughly flushed. This applies to the discharge lines. The
flushing or blowing outlet should be at some convenient point or as near to the pump or
driver as possible. Generally, it is necessary to disconnect a flange or fitting. When this
is done on the pump or compressor side of the block valve, the open connection should
be covered to prevent the entry of debris.
All connections to instruments should be isolated during flushing. Instrument air lines
must be blown with special thoroughness with clean, dry air.
After the flushing, the normal piping configuration should be restored. Check valve
flappers and/or cover plates should be replaced. Lines which need further cleaning
during the start-up of pumps need not be restored completely at this time. All flanges or
connections not made up must be covered to prevent any entry of debris. Water should
be drained from all systems at the completion of flushing. During draining, to avoid
vacuum on the piping or equipment, high point vents should be kept open. All vessels
should be thoroughly cleaned internally. All normal piping at pumps, compressors and
heat exchangers should be reconnected. All control valves should be reinstalled and all
instrumentation systems should be restored to normal operating configuration.
New gaskets should be used in all flanged connections. Reuse of old gaskets will result
in leaks and costly time delays when the systems are tested for tightness.
Special care should be taken for re-installation of flow elements, control valves and
check valves which were removed for flushing. Installation procedures should be based
on the direction of normal flow in the line.
The basic utility systems, water, nitrogen and air should be put in normal working order
after they have been cleaned, so that supplies will be made available for further
flushing and commissioning procedures.
The leak test is a very important work item in plant components in which the fluids are
inflammable or toxic. Hence, the leak test must be done as carefully as possible in
order to avoid fire or explosion hazard. This leak test can be done after pressure test of
each test and flushing work. The leak test of each section will be performed with air or
nitrogen at a pressure of 5 kg/cm2g or at design pressure of that section whichever is
smaller. Test is performed using soapsuds while blocking each pressurized section.
This test shall be repeated till there is no sign of bubble formation.
d. Confirm that test pressure shall not exceed the set pressure of safety valve or
design pressure of the equipment.
f. Confirm that all drain valves and vent valves on the process lines are closed.
B. Steps of Operation
b. Start a flow of air or nitrogen gas at the lowest section and pressurize up to the test
pressure.
c. When the pressure has reached test pressure, check for leaks of all joint parts with
soap solution.
d. Formation of bubbles at point of application of the soap suds confirms leak points.
A. Inspection of Vessels
All vessel internals should be visually checked for cleanliness and for complete and
proper installation of internal equipment prior to the final bolting of cover plates or
manholes or loading of internals into vessels. A general check list is given below:
e. Internal piping
g. Internal gaskets
j. Internal floats
k. External type displacement tube cages or differential pressure nozzles for level
instrument(s)
l. Finally, each vessel should be cleaned before it is closed and then lined up.
After completion of the hydrostatic test all water has to be drained from the tank. Once
all mechanical work is completed, the tank has to be cleaned carefully. Presumably
there will be a substantial quantity of rust in the tank. If the tank is dry, inside cleaning
can be done with broom and dust pan. Another possibility is flushing with a fire hose
and withdrawing with a submerged pump.
All shut-off valves of the tank are to be tested for proper mechanical functioning and
any faults are to be cleared.
Control instruments are to be tested and adjusted to set point, safety valve area to be
checked for proper setting and tight closing. Liquid level indicator and temperature
recorder need special checking. All control valves and on/off valves are to be checked
with regard to their proper functioning.
Whenever the tank is open to atmosphere the roof manhole and other nozzles should
always be kept open to allow proper breathing.
Always keep the tank pressure relief valve and vacuum relief valve in line.
C. Checking of Pump
b. Verify that the pump and driver have been aligned for cold operation. There must be
no undue strain on the pump or driver by the piping.
c. Check seal piping. Verify that all installations are correct and complete. When a
pump is furnished with mechanical seals, verify that all of the components of the
flushing system, such as strainers, separators, restriction orifices and coolers if
required, have been correctly installed and are clean. It is very important that the
flushing system is clean, as the loss of flushing fluid or dirty flush can damage the
seals.
e. Check that temporary strainers in suction piping, if required, have been installed.
f. Verify that bearing housings have been cleaned prior to lubrication. If required, they
should be washed by suitable solvent.
g. Check that pump and driver are lubricated according to lubrication instructions.
D. Checking of Compressor
b. Check the setting of relief valves and pressure, temperature and flow switch set
points.
c. Check the rotating direction of drivers including oil pump, after decoupling from the
driven equipment.
d. Check the overall installation and the proper alignment with drivers including oil
pump.
f. Check the cleanliness of filters and strainers for cooling water and lubrication
system.
g. Verify the availability of cooling water, lube oil and instrument air.
i. Check the proper installation and wiring of instruments and verify proper functioning
of the interlocking system. Check for proper functioning of output regulation and
proper installation of all measuring and control instruments.
E. Running of machinery
Complete the mechanical check items described earlier. Most pumps will not be tested
for operating conditions since service fluids for the pumps are not available at this
situation.
For water pumps, please refer to Vendor’s instruction manual. Water pump will be
started manually and checked for proper running.
Complete the mechanical check items described earlier. The compressor initial run is
to be carried out with air. Compressor suction and discharge piping has to be removed
for this purpose. Refer to vendor’s instruction manual before carrying out this test.
F. Commissioning of utilities
a. Cooling water
The cooling water for Ammonia condenser and Oil Coolers is supplied by Cooling
Water system through Cooling Water pumps. The cooling water line should be
cleaned, and commissioned as early as possible during the period of preparation for
initial start-up. The conditions for cooling water supply and return are as follows:

Liquid Nitrogen will be brought by tankers. Suitable vaporiser will be used. Vaporiser
will be located near the Ammonia storage tank. For purging of Ammonia Tank 30-T-01,
hose (SXH-30204) will be connected from vaporiser outlet to pipeline AGLL-30066.
Purging nitrogen supply will be through Nozzle N18 in Tank top & valve on Nozzle N6
should be closed connected to inner tank. Nitrogen exhaust will be provided from
suitable nozzles on Inner Tank and Outer Tank. Tank pressure will be maintained at
around 300 mmwcg by throttling either the tank outlet valves or nitrogen inlet valve.
The Oxygen Concentration will be measured at all outlets periodically. Nitrogen purging
will be complete when all outlet concentrations show Oxygen content less than 2%.
After Nitrogen purging valve on nozzle N18 should be closed to avoid liquid ammonia
entry in Annular space during Tank operation and valve on N6 should be opened.
After completion of nitrogen purging, the system is ready for ammonia purging.
For equipment purging, utility connection nozzles are provided. The equipment and
piping purging shall be carried out section by section using Nitrogen in the Ammonia
Storage Tank. Inert gas purging shall be accomplished by pressurizing and
depressurizing with Nitrogen till Oxygen content falls below 2%. Air contained in the
equipment and piping will be purged to atmosphere through vent or drain valves.
The following equipment and interconnecting piping shall be purged with nitrogen.
Open valve N4 on Ammonia Storage Tank (Line no: ALLL-30044) to connect the
Ammonia Storage tank to following equipment of Refrigeration System for Nitrogen
purging which is stored in Ammonia Storage tank.
a. Economiser (30-E-02)
The purging of equipment listed above should be done individually and in above
sequence. The following instructions shall be followed:
2. Open the connection isolation valve and the 20 NB isolation valve on vent / drain.
4. Open the drain / vent valve in the equipment and remove air.
When the purging of equipment is completed, use the equipment to purge the
interconnecting piping between each section of the plant like Ammonia liquefaction
system, Flare and Drain system and interconnecting ammonia lines.
While purging the interconnecting pipeline vent the air from the vent or drain points at
the end of the pipelines or from suitable flanged joints with isolation valves.
For purging of pipelines open or close the isolation valves in the interconnecting piping
for section by section purging, maintaining nitrogen pressure in the equipment by
supplying nitrogen.
When purging of all static equipment and pipeline is completed, keep the piping and
equipment to slight positive pressure and close the vent / drain valves and nitrogen
purge valves of the utility connections.
For rotating equipment like Ammonia Transfer Pump and Ammonia Compressor (30-K-
01A/B) purging will be accomplished by connecting the Ammonia Storage Tank through
the suction line. Thus Pumps and Compressors can be purged after Ammonia Storage
Tank purging is over by using nitrogen in the tank as purging medium. For purging of
Drain Vessel 30-D-02, connect drain vessel to Ammonia Storage tank. The following
instructions shall be followed:
ii. Open the utility connection isolation valve and the 20 NB isolation valve on nitrogen
hoses.
iv. Open the drain or vent valve in the equipment and remove air from the bottom.
5. START-UP PROCEDURES:
This section describes initial start-up procedure for 12500 MT ammonia storage
systems. It is assumed that the existing facility is already in operation together with the
necessary utility system.
At first step, the inert gas present in Ammonia Storage Tank, refrigeration system and
associate pipe lines will be replaced with ammonia vapour. Ammonia vapour from
existing ammonia storage tanks, through common ammonia compressor suction line
(AGLL 30021 & AGLL 30547).
All other tank valves except PSV, VRV and instrument valves should be closed. To
start ammonia purging the 250 NB valve at TP-16 and 300 NB valve on tank top
(vapour line to ammonia compressor suction: 300-AGLL-30021-BE33-100K) is opened.
During ammonia purging, the nitrogen and ammonia mixture will be expelled from the
bottom through 4” drain of the inner tank and through annular purge ring of outer tank.
The outlet gas will be routed to flare through temporary line (100-AGLL-30104-BA31)
as shown in the P&ID. Also open isolation valve on 50-ALLL-30097-BE33-60K and
allow the gas mixture to enter the Drain Vessel (30-D-02) which will subsequently flow
back to the tank via line 50-AGLL-30098-BE33-60K.
Tank pressure is maintained at about 300 mmwcg. The refrigeration compressors will
have to be stopped in order that enough vapours are available for tank purging. The
vapour generation rate in the existing tank may be increased by unloading operation in
the existing tanks. The ammonia purging is stopped when the ammonia concentration
at both the outlets reaches 98%.
After completion of tank purging the lines and other equipments will be purged using
Ammonia connection from tank and suitable hose connection.
Vapour ammonia from Ammonia Storage Tank / from Existing Compressor will be
made available for the purging of all equipment. The purging loops described below are
indicative and can be modified at site depending on the actual pipe routings.
Close all the valves on the Refrigeration Compressor and Condenser (30-E-01A/B)
except the isolation valve for instruments. Open the isolation valve to the suction of the
Ammonia Refrigeration Compressors. Connect the line to Flare header. Check the
ammonia concentration at the vent/Drain. After purging operation close isolation valve
on the vent to flare line.
Open the isolation valve to the Discharge of the Ammonia Refrigeration Compressors.
Connect the line to Flare header. Check the ammonia concentration at the vent/Drain.
After purging operation close isolation valve on the vent to flare line.
Open isolation valve between condenser and receiver. Purge condenser shell side by
venting ammonia through vent line of Receiver to Flare header. Check the ammonia
concentration at the drain of Condenser. After purging operation close isolation valve
on the vent to flare line.
Close all valves on receiver and Economiser except instrument isolation valves.
Connect Ammonia Receiver to Economiser by opening isolation valve & bypass of LV-
30301. Purge Receiver by venting ammonia through vent line of Economiser to Flare
header. Check the ammonia concentration at the drain of Receiver. After purging
operation close isolation valve on the vent to flare line.
d. Economizer (EA-101)
Close all valves on economizer and receiver except instrument isolation valves.
Connect Ammonia Receiver to Economiser by opening isolation valve & bypass of LV-
e. Purging of Piping
Purge all lines in the system by venting to the Flare stack through the flare header.
The lines already purged can be connected to the Flare header by hose connections
wherever necessary.
After completion of ammonia purging for piping and equipment, proceed with purging
for the Ammonia Storage Tanks.
After Ammonia purging is completed the tank needs to be cooled down to make it
ready to receive liquid Ammonia. The tank’s cool down needs to be done uniformly in
order to avoid thermal stresses.
For cool down of 12500 MT Ammonia Storage Tank the 300 NB valve on tank top
(vapour line to ammonia compressor suction: 300-AGLL-30021-BE33-100K) is kept
open. The refrigeration system needs to be lined up. The return liquid from the
refrigeration system needs to be sent to the 12500 MT tank.
The tank pressure of all the three tanks will be maintained at about 450 mmWCg. As
the return liquid from the refrigeration system enters the tank through spray ring it will
initially flash and vaporise resulting in cooling of the tank. The cooling rate should
ideally be maintained between 2 to 5 Deg C per hour. The compressor loading should
be suitably maintained. During this operation some residual inerts will accumulate in
the condenser which will be vented to flare. Tank cool down will take about 12 to 16
hours. The tank cool down is considered to be over when liquid level is observed in the
tank or the tank bottom temperature reaches a steady value. After completion of cool
down of the tank, it is considered ready to receive Ammonia from ship.
6. NORMAL OPERATION:
This section will give the reader a clearer understanding of the operation and process
principles of the system. The procedures are sequentially arranged as follows
The Ammonia Transfer Pump is used for the pre-cooling operation. The start-up
procedures for this pump shall be followed as per the vendor manual. The required flow
rate is achieved by throttling the Hand Operated Control Valve located on the pre-
cooling line inside the Ammonia Storage Area. The pre-cooling flow rate should be
such that compressor system is able to handle the vapour load. The temperature in the
ammonia unloading-line shall be continuously monitored to check the effect of pre-
cooling. This shall be at the Ammonia Storage Area as well as the Jetty.
The attainment of the required temperature for the ammonia unloading-line shall
confirm the completion of pre-cooling. The existing Ammonia Transfer Pump shall be
isolated after the Pre-cooling Operation.
The Ship Unloading Operation shall be subsequent to the Pre-cooling Operation. The
Marine Unloading Arm shall be purged with nitrogen to displace the air from the arm.
The arm shall be connected as per procedures specified in the vendor manual. The
pre-cooling system should be isolated from the ammonia unloading-line. The MOV
shall be opened with bypass closed and the flow shall be controlled by the Hand
Operated Valve located in the Ammonia Storage Area. The operating conditions shall
be monitored at all times and the system shall be manned continuously. The quantity of
ammonia to be accommodated in the Ammonia Tank shall be predetermined and shall
be informed to all personnel before the commencement of Ship Unloading Operation.
The rise in the liquid level in the existing Ammonia Storage Tank shall be monitored
continuously. Data communication between Jetty and Storage Area shall be fluent to
avoid any eventuality in operation. Surveying the pipeline at all points from Jetty to
Storage Area is recommended prior to the ship unloading operation.
Completion of the Ship Unloading Operation shall be done by stopping of the ship
pump followed subsequently by the closing of the MOV and the Hand Operated Valve
located in the Ammonia Storage Area. The Marine Unloading arm shall be purged with
nitrogen and drained completely as per manufacturer’s recommendations and the
vendor manual. After the arm attains inert condition, the ammonia unloading-line
should be isolated from the arm (by the closing the block valve) and the arm shall be
parked in position.
Ammonia vapours generated in the tank mainly due to boil-off and these vapours pass
to one operating Ammonia Compressor. Based on the pressure in the tank, the
compressor will be accordingly loaded maintaining the set pressure. The operator
should continuously monitor the tank pressure to verify if the tank pressure is
maintained in the narrow band. The operator should watch if all the operating
parameters related to the compressor such as suction temperature, suction pressure,
discharge pressure and shell side of Economiser, Cooling water flow rate, lube oil
pressure, lube oil temperature etc. are within normal operating range and ensure that
no alarms are activated.
The compressed ammonia enters in Ammonia Condenser where ammonia vapours get
condensed. The condensed ammonia vapours enter Ammonia Receiver. Liquid
ammonia outlet from Ammonia Receiver is split into two streams, one stream enters
the tube side of the Economiser to get sub-cooled and the other stream enters the shell
side of Economiser where it flashes and vaporises while absorbing the heat from the
tube-side stream and enters as a superfeed into the Ammonia compressors. The sub-
cooled tube-side stream coming out of tube side of Economiser is sent and sprayed
into Ammonia Storage tank. The liquid level in the Ammonia Receiver is maintained by
level controller LICA-30304 (maintained on AUTO mode) through control valve LV-
30304. The operator should see intermittently on DCS whether normal liquid level is
present in the Ammonia Receiver or not. If the liquid level is not close to normal level
and if Level controller is not able to maintain the level, operator should open LV-30304
by-pass valve a little to maintain the level. The liquid level in the shell side of
Economiser is maintained by level controller LICA-30301 (maintained on AUTO mode)
through control valve LV-30301. The operator should see intermittently on DCS
whether normal liquid level is present in the shell side of Economiser or not. If the liquid
level is not close to normal level and if Level controller is not able to maintain the level,
operator should open LV-30301 by-pass valve a little to maintain the level.
The ammonia compressor will maintain the pressure in the tank. In case, ammonia
compressor is not able to take the load, start the second ammonia compressor. If
pressure in the tank is under control then shut one of the compressors. If pressure in
the tank continues to rise then maintain the pressure in the tank by opening control
valve PV-30203 through pressure controller PIC-30203 to vent ammonia vapour to
flare.
Check points for Ammonia Storage Tank (FA-501) during normal operation:
a. Check all first isolation valves for liquid/vapour nozzles for the tank are in ‘OPEN’
position. However, the drain nozzles shall remain in ‘CLOSED’ position.
b. Check all tank instrument isolation valves are open. Check pilot gas line isolation
valve for the safety valves is open.
c. Check the running indication lamps for the level instrument motors are in working
condition.
e. Record the temperature, pressure and level of the storage tank at regular intervals
during each shift.
f. Check control valve (PV-30203) for flaring ammonia vapour from tank is closed.
g. Check On/Off valve XV-30204 on pump suction is in open position during the
normal operation.
7. SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
The operations incorporated in this system are intermittent and hence normal shutdown
procedures are not applicable for this system.
Introduction
Emergency conditions may arise on the system at any time and it is obviously
impossible to present detailed instructions that would apply to all the situations.
Knowledge of the system and complete understanding of the processes involved are
the best methods operators have to safely and efficiently master any unusual
conditions which may develop. There is a need for complete understanding and
familiarity with the system alarms. All system instrumentation and alarm devices are
indicated in Piping & Instrumentation Flow Diagram. This information should be
available and learned, so that any emergency situation can be effectively handled.
Experience and understanding of the system gained over a period of time will enable
operators to modify the procedures to allow a faster recovery time when emergency
conditions arise.
Any action taken during emergency situations should satisfy the following
requirements:
1. Action taken must be one that can be performed without undue hazard to plant
personnel.
2. Action should place and maintain equipment in a safe and stable condition. This
means that no design parameters should be exceeded. These values should be
known before action is taken.
3. The action taken should permit resumption of normal operation at the earliest after
the emergency correction.
Electric Power is indicated in the control room by running indication lamps. The power
failure shall be informed by the stop indication of the continuous running motors like the
compressors. In case ship unloading is in progress the operator shall inform the ship
captain to immediately stop the ship pump to ensure system safety. In this situation,
the pressure of the Ammonia Storage Tank shall be controlled by flaring.
B. Compressor Failure
As explained in the previous chapters, the incoming liquid ammonia from the ship into
the New Ammonia Storage Tank (30-K-01) generates a considerable amount of vapour
which is liquefied by the Ammonia Refrigeration Compressors. In emergency situations
when these compressors fail, Control valve PV-30203 control the tank pressure by
flaring. Operator should monitor this situation & in these situations, this information
should be communicated to the Jetty area to stop the Ship Unloading Operation,
thereby safeguarding the system against any eventuality.
The philosophy used for the action of a valve when the air fails is based on system
safety requirements. For example, if instrument air fails during ship unloading then the
Hand Operated Valve located in the Ammonia Storage Area will shutdown leading to a
shutoff condition for the ship pump. The shut-off pressure as measured by the
instruments in the Jetty area shall be communicated to the ship captain to stop the ship
pump.
It is essential that the operating personnel familiarize themselves with the action that
each control valve takes in the event of air failure. This information is shown in the
P & IDs.
Conclusions
Safety of the personnel and protection of major equipment must be the primary
concerns in every emergency. All actions must be performed safely.
For Tank Level interlock description, please refer Chapter 3 Interlock Description and
document Cause & Effect Diagram.
The receiver 30-D-01 is provided with a local level indicator (LI-30305), a level
transmitter (LT-30304) and Controller (LIC-30304). This LIC controls receiver outlet
level control valve (LV-30304) and receiver level to the set value, by operating on
control valve LV-30304. Safety is ensured by the provision of LIC high and low level
alarms, in control room.
The level control system for Economizer is similar to that for the receiver. A local level
indicator (LI-30302) is provided for level measurement in the field. A level transmitter
(LT-30301) with controller LIC-30301 is also provided to control the shell side inlet
valve LV-30301 and maintain level in the economizer to set value. Additionally, level
high high alarm (LAHH-30303) is provided to trip the compressors in situations of high
high level in the economizer and close the Economiser Shell inlet valve LV-30301.
The build up of non-condensable gases would tend to increase the pressure in the
condenser and receiver thereby increasing the compressor discharge pressure. The
receiver is provided with a pressure transmitter with controller (PIC-30303). When the
pressure in the receiver exceeds the set value, the controller opens the pressure
control valve (PV-30303), located on the gas outlet for the Inert Gas to Flare stack.
This leads to passing of a mixture of non condensable gas along with traces of vapor
The following is a list of parameters which form a part of Routine Checks for Ammonia
Storage System:
b. Check leakage from flange connections for low temperature process lines.
h. Check proper functioning for all panel indicators, recorders, controllers and
annunciates.
In situations of normal and emergency operation, for the storage and handling of
anhydrous ammonia, all operators and engineers should be aware with the properties
of anhydrous ammonia.
A. General
It has been proven that anhydrous ammonia can be handled and used safely, provided
it is done with proper care, precaution and proper equipment. This requires a clear
understanding of the nature of the product, its characteristics and behaviour under
different conditions. These features are explained in the following paragraphs.
B. Properties
b. As a gas, under normal atmospheric conditions, it is colourless, lighter than air, and
has a pungent, irritating odour.
d. Ammonia has a strong affinity to water. An abundant supply of water is the best
means of providing protection against the effects of contact with ammonia. Heat is
released when ammonia reacts with water. Hence, excess water is needed to
absorb this heat.
e. Liquid ammonia expands rapidly with rising temperature and it is imperative that this
be considered in the design and operation of ammonia systems. Table 8.1 lists the
various properties and characteristics for anhydrous ammonia.
g. The relatively high ignition temperature of about 650ºC reduces the flammability
hazard. Formation of sparks due to friction between metals should be avoided.
b. All ammonia must be removed from the system before any attempt is made to
dismantle or repair it.
d. The presence of leaks is usually detected easily by the nose, since ammonia, even
in very small quantities, is very irritating. Ammonia leaks can be located by moving
an open bottle of Hydrochloric Acid along ammonia piping. A white cloud of
ammonium chloride mist will form near the leak source.
e. Position yourself so that your head or body is not in direct line with openings of
valves and fittings.
f. The adjusting and repairing of safety relief and excess flow valves is a job for the
manufacturer.
g. Using wrenches in closing valves operated by hand wheel can damage the valve
seat and might break the valve stem.
D. Physiological Effects
a. Ammonia is not considered poisonous. It has a cumulative toxic effect as does lead,
for example. However, it has a powerful corrosive effect on skin tissues. Exposure
to concentrations above 5000 parts of ammonia per million parts of air (5,000 parts
per million) will produce death by suffocation within minutes.
c. Contact with liquid ammonia will cause burns through freezing, as well as by
corrosive action.
b. A person should refrain from breathing for as long a time as possible in an area
contaminated with ammonia. While respiratory equipment is being secured and
adjusted, take only short, shallow breaths. Eyes should be closed to the extent
possible. This will minimize eye irritation. The effects of ammonia inhalation will be
lessened slightly, but only temporarily, by keeping a wet cloth over mouth and nose.
Since ammonia vapour is lighter than air, better breathing will normally be found
close to the ground, unless liquid ammonia has been released.
c. Persons who work with ammonia and may be exposed to either the liquid or the gas
are to be provided with rubber or neoprene gloves and chemical safety glasses.
Cotton clothing should be worn as it stands up best against ammonia.
d. Gas masks (approved for ammonia service by the U.S. Bureau of Mines) with a full
face mask and green ammonia canisters (C) are to be made available in case of an
emergency. Spare canisters are to be made available. Their use is limited to brief
periods not exceeding 15 minutes in concentrations of 3%. Gradually increasing
odour of ammonia in the inhaled air will warn that the canister is exhausted.
e. Emergency equipment should be located in such places that Workers need not
move through contaminated areas to secure these.
F. First Aid
1. In situations where ammonia comes in contact with skin and mucous membrane the
following measures shall be taken as first aid:
b. The affected areas should be flooded with cool water for about 15 minutes. Salves
and ointments should not be applied to skin or mucous membrane burns during a
twenty four hour period following the injury.
c. Obtain a physician’s services. In the interim, the burns should be covered with
dressings kept wet with a saturated solution of sodium thiosulfate.
d. Each worker should be acquainted with the location of each safety shower and
other source of large quantities of water.
If even small quantities of ammonia enter the eyes, these should be washed
immediately and thoroughly for a minimum time of 15 minutes. A physician,
preferably an eye specialist, should be called on. If a physician is not immediately
available, the eye irrigation should be continued for a second period of 15 minutes.
After the first 15 minutes period, as a first aid measure, the eye can be treated with
two or three drops of a 0.5% pontocaine solution. Usage of oils or oily ointments as
emergency treatment should be avoided.
g. Shock
Keep the patient comfortably warm and quiet. The lower portion of his body may be
elevated slightly. Advise the doctor of any symptoms of shock, pallor, coldness of
the extremities, weak, rapid or irregular pulse, stupor and changes in the rate and
depth of respiration. Treat such symptoms only as directed by the doctor.
h. Stimulants
For emergency treatment of ammonia burns, first aid kits should include the
following items labelled as indicated:
The leak detection in Ammonia Refrigeration Systems is relatively simpler due to the
pungent smell of ammonia.
a. A soap water solution is spread over doubtful spots with a brush (Nekall solution).
The formation of bubbles indicates leakage.
b. A burning sulphur paper is applied near the leaky spot. Combustion gases form
ammonium sulphate at the leaky spot indicated by white fumes.
c. SO2 blown on to the leaking points through a fine jet will cause white fumes to form.
A saturated aqueous solution of SO2 or hydrochloric acid dabbed on to the leaky
point by means of a wad of cotton wool will also cause the formation of white fumes.
c. If a hazard exists, suitable fresh air breathing apparatus and a safety line must be
used.
d. The possibilities of apparatus failure cannot be ruled out. Hence, preparation must
be made to prevent a catastrophe in the event of equipment failure. The individual
entering the oxygen deficient atmosphere must have all his gear situated in such a
way that in the event of loss of consciousness, he can be hoisted or dragged out of
the danger area without becoming bound on the manhole, door or to other opening.
This will require breathing apparatus that is small enough that the man can pass
through the opening with the breathing apparatus mounted on his body and
operating. A harness must be used for the safety line attachment so that the body
being raised or dragged cannot turn over and bind on the opening.
e. Sufficient manpower, plus extra persons, must be present and attentive to remove
the individual from the hazardous environment, if necessary. The extra persons
must be available for contingencies or to send more help.
f. The individual entering the oxygen deficient atmosphere and others must be
thoroughly familiar with the information contained herein and with the equipment to
be used.
1. Breathing can be interrupted for only about one and one-half minutes before signs
of oxygen deficiency occur.
2. Deficiency of oxygen in the atmosphere occurs due to displaced normal air with
nitrogen.
6-10% - The nervous system is affected to the point that any sudden demand for
oxygen, excitement or physical effort will result in loss of consciousness.
At high elevation above MSL, the above effects would occur at even higher
concentrations of oxygen because of the reduced atmospheric pressure.
situation, calls for more oxygen from the already deficient supply. The oxygen
supply to the brain is depleted and the consciousness is lost.
5. The individual is usually revived by oxygen supply, heart massage and artificial
respiration (if the exposure has not exceeded five to fifteen minutes) depending
upon severity of oxygen depletion. If the exposure is brief, recovery may be almost
as rapid as the onset of symptoms. Prolonged exposure may lead to mental
changes (excitement, amnesia, palsied, delirium with halluniciations, apathy)
extending over many hours, and in the more severe cases, by permanent brain
damage.

Introduction
This instruction manual covers the general practices for maintenance of the Ammonia
Storage System. The system should be maintained for the most efficient operation and
longest equipment life. This instruction manual covers the general maintenance
checking practices for the plant operators and the maintenance personnel. The plant
management shall prepare detailed maintenance schedule for the system. For detailed
maintenance of equipment, instrument or any other device, respective Vendor
instruction manual shall be referred.
A. Maintenance
working order. All maintenance operations carried out on an ammonia installation must
be subject to some form of permit to work system. This must take into account the
nature of the work and the potential hazard. Burning or welding operations constitute a
serious explosion hazard in pipes and vessels, which have been incompletely purged.
Care should be taken to guard against this possibility by proper purging with inert gases
before carrying out any hot work. If any wilding operations are carried out on the tank
then there must be at least local stress relief as required by the design code.
For maintenance of Pumps, vendor instructions as spelt out in vendor manuals should
be followed.
Inspection and maintenance for all pipelines should be carried out periodically
depending on the line usage. Pressure test is necessary wherever repairs or alterations
have been made.
Every vessel which has a working pressure or less than atmospheric shall be normally
inspected every five years. Inspection by a competent authorized person is necessary
but pressure test is not obligatory. A pressure test will however be applied if repairs or
alterations have been made which may affect the strength of the vessel, where an
examination is not possible or where as a result of the examination, the Inspector
considers the results inconclusive. The checking of equipment safety valves and
inspection and maintenance should be carried out periodically.
C. Routine Check
“Routine Check” is the inspection to be carried out by the operators, who are most
familiar with the system operation status. The routine check should be classified into
weekly and the monthly checks. The check list for all routine checks shall be developed
and updated by the system operators.
The following is a list of parameters, which form a part of Routine Checks for the
Ammonia Storage System:
b. Check leakage from flange connections for low temperature process lines.
h. Check proper functioning for all panel indicators, recorders, controllers and
annunciates.
