6. PROCESS DESIGN CRITERIA
6.1. GENERAL NOTES
All design pressures shall be rounded up to next integer. All design temperatures shall be
rounded up to the next 5ºC increment. Piping subject to sub-atmospheric pressure shall be
designed for full vacuum.
If a specific design code establishes the guidelines to follow to define design conditions for
some services or applications, it must be followed if it is providing more restrict requirements
from those stated in the present document.
The design pressure of a line will be the same throughout it unless there is equipment or a
safety valve installed. That is, the reduction of pressure due to head loss or control valves
must not be considered when defining the design pressure.
In those cases where there are several operation cases, the maximum operating pressure of
any scenario along with the maximum operating temperature of any case will be
conservatively considered (non-coincident scenario) for calculating design conditions.
For pumps and compressors, the suction lines from and including the suction valve shall
have the same design pressure as on the discharge side which applies specific calculation
value as mentioned in section 6.2 (for compressors) and 6.5 (for centrifugal pumps).
6.2. LINES CONNECTED TO PRESSURE EQUIPMENT
This case regards to lines connecting to pressure equipment (tank, vessel, compressor, etc)
(i.e. pump suction pipelines).
Design Pressure:
Design pressure will be adopted as the biggest of the following values:
• 3.5 barg
IDO-L.18.001-1212-EBD-3000_Rev 0
Page 8
• Maximum pressure at equipment (it will be considered the design pressure of the
equipment, the safety/relief valve set pressure if applicable, or, in the case of
atmospheric tanks, the static pressure caused in by the maximum liquid level), plus
the static pressure caused by height difference between the lowest liquid elevation in
the tank/vessel and the lowest pipe elevation. In case of multiple pressure limiting
devices, the lowest set pressure shall be adopted.
Design Temperature:
Design temperature will be adopted as the equipment maximum operating temperature plus
10 ºC. As a minimum, design temperature will be adopted as 50 ºC.
6.3. LINES CONNECTING TO AN EXTERNAL SUPPLY OR TO A TOP
This case regards to lines connecting to an external supply (i.e. natural gas network) or a
package supply (i.e. process unit).
Design Pressure:
When a design pressure is provided for the connecting external or package supply line or to a
TOP, this value will be adopted as design pressure increased by the elevation difference
between the connecting terminal point and the lowest pipe elevation (only for liquid service).
When an operating pressure is provided for the connecting external or package supply line
(in case there are several operating scenarios it will be selected the maximum operating
pressure), the design pressure will be adopted as:
PDESIGN = POPERATING+P+Z > 3.5 barg
Where:
POPERATING= External or package supply operating pressure (barg)
P=0.1* POPERATING (in any case 1.1 bar as a minimum) (bar)
IDO-L.18.001-1212-EBD-3000_Rev 0
Page 9
Z= Height difference between the connecting terminal point and the lowest pipe elevation
(only for liquid service) in bar
Design pressure will be 3.5 barg as a minimum.
Design Temperature:
When a design temperature is provided for the connecting external or package supply line or
to a TOP, this value will be adopted.
When an operating temperature is provided for the connecting external or package supply
line (maximum operating temperature in case there are several operating scenarios), the
design temperature will be adopted as:
TDESIGN = TOPERATING+10ºC ≥ 50ºC
TOPERATING= External or package maximum supply operating temperature (ºC)
Design temperature will be 50ºC as a minimum.
6.4. CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS SUCTION
Design Pressure:
Design pressure will be adopted as the highest among the following values:
• 3,5 barg
• Design pressure calculated as the sum of vessel design pressure (in case it is
unknown it must be taken as safety/relief valve set pressure) or maximum liquid level
in the case of atmospheric tanks, plus the geometric elevation difference between
vessel / tank supply nozzle and the lowest suction pipe elevation (normally pump
suction)
IDO-L.18.001-1212-EBD-3000_Rev 0
Page 10
Design Temperature:
Design Temperature will be adopted as vessel / tank maximum operating temperature plus
10ºC. For vessel/tanks at ambient temperature design temperature will be defined according
to section 9.4.2.
6.5. CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS DISCHARGE
Design Pressure:
• 3.5 barg
• Design pressure calculated as the sum of pump shut-off total dynamic head (TDH) in
barg plus maximum suction pressure and increasing the result in 5% (minimum 1
bar), that is:
PDESIGN = (TDHSHUT OFF + PSUCTION MAX)*1.05
In case of lack of pump supplier information, the TDH in shut-off conditions shall be adopted
as 35% larger than design TDH for centrifugal pumps.
Design Temperature:
It will be adopted as maximum operating temperature plus 10ºC. As a minimum, design

temperature will be 50º C (i.e. services at ambient temperature).
6.6. POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMPS DISCHARGE
Design Pressure:
• 8 barg
IDO-L.18.001-1212-EBD-3000_Rev 0
Page 11
• Set pressure of pump relief valve
• Maximum operating pressure increased by 10% (in any case 1.1 bar as a minimum)
Design Temperature:
It will be adopted as maximum operating temperature plus 10ºC. As a minimum, design

temperature will be 50ºC (i.e. services at ambient temperature).
6.7. SERVICES AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
For pipes in services working at ambient temperatures not affected by any means of
temperature variation or control such as cooling towers, tracing, heat exchangers, etc, design
temperature will be adopted as:
• 40ºC for services when the fluid transported comes from underground tanks or long
underground lines (i.e gasoduct, raw water from dam, etc) up to the first aboveground
storage vessel
• 50ºC in any other case such as lines coming from aboveground storage tanks,
vessels, equipment, etc at ambient conditions.

IDO-L.18.001-1212-EBD-3000_Rev 0
Page 20
As general criteria, drains and vents will be fitted with permanent shutoff valve. In case of
drains/vents specific connections that will be used only during testing, other types of shut off
devices (i.e plugs) could be approved.
The diameter of drains and vents shall be:
PIPE DRAIN / VENT

< 2 ½” ½”
2 ½”-8” ¾”
> 8” 1”
The necessity of drains or vents to be routed to a collection point will be assessed depending

IDO-L.18.001-1212-EBD-3000_Rev 0
Page 21
T: Equal Tee
RT: Reducing Tee

7.5.10. Corrosion Protection
All un-insulated, aboveground, carbon steel piping and equipment should be painted
according to document “IDO-L.18.001-1212-ETS-2001 Especificación Técnica de Pintura”
As a minimum, carbon steel piping and equipment in direct contact with soil should be coated
(and wrapped for piping) for corrosion protection. A cathodic protection system may be
required, depending on the chemical analysis, conductivity and corrosively of the surrounding
soil. The need for a cathodic protection system and its design should be based on a review of
the site soils report data and other local conditions.
Following is a summary of the recommendations:
• The buried carbon steel piping for systems operating at positive pressure should be
coated and wrapped and a cathodic protection system should be considered.
• The buried carbon steel piping for non-pressurized systems should be coated and
wrapped.

7.6. PIPE ROUTING DESIGN CRITERIA
The following guidelines shall be considered when defining the routing of the different piping
systems:
• Piping routing shall be as direct as practicable and compatible with other design
requirements, with piping grouped, wherever possible, in banks or pipeways.
• They shall consider whatever requirement affecting their design and necessary to
ensure a safe and reliable plant operation. The following main guidelines shall be
followed:
▪ Process requirements: Piping systems should be designed in full compliance

with the requirements included in the P&IDs.
▪ Operation: The design shall ensure the proper operation of all affected
equipment, such as the instruments installed on the pipe, valves, etc.
▪ Mechanical requirements: Piping systems mustn’t impose on the connecting

equipment forces larger than allowable ones and at the same time, the
stresses generated in the piping system must be allowable according to the
design code.
▪ Safety requirements: It will be essential that the piping design ensures safe
operation.
• Piping design shall consider its subsequent supports, in such a way that the amount
and size of those is minimized, trying to use existent structures (i.e buildings) as
support to the furthest extent.
• Care shall be taken to avoid intrusions into aisles or other access areas. Special care
shall be given to emergency exit spaces.
IDO-L.18.001-1212-EBD-3000_Rev 0
Page 23
• Routing shall insure that expanding lines, including insulation, will not touch adjacent
lines, electrical conduits, or structures.
• Those elements of the piping system that are required to be accessible must be so.
Typically, an access from ground or fixed operation platform is required for those
elements with frequent access for maintenance or operation, such as:
▪ Automatic valves
▪ Safety valves
▪ Manual valves that are required to be especially accessible (i.e fire protection
system, by pass valves of control valves).
▪ Filters
▪ Electronic flow meters
• In the case of other elements, the accessibility requirements are less critical and
therefore, the access can be provided by portable or mobile platforms, ladders, etc, if
located not more than 4 m above grade.
• Cable trays and ladders shall be located at a separate level above all piping or can be
located at the top most level adjacent to utility piping. The recommended space
separation between the cable trays/ladders and utility piping will be 300 mm in
vertical, parallel and crossing directions. The recommended radial distance between
cables or ducts and liquid or gas pipes will be as far as possible and a minimum of
500 mm between the external surface of the pipe or tank.
7.7. PIPING SUPPORTS
All piping shall be properly supported, anchored and/or guided to relieve equipment and pipe
of excessive stresses and to prevent excessive vibration.
IDO-L.18.001-1212-EBD-3000_Rev 0
