SECTION B – TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
FEATURES OF WATER TREATMENT PACKAGES
Operation and Equipment Description of Typical Water Treatment Packages
DM water treatment packages
3.2.1 Design Feed Characteristics

a. For flow rate, design pressure, design temperature, operating pressure and operating
temperature, refer to project specific DM water package data sheet.
b. For the composition and analysis of utility water arriving at DM water package battery limit,
refer to DM water package datasheet.
c. Supplier’s design to ensure the proposed resin is suitable for this service or a suitable method
of chlorine removal is installed upstream of the ion exchange beds. (e.g. filtration, chemical
injection).
Conductivity of the water shall be monitored. A sudden increase in conductivity will indicate that
the unit needs regenerating and the flow should be switched between trains. Typically the
exchange beds will require regeneration once every eight hours. The MBPs will typically require
regeneration once every seven (7) days. Package SUPPLIER to confirm regeneration period.
The regenerating steps shall be follows
• Backwash.
• Air hold-down (Cation exchanger units only)

• Regenerant introduction
• Displacement
• Rinse
Backwash - The function of the backwash phase shall remove any suspended matter
accumulated on the anion resin bed during the service cycle. Backwashing shall be accomplished
by reversing the flow through the unit. The backwash shall be performed using decationised water
from the cation exchanger vessels. The backwash water shall enter the bottom of the vessel and
leave through the top. This process also has the effect of expanding and regarding the resin bed.
The cation exchanger units shall be backwashed once every 15 regenerations, using
dematerialized water from the regeneration water pumps. SUPPLIER to advice backwashing
frequency.
Air Hold Down - Air hold down shall only be used in the cation exchanger in order to keep the
resin bed in place as it is contacted with a counter current flow of regenerant solution. The anion
exchanger shall be regenerated with flow in the normal direction and therefore air hold down is
not required.
3.2.2 Regenerant Introduction

When the ion exchange beds become exhausted, they shall be regenerated to restore them to
full operating capacity. The cation exchanger bed shall be restored with a solution of sulphuric
acid. The anion exchanger bed shall be restored with a solution of caustic.
The dilution rate shall be fully adjustable so that the acid or caustic is of the proper concentration
when it enters the exchanger vessel. Analysers shall measure the acid and caustic concentrations
to ensure correct dilution rates.
AGES-SP-05-011
Rev. No: 1
Page 17 of 66

The acid regenerant shall be injected in two separate steps in order to prevent calcium sulphate
precipitation. In the first step, acid concentration shall be controlled at 2%. This first injection
flushes out most of the calcium as a very dilute solution of calcium sulphate. The second step
follows with 4% acid that can be used without the risk of calcium sulphate precipitation.
Displacement - After the appropriate amount of regenerant has been introduced, the dilution
water flow shall be continued for that period of time necessary to displace the last portion of
regenerant completely from the exchanger vessel. Displacement allows for a uniform regenerant-
resin contact time. Following the displacement step, the cation exchanger vessel shall be refilled
with utility water prior to the rinse step.
Rinse - Following the displacement phase, the unit shall be rinsed to clear it of excess regenerant
and the salts formed during the regeneration process. The cation bed shall be ready to return to
service immediately after the rinse step. Before the anion vessel returns to service, the effluent
conductivity shall be checked to ensure that adequate rinsing has taken place.
3.2.3 Demineralizer Train

The Demineralized Water System shall be designed based on the process design basis furnished
to the SUPPLIER separately. SUPPLIER shall add to the net demand additional capacity for
demineralized water required during regeneration.
The Demineralized Water System shall be supplied complete with regeneration system and all
necessary interconnecting piping, valves, controls and instrumentation.
Each demineralizer train shall consist of one cation exchanger and one anion exchanger, followed
by a mixed bed polishing unit. A set of three cartridge filters shall be supplied upstream of the
demineralizer trains. Filter effluent shall be combined (common header) to be able to feed either
of the three demineralizer trains. Similarly, the two-bed (cation-anion) effluent to be combined to
be able to feed either of the three mixed bed polishers.
SUPPLIER design shall permit simultaneous operation of any two demineralizer trains each
operating at 50% of the plant design capacity. In addition the unit shall be capable to operate
between 20% and 100% of its design capacity.
Two bed ionization (cation exchange and anion exchange) followed by mixed-bed polisher is
used in case inlet water stream is raw water / sea water. Demineralizer package with 'mixed-bed
polisher only' may be acceptable if inlet water stream is desalinated water and if process
guarantee for outlet water quality is met with mixed bed polisher.
The cation and anion exchangers design shall be based on high efficiency packed bed concept.
SUPPLIER may propose alternate cost-effective schemes for COMPANY consideration.

Chemical Injection system Details

Details indicated under this section are not generally applicable for skid package supplier but for
overall system design. Necessary design features shall be identified and accordingly constructed.
Chemicals may be injected at various Oil and Gas production locations such as:
Into onshore/offshore piping,
Down hole into production tubing,
Into the kill wing of a wellhead,
Via an umbilical to a subsea wellhead or manifold,
Into an onshore/offshore vessel.
AGES-SP-05-011
Rev. No: 1
Page 44 of 66

If injection into a vessel is required, the requirements should be specified as part of the overall
vessel design. Down hole injection shall be accomplished by means of side-pockets in the
completion tubing, into which a mandrel for chemical dosing is placed.
The specification for subsea injection facilities at wellheads or manifolds is covered by the
wellhead or manifold specifications. Certain well head Suppliers offer proprietary fittings to enable
chemical injection into the wellhead.
If more than one chemical is to be injected at a single injection point, consideration shall be given
to chemical compatibility. Advice shall be sought from the COMPANY’s Production Chemistry
Group.
Each injection point shall be provided with a block valve, a non-return valve and a valved and
blanked connection for flushing services. Side pockets shall be specified during design of the
downhole well completion equipment. Mandrels inserted in the side pockets for chemical injection
shall be wire line-retrievable.
The injection branch, non-return valve and block valve shall meet the requirements of the injection
line pipe work and the main line into which the chemical is being injected.
Quills shall not be fitted to any line that requires pigging on a regular basis; hence, injection for
pipelines is often carried out in an upstream piping system.
Injection into a pipe shall be accomplished by means of injection quills located at the pipe centre-
line in a location of turbulent mixing, e.g., upstream of bends, valves or pumps, and generally as
far upstream as possible. The length of pipe over which full mixing is expected to occur depends
on the flow regime.
Injection quills and nozzles of proprietary design shall be as per Project specific P&ID and
specification, as applicable, to inject into both gas and liquid lines to ensure uniform dispersion.
The nozzle spray characteristics should be a 60° full cone pattern for gas line injection. An
injection quill does not require a nozzle when injecting into a liquid line. All quills shall be flanged
and screwed type designs are not acceptable.
Injection quills shall be retrievable without a full shutdown of the associated process. This can be
achieved by means of a high pressure access fittings plus the appropriate retrieval tool. The
design must also allow for retrieval by providing sufficient head height for operation of the retrieval
tool.
Care shall be taken when selecting quills; the design shall account for all flow conditions including
flow induced vibration. The injection quill Manufacturer shall specify the exact pressure differential
across the injection quill.
Chemical Selection, Duty and Properties

Chemical injection facilities shall be both accurate and flexible. SUPPLIER shall provide the
following features to ensure these qualities:
The pump sizing and storage volume shall be suitable for each chemical which shall be
identified during DEFINE phase of project. If the type of chemical is changed during
EXECUTE phase, same shall be approved by COMPANY.
The full range of possible operational conditions, and not just the maximum flowrates, shall
be considered and the equipment shall be designed accordingly.
The material(s) selection shall be compatible with all the chemical(s) indicated
The health, safety, and environmental properties of chemicals shall be considered to meet
all requirements for intrinsic safety in the design. This selection shall include minimizing fire
hazards, occupational hazards and hazards to the environment.
AGES-SP-05-011
Rev. No: 1
Page 45 of 66

Only chemicals for which there is a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) shall be used. New
chemicals shall only be used after testing, screening and approval by COMPANY. All proprietary
chemicals require COMPANY approval commercially available chemicals shall be used as first
preference. Minimum two equivalent suppliers and the trade names shall be included to avoid
procurement and logistics challenges in the design life.
System Arrangement (For Offshore Facilities)

At offshore facilities, package dimensions shall be optimized to achieve lowest possible weights
without compromising on operability and maintainability. “Subsea developments” normally use
the facilities of a nearby platform and so are supplied by pipeline (or umbilical) directly into the
well stream or process facility.
For Normally not Manned (NNM) facilities or platforms, the required tanks and pumps shall be
minimized as far as reasonably practicable. Thus for chemical injection on NNM facilities or
platforms, the use of pipelines (or umbilical) from manned installations should be considered.
Similarly, chemicals requiring dilution should be supplied to NNM facilities or platforms in diluted
form, with any required mixing preferably being done onshore to avoid additional field equipment.
Requirements Based on Environmental Conditions

In general, chemicals which crystallize or drop below their pour point in their undiluted state at
the specified minimum ambient temperature should be avoided, because they are usually
transportation methods employed.
If any chemicals become non-pump-able or ineffective (either due to falling below their pour point
or crystallization point) at the specified minimum ambient temperature, the tank shall be lagged
and either heat-traced or fitted with an immersion heater, and the pipe work and instrumentation
shall be electrically traced and insulated.
Injection Monitoring
A chemical injection system shall be closely monitored to ensure the effectiveness of the
treatment and allow optimization of injection rates. If harmful effects can be of a fast and
irreversible nature, monitoring shall be online and automatic. Dosing of chemicals shall be
automated based on specific analysis downstream of package.
If effects take place over the longer term or are reversible, monitoring shall be by routine sampling
or by inspection.

TYPICAL CHEMICAL INJECTION SERVICES

The following list is intended purely as a guide to the types of major injection services. The COMPANY
shall be consulted for specialist advice on chemical selection, usage and dose rate.
System Chemical Purpose
A. Oil Process Demulsifier Breaks down oil emulsions to aid oil/water separation.
Reverse emulsion Will coalesce oil droplets in produced water systems.
breaker/ de-oiler
Anti-foam Prevents or minimises build-up of foam in
production/test separators (prevents possible carry-
over, improves separation efficiency).
Pour point depressant Reduces crude pour point to improve/maintain crude
fluid characteristics.
Wax formation inhibitor Modifies wax crystal structure and minimises wax
build-up in oil systems.
Anti-scale To prevent scale build-up in oil lines/equipment.
Corrosion inhibitor To prevent/minimise corrosion in oil systems.
H2S scavenger To reduce H2S content.
Asphalting dispersant To treat/prevent asphaltenes
Drag Reducer To reduce flowing back pressure
Hydrate formation Inhibits formation of hydrates.
inhibitor
B. Gas Process Hydrate formation Inhibits formation of hydrates.
inhibitor
Glycol Eliminates potential of hydrates.
Corrosion inhibitor To prevent/minimise corrosion in gas and oil system.
Biocide To prevent algae / bacteria growth
C. Water Anti-foam To prevent foaming in deaerator (thereby maintaining
Process efficient operation).
Oxygen scavenger To reduce oxygen content of water to be injected to
near zero.
Filter aid To assist in final filtration of water prior to injection.
(e.g. ferric chloride)
Biocide To complete biological treatment of water prior to
injection.
Scale inhibitor To minimise formation of scale in reservoir.

Note:
Continuous injection of corrosion Inhibitor (dosing rate of 20 to 30 ppm and 50 ppm for 1-2 days for initial
phase) on flow line has been considered for the above application. In all other applications such as gas
producers, well pad configuration, downhole injection, multipoint injection, chemical injection for biocide,
oxygen scavenger, wax inhibitor, demulsifier, scale Inhibitor, water treatment, etc., shall be reviewed
specifically to each application.
