1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
Duqm Port Terminal Company (DPTC), a joint venture company between Oman Oil Company
(OOC) and the Port of Duqm (PDC), has been established to develop and operate the Liquid Bulk
Berths Terminal, in the Duqm Port.
The DLBB Project involves the development of liquid and solid bulk berths, and tank and solids
storage facilities for the export of finished products from the Duqm Refinery. Duqm Refinery Phase1,
with a capacity of 230,000 BPD, is currently being planned. The finished products handled are
Naphtha, Jet A1, Diesel, High Sulphur Fuel Oil (HSFO), Pressurized Liquefied Petroleum Gas
(PLPG), Pet Coke and Sulphur
1.2 Scope of Document
This specification describes the minimum requirements for surface preparation, coating materials,
application methods, repairs, and inspection colour schedule to be applied to both new and
maintenance work which will be exposed to atmospheric conditions concerning all above ground
Equipments, packages, Tanks, Piping and Piping components, Structural members, etc, and is
intended to supplement the requirements of the applicable codes on the DPTC Storage Terminal
Topsides.
The Pipeline Corridor up to the designated Battery Limit interface with the Duqm Refinery pipelines is
also included.
All coatings shall be suitable in accordance with I ISO 12944- 1 coating system shall be categorized
as C5-M and ISO 20340.
This specification includes the application of external coating on to buried piping and tank base
plates and all tank internal and external surfaces
All coatings shall be suitable in accordance with I ISO 12944- 1 coating system shall be categorized
as C5-M and ISO 20340.
This specification does not cover surfaces beneath the main deck of the Jetties and Marine Berths
or surfaces continually submerged in seawater.
This document identifies a range of coating systems that combine latest technology to give
enhanced performance/ longer life and minimum number of coats to reduce overall total coating
times.
Application of coatings is a task with inherent safety implications and requires adherence to certain
prescriptive methods of working. This specification defines safe operating practice for such activities.
It also specifies coating systems that will minimize impact on health and safety of operatives.
Specifically isocyanate and lead chromate-based systems are excluded as coating systems.

11.1 General
a) Unless stated otherwise, British Standard colours referred to are to BS 4800-1989.
b) All equipment, pipework, valves, flanges and fittings are to be painted throughout the entire
length, including in flange bolt holes in accordance with ground colour specified.
c) Working pressures and arrows indicating direction of flow should be shown on ground colour,
preferably in black (or white where contrast is required) near to junctions, valves and vessels.
11.2 Pipework Identification
a) Coloured banding maybe applied by painting or by using a durable adhesive tape, which must
be suitable for external weathering, especially potential solar heat radiation of 82°C and ultra
violet light.
b) The tape should be applied in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Banding shall be
applied at:
• Bulkheads, deck and other penetrations, major changes of direction.

• Package and vessel termination points, pipe tees, branch connections and either side of
valves.
• Positions such that banding sets are normally visible and no greater than 7m apart.
c) The outer primary colour bands shall be placed directly adjacent to and on each side of, the
inner secondary colour band. Width of each band shall be 150mm.
d) A black flow direction arrow shall be located on the pipe downstream of the colour banding. The
flow direction arrow shall be 200 mm long x 25mm wide at the base of the arrow head and at
the tail.
e) To avoid the requirement for separate marking of flow direction and individual service names,
the inner banding tape may incorporate flow arrows and service names.
f) Stainless steel pipework and pipework coated with thermal spray aluminum shall have service
indicated by colour banding alone, unless otherwise specified.
g) Insulated piping shall have service indicated by colour banding alone over the cladding.
h) Colour banding shall be in accordance with the following table and if required with BS
1710:2014, where no Client colour schedule exists.
