2 PROCEDURE
2.1 PREPARATION
2.1.1 Leave receiving wet tank after YP21 for 4 hours to allow for tank Panel man 1
settlement.
2.1.2 Check PCMS and ENTIS tank gauging display o n t h e t a nk l e v e l a n d Panel man 1
determine the water level and volume.
2.1.4 Check tank density profile using ENTIS to determine the emulsion level Panel man 1
and volume in tank.
2.1.5 Calculate the duration to drain the water and emulsion from the tank. Panel man 1
NOTE:
• Tank will require longer settling time if there are poor crude, water
and emulsion separation from offshore fields.
2.1.8 Line-up tank water drain line to 16” header to Oily Water Pit (OWP). Area operator
Refer to Figure 1: Wet Tanks
2.1.9 Adjust OWP oil skimmers to skim position and check that the oily water Area operator
pumps and oil transfer pumps are operational.
2.2.1 Set level alarm on ENTIS to trigger at required level, in order to prevent over Panel man
draining and oil carry over.
NOTE:
• Water level to be drained, depends on water quality, is set between
300-1000mm below water emulsion contact.
• Under or over injection of dehydration chemicals offshore result in
poor emulsion separation which affect water quality and draining
operation.
2.2.2 Open tank side water drain line manual valves. Area operator
2.2.3 Open tank water drain line EOV from CCR. Panel man 1
NOTE:
• Wet tanks water and emulsion drain lines EOVs are interlocked to
EOVs of crude oil inlet and outlet of tanks.
• Simultaneous water draining operations are possible from group of
small tanks (T67, T72, T73, T74, T75, and T76) and from group of big
tanks (T-77, T78, T79, and T90).
• Refer Table1: Receiving Tanks SFH, maximum level, capacity
CAUTION:
IN EVENT OF AREA OPERATOR REQUIRED TO MANUALLY
OPERATE THE EOV:
• PANEL MAN NEED TO ENSURE CORRECT EOV NO.
COMMUNICATED TO AREA OPERATOR
• AREA OPERATOR NEED TO VERIFY CORRECT EOV NO. PRIOR
TO OPERATING VALVE
2.2.4 Monitor tank level and water level from CCR ENTIS. Panel man 1
2.2.5 Continuous monitoring during draining at oily water pit inlet to avoid over Watcher
drain
2.2.6 Close tank water drain EOV once the emulsion is detected in the water Panel man 1
sample. Stop water draining.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT OVER DRAIN; IT WILL IMPACT THE EFFLUENT
DISCHARGE WATER QUALITY.
NOTE:
• Operations of EOV, tank side valves are recorded in the log book at
CCR.
2.3.1 Set level alarm on CCR ENTIS to trigger at required level, in order to Panel man 1
prevent over draining.
2.3.2 Line up tank emulsion drain line to the respective header, emulsion Area
transfer pumps and slop tanks. operator/
Watcher
2.3.3 Ensure tank side drain manual valves are open. Area operator
2.3.4 Open tank emulsion drain line EOV from CCR. Panel man 1
2.3.5 Commence tank emulsion draining by transferring emulsion to slop tanks Area operator
T-1680/90 via emulsion transfer pumps (P-12/13/14/6961). / Panel man 1
NOTE:
• Wet tanks water and emulsion drain lines EOVs are interlocked to
EOVs of crude oil inlet and outlet of tanks.
2.3.6 Monitor tank level and emulsion level from CCR. Panel man 1
2.3.7 Visual check emulsion sample for oil content from sampling points before Area
reaching the required level. operator/
Watcher
NOTE:
• Close EOV emulsion drain valve from CCR in event of crude oil carry
over to slop tank.
• Do not over drain crude to slop tanks.
2.3.10 Close tank emulsion drain line EOV from CCR. Panel man 1
NOTE:
• Operations of EOV, tank side valves are recorded in the panel man
log book at CCR.
• Export crude quality can be improved by over draining but it will
reduce Slop Oil treatment tank ullage.
2.3.12 Fiscalise tank upon completion of draining. Take samples from Top, Area operator
Middle, Bottom and 1 foot reference sample for lab to analyze the crude
quality.
NOTE:
• Tank is ready for inter-tank transfer or export.
