Hydrotest Procedure For Tank

Hydrotest Procedure for Tank 103
BACKGROUND:
Diesel Oil tank 103 T&I is completed and need to be hydro-tested the following is the
procedure for the filling, hydro-testing and water transfer from/to Tank 106.
WATER TRANSFERR PROCEDURE:
The following procedure describe steps needed to transfer water from Fire Water Tank
106 to Tank 103 for hydro test and then transfer the water back to Fire water Tank 106
after hydro test completed.
Note: The New Truck loading foam skid should not be activated when all fire
pumps include jockey pumps put in manual mode as there is a check valve
on the inlet fire water line (10”-FW-0634-12lC0U) (upstream the deluge
valves to avoid pressure drop between the check valve and the TL& new
product pumps deluges as shown in the attached drawing. the system will
activated if the check valve is passing.
Important Action Notes:
1. The fire water tank T-106 will remain in service with level 2 meter to supply
water for fire fighting pumps to the fire water system.
2. The procedure should be explained and understand be all concerned parties
including NJBP Operation/ fire protection department and maintenance.
3. The usage of water at Tank 106 should be restricted to emergency only until the
hydtrotest completed.
4. In case of emergency fire water pumps should start immediately.
5. In case of emergence isolation valve of tank 103 should be opened to supply the
pumps with water.
1. Water Transfer From Tank 106 to Tank 103
The following procedure describe steps needed to be followed by NJBP operations to

transfer water from Tank 106 to Diesel Oil 103
1. Make necessary and advanced arrangement with Fire protection unit at NJBP and
Loss Prevention rep.
2. Prior start water transfer the material/ contractor and maintenance crew should be
ready and available on call.
3. Close Tank 103 outlet/inlet/water drain valves and sample valves with hold Tags.
4. Blind 20" temporary fire line southern of tank 103.
5. Open Tank 106 valve F-05 outlet.

through elevated tank 120 via underground supply from road truck.
8. Open filing valve to tank 103.
9. Open partially isolation valve F-01
10. Only gravity must be used to avoid excessive turbulence and protect floating roof.
11. Start fill tank 103 slowly by gravity with continues monitoring the water level
inside the tank.
12. Increase opening the valve F-01 gradually until the tank roof float
13. Check for leak during fling tank 103 for all ping system between tank 106 and
Tank 103.
14. Open return line valves for pumps 116 A-D located on 10 EFW1565F and
10EFW1566F.
15. Open 8" gate valve F-04 on the jump over line.
16. Close 8" gate valves F-06 on the return line to inlet tank 106
17. Start pumps 116 A and continues monitoring the level inside tank 103
18. Check piping system and tank 103 for any sign of leak.
19. Start pump 116B once a steady flow has been established and continuous
monitoring the level inside tank 106 and 103.
20. Continues filling the tank up to 14 m and check for any sign of leak.
21. Stop Fire pump 116 A,B and close the isolation valves F01, F02 , F-03 and F-04.
22. Switch to auto mode jockey pump to pressurize the fire network system
23. Switch to auto mode electric and diesel fire system pumps 116A-D and 117 A-d.
24. Close return line valves for pumps 116 A/B located on 10 EFW1565F and
10EFW1566F.
25. Open 10" discharge gate valves for electric pumps 116 A/B located on 10
FW1565F and 10EFW1566F.
26. Open 10" discharge gate valves for electric pumps 116 A/B located 10EFW1416F
and 10 EFW1417F
27. Record all necessary data.
2. Water Transfer from Tank -T-103 to Tank 106:
The following procedure describe steps needed to be followed by NJBP operations to

transfer water from Diesel Oil Tank 103 to 106
 Procedure:
In case of emergency, the fire water pumps should be start immediately:
1. Open return line valves for pumps 116 A/B located on 10 EFW1565F and
10EFW1566F
2. Close 10" discharge gate valves for electric pumps 116 A,B located on
10EFW1416F and 10EFW1417F.

3. Close Tank 106 valve F-05 outlet.
4. Open 10" main gate valve F-03 on the return line
5. Close 8" gate valve F-04 on jump over line
6. Open 8" gate valve F-06 on the return line to inlet tank 106
7. Start pumps 116 A and continues monitoring the level inside tank 106 and 103.
8. Check the piping system and tank 103 for any sign of leak.
9. Start pumps 116 B once a steady flow has been established and continues
monitoring the level inside tank 106 and 103.
10. Continues filling tank 106 until tank 103 level reach to 2m and check for any sign
of leak.
11. Stop the fire pumps 116 A, B and close the isolation valves F-01, F02, F03 and
F-06.
12. Open Tank 106 valves F-05 outlet
13. Switch to auto mode electric and diesel fire system pumps 116 A-D and117 A-D.
14. Switch to auto mode Jockey pump and pressurize the network system
15. Close return line valves for pumps 116A,B located on 10EFW1565F and
10EFW1566F.
16. Open 10" discharge gate valves for electric pumps 116 A, B located on
10EFW1416F and 10EFW1417F.
17. Connect portable pump with necessary hoses from tank 103 bottom drains to tank
106 bottom drains to transfer remaining quantities.
18. Record all necessary data.
Calculations
Total flow rate for the electrical firewater pump:
Flow Rate = 2000 GMP = 62 BBL/M
The estimated required water quantity will be 80% of 500,000 BBL = 400,000
BBL
So, if using one electrical or one diesel engine fire water pump:
Time = 400000 BBL/62 BBL/M = 6451 M /60 M/H = 107.5 Hours = 4.5 Days
