1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. PURPOSE

The purpose of Sour Water Stripper Unit 109 is to remove sour components from the
sour water effluents of all units, in order to cope with the plant liquid effluent
specifications.

1.2. OVERVIEW

The main continuous source of sour water to this unit is from Unit 102, MEG
Regeneration and Injection. Apart from this continuous feed, the unit is also designed
to handle the following effluents:
 Sour water from unit 103 (Stabilizer Reflux Drum 103-D-107, Stabilizer Side Pot
and 1st Stage Discharge Drum 103-D-110).
 Sour water from 104-D-101, Dryers Inlet Separator.
 Sour water from 104-D-102, Regeneration Gas Separator
 Acid water from 116-D-101, Ethane Dryer Inlet Separator.
 the off spec chamber of the 129-X-101, Storm Basin (on a non-permanent basis).
 Sour water from 142-D-101, HC Liquid Burner Feed Drum.

The sour off gas produced is dispose of in the low pressure flare system and the
treated water is sent to Unit 129, Waste Effluent Disposal.

Unit 109 also has oil separation facilities for the incoming feed streams. The
separated oil is transferred to the Off Spec Condensate Tank in Unit 143 or to the
Burn Pit Unit 142.

One Sour Water Stripper Unit is provided for the whole complex.

However, each main functional step of the unit is currently complemented using 2
identical and parallel 50% duplicated items.

2. BASIS OF DESIGN

2.1. PLANT CAPACITY

The maximum flowrate of sour water produced in the MEG regeneration unit is 34 t/h
(To be confirmed by MEG Regeneration Package Supplier).

From other units, a flowrate of 4.0 t/h has been estimated.

The design capacity of the sour water stripper unit has been set at 40.0 t/h. This
flowrate is the one considered in the material balances.

engineering phase.

2.4. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

The H2S content in the stripped water shall be lower than 5 ppm weight, according to
the “Environmental procedures and guidelines” of the Export Import Bank.

This issue has to be confirmed during the detailed engineering phase of the Project.

2.5. TURNDOWN RATIOS

The unit 109 has been designed to process 100 % to 15 % of the design sour water
flowrate.

For all twin items of this unit, such a turndown requirement shall correspond to a
100% - 30% flexibility range.
3. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

3.1. NUMBER OF TRAINS

One Sour Water Stripper Unit is provided for the whole complex. However, each main
functional step of the unit is currently complemented using 2 identical and parallel
50% duplicated items.

3.2. EQUIPMENT DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

The sour water stripper unit has been designed for 100 % of the design flowrate.The
equipment oversizing factors are in accordance with the Process Sizing Criteria DB
2017 999 P312 205. However some overdesign has been applied to take into
account intermittent flows.

This concerns the equipment 109-D-101(102) (1st and 2nd Sour Water Stripper Feed
Drum): the water compartment is designed to allow an extra volume of 3.5 m 3 above
NLL in each drum.

3.3. SPARING PHILOSOPHY

All pumps used in continuous operation are provided with a spare. No spare is
provided for the pumps used in intermittent operation, namely:
 The slop oil pumps 109-P-102 A / B (one per train).
 The sour water sump pump 109-P-109.

3.4. EXCEPTIONAL OPERATIONS

Stripper misoperation or shutdown.

In this case, sour water is sent to the off-spec chamber of the storm basin 129-X-101.
When one of the two strippers is shut-down, the off-spec chamber can store sour
water during 24 hours at plant design capacity.

When stripper is put back in operation, the off-spec chamber is recycled back to the
sour water unit 109. It will be emptied in 6 days.

However, in case the stripper remain shutdown for too long, excess water will
overflow to the observation basin or will be diverted manually to the catch pit and
then to the storm basin.

Reboiler shutdown

In case of reboiler shutdown the stripper will be operated with live LP steam injection
in the bottom of the column.

Accidental pollution by hydrocarbons

In this case water will be sent to the storm basin of the water treatment unit for further
deoiling treatment in the API basin.

4. PROCESS FLOW DESCRIPTION

Refer to: Process Flow Diagram, 2017-109-0020-0001, included in Section 9.

4.1. GENERAL
Note: Where applicable, the following descriptions refer to one set of the duplicated
items of the unit. It is also valid for the other twin set.

The sour water streams from all units are routed to the sour water feed drums 109-D-
101 (102) operating at the low pressure flare back pressure. These drums are three
phases separators designed to remove oil from the inlet water streams. The vapour
phase is vented from the feed drums to the low pressure flare.

The oil flows over an internal weir and is collected at one end of the drums. The
collected slop oil is pumped intermittently by means 109-P-102 A/B under level
control and routed to the off spec tank 143-T-102 or to the burn pit 142-D-101.

The water collected at the other end of the feed drums is pumped under flow control,
which is reset by the water level in the drum and sent to the sour water stripper 109-
C-101 (102), via the sour water filters 109-F-101 (102) A/B.

The sour water stripper is equipped with internal random packing. In the stripping
section, H2S, CO2 and the light hydrocarbons contained in the sour water are stripped
by steam, generated in the reboiler 109-E-101 (102).

Caustic soda can be injected in the column if needed for the dissociation of
ammonium compounds.

The stripper overhead vapours are partially condensed in the air condenser 109-A-
102 (104) down to 95°C; the outlet temperature is controlled by bypassing part of the
overhead vapours. The acid gas is separated in the reflux drum 109-D-103 (104) and
sent to the low pressure flare under pressure control. If ever, oil of the liquid phase is
separated and collected in the oil compartment of the drum. It is sent to the sour
water sump drum 109-D-107 through a HV and further to the unit feed line by the
pump 109-P-109.

Condensed water, free of oil, is recycled to the top of the stripper column by the
pumps 109-P-104 (106) A/B under interface level control.

The stripper reboiler is kettle type, heated by LP saturated steam.

The stripper bottom water is pumped by 109-P-103 (105) A/B and cooled in the air
cooler 109-A-101 (103) down to 60°C, the outlet temperature being controlled by the
air cooler bypass. Then the stripped water is sent, under level control, to the
observation basin of the water treatment 129-X-102.

For start-up operations, the stripper bottom water may be recycled to the feed drums
109-D-101 (102). For minimum flow operations, part of the stripped water may be
recycled to the feed drums. LP steam condensate from the stripper reboiler 109-E-
101 (102) and the Sour Water Sump Drum 109-D-107 is collected in the steam
condensate surge drum 109-D-105 (106).

The steam produced by flash is condensed in the air condenser 109-A-105 (106) and
the condensate produced is returned to the drum. Steam condensate is routed to unit
121 under level control by means of pumps 109-P-107 (108) A/B.

4.2.2. SLOP OIL DISPOSAL CONTROL

P&ID Ref. No: 2017-109-0030-0102 and 0108


The disposal of slop oil from the slop oil compartment in the Sour Water Stripper
Feed Drums, 109-D-101 (102) is controlled by 1091-LI-0005 (0009). The Slop Oil
Pumps, 109-P-102 A/B are controlled with on / off action. Process interlocks are
provided for LI-0005 (0009), which will automatically reset any manual intervention by
the operator thus ensuring the pump always start on high level and stop on low level.

4.2.3. STEAM CONDENSATE MIN FLOW PROTECTION

P&ID Ref. No: 2017-109-0030-0107 and 0113, respectively First and Second Steam
Condensate System.

The Steam Condensate Pumps, 109-P-107 (108) A/B are protected against minimum
flow by the process interlock I 311 (I 322), FSLL will stop the running pump and start
automatically the spare pump. If after 10 seconds flowrate is still low, FSLL will trip
both pumps.

4.2.4. STRIPPER CONTROL

Refer to P&IDs included in Section 9.

The sour water flowing via SW Filters 109-F-101 (102) A/B to the Sour Water
Stripper, 109-C-101 (102), is controlled by flow controllers 1091-FIC-0002 (0003).
The corresponding sour water level controllers LIC-0002 (0006) reset these flow
controllers, respectively. The tower operating pressure is controlled by 1091-PIC-
0026 (0086), which vents the sour gas to the FB LP flare. Level in the bottoms of the
column is control by 1091-LIC-0016 (1076).

The LP steam to the reboiler 109-E-101 (102) is controlled by 1091-FIC-0016 ((0076)


which will allow flooding of the reboiler. Initially, when the surface area of the reboiler
is clean the condensate operating in the piping pot is high. As the surface area fouls ,
this level will gradually start to fall exposing greater surface area in the reboiler.
To avoid losing the level in the piping pot, controller 109-LIC-0018 (0078) will override
the steam flow controller thus ensuring a minimum level is maintained in the pot.

The reflux temperature is controlled with a bypass stream around the condenser. This
type of temperature control arrangement is also used for the stripper bottoms
rundown cooler.

7. START-UP

The start-up sequence described in this section is for a start-up after a maintenance
or operations shutdown. Initial start-up is outside the scope of this manual.

Refer to the Sour Water Stripper P&IDs listed in Section 9 of this manual.

7.1. PRE-START PROCEDURES AND CHECKS

Prior to start-up, ensure that:


 All instruments have been put in service
 Electric power is available
 Spectacle blinds are correctly installed as per spectacle blind check list.
 Important: Prior to commencing start-up, check that the Unit valves are in the
correct position, in accordance with the operations pre-start valve checklist.

7.2. START-UP AFTER MAJOR MAINTENANCE

This involves oxygen freeing the equipment, which is carried out by successive
pressurisations with nitrogen using a temporary line, followed by depressurisation by
venting, until the oxygen content is below 0.2% volume. When this is achieved, the
column is kept under a positive pressure of 0.5 barg with nitrogen. The auxiliaries
lines, in particular the flare line, are nitrogen flushed, and the nitrogen purge to the
steam condensate surge drum is put in commission. The feed drums 109-D-101/102
and the sump drum 109-D-104 are then left floating on the flare system.

7.2.1. FILLING THE WATER CIRCUIT


 Line up the sour water input from the battery limit valves to the Feed Drums 109-
D-101/102. If Unit 102 is in commission, slowly fill the Feed Drums until normal
liquid level (NLL) is reached. If Unit 102 is not yet in commission, fill the Feed
Drums with utility water using the utility connections on the vessels.
 Line up the SWS Feed Pumps 109-P-101 A (B) C (D). Start the pumps, and
introduce water into the SWS Column 109-C-101 /102). Maintain the level in the
Feed Drums by introducing more water as necessary.
 Line up the SWS Bottom Pump 109-P-103 (105) A(B) so that the water flows from
the Bottom Pump through the SWS Bottom Cooler 109-A-101 (103), and through
the recirculation line back to the Feed Drums.
 Stop the introduction of water when normal liquid levels are established in the
drums and column, with pumps operating at minimum flowrates (40%).
7.2.2. STARTING COLUMN OPERATION
 Line up steam to the SWS Reboiler 109-E-101 (102), and line up the condensate
flow to the Steam Condensate Surge Drum 109-D-105 (106), and start the Steam
Condensate Surge Drum Condenser 109-A-105 (106).
 Start the steam flow to the reboiler, and start the Sour Water Stripper Condenser
109-A-102 (104). Line up the Sour Water Stripper Reflux Pump 109-P-104(106)
A[B]. Open the bypass on the SWS Bottom Cooler 109-A-101 (103), so that the
column bottom liquid returns hot to the Feed Drums.
 Line up the Steam Condensate Pump 109-P-107 (108) A[B]. Monitor the level in
the Steam Condensate Surge Drum, and when it reaches its NLL, start the Steam
Condensate Pump.
 As the temperature in the column increases to its normal operating temperature
the level in the SWS Stripper Reflux Drum will increase. When it is at its NLL, start
the Reflux Pump.
 Put the controls on auto as each system reaches its normal operating point.

7.2.3. SOUR WATER INPUT


 Check with the operator on Unit 102 before startup of feed input. Start the Bottom
Cooler fans and slowly close the bypass on the Bottom Cooler.
 Slowly introduce feed from Unit 102, start the flow of Stripper Bottoms to Unit 129,
Waste Effluent Disposal and close the bypass line flow to the Feed Drums.
 The unit should then be operating with all drums and the column at NLL, and with
the unit controllers on auto.

7.2.4. FINAL OPERATION


 Begin sampling all streams for analytical control and adjust operating conditions as
necessary to maintain the product on specification.
 The unit is on stream, with all instrument loops in automatic.

7.3. DIFFERENT START-UP MODES OR CONDITIONS

7.3.1. START UP FOLLOWING SHORT-TERM SHUTDOWN


 When the unit is in a liquid full condition, the sequence of operations is the same,
except that the systems do not need to be purged with nitrogen, and the water
circuit does not need to be filled. The operations are therefore:
 Line up the SWS Feed Pumps 109-P-101A(B) and 109-P-101C(D).
 Start the pumps, and establish water flow to the SWS Column 109-C-101 (102).
The pumps should be operating at minimum flowrates.
 Line up steam to the SWS Reboiler 109-E-101 (102), and line up the condensate
flow to the Steam Condensate Surge Drum 109-D-105 (106), and start the Steam
Condensate Surge Drum Condenser 109-A-105 (106).
 Start the steam flow to the reboiler, and start the Sour Water Stripper Condenser
109-A-102 (104). Line up the Sour Water Stripper Reflux Pump 109-P-104 (106)
A(B). Open the bypass on the SWS Bottom Cooler 109-A-101 (103), so that the
column bottom liquid returns hot to the Feed Drums.
 Line up the Steam Condensate Pump 109-P-107 (108) A(B). Monitor the level in
the Steam Condensate Surge Drum, and when it reaches its NLL, start the Steam
Condensate Pump.
 Check the levels in the feed drums and column to make sure that they stay within
their operating ranges. If they move outside their ranges, it will be necessary to top
up the levels by slowly introducing feed from Unit 102.
 As the temperature in the column increases to its normal operating temperature,
the level in the SWS Stripper Reflux Drum will increase. When it is at its NLL, start
the Reflux Pump.
 Put the controls on auto as each system reaches its normal operating level.
 Check with the operator on Unit 102 before start-up of feed input. Start the Bottom
Cooler fans and slowly close the bypass on the Bottom Cooler.
 Slowly introduce feed from Unit 102, start the flow of Stripper Bottoms to Unit 129,
Waste Effluent Disposal, and close the bypass line to the Feed Drums.
 The unit should then be operating with all drums and the column at NLL, and with
the unit controllers on auto. Begin sampling all streams for analytical control and
adjust operating conditions as necessary to maintain the product on specification.

8.2. ITEMS FOR SPECIAL ATTENTION

8.2.1. CHEMICAL CONSUMPTIONS

Refer to DB 5561V 999 P312 204.

Caustic Soda to Stripper (Intermittent):

It is not possible to give a figure for this consumption since the requirement is
dependent on the level of impurities, which may vary considerably.

8.3. OPERATING MODES

The stripping column is designed to handle the sour water generated from processing
four gas trains. The normal operating procedure is to treat this amount of sour water
on a once through basis using vapours produced by the stripper reboiler as the
stripping medium. However, the unit has also been designed for the following
operating modes:

Reboiler Shutdown

The stripper tower has been designed to operate with direct steam injection below the
tight tray, in the event of a reboiler shutdown. The Sour Water Stripper Bottoms
Pump, 109-P-103 (105) A/B, and the Sour Water Stripper Bottoms Cooler, 109-A-101
(103), have been designed to cater for this additional steam condensate. The design
of the stripper overheads system is not affected by the operation.

Stripper Bypass

If problems occur with the Stripper Column, it is possible to bypass the column and
send the untreated sour water to the Storm Basin by opening the bypass line around
the column and bottom pumps. The untreated sour water can have its H 2S content
minimised by injecting live LP steam into the Feed Drums. This will raise the
temperature so that a small quantity of steam plus some H 2S goes into the flare
balance line. From the Feed Pumps, the untreated sour water is routed to the Bottom
Cooler in order to reduce the rundown temperature to the Storm Basin. This
minimises the risk of any H 2S emissions at the Storm Basin.

Reprocessing of Water from the Storm Basin

When the problem causing the Stripper bypass has been resolved, it is possible to
reprocess the water in the Storm Basin, because there is an overdesign margin in the
Stripper Column for this contingency. Water is transferred from the Storm Basin to
Unit 109 using the Recycle Pumps 129-P-101A(B). This goes to the SWS Feed
Drums, and from there the SWS Feed Pumps 109-P-101A,B,C & D are used to
transfer the water into the Stripper Column.

It may be necessary to operate all four pumps in parallel if there is a high feedrate
from other units, and it may also be necessary to use direct steam injection into the
Feed Drums in order to get a feed temperature to the column which is close to the
design value. Similarly, it may be necessary to use two Bottom Pumps in parallel in
order to get the required flowrate.
9. SHUTDOWN

9.1. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

Actions of different levels of emergency shutdown are reported in the Cause & Effect
Matrix DW-2017-109-1525-0001, and Shutdown Logic Diagram 2017-109-0020-1001
in section 9.2.

9.2. PROCESS SHUTDOWN

The following instrument tag numbers begin with the prefix 1091, unless otherwise
noted.

The following list does not include general defaults on supply of utilities such as
instrument air and electricity or ambient conditions.

9.3. NORMAL SHUTDOWN

If the Stripper is to be shutdown for a short period of time, it is possible to send the
sour water to the off-spec chamber of the storm basin of the water treatment facility
129-X-101.

Normal shutdown can be activated by the CCR remote normal stop in the control
room. A manual shutdown of Unit 109 will result in the following steps:

 Isolation of incoming feeds to unit

 Put the unit on recycle using the recirculation line

 Stop LP Steam to reboiler

 Depressurise Stripper by opening PSV bypass line and leave open to avoid
vacuum being sucked

 Stop overhead condenser

 Once recycle stream cooled down, stop bottoms air cooler

 Stop all pumps

 Isolate Unit.
