2.3 Operational Procedure Product unloading to Jetty or product export to Petkim

The correct tank(s), with sufficient on spec product inventory to dispatch the cargo volume or
exporting product to Petkim, will be manually lined-up by the tank farm operating personnel. The
Tank inlet valves will be closed and locked during the unloading and/or transfer procedure.
Custody transfer flow measurement totalizer value will be reset prior starting the unloading and/or
transfer operation. There will be a totalizer for each product in DCS (hence with graphic pages)
with multiple reset options (each load, per shift, per day, per month, per user defined, etc.). A
Historian Database will store these data in the DCS.
For jetty unloading operations, after the pump(s) in the tank-farm are manually started and
positive pressure has been established on the transfer line, the motor operated valves (at the jetty
area) in this line, will be opened and the unloading operation will start. With the current design
there will be no flow control on these services and the control operator will have to control the
required flow to the ship by controlling the minimum flow line.
Upon completion of the loading operation the MOV’s in the transfer line will be manually closed,
upon which the final value of the respective flow totalizer will be recorded and transferred to the
logistics department for inventory control and accounting purposes.
For Petkim transfer operations, after the pumps in the tank-farm are manually started and positive
pressure has been established on the transfer line the valves in the line to Petkim, will be opened
and the export operation will start. With the current design there will be no flow control on these
services and the control operator will have to control the required flow to the Petkim site by
controlling the minimum flow line manually.
Signals from the respective MOV’s, loading arms and running signals of the pump(s) shall be
interlocked and connected to the metering skid PLC. The following automatic loading philosophy
will be implemented. Jetty Control Operator will specify the loading amount, respective meter,
loading rate, and the loading arm through DCS. The system will receive the permissive from the
MOVs, the loading arm and the confirmation that the pump is running with minimum flow line open
to the respective tank. Then the system will ramp up the loading rate within a
reasonable/calculated time, continue loading, ramp down the loading rate at the end and stop
loading.
Upon completion of the export operation, the manual valves in the transfer line will be closed by
the tank farm operating personnel, upon which the final value of the respective flow totalizer will
be recorded and transferred to the logistics department for inventory control and accounting
purposes.
Testing, calibration and certification of the flowmeters shall only be performed by accredited
persons from Sanayi Bakanlığı, Ölçü ve Ayarlar Müdürlüğü Each metering skid shall be designed
according to the directive of ‘Ölçü ve Ölçü Aletleri Muayene Yönetmenliği’ with regard to testing,
calibration, certification, reporting and accessibility possibilities and facilities.

6 WEIGH BRIDGES / TRUCK SCALES
6.1 Description of function

Weigh bridges are required for final products which depart the refinery per truck. Permanent
mounted load cells in concrete foundation are used for measuring the weight of entire vehicles
with and without their content. A local PC-network shall be available with comprehensive
identification, registration, accounting, ticketing and reporting possibilities, which is connected to
the Plant Network.
For a listing of weigh bridges per application, see section 6.4.
6.2 Requirements
Weigh bridge foundations will have the shape of a pit and will be prefabricated concrete elements
put on 100 mm leaning concrete. Typically the bottoms of these foundation pits are sloped and
the pit has to be connected to the Oily Water Sewer System. The pit itself is connected to the
earthing grid. The cable duct to the pit has to be watertight after the installation of the cables.
The weigh bridge deck is a prefabricated concrete element in a steel frame. At least two
manholes with heavy duty covers will be embedded in the deck. The finishing of the deck will be
non-skid. Steel frames will be hot dip galvanized.
The elevation of the top of the deck will be at top of pavement or higher.
To reduce the effect of an unequal distribution of the load within the truck, a minimum number of
loadcells is 4 per weigh bridge shall be provided. Load cells shall be connected via a summarizing
junction box to the electronic equipment and print facilities in the vicinity of the weigh bridges.
Overall accuracy +/- 5 kg based on a rated capacity of 30T
- Connected to dedicated reporting system
- Provided with comprehensive access, reporting and documentation facility.

Currently no split between jetty and truck loading has been defined, however the system should
be capable of accommodating 100% of the daily production. The table below provides the
production of each of the services. Assuming that 20 tons will be loaded per truck the number of
trucks per day can be calculated. Assuming that loading will be done for 10 hours per day the
trucks per hour can be calculated. Finally knowing the number of weigh bridges per service the
maximum loading time per service can be calculated. This time includes the process of pre-
weighing, loading and post-weighing. Available time for registration and cargo documentation will
be limited by the number of parking spaces available.

The sulphur loading bridge will be used for both solid and liquid sulphur weighing. Both the Cokes
as the Sulphur trucks will be weighed, loaded and reweighed again on the weigh bridge itselves.
The difference in weigh of the trucks will be recorded to calculate the loaded amount. This value
will be used for the preparation of the required cargo documentation, inventory control and
accounting purposes.
The total number of 4 weigh bridges for dispatching of the cokes, is not in accordance with. the
current plotplan.
A detailed logistic study shall be performed to determine the number of weigh bridge(s) for each
application.
6.4 Overview weigh bridges / truck scales

In the Sulphur Loading Area U-640 and the cokes loading unit U-643, products are dispatched via
trucks. To control and document these product streams, permanently installed weigh bridges in
the concrete foundation are required. Miscellaneous weigh bridge measurements, such as
catalyst, waste materials, are not taken into consideration and may require an additional Weigh
Bridge.
An overview of the Weigh Bridges per product stream , is summarized in Table 6.4 below:
