The system has been divided in 4 sections. I. II. III. IV. Manifold Storage & Handling Pipelines & Distribution Network (Ring main) Installation of Metering Unit at the Plot / Kitchen / Building Lobby Internal Piping after the Metering Unit to the point of useage. MANIFOLD STORAGE & HANDLING It is proposed to provide LPG through a Cylinder Manifold System. The Cylinder Manifold shall be designed in accordance with the requirement of the Gas Cylinders Rules for domestic LPG confirming to IS 4576. Manifold shall be provided with all Fittings, Pigtail, Adaptor, Fitting of the cylinders, Pressure Gauge, Safety Devise, Change Over Valve which also act as Pressure Regulator System. The Manifold should be designed in accordance as per the recommendation of IS 6044. LPG will be received in cylinders from the authorized local distributor. Manifold is so designed with two sides: a. Operative b. Stand By With the pressure in the Operative side of the Manifold reducing by virtue of consumption of the liquid LPG from Cylinders and the reduction of pressure. The Automatic Change Over Valve with change the direction of flow on the Manifold. The Operative side will now be Stand By side and the Stand by side of the Manifold shall thus become the Operative. The Authorized Distributor of the LPG has to replenish the empty Cylinders on the Stand By side with fresh filled Cylinders by disconnecting Cylinder from the Manifold by the Quick Fitting Valve. The Change Over Valve is the key of the Operative System, which automatically changes Manifold sides so as to provide a smooth transition and ensures continuous flow of product to the LPG Pipe Ring main. Contractor 40 Executive Director, APRSCL, Hyderabad DESCRIPTION IN BRIEF OF THE PROJECT PIPELINE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IN THE COMPLEX ( RINGMAIN) The system is basically 3 stage pressure regulation system with first stage as OPSO , second stage as UPSO/OPSO and third stage as UPSO regulation system. The pressure will reduce from manifold cylinder pressure to 1 kg/cm2 in the first stage regulator and thereafter at the building level the pressure will further reduce to 250 to 350 mmwc by second stage regulator. The third stage regulator will be at the kitchen level wherein the outlet pressure will be 28 milibar. After the PRS 1 the system will be connected to ringmain. The pipelines will be laid above ground and where ever underground laying is necessary it will be with suitable protective coating to prevent any external corrosion. Wherever there is road crossing, pipeline shall be protected by hume pipes of suitable rating. Pipeline markers shall be provided at regular intervals throughout the piping route. The entire distribution piping shall be of ERW MS pipe class “C” conforming to heavy class IS:1239 coated with anticorrosive coats. To connect each flat/plot with these distribution pipelines, will be provided alongside the building. The risers shall be of 3/4” dia and from the risers a tapping of ½” dia will be connected to the kitchen. Each riser shall be connected with isolation ball valve. METERING UNIT Each Metering Unit will have a ½” tapping from the riser . This will be connected to a pressure regulator which will reduce the pressure 28 m bar which is the pressure required for the gas stoves. An isolation valve is provided at the inlet of the Metering Unit to attend to any maintenance and in the event of any emergency and as well at the outlet. This regulator will be equipped with an under pressure shut-off (UPSO) to cut off the supply of LPG gas in the event of rupture of suraksha hose. A Gas Flow Meter will be provided in the kitchen plot boundary to measure the quantity of gas consumed for billing purpose. The gas meter will be suitably protected in an asthetically designed metallic box and securely fixed on the wall of the kitchen. After the gas meter Quarter Turn Ball Valve will be provided for easy stoppage of the gas and isolating the system. The ½ “ line will be taken above platform level inside the kitchen till 1 m of the hotplate placing location. The termination of pipeline shall be with a Quarter Turn Isolating Valve. Contractor 41 Executive Director, APRSCL, Hyderabad DESCRIPTION IN BRIEF OF THE PROJECT The entire system is installed as per IS 6044 part-1, NFPA-58 and HPCL standards, to ensure the safety of the system. HPCL will rigorously and regularly monitor the installation at all stages till its completion and testing to ensure the correct workmanship and adherence to standard practice. Safety features: To ensure complete safety with continuous supply of LPG to all users, the following equipment is used in the reticulated system: 1) Auto-Changeover Regulator with inbuilt OPSO: Besides its function of automatically switching the source of supply from the empty LPG bank to the filled-LPG bank, the auto-changeover regulator is also the FIRST PRESSURE REDUCING STAGE (PRS1) due to its in-built pressure regulating feature. Here, it reduces the LPG pressure to 1.2bar. Also this will have OPSO devise inbuild in case of failure of the PRS 1 The gas supply from manifold to the ringmain will stop. 2)PRS 2 : UPSO and OPSO: The UPSO / OPSO valve with its inbuilt pressure regulator and bleeder arrangement is used for additional safety after the 1st stage pressure reduction. This is the SECOND PRESSURE REDUCING STAGE (PRS2). It automatically stops the supply of LPG if the pressure increases above the desired set limit (1-1.2 bar) downstream of the second pressure reducing stage. Similarly in case the pressure is decreasing below the set limit in the downstream the UPSO will switch off the gas supply to the risers. In case of this happening, the authorized personnel from the gas company re-start the system after making necessary changes. 3)Under-Pressure Shut-Off Valve (UPSO): The UPSO with its built pressure regulator is installed before the gas meter. It regulates the LPG pressure to 28-mbar pressure. This is the THIRD PRESSURE REDUCING STAGE (PRS3). It also automatically stops the supply of gas if the flexible suraksha hose connected to the appliance ruptures or if it is not connected properly. LPG supply is also stopped downstream of the UPSO if the copper piping after the meter gets punctured. The UPSO has a reset knob on the top, which is pushed to restart the supply of LPG after taking corrective measures. 4) Manifold: The number of LPG Cylinders is calculated on the basis of evaporation rate of the cylinder (vapour withdrawal rate), average hourly consumption and other relevant factors. Once the number of cylinders is decided, they are connected together with the manifold. The manifold consists of two arms which are connected with equal number of cylinders. While one arm is always active, the other is in standby position. Material of Construction and Components used in the Manifold: Contractor 42 Executive Director, APRSCL, Hyderabad a) The manifold is made out of Schedule-40, CS Seamless hot-finished pipes conforming to ASTM A-106 Grade 'B'. The MECV (left hand thread manifold nipples) made out of forged steel, are welded to the main header pipe for connecting manifold accessories. The inter distance of the MECV Nipples is 9" . Cylinders may be arranged in standard/staggered manner on one horizontal plane or in two tiers. b) Non-Return Valves are used at all entries of the manifold. The NRV is made out of forged brass. The role of an NRV is to restrict the reverse flow of LPG from the manifold. Thus in case of a hose getting ruptured (connected between the NRV and Cylinder Adapter) excessive LPG leakage will be avoided. c) Heavy-duty steel re-inforced, made out of Nitrile rubber (chemically resistant to LPG) Pigtails (HPCL approved Suraksha) are used for connecting cylinders to the Manifold. d) Excess Flow Check Valves are used to automatically stop the excessive flow (above designed and set flow rate) of LPG at the downstream of the manifold due to any reason (malfunctioning of Auto-changeover regulator, OPSO Valve or rupture of pipelines). The EFCV is made out of brass with pre-defined helical spring and disc inside the valve. The EFCVs are approved from Chief Controller of Explosives and certified by a third party approved competent agency. e) Antistatic Fire Safe designed API approved CS Isolation Ball Valves with all internals in SS-304 of suitable pressure rating are fitted at the ends of the manifold. These valves are normally in open condition and quick shut off type with very low torque. In case of any emergency or repair/maintenance of the system valves can be easily closed to disconnect the supply of LPG downstream of the manifold. 5) Piping: After PRS II, M.S 'C' Class ERW Pipes conforming to IS: 1239 part-1 are used for main header and riser. These pipes are preferably exposed and above ground. If necessary or unavoidable (like in road crossing etc) then pipes are taken through hume pipes at sufficient depth and doubly wrapped and coated by suitable anti-corrosive material. Flanges and joints are avoided in road crossings. Flanges are however avoided throughout the piping. If necessary, only slip-on raised face ASA class#150 flanges with steel wire re-inforced spiral wound asbestos gaskets (3mm thick) are used. The entire piping is protected against corrosion by applying a double coat of Zn-Chromate Red oxide primer and two coats of synthetic enamel paint of approved colour. The pipes are anchored suitably to avoid sagging and creeping. The riser pipes are rigidly supported in such a manner that they are accessible from all sides for painting and visual inspection. The risers are provided with quick shut-off type isolation valve at the bottom and at an accessible location to disconnect the kitchen of a particular block/tower for maintenance and repair work. Valves of a riser may also be closed during any emergency. Valves should be enclosed in a suitable structural enclosure to avoid mishandling. All the weldings and bends will be thru use of proper sockets , bends – only socket welding is allowed throughout the line.
