1.04.010 Recip Compressor Driver Installation instructions - Field Service Use

This Policy is under development and not completed for information regarding this policy contact Area Manager, Director of Field Service or Flogistix Engineering.

Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to establish the minimum requirements for reinstalling the Recip Compressor driver after replacement of the driver on either gas engine drive or electric drive recip compressor packages. This applies to all Flogistix recip compressor packages equipped with either a gas engine or an electric motor driving a recip compressor.

Procedure

This procedure applies to all units that are in currently in service in the field, at a repair shop, and in storage yards. Flogistix Service Technicians will perform the procedure of reinstalling the compressor driver and proper assembly of the compressor coupling after the compressor driver has been set in-place.

Before any work is performed a JSA must be completed according to Flogistix procedure along with any customer requirements before any work is started.

Before any work is performed on the compressor make sure all pressure has been relieved from compressor and process piping on skid. Proper LOTO procedure must be done on compressor unit.

Setting the Gas Engine on the engine base.

Before the gas engine or the electric motor is installed the Compressor must be fully installed on base, soft-foot corrected, and torqued to specifications before engine or electric motor is reinstalled

Driver Installation:

1. Bolt coupling assembly to driver flywheel using grade 8 bolts with lock washers, tightened according to torque specifications on drawings

2. Set engine or motor while hanging from crane above fabricated driver base and adjust driver position without coupling attached to flywyeel touching the compressor coupling hub.

3. Locate driver onto skid taking care to avoid damaging the shim packs of the coupling as the engine is moved into position

4. Adjust driver position gradually, and adjust elevation upwards or downwards as needed to align coupling bolts hole to coupling shim pack.. Driver may need rotated to help with coupling bolt hole alignment.

5. Position driver accurately enough to insert coupling bolts from hub to shim pack by hand without driving or otherwise forcing bolts through shim pack. Do not bend or otherwise damage shim packs.

6. Once coupling bolts are positioned all the way through the shim pack make sure the shoulder of the bolt is all the way through the coupling ship pack.

7. Install thick washer on coupling bolt shoulder and install each self locking nut on the coupling bolt

8. Tighten coupling hardware according to specification in coupling manual

9. Install alignment shims under engine or motor feet to allow for “rough alignment” of coupling.

a. Bar engine with appropriate engine barring tool to rotate and position with any flywheel bolt at top dead center of bellhousing, then mark the bolt head and flywheel housing for visual position reference. Mark 3 other flywheel bolts, at each 90 degree increment

b. Install dial indicator fixture to driver flywheel for measurement of both rim of compressor hub and face of compressor hub (angular measurement and radial measurement) as outlined in procedure 1.4.12 Dial Indicator set up on Recip Compressor coupling instructions

c. Perform final alignment achieving angular and radial misalignment values of 0.005” or less in all directions with zero thrust influence.

8. Confirm driver foot bolts are torqued to spec and take a final alignment measurement to verify tolerances are achieved before removing dial indicators and proceeding with reconnecting remaining engine or motor accessories.

Responsibilities

Management - Management is responsible for implementing, supporting, and enforcing the requirements of this procedure to their respective locations/area.

EHSS - Responsible to assist in the implementation of this procedure and to review for effectiveness.

Employees, Contractors, Vendors, ETC. - Are responsible to follow the follow the requirements outlined in this procedure and ask for assistance

Scope

This procedure applies to all recip compressor units driven with either a Gas engine or electric motor and is applicable to all Flogistix employees, contractors, and temporary employees.

Hazards

Employees should be aware that units could contain flammable and toxic gasses. Potential for the possible hazards of gas ignition or fire, hot surfaces & fluids, rotating equipment. Risk of possible concentration of H2S. Hazardous gases could be in the units pressure vessels, cooler, or associated piping and risk of inhalation of hazardous gas fumes. Environmental spill of compressor oil and possible production fluids

Safety

All Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for normal Field Mechanical duties apply for this procedure. Four Gas Monitor, which is outlined in the Flogistix EHSS Manual, PPE Section 8, Procedure 8.3 This procedure applies to all units in service in the field, at a service shop, or in any storage yard.

Insure Flogistix personnel have proper safety certification as required by the Flogistix Customer.

Insure Flogistix personnel adhere to all Customers safety practices.

Proper use of required tools

Spills and Disposal

All spills shall be handled immediately according to MSDS recommendations and the employee's level of training

Flogistix Service Technicians performing task will properly dispose of any waste liquids or solids. Disposal of any fluids or solid waste will be disposed of properly according to Flogistix policy. Disposal of any fluids will be done at an approved or designed waste location. Disposal of solid waste from a compressor poppet change such as, oily rags, ETC, will be disposed according to the local regulations regarding the disposal of oil soaked rags.

Training

All employees shall be initially trained on the following topics:

• Employee Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• MSDS Online System

• Emergency and First Aid procedures

• Methods and Observations that may be used to detect the presence or release of a hazardous chemicals or gas in the work place

Tools & Equipment Required

All employees performing the replacement of either the gas engine or electric motor shall be required to have the listed tools to perform job tasks:

• All required PPE according to Flogistix Safety Policy

• Assorted end wrenches up to 1 1/16"

• 1/2" Torque wrench

• D

• O

• a
