1.0 INTRODUCTION
This operating manual relates to the Unit 71 LNG Storage & Transfer facilities
indicated on three Process Flow Diagrams, PR-71-PR32-006, PR-71-PR32-007 and
PR-00-PR32-004 and nineteen P&ID’s, PR-71-SYPI-003 through PR-71-SYPI-005,
and 009, 013, 013A, 016, 016A, 017, 017A, 018, 018A, 021, 021A, 021B, 022, 023
and 024.
The purpose of the LNG Storage and Transfer Unit 71 is to provide a LNG Storage
Tank, 71-MF01 for LNG product produced by the New Skikda LNG plant as well as
for LNG produced by the existing Units at the Skikda Complex. Four LNG Loading
Pumps, 71-MJ01-A/B/C/D, are provided to pump LNG from the tank to ships at the
loading jetty. Boil off gas handling and recovery facilities are also provided for the
LNG Storage Tank, 71-MF01, as well as for the existing LNG tanks.
Boil off gas (BOG) generated during ship loading is returned from the jetty to the
BOG header where it mixes with BOG from the LNG Storage Tank, 71-MF01, and
existing LNG tanks. The header gas flows into Boil-Off Compressor Suction Drum,
71-MD01. LNG from the LNG Rundown header is injected into 71-MD01 to control
the BOG temperature to the BOG Compressor 71-MJ05-A/05-B/05-C. The BOG
Compressors, 71-MJ05-A/B/C increase the gas pressure and return it to the Unit 15.
Excess BOG which cannot be recovered without exceeding the safe operating
pressure of the system is burned in the Enclosed Low Pressure Flare, 71-MB01.
This should only happen if the compressors trip or are otherwise unavailable during
ship loading.
LNG in the suction drum is pumped back to LNG Storage Tank, 71-MF01, by LNG
Liquid Return Pumps, 71-MJ06/-A.

3.0 OPERATIONS
3.1 Normal Running
This section provides a description of the operating parameters for the LNG Storage
and Transfer System. Refer to Section 3.2 for a list of typical operating variables for
this system.
3.1.1 Boil Off Compressors Suction Drum 71-MD01
BOG header gas flows into this drum from the three existing and one new LNG tank.
The header pressure high and low pressures are limited by DCS logic K-7191, which
monitors the LNG storage tank pressure transmitters and selects which transmitter to
use as the process variable with pressure controller, 71-PIC-2129. The controller
throttles valve, 71-PV-2129, to vent excess gas from the BOG header to LP Flare KO
Drum, 71-MD02.
The BOG Compressors receive pressure input signals from the new LNG storage
tank, 71-MF01, and from each of the three existing LNG storage tanks. When all four
tank pressures are above 15 mbarg, the highest of the four is used as the measured
variable for control. If any of the tank pressures drop below 15 mbarg, the lowest of
the pressures is used for control.
The controller for 71-PV-2129 also receives pressure input signals from the new LNG
storage tank, 71-MF01, and from each of the three existing LNG storage tanks.
When all four tank pressures are above 15mbarg, the highest of the four is used as
the measured variable for control. If any of the tank pressures drop below 15 mbarg,
the lowest of the pressures is used for control.
71-MF01 71-PT-2073
81-TK-102 71-PT-8102
81-TK-103 71-PT-8103
81-TK-104 71-PT-8104
Vapor at a temperature of -120 °C will flow from the top of this drum into the BOG
Compressors, 71-MJ05-A/B/C. The vapor temperature is controlled by cascade
master controller, 71-TIC-1029A, which controls the setpoint of LNG slave flow
controller, 71-FIC-1029. The LNG is sprayed into the top of the drum through valve,
71-FV-1029, controlled by 71-FIC-1029. Temperature controller 71-TIC-1029B
recirculates BOG to the drum through valve 71-TV-1029B. BOG flows from Boil Off
Gas Aftercoolers, 71-MC01-A/B/C to assist in maintaining the drum overhead
temperature.
LNG in the bottom is pumped out to LNG Storage Tank, 71-MF01, by LNG Liquid
Return Pumps, 71-MJ06/A. The pump-out rate is increased when the level is high
through the action of level controller, 71-LIC-1025B.
3.1.2 LNG Liquid Return Pumps 71-MJ06 and 71-MJ06-A
These pumps drain the BOG compressors Suction Drum, 71-MD01, back to LNG
Storage Tank, 71-MF01. They are started and stopped manually by the operator from
DCS. DCS logic K-7121 will start the standby pump automatically in remote mode
when the discharge pressure (measured by 71-PSL-1002) is low.

SKIKDA, ALGERIA PP-AAA-PP1-131
OPERATING MANUAL VOLUME III, SECTION 1-1: REVISION 2
UNIT 71 LNG STORAGE & TRANSFER 21-May-13
There is constant flow of LNG through suction drum, 71-MD01. This flow controlled
from the rundown header by 71-FIC-1025. If the temperature of BOG leaving
71-MD01 should increase above -120°C, the flow of LNG to the top of the packed
section will be increased by 71-FIC-1029 to keep the BOG suction temperature at or
below the set point of 71-TIC-1029-A.
The drum level controller, 71-LIC-1025B, is a cascade master whose output goes to
signal limiter, 71-FY-1026, 71-FIC-1026 is configured with a low set point limit of
pump minimum flow that also provides input to 71-FY-1026. The output of the limiter
throttles the pump discharge valve, 71-FV-1026. The limiter will pass the output from
71-LIC-1025B through to 71-FV-1026 unless the flow, measured by 71-FT-1026, is
too low. In order to maintain a minimum flow through the pump, 71-FY-1026, will limit
the setpoint reduction. The operator can adjust this limit from the DCS console. Each
of the LNG Liquid Return Pumps 71-MJ06 and 71-MJ06A can be started by DCS
Start/Stop switches:
Pump DCS Switch
71-MJ06 71-HS-1081
71-MJ06-A 71-HS-1082
3.1.3 Boil Off Gas Compressors 71-MJ05-A, 71-MJ05-B & 71-MJ05-C
These three compressors are electric motor driven 2-stage centrifugal compressors.
They compress BOG in the header and return it to Unit 15. During loading most of
the BOG comes from the ships. The compressors are sized so that two are required
when loading one ship and three will handle loading two ships at once. The control
system is supplied by the manufacturer. Each can be started locally or remotely from
the DCS:
71-MJ05-A 71-HS-5000A
71-MJ05-B 71-HS-5000B
71-MJ05-C 71-HS-5000C
The anti-surge controllers monitor the flow, pressures and temperatures and adjust
the recycle valves to prevent surge conditions. The operator can manually open the
recirculation valves around each compressor using DCS manual loading stations.
The compressor anti-surge controllers will over-ride these manual settings and open
the valves further, if necessary, to prevent a surge condition.

SKIKDA, ALGERIA PP-AAA-PP1-131
OPERATING MANUAL VOLUME III, SECTION 1-1: REVISION 2
UNIT 71 LNG STORAGE & TRANSFER 21-May-13
The compressor control system also includes a pressure control system, which
maintains pressure setpoint in the BOG header by adjusting the loading of the LP
section of each compressor. Compressor load is adjusted by throttling the inlet guide
vanes (IGV). The DCS sends the pressure from the three existing LNG tanks 81-TK-
102/103/104 and new LNG Storage Tank 71-MF01 to the three compressor pressure
controllers. The compressor controllers use the same process variable selection
method as that used by the DCS to control BOG header flow to the LP Flare Drum
71-MD02.
The seal gas for each compressor is feed gas from the Defrost Gas Heater 15-ML01.
The pressure is controlled by DCS controller 71-PIC-1578, which throttles valve
71-PV-1578.
3.1.4 BOG Compressor Intercoolers 71-MC02-A, 71-MC02-B & 71-MC02-C
The intercooler between the 1st and 2nd stage of each Boil Off Gas Compressor
71-MJ05-A/B/C is a tubing bundle installed in the bay of the BOG Aftercoolers
71-MC01-A/B/C. There are no separate fans for these bundles and therefore no DCS
control.
3.1.5 BOG Compressor Aftercoolers 71-MC01-A, 71-MC01-B & 71-MC01-C
These are fin-fan type coolers which cool BOG discharged from the Boil Off Gas
Compressors 71-MJ05-A/B/C. Each aftercooler consists of one bay and has two
fans. The fans are started and stopped from the DCS. Fan motors and DCS
Stop/Start Switches are as follows:
a) 71-HS-101A, & 71-HS-102A, for Fan Motors 71-MC01A & 71-MC02A
b) 71-HS-101B, & 71-HS-102B, for Fan Motors 71-MC01B & 71-MC02B
c) 71-HS-101C, & 71-HS-102C, for Fan Motors 71-MC01C & 71-MC02C
3.1.6 LNG Storage Tank 71-MF01
LNG from the rundown header flows to this tank and also to the loading header at the
jetty. LNG pressure on the line going to the loading header is adjusted from the DCS
using manual controller 71-HIC-2167, which throttles valve 71-HV-2167, to limit flow
to the tank. Decreasing flow to the tank will increase the pressure available at the
loading header. Also a manual controller 71-HIC-1004 adjusts the flow of LNG to the
jetty through valve 71-HV-1004.
The back pressure of the LNG flowing into the tank is controlled by 71-PIC-1102,
which throttles liquid into 71-MF01 through valve 71-PV-1102. Likewise the pressure
of LNG received from Unit GL1.K is controlled by 71-PIC-1168, which throttles the
liquid in through valve 71-PV-1168. DCS logic K-7119 monitors the tank vapor
temperature from 71-TAH-1123. If the temperature is high the logic will force the
controllers 71-PIC-1102 and 71-PIC-1168 to close both valves 71-PV-1102 and
71-PV-1168 and also will prevent the valves from being opened manually.
To avoid a vacuum in the tank vapor space when LNG Loading Pumps 71-MJ01-
A/B/C/D are running pressure controller 15-PIC-2127 brings in makeup feed gas from
Unit 15 to the BOG header through valve 15-PV-2127. This could also occur during
atmospheric pressure swings.
The tank concrete foundation temperature is electrically heated to prevent the ground
beneath from freezing and heaving. The heating elements, RTD type temperature
elements, temperature transmitters and heater controls are furnished by the tank

manufacturer. The heating elements are installed in straight circuits under the tank
and circular circuits in the ring wall, separated into odd and even circuits. There are a
total of four heating zones. The DCS monitors all of the temperatures of the four
zones from 24 temperature transmitters. If any temperature is less than 4 degrees, all
heater controllers are turned on. When all 24 temperature measurements are greater
than 5 degrees all heater controllers are turned off. If desired, this control scheme
can be revised to zone control during start-up.

loading station. Also, there is a minimum flow recirculation line from each pump back
to 71-MF01.

4.0 START-UP
This section outlines the steps necessary to place the LNG Storage and Transfer
System in service. For the purpose of this section of the operating manual, it is
assumed that the following conditions exist: The system and equipment have been
pre-commissioned, tested and commissioning has been completed including dry out,
cool down and the system is ready for start-up.
4.1 LNG Storage Tank
The LNG storage tank will have been cooled down following commissioning
procedures and under the recommendation of the tank vendor. The start up of the
tank is part of the cool down which included basic steps below:
1. The pressure controller of BOG system PIC-2129 is lined up (controlling the
LNG tank pressure as well during cool down). The set point of the pressure
controller, PIC-2129, is adjusted to approximately 100mbarg.
2. LNG is admitted initially through 3” cool down line to the tank cool-down (3”size)
LNG spray nozzles located under the suspended deck (roof), displaced nitrogen
and flash vapor is vented to the LP Flare. This (cool down line) is fed through
71-FI-1101 from the LNG rundown line and GL1K complex; the cool down line
and the LNG rundown will have been cooled down and filled up to LNG Tank
inlet control valve, 71-PV-1102. LNG for cool down can also come from the
GL1K complex and the line will have been cooled down and filled up to LNG
Tank inlet control valve 71-PV-1168.
3. The cool-down spray nozzles line is slowly opened to increase the cool down
flow gradually while maintaining the LNG rundown pressure (just upstream of
the cool down spray nozzles isolation valve.)
4. The LNG flow is required through the cool down line to cool down the LNG tank
to -150°C and establish a minimum heel in the tank before introducing LNG flow
through the rundown line (top) filling line; additional LNG is required to establish
a minimum level of LNG in the tank to maintain the tank cold temperature and to
cool down LNG loading pumps 71-MJ01-A/01-B/01-C and 01-D.
PRECAUTION
The cool down rate should NOT exceed 3°C per hour in order to meet
differential temperature criteria of not more than 30°C between two adjacent
points. Total gradients across the inner tank bottom and shell surfaces shall
not exceed 50°C. To monitor temperature gradients throughout the tank cool
down process, thermal sensor elements have been fixed at various tank
locations.
5. If the temperature gradients listed above are exceeded, the flow rate of liquid
introduced to the tank must be stopped until the differences fall within the
allowed gradients. The instance may arise where a thermal sensor has poor
thermal attachments and therefore exhibits warmer temperatures than actually
occurring at that location. Judgment needs to prevail in this case and the
temperature reading adjusted or ignored based on other readings.
6. The flow rate of cold gas exhaust and liquid inlet shall be regulated to prevent a
partial vacuum from occurring due to pressure drop caused by too rapid cooling
gas in the tank. Make up gas if necessary to prevent a vacuum from occurring.

1. Before pushing the start button, 71-HS-1081/82 make sure that no boil off gas is
flowing through vent or discharge line (boil-off gas indicator system is not cooled
down completely.)
2. Ensure pump discharge valves are lined up open through 71-FV-1026 to the
LNG Storage Tank 71-MF01 and existing LNG rundown line for continuous flow
when the pump is running. 71-FV-1026 has minimum stop for flow rate of
3624kg/hr (87 tpd) for pump protection.
3. Ensure that the pump discharge pressure gauge 71-PG-1032/33, flow meter 71-
FIC-1026 and ammeter can be observed by the operator so that quick
evaluation of the pump 71-MJ06/06A performance can be made.
4. Verify that there is a liquid level 71-LI-1025-A in Boil Off Compressor Suction
Drum, 71-MD01.
5. Ensure Pump 71-MJ06/A start permissives are satisfied.
6. Push Start button, 71-HS-1081/82
CAUTION: In case of trip of the pump DO NOT RESTART THE PUMP
IMMEDIATELY. With normal liquid levels, the time between first start and
second start is 5 minutes, then wait 15 minutes before the third start and then
wait 30 minutes before restarting again. The maximum number of starts must
not exceed 4 per hour.

14. Place the compressor control system in service to maintain pressure setpoint in
the BOG header by adjusting loading of the LP section of each compressor.
Compressor load is adjusted by throttling the inlet guide vanes (IGV).
15. Place all instrumentation in service in automatic mode to control the Boil-off
Compressor Suction Drum and Compressor operation.
16. Start BOG flow from compressor 71-MJ05A/B/C discharge header through flow
indicator, 71-FI-2067 to 15-MD05A/B in Unit 15 and establish flow the BOG
Recycle Compressors 15-MJ06A/B/C.
17. Monitor the BOG Compressor operation closely to verify the system is operating
safely.
18. Repeat steps 8 through 16 of the start up description to start compressors 71-
MJ05B and 71-MJ05C.

5.0 SHUTDOWN
5.1 Normal Shutdown
The following steps are based on a planned shutdown of the LNG Storage and
Transfer System.
5.1.1 LNG Storage Tank
The LNG Storage Tank will normally remain in service unless the existing units from
GL1K Complex and the new LNG plant all shut down and LNG flow to the LNG
Storage Tank, 71-MF01, from each of the units is stopped and no LNG flow is
required to be pumped from the tank to the ship loading jetties.
It is expected that once the tank, 71-MF01 is cooled down and placed in service, it
will remain in service. As units that supply LNG to the LNG Tank shut down. Ensure
that the LNG line inlet valves to the tank are closed and blinded.
5.1.2 LNG Transfer Pumps
The LNG Transfer Pumps, 71-MJ01A/B/C/D are shut down except when sending
LNG to the loading jetties or circulating LNG for cooling. It is expected that the pumps
and the lines to and from the jetties and kick back lines will be cold and ready for
service at all times unless one requires maintenance.
5.1.3 LNG Liquid Return Pumps
The LNG Liquid Return Pumps, 71-MJ06/A, are in service or on standby at all times
since the flow from rundown through the suction drum, 71-MD01, to the LNG storage
tank, 71-MF01, is continuous. The pumps and lines to the LNG Storage Tank, 71-
MF01, are kept cold and ready for service at all times, unless down for maintenance.
If one pump must be taken out of service, the liquid must be drained to the LP flare,
followed by defrost gas to warm the pump up to ambient temperatures and then
nitrogen to remove all hydrocarbons prior to the start of maintenance work.
5.1.4 Boil Off Gas Compressors
The BOG Compressors will normally remain in service during a shut down, however,
if they must be shut down, follow the steps below.
1. Stop BOG Compressors, 71-MJ05A/B/C with hand-switches, 71-HS-5000A/B/C.
2. Ensure that 71-ESDV-2061 is closed in boil off gas header to BOG Compressor
Suction Drum, 71-MD01.
3. Ensure that 71-ESDV-1047 is closed in the LNG rundown line to BOG
Compressor Suction Drum, 71-MD01.
4. Ensure that 15-ESDV-1314 is closed in boil off gas header from Boil Off Gas
Aftercoolers, 71-MC01-A/B/C to Boil Off Gas Recycle Compressors, 15-
MJ06A/B/C. Request operator in Unit 15 to use hand switch 15-HS-1314 to
close 15-ESDV-1314.
5. Ensure that 15-ESDV-1128 is closed in boil off gas header from Boil Off Gas
Aftercoolers, 71-MC01-A/B/C to 15-MD05-A/B. Request operator in Unit 15 to
use hand switch 15-HS-1128 to close 15-ESDV-1128.
6. Ensure that LNG Liquid Return Pumps, 71-MJ06/A are shut down.
7. Shut off fans on BOG Compressor Intercoolers, 71-MC02-A/B/C.
