MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE
INTRODUCTION:
A process industry is subjected to continuous modifications to achieve higher efficiency, improve operability and safety, improve reliability, improvement of the plant machineries and equipment and to accommodate technical changes.
ONGC Hazira Plant is a sour gas processing complex sprawling over 700 hectares and is built with the state of Art technology at a cost of Rs 1300 crores.The sour gas and associated condensate from South Bassein are brought to Hazira Plant by sub sea pipelines. The gas and condensate are treated to produce various products like LPG, NGL, Sweet Gas, SKO, ARN and Heavy cuts. Besides we have captive power plant designed to generate 57.6 MW power through 3 gas turbine generators which caters to the need of the plant and colony and the exhaust of the turbines are used for steam generation. There are specialized treatment units to treat different types of effluents in the plant as required by regulatory authorities.
Any changes in the processing units/facilities in the Hazira Plant may have the potential to introduce new hazards. That is why the hazards connected with any change are to be identified and controlled efficiently through an appropriate hazard assessment and mitigation system.

LIST OF MINOR MODIFICATIONS MADE
A. GAS SWEETENING AND GAS DEHYDRATION UNITS :
1. Automatic pressurisation of Regenerator of GSU train 31 with fuel gas:
The system was installed in Feb’2000. Schematic diagram is placed at Sl. No. 1
2. Modification in fuel gas header of MP flash drums in GSU-I trains:
Fuel gas lines from MP flash drums of trains 31, 32 and 33 have been augmented by laying an additional 2” header. This is to avoid back pressure on MP flash drums and subsequent flaring. The schematic diagram is placed at Sl No. 2
3. Modification for minimum flow for MDEA injection pump in GSU I and II:
A minimum flow provision to the MDEA injection pumps of GSP Ph-I and II has been made through 4” of control valve. The schematic diagram is placed at Sl. No. 3.
4. Sweet gas pressurising to GSU trains of Phase-I and II.
One 4” sweet gas line from DPD outlet (at tap-off point for fuel gas to co-gen) has been laid down joining GSU inlet of Ph-I and II. This is for pressurising and leak test of the trains. Schematic diagram is placed at Sl. No.4.
5. Paralleling of Amine Coolers E302A/B of GSU Phase-I and II trains:-
Modification carried out in Sept”2001.Cooling water line to Amine coolers (E 302A/B) has been modified for operation in parallel as well. This enhances the heat duty.
Schematic diagram is placed at serial no 5.
6. Rerouting in fuel gas system of GSU/GDU of Phase-I and II trains through suction KOD of vapour compressor:
Commissioned in June’2001.Fuel gas generated in GSU trains were routed through KODs installed in GSU trains of Phase-I and II which were of very small capacity (0.65M3). The fuel gas generated in GDU trains was directly joining the fuel gas header from degasser itself. Because of smaller capacity of KODs/direct routing of fuel gas from GDU trains, heavy carryover of liquid was observed whenever there was any operational upsets in either GSU of GDU trains. The total fuel gas header used to get filed up with liquid and affecting downstream consumers of fuel gas like KRU, boilers and incinerator. Due to carry over problem these units sometimes had to be shutdown.
In order to avoid recurrence of the above problem, it was thought of installing higher capacity KODs in the fuel gas streams of Ph-I and II.. The vapour compressor system installed along with GSU trains of Phase-I and II trains are not in operation since last 10 years. Each train is having two numbers of KODs installed at the 1st and 2nd stage suction of vapour compressor. They are designed for 7.5 Kg/Cm2 and 1430C, which are suitable for fuel gas system. Also there are 26.5 M3 capacity which is much higher than existing KOD.
Suitable modifications in fuel gas system have been done by rerouting the fuel gas from Ph-I GSU trains through V306 of train 33. Similarly the fuel gas from GDU trains of Ph-I are routed through V305 of train-33. The out let of these two vessels are combined before it joins the common fuel gas header. In addition the liquid out let of V305 is connected to pure TEG header to recover TEG. Provision exists in V306 for recovery of MDEA. The vessels contain PT, LT, LG, level switches for high and low to monitor the operating parameters. The vessels are having two numbers each of safety valves set at 7 Kg/cm2.
On the same lines, the fuel gas system of Phase-II also modified through the vessels V305 and V306 of train 34.
The modified drawings is enclosed at serial nos. 6 and 7..
7. Modification in Fuel Gas Header:
The fuel gas generated from MP flash drums of GSP units are connected to main 10” FG header. The supply header from GSP Ph-II, III and IIIA are of 2” size.since the 2” header could not handle the total fuel gas, redundant 4” boiler feedwater header is used as an additional header from GSP Ph-II, III and IIIA to the main FG header behind LPG recovery unit. The necessary modifications were done and the header was commissioned in May, 2002.
The relevant drawing is enclosed at sl no 8.
8. Relocation of
LV1116 of GDU trains 46 and 47 of Phase-IIIA were relocated, away from feed nozzle to regenerator. This is for avoiding flashing near feed-nozzle, which may cause liquid carry over.
The relevant drawing is placed at serial no 9.
9. Modification in H.P. Glycol Absorber of GDU-IIIA.
Gas feed nozzle was modified by re-orienting the nozzle towards downcomer of 1st tray of absorber. The top bubble cap tray has been made dry. This modification has been done to minimise glycol loss.
The schematic diagram is placed at serial no 10.
10. Modification of 31 LV112:
31LV112 has been modified to take care of high pressure drop by replacing it with 71LV106 in June’2000.
11. Primary reduction valves (PV1101) at GSU inlet of trains 31, 32 and 33 which were of smaller size (6”) has been replaced with 12” size. This helped in reducing pressure drop. Earlier 6” size were suitable for high pressure case where pressure drop envisaged was 18 Kg/cm2. High pressure conditions were never operated so far.
B. DEW POINT DEPRESSION UNITS :
1. Modification of Propane Make Up line:
This modification was carried out in 51 and 52 trains to carry out the propane make-up to Gas Chiller (E-502). This helped in reducing the make up time due to larger differential pressure available between Propane storage and chiller. This helped in avoiding the operation of Propane transfer pump. The possibility for flaring of propane from accumulator where propane make up was being taken earlier was also avoided.
Process flow diagram is placed opposite at serial no 11.
2. Modification for By-pass of DPD Ph-I and II and DPD gas to Cogen Plant :
One 12”, 600 # bypass line to DPD Ph-I and II was installed with 8” butterfly pressure control valve. These modifications were carried out to supply of gas to HBJ line temporarily during shut down of DPD-I and II. However, high hydrocarbon dew point has to be taken care of by M/s.GAIL during this period.
The PFD is enclosed at serial no 12.
3. Supply of DPD outlet gas to Local Consumers/IPCL:
A facility to supply DPD outlet gas to local consumers (now IPCL, Dahej) has been created as a make up to lean gas.
The schematic diagram is placed at serial no 13.
C. CONDENSATE FRACTIONATION UNITS :
1. Condensate of Flare Knock out to NGL tank :
The condensate of Flare Knock out drum of CFU is originally routed to SLOP tank in offsite area. This condensate was found suitable for storing in NGL tank. An interconnection between SLOP tank line and NGL line headers was made near caustic wash unit. This facilitates the storing and despatch of condensate as NGL.
2. Modification in Trains 72 and 76 :
Modifications have been carried out for recycle of Hydrocarbon liquid from off gas suction KOD of CFU trains 72 and 76 to LPG column C-702 for recovery of value added products. The modification of Tr-72 was carried out in Oct’2001 and Tr-76 In Oct’2002.
The brief is as below:
Sour condensate from offshore is processed in CFU trains for stripping of the H2S and then fractionate the same to recover LPG and NGL. This stripped off gas known as CFU off gas passes through a suction KOD (V703) where most of the condensable hydrocarbon gases are knocked out in the form of liquid. The off-gas from condensable vapours is then compressed and routed to GSU. The liquid hydrocarbon condensate accumulated in the suction KOD used to be flared for want of suitable recovery system.
To recover the KOD condensate, a 2” dia and about 30M line was laid from the bottom drain line of the KOD. This line joins the feed line to LPG column from stripper reboiler at the downstream of the control valve FV1202 adjacent to the sampling point. An SDV, operable from the main control room was installed on the line nearer to the KOD.
The above modification thus enabled recovery of the suction KOD liquid in the LPG column and reduction of flaring from CFU.
Relevant sketch is placed at serial no 14.
E. SULFUR RECOVERY UNITS :
1. Inverted U-
2. Arrangement of Sump basket at the common suction of the Slurry Pumps to avoid damage to the rotary equipment.
3. Modification of Locat Return Line. The schematic for the above three is placed at sl no. 15.
4. Integration of Melters and Separators :
Integration of Melters and Separators – This facilitates the flow of slurry from any of the oxidizer to any of the melter and separator of the unit. However, this is being practiced in Ph-I trains separately and Ph-II, III trains separately due to high pressure drop and chances of line choking. The schematic is placed at sl no 16.
5. Integration of Surge Drums :
The Surge Drums of all trains are integrated. This facilitates the storage of molten sulfur produced from any of the trains, into any of the surge drums. Normally molten sulfur produced from all Ph- I trains is stored in one surge drum (61/62/63 V604) and from Ph- II & III trains in another surge drum (64/65/66 V604). The schematic is at sl no 17.
6. A horizontal centrifugal pump was installed outside the surge drum of train 61 for transferring the molten sulphur inside the surge drum to palletising unit. The earlier vertical pump inside the drum was non-operational and difficult to maintain/repair.
7. Modification for Venting off SRU sump gas:
Modification for venting off SRU sump gas – The vent gas of SRU underground sump has been connected to flare through flare KOD of DPD – I. This is done to reduce back pressure on sump so as to release the vent gas. This facilitates smooth draining of Acid Gas KODs. The schematic is placed at sl no 18.
8 MP steam supply to SRU:
MP steam supply to SRU – Provision for supply of steam to SRU from MP steam Header has been made in case LP steam from LP steam header is not available. Schematic is at sl no 19.
