FUEL Ol CONDITIONING SYSTEM
COMMISSIONING & TESTING PROCEDURE
INTRODUCTION
‘The purpose of this document is to provide the commissioning engineer the system
operation requirements and parameters to ensure that the system is fully operational as
designed.
Attached for reference in Appendix 1 is Revision 2 of Section 10 of the System Operation
Manual entitled Fuel Oil Unloading, Storage and Handling System. This System
Operation section should be fully reviewed verify that all system componeats have been
commissioned.
Also attached for reference in Appendix 2 is a Fuel Oil Conditioning System Logie
‘Narrative. This narrative should be reviewed with the operation of the system to verify
that all system programming has be properly completed.
TESTING PROCEDURE
FUEL OTL UNLOADING
‘The Colombian ACPM fuel oil should be unloaded and treated with anti-oxidant as
described in Section 10.4.1, 10.4.2, and 10.5.1 of Appendix 1. The Birst tanker truck of
fuel should be treated with an anti-oxidant flow rate of 5) pom»
‘The fuel exiting the unloading system (after anti-oxidant treatment) should then be tested
to verify the results of the anti-oxidant. The set point of the anti-oxidant metering pumps
should be set based on the results of the Oxidation Stability of Distillate Fuels, ASTM
2274 test. Laboratory tests provided the following results based on Yue worst case fuel:
2.1.2.1 Oxidation Stability, Prior to treatment: 6.0 mg/100m
2.1.2.2 Oxidation Stability, w/ 25 ppm of anti-oxidant: 2.5 mg/100m
2.1.2.3 Oxidation Stability, w/S0 ppm of anti-oxidant: 1.2 mg/100m1
2.1.2.4 Oxidation Stability, w/75 ppm of anti-oxidant: 0.6 mg/100m!
2.1.2.5 An Oxidation Stability level of less than 2.0 mg/100ml should be maintained per ASTM
D274
2.1.2.6 The process of testing the tankers as received and testing the fuel after treatment should
be continued until the test results are successful and repeatable.op/i7/98 THU 11:12 FAX 913 296 4426 BIBB & ASSOC.
2.1.2.7 After the fue! oif storage tank is full, follow up tests should be taken prior to the
‘centrifuge skid to verify the fuel oil quality.
22 FUEL OIL CENTRIFUGING
2.2.1 The fuel is discharged from the fuel oil storage tank through the fuel oil conditioning
system, The fuel should be conditioned per Sections 10.4.4 - 10.4.8 and 10.5.3 - 10.5.5
of Appendix 1. The following should be verified:
2.2.1.1 Demineralized water injection at a rate of 0.5 gpm. a 7%
2.2.1.2 Demulsifir injection rate of 0.05 gpm (3.0 gph). ot yn
2.2.1.3 Centrifuge in proper operation per $70-OM-001-01
2.2.1.4 BS&W roonitor in proper operation The Bottom Solids end Water should measure less
than .05% by volume after centrifuging.
2.2.2. Upon operation of the conditioning system, the Fuel Oil Buffer tank will fill to the HIGH
level, and the 3-way valve will automatically transfer re-circulate the conditioned fuel oil
back to the Fuel Oil Storage Tank. This will alow the testing of the fuel oil conditioning,
system prior to operating the combustion turbine on fuel cil
2.2.3 Following the fuel conditioning, fuel samples should be taken al the discharge of the
conditioning system and analyzed onsite by the Testing Laboratory.
2.2.4 The results should be compared to the liquid fuel requirements of Exhibit 19, attached in
Appendix 3. For clarification, attached please find both Exhibit 19 as well as the
Westinghouse sammary of Exhitit 19 requirements,
22.5 Once the quality of the fuel oil conditioning system has been verified and meets the
requirements in Exhibit 19, the system should be run in the se-circulstion mode aad be re-
sampled once an hour for aa eight (8) hour period to verify the fuel quality,
2.2.6 When the fuel conditioning system has operated for an eight (8) hour period successfully,
the fuel should then be made available to operate the combustion turbine.
2.2.7 Westinghouse approval of the fuel should be obtained.
2.2.8 While operating the combustion turbine on the conditioned Colombian ACPM fuel, the
conditioned fuel should be sampled once per eight (8) hour period for the first three (3)
days of operatiomto ensure that the system is continuing to operete properly.

SECTION 10
FUEL OIL UNLOADING, STORAGE AND
HANDLING SYSTEM
10.1. SYSTEM PURPOSE
‘The porpose of the fuel oil system is to provide fuel to the combustion mrbine in the event the
natural gas system is disabled and/or not available,
10.2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW AND GENERAL OPERATION
‘The fuel ol! unloading system is designed to accept oil deliveries from oil transport trucks, Truck
unloading facilities are provided to simultancously unload fuel oll from one (1) up to four (4)
40,000 liter tanker trucks, Fuel entering from each truck unloading comsection pass through a
duplex strainer and into a fuel oil unloading pump, Each pump is sized to waload a tank teuck in
Jess than thirty (30) minutes.
As the oil is unloaded and passed to the 1,400,000 gallon storage tank, it is injected with an
antioxidant to stabilize the fuel for anticipated long periods of storage. The amoust of antioxidant
being metered is dependent on the mmber of trucks being unloaded simultaneously. ‘The
antioxidant is stored in chemical feed modules, and is part of a metering pump and control system
at the fucl ofl unfoading pumps.
‘The antioxidant system is skid mounted and is operated in the automatic mode. The metering pump
is set to start automatically when a fuel oi! unloading pump is stated; the recommended antioxidant
is Betz-Dearvorn fuel additive Spec-Aid 8Q404, and is required at an additive rate of 25 ppmw, or
at a rate of 0,67 gph per tanker being unloaded. Currently, the maximuss unloading rate per truck
is 413 gpm maximum. Figure 1 shows the required chemical consumption in the fuel oll for the
mumber of tankers being unloaded.
‘The unloading pumps also forward the oil through a totalizing flow meter which measures the
amount of fuel being unloaded.
‘When fuel oil is required, it is pumped from the fuel oil storage tank through a floating pump
suction to the fuel ofl centrifuge system where it is injected with 2 demulsifying agent; it is then
passed through a second duplex strainer and pump, injected with demineralized water, passed
through a static mixer, and finally passed through a bank of centrifuges. Three (3) ceatcifuges are
‘mounted in parallel on an auxiliary skid to filter and clean the oil. The demulsifier is added through
a second chemical dosing pump which is mounted on an auxiliary skid next to the centrifuge skid
‘The chemical dosing pump and the demineralized water injection are mixed together and arc
controlled by the fuel oil centrifuge panel. Finally, the strainer has a differential switeh which
alarms back to the centrifuge skid whea the pressure differential is 3 PSID. When this occurs, the
strainer basket should be switched, and the dirty basket cleaned.
