Indicative layout was not feasible and the
total length of Pipe rack increased up to

rack had to be drastically changed. This
design change called for preparation of

Projects Samir Vohra 17-03-2010 Pre- HGU 1.Start Up Blower Pending No

Commissionin Approval
g/ HTAS datasheet wrote Centrifugal
Commissionin compressor. JE process data sheet also
g issued as Start up compressor
mentioning Centrifugal compressor.
.MEG issued an inquiry with all
standard attachments for a centrifugal
compressor. Procurement proposed
and IOCL approved vendor list for
Centrifugal compressors globally. With
in a month regret letters were
received.. Process/MEG should have
realized that the delta P required is too
small for a centrifugal compressor. Also
in earlier Mathura job we had used a
Roots blower. Then some
correspondence between PMC and
Licensor was discovered where HTAS
had clarified that a Twin lobe blower
can be used. After losing 4 months we
floated the inquiry for the blower.
During technical quote review the
pioneer designer of this blower,
Dressor Roots, was rejected since they
do not offer as per API and this is their
own design.. Later IOCL material made
an “ error “ in making FOA and almost
for six months Vendor did not accept
the FOA. Finally these were the last
equipment to be delivered and even
now ( Feb 23 ,2010 ) one Motor and
LCP are not delivered.
2.Reformer Inquiry/ poor B/L

definition
This job was awarded in a hurry to JE

when IOCL had prepared the MR for
reformer package .JE was to review
and issue with in two weeks. So the
scope of work and B/L were defined by
IOCL..E&I was not part of vendor’s
scope and Piping B/L was defined as
per P&I and not as per geographical
b/l. This created coordination issues for
engineering as well as construction. JE
had to buy Instruments to be mounted
on equipment supplied by Heurty. JE
had to bring a lot of lines within
Reformer area where the space
management/ lay put was Heurty’s.
Lesson relearned : All such packages

should have a b/l on the layout as well
as P&I.
3.Kick-oﬀ meeJng/InteracJon with

IOCL, Baroda
There was small kick-off meeting

involving only Process and planning
engineers. It was stated that for all
other disciplines KOM of DHDT to be
followed,Detailed interaction with
ultimate users happened on ly after
almost 30% engineering was over. This
was a deliberate move by IOCL, HQ to
push the schedule and monitor the

WI
cost.Hence IOCL detailed technical

requirements were known at late stage
which led to rework and delays.. The
handing over of KOM points from
DHDT team depended on
Communication between leads which
was effective fo4r all disciplines except
Instrumentation.
4.Process Documents
Issue of updated process documents

was not as per schedule needs.. To
meet client’s expectations many
detailed engineering activities were
started based on Licensor’s documents
like MR for equipment and
Instruments. When JE process issued
updated documents for design many
inquiries were floated. In some cases
the revised documents called for
changes and led to amendments to
inquiries delaying the procurement
process. Glaring example is Globe
Control valves. In same cases some
valves were ordered in Mar 2009
where the first inquiry was floated in
Dec ,2007.( This case is treated
separately in this document ).The
sizing of safety valve discharge lines
was done after the lines were offered
for 30% model review and bulk MTO
was ordered
First point is that enough resources

should be deployed by Process after
the kick off meeting and issue all
process documents quickly before
Detailed engineering documents are
issued for next step i.e. procurement.
Secondly why licensor’s documents
need so many revisions ? Licensor who
is giving guerentee to the client issues
a package which needs so many
changes ? An assesment is required
about the extent of review and
updation of Licensor’s documents is
done by JE Process.
After Piping issues all the isometrics

substantial changes happen on the Line
list and P&Is for utility distribution
lines. Those should appear in Final
issue of P&I.
5.Mismatch of pressures between

PSA unit and Reformer.
PSA unit is free issue to JE. Off gases

from PSA tail gas drum flow to burner
of Reformer. Reformer burner vendor (
John Zink ) needs some min pressure.
Max pressure guaranteed by UOP
leaves very little delta P for piping in
between which has control valves. JE
has increased the line size from 30” to
34”.This has been recorded with IOCL
since early 2008 with agreement that
there is no other solution.

WI
6.Mandatory spares for Instruments
It took a along time to understand

manadatory spares requirements
defined in TOYO’s design basis. Since
the requirement was not clear vendors
did not quoted properly and price
implications had to be invited.This
activity led to delays and finalizing the
order.In many cases ordering of main
instruments was delayed due
mandatory spares..
7.PSU procurement procedures/Lack

of IOCL resources
We took long time in understanding

the intricacies of PSU procedures. Due
to lack of resources in IOCL materials
recommendation files were piling up
and due to some minor detail missing
files were returned to us. Many orders
were delayed due to IOCL particularly
in later stages.
