OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
2. BASIS OF PHILOSOPHY
2.1. Health
Health hazards shall be identified (such as chemicals, toxic material, noise and heat
etc) and appropriate means incorporated into the design to minimise the risk to
personnel from these hazards.
A database of all hazardous materials shall be established during the detailed design
phase of this project. This database shall include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
for all chemicals to be used on the RU, and shall be available electronically and in hard
copy.
A separate safety management system for handling/storing and treating exposure to
hazardous materials/chemicals shall be developed during the detailed design phase of
this project.
A person qualified to act as a paramedic shall be present on the RU at all times.
Asbestos or materials containing asbestos, tar-coal epoxy coatings and heavy metals
shall not be used in the design of or during the operation of the RU.
Personnel shall not be subjected to passive smoking.
2.2. Safety
The design and operation of the RU shall conform to the requirements of the relevant
local laws and regulation and applicable codes and standards. The safety in design
philosophy shall be one of identification of potential hazards under normal perceived
operating circumstances and designing to reduce the risk from these hazards to
ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practical).
2.3. Environment
The RU shall meet the local regulation and company requirements in relation to
environmental management. An environmental management plan shall be developed
during detailed design phase of this project, which shall outline any conditions imposed
by local regulators in relation to environmental management.
A design and operating philosophy of energy conservation shall be pursued where
practical.
The use of halons or ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs) is prohibited.
Alternatives shall be used which have less effect on the environment (ozone layer).
Flare system is the preferred method to dispose of process vent gases on the RU.
However, if cold venting is proposed then CONTRACTOR shall undertake dispersion
modeling of the vent gases to verify that the system shall meet all safety requirements.
Operational flaring/venting shall be minimised. The operational design approach of the
RU shall be to limit flaring/venting to ALARP.

8.3. Blowdown
Blowdown and release of gas and liquid to the flare system is not expected to be a
common occurrence. The process shall be designed to retain all fluids within the
equipment under all operating conditions.
Blowdown is expected to occur mainly due to events external to the process e.g. fire
and gas alarm, maintenance etc. Blowdown shall be constrained to hydrocarbon
bearing equipment such as vaporisers, LNG pumps, BOG compression and gas
export.
Emergency blowdown shall comply with the requirements of API STD 521 and sent to
the flare system for disposal. Blowdown of liquid sources shall be minimised;
blowdown of vapour streams is preferred.

OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
It is intended to be used for control, monitoring and safeguarding the RU facilities. The
system architecture proposed for the ICSS shall be defined in a Control, SIS and FGS
System Architecture Block Diagram during the early stages of the detailed design
phase of the project. SIS and FSG shall be SIL3 rated.
Although the ICSS shall comprise of a PCS, SIS and FGS as separate stand alone
systems, they shall be integrated seamlessly without duplication of functions.
The ICSS architecture and hardware shall be based on conventional, latest state of the
art, distributed control system with safeguarding system of a fault tolerant, TUV
approved system.
System architecture shall be for optimum multiple communication and multi-supplier
interoperability without extensive and costly application programming.
A Management Information System (MIS) highway shall be configured to provide an
upper level monitoring, supervisory and data exchange functionality with other users.
This network shall use TCP/IP over Ethernet bridges. The network and its Ethernet
bridges shall be dual redundant.
The SIS and FGS systems being a sub-system of the ICSS shall meet the
requirements of COMPANY specifications for SIS and fire and gas system design.
OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
safety, the environment or the operation of the combined facilities. The design shall
maintain simplicity in system operation; and shall facilitate diagnostics and
faultfinding of operational issues or the maintenance of equipment.
The system equipment shall be selected based upon well proven design, service
history, reliability and integrity. All system equipment shall be standardised, wherever
possible and practical, with the equipment installed on the RU.
Field devices certified for use in hazardous areas shall utilise Ex d (explosion proof)
methods of protection wherever possible and practical.
The general philosophy shall be to utilise Foundation Field Bus (FFB) field devices
for all PCS field devices where appropriate. FFB field devices shall not be used for
accommodation/utility/marine systems services and on the SIS or FGS. The use of
FFB instrumentation for packaged equipment shall be dependant on each vendors
standard.
Offloading System;
Marine Systems
Fibre-optic, multi-core cable shall be utilised for the data links, as it provides faster
data communications, is much more resistant to signal interference and is generally
now the Vendors standard data transmission cable type.
Unit Control Panels (UCP) for packaged equipment shall be utilised to operate major
items of plant equipment; with the SIS and FGS inputs and logic in the RU SIS and
FGS systems.
a. UCPs for new packaged equipment shall be PLC based and use a common
hardware and software as specified by COMPANY. In addition, status and
alarm monitoring, shall also be provided in PCS;
Page 18 of 28
OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
b. In the event that a vendor does not offer the above common PLC equipment,
COMPANYs approval shall be sought for the proposed PLC system;
c. Local display shall be provided as part of the UCP for control, monitoring and
diagnostics of the packaged equipment.

OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
Ethernet based MIS information domain. The workstation shall be able to work as
server to clients in the MIS connected to Ethernet LAN.
The controllers are stand alone process control and data acquisition systems and
interface the field signals to the communication network via I/O termination
assemblies, I/O modules, control processors and network communication modules.
Interfaces to the SIS and FGS shall be carried out on a common control/SIS
Highway. The requirements for this highway shall be addressed in an Emergency
Shutdown System Operating Philosophy to be developed during the detailed design
phase of this project.
It shall also have the capability for on-line modification of measurement and
control parameters, without impact on the running system; and

11.2.2. Accessibility
Good access shall be provided to items of equipment which require frequent (more
than once per year) testing, inspection or maintenance. This shall also apply to the
permanent handling/lifting devices (such as beams, pad eyes) installed for equipment
removal.
Scaffolding or other temporary fixtures shall be used where equipment testing,
inspection or maintenance is less frequent (greater than 2-years).

12.2. Servicing
The optimum means of servicing equipment shall be carefully assessed against
maximising RU availability. The servicing options, which shall be evaluated, are:
a. Maintain/repair onsite or in the facility workshop; and
b. Remove equipment and repair onshore.
Consistent with the philosophy of minimum staffing, onshore repair or maintenance
shall be pursued. Additionally the option of vendors providing full or part servicing of
equipment shall be reviewed during the design to determine the optimum strategy.

12.7. Certification
Early in the detailed design phase, the Certifying Authority shall be appointed. The
work scope definition for the Certifying Authority shall be developed in consultation
with the appropriate government department.
An integrated approach shall be developed whereby the Certifying Authority, design
and operations team work together to achieve the desired level of technical integrity.
