Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of D-130 (Lube Oil Storage Drum)?

To store the lube oil for C-120A/B and C-360A/B.

How is the temperature of the lube oil maintained within D-130?

The temperature is maintained by E-130 (Lube Oil Drum Plate Coil) using 60 psig steam.

What is the purpose of the LP nitrogen purge system connected to D-130?

To remove oxygen and other contaminants from the lube oil, preventing oxidation and degradation.

Flashcards

D-130 (Lube Oil Storage Drum)

Stores lube oil for compressors C-120A/B and C-360A/B. It includes a plate coil for temperature control and a nitrogen purge system.

E-130 (Lube Oil Drum Plate Coil)

Maintains the lube oil temperature in D-130 using 60 psig steam as a heating medium. Condensate goes to the 60 psig Steam Condensate Header.

P-130 (Lube Oil Transfer Pump)

Transfers lube oil from D-130 to compressors C-120A/B and C-360A/B.

D-140 (Crankcase Oil Storage Drum)

Stores crankcase oil for compressors C-120A/B and C-360A/B. It includes a plate coil for temperature control and a nitrogen blanket.

Study Notes

  • Lube oil is supplied by D-130, and crankcase oil is supplied by D-140 to C-120A/B and C-360A/B.
  • Portable, pneumatic pumps use plant air to transfer lube oil and crankcase oil from 55-gallon drums to storage drums.
  • The following equipment descriptions provide further details about the size, shape, internals, special features, etc. of each piece of equipment.
  • The equipment discussed are D-130 (Lube Oil Storage Drum), E-130 (Lube Oil Drum Plate Coil), P-130 (Lube Oil Transfer Pump), D-140 (Crankcase Oil Storage Drum), E-140 (Crankcase Drum Plate Coil).

Lube Oil Storage Drum (D-130)

  • D-130 (2’6”D x 7’L) serves both C-120A/B and C-360A/B and it stores the lube oil.
  • D-130 has a plate coil for temperature regulation.
  • The drum has a Roto-Meter that regulates the LP nitrogen purge, which vents to the atmosphere via a rooftop vent.
  • Lube oil enters the drum from the top and exits from the bottom.
  • LP nitrogen enters and vents from the top of the drum.

Lube Oil Drum Plate Coil (E-130)

  • E-130 maintains the temperature of the lube oil inside D-130.
  • It uses 60 psig steam as the heating medium.

Lube Oil Transfer Pump (P-130)

  • A pump moves liquids or slurries through piping using methods like piston or diaphragm pressure, rotating vanes, screw vanes, or increased fluid velocity.
  • All pumps use seals preventing leakage to the atmosphere.
  • Air-operated diaphragm pumps use compressed air and flexible diaphragms to move fluids.
  • P-130 is an air-operated diaphragm pump that routes lube oil to C-120A/B and C-360A/B.

Crankcase Oil Storage Drum (D-140)

  • D-140 (2’6”D x 7’L) is common to both C-120A/B and C-360A/B and it stores the crankcase oil.
  • D-140 includes a plate coil for temperature control.
  • Crankcase oil enters from the top and exits from the bottom.
  • LP nitrogen enters the top of the drum.

Crankcase Drum Plate Coil (E-140)

  • E-140 maintains the temperature of the crankcase oil inside D-140 using 60 psig steam as the heating medium.
