1. PREFACE:

Pre- Commissioning cleaning (Detergent flushing & Acid cleaning) of Butadiene pipe lines loop
2 at IMC LIMITED, APM TERMINALS, PIPAVA PORT GUJARAT. The objectives of the process
are to remove Rust, Oil & Grease, and other impurities. The complete process is carried out as
per approved procedure by M/s. IMC LIMITED, & M/s. ARUDRA ENGINEERS PVT LTD.

The Detergent flushing process was carried with coronil-100, this was followed by acid
cleaning carried with coronil-92B and CITRIC ACID, and passivation was done by SODIUM
NITRATE and TSP. The entire system cleaning was carried out as per the following steps;

 Cold water Flushing

 Heated soft water Flushing.
 Detergent Flushing
 Heated water flushing
 Inhibited Acid cleaning
 Mild citric rinsing and Passivation.

2. PROTOCOL REPORT
System Volume: 275 M3 and temporary pipe volume: approx. 15 M3
1 Cold water(service water) flushing was carried out on 27.08.2018
2 Heated soft water flushing was carried out on 28 .08.2018
3 DEGREESING of BUTADINE Pipelines loop2 was carried out from 29.08.2018
Chemicals used coronil-100(0.05-0.1%) = 150 liters.
4 Pigging after Detergent flushing was carried out on 29.08.2018
5 ACID CLEANING:
Note: Loop 2 has been divided into Two parts due to temperature not attained on
vapor line as per the approved procedure.
LOOP II => LOOP II A, LOOP II B.
