PURPOSE ‘To provide a standard practice on unloading of ammonia from tanker to the ammonia storage drum (V-3002) safely, 2. SCOPE “This practice Is applicable for unleading ammenia from tanker to storage drum (V-3002) located inthe utes section, 3. RESPONSIBILITIES To be followed by all operating personnel ln PDH & Utilities and the overall responsibilty rests with Shift Supenvsor. 4, DEFINITIONS, 5. BASIC ASSUMPTION ‘© There Is an availabe space on the ammonia drum to accommadate tanker quant. 6, HSE REQUIREMENTS ‘© Always use mandatory PPE's (minimum Safety shoes, Safety goggles, Helmet, Leather gloves). Use Gumboots and Low temperature insulation gloves while hhaneling Ammonia ‘© Ensure self contained breathing apparatus, Aline mask, PYC apron, PVC gloves are available at site. © Keep Gas mask with cartridges for Ammonia ready. (However keep in mind that {hese cartridges are meant to be used fora particular Ammonia cancentration limit ‘and also Rave an expiry dat), Ensure that Ammonia Gas detectors are online. ‘nov the actions required to be taken incase of leas. Use Ammonia mentors to check surroundings Never use brass Mittngs/parts in Ammonia system since it snot compatible. 7. METHOD 7.1 Preliminary checks 7.1.1 Make sure thatthe deluge system fs working and ready. 7.4.2 Give Instruction on the tanker to goto the unloading area ater weighing Is finished and vehicle entry permit has been accomplished, 7.1.3 Ensure thatthe tanker is parked atthe right postion and engine put off, 7.1.4 Ensue that earthing is connected tothe tanker. 7.1.5 Put wheel blocks on tanker in order for the tanker net to move, 7.1.6 Ensure that powe supply tothe unloading pump is available and with a correct rating based on pump requirements Lyall ©0090 ee =a peatons {= a ‘ype [POH & Us [ose | rarer ocssus | PUO / WIN / 0003 — 2ofs Peceave Tae | Ofleading Ammonia Tanker 7.2.

"Now thatthe pressure onthe drum ané the tanker got equalized, start the pump to transfer al'ammenia from tanker tothe drum. Adjust pump discharge valve ‘opening based on the load of the pump. Make sure thatthe tanker and drum pressure Is almost equal otherwise the ‘excess flow valve Internals remains cose Confirm level othe ammonia drum is Increasing Monitor the surounding alr In case of high ammonia concentration using the provided gas aralyzer. Incase of high ammonia concentration In al, stop unloading and look for leaks Unioading Is completed when: Pump discharge pressure drops Expected drum level fs reached based on the amount of ammonia to be unloaded ‘2 per the tanker invoice. [As soon as the above condition ls reached stop the pump and clase the pump ‘discharge valve and the vapor balanced valve atthe drum side. Close the tanker outlet vaive to the pump and the valve upstream of XV-30401, ‘Ask panel operator to close XV-30401.
