Any chemical plant started with plant utility.Utilities functions as the
heart of the plant serving all kinds of life blood to the complex
plant system.

• Water • Feed Stock Storage/

• Steam Transfer
• Condensate Recovery • Product Storage/
• Fuel Gas Transfer
• Plant & Instrument Air • Electrical Supply &
• Nitrogen Distribution System
• Flare
• Water system consist of purification and supplying
• Fire Water - supply water to the plant area distribution
system in the event of a fire or hydrocarbon release.
• Portable Water - provides clean treated water for safety
shower, eye wash stations, sanitary facilities and personnel
consumption throughout the plant facilities
• Cooling Water- cool down the temperature by using cooling
tower.
• Utility Water beside treatment and disposal of sewer/waste
water - supplied to the plant distribution system from utility
and fire water tanks.
• Steam system consists of generating and supplying steam at
three pressure/temperature levels; high pressure, medium
pressure and low pressure.

• Steam condensate is collected from the steam users by the high

and low pressure condensate return systems.
• The high pressure system receives condensate from all high pressure
and medium pressure steam users. A low pressure system collects
condensate from all low pressure steam users.
• Return condensate from the complex plant and adjacent plant is
normally the most acceptable form of water for steam generator
operation, because it contain no solid, is hot and not additional
treatment is normally required.
• Operating personnel must be aware of the potential for process
contamination of return condensate from the plant steam users. Return
condensate represents the most significant potential source of
corrosion products entering the boiler feedwater cycle.
• Fuel gas system consists of receiving and supplying of fuel gas
to different units at two pressure levels; HP and LP.
• Plant and instrument air for the plant is supplied by air
compressors.
• The driven for the compressor is either by using steam turbine or
motor driven.
• Air that enters to the compressor then is filtered.
• Air is compressed in a few times and it’s dried before stores in
a surge tank. Air then supplies to the plant air distribution
system and instrument air for use throughout the plant.
• Normal continuous usage of nitrogen is for catalyst regeneration,
methanol storage tank purging, and for instrument air in the port
storage area.
• The largest nitrogen consumer will be non-continuous for operations
such as reactor dry out, catalyst loading, and purging during start-up
and shutdown of the various process units.
• Nitrogen will also be used for the purging and clearing of pipelines
between the plant site and port storage area.
• The leased nitrogen plant also includes a liquid nitrogen surge drum
designed to receive and distribute surge requirements to the header
system for system for process start-up and shutdown operations.
• Plant flare systems are provided to collect hydrocarbon gases and
liquids released from all areas of the site.
• There are two separate systems primarily designed for disposal of
gases, the high and low pressure flare systems.
• The cold blowdown vent system disposes of cryogenic vapor/liquid
hydrocarbons. These liquids and gases are potentially harmful to
personnel and/or the environment, and must be contained, collected
and disposed of in a safe manner.
• Flare systems are therefore the methods chosen to dispose of these
materials by burning them in a controlled manner.
• The high and low pressure flare systems and the cold blowdown vent
system of the plant used common shielded ground flare area.

• Feed system consists of receiving, storing and supplying of
different feeds like mixed butanes, methanol, isobutene,
isobutylene and propane.

• The various plant feedstock, whether produced within the

complex as an intermediate product or imported from off-sites
by ship or pipeline, are all stored in the utility area.
• Product system consists of receiving, storing and supplying of
different feeds like MTBE and propylene.

• The product is stored in a storage tank before it transfer to jetty

to export.
• The plant operates on imported power.
• The generator units provide back-up and emergency power.
• Non-interruptible power is supplied from UPS systems and
battery chargers operating in parallel with the normal power
supply.
• Utility operational estimation ? How do we estimate?
• Person responsible ?
• Mechanism of monitoring ?
• Physical / Installation cost ? How many percent from capital
cost?
• What skills are required to become excellent in facilities expert
in processing plant ?
