| Scope | The company invites bids for the provision of consultancy services for thermal design of the existing crude oil pipeline which required to transport the country crude oil at elevated temperatures. The overall objective of the assignment is to enable the company obtain a thorough review of the pipeline and proposed changes if any through a comprehensive review of the design by carrying out thermal design for 18 inch crude oil pipeline. Consultant scope is to carry out full study the current situation and advise modifications required to ensure safe and reliable crude oil transfer. Consultant is required to: • Determine if the pipeline can transport crude oil at 80 deg c from Changamwe to KOT tanks without deposition of wax/nor freezing. • Determine if heating of the linepipe is required, and if so advise: o How much heat to be applied? o What s the Optimal heat required to be applied apply? o What is best mode of heating? o What is the method of control of heating process; measurement of same? where to apply?. • Determine if insulation is required? what type/quality of insulation; what insulating properties? How Much insulation? • Advise on optimal types and quality of Thermal insulation. Give actual materials and sources available for implementation. • Determine the expansion properties of the pipe in relation to new hot service and advise if the pipeline will be able to carry the product reliably? • Advise how expansion can be taken care of? • Advise Impact of any Thermal stresses, and how to mitigate?. • Determine if the material of original pipe can safely accommodate the new service. |
