Production of Xylene Equipment : Pipe (16A) Parameter :Pressure, flow Guideword High Deviation High pressure Causes Increase

in temperature in distillation column Pipe burst. Consequences Action -Install pipe that have high temperature and pressure limit. -Install temperature indicator/controller -Install high temperature alarm -Install pressure indicator/controller -Install high pressure alarm - Install temperature indicator/controller -Install low temperature alarm -Install pressure indicator/controller -Install low pressure alarm

Low

Low pressure

Decrease in temperature in flash column

The compositions of distillation product vary from what is desired.

Production of Xylene Equipment: Pipeline 03&04 Parameter: Flow

Guideword More Deviation More feed flow Causes -Pump fault -Increase in volume feed in storage tank Consequences - More fluid passing through 101-E in higher speed - Shorter contact time between with heating fluid at 101-E result in lower -temperature of output fluid 101-R floods - Increase in pressure of the feed - Level in reactor increase and temperature increase Action -Install low temperature alarm -Install flow control valve on inlet of 101-E -Install high flow alarm -Install high pressure alarm -Install flow indicator/controller in 101R -Install low temperature alarm in 101-R -Install pressure indicator for monitoring purpose -Install flow indicator/controller -Install low flow alarm -Install pressure indicator/controller for monitoring purpose -Install high temperature

Less Less feed ( -Pump failure flow -Pipe blockage -Pipe leakage -Less fluid passing through 101-E in -lower speed -Longer contact time with heating fluid at 101-E result in higher temperature of output fluid -Waste of material -Drop in pressure of the feed in pipeline -Level in reactor drop and temperature increase -101-E overheated

-101-E damage

alarm -Install low pressure alarm -Install high temperature alarm in 101-R -Install pressure gauge for monitoring purpose -Install high pressure alarm in 101-R

None

No feed flow

-Pump failure -Pipe blockage -Pipe leakage

-101-E overheated -101-E damage -Pressure build up at output of 101-E causing pipe burst -Pressure build up in 101-E due to the blockage, causing explosion No reaction at reactor -Level of fluid in 101-R decrease -Efficiency decrease -Mixing of back flow reacted product with reactants

Reverse

Reverse feed flow

-Pipe blockage -101-P not working and 101-R overfill

-Install a control valve to prevent reverse flow of fluid -Install low level indicator in 101-R
