(AM&D) for New Equipment

Machinery and peripheral equipment for oil and gas applications must operate within specified
parameters in order to achieve the desired performance, production targets and operating costs.
Traditional monitoring methods require on-site personnel and analysis, with periodic OSM engineering
support. BHGE’s AM&D service offers the superior alternative of continuous monitoring by expert
engineers with significantly enhanced response times – and without additional on-site staffing costs or
logistics.
How it works
Our standard monitoring instruments (for temperature, pressure, vibration, etc.) are supplemented with
a Site Connectivity Kit so that operating data can be securely transferred from the site to the BHGE
AM&D Center. The M&D system is linked to our headquarters in Florence, Houston and Kuala Lumpur,
where a dedicated team of diagnostic engineers evaluates the actual and target parameters as well as
correlations between components to continuously monitor the performance and health status of
components. They then work with your staff to support onsite activities – ranging from detailed
optimization plans to immediate emergency procedures.
The diagram below shows the overall architecture of the AM&D system:
The system is used to enhance machine protection as well as performance and for this purpose, a set of
diagnostic thresholds are implemented in the central system. In addition, the system facilitates technical
assistance activities and Customer support.

4 INSTALLATION TOOLS
The personnel entrusted with the installation of BHGE products shall

have the necessary technical characteristics and suitable technical train-
ing for the task it has to accomplish.
In case the installation of BHGE equipment is performed by third parties,

BHGE shall have no responsibility for loss or damages caused by improp-
er installation, unless such third parties have been certified and trained
by BHGE.
Any damage, even partial, ascribable to failure to comply with aforesaid

essential characteristics shall be attributable to the purchaser and BHGE
will be discharged of any liability and indemnification thereof.
4.1 How to use tools
The special tools listed hereinafter permit to carry out the installation operations of
component parts of the Motocompressor.
Before carrying out any operation demanding the use of the following tools, it is neces-
sary that the installation-men perfectly know how to use the machine, following the in-
structions supplied by the manufacturer and the indications reported on the machine
itself.
Moreover, the installation-men must be well trained to do their job and to use the spe-
cial tools.
Before lifting the devices, verify their position and the lifting point capac-
ities in the lifting drawings.
Then, check the special tools for correct positioning and clamping.
Do not use special tools for operations other than those for which they
have been built.
Only specially trained personnel must carry out all lifting and handling
operations.
When using the hydraulic units, discharge the possible internal energy
sources before disconnecting the piping.

5 STANDARD PRACTICES
This paragraph contains a series of standard instructions relevant to the equipment

treatment.
For all the following instructions, applicable safety prescriptions are de-
scribed in section 2.
5.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING SPARE PARTS
Use of parts, other than as manufactured or authorized for use by BHGE,

or repairs or modifications performed by others not authorized by BHGE
to be so performed, will void any warranty on BHGE equipment and will
relieve BHGE of any liability for injury or damages resulting there from.
When ordering spare parts for machines manufactured by BHGE provide the following
information:
 BHGE job number. This will be a seven-digit number

 Model and serial number of the machine as given on the nameplate
 Parts list number and assembly drawing number to refer to
 Part number as shown in the parts list and name of part
 Quantity required
 Complete address to which shipment of parts is to be made.
When ordering parts for auxiliary equipment provide the following information (as given
on the nameplate):
 Manufacturer name
 Type and serial number of equipment.
If no parts list is available a brief description of the part and its function must be clearly
specified in the order.

Nuovo Pignone
5.2 STORAGE OF SPARE PARTS
As a general rule, here is highlighted the need to use high care in keeping spare parts in
good condition in the store.
Upon receipt, spare parts should be visually inspected for sign of corrosion, damage or
other problems, which might require correction.
Following inspection, and if necessary, completion of corrective actions, the parts shall
be stored indoors in a clean and dry place.
5.3 INTERCONNECTING PIPING
BHGE scope of supply do not include interconnecting piping, BHGE , how-

ever, requires that all quality checks included in the Site Quality Check
Lists are performed in order to guarantee the correct interfacing with its
machinery. This, particularly, applies to piping flushing / cleaning proce-
dures.
Here below are described the installation in site of the interconnecting piping related to
the different systems.
For piping installation follow the relevant drawing:
• P&ID - Piping & Instrument Diagram SOS84417

• General arrangement & purchaser's connection drawing SOK6727554
• Plot plan for Electric Motor + GB + Ce/Co 2BCL259
• Interconnecting piping layout SOK6727140
NOTES:
 All piping </= 1 ½” are supplied in commercial bars and will be constructed on
site. Piping having diameter > 1 ½” are supplied in prefabricated spools, accord-
ing to isometric drawings, with a number of welding at installation for adjust-
ment (marked SM on isometric drawings).
 All piping will be protected and painted as per relevant painting specification.
 All piping shall be tested according to the line specification
 All piping shall be cleaned / flushed / blown according to the specific cleaning
procedure for the specific service (lube oil, fuel gas, etc.).
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 3 of 19
Nuovo Pignone
5.3.1 Preparation
As soon as the materials arrive on site, carry on an inventory to determine if all the
necessary piping and /or its components are available.
Check if piping has arrived with proper yellow transportation plugs/flanges on pipe
ends for sealing/protection.
Use the line code number reported on piping sketch to identify materials on the pack-
ing list. Piping sketches report also all the materials necessary for the line installation
and their part codes: gaskets (type and code), bolts, nuts, tie rods, clamps, supports,
valves etc.
Using the piping general arrangement drawing, identify the correct piping port connec-
tion.
Be sure the working area and the port connection area are perfectly clean and verify
connecting flange sealing surfaces for scratching and/or other non-conformity.
In case of any non-conformity, which can result in gas/oil leaking, replace the dam-
aged flange with new one.
5.3.2 General notes for piping construction
Close to the welding area, the spool can be provided with approximately 100 mm met-
al allowance which permits adjusting the measure (marked with SM on “Isometric
drawing”).
Execute piping welding where necessary and required according to

ITN 03401.
Pay attention to the cleaning of piping, which must be always protected

both before and after welding. If, for some reasons, the protection for
shipment has been removed in advance of the time, the piping must be
inspected and at least blow cleaned to eliminate dust and dirt.
Do not remove shipment seals from machine flanges or skids until final installation of
piping.
During pre-installation of piping, before proceeding with welding at assembly, it is ad-
visable to leave in place between the flanges the same shipment seals (if applicable,
and provided they are in clearly visible position) or other means of protection against
admission of foreign material (for example, a shield obtained by clipping a metal sheet,
carrying an identification plate that must be clearly visible from outside). The thickness
of these means of protection must be considered when adjusting the piping, to avoid
removing extra metal in excess.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 4 of 19
Nuovo Pignone
In no case must open piping be protected by inserting rags, which may be forgotten
inside during assembly.
When assembling piping, especially to horizontal flanges, it is necessary to pay atten-
tion not to let dirt or any foreign objects fall inside. On vertical flanges, it is necessary to
inspect the two pipes at least in the visible sections before proceeding to assembly.
The manual does not cover the details of the preparation and welding procedure, as
this falls in the responsibility of the contractor who executes the work, who is responsi-
ble for procuring WPS, PQR and WPQ suitable for the type of welding to be carried out
and for the piping material.
Subject to the indications specified above, as general rules we can suggest the follow-
ing:
 Initially, install and support the longer spool.

 Bring close to it the other spool, which normally comes with 100 mm extra metal
allowance for adjusting purposes.
 Mark the length to be removed by grinding. Always consider the thicknesses of
gaskets on the flanges.
 After grinding, assemble the spool, including the gasket, and align the two spools
with each other as much as possible.
 For pipes of small diameter and thickness: tack weld the two pipes in two points
90° distant from each other.
 For larger pipes, it is possible to carry out the joining more effectively by provi-
sionally welding three metal plates at 120° from one another on both spools.
These can both make it easier to align the two parts to be joined, and increase
their ruggedness during removal and transport to the welding facility.
 In the majority of cases, piping have to be removed and transported to a facility
duly equipped for final welding, for pickling, if needed, for hydraulic tests, X-rays,
etc., according to line specifications. Final on-site welding can be executed only if
it can be done with the same quality level as in the fully-equipped facility.
 After execution of welds, before proceeding to assembly, blow clean piping to
remove any dirt and/or water used for the hydraulic test. If welds can be reached
from outside, check for presence of dirt and, if necessary, clean with mechanical
means.
If the welding facility is near the machine, it is a good rule to connect the
earth clamp of the welding machine as close as possible to the area
where welding is carried out, to prevent any high-value currents from
travelling through parts of the machines and damage particularly deli-
cate component parts, such as the instrumentation.

Nuovo Pignone
5.3.3 Installation of supports
Execute welding where necessary and required according to

ITN 03402.03.
Support drawing and identification is provided on specific reference drawings.

For supports that go on the base plate or other metal part, it is necessary to weld (after
grinding its surface and touching it up with paint) the metal "wedge", top plate, to
which the support is to be bolted; on the contrary, other supports must be mounted on
the floor, after boring holes and inserting the expansion anchor (Fisher type) into them.
Always insert the AISI316 plate between the pipe and the support, to pre-
vent direct contact between the stainless steel tube and the carbon steel
support.

Nuovo Pignone
5.3.4 Flange connections
To connect the piping flanges, proceed as follows:
 Screw in completely the nuts on bolt threads, so as to verify that both threads are
in perfect condition and that the nut screws in smoothly on the entire bolt thread.
This check guarantees that the value of the tightening torque indicated by the
torque wrench is not altered by abnormal interferences.
 Apply an anti-seize compound onto the threads of bolts and nuts and onto resting
surfaces.
 When flanges are parallel to the gasket installed, the bolts may be inserted manu-
ally. Do not force the flanges with a lever to open them.
Piping flanges must not be forced in order to obtain alignment. If flanges

cannot be set parallel manually within a value of 1/8 inch (0,32 cm), the
pipe must be straightened or replaced.
 Bring bolts and nuts close to resting surfaces.

 Tighten bolts in two phases, acting in diametrically opposed sequence (crosswise).
For correct tightening, follow the numbers in the figure (see also sect. 5.4.3).

5.5 TIGHTENING TORQUE FOR BOLTS (GENERAL APPLICATIONS)
Torque tightening is the application of correct preload to a fastener by the turning of the
fastener's nut. The amount of preload created when torqueing is applied, is largely de-
pendent on the effects of friction. The torque value is normally indicated in assembly
drawing.
For carpentry and general applications, and only in case of missing information on job
drawings, it can be useful the table below:

The table above is valid only for:
 Not lubricated bolting: in case of lubrication (for example applied on Stainless

steel hardware in order to avoid seizure) designer shall clearly indicate what kind
of lubricant has to be used, with relevant torque reduction coefficient that de-
pends from the friction reduction properties of the lubricant itself. Using
Molycote 1000 (one of the most commonly used lubricant), the values on the ta-
ble shall be reduced by 40%. In case of doubts contact HQ.
Moreover it is not valid for:
 High resistance bolts, marked “HV” or “HR” according to EN14399 (used on sup-
port structures for example): correct torque is directly shown on hardware box
and assembly drawings (see SIC00116 for reference).
5.5.1 Torque Procedure

5.6 HOUSEKEEPING
In addition to the specific Installation e Commissioning procedures which follow, it is
recommended to perform general “housekeeping” for the unit and annexed equipment,
accessory compartments, etc., dedicated to keep them clean and tidy.
This will be beneficial to the safety and reliability of machine plant operation, facilitating
“normal” maintenance tasks, preventing the accumulation of problems over time, allow-
ing the easy identification of new problems when they occur.
The following checklist will give the operator a start toward establishing his own routine
for maintaining the unit and annexed equipment, accessory compartments, etc., in a
clean, well- functioning condition:
General
a. Check door seals for deterioration. Schedule replacement as required.
b. All parts shall be inspected for cleanliness and wear before being installed.
c. Gaskets and preformed packings shall be free from dirt, lint, and/or grit.
d. Mating flanges, tube flanges, and couplings shall be wiped clean to make sure
that a good seal will be obtained.
e. Hands and gloves must be clean when handling machined surfaces.
f. After performing any maintenance, the work area shall be thoroughly inspected
for loose parts, rags, tools, and other materials. The area shall be cleaned to re-
move grit, dust, chips, safety wire, and other small objects.
g. Use P&I diagram to identify all piping connections of the line.
h. In case of spills duly clean ALL parts to remove all the oil or any other chemicals.

6 QUALITY MANAGEMENT AT SITE
6.1 RED FLAG REVIEW
6.1.1 Red Flag Review Process
The following notes have been extracted from the "Red Flag Review Process" presenta-
tion issued by the GFS ENG Commissioning CoE Team. The content has been slightly
modified in order to be adapted to the present Manual.
6.1.2 Introduction
The Red Flag Review is an BHGE internal mandatory process that has the purpose to
prevent issues during installation & commissioning activities at site. Its implementation
will be taking place for all new units under installation where a Service Job is opened,
involving Site Team (Site Manager, Mechanical Engineer, Control Specialist, etc.) and
HQ Teams (RFR team, Tech. Expert and Installation Manager). Critical issues related to
First Fire are discussed and resolved "online", if possible, and receipt of all required
documentation (i.e. site Audit, Commissioning Procedures, etc.) is verified and docu-
mented.
The Red Flag Review also initiates communication between the Site and BHGE Head-
quarters, according to BHGE Quality Management System.
Customers may participate to the process, however this is owned by BHGE .
6.1.3 Background / Purpose:
The 1998 F-Rotor Task Force developed a plan intended to "contain" a progression of
undesirable issues involving F-Class units. As a result of their recommendations, GE
Power systems began conducting a series of Red Flag Reviews prior to the First Fire of
any F-class unit. BHGE has adopted the same method, applying it to all its products
and installations at site.
A "Red Flag Review" process is intends to “contain” a progression of undesirable issues
Involving units under installation & commissioning activities. As a result of their rec-
ommendations, BHGE GSSA and shall conduct a series of controls prior to the first start
up.
This process foresees three Milestone Meetings to verify the compliance to RFR Control
List. It is critical for the quality and benefits of process for Site Team and Customer,
that Control list status is reviewed at all 3 milestones, along with site activities pro-
gress.

6.2 PRESERVATION CHECK LIST

Good execution of installation, commissioning and start-up of the plant is checked and
approved by the parties involved in installation activities by means of a set of Quality
Management Documents and Check Lists to be filled in on site during following phases:
• material preservation at site

• installation and pre-commissioning (provided in this manual)
• commissioning and start-up (provided in commissioning and start-up manual)
• contractual tests (provided in this manual and in the commissioning and start-
up manual)
The purpose of this section is to provide general directions to check and maintain the
preservation of the equipment and material involved in the project, in the original condi-
tions, from reception at site to plant start-up, by implementing a proper plan for periodic
inspections.
The responsibility of the execution of the plan is defined by the contractual terms &
conditions, and is generally assigned to the owner of the material. In case the material is
received and taken in charge by the Customer, the application of this procedure is a
mandatory requisition to maintain the validity of the warranty on BHGE scope of supply.
The responsible party will be required to keep and, on demand, provide evidence of the
periodic verifications by filling and signing suitable check lists, such as the one proposed
at the end of the present procedure.
Who is in charge for preservation check must:
• Verify the preservation state of material properly stored in its original

case/box/container, etc, as shipped, for a period that is estimated to be 12
months or less. A longer period will be covered, if necessary, with due considera-
tion for activities to ensure the integrity of preservation (in any case, the period of
preservation depends on the atmospheric conditions of the installation site and
on the availability of adequate protective storage for the material);
• Renew/maintain the preservation of material out of its shipping
case/box/container, etc, either stored in a warehouse/container or installed in
the plant during erection.
• Minimize the time and the operations required for de-preservation;
• Use non-toxic, nor carcinogenic, ecologically friendly preservative materials
whose disposal will involve a limited environmental impact.

Nuovo Pignone
6.2.1 Material inside shipping box/container
The material shipped to site for erection shall be inspected at reception to identify any
damage on material packing. Any damaged packing will require material re-
preservation.
If correctly stored as required by shipping documents, the un-opened box/containers
shall be periodically inspected just to confirm storage conditions and packing integrity,
up to the preservation expiry date indicated in the shipping documents.
Fig. 1 Packing list sample (typical)
Annex to this manual is provided a standard check list (SIC00010) to be reproduced in a

convenient number and to be filled on site to help periodical checks of box/containers.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 9 of 18
Nuovo Pignone
6.2.2 Material out of shipping box/container
After preservation expiry date, or after box opening, the material shall be individually in-
spected and periodically checked/maintained. The duration of such preservation may
be extended as much as necessary, however, for periods longer than 1 year and severe
storage ambient conditions it might be necessary to define a specific plan with addi-
tional preservation measures (lubricating skids, dry air blower machine openings for in-
ner parts inspection, etc.)
General guidelines
These guidelines are intended to be used by qualified personnel who are assumed to be
familiar with the operation required for the preservation and with the safe use of tools
and commonly used elements, materials and methods to be used for the preservation.
Who is in charge for the preservation plan execution must consider his individual local
peculiarities and circumstances and take additional protective measures, if needed.
Any sign of deterioration on the supplied items noted during the inspections
at site must be referred to BHGE for advice on remedial procedure.
Good judgment and proper safe practices to avoid personal injury and property dam-
age shall be exercised by the personnel who shall not intend the instructions as relieving
them from the responsibility of ensuring a competent care of equipment.
SAFETY WARNING
On several equipment “active preservation” might be in place, meaning that
potentially dangerous sources of energy of different type may be present.
This includes, for instance, energized electrical heaters, vessels & piping pres-
surized with inert gas, confined spaces filled with poisonous / flammable
preservation chemicals, reservoirs filled (even partially) with preservation oil,
etc. In such cases, specific safety precautions (such as LOTO procedure) must
be defined for each preservation point. A safety plan, or at least the minimum
safety prescriptions, must be added to the preservation forms.
For evaluation of specific risks, typical for duties carried out by personnel during preser-
vation activity, indications for prevention and protection operative measures and
modes, PPE to be used, refer to BHGE’s HSE Manual and to Job Safety Analysis (JSA).
Refer to section 2 (Safety Prescription) of this manual for detailed instructions about Job
Safety Analysis (JSA).
Warning: Before starting acctivities refer to the relevant “Job Safety

Analysis” (JSA): JSA 094.

In order to create a log for all sensible equipments the base document to be used is the
Piping and Instrument Diagram that shows most of the equipment.
Preferably the TAG system to be used on the forms should be CUSTOMER tagging, but it
is recommended to add also the BHGE internal tagging indicated on the relevant project
documentation.
A dedicated logbook for each system must be created and it should include a front page
with the list of all equipment contained (a highlighted P&ID copy could be a useful refer-
ence)
All items containing preservatives and inhibitors shall also have prominent warning la-
bels or tags, securely attached, advising the procedures, the cautions, the toxicity of
materials, the hazards, the necessity for removal prior to placing in service and any oth-
er salient cautioning factor.
All preservation consumables to be used shall be supplied with the following documen-
tation:
• Detailed chemical materials safety data sheet;
• Method statement and risk assessment for each substance, including the need
for using specific personal protection equipment/clothing (PPE);
• Waste disposal control.
NOTE: consumables for preservation renewal, such as oil, grease, desiccant, etc. are not
included in BHGE scope of supply, unless this is not specifically required according to
the contractual terms & conditions.
Any item of equipment protected internally with a desiccant shall be promi-

nently labeled or tagged "WARNING: DESICCANT INSIDE".
Desiccant shall be placed in a bag or other suitable container so as to prevent it dispers-

ing inside the equipment during storage period. To avoid localized rusting phenomena,
desiccant bags shall not touch any surface to be protected.
Warning labels and tags shall be secured with stainless steel wires or rivets (as appro-
priate) in such a way that they will remain attached during storage under adverse con-
ditions.
Any device equipped with electric anti-condensation heaters should be energized as

soon as possible after unpacking, in case using a temporary electric connection. Refer
to supplier manuals for details.
Prior to energization, the heater shall be checked for proper insulation and
grounding. The equipment shall be prominently labeled or tagged in such a
way to warn against electric shock, such as "WARNING: ENERGIZED EQUIP-
MENT".

Plastic film wrapping of equipment is a good method to give protection against direct
jets of water (e.g. heavy rain). However the following points shall be considered:
- Plastic sheeting shall be adequately secured and fastened to withstand wind gusts.
- In general, extensive contact between the plastic sheeting and the surfaces to be
protected, in particular for all non vertical surfaces, shall be avoided to reduce the
possibility of stagnation of moisture.
- Wooden pieces, or another equivalent method, shall be interposed to keep an air
gap between the two surfaces.
- An adequate sloping shall be given to the plastic sheeting over horizontal surfaces in
order to avoid water accumulation.
- Water pockets over sharp edges of equipment, together with the action of the wind,
can cause the film cutting with water splash over equipment. The subsequent evap-
oration would be then delayed by the plastic film and rusting phenomena could oc-
cur.
- The equipment, like electrical panels, requiring periodic checking, shall be wrapped
and sealed with plastic film in such a way to easily restore it after the inspection.

Loose Item Shipping Drawing (LISD)

To facilitate the identification and re-assembly at site of the components shipped
loose, the relevant LISD (Loose Items Shipping Drawing) can be used. The LISD should
be also used with the Assembly drawing to perform an integrated 3-way check against
shipping list and material at site.
The LISD can also be found attached to the packing list.
7.1.4 Norms for handling loads
Personnel qualification
Given the specificity of operations, it is obligatory to employ personnel trained and
skilled for working with lifting means, who knows the operating and safety procedures
for handling loads.
General safety rules

Observe what described below during loading/unloading operations and handling of
the machinery.
 Loading and unloading operations must be carried out by skilled personnel only.
 Throughout the process of lifting and movement of the devices, it is advisable to
have on site only the personnel in charge of unloading and transport; this is
required by the common safety rules, which prescribe respect areas around
suspended loads, lift trucks and/or moving bridge cranes.
 Use suitable personal protective equipment (ex., gloves, protective helmet, etc.).
 Delimit the loading/unloading area, keeping unauthorized persons at a distance.
 Never stand under suspended loads.
 To lift, use the appropriate connecting points provided on the machine.
 Check the Center of Gravity, weight and Lifting Points in the applicable drawings.
 Use ropes that permit guiding the load while standing at safety distance.
 The machine lifting speed must not exceed 40 mm/s ;
 Avoid sudden pulls.
 The horizontal translation of machine can be carried out only at the end of lifting.
 During horizontal movements, speed must not exceed 200 mm/s and pitching
must be avoided as much as possible, particularly during starts after standstill and
during stops.
Selection of lifting means.

Handling of the units that make up the machine assembly must be always carried out
with lifting means adequate to their mass and dimensions, to prevent injuries even
fatal to personnel assigned to loading/unloading operations and prevent damaging
the machine itself due to vibrations, impacts, etc.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 11 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
Below we report the weights of the main component parts of the supply:
Description Approx Weight (Kg.)

Centrifugal Compressor skid (total weight) 42680
Main Electric Motor 10000
Lube oil console (empty weight) 11000
Rundown tank (dry weight) 330
Process Piping skid (dry weight) 71029
UCS Panel 1200
VFD Panel (total weight) 11650
To prevent that an excessive stress is applied to the preassembled

components during the lifting, it is necessary to use, as much as possible,
all anchoring points provided for the lifting of each individual
component. Moreover, the load shall be evenly distributed between the
ropes, either by using a lifting beam, if available, or using chain blocks to
be tensioned prior to hoist the assembly.
On site, there must be available lifting and transport means (cranes, tractors, tracks,
etc.) of adequate characteristics and in quantity necessary to unload the arriving
materials and to move the same inside the site and bring them from the storage area
to the erection place.
The necessary means shall have a lifting capacity adequate to the weights of the
crates, paying attention to avoid the use of underrated means.
Verify that cranes are correctly set on a leveled plan and with supports lowered. Verify
that slinging is fit to handle the load without damaging it.
Supervision during loading/unloading operations is suggested, even if a

safety officer is present and operations are carried out by skilled
personnel/companies; doubts about the unloading tools and/or
procedures used could be decisive in avoiding accidents.

Lifting Cases, Cages and Machinery Parts

Stickers are placed on cases, cages or machinery parts, to indicate the type of ideal
lifting and forbid incorrect ones.
Lift cases with a fork lift truck. Pay

attention to place the forks at the
bottom of the case, avoiding hitting the
contents.
Some categories of load are packed in

wooden cases, whose structure cannot
be handled with a fork lift, but are
expected to be lifted with straps (A),
which are to be passed around the
bottom of the case, or directly by
hooking the machine structure (B) by
means of eye-bolts or shackles.
If, on packages, the symbols described above are barred with a cross, it means that
that method of lifting is strictly forbidden.
Some parts of machinery can be shipped with partial packages (wooden chassis) or
secured to the load by means of wooden ledges. During lifting of these parts, if not
provided with hooking eye-bolts, proceed to sling using preferably belts of textile
material suitable for the mass to be lifted. Look for the centre of gravity of each item to
be lifted, by varying the position of the slinging belts, in order to ensure correct
distribution of the load.
The protective nets, which make up the stationary and movable guards of the
machinery, are usually shipped unpackaged. To lift them, do not use ropes or hooks
inserted in the wire mashes of the net.

Variation Of Load Capacity According To The Vertex Angle
To know the actual load capacity of a tie-rod used with a given vertex angle, the
vertical load capacity is divided by the coefficient C of the table.
It is not advisable to use tie-rods with a divergence at the vertex greater than 120°.
Beyond that limit, the capacity varies greatly with small variations of the angle or of the
general conditions of use.

Example: let us assume that we have a tie-rod with 2 arms, with a vertical load
capacity of 10.000 kg and we want to know the load capacity with a 70° angle at the
vertex (the angle can be found on the table, knowing the ratio between the length of
each arm L and the distance of connections A). The vertical capacity (10.000 kg) is
divided by the coefficient read on the diagram in correspondence with the vertex angle
of 70° (C = 1.221):
actual capacity with vertex angle of 70° = 10.000 = 8.190 kg

7.1.5 Storage
This general section completes the specific re-preservation check lists

recalled in the section 6 “Quality Management at Site”.
PRESERVATION OF INSTALLATION MATERIAL
Prepare a suitable area for storing materials according to type.
During the storage phase, try to arrange the various components near the installation
area according to their priority of installation.
All materials arriving at site will be stored in right condition and in an appropriate and
codified place.
Heavy equipments to be installed directly into the final location will be protected from
adverse conditions using suitable coverings.
If the storage time is short, it is advisable to keep the equipments temporarily

protected by the shipping packing until the beginning of erection activities.
If the unit is not installed after receipt and is going to be stored for a considerable
amount of time, leave it in a protected area whose temperature ranges from –10
degrees C to +40 degrees C.
Outdoor conservation
Skids must be stored in a covered, clean place protected from humidity and vibrations.
Do not loosen or throw away any parts.

If possible, keep near the skids the tools and spare parts needed for operation, oil,
connecting pipes and all material supplied (see packing list). Periodically check the
condition of the above-mentioned parts.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 16 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
Make sure that connecting pipes are protected and covered in adequate manner with
their ends wrapped in cellophane, plastic or other material preventing penetration of
water and dust.
Regularly check the instrumentation of the aggregate.
In case of damage, immediately contact the manufacturer.
For outdoor conservation, an anti-corrosive grease can be applied onto exposed metal
parts such as couplings, etc., although a standard grease would work all the same.
In addition, it might be advisable to spray a protective wax layer onto the entire Skid
(most oil companies supply products with this quality) – for protection against external
corrosion.
Indoor conservation
A corrosion inhibitor must be used for long-term storage.
It is a CCI powder, which can be injected into separators and pipes via dry and clean
compressed air.
The advantage of this system lies in the fact that it is not necessary to remove the
product before start-up, because it tends to evaporate in the course of time.
Any open connections in the system must be closed.
Lubrication
Bearings of electric motors must be lubricated at the points specified at least once
every 6 months.
Electric parts
For conservation of terminals, junction boxes must be hermetically sealed with
application of silicon spots on a grease base.
During a long storage period, apply voltage to lube pumps and to the lube oil heating
element.
Painting
With a frequency of once every 6 months it is necessary to verify the condition of paint
coat, checking for signs of damage that may cause corrosion.
Therefore, maintenance of coating has to be carried out in accordance with the
Painting Specification.
For further information regarding storage, please refer to section 5 “STANDARD

PRACTICES”.

7.1.6 Materials arrival
When the materials arrive at site, the following checks are recommended:
 Once the boxes have been unloaded, it is highly suggested immediately to check
the materials arrived on site.
 Verify that the packing lists relative to the boxes correspond to the expected
incoming materials.
 Verify therefore that the packing list numbers and Job numbers correspond and
check that the number of boxes corresponds to the sent ones.
 Open the boxes inside storage rooms or areas protected from atmospheric
agents.
It is strongly advised that BHGE personnel is present at box opening;

external personnel could wrongly interpret the tags and/or the
description of the materials or not see lacks and/or damage of some
items.
 Check if materials inside the boxes correspond to the relative attached packing list
and are provided with suitable identification tags.
 Notify immediately to the N.P. Responsible any non-conformity found during the
material inspection: lack of materials, wrong materials (outside project scope) and
damaged materials.
 In the case of damaged material, file a report.
 Put the damaged material in a separate place from the one in good condition.
 Take a picture of every damaged item.
 Place in the archives all packing lists relative to the materials arrived, until the end
of installation.
 For all devices arrived at site assembled, for example hydraulic oil package or
auxiliary skid, it is important to verify if the relative components are in good
condition and to check for any missing components with the aid of drawings / bill
of materials.
 In case precise directives on the storage of some materials are not available, for
all items of averages dimensions (transportable by two or three people) a method
could be the following: prepare the materials in shelves by systems. All materials
carry an identification code and another code that provides its drawing code
and/or the relative material list. The materials could be therefore put in order
according to the system to which they belong (process gas system, lube oil system
cooling system etc.) and subsequently in alphanumeric order of material list code
and/or by material code.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 18 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
 Storing materials by typology, for example bolts, flanges, instrumentation etc,

even if seemingly logical, in reality could create big difficulties, because similar
items could belong to different systems.
 Identify the items having unclear tags or no tag at all. This would hugely simplify
the job of erection technicians. An example are the piping which often show the
material code; adding one label showing the reference line code would be enough
to save a remarkable quantity of time during the assembly.
 Make sure that all items have proper protection from atmospheric agents.
 For all materials that must be assembled in more advanced phases of the project,
once verifying that there is no non-conformity, provide for suitable storage and
preservation (if necessary).
 Verify that storage areas are protected and that their access is permitted only to
authorized personnel.
 The control and electrical boards shall be stored in a clean, closed and, if possible,
air conditioned environment, to prevent condensation that may damage the
electronic components and circuits. If not possible, the boards will be protected
with breathable covers.
 Piping may be stored outdoor for a period of 12 months, following the specific
storage and preservation prescriptions. If the storage time is to be longer, it is
necessary to store them under a shed. The piping will be normally shipped with the
external surface painted and plugged at the extremities.

The locking system (foundation bolts and foundation bolt sleeves) of main
skid is supplied by the customer.
It is necessary to check the position of the foundation bolts prepared for the skid. (see
Foundation Drawings SOK0971028).
For multi point compressor skid the gap between the I beam flange (on baseframe
perimeter only) and the machinery foundation block has to be filled up using anti-
shrinkage/epoxy grout.
For foundation bolts anti-shrinkage / epoxy grout will be poured after the machines
placement.
For this purpose follow next indications:
 Civil works management must reproduce the machine axis references on the
baseplate.
 Lay two harmonic wires parallel to the machine axis keeping them well tight with
counterweights.
 These two wires are necessary to align the bolts with one another and to
determine the height of the same bolts with respect to value zero.
 Run a geometric check of the foundations, of the positions of the foundation bolt
holes, with respect to the longitudinal and transversal axes and to the height of
elevation, as indicated in the foundation drawing. As a further check (both
longitudinal and transversal), verify that the sum of all partial distances (between
one pocket centre and another) is equal to the relative total value indicated on the
drawing.
 Verify that there are no rhomboidal errors in the positioning of the pockets. As
accurate as the measurements taken may be, both longitudinally and
transversally, the level positioning of the pockets may not be actually rectangular,
but it may also be more or less rhomboidal. In case of this type of error, although
the measurements may correspond, the subsequent assembly of the machines,
once the baseplate has been completed, may no longer be possible. To assess the
error, take the transversal and longitudinal drawing distances between two pairs
of foundation bolts, so that these are the cathetuses AB and BC of a right-angle
triangle, whose hypotenuse AC must be determined (see Fig.3)
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 22 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
 By applying the theorem of Pythagoras, the hypotenuse shall be:
AC= √ AB²+BC²
Fig.3. Foundation check (typical)
 Then, referring to Fig.3, measure the distance between bolt centers 1 and 6 and
between 5 and 2 and verify if both measurements correspond to the previously
calculated value. Should one of the two be greater or lesser, the configuration is
rhomboidal. Therefore, evaluate if this error is within the dimensional tolerance
indicated in the drawing and whether it is necessary to correct the positioning of
the pockets. Repeat the measurement for each pair of pockets.
 Verify the exact elevation of the top of the foundation with respect to the reference
value.

Jointly with the safety manager, verify that the area used for installation
is safe and equipped with adequate safety indications in accordance with
the safety plan of the site.
 It is necessary to agree the installation of the machine skid with the customer and
with the companies involved in the on-site activities. Particular characteristics of
the project and/or of the surrounding areas might require a special skid
installation sequence.
 It is necessary to check that all the materials required for installation operations
are available (shims, washers, lifting screws with relative support plates, etc…)
 Verify that the means and the devices required for the installation operations are
available before the beginning of the activity: lifting means, hydraulic jacks, etc.
 Verify and clean every single shim in order to avoid dirt or other foreign materials

 Verify the center distances of the foundation pockets and record the corresponding
values (see paragraph 7.2.2 and foundation drawing SOK0971028).
 As soon as the machine skid base lifted over the foundation, verify the absence of
debris on the supporting surfaces of the skid with particular attention for areas of
leveling screws installation.
 Remove the packing from the compressor and avoid damaging the devices, the
cables and the junction boxes of the machine. Avoid personnel in charge from
using cutting devices in order to remove the wooden coverage.
 Verify that the machine skid has not been excessively deformed during
transportation by causing bending or torsion of the skid. Mainly pay attention to
machines with a skid with big dimensions and that have just been transported.
Verify that the skid is fixed in the right installation points that must sustain the load
and the supporting plane is properly leveled.
 Before laying the machine skid down on the foundations, check the dimensions of
the holes of the machine skid, in order to verify if they match with the dimensions
of the foundation bolts or to verify the presence of obstructions. Even if the hole
diameter were slightly bigger than the bolt diameter, it is not certain that all bolts
will perfectly match the holes in centered position; therefore, proceed to install the
skids and then shift it on the foundations in order to execute the required
adjustment for machine alignment.
 Before laying machine skid on concrete basement, prepare leveling screws,
foundation bolts, nuts and washers; needed to reach the elevation shown in the
foundation drawing.
 For Motocompressor skid handling utilize suitable lifting beam and ropes as per
lifting sketch drawings.
 Verify that the lifting lugs are equipped with safety bolts.
 Verify the machine skid leveling by using precision levels. Put the level on machined
plates of the machine skids. To prevent painting or processing materials from
affecting the readings, carry out longitudinal and transversal measuring on the
machine skid. See the machine foundation design drawings for acceptability
values.
The skids need to be installed before the final cast, as the foundation
bolts are linked to the skid and dropped down into the pockets of the
concrete basement

7.4 PRELIMINARY ALIGNMENT OF THE UNITS
As pre-alignment it is understood the first step of the alignment activity, with the pur-
pose of aligning skids at the beginning of the installation activities (no pipes or ducts
connected); in pre-alignment, the alignment value must be reached.
With this operation, it will next be possible to assemble ducts and to align the structure
correctly with the machine; also, this will permit to start the interconnecting piping
assembly.

7.4.2 Guidelines
Before starting with pre-alignment, it is necessary to remove

transportation devices from motocompressor skid. These items are
located on shaft end for their locking.
Centrifugal compressor require locking device only in case thrust bearing
is not installed or per special transportation requirements.
Before turning the shafts for alignment, check that the lubrication of
shafts bearings: if necessary, pour a small amount of lube oil into the
bearings lube oil feed piping, and verify that the oil reaches all the
bearings. After wetting with oil, protect immediately the lube oil feed and
discharge piping of all the bearings.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 33 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
This check should assure that the shafts may be rotated for alignment without any
danger to the bearings.
NOTE: in case the foundation drawing requires a final grouting step, to be executed
under compressor skid, BHGE recommends that this step is executed only after that
the final alignment of the train has been verified, following the completion of process
piping fit-up and connection for all compressors of the train. As a matter of fact, the
final grouting blocks the compressor skid(s) in a definitive position, leaving little room
for alignment corrections at later stages.
7.4.3 Equipment necessary for verification:
 Measuring tape
 Vernier caliper
 Caliper for internal: refer to shaft ends distance
 Centesimal dial gauge: refer to alignment specification and alignment tool
characteristic.
Alignment is a sensitive activity:

Be sure to guarantee enough protection from atmospheric agents in the
areas interested by gauge reading.
Be sure to perform the reading always around the same ambient temperature.
Temperature has a great influence on alignment readings if difference during the day
is high.
 Prepare shims pack for Electric Motor, Gearbox and Ce/Co having care to clean and
lubricate every single sheet.
For shim pack lubrication use only suitable oil, thin type. In any case the
use of grease is not recommended.

7.4.4 Machine alignment
Note: This activity shall be executed by BHGE TA according to internal proprietary

procedure and drawings.
The train is composed by the Ce/Co 2BCL359 skid (with Gearbox) and Electric Motor
unit, as shown in the “Machinery foundation loads & notes” document (SOK0971028).
Align machines shafts moving the Ce/Co skid, acting on alignment device
7.4.5 Procedure for alignment
To determinate the correct distance between the units, it is important to check the face
to face distance between the shafts ends. This distance shall be adjusted moving the
units on their support, in order to match the value given in the Shaft Alignment
Specification.
Fig.11.DBSE Distance between shafts ends (see SOK0971028)
IMPORTANT – DBSE shall be checked and recorded. Check DBSE matching

with relevant coupling length, in case of mismatch contact HQ.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 35 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
Note: Machine shafts can move axially, within certain limits, therefore the DBSE shall
be measured positioning the shafts at their standard reference position.
For DBSE measurement and relevant shaft positioning criteria refer to SIC00308.
Remove the probes before aligning the machines.
Alignment with laser tool
For machine alignment with laser tool refer to “Machine Alignment

Procedure Easy Laser Type Laser System” SIC00228 and “Shaft Alignment
Specification”.
WARNING
Throughout this procedure (SIC00228), it is required to rotate the shafts of
driver/driven machine. To avoid damages to the rotors bearing areas, it is
necessary to provide lubrication or, at least, some oil wetting of the
bearings by injecting/spraying oil from bearings feed piping, opening
bearings covers, etc..
For smaller machines, normally the shafts rotation can be done manually,
applying the rotation torque to one of the shaft / hub bolts. Normally, a
spanner and an extension pipe are enough to provide the required torque.
For larger machines this is not possible due to the rotor heavy weight. In
this case it is necessary to use the rotation devices usually present on the
machine, paying attention to the safety implications, applying LOTO HSE
procedure to prevent the shafts to rotate when the operators have to
work on the alignment tool.
It is recognized that sometime the rotation devices may be unavailable
when the alignment activities are to be performed, such as during
preliminary alignment of new equipment, when many systems are not yet
installed / commissioned. In this case, instead of rotating the shafts, it is
possible to rotate the measuring units, manually sliding their support
(usually magnetic bases) along the shafts flanges. This is possible because
the quality of machining, in terms of geometry and surface finish, is well
within the tolerances of the alignment specification.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 36 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
However, the manual rotation of the measuring units may very easily
introduce errors that are very difficult to detect, therefore this technique
must be limited as much as possible, particularly when the alignment may
affect irreversible actions (such as cutting/welding of large piping
connected to the machines).
The operators executing the activity must be well experienced, having
tested both shafts and measuring units rotation methods, and having
proven in the past to be able to reach comparable results.
In any case, final alignment shall be performed rotating the shafts.
Alignment with gauges
 Set in middle position the drive and the driven shafts, and test if their “face to face”
distances respect the alignment specification requirement.
 Install the necessary alignment tool and the proper dial gauges, setting the same
positive reference value (1,5 mm) for all the gauges.
 Being sure that the flange of the alignment fixture is without any burr, that might
damage the compressor shaft flange, assemble the alignment fixture to this flange
as shown in sketch below.
 Arrange the other end of the fixture so the two dial indicators, positioned to read
the axial alignment, may read 1,5 mm, and with the same reading adjust the dial
indicator that reads the radial alignment.
Fig.12.Shaft alignment tool (typical)
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 37 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
Store the alignment fixture for future use.
 Align machines baseplate, using the thrust screws or hydraulic jacks located near
the baseplate points, releasing first the foundation bolts. Raise or lower the
baseplate by means of the levelling screws, adding or subtracting shims between
spherical washers and baseplate support plates.
 Make a pencil mark at the points in which the dial indicators touch the compressor
shaft flange (two marks on the shaft flange face, one mark on the shaft flange
peripheral surface).
 Rotate the machine shafts for 90 degrees in counterclockwise direction (which is
the operating direction of the shafts). Read the dial indicators and verify that
measurement is not affected from errors.
 Read the dial indicators and record the read values.
Repeat the readings at 180°, at 270° and check that at 360° the radial indicator
shows 1.5 mm and the axial indicators show 1.5 mm or equal different readings,
which means one or both the rotated shafts have moved axially during the
rotation (By adding up the readings of the axial dial indicators at each point it is
possible to simplify the procedure to correct any misalignment in the axial rotation
of one or both shafts).
Repeat the readings two or three times to check for continuity of readings and
every time check that , at 360 degrees point (the starting point), the radial indicator
reads 1,5 mm and the axial indicators read 1,5 mm or equal different readings.
 Compare the recorded readings with value of “Shaft alignment specification”
document and correct (if necessary) the differences loosening fixing screws and
using the regulation tools in machines support.
 At the end of the above operation, the machines shafts shall be aligned as shown
in “Shaft Alignment Specification”; all the baseplate shall be supported by all
spherical washers through the interposed shims, and the locking and releasing,
crosswise, of the foundation bolts shall not affect the alignment between the
above-mentioned shafts with obviously all thrust screws and all levelling screws
retracted.

Following section describes the grouting technique suggested by BHGE. Foundation

execution is not on BHGE responsibility and customer can choose to use an alternative

Preparation of materials-equipment; considerations:

• Prepare the foundation sub plates, with relative accessories; clean them and
remove any grease.
• Prepare one or more cement mixers (according to extent of work) in order to make
them work in parallel if necessary, and favors uninterrupted laying.
• Prepare the equipment necessary for casting, for example: funnels, batchers, cable
runs, stamps, small metal rods etc.
To allow the correct tightening of foundation bolts, it is necessary to position a

Polyethylene Coating on anchor bolts to protect the rod from concrete. See ITN02118 or
Job foundation drawing for details and protection dimension.
The lack of this protection can cause abnormal tensions on the rod and the
loosening of the bolts during machine life.

Build formworks around each sub-plate and relative foundation bolt and leaving out
leveling screws. These formworks must be sturdy and well anchored, and must not allow
cement seepage. For this purpose, eliminate spaces between the planks of the formworks
using stucco or plaster, depending on the case. The formwork must be about 1 cm high
below the resting surface of the scaffolding and about 20 cm wider than the width of the
plates (10 cm per side). Leave 18 cm from the side where the casting will be carried out.
We recommend building the internal sides of the formworks in only 2 elements, and the
making of the other 3 sides inter-connected and removable towards the outside (see

This paragraph defines the methods to be used to remove all foreign bodies and
ensuring through cleaning of all piping, filter bodies, and other components which will
come in contact with lube oil.
Prior to begin oil flushing ensure that Red Flag Review 1st milestone (TG1)
have been sucessfully executed.
Note:
If MCC and UCP have to be used for lube oil pump(s) control during flushing activities,
the relevant power-up procedures, normally belonging to Commissioning phase, shall
be at least partially anticipated to Installation-Precommissioning. If that is the case, for
these operations it is required to apply all checks and prescriptions included in the
relevant first sections of TPC manual.
If instead, alternative lube oil pump control is used, such as through a provisional power
connection and using a local switchboard for manual control, panels power-up will
remain in Commissioning.
Oil is toxic for inhalation, ingestion and prolonged contact with the skin.
Always use oil proof gloves and protective clothing. Clean immediately
and carefully any part of the body that has come into contact.
 It is very important to use extreme care during material handling.

 Verify that fire-fighting equipment and other items required for safety are
available.
 Use proper tools.

7.7.4.3.2 General
In general terms, lube oil system cleanliness is essential to avoid damages to the
machine’s bearings and shafts, therefore a system flushing is normally recommended.
However, it is to be considered that the Motocompressor skids have been both
thoroughly flushed in the factory before shipment.
This procedure intends to plan these activities for a successful and safe performance.
This document is in compliance with the BHGE flushing procedure.
Flushing shall be carried out when all the oil system components have been completely
installed.
After flushing must be certified the right re-installation of piping and devices as per
relevant drawings.
7.7.4.3.3 Recommendations for on-site piping assembly/modification:
Flushing of piping built/modified on site shall be executed by-passing the machines.

Oil system piping built or completed on-site must be pickled and not sanded in all the
cases. This operation shall be executed by specialized company.
BHGE personnel shall inspect the pickled and passivated piping prior to authorize their
installation.
It is advisable to use standard pre-cleaning operation prior to install them definitely (it is
advisable also to execute the first welding in T.I.G. & following fillings with electrodes).
The operations used for preliminary cleaning, depend on the amount of impurity to be
removed downstream the piping fabrication.
The standard cleaning operations that can be used are:
 Pickling.
 Blowing with compressed air.
 Brushing (mechanical or manual)
When the cleaning operations are complete, the BHGE Technical Advisor shall verify the
correct cleaning of the piping and the material storage procedure in order to avoid
impurity entering inside the cleaned pipes.

TYPICAL MESH SCREEN DETAILS

They can be prepare as shown in figure below. On larger piping, however, it is advisable
to use cone filters (see ITN84018-84046), using the same double layer structure (20
mesh + 100 mesh).
Approved sealant such as Motorsil D
Fig.25.- Preparation of screen net (typical)
They shall be positioned at the end of each leg of circuit to be flushed, installed on the
last available flange. The mesh screen sets the limit between the clean side (upstream)
and the dirty side (downstream). Whenever possible, the mesh screen should be
installed on a vertical position, in such a way that the upstream side is upward. This
prevents that the oil, flowing backward when the flushing is stopped, washes away the
particles left on the screen, giving false positive test results.
It is recommended to install each mesh screen with two manual valves,

one upstream and another downstream the mesh screen itself (see
sketch below).
Install mesh screens always upstream of the temporary by-passes, using a

configuration as shown in the sketch reported below.

TYPICAL MESH SCREEN DETAILS

It is recommended to install mesh screens as shown in the
sketch reported on the left.
Mesh The function of manual valves installed upstream and
screen downstream mesh screen is:
Manual • To cut off from circuit every single mesh screen and let
valves inspect one mesh screen at a time without stopping the
flushing activity.
• To adjust the flow rate in the various lines of the flushing
circuit, chocking the flow on larger pipes, if necessary, to
balance the oil speed on branches with different internal
diameter.
• To shut off a line whose mesh screen has already shown
that the preliminary acceptance criteria is met, and let
flushing activities continue on other branches.
NOTE: never close contemporarily all mesh isolation valves on all flushed lines while the
lube oil is running, because this would cause system overpressurization and pump
overheating.

Mesh screens can be used only as preliminary acceptance test for each section of the
circuit, however the overall flushing is formally acceptable when the particles count
executed on an oil sample, taken from the most distant oil feed, can be classified as
NAS 1638 class 6 or ISO 4406 class 15/12.
Fig.26.- Example of the flexible tube type that can be used

(check operating pressures for selection)
The utilization of inadequate rubber piping and relative clamps can result
in hugely dangerous oil leaks. For this reason, it is important that flexible
piping and relative clamps be properly dimensioned, in accordance with
operating pressure/temperature and piping dimensions, and compatible
with the type of oil used.
7.7.4.3.5 Working zone preparation
 The working zone near oil tank must be kept clean and access allowed only to the
personnel charged of flushing operations.
 Provide the necessary portable fire extinguishers positioned along the flushing
lines.
 Drains must be capped to avoid the oil contamination in case of leakage.
If there are no local pumps operating switches provide for a communication system
between flushing zone and pumps control room in order to operate very quickly in case

 Verify that all thermostats inserted in the oil circuit to be flushed have the
temperature probe installed; otherwise close the installation hole with an
appropriate plug.
 Oil Filters Differential Manometer shut-off valves in OPEN position.
 Oil filters drainage valves in “SHUT” position.
 Oil filters equalization valves in “SHUT” position.
 Oil filters differential test valves in “SHUT” position.
 Control Panel must be in automatic (or, at least, the system must be able to
intervene automatically) making sure that:
• Oil heaters control (ON/OFF) is in automatic.
• Oil heaters turn off when lube oil pumps stops or for lube oil low level.
 The BHGE Technical Advisor shall perform (where accessible) a visual inspection
of the oil tank, prior to begin flushing operations. Remove protective oil from oil
tank.
 Particular attention shall be used prior to the oil tank filling:
• To quantify the amount of oil to be insert in the tank, it shall be considered that
when pumps will be started and the oil will fill the system, the tank level will
decrease. The lowering must be in order to maintain the active heaters
elements under the oil level; the pumps suctions must remain deep enough to
guarantee their function and avoiding cavitation.
• All the heaters elements must stay under the oil level (during flushing) in order
to avoid their overheating and possible oil carbonization. Check the correct level
switches operation which deactivate the heaters in case of minimum oil level.
• Utilization of a net screen in the oil inlet during tank filling. This action will avoid
to the eventual impurity present inside the oil barrel to go inside the tank.
• It is a mandatory prerequisite for this operation that the equipment used for
tank emptying and refilling is inspected and formally certified as clean. It is also
required that the LO tank is refilled through a 100 mesh screen.
 Filters cartridges bodies internal cleanliness check. Cartridges integrity & correct
installation check.
 Check of the differential pressure gauges used for indicate the filters cartridges
status.

7.7.4.3.8 Oil tank filling
 The oil tank must be filled up to the established level, taking into consideration
that, when the pump(s) starts part of oil will fill the piping and the oil level in the
tank will decrease.
 The oil filling will be carried out through the relevant filter on the oil tank, in order
to avoid the foreign material introduction.
Prior to fill the tank, it is necessary to confirm that the oil quality is in in
conformity with BHGE prescriptions (ITN52220.00÷05). BHGE site team is
requested to verify the oil quality following the instructions of the BHGE
internal document SIC00341 - LUBRICATING OIL SELECTION AT SITE -
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR THE PROPER OIL SELECTION FOR TANK
FILLING. Customers may ask for assistance to BHGE on the validation of
the selected oil type by contacting BHGE headquarter. In both cases, it
will be necessary to have available the lube oil datasheet containing its
characteristics.
7.7.4.3.9 Piping flushing procedures
 It is recommended to use both main and auxiliary pumps to carry out the flushing
activities, if possible, to increase flow rate (refer to marked up P&ID).
 Flushing oil must not enter in contact with hot parts to not exceed the flame point
(approx. 150°C.).
For a more efficient flushing, oil shall be warmed. If the oil heaters of
machine are not enough for this purpose, Company in charge of the
installation will prepare the adequate means.
Flushing activities should be carried on with oil temperature between
50°C and 70°C.
Lube oil heater(s) should be switched on and off every few hours, cycling
temperature and causing a thermal gradient helping detachment of dirt
from the circuit.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 81 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
The pump(s) operating point must always be within its operational

curves, in order to not damage the pump and/or the motor. The motor
current shall always be maintained below the rated current, and the
pump discharge pressure shall not be lower than 3÷3,5 barG. If
necessary, an additional pressure loss shall be introduced to compensate
for the extra flow due to the flushing by-passes, either by partially
closing a manual valve, if present in the job arrangement, or by inserting
an orifice in the circuit.
 Check the correct installation of the oil tank level indicator.

 Drain the tank protection oil.
 Check the conditions of the oil tank internal parts.
 Check the correct installation of the tank oil drain valves.
 Remove the orifices (in case of regulating orifices, open completely) from the oil
supply pipes to the bearings.
 Disconnect and plug the sensing line (tubing) from the lube oil header pressure
regulator in order to prevent damages caused by overpressurization, for instance
caused by any downstream piping obstruction, valve closing, etc (see typical
picture below).
 For skids/consoles already flushed at the factory, it is not required to do any

special preparation for flushing of the on skid components, such as removing
valves, orifices and instruments, blinding or spading oil feeds to any auxiliary (such
as auxiliary gearbox, torque converter, etc.), particularly for whatever is part of the
system downstream of the LO filters.
 Instruments isolation valves shall be closed during flushing to prevent
contamination of impulse lines. However, it is suggested to open each drain and
relevant isolation valve to briefly flush each line towards the end of flushing.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 82 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
 It is recommended to execute piping flushing with filter cartridges installed, and

replace them after flushing activities, during system restoring.
 Disconnect the oil supply piping to the bearings and install the temporary piping
returning to the oil tank, by-passing the bearings.
 Fill the tank with flushing oil (see oil specification).
 Install a local temporary switch to operate the oil pump(s).
 Verify the electrical supply on the MCC (check that the pump & heaters breakers be
extracted).
 The Company in charge of the installation should provide additional heaters if
required to meet BHGE requirements.
 Verify the piping connections of the lines submitted to flushing operation.
 Check that all interception valves on the local instrument panel be closed.
 Insert the breakers of the pump & heaters on the MCC.
 Start up the oil pump(s) operating by the local temporary switch.
 Stop the pump(s) after 30 seconds and verify the oil leakage from the flanged
couplings.
 Start up again the stand-by oil pump(s).
 Put in “ON” position the heaters switches.
 During the oil flushing operations, it is recommended to keep a temperature range
between 50 and 70 °C.
 Lube oil heater(s) should be switched on and off every few hours, cycling
temperature and causing a thermal gradient helping detachment of dirt from the
circuit.
 Check the piping oil leakage with the oil at rated temperature.
 Use a rubber hammer or fixed/portable pneumatic vibrators to create vibrations in
the tubes during oil circulation, can give considerable results in the removal of
particles or foreign objects that might adhere to the inner surface of the piping.
 Install the meshes and flush for 1-2 hours, inspect and clean the meshes, then
restart and flush for 4-6 hours. Repeat 2-3 times, then remove meshes and
continue flushing.
 The oil flushing activity will be carried out continuously for 72 hours (without mesh
screen installed).
 After 72 hours of flushing install mesh screen then let oil flow for 1 hour and check
mesh screen cleanliness. If debris are found, remove mesh screens, perform
another 24 hour flushing and repeat test (cleanliness after 1 hour flushing with
mesh screens installed). If necessary repeat 24 hour flushing and relevant test as
described before until mesh screens are found clean.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 83 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
 If the preliminary acceptance criteria (mesh screen test) give a positive result, will
be performed the oil analysis. The overall flushing is formally acceptable when the
particles count executed on an oil sample, taken from the most distant oil feed,
can be classified as NAS 1638 class 6 or ISO 4406 class 15/12 (see section
7.7.4.3.7).
If the oil analysis gives a positive result:
 Switch off the heaters and shut down the auxiliary oil pumps.
 Restore the lube oil circuit as requested by the schematic, ready for operation.
 A visual or boroscope inspection of the lines is recommended before
reconnecting bearings feed lines.
On attached marked-up P&ID it is suggested the piping interconnection for oil system
flushing, to be executed in the following sequence:
 Lube oil main system line flushing.

 Run down tank system flushing.
Normal flushing procedures should not impair oil characteristics. The oil used for flush-
ing can be filtered and used again for refilling oil tank, if physical and chemical oil
characteristics are confirmed to be comparable with the ones specified in ITN52220.01,
by means of specific analysis.
Please refer to SIC00006 for general notes on lube oil system flushing.
In case of any discrepancies in the procedure, please consult with BHGE

7.8.2.5 DRY GAS SEAL COMPRESSORS SYSTEM BLOWING
The scope of these operational instructions is to correctly define the Dry Gas Seal (DGS)
system lines blowing procedure for centrifugal compressor. This operation is necessary
to ensure that the lines are free from dirt and debris that, carried by the gas, may enter
into the compressor DGS internal parts, damaging them.
See attached marked up P&ID for system to be blown.
This document is in compliance with the BHGE blowing procedure.
The failure to remove these materials can seriously affect the functioning
and/or lifespan of the machines and their accessories.
7.8.2.5.1 Blowing preliminary activities
This procedure is applicable to the following typical DGS system lines:

A. Separation gas supply (N2 inlet)
B. Process gas supply
B1: From Ce/Co discharge to seal gas panel
B2: From seal gas panel to seal gas booster
B3: From seal gas booster to seal gas heater
B4: From seal gas heater to Ce/Co
C. N2 to tertiary seals
D. Primary vent
D1: From Ce/Co to seal gas panel
D2: Output lines from seal gas panel to flare
E. N2 to secondary seals
E1: injection
E2: to flare
1.1. All lines, prior to be blown, shall be verified for conformity against P&ID and other
design documents, and all tests required by line spec shall have been successfully
completed. The relevant certification shall be available.
11-19-E 110.6636 P. 92 of 134

Nuovo Pignone
1.2. Manually blow / clean the area close to the flanges prior to disconnect any pipe,
particularly on compressor, in order to prevent any dirt to enter inside.
1.3. Disconnect A. B, C and E lines (seal gas and process gas) on both sides, disconnect D
lines (vents) from compressor end side only. Immediately protect the open ends to
prevent contamination of the lines and other system components.
1.4. Isolate / disconnect any instruments from the lines to avoid any damage due to over-
pressure, which can occur in the different steps of the blowing.
1.5. Depending on their complexity, each line may be blown in segment, from a
component to the next one on the same line (from filter to valve, from valve to flange,
etc.). Alternatively, it may be convenient to execute the blowing for the entire line, from
end to end. This is the required option if a final cleaning acceptance test is required.
1.6. The line main components shall be set up as follows:
• All manual valve present on the flow direction shall be fully open;
• All vent / instrument isolation valve shall be closed.
• All orifices shall be removed and attached close to their position in order to
facilitate the system restoring.
• The check valves shall be removed and replaced with a clean temporary spool.
If feasible, it may be sufficient to remove the internal plug.
• The control / actuated valves may be left in place provided that they may be
forced to fully open position; otherwise they shall be removed and replaced with
a clean temporary spool.
• Filters internal cartridges shall be removed if included in the line blowing. At the
end, the filter bodies shall be manually cleaned prior to reinstall the cartridges.
1.7. Arrange a suitable 1” flexible dry air line. It is important to ensure the quality, the
specification and the integrity of the flexible for this activity. It could be really
dangerous in fact to use a cheap low quality flexible. Main isolation valve must be
located in the pipe just upstream the flexible for safety reason. Downstream the
flexible it is highly suggested to use two valves in line. One valve in fact can be
accidentally opened causing a danger for the workers. The flexible must be provided
with safety lines on both ends. Arrange a set of flange adapters to connect the flexible
to all lines to be blown. Ensure the flexible is not touching against sharp edges.
1.8. Considering the plant instrument dry air can be slightly dirty, a 100 mesh screen with
back screen must be installed upstream the pipe to be blown.
1.9. Firmly fasten the exit end of each single piping to be blown, directing the gas jet away
from the machines and/or the walkways. To do that, an extension piping, solidly
anchored, can also be used, if necessary.
1.10. Fence the blowing area by means of appropriate safety net and/or barrier tape.
Establish and enforce a safety plan. Arrange a Safety Talk with the staff to provide
information on the activities to be done and forbid the unauthorized entrance in the
fenced area.

7.8.2.5.2 Blowing procedure
WARNING: never exceed the piping rating
1.1. Connect the dry air flexible to the pipe to be blown.

1.2. Open the blowing manual valve and let the dry air full flow for one minute, close the
valve and repeat the blowing for at least 5 times. A white clean rag, placed in front of
the exit, properly fixed at a suitable distance in order not to be blown away, may be
used to assess approximately the cleanliness of the line.
1.3. As final cleaning acceptance test, install a 100-mesh double-layer special screen at
the end of the line to be blown. The screen must be previously visually examined to
guarantee its perfect cleanliness.
1.4. Repeat the blowing for at least 3 times in the same condition as described above. At
the end of this operation, carefully disassemble the screens, paying particular
attention not to let any dirt in, or to fall down. Preserve the screens in special
containers or wrap them up in perfectly clean white paper. The acceptability criteria is
given at paragraph 7.8.2.5.3.
1.5. Repeat steps 1.1 to 1.4 for A, B, C and E (seal gas) lines / segments.
1.6. Repeat steps 1.1 to 1.2 for D (primary vent) lines / segments.
1.7. As an additional precaution, during screen removal/installation, always depressurize
the flexible fully by operating the upstream valve.
1.8. If the line is really dirty and the blowing by dry air is not effective, evaluate to perform
an additional chemical cleaning.
Note: vent lines shall be blown to remove possible residues from piping
and/or check valves and prevent foreign objects from falling in the
machine channels towards the DGS. The blowing is executed in the same
way as described above, but no cleaning acceptance test is required.

7.10 PROCESS PIPING CONNECTION
The scope of this section is to define the necessary steps to assure the correct
installation, connection and alignment between the process piping flanges and the
Centrifugal Compressor flanges.
Unless it can be proven by Customer that the suction line of the

compressor is free from dirt and debris, it is required to install a
temporary filter on compressor suction line, equipped with differential
pressure transmitter for DP monitoring at startup, in order to prevent
any possible FOD (foreign object damages) that could affect the integrity
of centrifugal compressor internal parts.
Without above precautions, BHGE do not recommend to proceed with
centrifugal compressor start-up.

7.10.2 General
After levelling and grouting the skid, the machine must be aligned with driver as per
specification, after which it is possible to carry out piping installation (including piping
related to instruments and electrical connections).
During this period, the equipment shall remain preserved and protected in accordance
with supplier procedure.
To prevent ingress of dirt and foreign matter, it shall be ensured that all routes and
openings are properly blinded off and sealed. Dust blinds shall remain installed until
final alignment.
Piping shall not be rigidly connected to the equipment before the final pipe supports
have been installed. To avoid undue stressing of rotating equipment, the installation of
piping shall never start from rotating equipment nozzles. Piping upstream and
downstream of the equipment shall be fitted from the nearest anchor.
During piping construction, it is allowed to connect it to the machine. The pipe shall be
properly supported (with temporary supports) in order to avoid stress or loss of
alignment on the machine itself. The machine shall be locked in position.
Welding shall not be done on piping connected to the equipment

foundation, base plates or the equipment itself, without proper direct
earthing-back to the welding transformer. In order to prevent damage to
equipment bearings by stray currents, earth cables shall not be
connected to any part (base plate, pedestal, drive, etc.) of rotating
equipment
Before the equipment is offered for the final alignment inspection, all work on piping
systems shall be completed. This includes pressure tests, cleaning or air blowing
(strictly recommended, see NP Procedure SIC00007) and installation of permanent
supports (fixed, sliding and spring supports). During these activities the piping shall be
disconnected from the equipment.
Permanent supports (fixed, sliding and spring supports) have to be in the correct final
position. Spring supports have to be charged with the established load (cold position)
with lock-pins fitted on them (lock-pins are free to move while the supports are
adjusted for the calibrated load on cold position).

rotating equipment and associated piping.
 Before starting any operations, make a preliminary centerline check between the
process piping and the compressor.
 Remove the yellow blind flanges from the process piping.
 Clean the flange internal surfaces, removing foreign materials (grease, dust, etc)..
 Make sure that the internal surface of flanges is clean and groove-free, to prevent
gas seepage.
Note: the preliminary measurement and pre-adjustment of the process piping spools
are outside of BHGE scope of work, and is not covered here.
 Attach the mating flange to the compressor flanges, making sure that the seal
gasket has been correctly installed. All tie-rods have to be installed in order to
check correct flange holes alignment.
 Adjust the upstream process piping, assuring the correct gap between it and the
mating flange.
 Spot-weld the mating flange to the process piping, ensuring that it can just sustain
the flange weight.
 Disconnect the mating flange from the compressor by removing the tie-rods.
Note: do not proceed to the final welding with the mating flange attached to the
compressor, as this may apply stressing forces to the compressor.
 Weld the counter flange to the upstream process piping.
