IN THE NAME OF GOD

FOREWORD
By their very nature, technical Specifications are continuously subject to modifications and
revisions. To strengthen their merit and usefulness, continuous improvements, addendum,
deletion of disparate information and consequently provision of updated revisions are to be
made in order to ascertain that such Specifications meet the current requirements, inclusive of
Iranian Petroleum Standards (IPS) and the recognized and acceptable national and
international Standards, as well as the optimal codes and practices based on the accumulated
in-house know-how and plant knowledge and experiences. However, in reality, due to several
reasons, not to mention the complexity of the matter, the ultimate goal of continuous direct
embedment of the required changes on the relevant Specifications may be far reaching.
Therefore, in the interim periods between the officially issued revisions, the required changes
will appear in other documents related to the engineering and design work of the on going
projects.
In response to the initiative of the Design and Engineering Directorate, and considering that
the task of the execution of several important and mega projects for the realization of the new
oil refineries, pipelines and oil terminals as well as improvements of the existing facilities,
has been assigned to NIOEC, it was decided to update the NIOEC Specifications and to issue
new official revisions.
The Design and Engineering Directorate was itself entrusted to carry out this important task,
and as such by forming several special technical committees, working in close co-operation
and cohesion and sharing their expertise and knowledge, the updated and revised NIOEC
Specifications were successfully prepared and complied.
These Specifications are intended to be used for Oil Refineries, Distribution Depots, Oil
Terminals, Pipelines and Pump Stations within NIOEC's projects, and have been proven to
be of high value for such purposes. It must however be appreciated that these Specifications
represent the minimum requirements and should in no way be interpreted as a restriction on
the use of better procedures, engineering and design practices or materials.
We encourage and highly appreciate the users and other clear sighted and experts to send
their comments on the Specifications to the Design and Engineering Director of NIOEC for
evaluation and approval.

6.2. Spent Caustic Treatment and Regeneration (Addition)

The requirement of caustic regeneration system shall be studied by Contractor and agreed by
NIOEC.

7. CHEMICAL INJECTION SYSTEMS (Addition)

A variety of methods are used for injecting chemicals into process systems. The most common
type of equipment comprises a suitable mixing or dilution tank with an agitator for preparation of
the solution. The injection pump takes suction directly from the tank and feeds the injection
chemical into the process stream. Variable capacity proportioning pumps are usually specified. If
several injection points have to be supplied simultaneously with the same chemical a multi-headed
pump may be used, each head having a variable capacity which may be reset automatically or
manually.

7.1. Dosing Facilities (All Systems) (Addition)

Local bulk chemical storage tanks should be sized on the basis of:
a) Chemical consumption rates.
b) Chemical availability, economical load size and delivery frequency.
Consideration shall be given to provision of containing bunds or other means of spill
containment. This is particularly the case if the chemicals concerned are corrosive (e.g. acid)
or toxic (e.g. biocides).
Chemical dosing pumps shall be provided with simple on-line delivery rate adjustment.
Safety showers of an approved pattern with eyewash facilities shall be readily accessible
from, or specifically provided at, each chemical dosing preparation area.
Safety showers of an approved pattern with eyewash facilities shall be readily accessible
from, or specifically provided at, each chemical dosing preparation area.
Where chlorine is dosed from a liquid gas unit, additional strict safety procedures shall be
established. Automatic leak detectors and alarms shall be provided where there is a risk of
leakage of chlorine gas (e.g. storage room and/or gas supply pipe work to chlorinator).
Emergency self-contained breathing apparatus shall be readily available.
Since, many of the dosing chemicals contain components which may significantly affect site
effluent discharge permits if spills occur. Adequate facilities for containment of spills shall be
provided.
 June, 2015 NIOEC-SP-00-85(2)

7.2. Miscellaneous feeders (Modification)

a) Chlorine feeders (Chlorinator) (Substitution)
Several proprietary units for dosing chlorine are available from specialist vendors. The
most common type, for chlorine gas is the V-notch chlorinator, which is supplied with
liquid chlorine from a cylinder or drum. Essential components include drum handling
equipment, chlorine leak detectors and alarms and a water spray system which is
commissioned automatically in the event of a leak being detected. The dosing equipment
consists essentially of a chlorine vaporizer and regulating system for preparing a strong
chlorine solution which is fed into the main stream using a suitable distributor. The
equipment is installed in a weather-proof housing. The water jet eductor uses the kinetic
energy of water under pressure to entrain chlorine gas, mix the two and discharge mixture
to water in flow line or in a treating basin. Chlorine shall not flow if a vacuum is not
produced. If hypochlorite solutions are to be used, pumps and shot feeders can be used.

select lining materials upon taking into account that this system suffer cold temperature
in transportation and site storage during construction stage.
7.6.1.6. The overall design shall recognise that where the package contains dosing facilities for
more than one chemical and where the chemicals require dilution there is a possibility of
contamination of one chemical by another and that spillage/leakage of one chemical
could affect the facilities of another. The design therefore, shall minimise the potential for
contamination etc. and recognise that there may be a high level of operator involvement
in the operation of the dosing facilities.

pour point or crystallisation point) at the specified minimum ambient temperature, the
tank shall be lagged and either heat-traced or fitted with an immersion heater. The
pipework and instrumentation shall be heat traced and insulated. Heating design shall
not exceed a surface contact temperature that may cause thermal degradation of the
treatment chemical.
7.6.1.11. Special considerations should be made for certain operating environments, e.g. ambient
temperatures or black body temperatures in hot climates can reach in excess of 80 °C
which may over time, together with strong sunlight, affect non metallic components and
chemical stability. The need for additional precautions should be considered for pump
electric motors. The Principal's Production Chemistry department shall be contacted to
determine any specific chemical requirements. In these circumstances chemical storage
tanks shall be provided with appropriate protection from direct sunlight and excessive
heat build-up.

CHEMICAL INJECTION SYSTEMS

9
 Aug. 2006 IPS-E-PR-492(1)

7. CHEMICAL INJECTION SYSTEMS

7.1 Definition of Terms

For definition of terms herein used, reference is made to Clause 3.

7.2 Chemical Feed Systems-General

7.2.1 Chemical feed systems shall be designed to ensure high reliability and have flexibility enough
to cover contingencies that might arise. The required volume of chemical as well as its physical and
characteristics should also be considered in the feed system design.

7.2.2 Feed concepts

The method by which a chemical is added shall be suited to both its intended use and the system
into which the product is being added. Feeding mechanisms should be categorized to: intermittent
feed, slug feed, continuous feed, and shock feed:

a) Intermittent feed

Intermittent feed is on/off feed, over an extended time span, with chemicals added at fixed
intervals to a threshold level of treatment.

b) Slug feed

Slug feed involves the addition of chemical in excess of the amount required to produce a
desired concentration after a specific time interval. As make-up is added to compensate for
system losses over a period of time, the residual is gradually lowered to an unacceptable
level, therefore requiring another slug.

c) Continuous feed

Continuous feed is the method most commonly encountered. It may be manual, providing a
constant rate of chemical addition, or it might be automatic, the feed rate being
automatically adjusted in response to some measured variable such a pH or flow rate.
Feeders which cycle on and off over short time spans shall also be considered continuous.

d) Shock or shot feed

Shock feed is a specialized form of slug feed as applied to the introduction of micro-
biocides to recirculating cooling system. Shock feed is utilized to provide maximum benefit
from the "kill" effect on microbiological growths afforded by a high level of treatment.

7.2.3 Chemical feeders

Chemicals used in chemical injection system are added by means of devices called chemical
feeders. These feeders are classified as, wet feeders, dry feeders, and gas feeders:

a) Wet feeders are designed to feed solutions only, or solutions and suspensions.

b) Chemicals in solid form are fed with dry feeders and gases with gas feeders.

7.2.3.1 Important design notes on some of chemical feeders are as bellow:

a) Water-jet eductor

Application of water jet eductors is limited by the amount of lift or suction necessary, by
available motive pressure and by discharge pressure. Generally, a ratio of at least 3.5 : 1
for motive and discharge pressure is necessary.

10
 Aug. 2006 IPS-E-PR-492(1)

b) Positive displacement pump

1) The pump shall be protected by a relief valve in the discharge piping or with an
internal relief mechanism.

2) One pump or pumping head shall be used for each point of application, because
it is impossible to throttle discharge from one pump so that several points will
receive a controlled amount of treatment.

c) Dry feeders

Dry feeders shall be used in larger plants where quantities of chemicals to be added to a
system exceed approximately 4.5 kg/h.

7.2.4 Chemical feed equipment used in water treatment

7.2.4.1 Most cooling water and boiler water treatment products are liquids or solutions prepared
from powders. The pump is therefore the most frequently encountered feed device. Different feed
equipment is briefly mentioned in the following:

7.2.4.2 Metering pump

See Clause 7.5 hereinafter.

7.2.4.3 Shot feeders

The shot feeder typically shown in Fig. 1 consist of a pressure-rated chemical tank installed across
a pressure differential such as the feedwater or circulation pump.

TYPICAL SHOT FEEDER INSTALLATION

Fig. 1

7.2.4.4 Miscellaneous feeders

a) By-pass feeders

Treatment chemicals which dissolve slowly, or are made in special briquette form can be
added, using the bypass feeder, typically shown in Fig. 2.

11
 Aug. 2006 IPS-E-PR-492(1)

TYPICAL BY-PASS FEEDER

Fig. 2

b) Chlorine feeders (chlorinator)

The water jet eductor uses the kinetic energy of water under pressure to entrain chlorine
gas, mix the two and discharge mixture to water in flow line or in a treating basin. Chlorine
shall not flow if a vacuum is not produced. If hypochlorite solutions are to be used, pumps
and shot feeders can be used.

c) Acid/Alkali feeding

Acids and alkalis require suitable feed mechanisms and control. Acid feed is recommended
to regulate automatically by a pH controller. The following safeguards shall commonly be
considered:

1) Day tanks-feeding from a day tank in lieu of a bulk tank limits the total volume
which might enter the system in the event of an accident.

2) Dilution-acid is frequently diluted to improve mixing and pH control. Alarms

indicating loss of dilution flow should be considered to stop further acid flow, if
necessary.

3) Safeguard-the pH sensing element should be provided with a no-flow switch in

the sample line to indicate if sample flow is lost. Duration timers should also be
used to provide the alarm if acid is fed for an unusually long period of time.

7.2.5 Accessories

7.2.5.1 Injection nozzles

Specialized nozzles should often be needed when injecting chemicals into the pipeline. Fig. 3
shows typically a nozzle for adding liquid chemicals into a steam line or other gaseous stream. This
nozzle mechanically atomizes the liquid by force of the gas.

TYPICAL NOZZLE FOR INJECTING LIQUID CHEMICALS INTO A GASEOUS STREAM

Fig. 3

7.2.5.2 Mixers

a) An agitator or mixer should be used whenever a powdered chemical shall be dissolved or

if a heavy or viscous liquid product is to be diluted.

b) The mixer should not be run continuously except for slurries.

c) Dissolving polymers and other viscous materials requires a larger propeller and slower
speed.

d) Direct injection of air or steam is satisfactory for dissolving chemicals.

7.2.5.3 Level alarm

a) A level alarm should be installed on a feed tank when chemical feed shall not be
interrupted or when the pump will be damaged if it runs dry.

b) Chemical feed tanks usually use an electrode-type level control operating on the
conductivity of the chemical solution.

c) Level control package will automatically perform a variety of functions, such as shutdown
of a chemical feed pump and alarm at low level, energizing a pump or opening a valve at
low level to fill the tank and alarm at high level.

7.2.6 Chemical additive feeding systems

Figs. 4 & 5 are presented to show typical feeding system in boiler water treatment & corrosion
inhibitor, respectively.

Notes:
Important Factors for slipstream inhibitor feeding:
1) Slipstream line must be large enough for structural strength, yet not so large as to keep fluid from
filling it and entering overhead vapor line under pressure. Recommended size is DN 20 to DN 25.
2) A Rotameter is important so that being sure that the inhibitor is flowing through the line and is
thoroughly mixed.

The following requirements should be considered in the design of metering pumps that are used in
chemical injection systems.

7.5.2 Installation

7.5.2.1 All factors and considerations of sound hydraulic practice, including freedom from air and
foreign matter, accurate and reliable seating of valves, proper size and length of piping, liquid vapor
pressure, viscosity, and temperature shall be considered for successful metering pump installation.

7.5.2.2 The application of basic hydraulic principles during planning, installation (as shown in Fig. 7)
and operation is essential.

7.5.2.3 The installation should be made with careful attention to all instructions regarding handling
of corrosive, toxic or hazardous chemicals to assure personnel safety.

7.5.2.4 Location

The preferred location of metering pump is indoors, although pumps can be installed outdoors.
Manufacturer’s recommendations for ambient operating temperatures shall be followed.

7.5.2.5 All pumps used outdoors where temperature can fall below 0°C should be provided with a

20
 Aug. 2006 IPS-E-PR-492(1)

sand, dust or other possible contamination.

7.5.2.6 All pump installations should allow sufficient room all around for operator access for
adjustments or servicing.

would damage the pump.

- The pump foundation shall have sufficient height to accommodate system piping.

TYPICAL PUMP, TANK, AND PIPING ARRANGEMENT

Fig. 7

7.5.2.7 Installation tips

a) A strainer should be employed to prevent foreign matter or undissolved lumps of

chemicals from entering the pump that may interfere with check valve operation.

b) Strategically located shutoff and check valves should be incorporated to permit servicing
the pump without draining the entire system.

c) Drain valves should be installed at the lowest point in the discharge line.

d) If the pump is not provided with check valves that are removable without disconnecting
the piping, unions shall be installed near the pump suction and discharge valves to facilitate
removal of the pump head.

e) Suction and discharge piping runs should be as straight and short as possible.

21
 Aug. 2006 IPS-E-PR-492(1)

f) Piping should be sloped, if necessary, to eliminate vapor pockets.

g) A manual vent on the pump discharge line is desirable to facilitate removal of entrapped
air particularly during pump start-up.

h) Shutoff valve shall not be placed between the pump discharge and the system relief
valve; to do so would make the relief valve ineffective.

i) A nipple or pipe shall not be welded to valve bodies without first removing from pump
head. If pipe is welded, be sure to use flanges near valve bodies for easy disassembly.

7.5.3 Suction line

The suction line is a critical part of the system. To assure proper operation of the metering pump,
the following recommendations should be followed:

7.5.3.1 Keep suction lines short; locate the pump as close to the chemical supply tank as possible.

7.5.3.2 Locate both pump and tank as close to the application point as possible, long lines may
require large-diameter pipe.

7.5.3.3 If possible, locate the pump and chemical supply tank so that high-positive suction does not
coexist with low discharge pressure, as liquid will siphon through the pump.

7.5.3.4 Long lines may result in poor performance, notably under feeding, non-linearity, noisy
operation, and vibration of the piping.

7.5.3.5 When a number of individual pumps are connected to a common supply, the suction line
and/or header shall be sized to accommodate the total flow required by all pumps running
simultaneously.

7.5.3.6 A pump calibration column should be installed in the suction line, suitably valved to shut off
flow from the supply tank. The calibration column should provide sufficient volume for at least a 30-
second test run.

7.5.3.7 To minimize problems inherent in long suction lines, a day tank or an accumulator may be
located close to the pump. Installation of an accumulator at the pump suction can act as a day tank.
Essentially, the flow will be continuous in the long line between the supply tank and the accumulator
and discontinuous between the accumulator and the pump.

In installations where a suction line of over 10 m in length is needed, and use of a day tank is
impractical, a suction accumulator shall be installed. The accumulator should be installed close to
the suction connection, within 0.3 m if possible.

7.5.3.8 Suction pressure

The pump selected shall be capable of operating against a specified pressure, and it shall supply
the pump with liquid at a certain minimum suction pressure (NPSH).

7.5.4 Relief valve

7.5.4.1 A process line relief valve is required for chemical injection system protection and should
always be installed in the discharge line close to the pump. This valve will protect the line from
damage due to plugging or accidental valve closure.

7.5.4.2 It is recommended to pipe relief valve discharge back to the supply tank above the fill level
(refer to Fig. 8).

Fig. 8

7.5.4.3 If the distance and/or cost of the relief valve return line preclude its being piped to the tank,
this line may be piped into the pump suction.

7.5.4.4 The relief valve, whether in the hydraulic fluid line or process line, should be set for a
pressure 10-20% higher than the operating pressure of the system.

7.5.5 Back pressure

7.5.5.1 All reciprocating metering pumps require some amount of positive system pressure or back
pressure to assure accurate metering. This required pressure prevents overfeed from the internal
force of the suction line liquid due to the hydraulic characteristic of the pump design.

7.5.5.2 Adjustable in-line or non-adjustable internal pump-mounted back pressure valves shall be
provided for this supplementary pressure.

7.5.5.3 A back pressure valve should not be used to prevent a positive liquid level from draining or
siphoning through the pump to an atmospheric discharge.

7.5.5.4 A back-pressure valve shall not be used to prevent the siphoning of fluid into a below-grade
normally pressurized main that has been depressurized. The sole purpose of the back-pressure
valve should be to assure accuracy of pump delivery.

7.5.5.5 Most back-pressure valves cannot be used in a line handling slurry. The pump manufacturer
shall be consulted for appropriate back-pressure valves.

7.5.5.6 Pressure loss created by long discharge lines shall not be considered as required back
pressure. Similarly, a throttling valve or other fixed orifice will not be usable.

7.5.5.7 In order to overcome inertial pressure in the lines to and from the pump, a minimum of 207
kPa (ga), and/or [2.07 bar (ga)] back pressure shall be required.

7.5.6 Siphoning

7.5.6.1 Static siphoning may occur in situations where suction pressure is high relative to discharge
pressure (typically when pumping into open tanks).

7.5.6.2 An antisiphon device is required in any chemical injection system that has a positive suction

23
 Aug. 2006 IPS-E-PR-492(1)

head in excess of the pressure at the discharge of the system. Without such a device, flow will pass
from the tank through the pump to the end of the pipe.

7.5.6.3 Antisiphon valves are usually spring-loaded valves whose long term reliability depends upon
frequency of operation. In failure of an antisiphon valve, the system may be subject to overfeed or
uncontrolled flow.

7.5.6.4 The pump back-pressure valve shall not be used as an antisiphon valve. A separate
antisiphon device shall be installed and shall provide a greater capability than the system differential
between supply tank and discharge point.

7.5.6.5 Drainage shall be prevented by locating the antisiphon device at the end of discharge line.

7.5.6.6 Antisiphon set pressure value shall be equal with the static pressure in the discharge system
as "seen" by the pump.

7.5.6.7 It is strongly recommended that in place of a mechanical valve, a vented riser be used in a
manner as shown in Fig. 9.

GUIDELINES FOR PROPER VENTING

7.5.7 Slurries

7.5.7.1 Pump selection

a) High speed pump shall be selected for slurries. The higher liquid velocities aid in
maintaining a slurry suspension.

b) For fast settling materials, such as slaked lime, speeds less than 2.4 strokes per second
should be avoided. For slurries such as hydrated lime, speeds down to 1.6 strokes per
second may be used.

7.5.7.2 Piping system layout

a) Consideration should be given to the piping layout of slurry materials in chemical

injection system, to avoid slurry settling out.

24
 Aug. 2006 IPS-E-PR-492(1)

b) Vertical runs shall be minimized in slurry systems.

c) Any 90-degree direction changes should be accomplished by using plugged tees or

crosses. These fittings permit prodding out deposits and also provide temporary flushing
connections.

d) If deposits are likely (that is, calcium carbonate scaling from lime slurries), flexible plastic
tubing or rubber hose should be used rather than rigid pipe. Normal flexing from pump
pulsations will dislodge scale. A flexible discharge line also allows long radius bends and
direction changes with few fittings.

e) If the water used for slaking the lime is softened, flanged steel pipe may be used.

7.5.7.3 Valves

a) A relief valve shall be used to protect the pump against dead ending or from severe plugs
in long, vertical runs.

b) To prevent siphoning, the slurry shall be pumped to an elevated atmospheric break, from
which it flows to the application point by gravity.

7.5.7.4 Flushing

a) As settling during shutdowns is unavoidable, a flushing connection should be provided

between the chemical feed tank and the suction check valve.

b) The flushing systems can be manual or automatic. If automatic a timed sequence

flushing cycle will be established and consequent plugging will be materially reduced.
