2.4 Design Codes and Standards
Appendix 1.0 lists all the major industry codes, standards and Venezuelan
Government Regulations, which are to be used in the design, fabrication and
installation of the Hamaca Crude Upgrader Project.
Petrolera Ameriven has directed that pressure vessels will be ASME code-stamped
and pressure piping will be designed to ANSI B31.3.
The words “codes and standards” are often used interchangeably; however, each has
a specific meaning;
Code: A systematic arrangement or collection of rules and regulations designed to

insure minimum acceptability of safety, design or operation. Codes are
generally enforceable and measurable.
Standard: An acknowledged basis for comparing or measuring quantity, weight,
dimensions, value, and quality. It is a voluntary reference set up to
establish or specify a level of excellence or attainment.
Recommended Practice: A publication of accumulated knowledge and experience
intended to facilitate the design and procurement of a particular piece of
equipment.
Examples:
ASME B31.3 is a CODE for pressure piping used in refinery service.

00-PD-001B
ASME B16.5 is a STANDARD for dimensions of steel pipe flanges and flanged
fittings.
API 530 is a Recommended Practice for Calculation of Heater-Tube Thickness in

Petroleum Refineries.
2.5 Environmental Requirements
2.5.1 Overview
Environmentally responsible construction and operation, which preserves

the natural characteristics and environmental features of the Jose area, is a
primary objective of the Hamaca Crude Upgrader project design team.
The project will comply with all applicable federal and local Venezuelan
environmental, health, and safety regulations and will incorporate good
engineering practice and operations/maintenance policies and procedures
to minimize environmental emissions and discharges.
The project EIA,1 included in the General Technical documentation,

contains detailed information regarding the environmental requirements
for, and features of, the project. Important environmental aspects
incorporated in the project design include the following:
Fired heaters and boilers will utilize amine-scrubbed refinery fuel gas
containing less than 160 ppmv sulfur compounds; no fuel oil firing
will be employed.
Three 45-percent Claus sulfur recovery units with tail gas treating will
be installed to minimize facility sulfur emissions.
Low-NOx burners will be provided to minimize emission of nitrogen

oxides.
Wet systems to handle petroleum coke will minimize fugitive particulate

emissions.
NOTES:

Bolívar, Instituto de Recursos Naturales Renovables, Noviembre de 1998.

00-PD-001B
Hydrocarbon storage tanks will be equipped with vacuum/pressure

conservation vents or floating roofs to control emission of volatile
organic compounds (VOC).
Gas barrier seals for compressors in hydrocarbon service and dual

mechanical seals for selected light hydrocarbon liquid pumps, as
well as sealed oily-water sewer drains, to reduce fugitive VOC
emissions.
On-site facility waste water treating system consisting of CPI separators,

dissolved air flotation, and biological treatment which will produce
a facility effluent stream meeting the applicable standards for
ocean discharge.
Segregated waste water collection systems whereby potentially

contaminated operating areas will be curbed or otherwise
contained and drained to the waste water treatment system for
treatment of collected waste water and run off prior to discharge.
Maximum practical reuse of waste water streams including the use of

stripped sour water for hydroprocessing wash water, desalter
makeup, and coker water, and the use of reverse osmosis reject
water as cooling water makeup.
Extensive recycling of solid waste streams in the delayed coking

process.
Selection of recyclable/reclaimable catalysts, where practical, to

minimize solid/hazardous waste generation.
Equipment noise abatement and attenuation systems as necessary to

meet applicable fenceline and occupational exposure standards.
2.5.2 Regulatory Requirements
The Upgrader facility will comply with applicable Venezuelan

environmental regulations. Table 2.5.2 identifies the Venezuelan
regulations which potentially apply to the project. In addition to these
minimum requirements, the project may become subject to other facility
specific environmental limitations and mitigation measures as a result of
the Venezuelan permitting and environmental review process. These
additional requirements, if any, will be identified as permitting of the
project proceeds. The project design team has also decided, in specific
cases, to adopt certain U.S. (Texas) standards or World Bank

00-PD-001B
environmental guidelines that are more stringent than the applicable

Venezuelan regulations (see the following section).

2.6.2 Fuel Gas Composition and Heating Values

00-PD-001B
Fuel gas to be used on the Hamaca Crude Upgrader Project will be a

mixture of refinery gas and natural gas. Typical fuel gas (normal
operation) compositions, heating values and operating conditions at users
are provided in Table 2.6.2. The design of fired heaters will be based on
the fuel gas compositions and heating values as shown in Table 2.6.2.
Natural gas from the pilot gas header will be used for pilot burners. During
start-up or when the Delayed Coker Unit is down, natural gas will also be
used for firing the fired heaters. Therefore, all fired heaters should also be
designed for 100% natural gas firing. The composition, heating value and
operating conditions of natural gas supplied are provided in Table 2.6.3.

2.6.10 Chemicals, Catalyst and Packing Requirements
Chemicals, catalyst and packing requirements are shown on a unit basis in

the Catalyst and Chemical Summary. Unless otherwise noted on the
summary, the following basis has been used for initial charge
requirements:
Chemicals - Initial amount required to fill volumes, plus a minimum

surplus equivalent to a one month inventory based on
consumption.
Catalyst - Initial amount required to fill volumes, plus a surplus

equivalent to 10% of total catalyst charge (to account for possible
startup/loading damage).
Random Packing - Initial amount required to fill volumes, plus a surplus

equivalent to 10% of the initial requirements (to account for
possible shipment/loading damage).
Structured Packing - Initial amount required to fill volumes, plus a

surplus equivalent to 10% of the initial requirements (to account
for possible shipment/loading damage).
Inert Fills - Initial amount required to fill volumes, plus a surplus

equivalent to 10% of the initial requirements (to account for
possible shipment/loading damage).
