FEED GAS COMPRESSION 29 NOVEMBER 2012

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This operating manual relates to the facilities indicated on Process Flow Diagram PR-01-
PR32-002 and P&ID’s PR-01-SYPI-001A through PR-01-SYPI-006.
The natural gas feedstock for the complex comes by pipeline from the Hassi R’Mel fields.
The Feed Gas Compression System is designed to remove solid contaminants and liquids
from the feed stream, and to compress the gas to the pressure required for downstream
processing.
An 8” take-off of feed gas downstream of the Feed Gas Coalescer Filter, 01-MD02-A/B, is
provided to meet the total fuel gas demand of the LNG plant during start-up and shutdown,
and to supplement demand during normal operation. A 10” take-off of feed gas upstream of
01-MD02-A/B is provided to supply fuel gas to the flare systems and provide vacuum
protection for storage. A 6” take-off upstream of 01-MD02-A/B provides feed gas to GTG’s
for early startup. Additional take-offs upstream of 01-MD02-A/B provide feed gas to existing
facilities.

FEED GAS COMPRESSION 29 NOVEMBER 2012

2.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

2.1 Feed Gas Coalescer Filters
The two 50% Feed Gas Coalescer Filters, 01-MD02-A/B, are provided to remove liquid and
solid contaminants from the feed gas. Two coalescer filters, both operating, are provided in
parallel with a bypass line for use when maintenance work is required on either of the filters.
The liquid material captured in the coalescers is drained to the warm liquid header by level
controllers 01-LIC-1110 and 01-LIC-1112.
The Startup Feed Gas Coalescer Filter, 01-MD03, is provided for initial start-up fuel gas to
the Power Generators Gas Turbines, 51-MJ01-A/B/C/D/E-GT.
2.2 Feed Gas Compression
The feed gas compression system consists of the Feed Gas Compressor KO Drum,
01-MD01; Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01; and Feed Gas Compressor Aftercooler,
01-MC01.
The knock out drum is designed to remove any entrained or condensed liquids, which may
be present during start up or shutdown operations. Any liquid collected is disposed of via the
Warm Flare KO Drum, 65-MD01.
The feed gas compressor is a gas turbine-driven centrifugal type. The discharge pressure is
controlled by regulating the compressor speed. An anti-surge recycle is provided
downstream of the after cooler to ensure stable compressor operation.
The feed gas exiting the compressor is cooled to 39°C (Case 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7) or 55°C
(Case 3, 8) in the after cooler before flowing to the Acid Gas Removal Unit (Unit 12).
Isolation valves and a bypass around the feed gas compressor allow gas to be fed to
downstream units, at reduced rates, during start-up or an extended feed gas compressor
outage via the Feed Gas Heater, 01-MC02.

OPERATING MANUAL VOLUME I, SECTION 1-1: REVISION 2
FEED GAS COMPRESSION 29 NOVEMBER 2012

3.0 OPERATIONS
3.1 Normal Running
This section provides a description of the operating parameters for the Feed Gas
Compression System. Refer to Section 3.2 for a list of typical operating variables for this
system.
3.1.1 Start Up Feed Gas Coalescer Filter, 01-MD03
The Start Up Feed Gas Coalescer Filter, 01-MD03, is operated manually. The operator
should check the level and manually drain any condensate to the Warm Liquid Header as
necessary. Levels indicators 01-LI-1005A/B are displayed on the DCS, and level indicators
01-LI-1005C/D are displayed locally. There is no DCS control of the level.
The operator should check the pressure drop across the filter as indicated by 01-PDI-1004 to
determine when filter servicing is necessary. A bypass is installed around the Start Up Feed
Gas Coalescer Filter to enable the plant to operate while the filter is out of service. This filter
is normally out of service.
3.1.2 Feed Gas Coalescer Filter, 01-MD02-A/B
The condensate level in the Feed Gas Coalescer Filter, 01-MD02-A/B, is controlled by gap
type level controllers. We do not expect a level in these drums during normal operation.
When the level is high, condensate is drained to the Warm Liquid Header. When the level is
low, the drain valve closes. Level controller 01-LIC-1110 drains the first section of 01-MD02-
A/B through valve 01-LV-1110. High-select 01-LY-1110 selects which level indication, 01-LI-
1110A or 01-LI-1110B, is used for control. Level controller 01-LIC-1112 drains the second
section of 01-MD02-A/B through valve 01-LV-1112. High-select 01-LY-1112 selects which
level indication, 01-LI-1112A or 01-LI-1112B, is used for control. When one filter is taken out
of service, hand switches 01-HS-1110 and 01-HS-1112 are set to control level for the filter
that is in service.
The operator should check the pressure drop across the filter as indicated by 01-PDI-1092 to
determine when filter servicing is necessary. A bypass is installed around the Feed Gas
Coalescer Filters to enable the plant to operate while a filter is out of service.
Feed gas coalescer filter discharge flow totalizer, 01-FQI-3001, totalizes the flow of feed gas
from 01-MD02-A/B and can be used for train material balance and specific energy
calculations.
The feed gas from pipeline valve 01-ESDV-1000 can be opened by the operator with 01-HS-
1000 to establish flow of feed gas through the system or closed to stop the flow of feed.
3.1.3 Feed Gas Compressor K.O. Drum, 01-MD01
Feed gas from the Feed Gas Coalescer Filter, 01-MD02-A/B, and Feed Gas Compressor,
01-MJ01, recycle flow enters the side of the drum and then flows out the top to the suction of
01-MJ01. Condensate in the bottom is controlled by level controller 01-LIC-1049. This
controller drains condensate to the Warm Liquid Header through valve 01-LV-1049. There is
normally no flow.
3.1.4 Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01
Feed gas from Feed Gas Compressor K.O. Drum, 01-MD01, flows into the Feed Gas
Compressor, 01-MJ01. The compressor is started and stopped manually from the DCS
using switch 01-HS-1032. The speed is controlled by the compressor speed controller 01-
SIC-1014 which adjusts the turbine speed to maintain the pressure set by the compressor’s
performance controller 01-PIC-1017. Since this controller is part of the compressor, the
pressure setpoint is set by the operator at the compressor panel and not at the DCS.

SKIKDA, ALGERIA PP-AAA-PP1-101
OPERATING MANUAL VOLUME I, SECTION 1-1: REVISION 2
FEED GAS COMPRESSION 29 NOVEMBER 2012

The compressor control system monitors the pressures, temperatures, and flow to ensure
the Compressor does not get into a surge condition, with anti-surge controller 01-UIC-1016.
This controller adjusts valve 01-UV-1016 to maintain operation a safe “distance” from the
surge line. Valve 01-UV-1016 recycles gas flow from the discharge of the Feed Gas
Compressor Aftercooler, 01-MC01, back into the Feed Gas Compressor K.O. Drum, 01-
MD01. The operator can manually open this valve from the DCS with controller 01-HIC-
1016. The anti-surge controller will override the manual setting if necessary to prevent a
surge condition.
The Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01, can be isolated by the closing of 01-ESDV-1012 at
the feed to the Feed Gas Compressor K.O. Drum, 01-MD01, and 01-ESDV-1035 at the
discharge of the Feed Gas Compressor Aftercooler, 01-MC01. The Feed Gas Heater, 01-
MC02, will heat feed gas bypassing the compressor through 01-ESDV-1036.
Mechanical monitoring of the Feed Gas Compressor Gas Turbine, 01-MJ01-GT, speed,
wheel space temperatures, exhaust temperatures, and shaft vibrations will cause the
compressor and turbine to shutdown on high-high levels.
3.1.5 Feed Gas Compressor Aftercooler, 01-MC01
The Feed Gas Compressor Aftercooler, 01-MC01, is a fin-fan type cooler that cools the
discharge of the Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01, before it flows to Unit 12 (Acid Gas
Removal Unit). It consists of 4 bays each containing 3 fixed speed fans. All 12 fans are
started and stopped manually by the operator to maintain a normal temperature of 39ºC. The
number of fans required to meet this cooling requirement will vary throughout the year.
Specifically, in the winter some fans can be turned off as the gas temperature measured by
01-TI-1019 falls below the target temperature.
3.1.6 Feed Gas Heater, 01-MC02
The Feed Gas Heater, 01-MC02, is a shell and tube type heater, with hot oil as the heating
medium. It heats feed gas in the event Feed Gas Compressor Turbine, 01-MJ01-GT, is not
running. If 01-MJ01-GT trips, DCS logic 01-K-1010 opens the solenoid valve in the hot oil
control valve 01-FV-1055 tubing going to the actuator. This allows the valve to be controlled
by 01-FIC-1055. The DCS logic 01-K-1010 also puts flow controller 01-FIC-1055 and
temperature controller 01-TIC-1051 in auto mode. This places the heater in operation with
the feed gas temperature controlled by master controller 01-TIC-1051, cascaded to slave
flow controller 01-FIC-1055. Flow controller 01-FIC-1055 throttles hot oil valve 01-FV-1055
to heat the feed gas to Unit 12.
When the Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01, is operating normally, the operator can reset
this automatic control system with switch 01-HS-1055. DCS logic 01-K-1010 will then close
solenoid 01-FY-1055, which closes valve 01-FV-1055, and places controllers 01-FIC-1055
and 01-TIC-1051 in manual mode. Hot oil continues to flow through 01-FV-1055 bypass to
keep the exchanger hot.

3.3 Temporary Operation

3.3.1 Fuel Gas
Fuel gas will be provided initially for starting up the Power Generation Gas Turbine, 51-
MJ01-A/B/C/D/E-GT, from the feed gas system through the Start Up Feed Gas Coalescer
Filter, 01-MD03. This fuel gas is for the initial start up of the GTG’s and is utilized to avoid
routing hydrocarbons through the LNG Train while construction activities are still in progress.
3.3.2 Start-Up of LNG Train Liquefaction and Fractionation
During initial start-up of the process train facilities, feed gas will be utilized for pressurization
and dryout via the metering station and by-pass of the Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01.
The train can also be started and operated for extended periods using the compressor
bypass. Feed will be at 40 bar and production will be limited to approximately 62%.
3.3.3 Feed Gas Heating
The feed gas must be heated to a temperature of at least 32°C before feeding the
downstream Acid Gas Removal Unit. Normally this heat comes from the heat of
compression from the Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01. When the Feed Gas Compressor is
shut down and bypassed, the feed gas is heated in the Feed Gas Heater, 01-MC02.
The heating medium is hot oil from the Unit 58 furnace. The heater is located on the
compressor bypass line, and block valves are provided to isolate the heater during normal
operation. However, smaller bypass valves are provided around 01-FV-1055 control valve
to maintain a warming flow through the heater in case it is needed quickly after a
compressor trip.

FEED GAS COMPRESSION 29 NOVEMBER 2012

4.0 START-UP
This section outlines the steps necessary to place the Feed Gas Compression System in
service. For the purpose of this section of the operating manual, it is assumed that the
following conditions exist: utilities are in service, feed gas is available, downstream units are
ready for feed gas, and system is purged and ready for start-up.
As the Feed Gas Compression System is started, feed will increase through the Acid Gas
Removal Unit (Unit 12) and other down stream systems. Unit 58 hot oil system will
temporarily provide heat to the Feed Gas Heater, 01-MC02.
1. Confirm system depressurization valves 01-BDV-1093 at Feed Gas Coalescer Filter,
01-MD02-A/B, and 01-BDV-1040 downstream of the Feed Gas Compressor After
Cooler, 01-MC01, are lined up to the warm flare header and closed.
2. Confirm Feed Gas Coalescer Filter, 01-MD02-A/B, feed isolation valve 01-ESDV-1000
and bypass are closed.
3. Confirm Feed Gas Compressor K.O. Drum, 01-MD01, feed isolation valve 01-ESDV-
1012 and bypass are closed.
4. Confirm isolation valve 01-ESDV-1035 downstream of Feed Gas Compressor
Aftercooler, 01-MC01, is closed.
5. Confirm isolation valve 01-ESDV-1036 downstream of Feed Gas Heater, 01-MC02, is
closed.
6. Place 01-MD01 level controller 01-LIC-1049 in manual and closed.
7. Line up feed gas from pipeline through the Total Feed Gas Metering System, 01-IC03,
to the Feed Gas Coalescer Filter, 01-MD02-A/B, feed isolation valve 01-ESDV-1000.
8. Line up the two 50% Feed Gas Coalescer Filters, 01-MD02-A/B.
9. Open bypass around Feed Gas Coalescer Filter, 01-MD02-A/B, feed isolation valve 01-
ESDV-1000 to pressurize the filters. When pressure has equalized open 01-ESDV-
1000 and close bypass.
10. Open bypass around Feed Gas Compressor K.O. Drum, 01-MD01, feed isolation valve
01-ESDV-1012 to pressurize the system. When pressure has equalized open 01-
ESDV-1012 and close bypass.
11. Open bypass around isolation valve 01-ESDV-1036 downstream of Feed Gas Heater,
01-MC02, to pressurize downstream equipment. When pressure has equalized open
01-ESDV-1036 and close bypass. Need to establish hot oil flow through 01-MC02
(using normally open 01-FV-1055 bypass) to warm up exchanger before placing in
service.
12. When feed gas is near desired operating temperature, place feed gas temperature
controller 01-TIC-1051 in automatic providing setpoint to Feed Gas Heater, 01-MC02,
hot oil flow controller 01-FIC-1055.
13. The Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01, is bypassed and feed gas is flowing from the
Feed Gas Coalescer Filter, 01-MD02-A/B, through the Feed Gas Heater, 01-MC02, to
Unit 12.
14. As downstream systems startup and increase feed consumption, increase feed gas
flow through the Feed Gas Compressor bypass to the Acid Gas Removal Unit up to
62% rates. When additional feed gas pressure is needed, proceed to bring the Feed

5.0 SHUTDOWN
5.1 Normal Shutdown
The following steps are based on a planned shutdown of the Feed Gas Compression
System.
The Feed Gas Compression System is done in conjunction with downstream units.
1. Reduce LNG production to minimum allowing feed gas compressor controls to reduce
compressor speed.
2. When LNG rate is reduced to minimum, block in MCHE, molecular sieve dryers,
mercury removal, and AGRU. Refrigeration machines can remain on line, if desired.
3. Shutdown and isolate the Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01.
4. Close Feed Gas Compressor K.O. Drum, 01-MD01, feed isolation valve 01-ESDV-
1012.
5. Open 01-BDV-1040 and vent gas from compressor system to the warm flare header
and close 01-BDV-1040 after the system has completed depressurizing.
6. When ready to discontinue all feed gas to downstream equipment, close isolation valve
01-ESDV-1036 downstream of the Feed Gas Heater, 01-MC02.
7. Feed gas can continue to supply fuel gas to 15-MD05-A through the Feed Gas
Coalescer Filters, 01-MD02-A/B, while isolation valve 01-ESDV-1000 remains open.
When ready to discontinue flow of feed gas through the Feed Gas Coalescer Filters,
close feed isolation valve 01-ESDV-1000.
Note: The feed gas isolation valve 01-ESDV-1000 remains open when the Plant ESD
Interlock I-0000 is initiated. Isolation valve 01-ESDV-1000 is only closed by operator action.
8. Open 01-BDV-1093 and vent gas from the filters to the warm flare header and close
01-BDV-1093 after the system has completed depressurizing.

5.2 Process Upsets and Production Loss

In the event of a change in conditions or trips, the process may become upset and possibly
require shutdown. In the event of an emergency requiring a shutdown of the Feed Gas
Compression System the system should be shut down as outlined above. Below are
possible causes for upset and actions to be taken.
1. Loss of Electrical Power
Loss of power to the Feed Gas Compressor Aftercooler, 01-MC01, fans will result in a
reduction of cooling in the aftercooler. The reduction of cooling will not necessarily trip the
Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01, but it is likely the compressor throughput will need to be
reduced.
2. Loss of Instrument Air
Loss of instrument air will cause control valves to fail to their safe position. Consequences of
the loss of instrument air for the major control and isolation valves are given below:
• Valves 01-ESDV-1000, 01-ESDV-1012, 01-ESDV-1035, and 01-ESDV-1036 will fail
close
• Valves 01-BDV-1093, 01-UV-1016, and 01-BDV-1040 will fail open.
3. Loss of Feed Gas
Loss of natural gas feed will result in a total shutdown of the system.
The Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01, can remain on full recycle until the conditions are
stabilized and the gas flow is re-established. It may be necessary to shut down the
compressor if the interruption is lengthy.
4. Loss of Fuel Gas
Loss of fuel gas to the Feed Gas Compressor Gas Turbine, 01-MJ01-GT, will result in the
shutdown of the Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01.
Feed gas can continue to flow to downstream equipment through the Feed Gas Heater, 01-
MC02. LNG production and feed gas flow rate will likely need to be reduced due to the lower
feed gas pressure.
5. Loss of Hot Oil
Loss of hot oil to the Feed Gas Heater, 01-MC02, will result in loss of heating when the Feed
Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01, is not in service. If the feed gas temperature falls below 32ºC
the system will need to be shutdown.

6.0 SAFETY/EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

6.1 Safety Critical Shutdown Systems
6.1.1 I-0100 – Plant Feed Conditioning UNIT 01 ESD
The Plant Feed Conditioning UNIT 01 ESD Interlock I-0100 is activated by the Plant ESD
Interlock I-0000, which will trip Feed Gas Compressor Aftercooler, 01-MC01, fans and
isolate bypass on feed gas compressor by closing 01-ESDV-1036 on LNG Train ESD I-
0000.
Additionally, on LNG Train ESD interlock I-0000, the Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01, is
tripped, isolated, and depressured via I-0110 and I-2092.
6.1.2 I-0110 - 01-MJ01 Feed Gas Compressor Trip
The Feed Gas Compressor Trip Interlock I-0110 trips the Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01,
and isolates the suction and discharge.
On Hi-Hi level in the Feed Gas Compressor K.O. Drum, 01-MD01; compressor suction Lo-Lo
pressure; or compressor discharge Hi-Hi temperature or pressure; or mechanical and
machine trips, the Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01, is tripped and the isolation valves 01-
ESDV-1012 and 01-ESDV-1035 are closed.
6.1.3 I-2092 - 01-MJ01 Feed Gas Compressor Depressure
The Feed Gas Compressor Depressure Interlock I-2092 depressures the Feed Gas
Compressor, 01-MJ01.
On Hi-Hi level in the Feed Gas Compressor K.O. Drum, 01-MD01; compressor suction Lo-Lo
pressure; or compressor discharge Hi-Hi temperature or pressure; or mechanical and
machine trips, the Feed Gas Compressor, 01-MJ01, is depressured by the opening of the
Feed Gas Compressor Blowdown Valve, 01-BDV-1040.
After trip of I-2092, the logic can be reset via DCS handswitch 01-HS-1040R without clearing
the trip initiators. This will enable operation of blowdown valve 01-BDV-1040.
6.1.4 I-1091 - Plant Feed Gas Depressure
The Plant Feed Gas Depressure Interlock I-1091 depressures feed gas at the Feed Gas
Coalescer Filter, 01-MD02-A/B.
On activation of 01-HZ-1114 feed gas is depressured by the opening of the Feed Gas
Metering Blowdown Valve, 01-BDV-1093.
