(1) Corrosion
(a) High-temperature sulfur service

Sulfidic corrosion is experienced in equipment and piping handling hydrocarbon
containing high-temperature organic sulfur. Formation of sulfide scale and metal loss
occurs at higher temperature. Corrosion resistance is improved by adding
chromium to steel, and 5Cr-0.5Mo steel or carbon steel clad with 13Cr steel are applied
to high-temperature sulfidic environments.

(b) High-temp. H2S service

Sulfidic corrosion is also experienced in environments containing high-temperature
H2S. Addition of chromium is also beneficial in reducing corrosion in
high-temperature H2S environment. Corrosion rate of steels in high-temp. H2S
environment should be evaluated by isocorrosion curves presented by A. S. Couper and
J.W. Gorman. Where carbon steel and Cr-Mo steel cannot be applied due to high
corrosion rates, austenitic stainless steel of stabilized grade shall be applied as solid
material or cladding material.
(c) High-temperature hydrogen service

In high-temperature hydrogen environments, steels may subject to internal
decarburization and/or surface decarburization. This internal decarburization is called
hydrogen attack and may cause severe ductility loss.
Addition of chromium and/or molybdenum are beneficial in improving the resistance to

hydrogen attack. API Recommended Practice 941, fifth edition shall be employed to
select proper materials for high-temperature hydrogen service.
(e) Amine service

Rich amine is basically corrosive. Carbon steel can, however, be used throughout the
process, because protective layer of FeS on carbon steel is made, with the following
exceptions where austenetic stainless steel shall be applied.
l Heat exchanger tubes on which surface boiling or acid gas flashing takes place
l Piping where protective layer of FeS is anticipated to be destroyed due to high
velocity of fluid.
As for cracking in the service, refer to item (2), (c).
(d) Sea water service

Tube materials for sea water cooler shall be determined on the following basis:

(2) Embrittlement or cracking
(a) Sulfide stress cracking(SSC)

Sulfide stress cracking(SSC) may occur in carbon steel and its welds which are applied
to sour service, if hardness is not controlled below certain threshold value. NACE
MR0175-02 defines the SSC regions where cracking may occur unless cares for SSC
should not be taken, and specifies the hardness limit to be controlled. Materials
selection and the necessity of PWHT shall be determined by NACE MR0175-02.

(b) Hydrogen induced cracking(HIC)

HIC is other mode of cracking, resulting from hydrogen absorbed during operation.
As mentioned above, SSC may occur at hardened areas, whereas, HIC may occur
especially in base metal of rolled steel plate which is subjected to sour service. HIC
resistant steel whose resistance to cracking is confirmed, should be applied to the
service.. Nowadays, HIC resistant steels are available in Japan USA, Europe and so
on, and being applied to vessels and welded pipe. However, no official guideline
exists which defines the environment which requires HIC resistant steel. Equipment
and piping requiring HIC resistant steel, shall be determined based on the process
conditions and past failure experiences on HIC.
(c) Amine stress cracking

Amine stress cracking may occur in HAZ carbon steel which is in contact with lean or
rich amine solutions. Reducing residual stress is beneficial for avoiding cracking, and
accordingly, PWHT or stress relieving are to be performed to reduce residual stress in
welds or bends to avoid cracking in the service.
Exception can be made for amine storage tank taking low design temperature(not more
than 70oC) and low design pressure(atmospheric pressure) into consideration.

16 BURNER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The fired heater of non-licenced unit and licenced unit shall be provided with the following burner management
system to avoid the unstable operation and be consistent with Mina Al Fahal (MAF) Refinery system.
16.1 High High or Low Low Pressure of Main Fuel Gas
To prevent unstable burning or being blown off due to extra low or high pressure respectively of main
fuel gas, an emergency isolation sequence is provided for high high or low low pressure of main fuel
gas.
16.2 Low Low Pressure of Pilot Natural Gas
To prevent unstable burning or being blown off due to extra low pressure of pilot natural gas, an
emergency isolation sequence is provided for low low pressure of pilot natural gas.
16.3 High High Level of Fuel Gas K.O. Drum
To protect furnace from liquid carryover in fuel gas, which may seriously damage, an emergency
isolation sequence is provided for high high level of fuel gas K.O. drum.
16.4 High High Pressure of Fire Box
To prevent unstable burning or being blown off due to extra high pressure of fire box, an emergency
isolation sequence is provided for high high pressure of fire box.
