Shut down Procedure

1. Introduction

The units included in both sections of CPF gas & liquid, shall be shutdown according to the
following sequence:

a) Shut down preparation (During normal operation)

b) Reduce feed flow to plant at 25-30% of the design maximum throughput (i.e.
turndown conditions) and recycle gas. Gas system remains on line at 60%;
c) Reduce equipment liquid level;
d) Stop feed flow from wells.
e) Stop gas section;
f) Stop liquid section;
g) First isolation;
h) Depressurization;
i) Draining;
a) Level of liquids in hereunder items lowered as much as possible:

 Off-Spec Oil Storage Tank RL-22-04;

 Off-Spec Condensate Storage Tank RL-35-02;
 Off-Spec LPG Storage Tank RD-33-02;
 Closed Drain Drum VD-57-01/2.

b) Reduction of operative levels in the units to the lowest operational level;

c) Few hours leading up to the shutdown levels of ON spec Oil and Condensate
storage tanks have to be minimised as much as possible. (All On spec. liquids
have to be exported) ;
d) Few hours, before to start the reduction of feed, residual LPG stored in ON spec
spheres in standby has to be retreated;
e) Residual LPG, stored in the last one sphere in filling, has to be exported
immediately after the cut of feed.

2. Feed reduction & Cold down

a) Reduce quickly feed of raw gas to turn down rate 25-30% from wells with the closure of
wells via DCS (Throttling choke valves and closure of manual vales of well heads will be
performed later on by Puit dept.) (Cut of raw gas has to be done quickly in the aim to
minimise production of liquids and to minimise saturation of OFF spec facilities)

b) Put in Hold sequences of regenerations and stop duty of hot oil to GA 24-03 A/B and GA
32-04 A/B (Regenerator compressor has to be kept in service to cold down the equipment
used for the service of regeneration)

 Align sequences of regeneration of LPG beds in the aim to avoid heating phase
during the activities of Feed reduction and shutdown of CPF (Both vessels have to
be kept in low temperature)
 Align sequences of regeneration of Gas beds in the aim to avoid heating phase
during the activities of Feed reduction and shutdown of CPF (All vessels have to be
kept in low temperature)

Align sequences in the aim to have also 1 gas bed regenerated (cold down phase
completed) Sequence of regeneration will start after the pressurization of system 24 in the
aim to perform the regeneration of the second beds before to feed gas in the system 25

Shut down Procedure

c) Stop Expander in the aim to warm up cryogenic unit with the residual feed of gas.
Switch of Operation from Expander mode to J-T Valve mode.

d) Reduce / cut the heating of furnaces.

e) Reduce/close as soon as possible duty and temperature of Hot oil to re-boilers units 21,
25, 28 and 32 in order to cold down re-boilers and columns.
(At the same time reduce again the heating of furnaces until the shutdown of all burners)

(Reduce the delivery of hot oil in relation at the new density of hot oil (Low temperature)
When Temperature in hot oil network became low open for few minutes re-boilers of unit
21,25,28 and 32 in the aim to cold down also dead branches of network.

Stop Hot oil pump and avoid PSD of CPF

g) Cut the feed of gas inlet unit 28 and keep amine circulation in service to cold down
regeneration section of unit 28 until ambient temperature.
(Temperature profile must decreasing in a progressive manner in the aim avoid thermal
shocks to the exchangers)

h) Reduce residual feed of gas from wells until zero and stop the export gas compressor

i) Stop Off gas compressor and Regeneration gas compressor (without depressurization of
unit 24)

Before start to depressurize the CPF is important to override all following pressure and level
controller:

 Override slug catcher low low pressure interlock
 Override MZLN1-9 low low pressure interlock
 Override CAFC wells low low pressure interlock
 Override slug catcher low low level interlock
 Override export line low low pressure interlock
[Force 20 PI 00001A/B/C (2oo3)]
[Force 20 PI 01C003A/B/C (2oo3)]
[Force 20 PI 01C001A/B/C (2oo3)]
[Force 20 LI 00001A/B/C (2oo3)]
[Force 27 PI 00007A/B/C (2oo3)]

Please confirm that no other pilots can generate PSD during the next phase of
depressurization

3. Fuel gas back up

Put in service fuel gas back up system in the aim to ensure the fully availability of flares
during the phases of depressurization and inerting of all CPF.
(Ref. to Operative instruction attached)
