1.0 INTRODUCTION
This operating manual relates to the Unit 76 Propane/Butane Refrigeration facilities
indicated on Process Flow Diagram PR-76-PR32-001, PR-76-PR32-002, PR-76-
PR32-003, PR-76-PR32-004, PR-76-PR32-005 and P&ID’s PR-76-SYPI-
007/007A/007B and PR-76-SYPI-007C.
The Propane/Butane Refrigeration Package, 76-ML01, is to receive boil-off gas
(BOG) generated during ship loading of propane which mixes with BOG from the
New Propane Storage Tank, 76-MF01, in the BOG header. The BOG flows from the
header to the refrigeration package where it is compressed and condensed.
Additionally, warm propane product from RA1K Refinery is fed to the refrigeration
package to collect and condense flash vapor. The liquid propane is returned to the
Propane Storage Tank.
Boil off Gas (BOG) generated during ship loading of butane is returned from the jetty
to the BOG header where it mixes with BOG from the New Butane Storage Tank, 76-
MF02. The header gas flows to BOG handling and Refrigeration Package, 76-ML01
where it is condensed and discharged back to the Butane Storage Tank. The butane
BOG vapors are condensed using propane liquid refrigerant from the BOG
Compressors.

Another propane liquid flow is sent from the Propane Flash Tank, 76-ML01-MD05, through
the shell side of Butane Boil Off Condenser, 76-ML01-MC04, where it condenses Butane
BOG from Butane Storage Tank, 76-MF02, which flows through the tubes of 76-ML01-MC04
into Butane Receiver, 76-ML01-MD06. Butane Pumps, 76-ML01-MJ06-A/B, are used to
pump liquid butane from the Butane Receiver to Butane Storage Tank, 76-MF02. The flow
is controlled by the Butane Receiver level controller, 76-LIC-1366.
Propane vapors are pressure controlled by 76-PIC-5019 from the shell side of 76-ML01-
MC04 to the 1st Stage Propane Compressors, 76-ML01-MJ01-A/B, suction line. Propane
vapors also flow from the shell side of Propane Sub-Cooler to the same line going to the
compressors.
A Lubricant Recovery System is provided as part of the Propane/Butane Refrigeration
System. Lubricant and propane from the bottom of 76-ML01-MC02, 76-ML01-MC03, 76-
ML01-MC04 and 76-ML01-MD05 is periodically drained into the Lubricant Recovery Still, 76-
ML01-MD07, via pneumatically actuated feed valves.
A Lubricant Recovery Heater, 76-ML01-ML05, installed in the Recovery Still is used to
vaporize the refrigerant. An operator has to operate the Lubricant Transfer Pump, 76-ML01-
MJ05, to transfer lubricant from the recovery still to the 1st Stage Compressors, 76-ML01-
MJ01-A/B, suction.

OPERATING MANUAL VOLUME III, SECTION 2-4: REVISION 1
PROPANE/BUTANE REFRIGERATION 24 September 2013
3.0 OPERATIONS
3.1 Normal Running
This section provides a description of the operating parameters for the Propane/Butane
Refrigeration System. Refer to Section 3.2 for a list of typical operating variables for this
system.
3.1.1 First Stage Propane Compressors 76-ML01-MJ01-A / -B
The First Stage Propane Compressor receives propane boil off gas, BOG, from propane
storage tanks 76-MF01 and tanker loading vapor from the jetties through the BOG header.
The propane vapors enter the compressor suction. The suction pressure is monitored via
pressure transmitter, 76-PIT-5102 / 76-PIT-5004, located on the compressor suction line
downstream of suction throttle valve, 76-PV-5102/76-PV-5004. Pressure-indicating
controller, 76-PIC-5102/76-PIC-5004, controls the compressor suction pressure by
modulating the pressure control valve. The main purpose of this valve is to limit high suction
pressure at the compressor flange during startup. Therefore, the set point of this controller
is set slightly higher than the normal operating pressure to prevent modulation of the valve
during normal process swings.
The controller is modulated to control the valve downstream pressure to the desired set
point. 76-PIC-5102 or 76-PIC-5004 closes 76-PV-5102 or 76-PV-5004 when the pressure is
above the set point and opens the 76-PV-5102 or 76-PV-5004 when the pressure is below
the set point. During normal operation after initial pull down, it is expected that this valve will
be fully open and will not come in to operation in the absence of process upsets.
Hot Gas Bypass for 1st Stage Compressor
The suction pressure is also monitored via a pressure transmitter, 76-PIT-5001, located on
the compressor suction header. Pressure indicating controller, 76-PIC-5001-A, controls the
compressor suction pressure by regulating hot gas bypass valve, 76-PV-5001. The main
purpose of this valve is to limit low suction pressure at the compressor flange during no load
conditions. Therefore the set-point of this controller is set slightly lower than the normal
operating pressure to prevent modulation of the valve during normal process swings.
The 76-PV-5001 is throttled to control the valve downstream pressure to the desired set
point. The 76-PIC-5001-A closes the 76-PV-5001 when the pressure is above the set point
and 76-PIC-5001-A opens the 76-PV-5001 when the pressure is below the set point.
Compressor Capacity Control (Load / Unload), 1st Stage Compressor, 76-ML01-MJ01-A/B
Pressure indicating controller, 76-PIC-5001-B, senses suction pressure via a pressure
transmitter, 76-PIT-5001, located on the suction header. Based on the controller’s set point,
an output signal will be converted to digital pulses to open/close the load solenoid valve, 76-
ZY-5001-B/76-ZY-5005-B, or to open/close the unload solenoid, 76-ZY-5001-A/76-ZY-5005-
A. These solenoids control a 4-way hydraulic valve, 76-ZCV-5001/76-ZCV-5005, which will
force hydraulic oil to the compressor slide valve, which increases (loads) or decreases
(unloads) capacity as required. A potentiometer and corresponding position transmitter
monitors the position of the compressor slide valve.
This unit is provided with a means to manually load the compressor either locally, 76-HS-
5012/76-HS-5014, or remotely, 76-HS-5012-A/76-HS-5014-A, using human machine
interface (HMI). This can be done by pressing the manual capacity switch, 76-HS-5011/76-
HS-5013, in HMI. When in the manual mode, the compressor can be loaded by pressing the
manual load/unload switch. A local loading indicating display is also provided to monitor the
slide valve position.

glass indicators, 76-SG-5006 and 76-SG-5007, and a sight glass, 76-SG-5005, are provided
to monitor lubricant accumulation and lubricant drained from the separator to 76-ML01-
MD02.
3.1.12 Propane Refrigerant Condensers, 76-ML01-MC01
Propane vapor from 76-ML01-MD03 is cooled and condensed in the Propane Refrigerant
Condensers and the liquid propane refrigerant flows to Refrigerant Propane Receiver, 76-
ML01-MD04.
The Propane Refrigerant Condenser is furnished with four fans. The fan motor can be
started manually from local control panel located on 2nd Stage Compressor Skid or remotely
using HMI on Unit Control Panel (UCP) by selecting “Hand” mode. In “Hand” mode the
appropriate condenser fan will continue to run until the hand switch is placed in the auto
position or a fan shutdown condition occurs due to high vibration or stop switch is pressed.
The reset pushbutton must be activated to reset the alarm. Each condenser fan is provided
with a vibration switch. Those switches will shutdown that particular fan in the event of
excessive vibration.
The condenser pressure control is provided to maintain compressor discharge pressure.
The condensing pressure control loop consists of a pressure transmitter, 76-PIT-5030,
located on the refrigerant receiver. This pressure transmitter senses refrigerant receiver
pressure and provides a signal to a pressure indicating controller, 76-PIC-5030A. This
signal controls the function of the fans.
3.1.13 Propane Receiver, 76-ML01-MD04
The level of liquid propane is monitored in the receiver by level transmitter, 76-LIT-5007.
The receiver is provided with a pressure transmitter, 76-PIT-5030, to monitor the refrigerant
pressure and a temperature transmitter, 76-TIT-5030, to monitor the refrigerant in the
receiver.
Pressure Transmitter, 76-PIT-5030, provides input to 76-PIC-5030-A, described above and
to 76-PIC-5030-B which controls the receiver pressure by throttling purge valve, 76-PV-
5030. The main purpose of this valve is to vent non-condensables to the relief header.
Therefore, the set-point of this controller is set slightly higher than normal operating pressure
to prevent modulation of the valve during normal process service.
The 76-PV-5030 is adjusted to control the valve upstream pressure to the desired set point.
The 76-PIC-5030-B closes the 76-PV-5030 when the pressure is below the set point. The
76-PIC-5030-B opens the 76-PV-5030 when the pressure is above the set point.
3.1.14 Propane Flash Tank, 76-ML01-MD05
Level indicating controller, 76-LIC-5007, senses the propane liquid level via level transmitter,
76-LIT-5007 in 76-ML01-MD04 and sends an output signal to the level valve, 76-LV-5007
which maintains a liquid level in the propane receiver by adjusting the flow of liquid propane
from 76-ML01-MD04 to propane flash tank 76-ML01-MD05.
Level indicating controller, 76-LIC-1367, senses a liquid level via level transmitter, 76-LIT-
1367, located on the Propane Flash Tank, 76-ML01-MD05 and sends output signal to the
level valve, 76-LV-1367 which maintains a liquid level in the Propane Flash Tank.
This vessel is also provided with high and low liquid level alarms. At high liquid level, 76-
LAH-1367, PLC will de-energize 76-UY-5001 to close 76-UV-5001 so that no more propane
can enter from the refinery.

Each butane pump is provided with a temperature transmitter to monitor the bearing
temperature. A high bearing temperature will alarm and trip the pump.
3.1.20 Lubricant Recovery Still, 76-ML01-MD07
Lubricant and propane from the bottom of 76-ML01-MC02, 76-ML01-MC03, 76-ML01-MC04
and 76-ML01-MD05 is periodically drained into the Lubricant Recovery Still, 76-ML01-MD07,
via pneumatically actuated feed valves, 76-XV-5020, 76-XV-5021, 76-XV-5022, and 76-XV-
5023, as controlled by solenoid valves mounted on each valve. The control is via a step
sequencer which will open whenever the Lubricant Recovery Heater, 76-ML01-ML05, is
turned off unless the valve is disabled due to a high level in the recovery pot or if the
lubricant transfer valve is opened. The Lubricant Heater will turn on when the lubricant
temperature decreases due to cold lubricant and propane flow into the recovery still, thus
closing the feed valve. The heater will turn off when it reaches the set point (15°C).
Once the high liquid level, 76-LIT-5025, and heater temperature set point (15°C) are both
made at the same time, the following will happen:
• Feed valves which drain lubricant will close
• Pressure equalizing valve, 76-XV-5024, will close
• A High Liquid Level Alarm, 76-LAH-5025, will come on.
• An operator has to operate the Lubricant Recovery/Charging Pump, 76-ML01-MJ05,
using locally mounted hand switch, 76-HS-5028, and transfer lubricant from Recovery
Still to 1st Stage Propane Compressor, 76-ML01-MJ01-A/B, suction.
The Lubricant Recovery Heater, 76-ML01-ML05, installed in the recovery still is used to
vaporize the refrigerant. A temperature transmitter, 76-TIT-5106, on the recovery still
monitors this temperature and provides a process variable for the Heater Control Switch, 76-
TIC-5106. A decreasing temperature will turn the heater on.
The Recovery Still is also provided with a local Liquid Level Gauge, 76-LG-5014.

4.0 START-UP
This section outlines the steps necessary to place the Propane/Butane Refrigeration System
in service. For the purpose of this section of the operating manual, it is assumed that the
following conditions exist: The system and equipment have been pre-commissioned, tested,
commissioning has been completed, including dryout and cool down and system is purged
and ready for start-up.
4.1 Initial Start-up
1. Establish liquid inventory in Propane and Butane Storage Tanks prior to starting
Propane Compressors.
2. Ensure proper lock out of all block valves into and out of relief valves and other areas
as indicated on the P&ID.
3. Verify that all motor control switches are in the “OFF” position. This includes local
and HMI switches. Verify that the motor starters and lube oil heaters are in the run
position at the MCC.
4. Verify that remote ESD switches are not activated by checking the HMI alarm panel.
5. Check that the oil in the oil separator is at the proper level as indicated on the P&ID.
6. Check that all manual isolation valves are in the normal operating position.
7. Check lamp bulbs periodically. No lamp test switch is provided on the panel.
8. Turn on all circuit breakers feeding power to the panel.
9. Turn on power to the lubricant separator and lubricant recovery heaters. Verify that
the heaters are functioning.
10. Allow sufficient time for the lubricant to heat up.
11. Check that all the functions on operator interface (HMI) are working. This includes
checking all PID control set points are in accordance with the P&ID and confirming
HMI screen switching and functionality.
12. Push the “RESET” button to clear all alarm and shut down conditions. If the
conditions do not clear, the problem must be corrected prior to proceeding.
13. Insure that all lubrication valves to the compressor and hydraulic slide valve are open
and then start a lubricant pump motor to circulate the lubricant by placing it in
“Manual” at the HMI. Do not leave the area while the pump is in manual mode and
continually monitor the lubricant level in the separators. Circulate the lubricant to
provide hydraulic power to the slide valve and to set the pressure differential valves
on the pump discharges. The lubricating oil pressure differential control valve should
be set to give adequate oil manifold differential pressure with clean oil filter elements
fitted. After the PDCV is set for one pump, turn that pump off and do the same for
the second pump. Place both pumps in “Auto” on the HMI after this step.
14. Verify that the machine is fully unloaded in HMI.
15. Verify the operation of the condenser fans in manual mode.
16. Switch the capacity controller to “Manual” for manual loading of the compressor on
initial start-up. NOTE: The compressor must be unloaded prior to start-up. If the
compressor is started without first being unloaded, a higher starting torque will be
required and possible motor damage could result. A position interlock is provided to
prevent this.

5.0 SHUTDOWN
5.1 Normal Shutdown
The Propane/Butane Refrigeration Package, 76-ML01, will normally remain in service during
a shut down, however; if the system must be shut down, follow the steps below:
1. Stop the drive motor for 1st Stage Propane Compressors, 76-ML01-MJ02-A-M/-B-M,
by pushing the compressor stop switch, 76-HS-5030-B/5035-B. This will shutdown
the compressor, bring the slide valve to its minimum position. After compressor is at
minimum capacity or 20 seconds have passed, the lube oil pumps will stop. All these
functions will happen automatically.
2. Stop the drive motor for 2nd Stage Propane Compressors, 76-ML01-MJ04-A-M/-B-M,
units by pushing the stop switch 76-HS-5042-B/5045-B. This will shutdown the
compressor, bring the slide valve to its minimum position. After compressor is at
minimum capacity or 20 seconds have passed, the lube oil pumps will stop. All these
functions will happen automatically.
3. Ensure that the following valves close when 1st Stage Propane/Butane Compressor,
76-ML01-MJ01-A shuts down:
• 76-PV-5102 in the Propane Vapor Inlet line to 76-ML01-MJ01-A
• 76-TV-5002 in the Propane Inlet line from 76-ML01-MD04 to 76-ML01-MJ01-A.
• 76-XV-5016 in the Propane inlet line from 76-ML01-MD04 to 76-ML01-MJ01-A.
• 76-XV-5013 in the lubricant line from 1st Stage Lubricant Pumps 76-ML01-MJ02-
A/B to 76-ML01-MJ01-A
• 76-XV-5103 in vent line from 1st Stage Compressor Seal Drain Pot, 76-ML01-
MJ08-A to safe location.
• 76-XV-5005 in the lubricant line from 76-ML01-MD01 to Compressor Propane
vapor inlet line.
This is an example of the valves that close for each compressor when the
compressor is shut down.
4. Verify that the inlet and outlet control valves for each vessel in the compressor
system are closed when the compressors are shutdown.
5.1.1 Shutdown Precautions
Each compressor operates on a lubricant and process media mixture and short periods of
shut down will not adversely affect the compressor.
If the compressor is shut down for an extended period, the lubricant pump should be
operated for approximately 15 seconds weekly, to distribute lubricant throughout the system.
If the lubricant header is provided with an isolation valve, it must be forced open to allow
lubricant to flow to the compressor.
If the shut down period is three months or more, the above procedure can be repeated at
weekly intervals but the compressor system should also be run for one hour every three
months. In addition, the normal lubricant can be drained off and replaced with inhibiting oil,
with the lubricant pump being operated for one hour. If the compressor has been run on
inhibiting oil, this should be repeated at three month intervals during the shutdown period.
It is necessary to rotate each compressor by hand once per week to prevent brinelling of the
anti-friction bearings.

3. Loss of Propane Refrigeration Compressor 76-ML01-MJ04-A/-B
Loss of Propane Refrigeration Compressor will lead to high pressure in the Propane
Storage Tank and the Butane Storage Tank. This will further lead to opening of 76-PV-
1445B on Propane Storage Tank to open to LP Flare. And also opening of 76-PV-
1145B on Butane Storage Tank to open to LP Flare.
When the pressure on the Propane Storage Tank continues to rise further Interlock I-
7630 will be activated on HH pressure (76-PT-1444), closing:
• 76-ESDV 1256 and 76-ESDV 1427 (Propane from the New Train).
• 76-ESDV 1491 and 76-ESDV 1492 (Propane from LPG unit).
• 76-ESDV 1481 and 76-ESDV 1482 (Propane from units 5P/6P).
When the pressure on the Butane Storage Tank continues to rise further, Interlock I-
7650 will be activated on HH pressure (76-PT-1144), closing:
• 76-ESDV 1255 and 76-ESDV 1127 (Butane from the New Train).
• 76-ESDV 1351 and 76-ESDV 1352 (Butane from LPG unit).
• 76-ESDV 1361 and 76-ESDV 1362 (Butane from units 5P/6P).
If the pressure on the Propane Storage Tank continues to rise further than 76-PRV-
1400A and 76-PRV-1400B on the tank will relive excess pressure to the atmosphere. If
the presskure on the Butane Storage Tank continues to rise further, then 76-PRV-
1129A and 76-PRV-1129B on the tank will relieve excess pressure to the atmosphere.
4. Loss of propane vapor to Refrigeration Package 76-ML01
Loss of propane vapor flow from both Propane Storage Tank 76-MF01 and refinery to
Propane Refrigeration Package 76-ML01 will cause the unit to operate on recycle
automatically to maintain compressor suction pressure. Operators should monitor the
unit and initiate a shutdown if required.
5. Loss of butane vapor to Refrigeration Package 76-ML01
Loss of butane vapor flow from both Butane Storage Tank 76-MF02 and refinery to
Refrigeration Package 76-ML01 will have no effect.
