Building review for Pre-manufactured Condensate Loading Building IIZZZ-0 114
Mr. Anderson:
At the request of Chevron and Project Associates, Inc., ZAP Engineering and Construction Services, Inc ..
have supervised and reviewed the engineering drawings and calculations for the above~ named building.
Attached in the calculations are computer analyses that verify that the buildings can withstand IBC-
mandated loading with large factors of safety. The buildings will be installed in Garfield County in a 40 psf
snow load area, and the calculations were based on 40 psf snow loads and 90 mph wind loads.
A ComCheck energy analysis report is also attached. However, due to the ell'ects of interior heating
provided by the process liquids contained in the building, the requirements for heating this building are
below the threshold defined in the International Energy Conservation Code, and the IECC does not apply to
this building.
Please do not hesitate to contact us or the building manufacturer if you need any additional information for
your review.
Sincerely,
~

INTRODUCTION
A LACT skid will be housed in a shipping container and will be installed on landed in Colorado. Petronyx was
contacted to check the container for the wind and snow loads as defmed on the Meteorological Data sheet.
Additional, criteria from IBC 2003, ASCE 7-05 and API-RP-2A were reviewed and the most severe criteria was
used. No standards design criteria (allowable floor, roof and wind loads) for these containers was available at the
time of the design check. Information on the container framing details was provided by the Wood Group. Each
element-roof, walls and corner framing was checked by hand calculations. ~-,.,,

INPUT I ASSUMPTIONS
Wind and snow loading are per Meteorological Data sheet-
Wind-90 MPH, Exposure Factor C, Importance Factor !.!5
Snow-5' Snow Design Load-Va!ley
20' Snow Design Load-Mesa
Building Interior Temperatore -45°F minimum
No snow pressure was given so the maximum roof capacity was calculated.
Information provided on Garfield County, Colorado roof snow load requirement-40 psf

·-~_.\..
Bearing capacity of soil was not checked as information was not provided on foundation. Design and verification of
a concrete foundation will be completed by others.
General Assembly drawing for shorter version of container indicates floor strength load= 12,000#. LACT skid
weight-7,000#, therefore, floor is adequate.
RESULTS
Wall and corner framing are adequate to resist the design level wind forces per IBC, ASCE 7-05 and API-RP-2A
(API criteria produced about a l/3 higher pressure).
The roof framing is adequate to support 52 psf (3 psf of dead load and up to 49 psf of snow load> 40 psf Garfield
County requirement).
Container only needs to be supported at comers, however, it can be supported it perimeter framing members.
Seismic loading was deemed not critical compared to wind loading.
Overall, container is adequate to support the dead and live loads and resist the wind or seismic loads. Container
should be securely bolted to concrete foundation.
Lifting eyes are adequate for the lift assuming a minimum of an l/8" weld all around the lift eye plate. Part of 1"
main plate is welded to 5/32" thick comer framing and the other part to the remainder of the ISO corner fitting.
Cheek plate diameter is not shown (assumed to be 6"). The top members on the roof and comer framing is adequate
for lifting conditions with a safety factor> 2.0

Yes sir, Marie with Boasso informed me that this spec pertained to all her boxes, which is what the lac! container is!!! Let
me know if ANY dimension is still missing II can go pull it off the box and I or draw you any detail needed! One thing I can
answer now, the wall that is OPEN on one end will be closed off with FLAT 1/8" think A-36 Plate, with (3) 2" x 2" x 1/4" Up
rights. AND a 36" Door frame inserted. Seal welded inside and oul The X-brace on the ceiling is chain tacked across the
ceiling on about every 4th corrugate.

Reggie,
The ISO spec is the same as BIG (Bureau of international containers) Spec that we have been asking for. Is this drawing
for the LACT container? If yes, this could help on some of the dimensions needed.

recognized classification societies.
All welding equipment shall be maintained in good working order to produce
acceptable weld quality. All workers operating welding machines shall be
skillful and knowledgeable of proper welding techniques and shall avoid
excessive weld speed, excessive current, and excessive ventilation causing
loss of shielding gas.
All welding is to be skillfully and accurately performed by a shielded arc
process and shall exhibit even beads, good shape and full penetration
(100%)and shall not exhibit signs of cracking, porosity, spatter, burn through,
undercutting or blow holes upon completion.
Welding back bead shall exhibit full penetration. Back bead should be a
continuous, smooth round shape free of skips, jagged edges or voids.
All roof and side panel butt welds shall have full (100%} penetration with a
smooth, even, round shaped backbead that is free of any jagged, flared, or
mushroomed areas.
All joints to be welded shall be spaced a minimum of 2mm apart except for thin
panels which shall be spaced not greater than the material thickness.
All stitch welds shall be a minimum of 25 mm long. If required, any manual
welding which is not performed by a shielded gas process shall be
accomplished with low hydrogen flux-coated welding electrodes.
Inspections will be performed after each stage of welding to identify any weld
defects. Adequate lighting shall be provided at each station to complete these
inspections. Defect repair and weld spatter removal will be performed at each
station and not left for the final touch up area. Chisels should be used to

The Chevron Mid-Continent & Alaska Business Unit (Chevron) is currently developing facilities
in the Piceance Basin of Western Colorado for the purposes of natural gas production, treatment,
transmission, and delivery to sales pipelines. These facilities include modular facilities close to
the gas wellheads, as well as a number of modular unit process facilities at a Central Production
Facility (CPF) to be located north of the town of De Beque, Colorado.
Because of the unique nature of fire and explosion hazards at natural gas facilities, Chevron has
planned and designed these facilities to incorporate fire prevention and protection systems and
procedures in accordance with industry standards, relevant building and fire protection codes, and
Chevron's Safety in Design program. The purpose of this document is to present the design and
operational philosophy Chevron proposes for the development of these facilities within the CPF.
The key design parameter in the design of the fire protection system for the CPF is the ability to
quickly and automatically depressure most of the facility, shut down the flow of hydrocarbons to
the facility, and remove all electrical power, except essential power, upon automatic detection of
a fire anywhere in the facility.
As is typical in the petroleum industry, Chevron has designed the production and treatment
facilities at the CPF as a series of modular unit processes. Each module is designed to accomplish
some function or functions related to natural gas processing, such as removal of water and solids
flowing within the gas stream, removal of heavier hydrocarbons from the gas stream,
compression of the gas prior to release to a pipeline, metering the gas prior to delivery of the gas
to a customer's pipeline, etc. Because of the harsh weather conditions at the site, many of these
unit processes are enclosed to protect certain equipment and instrumentation from the elements.
Some of the process skids will be mostly enclosed; other process modules will have an enclosure
around the instrumentation and control equipment only. Most of the process enclosures will be
factory built, and Chevron has been working with the Colorado Division of Housing to secure
plan reviews and permits for these prefabricated facilities. Several of the facilities will be site-
built enclosures, including a large facility housing the main compression equipment at the CPF.
Additionally, some of the prefabricated facilities will house support and utility processes, but will
not house any significant hydrocarbon materials.
Because of the nature of the fire hazard associated with the enclosures housing process gases and
associated equipment, the primary focus of this narrative will be on the process buildings. The
process equipment enclosures are classified by the International Building Code (IBC) as buildings
with an Occupancy Classification of H-2. This rating is based on the amount of flammable gas
and liquids carried in the equipment and piping within the enclosures. Although buildings with an
H-2 occupancy rating are normally required to have an automatic sprinkler system, Chevron is
proposing to protect these facilities with a non-water-based emergency system in accordance with
the exemptions allowed in IBC Section 903.3.1.1.1.
The design and construction of the process building enclosures have been conducted after
identifying and taking into account the hazards associated with the types of equipment and
materials contained within the enclosure. The design and construction standards utilized are more
stringent than required by current industry codes and standards. The enclosures are constructed of
noncombustible materials and have fire and gas detection systems specifically designed for the
gas processing industry. The egress requirements of IBC Chapter 10 and the NFPA Life Safety
Code requirements are also incorporated into the design.

This philosophy identifies the design parameters utilized to engineer equipment enclosures that
meet the requirements of the IBC for buildings with an H-2 rating but without an automatic
sprinkler system.
3.0 SCOPE
This document only analyzes those equipment enclosures located at the Central Processing
Facility in Chevron's Piceance Basin Development. It focuses on those enclosures with an H-2
rating by identifying the hazards within the enclosure and the design measures used to mitigate
those hazards to personnel who may be present at the time of an incident.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
The parameters utilized in the design and construction of the equipment enclosures covered by
this philosophy adequately protect personnel from the hazards due to the presence of
hydrocarbons in the enclosure, without employing automatic sprinkler systems.
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
All enclosures covered by this philosophy should be built and installed as designed. Additionally,
operational and maintenance procedures should be implemented to ensure that all safety systems
are tested and maintained in accordance with IBC and International Fire Code (IFC)
requirements.

7.0 FACILITY DESIGN PARAMETERS
The CPF is designed to be an unmanned facility. The control system is specifically designed to
ensure that in the case of a significant event, all instrumentation fails safe, the main electrical feed
to the affected area is shut off, incoming hydrocarbon flow to the facility is blocked at the battery
limit (boundary) of the facility, and the bulk of the hydrocarbon inventory in the facility is
depressured to the facility's flare system. Although some limited portion of the piping and some
vessels within the plant may have a residual gas pressure after the shutdown, virtually all fuel
sources within the facility will be immediately shut off.
The CPF does not have water available for fire suppression activities. Additionally, no local fire
water system exists to provide for tie-in for CPF fire suppression systems.
8.0 FLAMMABLE HYDROCARBON INVENTORY
8.1 Liquid Inventory
The primary fire hazard within the enclosures listed in Table I is related to hydrocarbons
processed within the facility. In addition to various volumes of natural gas, these
buildings will contain various quantities of hydrocarbon condensates (condensates are
flammable hydrocarbon liquids that condense out of the gas stream when the gas is
exposed to typical ambient temperature and pressure).
The hydrocarbon condensate liquid contained in most of the process buildings in Table 1
is a Class !A flammable liquid (its flash point is less than 73•p and its boiling point is
less than 100.F). The exempt quantity of Class !A liquids, per the IBC, is 30 gallons. The
exempt quantity for flammable gases in the IBC is 1000 standard cubic feet, which is
exceeded in each of the building enclosures. Due to the inventory of flammable materials
located in each enclosure, a rating of H-2 for each of the enclosures and compressor
building is warranted. Fire protection methods based on this occupancy classification are
further discussed below.

9.0 FACILITY AND ENCLOSURE DESIGN PARAMETERS
9.1 General
Almost all of the process building enclosures will contain some amount of hydrocarbon
condensate liquid, which is produced from the wellhead along with the lighter natural gas
components. Some of the individual unit processes are specifically designed to remove

these flammable liquids and transfer them to holding tanks elsewhere within the plant.
The volumes of flammable liquids in many of these enclosures exceed the IBC thresholds
at which a building is classified as H-2. These volumes may increase the fire hazard
within each enclosure to some degree, but do not change the overall philosophy of our
proposed fire protection program.
9.2 All flammable liquids and gases within the enclosures are totally contained within the
process piping and ASME-rated pressure vessels. An automatic fire and gas detection
system is provided to detect any leaks or fires.
9.3 In the event of a fire anywhere within the CPF, the facility is depressured to the flare to
remove the bulk of the flammable gas sources from the fire. Any remaining hydrocarbon
liquid would initially be protected and contained within the process piping and/or
vessel(s) in which it resides within the enclosure. The rate at which the hydrocarbon
liquid would contribute to the ongoing fire would depend upon the amount of damage in
the containing piping/vessel(s). If the containment is damaged or breached, the materials
would burn in place along with the remaining gaseous components. The relative volumes
of gas and liquids being burned, and access to the fire of an oxidizing airflow, would
determine the extent to which the liquid boils in place as it contributes to the fire.
9.4 Although a combination liquid-and-gas fire might burn hotter and longer than a pure gas
fire, the fundamental principle behind our proposed fire protection system is unchanged.
The system is designed to contain the fire and allow it to burn out in place. There is no
need to attempt to suppress the fire with a water-based sprinkler system. It would likely
cause a more substantial hazard by allowing the remaining flammable gases to form a
combustible cloud capable of re-ignition until allowed to dissipate.
9.5 It would also be undesirable for the fire department to attempt to put out the fire within
an enclosure prior to the consumption of the fuel exposed to the fire. As mentioned
above, the remaining gaseous components, along with liquid components that are
vaporized due to the heat of the fire, would be dangerous and subject to re-ignition. (See
sections 13.3.4 and 13.3.5 for details of this hazard.)
9.6 A closed drain system is provided that removes all liquid from the enclosure's coaming
area to a remote underground sump tank. The drain system incorporates P-traps to
prevent flammable gases from venting into the enclosure. Liquids collected in the
underground sump are subsequently pumped into the facility's above-ground storage
tanks.
10.0 CONSTRUCTION
Each enclosure has the following construction attributes:
10.1 All hazardous gases and liquids within each enclosure are housed in self-contained
process piping and/or pressure-rated vessels. Piping is designed and constructed in
accordance with ANSI B3l.3 requirements for gas facilities of this type. All pressure
vessels are designed in accordance with applicable ASME Section VIII requirements for
these vessels.
10.2 Process piping and vessels are designed to contain all materials with no significant
leakage. A fire and gas detection system is specifically designed for each enclosure to

detect the presence of hydrocarbons in the air or a fire event, and will initiate emergency
shutdown systems within the plant upon detection of a significant amount of
hydrocarbons. (Details ofthis system are described in the following sections.)
10.3 Each enclosure is constructed entirely of noncombustible materials.
10.4 Additionally, all equipment, piping, instrumentation, junction boxes, panel boards and
cable within the enclosure are also noncombustible or flame-retardant.
10.5 Adequate access/egress is provided to allow safe evacuation from the enclosure in the
event of a fire or gas release in compliance with IBC and NFP A Life Safety Code
requirements. These criteria include the provision of at least two means of egress from
any building with travel distance to an exit greater than 25 feet. No dead-end corridors
are allowed in any of the buildings greater than 20 feet.
10.6 Ventilation is provided to the enclosure in compliance with IMC requirements.
10.7 Panic door hardware and emergency exit lighting are provided in compliance with IBC.
10.8 To prevent electrical ignition of hydrocarbon vapors, all electrical components on the
process skids are explosion-proof and rated for service in Class I, Group D, Division I
atmospheres as rated by API RP 500, and each component is certified as such by a
Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). All 208V AC and 120V AC wiring
and equipment within each process skid are wired to an on-skid explosion-proof
panelboard. All equipment in the compressor building is rated for Class I, Division 2.
(The distinction is a result of the presence of the combustion engines driving the
compressors.)
10.9 Although the enclosures are designed to be safe when continuously occupied, the
facilities in practice will be normally unoccupied. Personnel only occupy an enclosure
with the doors open when conducting equipment monitoring and observance activities.
10.10 The operational activities typically require personnel in the enclosure for less than 15
minutes on any given day. Any maintenance activities within the facility will be
conducted under stringent safety protocols, including additional fire suppression
equipment and personnel being present.
10.11 Operational procedures at the plant prohibit the accumulation of any combustible
materials within the enclosure.
10.12 The design of the site surrounding each enclosure incorporates a significant barrier zone
covered with noncombustible gravel and no vegetation. Additionally, the site has
significant security measures in place, and no admittance to the general public is allowed.
10.13 All enclosures and the process control and safety systems that interface with them were
designed using Chevron's "Offshore Gulf of Mexico" standards and design criteria.
Chevron considers these standards to be more stringent than most onshore standards,
leading to a more conservative design.
11.0 FIRE AND GAS DETECTION
Each enclosure is equipped with the following fire and gas detection technology, in strict
compliance with the IFC and API RP 500:

Page 9of14
11.1 Infrared point gas detectors which are tied to a central monitoring system will initiate
shutdown of electrical service and hydrocarbon flow to and from the enclosure when gas
is detected. These detectors are set to alarm when flammable gas at a concentration of
20% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) is detected. A complete shutdown of power and
hydrocarbon flow to the enclosure is initiated when flammable gas at 40% of LEL is
detected. All detection and monitoring equipment used at the site is listed by a Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). See Appendix B.
11.2 A pneumatic fusible loop system consisting of stainless steel tubing pressurized with 40
psig instrument air, and including elements which will melt at 180"F, is provided on all
hydrocarbon processing equipment per API RP 500. This system is equipped with a
pressure sensor that is tied to a central monitoring system. A loss of pressure in the loop
will indicate the affected enclosure and will shut down hydrocarbon flow to and from the
enclosure and throughout the CPF and will initiate depressurization of the affected
facilities to a dedicated flare. See Appendix A.
11.3 "Triple-infrared" fire detectors have been instalied in each enclosure, and when a fire is
detected, a programmable logic controller (PLC) will shut down the flow of
hydrocarbons to and from the enclosure, as well as throughout the CPF. The bulk of the
hydrocarbon inventories throughout the CPF will be depressured to a dedicated flare.
(Some minor residual amounts of gas under pressure will still be present in some vessels
and piping sections outside of the building enclosures.) Triple-infrared photo-electric
flame detectors (known as 'fire eyes' in the gas processing industry) will be installed in all
H-2 occupancy buildings and will be tied to the fire alarm systems described above.
11.4 The triple-infrared open-path fire detector system is independent from and redundant
with the pneumatic fusible loop system, and both of these systems are independent from
the gas detection system.
11.5 Note that the types of detectors described above in Sections 11.1 through 11.3 are
provided in lieu of the smoke detector system outlined in IBC Section 903.3 .1.1.1. The
primary reason for this is that there are no commercially available weatherproof smoke
detectors that are rated for Class I, Division 1 service.
12.0 FIRE SUPPRESSION
For these process enclosures, the flammable content hazard located within these enclosures is
primarily pressurized natural gas. The experience within the petroleum industry is that a typical
water-based sprinkler system cannot extinguish a pressurized gas fire, and in fact can create more
of a hazard than it mitigates.
The standard of the natural gas industry, as codified in API RP 500, is that suppression of a
pressurized natural gas fire is best accomplished by immediately shutting off all incoming sources
of fuel and venting all other inventories of fuel to a flare system. The remaining non-pressurized
gas, along with any associated hydrocarbon liquid, is allowed to burn itself out.
For manual suppression of small fires on a limited basis, each enclosure is equipped with hand-
held 30-lb Class ABC fire extinguishers located at each door.

13.1.1 IBC 2003 normally requires an automatic fire sprinkler system for all H-2
occupancies.
13.1.2 All of the process buildings in this project are classified as H-2 due to the large
volume of hazardous materials.
13 .1.3 However, these buildings qualify as exempt from this requirement per IBC
903.3.1.1.1 Exempt Locations. Comments applicable to the facility under
discussion are listed parenthetically following the code citation.
IBC 903.3.1.1.1. Exempt Locations .... Automatic sprinklers shall not be required
in the following rooms or areas where such rooms or areas are protected with an
approved automatic fire detection system in accordance with Section 907.2 that
will respond to visible or invisible particles of combustion. (In these facilities, an
API-compliant gas detection system is installed and designed to respond to
concentrations of flammable gas before any combustion takes place.)
Sprinklers shall not be omitted from any room merely because it is damp, of fire-
resistance-rated construction or contains electrical equipment
I. Any room where the application of water, or flame and water, constitutes a
serious life or fire hazard.
(This is true for these facilities. Water sprayed on a pressurized gas fire is
unlikely to stop the fire, and could add an explosive hazard due to an unburned
gas cloud if it did put out the fire momentarily.)
2. Any room or space where sprinklers are considered undesirable because of
the nature of the contents, when approved by the building official.
(This is true for these facilities. Because of the nature of the contents -
pressurized natural gas -the petroleum industry standard for safety is to mitigate
the risk with an API-RP500 compliant gas detection & emergency shutdown
system.)
3. Generator or transformer room ... Not Applicable
4. In rooms or areas that are of noncombustible construction with wholly
noncombustible contents.
(This exemption is partially true of the operating buildings in discussion. The
buildings are of noncombustible construction, although the hydrocarbon contents
within the process piping and vessels are combustible. However, upon detection
of fire, the process equipment is depressured and all flammable gases are vented
to the flare except for trace amounts remaining in the pipes at atmospheric
pressure.)

13.1.4 IBC Discussion
13.2 IMC
1n summary, it is believed the buildings proposed for the Chevron CPF are
exactly the type of facility envisioned by the code writers when developing this
exemption. There is no question that these facilities contain hazardous flammable
materials, but application of a water-based sprinkler system would be
counterproductive, and would create more safety hazards than it would solve. A
far more desirable solution is the substitution of a fire and gas-hazard detection
and emergency shutdown system specifically developed for this industry by the
API. With the concurrence of the Building Official and Fire Marshall of Garfield
County regarding this exemption, the proposed facilities will be in total
compliance with the intent and with the specific language incorporated into the
IBC, IFC and related International codes.
Each of the process equipment enclosures includes either fixed or manually operable
louvers which make the use of non-water sprinkler (gaseous, dry chemical, carbon
dioxide, foam, etc.) fire suppression systems problematic. Louvers are provided in
compliance with the IMC, which mandates adequate ventilation for rooms containing
hazardous materials. Additionally, standard practice in the gas processing industry is to
provide such ventilation to allow flammable gases to disperse, ideally before hazardous
accumulations of the gases accumulate within the building. The reasoning within our
industry, as codified in API documents, is that ventilating the gas is much safer than
trying to contain it within the building and suppress any fires with a non-water based
suppression system.
13.3 API
The Chevron CPF is designed in its entirety to be in total compliance with applicable
standards of the American Petroleum lnstitute.
13.3.1 API RP 500, as detailed above, provides the design standards and details for a
gas detection system specifically designed to prevent the accumulation of
hazardous levels of flammable and explosive gases as applicable to our industry.
13.3.2 API RP 14G Section 5.7.d "Automatic Fire Control Systems -Enclosed
Machinery Areas" indicates "Gas compressors, hydrocarbon pumps, and
generators in adequately ventilated enclosed areas are normally not protected by
automatic fire control systems."
13.3.3 API RP14G Section 5.6.c "Manual Fire Control Systems-Enclosed Machinery
Areas" recommends dry chemical fire extinguishers and these are provided in
each enclosure.
13.3.4 API RP2030 specifically discusses the hazards of attempting to suppress a
flammable liquid or gas fire with water in two sections:
6.4 EXTINGUISHMENT. ... Extinguishment by water spray is generally most
effective where the fuel is a combustible solid, water-soluble liquid or high flash
point liquid. However, the risks associated with extinguishing certain fires should
be carefully evaluated. If significant quantities of flammable gases or vapors are

released a more hazardous condition with potential for explosive re-ignition can
be created by extinguishing such fires instead of allowing them to burn at a
controlled rate with appropriate surveillance and protection of surrounding
equipment.
7 .2.3 Extinguishment. Extinguishment is seldom the primary purpose of water
spray system installations in the petroleum industry ... It should be noted that
extinguishment of low flash point hydrocarbon liquids with water spray is seldom
possible and not necessarily desirable. A key question during hazard analysis is
"If the material is extinguished while still generating vapor, is there a risk of
vapor cloud re-ignition?" (The answer is yes at this facility.)
13.3.5 API Publication 2510A is primarily geared towards the liquefied Petroleum gas
industry, but has relevant information for fighting pressurized gas fires.
Per Table 5-Water -Application Methods:
.. One disadvantage of water deluge and water sprays is that they ... may not be
effective for jet (torch) fires.
Also Section 5.5 Detection Systems gives general guidance on hydrocarbon
vapor detectors, heat detectors and flame detectors. This facility includes all three
systems, and complies with the guidance of this document.
13.3.6 Fire fighting and suppression standards in the oil and gas industry vary from
standard industrial, high rise, and low rise practices. The engineering standards
employed in the design of hydrocarbon equipment are conservative and attempt
to contain hydrocarbon inventories within the equipment. However, in the event
of a leak, the design of the external areas surrounding the equipment are designed
to quickly isolate the leak, depressure the equipment, prevent the spread of the
hydrocarbon leak, minimize the propagation of any fire event, maintain
mechanical integrity through inventory liquidation without catastrophic failure,
and minimize exposure to personnel and environment. Chevron SOPs require
facility personnel to not engage in fire fighting beyond the incipient stage. The
facility and the enclosures have been designed within these parameters.

1.0 GAS DETECTION SYSTEM OPERATING DETAILS
REV:O
Page 13 of14
1.1 Each equipment enclosure is provided with a combustible gas detection system listed by
a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) which exceeds the requirements of
API Recommended Practice RP14C. The gas detection sensor is wired to the facility
Emergency Shutdown System (ESS).
1.2 When the gas detector in an equipment enclosure detects the presence of gas at 20%
Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), it performs the following functions:
• Indicates on the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) video screens in the Control
Room
• Indicates on the HMI on the nine (9) outdoor Local Control Panels
• Activates a dedicated alarm on the audible alarm system
• The 24VDC control system on the skid remains energized, and the skid remains
in operation.
1.3 When the gas detector in an enclosure detects the presence of gas at 40% LEL, it
performs the following functions:
• Indicates on the HMI video screens in the Control Room
• Indicates on the HMI on the nine (9) outdoor Local Control Panels
• Activates a dedicated alarm on the audible alarm system
• Trips off the AC power feed to that enclosure's explosion-proof panelboard at its
source in the Electrical Building.
• Shuts off all hydrocarbon flow to the enclosure from the source outside of the
enclosure
• Shutdown valves which shut off hydrocarbon flow are fail-safe, pneumatically
operated, and will also close upon safety system failure or loss of air pressure to
the fusible loop system.
• The 24VDC control system on the skid remains energized, but the skid remains
shut off from hydrocarbon flow until the shutdown is manually reset by the
Control Room operator.
1.4 The gas detection system shall be tested and recalibrated every 3 months in accordance
with 30 CFR Chapter II Part 250.804 "Production safety-system testing and records." The
gas detection system that is proposed will be certified by an NRTL to fully comply with
this standard and with the system design details contained within API RP 500.

1.0 EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURE FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM OPERATING DETAILS
1.1 Each equipment enclosure is provided with a pneumatic fusible plug loop fire detection
system which exceeds the requirements of API Recommended Practice RP14C. A
pressure transmitter, wired to the facility Emergency Shutdown System (ESS), monitors
the fusible loop's pneumatic pressure.
1.2 When a fusible plug inside of the equipment enclosure melts in the presence of a fire, the
pressure transmitter detects the loss of air pressure in the fusible loop system and signals
the ESS which performs the following functions:
• Indicates on the HMI video screens in the Control Room
• Indicates on the HMI on the nine (9) outdoor Local Control Panels
• Activates a dedicated alarm on the audible alarm system
• Trips off the AC power feed to that enclosure's explosion-proof panelboard at its
source in the Electrical Building.
• Shuts off all hydrocarbon flow to the entire facility
• Shutdown valves which shut off hydrocarbon flow are fail-safe, pneumatically
operated, and will also close upon safety system failure or loss of air pressure to
the fusible loop system.
• The 24VDC control system on the skid remains energized, but the skid remains
shut off from hydrocarbon flow until the shutdown is manually reset by the
Control Room operator.
• Depressures the bulk of the natural gas process lines and vessels within the
facility to the flare. (Some sections of piping and vessels outside of the building
enclosures, such as the glycol reboiler, may have minor amounts of residual gas
under pressure.)
1.3 Each of the enclosures rated for H-2 occupancy will also be equipped with triple infrared
flame detectors ("fire eyes") per section 8.3 and pneumatic fusible loop system per
section 8.2.
1.4 Because the enclosures are exposed to ambient weather and Class I, Division 1
conditions, and because there are no commercially available weatherproof smoke
detectors rated for Class I, Division 1 service, smoke detection systems will not be
installed in this facility. Instead, our design philosophy is to use gas detection to detect
the presence of a potentially dangerous atmospheric hazard and, in parallel, to use two
different technologies (triple infrared flame detection and pneumatic fusible heat
detection.) We propose the API-RP500 methodology of detecting the gases and shutting
down the plant upon detection of dangerous levels of flammable gas.
