1.0 INTRODUCTION

Piping study for the column should start after complete understanding of the following document:

a) Technical specification of the column


b) P&ID
c) Unit Plot Plan
d) Basic Engineering document highlighting the specific process requirement, platform
requirement and guidelines for the general arrangement of piping around the column.
e) Details of internal arrangements e.g.
for packed type - the packing height, packing support and manhole / hand hole locations, and
for tray type - the nos. of tray, type of tray, downcomer location, manhole location etc.
f) Instrument data sheet.
g) Line list with operating / design conditions of the fluid.

1.1 Some understanding of the process function will facilitate the piping study to meet the
requirements of operation, maintenance, safety and the aesthetics. Various types of column
with their varying functions are in use for process and refinery industry.

Generally they are called based on the specific operation for transfer of mass viz. Distillation,
Absorption - stripping or Fractionation etc.

2.0 DISTILLATION

The distillation is separation of the constituents of a liquid mixture via partial vaporisation of the
mixture and separate recovery of vapour and residue.

Various kinds of devices called plates or trays are used to bring the two phases into intimate
contact. The trays are stacked one above the other and enclosed in a cylindrical shell to form a
column.

The feed material, which is to be separated into fractions, is introduced at one or more points
along the column shell. Due to difference in gravity between liquid and vapour phases, the liquid
runs down the column, cascading from tray to tray, while vapour goes up the column contacting
the liquid at each tray.

The liquid reaching the bottom of the column is partially vaporised in a heated reboiler to provide
reboil vapour , which is sent back up the column. The remainder of the bottom liquid is withdrawn
as the bottom product.

The vapour reaching the top of column is cooled and condensed to a liquid in the overhead
condenser. Part of this liquid is returned to the column as reflux to provide liquid overflow and to
control the temperature of the fluids in the upper portion of the tower. The remainder of the
overhead stream is withdrawn as the overhead or distillate product.

The Typical distillation process tower is illustrated in Fig.CLP-1 and crude distillation of products
across temperature range is illustrated in Fig.CLP-2.

2.1 ABSORPTION AND STRIPPING

Many operations in petrochemical plants require the absorption of components from gas streams
into lean oils or solvents. The resultant rich oil is then stripped or denuded of the absorbed
materials. The greatest use of this operation utilises hydrocarbon materials, but the principles
are applicable to other systems provided adequate equilibrium data is available.

A typical flow diagram of absorption-stripping system for hydrocarbon recovery from gaseous
mixture is illustrated in Fig. CLP-3.

2.2 FRACTIONATION

A fractionation column is a type of still. A simple still starts with mixed liquids, such as alcohol
and water produced by fermenting grain etc. and by boiling produces a distillate in which the
concentration of alcohol is many times higher than in feed. In petroleum industry, mixtures of not
only two but a great many components are dealt with. Crude oil is a typical feed for a
fractionation column and from it, the column can form simultaneously several distillates such as
wax distillate, gas oil, heating oil, naptha and fuel gas. These fractions are termed cuts.

The feed is heated in a furnace before it enters the column. As the feed enters the column,
quantities of vapour are given off by flashing due to release of pressure on the feed.

As the vapours rise up the column, they come into intimate contact with down flowing liquid.
During this contact, some of the heavier components of the vapour are condensed and some of
the higher components of the down flowing liquid are vaporised. This process is termed refluxing.

If the composition of the feed remains the same and the column is kept in steady operation, a
temperature distribution establishes in the column. The temperature at any tray is the boiling
point of the liquid on the tray. 'Cuts' are not taken from every tray. The P&ID will show cuts that
are to be made, including alternatives. Nozzles on selected trays are piped and nozzles for
alternate operation are provided with line blinds or valves.

The fractionator tower is illustrated in Fig.CPL-4.

The typical vacuum tower and stripper is illustrated in Fig.CLP-5. Stripper is used to strip lighter
materials from bottom of a main or a vacuum tower distilling crude bottom residue under vacuum.

2.3 INTERNALS

Columns based on internal details are often called as either Plate Columns or Packed Columns.

Plate Column:
The lighter hydrocarbons vaporise and flow up through the holes in the tray plate, making contact
with the liquids on that tray.

Tray types are: Bubble Cap trays, Valve trays, Sieve trays

Bubble Cap Trays: Bubbling action effects contact. Vapour rises up through 'risers' into bubble
cap, out through slots as bubbles into surrounding liquid on tray. Liquid flow over caps, outlet
weir and downcomer to tray below.

PIPING STUDY
Rev. : R0
COLUMN PIPING
Uhde India Limited Page : 6

Valve Trays: Commonly used valve trays are stamped out by big press and these trays come
with small valves attached to them which allow vapour traffic.

Sieve Trays: Sieve trays are perforated flat plates. They are inexpensive for small diameter
vessels but large diameter towers must have extensive supports for these trays. Sieve trays are
used for heavy hydrocarbon fractionation.

All trays have foam on top of liquid. The height of the foam will vary with the process. Foam may
rise a foot or more above the tray liquid.

Liquid-gas contacting is made effective through the above trays by cross-flow or counter flow. In
counter flow plates, liquid and gas utilise the same openings for flow, thus there are no
downcomers.

Perforated plate with liquid cross flow (sieve plate) is the commonly specified tray.
These two types of flow is illustrated in Fig.CLP - 8.

The two most commonly used types of tower viz. the trayed and packed arrangements are
illustrated in Fig.CLP-6 and Fig.CLP-7 respectively.

3.0 REQUIRED INFORMATION

The basic document listed is Cl.1.0 shall be studied thoroughly for conceptual arrangement of
piping around a column.

COLUMN PIPING
Uhde India Limited Page : 7

A typical plan of equipments located in the refinery type of plants highlighting the maintenance
access is illustrated in Fig.CLP-32.

3.5 Instrument standard shows:


• The location of instrument connections to tower for gauges, level controllers and level alarms.
• Location of pressure and temperature connections without orientation.
• The instrumentation systems around the tower are depicted in the P&ID.

3.6 Fabrication drawing / detail dimensional drg. of column provides :


• Diameter and height of column.
• Details and dimensions of internals.
• Manhole
• Process-piping connections in elevation (without orientation)
• Drum, pump, exchanger drawings giving details of adjacent process equipment or equipment
supported on column itself.

An integrated piping study should be developed from the above information.

The piping study should take care of all the general recommendations of piping arrangement
around the column and its related equipment and facilities as illustrated in Fig.CLP-25
"Typical arrangement of external piping around column"

4.0 SEQUENCE OF COLUMN PIPING STUDY

4.1 All available information / data from Equipment specification and P&ID shall be written on the
elevation view of the column as illustrated in Fig.CLP-12, CLP-13 & CLP-15.

4.2 The designer now starts thinking about the proper orientation of nozzles and provisions for access
to the points of operation and maintenance.

4.3 Considerations of the pipeline leaving the tower area and the adjacent piping shall be visualised.

4.4 The first step is to orient the manholes preferably all in same directions. Normally, manholes
shall be oriented towards dropout area within a 30° segment of column as this facilitates the
lowering of tower internals to the main access way. The manhole segment of platform should not
be occupied by any piperack.

4.5 A break in ladder rise (normal 5m, maximum 7m) will occupy another segment of column for
platform.

4.6 The levels of platforms are to be decided on the elevation view based on the manholes and
access to relief valves, instrument for viewing.

4.7 All platform levels in the proper segments of the tower with ladder location should be drawn on
plan view. The manhole shall be shown in proper segment with the angle of orientation, and the
space for the swing of manhole cover taking davit hinge as centre.

4.8 Layout should be started from the top of the column with the designer visualising the layout as a
whole. There will be no difficulty in dropping large overhead line straight down the side of a
column, and leaves the column at a high level and crosses directly to the condenser. This clears
a segment at lower elevations for piping or for a ladder from grade level to the first platform.

PIPING STUDY
Rev. : R0
COLUMN PIPING
Uhde India Limited Page : 8

4.9 Flexibility and thermal load connected with the large-dia overhead lines to the condenser at grade
level or higher level shall be considered. The relief valve protecting the tower is usually connected
to the overhead line. A relief valve discharging to atmosphere should be located on the highest
tower platform.

In a closed relief-line system, the relief-valve should be located on the lowest tower platform above
the relief -system header. This will result in the shortest relief-valve discharge leads to the flare
header. The entire relief-line system should be self-draining.

4.10 From layout point of view, it is preferable to space the platform brackets on the tower equally and
to align the brackets over each other for the entire length of the tower. This will minimise
interferences between piping and structural members.

4.11 Nozzles and piping must meet process requirements while platforms must satisfy maintenance
and operating needs. Access for tower piping, valves and instruments influence placement of
ladders.

4.12 In routing pipelines, the problem is faced to interconnected tower nozzles with other remote
points. The tentative orientation of a given tower nozzle is on the line between tower centre and
the point to which the line is supposed to run. Segments for piping going to equipment at grade
e.g. condenser and reboiler lines are available between ladders and both sides of manhole. See
the Fig. CLP-21 / 31 for overall orientation of a distillation column.
Line approaching the yard/piperack can turn left or right depending on the overall arrangement of
the plant. The respective segments of these lines are between the ladders and 180°. The
segment at 180° is convenient for lines without valves and instruments, because this is the point
farthest from manhole platforms.

The sequence of lines around the tower is influenced by conditions at grade level. Piping
arrangements without lines crossing over each other give a neat appearance and usually a more
convenient installation.

4.13 The correct relationship between process nozzles and tower internals is very important. An angle
is usually chosen between the radial centreline of internals and tower-shell centrelines. By
proper choice of this angle (usually 45° or 90° to the piperack) many hours of work and future
inconvenience can be saved. Tower piping, simplicity of internal piping and manholes access into
the tower are affected by this angle. After this, the information produced by the designer results
in selecting the correct orientation of tower nozzles.

4.14 A davit usually handles heavy equipment such as large-size relief valves and large-diameter
blinds. If the davit is at the top of the tower, it can also serve for lifting and lowering tower
internals to grade.
Clearance for the lifting tackle to all points from which handling is required, and good access
should be provided.

4.15 Very often, interpretation of process requirements inside a tower is more exacting than exterior
piping design. The location of an internal part determines within strict physical limits the location
of tower nozzles, instruments, piping and the steelwork. The layout designer have to concentrate
on a large-scale drawing of tower-internal details and arrangement of process piping to finalise the
piping study.

4.16 Access, whether internal or external is very important. This includes accessibility of connections
from ladders and platforms and internal accessibility through shell manholes, handholes or
removable sections of trays. A manhole openings must not be obstructed by internal piping.

4.17 Reboiler-line elevations are determined by the draw off and return nozzles and their orientation is
influenced by thermal flexibility considerations. Reboiler lines and the overhead lines should be
as simple and direct as possible.

4.18 Fig.CLP-23 shows the segments of tower circumference allotted to piping, nozzles, manholes,
platform brackets and ladders as normally recommended to develop a well-designed layout.

5.0 NOZZLE ORIENTATION AND LEVEL

Nozzles are located at various levels of the tower to meet the process and intstrumentation
requirements.

5.1 MANHOLES

Nozzles are to be oriented keeping provision for maintenance and operation needs.

Manholes are usually located at bottom, top and intermediate sections of tower. These access
nozzles must not be located at the downcomer sections of the tower or the seal pot sections of
the tower.

Where internal piping is arranged over a tray, manhole shall be provided but it should be
ensured that the internals do not block the maintenance access through the manhole.

Possible location of manhole and handholes within the angular limits of b° are illustrated in
detail-2 of Fig.CLP-21

5.3 REBOILER CONNECTIONS

Reboiler connections are normally located at the bottom section of the tower. Detail-1 of
Fig.CLP-21 shows reboiler draw-off connections for single-flow tray. This connection can be
very important for arranging tray orientation. The simplest, most economical location for reboiler
connections with the alternative location within the angular limits of a° is shown. The angle a°
depends on the size of reboiler draw off nozzle and the width of the boot
(dimension 'b') at the tray down flow.

The return connection from the thermosyphon reboilers is shown in detail-1 of Fig.CLP-21.
These lines should be as simple and as direct as possible, consistant with the requirements of
thermal flexibility.

For horizontally mounted thermosyphon reboiler, the draw off nozzle is located just below the
bottom tray and for vertically mounted recirculating thermosyphon reboiler, the draw off nozzle
is located at the bottom head. For both the systems, the return nozzles are located just above
the liquid level as shown in Fig.CLP-33.

5.4 REFLUX CONNECTIONS

Reflux nozzles are provided with internal pipes that discharge the liquid into the sealpot of the
tray below. Detail 3 of Fig.CLP-21 shows the reflux connections. Care must be taken that the
horizontal leg of the internal pipe clears the tops of bubble caps or weirs. It must be ensured
that the internal pipe can be fabricated for easy removal through a manhole or can be fabricated
inside the tower shell.

COLUMN PIPING
Uhde India Limited Page : 10

5.5 OVERHEAD CONNECTIONS

The vapour outlet nozzle is usually a vertical nozzle on the top head of tower. In addition, the
vent and relief valve could be located on the top head with a typical platform arrangement for
access to vent, instrument connections and top manhole. In a closed relief line system, relief
valve should be located on the lowest tower platform above the relief system header. This ill
result in the shortest relief valve discharge leads. The entire relief line system should be self
draining.

5.6 BOTTOM CONNECTIONS

The liquid outlet is located on the bottom head of the tower. If the tower is supported on skirt,
the nozzle is routed outside the skirt as shown in Fig.CLP-22. The elevation and orientation of
this line is generally dictated by the pump NPSH requirement and the pump suction line
flexibility. (see Fig.CLP-30)

5.7 TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE INSTRUMENT CONNECTIONS / LEVEL INSTRUMENTS

The temperature and pressure instrument connections are located throughout the tower. The
temperature probe must be located in a liquid space and the pressure connection in a vapour
space as shown in Fig.CLP 37.

The level instruments are located in the liquid section of the tower usually at the bottom. The
elevation of the nozzles is decided by the amount of liquid being controlled or measured and by
standard controller and guage glass lengths. Level controllers must be operable from grade or
platform and level guages / switches may be from a lader if no platform is available. Fig.CLP-
35, 36, 37, 38, 39 illustrates a few instrument connections on tower.

6.0 ACCESS AND MAINTENANCE FACILITY

6.1 Access whether internal or external is very important. This includes accessibility of
connections from ladders and platforms and internal accessibility through shell manholes,
handholes or removable sections of trays.

6.2 Tower maintenance is usually limited to removal of exterior items (e.g. relief or control valves)
and interior components (e.g. trays or packing rings) Handling of these items is achieved by
fixed devices (e.g. davits or trolley beams) or by mobile equipment (e.g. cranes). When davits
or beams are used, they are located at the top of the tower, accessible from a platform and
designed to lower the heaviest removable item to a specific drop out area at grade level. When
mobile equipment is used, a clear space must be provided at the back (side opposite to
piperack) of the tower that is accessible from plant auxiliary road.

Fig.CLP-16, 25, 29, 32 illustrates the access and maintenance facilities to be considered in the
piping arrangement around a tower.

On free-standing columns, access for major maintenance to insulation or painting will usually
require the erection of temporary scaffolding. Space for scaffolding at grade level and provision
of cleats on the shall to facilitate scaffold erection should be considered.

6.3 Utility stations of two services viz. steam and air are usually provided on maintenance platforms.
Steam and air risers should be located during piping study to keep adequate cleats for support. (see
Fig.CLP-20)

7.0 PLATFORMS AND LADDERS

7.1 Platforms on towers are required for access to valves, instruments, blinds and maintenance
accesses. Platforms are normally circular and supported by brackets attached to the side of
the tower. Generally, access to platforms is by ladder. Fig.CLP-19 illustrates the platform
requirements.

7.2 Platform elevations for towers are set by the items that require operation and maintenance. The
maximum ladder run should not exceed 7m.

7.3 Platform widths are dictated by operator access. The clear space on plat form width shall be
min.900mm.

For platforms with control stations, the width of platform shall be 900mm plus the width of
control station.

The platform for manholes and maintenance access, adequate space for swing the cover flange
flange must be provided.

7.4 Top-head platforms for access to vents, instruments and relief valves are supported on head by
trunions.

7.5 Access between towers may be connected by common platforming.

7.6 It is preferrable to space platform brackets on tower equally and to align brackets over each
other over the entire length of shell. This minimises the structural design and interferences from
piping.

7.7 On very wide platforms or those that support heavy piping loads, knee bracing is required in
addition to the usual platform steel. The potential obstruction immediately under the knee
brace must be kept in mind during platform design.

7.8 Fig.CLP 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 illustrates a few platform considerations.
