Discussion Points:
AVU receives Cooling Water from CT-3. Cooling Water Failure can occur when all the operating pumps
in CT-3 fail to supply water. However, this is a rare phenomenon as there are 3 steam & 2 motor driven
pumps out of 5.
Water supply to pumps, compressors, for cooling of bearings, seals etc. will be stopped and will
tend to overheat & damage the running equipments.
Loss of vacuum in vacuum column due to unavailability of Cooling Water in surface condensers.
Loss of cooling water will lose the condensing ability on stabilizer, de ethanizer & de propanizer
overhead, with resultant loss of reflux and column pressure control.
Loss of product trim cooling will result in higher run down temperature.
Loss of liquid level in hot well drum due to vaporization of water/hydrocarbons.
If the cooling water failure is ‘TOTAL’ and not resumed for long time, the unit will be brought down
urgently in the same way as in the case of ‘TOTAL’ power failure. (except all running
pumps/compressors which are to be stopped manually). If the cooling water failure is ‘PARTIAL’
following actions to be taken.
1. Contact UCR for low flow/pressure of cooling water and advise them to start the pumps
