PREFACE
This Process Design Criteria (PDC) document provides general guidelines and pr ocedures for
specifying major equipment and/or systems that will be used for all phases of design for the
Aprovechamiento de Residuales de la Refineria Miguel Hidalgo en Tula Project (ART). It ensures that
standard and consistent design oriteria are used by all project design teams, namely Pemex, ICA Fluor,
Fluor, Technology Licensors, and various Contractors and Vendors.
This PDC also serves as an important alignment and communication tool among the various project
participants, namely Pemex, ICA-Fluor, Fluor, Technology Licensors, Contractors and Vendors. For
this reason, this document has to be issued in the early stages of the project. However, the normal
course of project activities and design development may result in changes to the various design data
covered by this document especially for revamp units. To maintain the validity of this document, these
changes will be issued via subsequent revisions after pre-agreed by PEMEX, Fluor and ICA-Fluor.
In the case where Licensors and/or Contractors have more stringent design criteria than those
contained in this document, the Licensor specifications may be used as necessary subject to PEMEX
review and approval.
The document is intended to be used for new units or new installations within revamped units. The
decision to replace equipment in a revamped unit which may not meet the specific requirements of this
document should be based on the Engineering judgment of the Lead Process Engineer and should be
reviewed with PEMEX as appropriate.

4.0 INTRODUCTION
This document is intended to provide general guidelines and procedures for specifying major
‘equipment and/or systems and piping for the Pemex Project “Aprovechamiento de Residuales de
la Refineria Miguel Hidalgo en Tula" (ART). The objective of this document is to provide
guidance on basic process design criteria to ensure consistency in the process design made by
all project design teams (Pemex, Fluor, ICA Fluor, Licensors, Contractors, and Equipment
Vendors) during all phases of the ART Project. Guidelines should be incorporated into the
Licensor/Contractor basic engineering work as appropriate.
This document contains key design concepts based on O ficial Mexican Standards (NOM),
Mexican Standards (NMX), PEMEX Reference Standards (NRF), other PEMEX standards and/or
industrial standards and practices
Many of the criteria discussed in this document are presented in more detail in the NOM's, NMX's
or NRF’s, which must be referred to by the Licensors and Contractors for more detail information
with respect to the design philosophy, regulations, standards, codes, and specifications.
In the event of any discrepancies between this document and the standards referenced above,
the NOM’S, NMX’S, or NRF’S should take precedence.

2.0 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
This section discusses general design philosophy applicable to all equipment, systems and piping
‘on the Pemex Project “Aprovechamiento de Residuales de la Refineria Miguel Hidalgo en Tula
(ART). Specific design criteria for Equipment, Piping and Instrumentation are discussed in more
detail in Sections 3, 4and5, respectively. Additionally, the Drawing Format and S afety and
Environmental Considerations are presented in Sections 6 and 7. During the course of design
development, pertinent job bulletins specifying other requirements such as starl-up and shutdown
philosophy and emergency isolation valves may be issued to supplement this document as
necessary.
2.1 Design Pressure
In designing equipment, piping and instrumentation systems, adequate pressure and temperature
margins should be specified for the most stringent coincident operating conditions and the
mechanical design level to ensure mechanical integrity of the system, Additionally, most systems
will also have safety relief valves to protect the systems against abnormal conditions, such as
blocked discharge, fire and instrument failures.
In specifying the design pressure of the system, it should be noted that operating pressure as
specified in NRF-028-PEMEX-2010, Section 6.26, is the gauge pressure on the upper part of the
vessel at which the vessel operates normally, which should not exceed the Maximum Allowable
Working Pressure (MAWP), and is usually maintained at an appropriate margin below the relief
pressure of the equipment, so that it prevents frequent releases.
Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) and Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) are
defined as the process operating condition that would give the highest coincident fluid pressure
and temperature calculated for steady balance operation.
MAWP js calculated by Mechanical Engineering based on the specified design pressure after
actual components used to fabricate the equipment are selected. The design pressure should be
‘equal to or less than the MAWP.
Design pressure is the pressure that the process engineers specify for the system and equipment
to provide appropriate margin above the maximum operating pressure to ensure mechanical
integrity of the system as defined in Table 2.1
The design pressure should consider the following conditions’
‘+ Normal operations, which may include anticipated variations in fractionation requirements,
charge stock composition and other process variations as well as blocked out modes of
operation.
‘+ Other operating conditions, which may include catalyst regeneration, start-up, short-term
operating conditions, etc.
© Steam-out
‘+ Minimum temperature, i.e., ambient temperature, auto-refrigeration systems
Vacuum conditions - If applicable and governing the material selection or material
treatment,
Design pressure is generally specified for a system, which may include multiple equipment
services and associated instrumentation and piping. As defined in API STD 520/521, a pressure
system is a system which, within its boundaries, is open. A typical pressure system may consist

of process equipment, such as columns, heat exchangers, vessels, etc., interconnected by piping
with no valves (except locked open valves and check valves in certain situations as approved by
PEMEX). A pressure system may be protected by only one relief valve or set of relief valves,
provided it is ensured that the system, within its boundaries, remains open under all conditions.
Equipment that are part of a pressure system protected by a relief valve discharging into a flare
system or combined vent system should have a design pressure of at least 3.5 kg/cm’g. Lower
design pressures may be considered if the relief valve releases directly to the atmosphere. Relief
valves and flare systems should fully comply with NRF-031-PEMEX-2011 Flare and B urers
Systems.
Only in cases where the application of pressure relief devices is either impossible or impractical
may instrumented protective functions be considered, subject to the approval of PEMEX. The
Licensor/Contractor should consider High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS) in
accordance with Section 7.1.4.3 and Appendix E of API Standard 521/ISO 23251. PEMEX
requires the Licensor/Contractor to undertake a mass reduction study to determine the application
of the HIPPS. Additional details for this study are included within the individual unit design bases.
Design pressure guidelines for specific equipment are provided in Table 2.1 and as discussed
below.
2.14 Vessels, Reactors and Columns
Vessels, reactors and columns should be designed in compliance with the appropriate
standards listed below:
‘+ NRF-028-PEMEX-2010 Design and Construction of Pressure Vessels,
+ NRF-136-PEMEX-2011 Process Towers, Trays and Internals
The following is an extract from NRF-028-PEMEX-2010, paragraph 8.1.4:
‘+The internal design pressure should not be less than the most severe pressure at the
coincidental temperature expected during upset operation of the vessel or the
maximum operating pressure plus 10% or 2.0 kg/cm’g, whichever is greater.
+ The external design pressure should not beless that the most severe external
pressure at coincidental temperature expected during upset operation or maximum
operating external pressure plus 10%. If the vessel has compartments or chambers or
equivalent, the design pressure should not be less than the internal design pressure
as described above or the relieving pressure of the relief device, whichever is greater.
+ Vessels or vessel components that will be subjected to steam-out or steam service
should be des igned for am inimum external pressure of full vacuum and s team
temperature see Section 2.3.2 for steam out operations and guide lines. Note that
NRF-028-PEMEX-2010, paragraph 8.1.4.3 has beens uperseded by the above
requirements for the ART Project.
‘+ Vessels or vessel components that will be subjected to air purging should be designed
for a minimum internal design pressure of 7 kg/cm’g at 80°C. It should be noted that
air purging is uncommon. Nitrogen purging is normally used instead of air purging for
equipment in hydrocarbon services since the combination of air with hydrocarbons
may potentially form an explosive mixture, which should be avoided at any time,

‘+ The intemal and external design pressure of pressure vessels with one or more
compartments or chambers should be de termined by the most severe pressure-
temperature scenarios possible (during start-up, normal operation, opening of vacuum,
or pressure relief devices, emergency shutdown, scheduled shutdown, operator error,
fire, and others). This design pressure determination should be supported with a risk
study based on different possible scenarios.
The following should also be considered
* All vessels under pressure should be specified with ASME stamp and be designed
with a minimum design pressure of 3.5 kg/em’g
2.1.2 Heat Exchangers, Pumps and Compressors
Heat exchangers should be designed in accordance with the appropriate standards listed
below in conjunction with the appropriate job narrative specification. This section also
addresses design pressures for pumps and compressors, which may be part the heat
exchanger system.
Design Pressure should be in full accordance with paragraph 8,2.2 of NRF-090-PEMEX-2013
Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers, see selected excerpts below:

‘+ For non-pumped system, design pressure shall be 10% higher than the maximum
operating pressure. In any case, the difference between the internal design pressure
and maximum operating must be no less than 2.11 kg/em’g.
In addition to the guidelines provided in NRF-090-PEMEX-2043, the following general
practices are to be considered:
‘+ For pumped system, if heat exchangers or other equipment could be subject to the
maximum pump discharge pressure at shutoff (existence of a block valve downstream
of the exchanger), the design pressure shall be equal to the maximum head at no flow
based on the purchased pump performance curve. During the design phase of the
project, pump shutoff head can be estimated as follows:
Maximum suction + Normal AP, or
Normal suction + Maximum AP, whichever is greater.
For booster pumps (two pumps in series), Maximum suction + Maximum AP
Notes:
1, Maximum AP = 1.25 times Normal AP (for fixed speed electric motors)
2, Maximum AP = 1.35 times Normal AP (for variable speed electric motors or steam
turbine drivers)
3. The maximum differential head at shutoff conditions should be determined based on
the maximum anticipated liquid density. Consideration must be given to operation
with cold start-up fluids.
* For centrifugal compressors, the discharge design pressure of the compressor shall be
at least 1.25 times the maximum specified discharge pressure based on API RP 617.
This is an approximation of the maximum head at low or no flow condition to avoid the

need for relief valve. In cases when there is a relief valve, the design pressure should
be at least equal to the specified relief valve set point.
‘+ For reciprocating compressors, the maximum operating pressure (MOP) is equal to
the rated discharge pressure in kg/cm’g, which includes pressure pulsations based on
API RP 618. A relief valve should be provided at the discharge of reciprocating
compressors set at the design pressure, which is at least 110% of the MOP. Based on
API RP 618, MOP to consider pulsation amplitude.
‘+ If the exchanger operates under vacuum, the internal design pressure should be set to
full vacuum, in which case the minimum design extemal pressure should be full
vacuum,
‘+ Inany shell and tube exchanger design where tube rupture can result in overpressure
of the low pressure side, consider designing the low-pressure side of the exchanger
for at least 10/13 (= 76.92%) of the design pressure of the high-pressure side if such a
design eliminates a relief valve.
+ If the exchanger is subject to steam out or if there is a pos sibility that vacuum
conditions may occur during operation or shutdown, the exchanger shall be designed
for full vacuum,
‘+ For a shell and tube exchanger, if the cold side is a liquid and there is a possibility of
the cold side of the exchanger being blocked in, a thermal relief valve will be provided
on the exchanger cold side, set at the cold side design pressure.
‘+ Ifthe hot side is a liquid at low operating pressure and the exchanger can be blocked
in onthe hot side and the hot side liquid could conceivably cool enough to draw a
partial vacuum, the exchanger should be design for full vacuum.
‘+ For reactor loops, the design pressure of the heat exchangers and other equipment
are typically set by the reactor loop design pressure. For establishing design
Pressures for equipment and piping in hydro-processing reactor loops, refer to the
guidelines provided in API STD 521, Appendix B. The settle-out pressure is the
attained pressure of the system when the compressor is shutdown and internal
pressure reach ane quilibrium state. Equipment design pressure is the settle-out
pressure plus 5% if pilot valves used, or settle out pressure plus 10%.
2.1.3. Atmospheric and Pressurized Storage Tanks
Storage Tanks should be designed in accordance with the appropriate standards such as API
650 and API 620 in conjunction with the appropriate job narrative specification
The following guidelines are provided for various storage tanks. It is also recommended to
consult with Mechanical before specifying the design pressure for storage tanks.
‘+ For Atmospheric Storage Tanks, design pressure shall be 2.5 inches of water (gauge).
+ For Pressurized Storage Tanks, design pressure shall be 110% of MOP
+ For Refrigerated Storage Tanks, design pressure shall be MOP.
214 Piping
For piping design pressure, the guidelines below shall be followed:

whichever is applicable.
* For centrifugal pumps, design pressure for discharge piping and suction piping
downstream of suction block valve or VAAR, if present, shall be equal to maximum
pump discharge pressure based on purchased pump performance curve.
‘+ For centrifugal compressors, the design pressure of the compressor discharge shall be
at least equal to the specified relief valve setting; if ar elief valve setting is not
specified, the design pressure shall be at least 1.25 times the maximum specified
discharge pressure (refer to API RP 617). This is an approximation of the maximum,
head at low or no flow to avoid the need for a relief valve. Maximum driver speed shall
also be considered in calculating the maximum head,
‘+ Design pressure of piping and equipment protected by a pressure relief valve (PSV) on
an interconnected equipment system (i.e., several equipment items protected by a
single relief valve) shall not be less than the pressure expected when PSV reaches set
pressure. Protected piping and equipment located upstream of the PSV takeoff
location shall have a design pressure sufficiently higher than the PSV set pressure to
account for maximum system pressure drop between protected piping and P SV
location. Protected piping and equipment located downstream of PSV takeoff location
shall have a design pressure at least equal to PSV set pressure to account for
minimum pressure drop of zero for no flow.
+ PSV discharge piping shall be designed for at least the maximum back pressure.
Consideration should be given to the following conditions in specifying the design pressure of
piping
‘+ Starting up operations, including any start-up procedure, operation, or routing
‘+ Shutting down operations, including shutdown procedures, operation, and pump-out
‘+ Switching operations, including any cyclic regeneration, spare pump switching, and

2.2 Design Temperature
Similar to the design pressure, adequate margin should be maintained between the design
temperature andthe maximum operating temperature to ensure mechanical integrity of the
equipment and piping system
The operating temperature is the temperature which prevails inside equipment and piping during
any intended operation. In many situations, the temperature differences from those required for
the intended operation can occur, The question whether such temperatures should be specified
and taken as the operating temperature or the design temperature should be considered
individually and the reason for the specification should be stated in the pertaining documents.
Typically, the maximum operating temperature is the highest temperature which corresponds to
the upper temperature control range provided for flexibility of the intended operation. The design
temperature (DT) is typically 28°C higher than the maximum operating temperature at the
specified design pressure.
The DT is the highest temperature at which equipment may be subjected to at the design
pressure. The DT is used for mechanical design (e.g., determination of minimum wall thickness
and other physical characteristics) of equipment and piping
Consideration should be given to the following conditions in specifying the design temperature of
piping and equipment:
‘+ Normal operating conditions such as fractionation requirements, charge stock composition
and other process variations
‘+ Blocked out modes of operation
‘Minimum temperature, i.e., ambient temperature, auto-refrigeration
+ Vacuum conditions
‘© Fouling of heat exchangers
+ Loss of utility such as cooling water or instrument air
‘+ Starting up operations
‘© Shutting down operations
‘+ Switching operations including any cyclic regenerations and coke drum switching
+ Regeneration procedures
* Equipment bypassing
+ Turndown operations
© Control valve failures in fully open or fully closed position
‘+ Block valves in fully open or fully closed position, except for locked valves

‘+ Maintenance, repair, or neutralization procedures
+ Steam-out or purging operations
‘+ Other causes of increased temperature
For equipment and piping subject to steam-out, a minimum design pressure of full vacuum at
steam temperature shall be specified, see Section 2.3.2 guidelines for steam out guide lines
operations.
If MOT for large columns is greater than 235°C, consideration should be given for providing
multiple design temperatures by dividing column into two or more zones.
For reciprocating compressors, the maximum allowable discharge temperature (MOT) shall not
‘exceed the limits stipulated in API RP 618, Reciprocating Compressors for Petroleum, Chemical,
and Gas Industry Services. Typically, the maximum predicted discharge temperature should not
exceed 150°C. This limit applies to all specified operating and load conditions (to be provided by
the vendor). Special consideration shall be given to services with high-pressure hydrogen or
applications requiring non-lubricated cylinders, where temperature limitations should be | ower.
Predicted discharge temperatures shall not exceed 136°C for hydrogen-rich services (those with
molecular weight of 12 or less). Note that recommended discharge temperature alarm and trip
set points are 5°C and 10°C, respectively, over the maximum predicted discharge temperature;
but in no case should temperature trip set points exceed 180°C, To prevent auto-ignition, lower
temperature set points limits should be considered for air because of its oxygen content, if the
discharge pressure exceeds 21 kg/cm’g. Use of synthetic oils, although not intended as a means
to increase the allowable discharge temperature, should be considered for additional safely (Ref.
API RP 618, paragraph 2.3),
Separate combination of design pressure and temperature may be considered to accommodate
different modes of operation, e.g. regeneration versus normal operation, taking into consideration
rating of the piping for short term condition in conformance with the ASME B31.3 piping code.
Design temperature for relief and flare system shall be bas ed on temperature of fluid being
relieved, taking into account temperature change across PSV and thermal effects in discharge
piping. Discharge piping shall be designed for the expected temperature of the piping during
relief, For very high relief temperatures for fire cases, maximum design temperature for flare
laterals and headers shall not be based on the fire relief case temperature. For these lines, a
note shall be added to line list to provide the fire relief temperature for stress analysis use only.
2.2.1 Lower Design Temperature
The lower design temperature (LDT) is the lowest temperature at which equipment may be
subjected to its design pressures. In establishing the LDT for equipment containing LPG or
compressed flammable low molecular weight gas, it should be r ealized that the lower
temperature normally coincides with a reduced pressure due to auto-refrigeration
Construction materials should be selected to prevent brittle fracture under circumstances such
as startup, shutdown, depressurization or other operations. Thus, for material selection
purpose the design temperature may be below the LDT.

2.2.2. Minimum Design Metal Temperature
Per NRF-028-PEMEX-2010, Design and Construction of Pressure Vessels, the Minimum
Design Metal temperature (MDMT) should not be less than the recorded minimum ambient
temperature at the location. For the ART Project, the MDMT is specified as 0°C at the
specified design pressure.
2.3. External Design Pressure and Steam-out Conditions
2.3.1 Guidelines for External Design Pressure
‘+ Only equipment and piping that operate under full or partial vacuum during start-up,
normal operation, or upset modes or are subject to steam out operation, shall be
designed for an external pressure.
‘+ Equipment and piping in the following services will be designed for full vacuum:
© Equipment operating under partial or full vacuum during normal operation
© Suction drum for a compressor or vacuum pump
© Equipment containing steam or stripping steam during normal operation, such as
sour water strippers and amine regenerators.
‘* Special consideration shall be given when specifying external design pressure for
‘equipment normally subject to internal pressure but connected to the suction of a
compressor or other evacuating equipment.
‘+ Equipment operating a low pressure that may be affected by decrease in ambient
temperatures should also be given special consideration, Examples are overhead
receivers operating at low pressure and receiving feed from an air-cooled exchanger.
‘+ For water (cooling water, stripped sour water) systems heat exchangers shall be
designed for half vacuum at its corresponding design temperature.
2.3.2 Guidelines for Steam-out Conditions
‘+ For systems that will be s ubject to steam-out as part of maintenance or routine
operation, the design should be adequate for steam-out operation. NRF-028-PEMEX-
2010, paragraph 8.1.4.3 has been superseded by the following requirements for the
ART Project
© Medium pressure steam will be used for steam-out operations. Refer to Basic
Engineering Design Data (BEDD) document for medium pressure steam
conditions.
© Equipment and piping subject to steam-out as part of maintenance should be
designed for full vacuum @ 225°C and 3.5 kg/cmg internal pressure @ 335°C.
2 Provisions, i.e, connections, nozzles, etc., should be provided to allow for steam
‘out of equipment and piping in hydrocarbon and sour water services.
9 Since vacuum conditions may exist due to steam condensation, the Operating
Manual or Guidelines for the plant should state that the vessel is not to be
blocked in during steam-out operations even if it is designed for full vacuum as

stated above. The Operating Manual or Guidelines for the plant should also state
that the vessel is not to be blocked, i.e. vents must be fully open during steam
out operation, to avoid internal overpressure, especially in those cases where the
vessel design pressure is below the medium pressure steam level used during
steam-out operations. Steam Out flow must be controlled to hold a maximum
pressure around 1 - 1.5 kg/cm‘g internal pressure during the steam out process.

loss, if the required heat loses of the Licensor in piping and equipment are less than those shown
‘on the NRF-034-PEMEX-2011 reference, then the Licensor has to calculate his own specific
isolation thicknesses, and these calculated thicknesses should not be less than the thickness
mentioned in the Pemex specification (NRF-034-PEMEX-2011),
In order to perform the thickness calculation, the environmental temperature to consider will be
20°C,
Special Requirements
PEMEX requires the use of Control Trace steam tracing for vacuum residue, liquid sulphur and
tail gas piping.
PEMEX requires the use of removable and reusable insulation, according to the calculated
thickness andthe requirements specified in the NRF-034-PEMEX-2011. Also the thermal
insulation of the lines and main process equipment and services must have ports for thickness
measurement according to DG-SASIPA-SI-0204, with removable lid and sealed to prevent
moisture penetration.

3.1.3 Design Temperature
(Ref. NRF-028-PEMEX-2010, paragraph 8.1.3)
+ The Minimum Design Metal Temperature (MDMT) should not be less than the
recorded minimum ambient temperature at the location (0°C). The MDMT that is
determined for the vessel or for the vessel component should be shown on the name
plate, at the coincidental MAWP. The MDMT should be considered for each
coincidental MAWP for all possible scenarios.
+ The maximum and minimum DT should not be higher or lower than the respective
minimum and maximum temperature permissible by the material of construction, so
that the stress will not exceed the allowable limits at the DT.
* Refer to Section 2.2 for general guidelines,
3.1.4 Equipment Isolation
Include bypass and the blocks required to isolate the operating equipment for maintenance,
without shutting down the plant, where applicable.
3.1.5 Column Sizing
In addition to NRF-136-PEMEX-2011, the following general practices are to be considered:
+ Except for specifically justified applications, valve trays should be specified for
columns. Column sizing should be based ona maximum of 85% of jet flood and a
maximum downcomer backup of 50% al normal capacity. Vendor standard flooding
correlations should be used. It should be noted that some applications such as amine
treating may require more stringent flooding criteria due to foaming tendencies or other
known operating issues. Derating factors should be applied in accordance with the
service following internals vendor recommendations.
‘+ Allowance should be made for system derating factors to reflect actual experience with
certain systems that display tendencies towards foaming or other anomalous behavior.
‘+ Minimum inside diameter for trayed columns shall be 800 mm. There is no minimum
diameter for packed columns.
3.1.6 Design Considerations
The following design guidelines are to be taken into consideration:
‘+ Vessel/column inside diameters will be specified in increments of 50 mm. Tangent-to-
tangent lengths will be specified in increments of 100 mm. The use of vendor
standard head sizes will be considered where a cost savings can be justified. Vendor
should provide support documentation for evaluation and acceptance from PEMEX
prior to implementation
‘+ Vessels with small diameters should consider standard pipe sizes for shell material
‘+ Maximum and normal liquid levels and alarm and shutdown levels should be specified
from bottom tangent line for columns and vertical vessels, and from the bottom for
horizontal vessels.

> 8400 900)
‘+ Tray spacing less than 610 mm but not less than 450 mm will be considered for clean,
non-foaming services. Reduced tray spacing should only be considered in small
diameter columns as inspection will require complete tray removal. For special
applications tray spacing of less than 450mm may be considered with PEMEX
approval.
+ Tray spacing should be greater than the minimum shown above where required for
access to column intemals, vapor disengaging, nozzle interference or other reasons.
‘+The minimum tray spacing at manway locations should be 750 mm
‘+ Minimum distance from top of tray to top tangent should be 750 mm or as required to
accommodate the manway, internals, nozzles or other criteria such as vapor liquid
disengagement.
‘+ Column trays should be numbered from top to bottom.
‘+ Design should consider earthquake and wind conditions.
3.1.7 Vessel and Column Internal Details
Vessel and column internal details should be in full accordance with NRF-0136-PEMEX-2011
Process Towers, Trays and Internals, with respect to: 1) materials, 2) internals design, 3)
manufacture, 3) operation, 4) inspection, 5) testing and 5) shipping guarantees
3.1.8. Skirt Height
Required skirt heights above grade will be set by process conditions (e.g. pump NPSH).
‘When skirt height is not influenced by process factors, it will be specified at a minimum of 800
mm, or as required to accommodate piping. Dimensions should be rounded up to the nearest
100 mm.
3.1.9 Nozzles, Boots and Manways
In addition to paragraph 8.1.10 of NRF-028-PEMEX-2010, the following general practices are
to be considered:
A. Inlet/Outlet Nozzle Design Considerations

DESIGN CRITERIA Rot
* Nozzles should be sized by line sizing criteria or the maximum velocity limitations,
whichever is controlling,
+ Liquid level column connections should be provided on the bottom section of all
columns, accumulators, surge vessels, and coalescers. A separate liquid level
should be provided for the high level shutdown of compressors as this control
should be exclusive to the shutdown protection and must be independent of any
measurement or control functions. This requirement shall also apply to any
shutdown, such as low level XV closure or any other Emergency Shutdown (ESD)
related device,
* Bottom liquid level column connections should be in a hor izontal position, and
located above the bottom of the vessel to prevent plugging and water pockets.
* Hydrocarbon pump suction nozzles should be provided with an elevated vortex
breaker if water is present or a bottom flush vortex breaker if no water is present.
* Water pump suction nozzles should be provided with bottom flush vortex breaker.
* Pump suction nozzles in horizontal vessels should be located in the opposite end
of the vessel from the inlet.
+ Unless otherwise specified, nozzles for liquid suction should be fitted with a vortex.
protection device. Also they should be arranged to prevent the ingress of foreign
bodies (vertically project beyond the inner wall of the head of the vessel, offset
relative to the head of the vessel, etc,) and permit full draining of the vessel.
Withdrawal from intermediate draw-off trays should be from a sump directly through an
external nozzle. Drawoff piping should have a vertical run immediately after the nozzle.
Minimum vertical run length is 3 meters.
On a vessel that is equipped with an internal float of any kind, each nozzle at the bottom
of the vessel should be protected with a suitable guard designed to prevent a loose float
from lodging over the nozzle opening. A vortex breaker may be modified for this service.
On vertical vessels supported by a skirt, the use of any flanged assembly inside the skirt
should not be permitted.
Vessel nozzles on equipment should be specified according to the following typical
industry guidelines as shown in Table 3.1.2.

€. Vent, Drain, Purge and Isolation Provisions
The following design guidelines are to be taken into consideration
+ Provision for maintenance blinds should be made at all equipment nozzles, The
use of spectacle blinds vs. paddle blinds/spacers is a function of piping size and
flange rating. Blinding points (no permanent facilities) will be used where sufficient
piping flexibility exists to insert paddles/spectacle blinds as required for
maintenance purposes. Blinds and blinding points should be identified on the
PaID's.
+ Provide all the piping spools so that the spectacle flanges can be properly shift
without causing problems on stud bolts, lack of support, etc
+ Safety relief valve nozzles / takeoffs may be located on the vessel, vessel nozzle,

3.1.10 Hold-Up and Surge Times
The following design guidelines are to be taken into consideration:
Hold-up time is defined as the time it takes to reduce the liquid level from normal (NLL) to low
(LLL) while maintaining a normal liquid outlet flow without feed makeup. This hold-up time
must account for the quality of control and reliability of the upstream facilities as well as the
transport means between two facilities.
Surge time is defined as the time it takes for the liquid level to rise from normal (NLL) to high
(HLL) while maintaining normal feed makeup without outlet flow. Surge time provides a
response cushion between inflow and out flow rates, thereby partially insulating each flow
against undesirable effects from disturbances to the other. This surge capacity permits
operating controls to adjust to the change and allows for response at arate least apt to
propagate adverse effects into other sections of the system. In some cases surge time is to
prevent a sudden shutdown of the upstream facilities in the case of a reduction of flow to the
downstream facilities.
The typical industry guidelines for hold-up and surge time provided in Tables 3.1.4 thru 3.1.9
are to be considered:

system drop at normal flow.

‘+ In systems for which the net differential pressure is very high (>35 kg/cm’), review
head contingency with the Lead Process Engineer.
+ For applications with two control valves in series, the primary control valve should
have aminimum pressure drop based on the criteria given above. The secondary
control valve (temperature control valve at inlet to exchanger) should have a minimum
pressure drop that is the greater of:
‘© Atnormal flow rate, 20% of exchanger pressure drop in fouled condition.
© Atnormal flow rate, 0.35 kg/cm’.
+ Head capacity curves that rise continuously to shutoff are preferred for all centrifugal
pumps, and are required for pumps operating in parallel.
‘+ The minimum required capacity should be specified where it is known that the pump
will operate, even for short periods of time, at capacities well below its normal
capacity.
‘+ Where parallel operation is specified, the characteristic curves should be such that the
capacity of each pump should be approximately a constant portion of the total capacity
at all heads from shutoff to 120% of rated capacity
‘+ All pumps should be suitable for operating at the specified operating conditions and at
off-design conditions occurring at plant startup, shutdown, process upset, power
outage, etc. as applicable,
‘+ Pumps charging fractionation systems should be checked for adequate differential
head to maintain a substantial flow rate to the column during upsets when maximum
pressure may approach relief valve setting. The system control valve should be able to
“give up” enough pressure drop to maintain a substantial flow rate to the column
‘+ For boilers, ASME code requires pumping at the relief valve set pressure plus 3%
accumulation.
3.4.4 Suction Pressure
+ Rated suction pressure is the pressure existing at the pump suction with the pump
operating at rated capacity with the liquid level at bottom tangent line.
‘+The maximum pump suction pressure is determined by:
© Relief valve setting plus maximum static head from the suction to the pump
centerline and any additive pressure drop (including trays). Do not take into
account the suction piping line loss.
o For a system unprotected by a relief valve, the shutoff pressure of the upstream
booster pump

3.4.5 Available NPSH
+ NPSH is the minimum net positive suction head available at the pump. The figure is
obtained by subtracting the liquid vapor pressure from the suction pressure (absolute)
at the pump. The result (in kg/om’) is converted to meters of fluid,
* Vapor pressure (kg/cm’a) is determined at normal pumping temperature.

‘+ Pump selection can be affected considerably by NPSH values, therefore, they should
be determined initially as accurately as possible.
+ The NPSHA (NPSH available) to be shown on the pump data sheet must include
adjustments to the actual calculated NPSH as follows: 10% or 1 m, whichever is
greater. For vacuum service (vacuum at pump inlet) or low temperature (below 0°C)
the margin should be at least 2 m.
+ NPSH margin used should be indicated onthe pump data sheet to avoid double
accounting of NPSH margin when the Mechanical Engineer selects the pump.
‘+ Pump available NPSH should be calculated from the bottom tangent line of vertical
suction vessels and the bottom of the vessel for horizontal vessels.
‘+The NPSH required for pumps should be based on water. No hydrocarbon correction
factor should be used.
‘+The economics of increasing suction line size versus adjusting vessel elevation should
be considered in providing sufficient NPSH
‘+ The suction line losses should be based on rated flow capacity of the pump. Pressure
drop through any permanent strainer required should be based on 50% clogging. Use
LID=250 for astrainer and assume the suction nozzle one size smaller than the
suction line size. For this, include a reducer in line loss calculation
‘+ For subcooled liquids, the source pressure should be the minimum normal operating
pressure and the vapor pressure should be at the maximum normal process
temperature. Consideration shall be taken for blanket gas solubility in pumped liquids
when determining the fluid vapor pressure.
‘+ Static head should be measured from the bottom of horizontal drums, from the bottom
tangent line of vertical vessels and columns with bottom drawoffs, and from the bottom.

the lowest specified liquid level in the tank at which rated pump capacity is required.
‘+ Ifa vortex breaker is required, the pressure drop through it should be considered.
+ For horizontal centrifugal pumps, assume the elevation of the pump centerline to be 1
m above grade, unless the actual elevation is known.
* For reciprocating pumps no ac celeration heads hould be included for NPSHA
calculations. This fact should be stated in the datasheet.
3.4.6 Minimum Flow
+ Pumps are typically suitable for continuous operation at a flow of 30% of normal
capacity. If flow conditions necessitate flow for less than 30%, minimum flow
provisions may be required. Some high head pumps require a minimum flow as high
as 45%.

2013 Reciprocating Compressors.
‘+ Rolary compressors should bein accordance with ISO 10440-1:2007 Rotary Type
Positive Displacement Compressors.
‘* If the specified driver for a non-spared Compressor service is as team turbine, it
should comply with NRF-170-PEMEX-2008 Steam Turbine for Special Service.
In addition to the Applicable Standards and P ractices listed above the following general
practices are to be considered
‘+ Reciprocating compressors, unless otherwise specified, should be opposed-balanced
horizontal cylinder design
A. Pressure Variation
+ Pulsation dampeners should be provided for both the suction and discharge of
reciprocating compressors. The pulsation dampers must eliminate harmful and
excessive vibration caused in pipes that connect to compressors.
+ Damping equipment must be pulsation dampers or bottles and made with ASME
stamped
* Contractor or supplier must carry out an interactive acoustic simulation study, of
the entire system, when two or more units are going to operate in parallel.
+ Relief valves should be provided on reciprocating compressors to prevent over
pressuring in the event that the compressor is blocked in while operating. For
reciprocating compressors, the maximum operating pressure is equal to the rated
discharge pressure. A margin should be included for pressure pulsations for design
pressure considerations.
B. Discharge Temperature Li
For reciprocating compressors, the maximum theoretical (predicted) or actual discharge
temperatures should not exceed 150°C. The maximum discharge temperature should not
exceed 135°C for hydrogen rich services (those with a molecular weight of 12 or less).
€. Flow Variation
+ The surge point of a compressor should be less than 60% of the rated capacity of
all operating speeds regardless of type of driver, unless advance surge control is,
provided.

DESIGN CRITERIA Rot
* Unloaders for reciprocating compressors should be electronically operated and
provide for startup and step capacity control. The unloader should have continuous
control (stepless control) to guarantee a smooth operation from the 20% to 100%
of the normal flow rate,
+ Capacity control with bypass or step-less capacity control with a hydraulic power
unit should be considered based on economics.
D. Design Pressure for Centrifugal Compressors
For centrifugal compressors, the design pressure of the compressor discharge should be
at least equal to the specified relief valve setting. If a relief valve setting is not specified,
the design pressure should beat least 1.25 times the maximum specified discharge
pressure (Ref. API RP 617). This is an approximation of the maximum head at low or no
flow to avoid the need for a relief valve. The maximum head of the compressor should be
based on the maximum molecular weight gas anticipated. Maximum driver speed should
also be considered in calculating the maximum head.
E. Process Case Definition
Process compressor specifications should include definitions of all relevant cases, such as
the following conditions (when applicable):
+ Start of run
+ Middle of run
= End of run
+ Regeneration
+ High octane yield
+ Low octane yield
© Purging out
© Start-up
* Shutdown
© Tumdown
F. Miscellaneous
Compressors should be specified to be constructed and tested under the code ASME
Section VIII and should be stamped of the test under ASME code. As far as possible, all
parts should be made and assembled in the factory. All welding should be consistent with
the standards of the American Welding Society. Centrifugal compressors should be
designed with automatic anti surge control system with signal to DCS.
The vendor should provide the antisurge control valves, the antisurge dynamic software, a
dedicated PLC or Board for monitoring and control, required process transmitters if special
requirements to be met, and intercommunication with the plant DCS.

coupled to the compressor. The driver nameplate rating should be 110% of the
greatest power absorbed for any of the specified operating condition, or the power
absorbed at the set point pressure of the discharge relief valves (whichever is greater)
* Centrifugal Fans: For fans in critical services, one machine should be driven by an
electric motor and the spare machine should be driven by a steam turbine in order to
ensure fan operation in the event of a power failure.
+ If centrifugal compressor drivers are specified as steam driven, they should be
designed as special purpose application.
3.5.4 Installation
The installation of reciprocating compressors should include the following elements upstream
of the compressors; if a compressor combines several services, it is understood that the
following applies for each service. The elements are indicated in order of installation,
beginning with the most distant from the compressor. If there is a main compressor and a
standby unit (or two compressors in parallel operation, and one in standby), unless otherwise
specified, a single element of each type should be installed.
* One (1) vertical knockout drum at the suction of the compressor. The KO drum should
be supplied with a sight level indicator, high and low level switches and a high high.
level compressor shutdown. The KO drum should be located as near as possible to
the compressor(s).

acceptable sliding type (slip on). The class of flanges and their rating should be in
accordance with the respective counter flange pipe and the latest edition of ASME B16.5.
‘© For control valves, leaks classification in the seat should be according to ANSI / FCI 70-2
latest edition.
‘+ Noise levels for control vaives should not be greater than 85 db + / - 5 db, measured at a
distance of 1.0 meter downstream of the valve and 1.0 meter from the surface of the pipe.
‘+ For sour fluid services, material selection of the control valve for resisting corrosion by
hydrogen sulfide (H,S), should be done according to NACE MR-0103-2010
5.3. Control Valve Block and Bypass Valves
‘+ Block and bypass valves should be sized by Control Systems but checked by Process.
‘* For gas/vapor or flashing services with high pressure drop across the control valvelby-
pass valve, check the need to swedge up the line downstream of the control and by-pass
valves. This line segment may restrict flow at the lower downstream pressure.
‘+ For control valve block valves and bypass valve. After selection of control valve Cv the
following general sizing criteria should be considered:
© Bypass valve: Cv of bypass valve will be at least the calculated Cv of the control
valve, but not more than twice the selected Cv of the control valve.
© Typically globe valves will be used for bypass valves up to 4 inches (Cv = 200), and
if the bypass valve Cv requirement is >200, use a gate valve with the required Cv.
When gate valves are used as bypass valves, their minimum size will be 2 sizes
Under line size,

DESIGN CRITERIA pret
‘© For bypass globe valves consider the use of guided disc, angle, y-pattern or specialty
choke type globe valves to minimize possibility of bypass valve failure in high pressure
drop or flashing services. For extreme cases consider supplying a bypass valve that is
the same as the control vaive.
‘+ In applications where the pressure drop across the valve is high and flashing is possible,
the sizes of block and bypass will be determined by process calculations. Bypass valves
may need to be oversized for process reasons such as startup (faster filing or emptying a
system) or gravity draining. The Process Engineer should coordinate this activity with the
Control Systems Engineer.
5.4 Level Instruments
© The level symbology used onthe P&ID's to establish control elevation in vessels and
tanks may include any combination of the following:

© The high high and ow low liquid levels and interface levels establish the set points for
level shutdown switches where applicable.
‘+The high and low liquid levels and interface levels establish the range for a continuous
level measuring device (d/p, displacer, etc.) and for level alarm switches,
‘* The normal liquid level and interface level establishes the anticipated operating point.
5.5 Relief Valves
Applicable Standards and Practices
* Relief valves should be in accordance with NRF-031-PEMEX-2011 Flare and B umers
