1. INTRODUCTION

The Basic Engineering Design Guide is intended to provide Consortium with the technical information required to complete the “El Proyecto de Expansión Refinería El Palito (RELP)” Engineering Design Specifications, on a once-through basis, with minimum revisions and time delay. Consortium and PDVSA agreed to use FWI standards to prepare the Job Specification and Standard for the RELP expansion project. PDVSA and Consortium also agreed that Job Spec and Standards should be customized in order to comply with the Venezuelan law and regulations. During review of the job Specification and Standard for the RELP Expansion Project, if it is needed to add some PDVSA criteria as specific refinery requirements for obtaining a better design, the Consortium is willing to integrate these comments if after a discussion between PDVSA and Consortium is considered that the comments are not in contradiction with FWI standards. For the above mentioned reasons, PDVSA BEDG handed over to Consortium during the 1st Task Force Meeting held in Milan in December 2007 have been revised incorporating the design criteria agreed with PDVSA during the Engineering KOM, deleting the sections not related to the Process Design Basic and FEED phase (e.g. reference to Licensor documentation) and modifying the sections in contrast with FWI standards that shall be considered as a binding document for the development of the Project. The design consideration reported in this document shall be then read as supplementary information not included in the Job Specification/Standards issued for the RELP Project.

2. GENERAL PROJECT SCOPE

The project “Proyecto de Expansión Refinería El Palito (RELP)” is intended to adapt El Palito Refinery to new environmental regulations and for processing new heavy crude blend, by means of revamping existing units and installing new process plants associated with auxiliary units, utilities and offsites facilities.

2.1. MAIN PROCESS UNITS SCOPE El Palito Refinery Expansion Project is based on the installation and revamp of the following main process units:

• New Atmospheric and Vacuum Distillation Units:

The modification in the current Refinery’s crude blend feedstock density due to the change in its composition through adding more heavy/extra heavy crudes requires a new grass roots atmospheric and vacuum distillation units. The final Blend (22 °API) is known as Leona Crude which is a mixture between Mesa 30 and Merey 16. The maximum overall atmospheric distillation capacity shall be 140 kBPD.

• Revamp of Existing Atmospheric and Vacuum Distillation Units: Considering that the feedstock to RELP will be changed in a short time period, it is required to evaluate the feasibility to use the equipment in existing ADU/VDU to process 140 kBPD of a mixed crude of 28 oAPI case (blend of 4 crudes namely Zuata Sweet; Mesa 30; Merey 16 and Residual El Chaure)(Out of Consortium EPsCm Work Scope).

• Naphtha Complex:

Involves the installation of a new Naphtha Hydrotreating Unit to reduce the naphtha pool sulfur and nitrogen content from 50 wt ppm and 9 wt ppm to a maximum of 0.5 wt ppm for each, respectively. Also, a new Continuous Catalytic Reforming Unit to reformate the naphthas delivered by the hydrotreating unit, improving the RON number to 104.

• VGO Hydrotreating Unit:

The unit has been designed to process a blend of straight run VGO of 58000 BPSD (18.0 °API) from both New and Existing ADU/VDU with a sulfur content of 2.25 wt% and 2,634 wt ppm of nitrogen. It is expected a DVGO average production of 54,552(SOR)/50,976(EOR) BPSD of 24.68(SOR)/24.17(EOR) °API with a sulfur content of less than 200 wt ppm. The unit design per Licensor Basic Engineering Package suits to process a blend of cracked/straight run feedstock as original configuration.

• Diesel Hydrotreating Unit: This unit has been designed to process a blend of straight run gas oil of 45,000 BPSD (31.86 °API) from both New and Existing ADU/VDU with a sulfur content of 0.7676 wt% and a cetane index of 47.7 to produce an average of 46,512(SOR)/46,080(EOR) ULSD BPSD with a cetane number up to 51.0 and a sulfur content lower than 7.0 wt ppm. The unit design per Licensor Basic Engineering Package suits to process a blend of cracked/straight run feedstock as original configuration. Furthermore, to guarantee the proper functioning and reliability of these process units, El Palito Refinery Expansion Project RELP” includes the installation of new auxiliary units and utilities units, to supply the requirements of water, steam, air, nitrogen, gas and electricity under the conditions required. The utility units are out of Consortium EPsCm Work Scope. Finally new offsite facilities (flare system, intermediate storage tanks, fire protection unit, new dock, etc.) are provided, designed and constructed according to process, auxiliary and utilities plants requirements in order to guarantee a safety and environmental supported operation.

9. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

As a general rule, while defining the scenarios (different from the normal operating one) for the selection of the design conditions of equipment, no double occurrence shall be considered. As an example, during steam out operations, system blocking-in and steam network at the design conditions, considered at the same time, is not deemed a credible scenario.

9.1. DESIGN PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE 9.1.1. Design pressure for individual equipment items

Design pressure does not include the liquid static, as this will be added by the vessel design group based on the high level. Pressure drop across trays or vessel internals should be included if it is significant. Design pressure shall be selected among the below listed values, whichever is greater: • 51 psig (3.5 barg), same as minimum low pressure and acid flares design pressure. • Maximum flare back pressure if the vessel is directly connected to the high pressure flare

network • For maximum operating pressures less than 247 psig (17 barg), use the maximum operating

gage pressure + 25 psi (1.7 bar). • For maximum operating pressures between 247 psig (17 barg) and 1450 psig (100 barg),

use 110 per cent of the maximum operating gage pressure. • For maximum operating pressure between 1450 psig (100 barg) and above, use the

maximum operating pressure plus 145 psi (10bar). • Design pressure for atmospheric tanks and drums (normally vented to atmosphere) shall be

as per following.

Roof Type Design Pressure

Full Vacuum shall be specified for equipment in the following cases: • Equipment that normally operates under vacuum conditions. Full Vacuum shall be specified

at the design temperature of the equipment. • Equipment subject to start up, shutdown and/or regeneration evacuation. Full Vacuum shall

be specified at the corresponding evacuation phase temperature. • Equipment subject to steam out. Full Vacuum shall be specified at ambient temperature. • Equipment, which normally operates liquid full and that, can be blocked in and cooled down.

Full Vacuum shall be specified at the equipment normal operating temperature. • Equipment containing fluid having a vapour pressure lower than atmospheric pressure at

ambient temperature. Full Vacuum shall be specified at ambient temperature. • Fractionators and associated equipment that can undergo a vacuum through the loss of heat

input. The temperature at which this full vacuum occurs must also be specified. Equipment normally operated under vacuum or frequently exposed to start-up or shut down evacuation shall be designed for full vacuum and for the highest pressure the equipment can experience in case of vacuum system failure.

9.1.2. Shell and tube heat exchangers ASME rules have to be followed for shell and tube heat exchangers where the design pressure of one side is considerably higher than the other one. According to these criteria the tube side design pressure cannot be under 10/13 of the shell side design pressure value. For high-pressure exchangers a maximum differential pressure of 725 psi should be considered. The updated API / ASME rule regarding the design pressure of low-pressure side compared to high-pressure side is now equal to the 10/13 rule as follows. When the design pressure of LP side is lower than 10/13 of the design pressure of HP side (according to code ASME Section VIII div. I) Or (10/12.5 per ASME Code Section VIII div. 2), the design pressure of LP side will be increased up to 10/13 of the design pressure of HP side (or 10/12.5) for the heat exchanger and the piping up to and including manual isolation valves on LP side, but not for the associated low pressure side piping system beyond the manual isolation valves. No specific safety device will be provided for tube rupture at FEED stage. However the low-pressure side piping is to be evaluated for overpressure by the detailed engineering contractor. The piping design pressure is to be up-rated if required or appropriate protection to be provided. Hydrostatic test pressure shall be as specified in ASME Code UG-99.

9.1.3. Design pressure for complete systems

When the same relief valve protects several equipment pieces, each one will be designed, at least, for the pressure imposed by the relief valve discharge conditions in case of emergency. For fractionating columns, the reference design pressure is taken at the column bottom. No isolation valves, or other devices that may restrict the flow, are allowed in between the protected equipment and the PSV location.

9.1.4. Fractionation tower and auxiliaries The design pressure of the overhead equipment shall be increased of the corresponding static head of the liquid column between the overhead accumulator and the overhead condenser, in order to account the case of condensation loss due to overhead system flooding. Example: Tower bottom design pressure: 250 psig x 1.1 = 275 psig Relief valve set pressure: 245 psig x 1.1 = 269.5 psig Reflux drum design pressure: 269.5 psig

9.1.5. Exchangers, vessels and other equipment on the pump discharge

Equipment, which could have to bear a pump shut-off pressure because a closing valve (either control valve or block valve) must be designed for the following pressure: Design pressure = Suction Vessel Design Pressure + liquid height at vessel HLL at pump suction + 120 per cent of pump differential pressure. In case of steam turbine drive equipment the shut off pressure should be calculated based on maximum continuous speed of steam turbine, which is 105% of pump rated speed corresponding to 132% of pump differential pressure. The same Design pressure of pump discharge line shall be applied to the suction line of the pump up to and including the manual isolation valves on suction line or the automatic block valve (where foreseen), in order to protect the suction line in case of wrong switch over operation

9.1.6. Process system similar to that of a reactor-recycle gas-loop In this case, the recommendations given in the API Standard 521, last edition, Annex "B" and API Standard 520, last edition, Annex "B", will be followed.

9.2. DESIGN TEMPERATURE Design temperature shall be selected among the below listed values, whichever is greater: • Maximum operating temperature plus 27 °F, with a minimum of 176 °F, in the absence of any

other specific criteria. • For feed/effluent exchangers of reaction sections, the maximum operating temperature plus

45 °F, to take into account the operating temperature profile modification at low capacity. • For reaction sections, the loss of feed and air cooling (i.e. power failure) shall be considered in

order to evaluate the temperature profile due to the generated heat wave. The resulting maximum operating temperatures shall be selected as design temperatures of the involved equipment, if higher than any other temperature calculated as per the above criteria.

• In case of coolant failure, the cooler upstream maximum operating temperature shall be considered as the downstream equipment design temperature.

• In case of local air-cooler failure, the maximum outlet temperature, considering the residual natural draft cooling capacity, shall be considered as the downstream equipment design temperature.

It shall be observed that whenever heat exchanger is provided with bypass line on its hot side for process/maintenance purposes the maximum inlet temperature shall be considered as the downstream equipment design temperature.

The Minimum Metal Design Temperature (MMDT) shall be selected among the below listed values, whichever is lower as per ASME Section VIII, Division 1: • Minimum ambient temperature. • For operating temperatures below 32 °F, minimum operating temperature minus 9 °F. • For equipment containing LPG, the minimum operating temperature considering the

equipment depressurisation down to atmospheric pressure.

9.3. EQUIPMENT STEAM PURGING For equipment subjected to steam out, the following sentence will be specified on the data sheet: “Subject to steam out conditions”. The normal operating pressure and temperature of the steam shall be indicated as additional design conditions for the equipment. Steam out of large equipment should be performed using MP steam unless the equipment design conditions are heavily affected. For low design pressure and temperature equipment, due to economical reasons, the use of LP steam is recommended. The choice between the two steam levels shall be based on economic considerations.

9.4. CYCLIC OPERATING CONDITIONS For equipment exposed to pressure and temperature swings, the magnitude and frequency of these swings will be given on the specification sheet.

9.5. EQUIPMENT FLUSHING OR WASHING In some process units, equipment may be subject to flushing or washing operations prior to shutdown or maintenance (i.e. Vacuum units flushing with gas oil of residue circuits). For equipment involved in these kinds of operations, the same design conditions of the flushing/washing network shall be applied as additional design conditions, unless the equipment design conditions are heavily affected. In case of flushing/washing operations having a big impact on the equipment design conditions, a properly sized PSV shall be installed to protect all the equipment involved in such operations. The selection between the above-described solutions shall be based on economic considerations

For tubular heat exchangers, CA defined for tubes and shell sides, is applied to pressure retaining elements. • Tubesheet is concerned by CA on each side. • Tubes are not concerned by specified CA, whichever the side. If equipment is cladded or

weld overlayed, only undiluted thickness of clad weldings or weld overlay shall be considered as corrosion allowance.

9.7.3. Internals

a. "NON REMOVABLE INTERNALS" means: welded internals to vessels (support rings, support lugs, etc.)

b. "REMOVABLE INTERNALS" means: non welded internals to vessels (fractionation trays, distributor trays, mixing trays, catalyst support trays, support beams, inlet diffusors, outlet collectors, Quench pipes, thermocouples supports, etc.)

• Removable parts of carbon steel and low-alloyed steels (up to 9% Cr) internals shall have a minimum CA of one half of total vessel shell CA on each side in contact with the operating fluid.

• Fixed internals carbon steel and low alloyed steel (up to 9% Cr) made shall have the full corrosion allowance on each face (in total 2 times the designed CA of shell).

• In general, no corrosion allowance will be given for removable internals made of stainless steel (13 % Cr and above) and also for those non-ferrous high alloyed made. However, a corrosion allowance shall be specified for some internals exposed to severe conditions such as non-removable internals of reactor, catalyst bed support beams of reactor. These internals shall therefore have the CA, based on the reactor design life specified in paragraph “Equipment Design Life”, on each exposed surface.

• Tubular Heat Exchanger non-removable internals are not concerned by CA, whichever the side.

• No corrosion is considered for internals made with V wire screen or wire mesh.

10.2. TRAYS AND PACKING 10.2.1. Selection of Tray or Packing

Valve trays shall be specified for fractionation services. Packing shall be used for specific services such as revamps of existing towers, new towers under 36 inches in diameter and internals modification with high economic incentives like vacuum towers. Even in this case, since towers diameter are determined by two factors, flooding limit and pressure drop, the diameter should be determined so that limits do not exceed for either two criteria and so using packing up to 36 inches diameter shall be asked for PDVSA approval. Whether packing for new towers larger than 36 inches can be applied in PDVSA clarification In case of selection of tray, Valve Trays will be normally specified. Trays will be numbered from bottom to top

10.2.2. Hydraulics a. Overdesign for Columns will correspond to 10 % of normal flow rates. b. Operating range for the trays will be at least 50 to 110 % of normal loads. c. Fractionator’s trays shall generally be designed for the same turndown as indicated for the

process units. However, in some services, the reflux rates and reboiler duties may not be turned down in proportion to the unit turndown when higher tray loadings are required to maintain desired efficiency.

d. Three pass trays shall not be specified e. Column diameters are estimated using calculation methods provided by the major packing

manufacturers. f. The following flooding limits for column sizing will be applied for all tray applications (valve, sieve

etc.): Jet Flooding Limit

・75% for high-pressure service (vapor density>2.5 lb/cf) and for column diameters under 36” ・80% for other applications.

10.2.3. Material a. 410 SS trays shall be specified except where corrosive conditions during normal operation

warrant the use of other alloy, unless material already specified by Licensors of relevant Units. b. 11-13 chromium alloy tray material is generally specified without corrosion allowance.

10.3. SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGERS 10.3.1. Heat Exchanger Type

Unless impractical, shell and tube type exchanger shall be specified. Double-pipe or multiple-tube type heat exchanger will be specified where appropriate. For shell and tube heat exchangers, space for maintenance of the tube bundles shall be provided

10.3.2. Process Specification a. No overdesign will be considered for the heat exchangers, except:

Overhead condensers Greater of either 110 % of the estimated operating duty or the duty, increase of the corresponding reboiler.

Effluent cooler (or feed preheater) 10 % of cooler duty (or preheater duty) or 5 % of feed/effluent exchange duty, whichever is greater.

Reboiler 5 % of feed/bottom exchange or 10 % of reboiler duty, whichever is greater.

Bottom cooler 10 % of cooler duty or 5 % of feed/bottom exchange duty, whichever is greater.

b. The recommended normal cold end temperature approach is 18°F minimum. For reboilers, a temperature difference of at least 25°F shall be used between condensing steam and the process fluid.

c. Fouling factors for utility services shall be specified as per BEDD

10.3.3. Reboiler a. Horizontal thermosiphon reboilers are preferred. Once-through vertical thermosiphon reboilers

will not be used if the vapor flow is greater than 30 weight percent. Horizontal thermosiphon reboilers can be designed for vapor flow as high as 50 weight percent. When once-through thermosiphon reboilers are specified a chimney tray for the collection and disengagement of vapor-liquid stream from the bottom tray must be specified before feeding the reboiler.

b. Reboiler hydraulics shall be based upon a liquid level of 1’-0” above the tower bottom tangent line and a Safety Factor of 1.2-1.3 should be used for exchanger friction and line losses.

Document No. EB020401-G00-FP14500P0001 Page 54 of 93

Beware of mean temperature difference suppression for pure fluids or low design MTD’s as a result of an increase in the boiling medium pressure (normal operating level in the column much higher than 1’-0”) and thus an increase in boiling temperature. The use of a flow restriction valve in the inlet of the reboiler is not allowed.

c. When steam is used as the heating medium, condensate control scheme shall be specified for low-pressure steam. For medium and high-pressure steam, condensate control scheme shall be considered as the preferred choice over steam flow control. For corrosive or fouling services, such as sour water stripper and amine regenerator reboilers, a steam desuperheater located downstream of the steam throttling valve (locate temperature sensing point 25 pipe diameters from injection point and control 20°F above saturation) and steam flow control with a condensate pot and associated condensate level control, shall be specified. When low pressure steam is used in a steam flow control scheme, the condensing pressure can fall to a level, which could compromise the ability for condensate removal. Therefore, care should be exercised in the condensate system hydraulic design. The difference in elevation from the reboiler condensate outlet flange to the condensate pot inlet shall be at least 2'-0" and the balance line shall be 1” in diameter.

10.4. AIR FIN COOLER 10.4.1. Process Specification

a. Dry bulb temperature to be used for air cooled exchanger sizing, is mentioned in document EB020401-G00-FP14400P0001 BEDD (Basic Engineering Design Data). Indicate the air design temperature.

b. Designer shall specify the process outlet temperature at a minimum of 27°F above the design dry bulb temperature. Indicate the preferred process outlet temperature if different.

c. An overdesign will be considered for the air coolers: Overhead air condensers

Greater of either 110 % of the estimated operating duty or the duty increase of the corresponding reboiler.

Reactor effluent air cooler 10 % of air cooler duty or 5 % of feed/effluent exchange duty, whichever is greater.

Bottom air cooler 10 % of air cooler duty or 5 % of feed/bottom exchange duty, whichever is greater.

10.4.2. Selection of Water Cooler or Air Cooler

a. Where process considerations allow, air cooled heat exchange is preferred over water-cooled heat exchange. If air cooling is preferred but process considerations require trim cooling, indicate the temperature breakpoint between air and water cooling.

b. Air cooling must be maximized, generally for cooling of the process fluids with temperature above 140oF. If further cooling is required, cooling water should be used and the temperature at the outlet of the air cooler can be reduced down to 130oF, according to designer judgment and practice.

c. Forced draft is preferred over induced draft fans

10.4.3. Miscellaneous a. In general, no temperature control device shall be installed on air coolers. When required to

help control the process fluid outlet temperature, the use of fan pitch shall be considered as the preferred temperature control device.

b. No winterizing is required.

c. Air-cooled heat exchangers handing a high pour point process fluid shall be equipped with heating coils under tube bundles

a. Heater efficiencies shall be based on an economic analysis. PDVSA resident engineer shall recommend waste heat recovery: Steam generation with as high as possible pressure level or Air preheat (in general, economics do not favour air preheat) If air preheats is selected, then recuperative (stationary) type air preheater shall be specified.

b. Oversizing will be considered as follows: To take into account the risk of undersizing of heat recovery systems (i.e. feed-effluent, feed-bottom), following oversizing is typically specified: Feed heater: 10 % of heater duty or 5 % of feed/effluent exchange duty, whichever is

greater. Reboiler: 5 % of feed/bottom exchange or 10 % of reboiler duty, whichever is greater.

c. For hydrocracking heaters a higher turndown could be considered based on Licensor recommendation.

d. For multipass heaters the following will be specified: Mixed phase: symmetrical arrangement of the passes and board temperature indicator on

each pass outlet. Liquid phase: flow control valve with a minimum flow stopper on each pass inlet and board

temperature indicator on each pass outlet. Vapour phase: symmetrical arrangement of the passes and board temperature indicator on

each pass outlet (except for box-type heaters: in this case see the manufacturer's recommendations).

e. Heater passes in services subject to coke formation (diesel and heavier products), shall have

automatic flow control with signal (and low flow alarm) to the control room. Pass control valves should have limit stops to maintain 25% of normal flow. Manifolds shall be sized so that the dynamic head in the manifold at the point of maximum velocity is not more than 5% of the individual pressure.
