Refinery Evolution of FF Technology Implementation in IOCL Refineries Year of implementation Areas of implementation Panipat Refinery Gujarat Refinery Digboi and Guwahati refinery Barauni refinery Paradip refinery 2006 FF implemented in ETP and other nonprocess units for open loops only. 2010 FF implemented during Residue upgaradation project execution for open loops only. 2010 FF implemented during MS quality upgradation project for open loops only. 2010 FF imeplemented during execution of Hydrogen unit and MS quality upgradation project for all open loops and non-critical closed loops. Under implementation FF under implementation in the whole complex of 15 MMTPA refinery for open loops and non-critical closed loops. 10

FF implementation Philosophy Fieldbus concept followed in Process units for all Open loops and non-critical closed loops Max. two closed loops are considered per segment,coexistence of open & closed in same segment High Powered Trunk with Field Barriers concept is implemented (Power Supply capability is minimum 350 ma at 25 VDC) Control on wire concept is not implemented to avoid process instability. Fieldbus junction boxes with field barrier assembly placed in SS316 Housing 18AWG Trunk Cable with a loop resistance of 44 ohms/k.m is generally used and based on segment validation by system supplier, 16 AWG is also used. 14
FF implementation Philosophy..contd Not more than 3 field barrier assemblies are considered in one segment per FFJB Chicken Foot Topology Minimum 25% spare connections for field devices are provided in each segment Each spur is Intrinsically Safe & galvanically isolated from trunk Fieldbus terminator & surge protector provided for each segment LED indicator for each spur short circuit In general, Max. Trunk Cable Length + Spur Cable Length 1900mtrs. However, based on segment validation for some cases with less number of devices, length of cable is more than 1.9KM. 15

Operational Excellence using FF Experiences During Installation & Commissioning Cost savings achieved by Reduction in cable cost Faster completion of cable laying work Less number of terminations Reduced cable ducts/ trays. Faster completion of loop checking and validation Faster uptime of instruments Less number of cabinets required Less space required for control room due to lesser cabinets Reduced erection & commissioning efforts. 17
Operational Excellence using FF Experiences During Commissioning and Operations Benefits of Interoperability. Lesser time for instrument installation/ modification Easy access to device information More information available for field devices Re-ranging from DCS is easy and faster Advance information, alarms on impending failure Easy trouble shooting 18
Challenges & Opportunities for Buyers & Sellers Proper flow of information about the installed systems across the globe. Inclination of buyers towards existing & proven technology for comfort. Cost of ownership of new technology. Gap in understanding on provenness & dependability. Sharing of Report on Failure Analysis with Diagnostic and overall impact. 19
