Ammonia refilling procedure

*Before starting the job of the ammonia filling should decrease the level of 118E005 to 30%.
*Hoses should be tested for ammonia P&T.
*High /low ammonia leakage should be covered with risk assessment.

A. Remove insulation boxes on drains valve 2, 4.

B. Connect nitrogen hose at valve 4 and keep it closed.
C. Connect hose for depressurization at valve 2 to the drain of depressurization line of
118P002 to 365D002 to flare.
D. Connect Ammonia truck hose at flange 6.
E. Open nitrogen hose at valve 4 to pressurize the connection, watch closely the pressure
gauge connected between valve 4&4A and soap test is made for all flanges to assure
tightness, once the test is O.K insure closing the nitrogen valve 4A then start to depressurize
to flare through valve 2 then close it tightly.
F. Open valve 5 slightly to pressurize with ammonia.
G. Open valve 3 gradually until fully open.
H. Open valve 1 slightly to control ammonia vapor flow to 118E005, with close observation for
opening of PV118121 will increase, TT118126, TT119098, PV119181A,PV119001; increasing
opening of valve 1 according to pressure difference between truck and the system with
time.
I. Valve 5 to be controlled in opening according to filling rate and pressure difference between
truck and the system and truck vaporizer efficiency.

After completion of ammonia refilling:

 A. Gradually close valve 5 till fully close.
B. Gradually close valve 1 till fully close.
C. Gradually open to flare via valve 2 till fully to depressurize (note check valve will
close when delta P across it achieved).
D. Open nitrogen hose at valve 4A to pressurize connection with nitrogen and close
valve 2 respectively to make piston purge for the connection.
E. Repeat previous step until we assure there is no remaining ammonia vapor in the
connection by closing all related valves then watch the pressure at the PI to insure
there is no valves leaking and if take the right action.
F. Finally close valve 3 then we can use fabricated spool for flushing connection with
water by dismantling nitrogen hose at valve 4A and connect spool then filling
connection with water then drain to sewer system.
G. Repeat flushing with water till release any residual ammonia smell.
H. Dismantle truck hose at flange 6 and install blind.
I. Dismantle hoses at valve 2, 4 and reinstall insulation boxes.
