An action is defined as critical if it is an “uncontained risk” which may delay commissioning / hydrocarbons in.
Non-critical actions still require closure, but are considered to be contained (i.e. due date is “in sight”).

Requirement Required Action/Status Cat Critical? Co Resp. Person Due Date
* The Most Basic Requirements to enable introduction of hydrocarbons as per Dag Peiffer’s email summary on 10 September
*1 Tested and operational gas and fire detection system This replaces the action B2.
Critical actions that UHDE and Sazeh need to follow up:

  1. Retype the actions from Mr Dalgliesh (Fire and gas alarm panel vendor representative) to get a soft copy and track the actions in the daily commissioning meetings.
  2. Get Drager out IMMEDIATELY to calibrate the hexane sensor that is faulty.
  3. The vendor will only return the Iran once EVERY SINGLE reservation is complete, but we can actually start up with parts of the system not yet operational. Therefore finalise the details of the test method and commissioning WITHOUT the vendor presence (i.e. before his return)

  1. Get toolbox talks and safety committees up and running. They will take their topics from the daily commissioning meetings.
  2. Create mail distribution groups for production and maintenance (including for Firmco).

A23 Building lighting in operation and sufficient FINAL illumination report required for the following:

  • Buildings
  • Control room
  • Substation
  • Plant areas
  • Bagging line

ASPC issued a preliminary report some time ago for the plant areas, and lux levels were too low in some places.
Also, some of the lights around the recycle gas compressor are not flameproof so must be removed for start-up, and will probably lead to even worse lux levels.
Testing to be done on Wednesday 19 September 19h00, and a report to be issued for ALL 5 areas by the next meeting.
Note that action B8 (the same thing for emergency lighting) also must be done.

  • 1506 at 2nd flor extrusion (switch/knob broken)
  • Also, ASPC wants to have the numbers for calling from one field unit to another field unit(?).

B8 Emergency lighting available and checked, including in control rooms and power stations Sazeh has to submit inspection reports. Requirements:

  • Issue drawings to show locations of all emergency lights. These should be in all the same locations as for normal lights, that is:
    • Buildings
    • Control room
    • Substation
    • Plant areas
    • Bagging line

  • Identify all emergency lighting with appropriate symbols.
  • Carry out a live test of the diesel generator by switching all the incoming power off and see if the emergency lights come on, and check at the same time that the correct lights come one (the marked ones). Sazeh must do this since they are doing the switching. Do the test at 18h00 to see if the switching works, and leave on until 19h00 to do the lux meter readings. The test method to be approved by ASPC.

Note: IPF stands for instrument protective functions and denotes an instrument that inherently limits the protection system requirements (e.g. a control valve trim that limits the sizing requirement for a PSV). Such an instrument, including its constituents, may not be changed without taking due care to ensure the protection system remains adequate.

  • Physically test must be carried out, only wiring was tested yet.

IPF devices (control valves, orifices, sensors, and actuators), data sheets, and logic specially labeled:

  • P&ID’s already indicate IPF devices.
  • Logic has been said to be done. Who said so?
  • Data sheets to be marked up.
  • Devices in the field to be specially tagged. ASPC to design a label and install on the IPF instruments.

If necessary, consider waiting till after start-up with the IPF labeling and use the MOC procedure as protection mechanism to prevent illegal changes to IPF-instruments. Peter Mennell to enter discussions with Dag Peiffer.
Checklists for regular checks must be created. This is present in the final documentation.
