1. SCOPE

- NIOEC standard specifications cover the general requirements for detailed engineering
procurements, testing inspection & construction of refinery/oil plant, distribution depots,
pump stations and pipe lines.

- This specification defines the scope of work and procedures to be used in the acid brick lining
of the neutralization pits.

2. REFERENCES

Throughout this Specification the following dated and undated standards/codes are referred to
these referenced documents shall, to the extent specified here form a port of this Specification.
For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
supplements and amendments) applies. For dated references, the edition cited applies.
The applicability of changes in dated references that occur after the cited date, shall mutually
be agreed upon by NIOEC and Vender / Contractor.

ASTM ( AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND MATERIALS )

ASTM-C-279 “ Chemical Resistant Brick ”

ASTM-C-410 “ (Chemical Resistant Brick Absorption Specification) ”

NIOEC-SP ( NIOEC SPECIFICATION )

NIOEC-SP-00-10 “ NIOEC Specification for Units ”

3. UNITS

International system of unites (SI) shall be used in accordance with NIOEC-SP-00-10, unless
otherwise specified.

4. GENERAL

- The contractor shall furnish all tools, equipment, facilities, scaffolding temporary guys and
braces, etc. and shall perform all labor and services necessary for the proper execution and
completion of asphalt interlinear membrane and acid brick lining for concrete pits as shown on
the drawings.

5. MATERIALS

Materials shall be as shown on the referenced drawings and shall include:

5.1 Asphaltic Membrane System.

5.1.1 Chemical resistant asphaltic primer.

5.1.2 Cold troweled acid proof membrane.

Type L chemical resistant brick, scored (3) or (4) edges, meeting absorption
specifications per ASTM-C-279 and ASTM-C-410. Brick shall be (200 mm x 95 mm x
60 mm (8" x 3-3/4" x 2-1/4") .
Chemical resistant mortar shall be silica free furan resin meeting ASTM Specification
Standards C-306, C-307, and C-413.

6. PROCEDURE

6.1 The Supervisor Inspection

- The supervisor shall inspect areas to be lined to assure that surfaces are free of loose
particles, dirt, oil, grease, ridges, depressions, cracks and is thoroughly dry.

6.2 Concrete surfaces

The contractor shall oversee application of asphalt membrane system, and chemical resistant
brick as shown on the drawings and in accordance with the following procedure:

6.2.1 After the concrete surface has been inspected and found to be acceptable, apply a
single coat of asphalt primer to the entire concrete surface leaving absolutely no holes.
Asphalt primer should be applied with a stiff brush. Allow primer to dry for a
minimum of (8) hours, keeping dust or dirt away from the surface.

6.2.2 Apply cold troweled acid proof membrane using a squeegee to minimum thickness of
3 mm (1/8") in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Do not apply
asphalt at temperatures below 40° F (4° C) or over damp concrete.

6.2.3 Chemical resistant brick,200 mm x 95 mm x 60 mm (8 x 3-3/4 x 2-14") scored (4)

edges for floors and walls shall be laid over the dry asphalt membrane using chemical
resistant mortar. Bonded construction for brickwork shall be used. Floors and walls
shall be 60 mm (2-1/4") thick.

6.2.4 Brick laying – Apply mortar bed joint directly to the membrane or to lower course of
brick. Butter each brick and press into place tapping with the trowel handle to insure
proper seat squeezing excess mortar from joint, and eliminating all voids. A nominal

5
 JULY, 2005 NIOEC-SP-10-07( 0 )

1/8″ (3mm) or smaller joint is required. Excess mortar protruding from the joints shall
be cut off with the edge of the trowel leaving a clean surface.

6.2.5 Floor expansion joints – Lay entire first course of wall brick all the way around the pit.
Lay the floor inside the wall brick leaving a space inside the wall brick twice the width
of the anticipated expansion requirement of the floor. Fill the open joint thus formed
with twisted asbestos fiber, filling the cavity, but not wedging to permit brick
movement to compress the joint 50٪.

6.2.6 All cutting of brick shall be done by power saw outside of the pit to prevent chips and
other foreign particles from falling on the membrane. All brick shall be dried before
apply mortar. Acid proof masonry shall be kept dry until cure is complete.

6.2.7 All spoil and rubbish shall be removed from the worksite.

7. PLACING IN SERVICE

Curing time required before placing in service: Seven days with temperature of 70°F (21°C)
14 days with temperature of 50° F (10°C).

7.1 Operating Temperature

Normal – 50° – 75° (10° – 24°C)

Maximum – 100°F (35°C)

8. INSPECTION

- NIOEC' s inspector shall verify that procedures outlined herein are followed, unless revised
procedures have been approved in writing by NIOEC.

- Continuous observation shall be made by NIOEC's inspector, to assure that the procedures
used result in a satisfactory brick lining.

- Inspection and approval of materials and procedures by NIOEC shall not relieve the contractor
of his responsibilities.
