1.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to ensure safety of personal / equipment while making
temporary pipe / hose connection in a Refinery. This procedure is mandatory to:

a. Establish the necessary requirements to ensure that the connection can be made safely.
b. Ensure that the connection will not violate any of the Refinery safety and environmental
parameter limits.
c. Provide a record and control of such connections.

2.0 CUSTODIAN

The custodian of this procedure shall be Team Leader Mechanical Maintenance

Al-Zour Refinery and shall be responsible for any future updating of the procedure.

3.0 REVISION

This procedure is to be revised every 5 years , unless situation demands early

rev1s10n.

4.0 DEFINITIONS

piping / equipment temporarily for a maximum of 30 Calendar Days, which may be extended
by another 15 days on request from Section Head, Operations with due risk assessment.

Temporary Piping:

Metallic piping / tubing / hoses & rubber hoses / prefabricated pipe assemblies including their
combinations that are generally used in the Refinery.

Prefabricated piping assemblies:

Manifolds, piping assemblies which have been fabricated according to the standard engineering
practice and have Standard I&C valid acceptance for use.

5.0 REFERENCE
The following procedures should be referred to in conjunctions with this procedure:

• Procedure for Utility Station Hoses Care & Maintenance Document

NumberKIPIC / MAINT / MM / l 8/ P008.
• Procedure followed in a Refinery for "Plant Modification works".

6.0 SCOPE

The procedure is applicable to all such temporary connections where operating pressure is
not more than 150 psig (10.54 Kgs/Cm2) and temperature not more than 375°F (190 °C).

In general, the temporary connection shall be provided for a maximum of 30 calendar days.
This time limit shall be waived on a request from Section Head Operations, and with due
risk assessment carried out (If required). The temporary connection may be retained for a
maximum of another 15 days. Beyond this time period, the existing Plant modification
procedure shall be applicable.
The scope of temporary connection shall be divided in to the two following categories

a. Temporary pipe / hose connection for handling utilities.

b. Temporary pipe / hose connection for handling process items.
The temporary connections for utilities shall be limited to a maximum size of 4" pipes / hoses.
In case of process connection, the size shall be clearly defined in the risk assessment.

6.1 TEMPORARY PIPE / HOSES CONNECTIONS FOR HANDLING UTILITIES:

a . Utility stations to Process equipment
b. Process equipment to drains for draining / Venting of utilities.
The utilities that are covered under this category are-

• Low pressure steam - maximum header pressure of 60 psig (4.21 kgs/Cm2)

• Medium pressure steam-maximum header pressure of 150 psig (i.e. 10.54 kgs /Cm2).

• Plant air - maximum header pressure of 110 psig (7. 73 Kgs/Cm2}

• Utility water-maximum header pressure of 110 psig (7.73 Kgs/Cm2)

• Cooling water - maximum header pressure of 110 psig (7,73 Kgs/Cm2

10.0 GUIDELINES FOR TEMPORARY CONNECTIONS:

Plant and Personnel safety are of utmost importance while carrying out any temporary
connection in the Refinery. Some of the precautions and guidelines to be taken while executing
the temporary connections are listed below: -

• All temporary connection shall be provided only for a maximum of 30 calendar days.
Any Extension beyond the 30 days must be requested by the Section Head, with due
risk Assessment exercise (If Required). The extension can be provided for a maximum of
15 days Any extension beyond this shall be subject to Plant Modification Procedure

• No temporary connection shall be provided from Process equipment under

operation (i.e._ running equipment].

• Temporary connection shall be provided only where operating pressure is up to 150

psig (10.54 Kgs/Cm2) and temperature is up to 375° F. (190.5' C)

• Flexible hoses used for temporary pipe connection should comply with the "Procedure
for Utility stations and hoses care and maintenaoce".

• It should be ensured that valve on either side (Process and utility side) are closed prior to
making the temporary connections.

• All flanged connections to be completely bolted and tightened even though the connection is
temporary.

• All temporary connection should be properly supported adequately enough to prevent

accidental movement or vibrations due to hammering_ The adequacy of the supports
shall be confinned by the Maintenance Engineer.
• The temporary connection should be properly inspected by the Maintenance Supervisor
I Engineer prior to its first use and should be periodically inspected (visual) once in a week,
to confirm its healthy condition when the connection is to be in use for long periods up
to 30 days. A check list is provided for guidance on the back of the temporary
connection request.

• Operations and Maintenance personnel shall follow all the safety precautions required,
depending upon the purpose for which the temporary connection is made. i.e. by not
over-pressurizing the line /not over-heating the line / avoiding hammering on steam service /
avoiding corrosiveness of material etc.

• Flexible hose is vulnerable for failure at road crossing and inside battery limit due to vehicle
movement. Therefore, the hoses must be property protected at these locations.

• All temporary utility connections to other systems must be equipped with positive isolation
devices and a check valve with bleeders between block valves & check valve (Positive
isolation devices arrangement can be done as per job requirement)

• For Nitrogen services the upstream block valve should be globe valve.

• Prefabricated connection manifolds as above should be kept in all process units and offsite
facilities. The service test has to be done for the prefabricated manifolds to ensure that
there is no passing.

• Electrical Safety aspects (bonding or earthing) to be taken care during risk assessment

• The simplified sketch below shows the minimum requirements for a temporary connection
