SCOPE
This document contains guidelines for the application of instrumentation engineering standards, practices and design philosophy of instruments and control systems. Range of application includes new installations as well as replacements, repairs or modifications of existing installations. It is intended to ensure consistent good engineering practice, optimum operating conditions, a safe environment and that equipment and plants conform to the latest quality control and quality assurance standards.

GENERAL
These guidelines are to be complemented by any other applicable specification, as outlined in paragraph 3. The instrumentation and control systems shall be kept as simple as possible with a minimum number of components and incorporate latest field proven technological advances to ensure measurements with high accuracy, advanced control systems for the specified application and an efficient final control element with the required characteristics and rangeability. The operational philosophy is to control the entire plant from one central control room with minimum operator intervention. Hence all necessary and sufficient process measurements, control loops and protection system facilities shall be provided to operate the plant safely and efficiently at optimum design capacities and product specifications. Satellite control centres shall be provided to operate onshore or offshore water injection units, compression plants, water treatment plants, oil or gas gathering stations, loading or unloading facilities, compressors, electrical substations, etc. These satellite control centres shall be equipped with redundant remote transmission systems and communicate with the central control room mentioned in the previous paragraph. All necessary process measurement information shall be available to the operator in the central control room in order to enable him to monitor remotely and take appropriate actions in the event of any equipment malfunction and/or process deviation. Local control panels shall be provided as necessary. However these systems shall be designed so that all necessary process measurement information is also available in the central control room to enable the operator to take appropriate actions, as previously mentioned.

CODES, STANDARDS AND PRACTICES

The requirements in the latest editions of the following documents shall be explicitly complied to in all phases from initial design through to final

INSTRUMENT SIGNAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

All signal transmission to and from local panels or the control room shall be electrical with electric to pneumatic convertors to operate only pneumatic final control elements. Pneumatic transmitters shall be used where absolutely necessary and if their use is unavoidable. No process fluid except for instrument air shall enter local panels or control rooms. The signal system shall be as follows: 4 to 20 mA D.C. Digital communications standard in accordance with ISA SP50 Committee Milivolts (from thermocouples) Pulses (0 10 KHz minimum range) Others as requiered by propietary control systems manufacturer with PDVSA Engineer approval only, e.g PLC Internal Communication Buses, Servo Valves and Governor Communications, etc. Pneumatic 3 to 15 P.S.I.G. Discrete signals At 24 volts D.C. The design shall ensure that instruments are capable of communicating with all other interconnected components. Electronic

INSTRUMENT PROCESS CONNECTIONS

All instrument connections on piping, vessel and equipment shall conform with the corresponding vessel and/or piping specification. The table below is a guide only and special attention shall be given to the size and location of instrument connections of each item during detailed engineering, taking into account the fluid phase or phases, and physical chemical / corrosion properties of fluids. The detailed design shall also be compatible with PDVSA piping specification HF201 Instrument piping design and instrument installation. Connections shall be made either on the side or top of process equipment, not at the bottom. This requirement applies to both pipe and vessel taps. Low lateral connections shall be sufficiently high to prevent plugging due to dirt or suspended solids. The connection shall be short and without pockets. Temperature sensors and analyzer sampling probes shall be located where there is flow and rapid response, for example in an elbow against flow direction, rather than where fluid is stagnant. Analyser sampling probes shall ensure a true representation of the fluid to be analyzed.

The insertion lengths and construction details of thermowell and analyzer sampling probes shall be designed to resist high fluid velocities and physical / corrosion impact. Pressure sensing points (for pressure, differential pressure or level measurement) shall be situated well away from locations where measurements can be affected by local impact and velocity variations. Lead lines between the first block valve and the instrument shall be kept as short as possible. All instruments shall be mounted closecoupled and on vibration free supports.

All electronic instruments shall be in compliance with area classification requirements in accordance with the National Electric Code. See ISA Standards S12.1, S12.10 and S12.2 for additional details. If an instrument is not available either intrinsically safe or as an explosionproof item, a purged system with inert gas or air shall be considered in accordance with NFPA 496. All such applications are subject to PDVSA approval.
