2.8.3 The BP CHP Instrument Air system is backed up by Nitrogen, which is initiated
when pressure falls below 85 psig as described below. (Note that the Utility Air
system is blocked off at 90 psig).
The following is the sequence of events that will occur from a falling utility and
instrument air header pressure:
110 psig: Normal operating pressure
100 psig: PSL-23, utility air receiver low pressure
98 psig: Utility air low pressure from compressor discharge starts the spare
Centac compressor
95 psig: PL-91, instrument air low pressure alarm
90 psig: PV1122 closes flow to the Utility air header.
90 psig: PV-10 closes off utility air to the refinery to preserve instrument
air(when in use)
85 psig: PV-289 opens nitrogen into the instrument air system
80 psig: PV-11 open bypassing the IA dryer

2.9 NITROGEN
2.9.1 Nitrogen is available from the refinery header at the following pressures:

Minimum Operating Pressure: psig 150

Normal Operating Pressure: psig 175
Maximum Operating Pressure: psig 185

NOTES:
* 15Kg tank is used ONLY to feed the APSA5 air distillation process, and is only available to act
as emergency supply using manual crossover valve. Air Liquide Technician must be involved to
activate this crossover to supply BP high purity N2 header system.
* 1 gal LN2 = 93.11 SCF of gaseous N2 (1 atmosphere, 70F)
** This system supplies separate lower N2 purity header for tank blanketing only, and not the
main BP high purity N2 header.

2.13 SEWERS
Cherry Point Refinery has an Oily Water Sewer (OWS) and a segregated Clean Water
Sewer. The ISBL Oily Water Sewer must be designed to collect run-off from inside the
