following:

(a) All local instruments are to be provided with weatherproof

enclosure.

(b) The cleaning of filter should be initiated by timer in addition to

the differential pressure across filters. Filter sections shall be
cleaned sequentially such that with one filter section under
cleaning the remaining section should be able to filter the
required air without affecting the efficiency and pressure drop.

(c) Controls required for the compressed air system including that of
the dryer should be specified.

3.2.16 Specify the following parameters in line with ARAMCO specification,

for the filtration system.

(a) Design pressure shall be at least + 300 mm WC

(b) NaCl capture efficiency

(c) Velocity of air

(d) Initial and stabilised pressure drop

(e) Number of filter elements cleaned during cleaning cycle.

(f) Design pressure for pulse air system.

3.2.17 For installation in dust prone area, Bidders shall be given choice to
offer pre-filters as optional items. However economics of providing
pre-filters shall be established.

3.2.18 Bidders shall be given choice to offer vertical or horizontal filter

orientation.
