1.0 SCOPE
This manual covers basic design procedures for marine loading/unloading
facilities for flammable liquid except for LNG, Ethylene, liquid sulphur and etc.
and should be used for the Front End Engineering or verification stage of the
project.
Basic design of marine loading/unloading facilities is closely related to Civil and
HSE engineering.
2.0 WORK PROCEDURE
2.1 Inputs to the Design
2.1.1 Data to be provided by The Client
1. Annual Shipment
Products handled and annual quantity
2. Lot Size of Loading/Unloading
Tanker size and/or lot size per product
3. Maximum berth occupancy time per shipment, if available
(Berthing/de-berthing time + Loading or unloading time)
4. Annual Berth Operation Time
Annual operation days
Daily operation hours
5. Ballast water disposal quantity
6. Required Utilities for tankers
7. Seasonal variations for each product, if available.
2.1.2 Process Conditions
1. Source of the data
The design data shall be obtained from, but is not limited to, the following
documents:
Refinery Scheme including material balances for all operation cases.
The design philosophy of the process units (hereinafter called as onsite), product blenders, and marine loading/unloading facilities
Process Flow Diagram (PFD): Refer to Note 1
Basic Engineering Design Data (BEDD)
Piping & Instrument Diagram (P&ID): Refer to Note below.
Note: This manual includes a definitive study to determine berth spot
arrangement. At this stage, Flow Schemes are not available.
