1.0 INTRODUCTION
PT. Pertamina (Persero) Directorate of Marketing and Commerce, intends to carry out the construction
of pressurized LPG terminal in line with the government's program to reduce fuel subsidies of land for
By the conversion of fuel from kerosene to LPG, the LPG demand in the future will continue to increase
while the facility receiving, storage and distribution of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG terminal) available
is not sufficient, so it should be added hoarding LPG facility, to anticipate the needs of LPG in the future

Tanker Unloading
The LPG is transferred into the LPG storage tanks by Marine Loading Arms & Jetty LPG Metering.
Marine Loading Arms consist of Liquid for Loading & Vapour of for Unloading of Mixture LPG from
Tanker. Due to the capacities of LPG Storage Tank, two storage tanks are normally filled in
parallel from Tanker. Since LPG is unloaded into a single LPG storage tank, the unloading
rates may be lowered. The LPG discharged from the tanker is directed to the storage tanks
through 16" headers serving the LPG storage tanks.
The actual unloading rates are established on level indications in the onshore storage
tanks. Control valves at inlet storage tanks will be balancing the LPG fiowrate into each tank.
The quality of LPG being unloaded is monitored by Jetty LPG Metering Package. The analysis
of incoming LPG is done to complete the cargo certificates provided with the incoming CIF (Cost,
Insurance & Freight) LPG to ensure appropriately placed of LPG into the LPG storage tanks
through top or bottom fill nozzles avoiding roll-over risks.
Tanker Loading
As Hub Terminal, loading operation is required. Loading operation is performed by LPG Pumps
in pump station area of each tank group. LPG is pumped from LPG Storage Tanks to 3 Filling
Shed by LPG Pumps . Each LPG Pump has a capacity 146 m3/hr . The LPG suction
line consists of 12" header, 10" distribution line to each pump suction. The discharge line
consists of 12" pipe into a 8" header.

The LPG Receiving from Depot Dumai to be distributed to LPG Storage Tanks and LPG Tank
with mass flow 3000 MT/hr. During transfer LPG from Tanker to LPG Terminal will be measured
by Jetty LPG Metering system. After flowing through metering system, LPG is injected by odorant
LPG Storage Tank is equipped with Automatic Tank Gauging and magnetic level

During LPG filling process from Depot Dumai to LPG storage tank, when LPG storage
tank has achieved High Level (LI-03), the inlet MOV (G-02) will automatically close. Whereas
when the LPG storage tank has been reached Low Level (LI-03) due to pumping process to LPG

are automatically worked by Automatic Tank Gauging (ATG). Whereas LPG Storage Tank can
LPG Storage Tank (200-T-01/02) is associated with water spray system installed around the
storage tank outside. When Temperature Transmitter indicates that temperature of LPG Storage
Tank (200-T-01/02) above the operating temperature (35 oC or 40oC) during operation or stanby
mode, then deluge valves (DV-7A1 and DV-7B1) of water spray system will open to cooling
the LPG Storage Tank until the operating temperature of the storage tank is achieved. This
process will keep LPG with in the storage tank in liquid form condition.
LPG Storage Tank (200-T-01/02) has overpressure protection from fire case by two pressure
LPG Pumps (300-P- 01/02/03) is a system for distributing LPG from LPG Storage Tank
to LPG loading trucks. The LPG distribution from LPG Storage Tank (200-T-01/02) to the Filling
Shed is using LPG Pumps, whereas filling to The Truck Loading Arms . The type of LPG Pumps
is centrifugal. 300 PCV 304 is designed for minimum flow / pump mechanical safety and If there is
an excess of LPG liquid during LPG loading into the LPG distribution trucks from LPG Pumps,
then the excess of LPG liquid will recycled to LPG Storage Tank (200-T-01/02).
The LPG Truck Loading System. LPG Truck Loading System consists of the following
items:
LPG distribution from LPG Storage Tank (200-T-01/02) to the LPG Filling Shed is done
by LPG Truck Filling Pumps (P-01/02/03) with configuration 3 (two) operations. The type

LPG Truck Filling Pumps (P-01/02/03) which run parallel or single (staging - de-staging),
and start/stop controlling. All of those are carried out by Terminal Automation System
(TAS).The speed controlling of LPG Truck Filling Pumps (P-01/02/03) via Variable
SpeedDrive (VSD) is triggered by signal inputs from Total Flow Controller (300-FY-300)
