TABLE OF CONTENTS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Bretaña Field is located in Peruvian Amazon.
As a part of the project, the following major process equipment will be installed to tie in the
existing production facilities:
• Heater Treater
• Desalter
2.0 SCOPE
The purpose of this document is to describe the control and shutdown philosophy for the
new heater-treater and the required interfaces via hardwired signals and communication
links between the existing Basic Process Control System (BPCS) / Safety System (SSS)
/ Human Machine Interface (HMI) systems:
• Remotely monitor process equipment at the facility HMI
• Control Levels, temperatures, and pressures
• Closing of shutdown valves and associated equipment in case of
emergency events.
3.0 RELATED DOCUMENTS AND REFERENCES
The following documents should be used in conjunction with this Control and Shutdown
Philosophy.

The Heater Treater offers enhanced 3-phase separation over standard gravity
separation. In the first section (Heater section), the inlet feed is diverted to the outer
portion of the vessel by means of an inlet shroud which guides the fluid underneath the
firetubes. Free water and suspended solids drop out as the oil rises to pass over and
across the firetubes. The firetubes deliver heat via two (2) 5 MMBTU/hr burners which
maintain an operating temperature of 220-240°F. As the oil is heated, the viscosity
decreases, and the oil is also degassed. A pressure control loop holds a back pressure
of 40-60 psig on the vessel. The oil then flows up and over a weir to the coalescing
section where the oil encounters a coalescing plate pack where water droplet
coalescence takes place allowing for additional water removal. After passing thru the
plate pack, the oil then flows over the oil bucket weir and then out of the vessel. Water is
removed from the vessel via two separate water outlet which maintain independent
levels.
Two instrument junction boxes will be part of the heater treater package, JBS-1H400-01
and JBP-1H400-01. All safety related signals will be terminated to the existing SSS and
are wired to JBS-1H400-01. All other signals are terminated to JBP-1H400-01 and will
be connected to the BPCS.
The SDV for the crude oil inlet is SDV-1H400-01. The valve will have
position status feedback to the SSS and HMI. SDY-1H400-01, a
shutdown solenoid, is installed on the IA and controlled by the SSS.
When SDY-1H400 is de-energized, SDV1H400-01 will fully close. Refer
to the Cause & Effect for associated actions.

7.3 Produced Water Outlet
The Heater Treater is separated into two sections via a spill-over weir.
This creates two separate compartments which each maintain oil-water
interface levels independent of one another. Interface level control is
accomplished in each to different sections of the Heater Treater by
independent LCV’s and an associated Level Transmitter. The first section
(heater section), which functions as a heating and free water knock out
section, will handle much of the produced water. The second section
(coalescing section), which contains the coalescing plate pack, will handle
additional produced water mostly due to the coalescing.
The position of the level control valve associated with the heating/FWKO
section of the Heater Treater, LCV-1H400-03, is modulated by applying 4-
20 mA signal to LY-1H400-03. 0%, once calibrated and set, will
correspond to 4 mA and fully closed position. 100%, once calibrated and
set, will correspond to 20mA and fully open position. LCV opening, travel,
and Cv shall be per control valve manufacturer operating manual.
The position of the level control valve associated with the coalescing
section of the Heater Treater, LCV-1H400-02, is modulated by applying a
4-20 mA signal to LY-1H400-02. 0%, once calibrated and set, will
correspond to 4 mA and fully closed position. 100%, once calibrated and
set, will correspond to 20mA and fully open position. LCV opening, travel,
and Cv shall be per control valve manufacturer operating manual.
Treated oil is isolated from produced water falling out in the coalescing
section by means of an oil bucket located in the rear of the Heater
Treater. Oil Level Control is accomplished by means of a LCV and an
associated level transmitter.
The position of the heater treater oil level control valve, LCV-1H400-01, is
modulated by applying 4-20 mA signal to LY-1H400-01. 0%, once
calibrated and set, will correspond to 4 mA and fully closed position.
100%, once calibrated and set, will correspond to 20mA and fully open
position. LCV opening, travel, and Cv shall be per control valve
manufacturer operating manual.
LIT-1H400-03 provides monitoring and alarming for oil level in the BPCS
for the Heater Treater 1-H-400. LIT-1H400-03 also provides the PV for
LIC-1H400-03 in which the CV modulates LCV-1H400-02 by means of
LY-1H400-02. This level transmitter is located on the Heater Treater.
Please refer to section 7.6 for information related to control set points.
7.5 Burners
Heat is added to the process separation by means of two (2) 5 MMBTU/hr forced
draft burners using #2 fuel oil / diesel.
For burner “B”, an identical setup is used with the differing tag suffixes
ending with a “B” instead of an “A”.
