ABSTRACT

Piping system in Petronas Sdn Bhd Melaka has been widely used in transmission, distribution and processing of oil and gas production. The piping system has been used in such a long time resulting of the seasoned piping system. In this condition, Petronas requires a new fabrication process on some of its piping parts. Therefore, this research presents the fabrication technique of joining parts for oil and gas piping system. In addition, there are analyses of the new fabricated product provided. The analysis process is conducted on the new fabricated product based on the design, properties and manufacturing cost. The pipe system fabrication design consists of a flange and hollow pipes as a component. A fabrication technique to fabricate a joining part has been introduced by applying mild steel and Teflon material as selected material of piping system components. Fabrication techniques referred from the component design and the dimensional requirement. This fabrication process proposes for the new product that differs from the existing product that consists of Teflon material parts only. The existing seasoned part is replaced with the new fabricated product. Investigation on fabricated product turn out the additional information compared with the existing product.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Pipe system plays a key role in the day-to-day activities while making possible the delivery of available fuels, including natural gas. They are used in a wide range of transportation services. The major and most important use of pipelines is undoubtedly the energy transportation, such as oil and natural gas [George (2003)]. An interesting use of the pipes can be found in, example, in the Malaysia- Thailand Joint Development Area (JDA), Trans Asean Pipeline system, where gas transportation lines are interconnected by a 1540 km long pipeline system.

In industry and engineering discipline, a pipe is a round-stiff tubular section of the gas system that is made of carbon steel or plastic in function of the inner, outer or nominal diameter and the wall thickness. These measures are imposed by applicable industrial standards, such as ASME/ANSI B36.10/B36.19. The size of a pipe is based on its function and may vary from around 5 cm (2 in) to over 150 cm (60 in) in diameter [Henry (2003)].

Gas pipelines are usually buried underground about 1-2 meters (3-6 ft) in lands or rights-of-way acquired by, or granted to the pipeline company. Whenever burying the pipe becomes less convenient, the strategy is to place the pipeline 5-6 feet above the ground (under strict specifications to withstand environmental conditions) in order to allow for wildlife or any other factor that might damage the pipe [Mohitpur (2007)].

In Petronas Penapisan Melaka, there are sections of operation processing, transmission and testing section. Each section was set up a piping system to operate the plant. Operations are carried out without continuously every day for gas processing and transmission because of the requirement by the customer in the power, industrial and commercial sectors throughout Peninsular and East Malaysia. However, because of the long time usage, some parts are already seasoned thereby require some fabrication of those parts.

Therefore, the aim of this study will be on the fabrication of joining parts for oil and gas piping system as shown in figure 1.1 below. The study involves with the investigation of existing products in term of design, properties, and manufacturing cost. The existing product will be redesigned with the additional of strengthening structures to improve the product. The fabrications then take place after the design is conform. The figure 1.2 below had shown the specific drawing of the parts.

The method approach of this study based on the fabrication technique for assembly the ejector part by existing product and drawing provided as a reference material. Figure 1.3 below had shown the existing product that from the ejector part that required for investigation process. Analysis of existing product design, properties and manufacturing cost will be conducted comparing with the new joining part fabrication after the fabrication process. Analysis of the result contributes to the improvement of the existing part with the new fabricated product.

This study's important to the oil and gas company where it can be a guideline for the company in implementing the suitable design and pipe fabrication processing and future work for piping fabrication. Besides that, the application of the proposed piping system can help them to increase the productivity and maintain high piping resistibility. In addition, this study's importance to become reference material for further piping development research and studying.

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Piping System

Term pipe is defined herein as a closed conduit, usually a circular cross section. It can be made of any appropriate material such as steel or plastic. The term pipeline refers to a long line connected segments of pipe, with pump valve control devices, and other equipment need for operating the system [Henry (2003)].

Piping system is a set of components including pipe, pipe fittings, flange, bolting, gasket, relief devices and the pressure retaining parts included in any stress analysis. It also includes the hangers, supports, and any other equipment necessary to prevent over stressing of the pressure retaining parts. It does not include the structure and equipment and foundations, except they may affect the stress analysis. That reason to define the design and fabrication of a system that offers a reasonable expectation of being safe when operated as intended [Philip (2005)].

When selecting a piping material for any component of piping-related system, the applicable piping code is of primary importance. Here, the allowable piping materials

had be listed as well as any restriction for their use. In addition the code will also stipulate various accepted standards that govern the manufacture, tolerance and installation of all components [Micheal (2003)].
