Purpose
Purpose
This procedure provides a standard process for removal of Flammable or Production Fluids in Vessels(s) in any prior inservice compressor unit.
Procedure
Procedure
This procedure applies to all Flogistix compressor packages that are to be shipped to a Flogistix Service or Manufacturing location. The following steps must be followed
If Compressor is still located on Customer location:
Removal of production fluids from scrubber vessel(s) with customer piping still connected.
If dump piping is still connected to unit and unit can be started: Start up unit and build discharge pressure. Use the Auto Dump system and manually evacuate fluids from the inlet vessel using the integrated blowcase system. If the unit is not equipped with an integrated dump the unit will have to have enough inlet pressure to evacuate the fluids out of the inlet vessel and into the customer’s tanks where production fluids are gathered. If fuel scrubber drain is connected on site, drain it through existing piping.
Removal of production fluids from vessel(s) when all of customer’s piping has been disconnected.
If unit is still on Customers location. With compressor unit disconnected from all customer’s piping, production fluid will have to be removed using either a metal bucket or with a Flogistix Service Truck equipped with an oil evacuation system. If a metal bucket is used, it will need to be bonded to the unit during transfer of fluids.
Removal of production fluids from vessel(s) after unit has been moved from customer’s location or returned to a Flogistix yard.
When compressor unit has been returned to a Flogistix yard, all production fluid will have to be removed using either a metal bucket or with a Flogistix Service Truck with an oil evacuation system. If a metal bucket is used, it will need to be bonded to the unit during transfer of fluids. At the Pampa, TX Manufacturing facility, fluids are to be evacuated using the test loop area evacuation / reclamation system.
