SOURCE:
The crude oil received from offshore platform is in the unstabilized form. This crude
oilreaches the Uran Plant through 3 oil trunk lines.The 30" MUT oil pipeline from
Mumbai High and 24" HUT oil pipeline from satellite off-shore platform are the
principal feed stock to plant. In addition, provision is kept to processthe slug catcher
liquid and reprocessing oil from tank area and recovered oil from theexisting
facilities at Uran. Provision is also kept to process the low aromatic naphtha (LAN)in
the LPG recovery units, Condensate Fractionate Units and liquid condensate
fromassociated gas compressors.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
There are five identical trains each consisting of high pressure separator (HP),
Dehydrator,pre-heater and low pressure separator. Each train has a processing
capacity of 5 MMTPA.The Pressurized crude oil received from BUT and HUT oil trunk
lines into five streams andpreheated by steam upto 45C before entering into High
Pressure Separator V-201/A/B/C/D/V-601/613 operating at pressure of 3.5
kg/cm^2g.The oil flows out under levelcontrol and can either be directly sent to low
pressure separator or can be pumped to theDehydrator system. High pressure gas
leaves the HP separators under pressure control and issent for compression.Before
entering the Dehydrators oil is preheated first by heat exchange with dehydrated
oiland then in the crude heaters upto 65C. The Dehydrators remove water and salt
from oil. Thedehydration is accomplished by the injection of demulsified, heating or
by the application of high voltage electro-static field in the oil-water emulsion. The
dehydrated oil flows underlevel control, exchange heat with feed to dehydrator and
is then sent to low PressureSeparators.The water produced by dehydration is sent to
EPTP (Effluent Pre-Treatment Plant) forpredisposal treatment.The stabilized oil is
pumped to five Main Storage Tanks T-202A/B/C/D/E, T-601/A/B/C/D.The gases from
the HP separators, Degassers and LP separators are compressed in the MultiService
Gas Compressors and sent to LPG unit combining with associated gas from the
trunkline. These are done by 3 stages reciprocating Compressors, operating at
suction pressures of 0.05 kg/cm^2g and 14.0 kg/cm^2g. The Degassers are
connected to compressors 1 and HPseparator gases are connected to 2 stage
suction.
COMPONENTS:
FEED SUPPLY :
The offshore crude oil is received at Uran through 3 oil trunk lines- 30" BUT oil
pipeline (presently isolated).- 30" MUT oil pipeline.- 24" HUT oil pipeline.MUT oil
pipelines are provided with three turbine flow meters and one bypass with
strainersup streams of interconnection. At CSU end the MUT oil feed line is provided
with two out of three turbine type flow meters in parallel and the HUT oil feed line is
provided one out of two turbines types flow meters which measures and integrates
flow to the CSU unit. Twostrainers in MUT as well as in HUT oil line have been
upstream of flow meters.
HP SEPARATORS:
The feed to each High Pressures Separator (HP Separator) is taken from the existing
24"header through a 16" line with isolation motor operated valve MOV-
201/202/203/101/1101, oneshut down valve SDV - 201/202/203/101/1101 and one
hand control valve HCV -201/202/203/101/1101. The feed is heated to 40C before
entering the HP separator, in crudePre-heater using MP steam.The HP Separator are
three phase horizontal separation vessels, capable of separation oil,free water and
gas, having a hold up time of 3 minutes with 50% filling. They are 12.2m longand
has an outer diameter of 2.74m designed for pressure of 5.5 kg/cm^2g and a
temperatureof 55C. Each HP Separator is provided with two relief valves, one
operating and other onstandby.The gas from the separator flows on pressure
control, through PCV-1010/1020/1030/101/1101 tothe compressors. The produced
water flows on interface level control through ILCV-1101/1020/1030/101/1101.The
flow of oil from HP Separator is indicated by flow indicators FI-1101/1021/1031/102 /
1102.
LP SEPARATORS:
The stabilized crude oil from the LP Separator flows by gravity into the Intermediate
Surgetanks. These are come roof atmospheric storage tanks of
24
m diameter and 12.6m heighthaving a nominal capacity of
5000m^3
each. Heating coils are provided in these tanks, withMP steam as the heating
medium. The tanks are provided with one low level alarm and onehigh level alarm.
The separated gas is continuously vented to safe location through flamearrestor
