8.1 Inject oxygen scavenger and other treatment chemicals continuously at a rate
that will provide the specified concentration while filling the system for the
hydrostatic test.
8.2 Where multiple treating chemicals are required, ensure that the chemicals
proposed for use are compatible with one another. Use separate proportioning
pumps for each chemical to avoid adverse reactions. Chemicals shall not be
mixed prior to injection.
9 Disposal
9.1 Hydrostatic test waters must be disposed of in accordance with the requirements
of SAEP-327 and SAES-A-103.
9.2 Disposal plans must be approved prior to the start of any hydrotest.
10 Safety
10.1 Follow procedures outlined in the Chemical Hazard Bulletins and Hazardous
Materials Communications Program (HAZCOM) labeling provided by the
Environmental Compliance Division, Environmental Protection Department for
handling, storage, and mixing of the chemicals to be used for hydrostatic test
water treatment.
10.2 Provide an effective eye wash station and emergency shower per SAES-B-069
at the mixing site of the chemicals.
10.3 Hydrotests shall avoid the use of biocide during the hydrotest itself unless
absolutely essential. Lay-up water may be treated with biocide as necessary.
10.5.1 Procedures must ensure that explosive mixtures of air and gas cannot
occur. For example, the use of a single scraper in a pipeline is not
sufficient to prevent a dangerous mixture occurring between sweet gas
and air. Common practice is to use a train of scrapers with at least two
batches of nitrogen separating air and combustible gas.
