constructed to provide maximum safety to operating and maintenance personnel.

2) Suppliers shall consider the safety related factors associated with the process, the equipment, the

operation and maintenance of the equipment, access to the equipment, associated equipment, offshore

conditions and possible operating errors to identify potential hazards. Appropriate equipment, design

and quality control shall be incorporated to eliminate or minimize such potential hazards. When

specified by EMEPMI, these procedures shall be documented and the report provided to EMEPMI.

3) Couplings between drivers and driven equipment should be guarded. Guards should also be placed

over open clutches, belts, shafts, fans, flywheels and other rotating equipment items.

4) Guards shall be removable. Belt guards shall be rain-proof and have hinged openings for belt

inspection. Guards shall comply with USA OSHA standards. Heavy machine guards should be fitted

with eyebolts or handles and should be installed near the center of gravity of the guard.

5) Safety at the supplier's facilities where work on equipment to be supplied to EMEPMI is conducted is

of prime importance. Suppliers and subvendors shall maintain an active safety program to protect

workers and outside inspectors/personnel during all phases of fabrication. Any safety incident or

accident occurring to supplier's or subvendor's personnel while working on EMEPMI equipment shall

be thoroughly investigated and reported to EMEPMI.

Where supplier's and subvendor's safety performance are found to be inadequate, they may be

disqualified from future work.

5. General Design Requirements

5.1. General

1) All equipment provided shall be of proven design. Prototypes, new designs or extensive

modifications to existing designs are not acceptable.

2) Equipment shall be capable of handling design conditions and all predictable occurrences resulting

from process upsets, environmental variations and operational malfunction of this or related

equipment and/or utilities.

3) Any equipment or material selection, design, fabrication or construction practice which is not

addressed by the Equipment Specification or related MPDS, shall be carried out using sound

engineering judgment and shall conform to applicable industry codes, standards, specifications, and

recommended practices. The selection of such industry codes, standards and recommended practices

shall require EMEPMI approval.

4) Machinery manufacturers shall have previously manufactured at least two of the units they propose to

supply, to the same basic design, at the proposed location of manufacture, and meeting the following

requirements of successful operation:




Page 10 of 30


a) Operating speeds, pressures, temperatures, fuel and process fluid characteristics similar to those

proposed;

b) Satisfactory continuous operation for one year (8000 hours) with only routine maintenance and

parts replacement; and

c) Any special requirements of the specific machinery specification.

Upon request from EMEPMI, the machinery manufacturer shall demonstrate the above experience

compliance by providing contact names and phone numbers of users of applicable machinery.

5) The following paragraphs do not apply to pipeline design because pipeline design terminology is

significantly different from that used for the design of other pressure containing equipment. Pipeline

requirements will be covered by an EMEPMI project specific specification.

5.2. Access, Maintenance and Operability

1) All equipment, auxiliaries, piping and instruments shall be laid out to provide safe and appropriate

access and clearance for operation and maintenance.

2) Equipment shall be designed for ease of maintenance, particularly regarding the replacement of

components and/or equipment. A minimum amount of dismantling should be required to perform

maintenance activities.

3) Major components shall be provided with shoulders or dowels to ensure accurate alignment.

4) The equipment supplier shall meet the noise limit requirements of MPDS 02-02-01 in order to protect

personnel and to promote communication, which is essential to the safe operation of equipment.

5.3. Design Pressures

1) The design pressure shall be the greater of 110% of the maximum operating pressure or 350 kPa

above the maximum operating pressure.

2) Equipment in vacuum service, or which may be subjected to vacuum during a normal transient

condition shall also have a minimum design pressure. Unless EMEPMI approves otherwise, the

minimum design pressure shall be full vacuum except for storage tanks.

3) The operation of equipment shall be reviewed for conditions which could cause the equipment to

experience a vacuum. Conditions to consider include, but are not limited to:

a) Liquid drawdown without vapor make-up;

b) Pump-out by positive displacement pumps;

c) The condensation of vapors which will condense at expected ambient temperature (steam,

refrigerants, etc.) and whose vapor pressure at that temperature is less than 0 kPag; and

d) Evacuating vessels or bottles between the suction shut down valve (SDV) and the suction of a

positive displacement compressor.




Page 11 of 30


5.4. Design Metal Temperatures

1) All pressure-containing equipment shall have both a maximum and a minimum design metal

temperature specified and catered for. The design temperatures shall be based on the following

requirements:

a) The maximum design metal temperature shall be at least 28°C higher than the maximum

operating temperature;

b) The maximum design metal temperature shall not be lower than 49°C;

c) For minimum operating temperatures below 15°C and equal to or greater than -46°C, the

minimum design metal temperature shall be at least 6°C lower than the minimum operating

temperature;

d) For minimum operating temperatures below -46°C, the minimum design metal temperature shall

be at least 11°C lower than the minimum operating temperature;

e) The minimum design metal temperature shall not be higher than -29°C;

f) When the minimum design metal temperature needs to be below -29°C but need not be below -

46°C, the minimum design metal temperature shall be -46°C;

g) The minimum design metal temperature shall be no higher than the lowest 1-day mean

temperature for the facility location. For Malaysia this shall be assumed to be 18°C; and

h) The minimum design metal temperature shall be lower than the temperature of the hydrotest

liquid by at least the margin required by IP18-10-1. For hydrotests carried out in Malaysia the

minimum temperature of the hydrotest liquid shall be assumed to be 18°C.

The above requirements may be relaxed when the cost savings are significant (e.g. a large thick wall

pressure vessel can be made of a material with reduced impact properties), the most severe

temperatures that will be encountered throughout the life of the equipment are accurately known, and

the written approval of EMEPMI is obtained through the Project Facilities Change Procedure.

2) Consideration shall be given to possible future process changes, increased production fluid

temperatures associated with greatly increased water cut, etc. when establishing the minimum and

maximum design metal temperatures.

3) Except when EMEPMI specifies or approves otherwise, the minimum design metal temperature for

piping shall be the "design minimum temperature" per Appendix A of ASME B31.3.

5.5. System Design Pressure and Design Metal Temperatures

1) In order to simplify the design process, and in particular the provision of pressure relief and isolation

requirements, equipment within the same system and requiring similar design pressures and

temperatures should be grouped together for the determination of common design conditions.

2) The design pressures of equipment within the same system should be increased so that they are all at

least equal to that of the equipment in the system which would otherwise have the highest design

pressure.

3) The maximum design metal temperatures of equipment within the same system should be increased

so that they are all at least equal to that of the equipment in the system which would otherwise have

the highest maximum design metal temperature.




Page 12 of 30


4) The minimum design metal temperatures of equipment within the same system should be decreased

so that they are all at least equal to that of the equipment in the system which would otherwise have

the lowest minimum design metal temperature.

5.6. Maximum Allowable Working Pressure

1) Every equipment item shall be rated for the highest maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP)

that its materials of construction and maximum and minimum design metal temperatures will allow

after deduction of the designated corrosion and erosion allowances.

2) The MAWP of equipment designed to ASME Section VIII shall only be limited by the lower of the

pressure ratings, at the maximum and minimum design metal temperatures, of:

a) The shell plate;

b) The head plate; or

c) The flanges.

The design of the nozzle reinforcement shall be such that it does not limit the MAWP.

3) Once the MAWP of equipment designed to ASME Section VIII has been determined, the maximum

design metal temperature shall be increased, and the minimum design metal temperature decreased, as

far as is allowed by the code, the MPDS and the manufacturer without:

a) Incurring reduced allowable stresses for the materials;

b) Having to perform different or additional manufacturing processes, heat treatment or impact

testing on the materials;

c) Having to move to a higher flange rating; or

d) Exceeding the maximum or minimum permissible operating temperatures of linings or non-

ferrous materials.

4) The resultant MAWP, and maximum and minimum design metal temperatures shall be shown on the

equipment nameplate.

5) Other equipment within the same system need not be uprated to match all other the equipment

MAWP and design metal temperatures.

6) The MAWP of a piping system shall be equal to the piping design pressure. Except when EMEPMI

specifies otherwise, the piping design pressure shall be limited only by the lower of the pressure

ratings, at the maximum and minimum design metal temperatures, of:

a) The flanges;

b) Any valve soft seat or seal material (see MPDS 03-12-09 for the minimum acceptable pressure-

temperature rating of soft seated valves, and the short duration use of soft seat and seal material

below their minimum temperature for continuous operation); and

c) Any valve with a pressure rating lower than the main piping flanges (see MPDS 03-12-09 for the

use of 316 monoflange gauge valves and 40 NS and below 316 gate, globe and check valves in

carbon steel, low temp carbon steel and 3½% nickel steel piping systems).

6. Design Details

1) Skid and equipment sizes shall be within shipping limitations. Road, railroad and waterway

restrictions, and maximum carrier capability shall be checked before the skid assembly is designed.

No equipment, piping or structural parts shall extend outside the major perimeter beams.

2) All auxiliary piping requiring external connection shall be terminated at the edge of skid.

3) Skids shall be designed to permit the complete package to be lifted by fork truck, crane or derrick

barge as applicable without flexing so as to cause damage or shifting of the machinery, piping,

wiring, instrument leads or skid itself.

4) Lifting eyes shall be placed and spreader bars provided so that attached lifting slings will not bear

against or damage the assembled components or connecting parts on skidded equipment. Spreader

bars shall be provided by the skid supplier if required for lifting the skid.

5) When EMEPMI provides structural drawing loading diagrams, skid size shall be sufficient to limit

operating platform deck loading to the limits shown on those diagrams unless EMEPMI specifies or

approves otherwise. When EMEPMI does not provide structural drawing loading diagrams, skid size

shall be sufficient to limit operating platform deck loading to 14.4 kPa (300 psf) unless EMEPMI

specifies or approves otherwise. It is normal for operating platform deck loadings in the range of 14.4

to 23.9 kPa (300 to 500 psf) to be acceptable to EMEPMI. Platform deck loadings may be increased

by 35 % above operating loadings to permit hydrotesting. Larger increases shall be approved by

EMEPMI. Platform loadings for unusually heavy equipment (e.g. production separators, diesel tanks)

shall be approved by EMEPMI.

6) Skid design shall comply with the AISC Manual of Steel Construction. If the skid is to be lifted onto

a module onshore, skid, lifting connections, and lifting accessories shall be designed for an impact

factor of 2.0 during lifting. If the skid is to be lifted separately offshore, the offshore lift requirements

shall be per those provided by EMEPMI.

7) All intersecting members shall be coped for full contact and components shall be continuously seal

welded to prevent crevice corrosion.

8) When two or more structural shapes are in such close proximity so as to prevent the proper cleaning

and/or application of protective coatings on all of their surfaces, then 6 mm thick plate shall be fitted

and welded between the structural shapes so as to completely seal off the inaccessible surfaces from

the outside atmosphere.

9) Skids shall be designed to be continuously welded or epoxy grouted to the platform deck, or as

required by the specific equipment specification. Anchor bolts are not required if the skid is to be

continuously welded, but jackscrews shall be provided for vertical adjustment of primary skidded

units exceeding 2,250 kg.

10) All mechanical equipment shall be mounted on skids of adequate size to accommodate driver, power

transmission and driven equipment. Skids shall be furnished by suppliers as indicated on driver or

driven equipment data sheets.

11) All mechanical equipment requiring alignment or periodic removal for maintenance or repair shall be

attached to skids by bolting. Bolt holes in structural members shall be drilled or punched. Burning of

the holes is not permitted.




Page 14 of 30


12) Mechanical equipment skid surfaces shall be machined to accept mating machined equipment feet.

Subject to EMEPMI's approval, small units may be exempted from base plate machining.

13) Mechanical components shall be elevated above the skid by a 15 mm minimum thickness of chocks

and shims to permit field alignment after the skid is secured to the platform.

14) Individual components exceeding 225 kilograms shall have jackscrews for vertical and horizontal (2-

plane) adjustment. Mounting feet shall be pilot drilled for use in final doweling.

15) Skids shall extend under all parts of drivers, driven equipment and auxiliary equipment which may

drip liquids. Fully plated skid floors and drain systems shall be provided to intercept and collect

leakage of process, lubricant, and motive fluids from all components. The floor plating may be below

the top of the skid structural members, and the skid structural members used as coaming. Plating shall

be appropriately sloped to the drainage collection points to minimize liquid accumulation within the

skid, i.e. there should be no horizontal channels at junctions between plates, and between plates and

coaming, which may hold liquids. Skids shall have a minimum of one 80 (NS) flanged drain

connection. Frequent continuous leakage, like that from the plunger packing on a reciprocating pump,

shall be collected and piped to a point immediately adjacent to a skid drain. Closed drains shall be

piped to the skid edge.

16) Bar grating shall be provided on the top of drip-pan type skids if the skid is large enough to require

walk-in work areas within the perimeter lip. Grating shall be fully trapped and held firmly by a frame

of structural angle without the use of bolting, clips or welding, and shall be made of a few simple

shapes which can be lifted out and replaced easily to permit cleaning of the drip pan. The individual

pieces of grating shall weigh no more than 25 kg.

17) Skids, including their underside, shall be fully painted per MPDS 29-02-02, MPDS 29-02-18 and

MPDS 29-02-19.

18) The foot of the supports of all horizontal vessels, and all vessels which would otherwise be mounted

through solid decking onto the structural beams below, shall be elevated approximately 50 mm above

the top of the structural beams by means of a carbon steel plate. The plate shall be 50 mm bigger on

all sides than the vessel support. The plate shall be continuously welded to the structural beam or

deck plate on which it is mounted. At floating end supports, there shall be an additional continuously

welded 3mm stainless steel plate on top of the carbon steel plate. The plates for floating ends should

be drilled and tapped 1" - 8UNC to take the vessel hold-down bolts.

19) Vessel supports which do not need to be floating shall be continuously welded to the plate or deck

plate on which they are mounted.

20) Nozzles on equipment shall be flanged if:

a) 25 (NS) and larger in hydrocarbon service;

b) 25 (NS) and larger with operating temperatures in excess of 117°C;

c) 40 (NS) and larger if class 600 or above; and

d) 50 (NS) and larger.

21) The use of screwed nozzles on equipment requires EMEPMI permission. Where permissible, they

shall be 6000# minimum forged fittings.

22) Nozzles may be machined forgings. Nozzles made from machined forgings shall have suitable gasket

sealing face dimensions for the gaskets which are to be used with the attached piping system. Nozzles

may be of built-up construction with nozzle necks of pipe and forged steel weld neck flanges. Pad




Page 15 of 30

specific equipment GS, or approved by EMEPMI.

23) Flanges up to and including 600 (NS) shall be per ANSI B16.5, and per ASME B16.47 Series A for

650 (NS) and above. 650 (NS) and above flanges outside the pressure range of ASME B16.47 shall

comply with ASME Section VIII and shall be approved by EMEPMI.

24) Flanges with operating temperatures in excess of 177°C shall be Class 300 or higher.

25) Class 600 and lower flanges should be raised face. Class 900 and above flanges shall be ring joint

type, unless EMEPMI approves otherwise.

26) Unless approved otherwise by EMEPMI, the surface finish of raised face flanges shall be 3.2 to 6.5

micron Ra (125 to 250 micro inches Ra); 4.5 micron Ra (175 micro inches) is preferred.

27) Slip-on flanges shall not be used unless specified or approved by EMEPMI.

28) All fabricated equipment shall have a stamped or engraved nameplate. Unless EMEPMI specifies

otherwise, nameplates shall be 316 stainless steel. Unless EMEPMI specifies or approves otherwise,

nameplates shall not be attached directly to the pressure containing shell; they shall be securely

attached to a channel bracket which is continuously seal welded to the equipment. Data included on

the nameplate shall be that required by the appropriate code, and, as a minimum, the supplier's name,

serial number, date of manufacture, design pressure, minimum and maximum design metal

temperatures, corrosion allowance, EMEPMI tag number and equipment name, and design code and

code stamp if applicable.

29) Rotational direction arrows shall be cast-in or attached to each major item of rotating equipment.

Attached rotational direction arrows shall be made of the same materials and fixed in the same way as

nameplates. When installed on insulated surfaces, nameplates and rotational direction arrows shall be

visible when the insulation is in place.

7. Materials

1) Unless EMEPMI approves otherwise, pressure vessels, heat exchangers and tanks for use in non-

corrosive service shall be made from the materials listed in Table 1.

2) Pressure-containing parts made of ferrous materials shall comply with ASTM specifications, except

that alternative materials may be used if approved by EMEPMI.

3) If a proposed material is not listed in ASME Section VIII or ASME B31.3, or other equivalent code,

the supplier shall obtain the necessary information from the material manufacturer to establish, as

applicable, the material's maximum allowable stress at the proposed maximum design metal

temperature, minimum design metal temperature without impact testing, suitable impact test

requirements, material group P number, and ASME B16.5 flange material class.

4) Cast iron shall not be used except with EMEPMI approval. The only exception is that cast iron may

be used for centrifugal pump casings in water service at 1700 kPag design pressure or less, in water

jacketed compressor cylinders in hydrocarbon service at 7000 kPag design pressure or less and for

industrial/non-process applications (e.g. diesel engine water jacket or block).

5) Castings shall be sound and free of shrink holes, blow holes, cracks, scale, blisters or other similar

injurious defects to the satisfaction of EMEPMI. Surfaces of castings shall be cleaned by blasting,
