Questions and Answers

Describe the primary function of the carbon canisters connected to G-202A. Why is this important?

The carbon canisters capture hydrocarbon vapors exiting G-202A, preventing their release into the atmosphere. This is important for environmental protection and air quality.

Explain the process by which oil is removed from the water in G-202A, and where the separated oil is ultimately routed.

Oil is manually skimmed from the water in G-202A into a collection box. From there, it's routed by P-98 (Oil Skimmer Pump) back to G-202B.

What is the key difference between how P-94 and P-95A/B are powered, and why might this difference be important during a power outage?

P-94 (Dry Weather Pump) is powered by an electric motor, while P-95A/B (Wet Weather Pumps) are powered by diesel motors. During a power outage, P-95A/B can continue to operate, providing essential water routing capabilities, while P-94 would be non-functional.

Under what weather conditions is P-94 primarily used, and what is its destination for the water it pumps?

<p>P-94 is primarily used during dry weather. It pumps water from G-202A to surge tanks in the Utilities Treatment Area.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Describe the function of G-202A and list the sources of oily water that it collects.

<p>G-202A functions as a storm water sump and API separator, collecting oily water from G-202B, Z-56, 1791/1797 flare seal drum overflow, and the utilities hydroblast slab.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Flashcards

G-202A Primary Function

Collects oily water, separates oil, and sends water for further treatment.

P-98 Function

A diaphragm pump using nitrogen to transfer skimmed oil from G-202A back to G-202B.

P-94 Function

A centrifugal pump that moves water from G-202A to surge tanks during dry conditions.

P-95A/B Function

Centrifugal pumps supplementing P-94 during rain, sending excess water to surge tanks.

Study Notes

  • Water from G-202B, Z-56, 1791/1797 flare seal drum overflow, and utilities hydroblast slab flows to G-202A; Unit 1791/179y OWS is routed to G-202A.
  • Oil entering G-202A is manually skimmed, collected, and routed to G-202B by P-98 (Oil Skimmer Pump).
  • During dry weather, water is routed by P-94 (Dry Weather Pump) to surge tanks in the Utilities Treatment Area.
  • During rain, P-95A/B (Wet Weather Pumps) automatically start to assist in routing excess water.
  • Hydrocarbon vapors exiting G-202A are routed to carbon canisters to prevent atmospheric emissions.

G-202A (Storm Water Sump / API Separator)

  • G-202A is a concrete basin (10’W x 70’L) with a galvanized steel cover and a vent breather.
  • It collects oily water from G-202B, Z-56, 1791/1797 flare seal drum overflow, and utilities hydroblast slab.
  • Oil is separated and pumped back to G-202B, while water is pumped to the Utilities Treatment Area for further processing.

P-98 (Oil Skimmer Pump)

  • P-98 (Oil Skimmer Pump) is a nitrogen-driven diaphragm pump.
  • It routes skimmed oil from G-202A back to G-202B.

P-94 (Dry Weather Pump)

  • P-94 (Dry Weather Pump) is a single-stage centrifugal pump, driven by a 20 HP horizontally-mounted induction electric motor.
  • It routes water from G-202A to surge tanks in the Utilities Treatment Area.

P-95A/B (Wet Weather Pumps)

  • P-95A/B (Wet Weather Pumps) are single-stage centrifugal pumps driven by diesel motors.
  • They supplement P-94 during rainstorms, routing additional water entering G-202A to surge tanks in the Utilities Treatment Area.
