Receivers R403 and R404 experience decrease in levels An emergency alarm which can detect low level should be installed in the flash separator as well as the downcomer.

The pipes S-6 and S-12 should be regularly maintained

There needs to be a regular cleaning process which will also facilitate the frequent clearing of any salt crystals

The downcomer needs to be inspected frequently, along with the pipes that lead to the 403 receivers and the 403. It is recommended that it takes place every 6 months.

The receivers R403 and R404 should be fitted with flow indicators.

The K200 flash separator exhibits high levels An emergency alarm which can detect low level should be installed in the flash separator as well as the downcomer.

The valve V201 should be maintained at regular intervals

Provide the employees with quality and adequate training, so that they can have a better understanding of when to open or close the valve

The pipes S-6 and S-12 experience a pressure build up which increases the risk of damage and leakage.

It is vital to always ensure the valves are opened fully to reduce the increased deposits of salt crystal inside.

Salt crystals waste

Only a few salt crystals make it to R404 and R404, which is why they showcase lower level Pipes S-6 and S-12 should be maintained and inspected frequently

The pipes S-6 and S-12 experience a pressure build up which increases the risk of damage and leakage.

Only a few samples can be retrieved from R403 and R404

A flow indicator should be attached to the sampling receiver R404 and bled down on R403

The valves should be maintained regularly cleaning them frequently

The K200 flash separator exhibits high levels An emergency alarm which can detect low level should be installed in the flash separator as well as the downcomer.

Valve V2001 should be maintained at regular intervals

Provide the employees with quality and adequate training, so that they can have a better understanding of when to open or close the valve

The pipes S-6 and S-12 experience a pressure build up which increases the risk of damage and leakage.

Salt crystals waste The pipes should be cleaned and maintained at all times

The salt crystals should be removed frequently

The pipes S-6 and S-12 experience a pressure build up which increases the risk of damage and leakage.

The K200 exhibits high levels Valves should undergo regular maintenance

E4.1

Receivers R403 and R404 experience decrease in levels

The K200 exhibits increased levels A4.1 The downcomer and the pipes making way to the R403 and R404 receivers should undergo frequent inspection. This should be at least once every 6 months.

There is a reduced collection of salt crystals from the samples obtained in R403 and R404

The pipeline is at risk of damage due to increased pressure The pressure indicators PI400, PI401, PI402 and PI403 should be maintained frequently

E5.1 Possibility of the experiencing reverse flow or no flow. A5.1 The downcomer and the pipes making way to the R403 and R404 receivers should undergo frequent inspection. This should be at least once every 6 months.

Increased extraction of the salt crystals in samples from R403 and R404 The pressure indicators PI400, PI401, PI402 and PI403 should be maintained frequently

E6.1 Decreased receiver level A6.1 The downcomer and the pipes making way to the R403 and R404 receivers should undergo frequent inspection. This should be at least once every 6 months.

E6.2 MEG loss

Decreased receiver level A6.2 None

E6.3 Decreased receivers levels A6.3 The pressure should be adjusted in the flash separator

Slurry flowing out of K200 has decreased viscosity

MEG appears degraded.

MEG is flashed

The boiling water is producing a lot of steam

Pipeline is becoming damaged The rig should feature an extra addition of a sprinkler to act as a fire extinguisher in case one occurs.

A8.1 The downcomer and pipes which drain towards 403 receivers and 403 should be inspected regularly, at least once every six months. A7.2 See A7.1

Crystallization is not taking place as the MEG, water and salt solution are not getting flashed

K200 is experiencing high levels

The MEG solution is wasted since the Salt crystals coating the MEG were not washed off, therefore there is economic loss. None

E8.1 The freezing water poses a risk of pipeline damage. A8.1

The downcomer and the pipes making way to the R403 and R404 receivers should undergo frequent inspection. This should be at least once every 6 months.

E9.1 It is likely that fouling will increase The downcomer and the pipes making way to the R403 and R404 receivers should undergo frequent inspection. This should be at least once every 6 months.

There is no sample needed from R403 and R404

This is because the pipes S-12 and S-16 may start leaking pipe S-6 should be fitted with a flow indicator transmitter

The pipes should be cleaned regularly

There is no sample needed from R403 and R404

This is because the pipes S-12 and S-16 may start leaking The valves should also be fitted with a flow indicator transmitter

The valves should be open

the valves should be regularly cleaned

There is no sample needed from R403 and R404

This is because the pipes S-12 and S-16 may start leaking the valves should be regularly maintained

The valves should also be fitted with a flow indicator transmitter

The slurry should not be extracted into R403 and R404 A Speed Indicator SIC should be fitted on pump J200

The pump J200 should be maintained regularly

There is a decrease in the pipe diameter, therefore only a minimal flow can get through

R404 and R403 seem to hold a reduced amount of salt crystals leading to a minimum collection A flow indicator should be fitted on pipe S-6 and S- 12

The R403 and R404 should be fitted with a Low Switch Level

pipe S-6 and S-12 should be cleaned regularly

R404 and R403 seem to hold a reduced amount of salt crystals leading to a minimum collection The R403 and R404 should be fitted with a Low Switch Level

The valves should be cleaned and opened.

Salt crystals are washed away This leads to MEG waste, hence bringing about economic consequences

R404 and R403 seem to hold a reduced amount of salt crystals leading to a minimum collection The R403 and R404 should be fitted with a Low Switch Level

the valves V433 and V434 should be closed

The salt is slight washed off

There is still an occurrence of MEG loss, leading to economic loss

The salt loop experiences a high composition since the salt quickly falls off.

The downcomer, therefore, experiences Less NaCl. A level alarm low and level transmitter should be introduced in the sections featuring NaCl

E11.1

R403 and R404 Receivers experience high levels A11.1

The flash separator pressure should be adjusted.

R403 and R404 experience overflow

The pipes experience high rates of fouling/ Sedimentation triggering the high salt levels in the K200 flash separator The R403 and R404 should be fitted with a Level Switch High

R404 and R403 experience more sample flow

The pipes experience high rates of fouling/ Sedimentation triggering the high salt levels in the K200 flash separator Valves V409, V411 should be regularly cleaned

Salt takes some time before falling into the tank

An overflow is expected at the downcomer

The downcomer experiences an increase in NACl The sections filled with NaCl should be fitted with level transmitters

Salt is washed off completely

MEG wastage is still experienced, leading to economic loss

There is a high composition salt loop since it tends to fall at a rather fast rate The sections filled with NaCl should be fitted with level transmitters

The downcomer should be regularly maintained

E10.1

R403 and R404 receivers experience a decreased level

K200 flash separator experiences increased levels A10.1

The downcomer and the pipes making way to the R403 and R404 receivers should undergo frequent inspection. This should be at least once every 6 months.

The K200 and the receivers R403 and R404 should be fitted with level indicators and alarms.

The K200 flash separator has vapour that can easily be sparked and ignited Grounding points should be identified and pinpointed all through the downcomer

K200 is challenged by a rise in pressure which increases the risk of MEG degradation
