ECS 3-9-1 PROTECTION AGAINST AMBIENT Page 20f6 TEMPERATURES SPECIFICATION Rev. | Oct. 1995 SCOPE 1.1. This specification covers mandatory requirements governing the protection of equipment, piping and insiruments against the effects of ambient temperature including hydrate formation, condensation, viscosity change and pour point suppression, 1.2 An asterisk (*) indicates that additional information is provided by ESSO in an addendum to this specification. 1.3 A pound sign (#) indicates that ESSO review/approval is required before design is finalized or equipment is purchased. REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES: 2.1 Overpressure protection against liquid thermal expansion due to solar radiation in equipment and piping is covered in ECS 3-2-4, Pressure Relieving Systems. #2.2._ All instruments shall be suitable for the high ambient temperature in the Chad area or installed in suitable air conditioned rooms or enclosures. The use ot air conditioned enclosures shall be approved by ESSO. 2.3. Asa minimum, all instruments installed out doors shall have a sun shade to prevent temperature rise due to direct sunlight per ECS 15-0-100, Instrumentation General Specification REQUIREMENTS FOR HEAT TRACING Process Piping 3.1.1. Reciprocating compressor suction lines between the knockout drum and the compressor shall be heat traced and insulated if ambient temperature is below the dew point of the gas at compressor suction. 3.1.2 Intermittently used process piping containing liquids such as tars or chemicals, which will congeal during nonflowing conditions, shall be provided with valves for venting and draining, blowing out with alr or flushing with light stock in preference to heat tracing, 3.1.3 Process and/or associated piping subject to auto-refrigerated releases which may cause freezing of line shall be heat traced to the extent necessary to prevent line blockage. Note: When piping the blow out discharges into tankage, venting capacity shall be provided to prevent pressurizing the tankageESSO EXPLORATION & 5 PRODUCTION CHAD INC. ECS 3-9-1 PROTECTION AGAINST AMBIENT Page 3 of 6 TEMPERATURES SPECIFICATION Rev.1 | Oct. 1995 Pressure Relieving Systems 3.2.1. Pressure relieving systems shall be heat traced where the inlet and outlet lines of pressure relief (PR) devices may become plugged due to wax deposits or the congealing of viscous fluids at ambient temperatures. Closed Drain Headers 3.3.1 Closed drain headers shall be heat traced where piping may become plugged due to: a. Wax deposits b. —Congealing viscous fluids c. _Auto-refrigerated releases to the system, such as flashing propane, which may cause freezing in the line. Instruments and Associated Piping 3.4.1 Instruments and instrument piping shall be heat traced and/or insulated in accordance with Table 1. The instrument mechanism and indicator portions (Le. electronic capsule) of the transmitters shall be kept within the manufacturer's recommended temperature rating *3.4.2. When specified, protective heating of lead fines shall be installed in a manner which will prevent the liquid from overhe: 1g and boiling away. 3.4.3 Locally mounted pressure gauges and instruments, with seals required for corrosion protection, shall be heat traced (if the seal or process fluid would freeze, congeal, or be damaged at low temperature). 3.4.4 When using electric tracers on instruments which have blow down facilities, care should be taken in selecting cable material to assure it can withstand the maximum process exposure temperature with the tracer turned ON or OFF during blow down. 3.4.5 When parallel and adjacent lead lines for differential pressure instruments are heat ‘raced, they shall have common heating and insulation to maintain the same temperature in both lines, 3.4.6 When capillary tubing is required to protect the instrument with diaphragm seals from radiant heat, the capillary shall be shaded from direct sun and temperature compensated.ESSO EXPLORATION & = PRODUCTION CHAD INC. esa PROTECTION AGAINST AMBIENT Page 4 of 6 Ess) TEMPERATURES SPECIFICATION Beil eerie TABLE 1 PROTECTION AGAINST AMBIENT TEMPERATURE FOR INSTRUMENTS Type of Fluid | Direct-Connected ] Pressure Externally Mounted Pressure and Gauges _| Level instruments and Differential Gauge Glasses Instruments Liquids whose | Use Diaphragm | Use Diaphragm | Heat trace & insulate pour point or Seal.

Heat tracing of the instrument may be accomplished with a prefabricated insulated enclosure as long as area classification inside the enclosure is satisfied. 4, Allvalve and/or instrument manifold handles shall not be insulated, and shall be left exposed, to allow operability. 5. If the process fluid is likely to plug, then use a diaphragm seal.SSO EXPLORATION & — PRODUCTION CHAD INC. ECS 3-9-1 PROTECTION AGAINST AMBIENT Page 5 of 6 ‘TEMPERATURES ne Rev.1 | Oct. 1995) SPECIFICATION Preferred method is to choose an instrument technology that does not require tracing Process Vessels 3.5.1. Process vessels containing fiuids which may congeal during dormant periods shall be insulated and, if necessary, heat traced. 3.5.2 Heat exchangers (shell and tube or ait cooled) containing liquids which may congeal at ambient temperature shall be capable of being drained when not in service. Machinery and Associated Piping 3.6.1 Pumps and associated piping shall be protected as required by the nature of fluids handled and duration of anticipated non-operating periods. Circulating fluid from an active pump through a non-operating pump is a preferred practice for pumps handling viscous fluids.ESSO EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION CHAD INC.
