2) The surface shall be restored to meet the specified surface preparation requirements for cleanliness and profile.

3) As indicated in Figure 1, successive coats of multi-coat systems shall be "stepped" outward onto the pre-existing coating from the bare metal. The repair area may be rectangular or square depending on the dimensions of the exposed metal and shall be accomplished in no fewer than two masking steps.

4) The coating to be overlapped shall be abraded and edge-feathered into the adjacent bare spot.

5) Feathering shall be accomplished with #80 grit abrasive cloth/paper. Surface abrasion shall be

accomplished by hand sanding or by abrasive blasting using reduced nozzle pressure (4 ± ½ Pa) with a fine grit (U.S. standard sieve size #80-#120 [ASTM E 11]).

6) A "fringe" of abraded original coating will be visible when the masking is removed.

10.2. Repair of Immersion Coatings and Linings

In addition to the general repair requirements listed in the preceding section, the following repair criteria apply:

1) Where holiday testing of linings reveal pinholes, the lining at the affected spots shall be removed with a rotary burr to expose the substrate.

2) Vacuum blast-type equipment and masking shall be used to prevent damage to adjacent coated areas.

10.3. Damaged Repair of Hot-dipped Galvanizing

10.3.1. Minor Damage

For weld repair and minor damage:

1) Clean the damaged area per SSPC SP 11.

2) [A]Touch-up with two individual coats of organic zinc-rich coating having a zinc dust loading of not less than 92% zinc in the dry film, such as ZRC "Galvilite" or ZRC "Cold Galvanizing Compound", Zinga, or EMEPMI -approved equivalent. Coating Manufacturer's application instructions shall be followed.




MPDS 29-02-02 REV 1



3) Apply the specified topcoat.

10.3.2. Major Damage

For major galvanized repair larger than 0.1 m2:

1) Abrasive blast clean damaged area to SSPC SP 10.

2) Sand intact galvanized surface to a feathered edge.

3) Spray-apply a coat of zinc-rich epoxy primer per Table A–1 to a dry film thickness of 60 µm minimum; 100 µm maximum.

4) Apply the specified topcoat.

(2) Urethane topcoat may be deleted for surfaces under fireproofing.

(3) Surfaces to be coated with an intumescent epoxy shall be primed, fireproofed, and topcoated as recommended by the intumescent fireproofing Manufacturer. See MPDS 70-01-05. TSA shall not be used under fireproofing.

(4) The lower of the inlet or outlet temperature shall be used to select the coating system for each side of heat exchangers.

(5) Individual components of skid-mounted units shall be coated as noted for each item listed in this schedule or as allowed by Note 23.

(6) Faying surfaces of painted steel members designed for high-strength bolting in friction-type joints shall be primed only. The primer shall be certified by the Coating Manufacturer to have been rated by testing to provide the slip class required by the structural design (Class A or B). Do not paint galvanized faying surfaces.

(7) Paint used for shop marking and materials identification shall be compatible with subsequent finish coats.

(8) Identification numbers shall be placed on all plant equipment (pipe, vessels, pumps, exchangers, etc.) and shall correspond to the P&I Diagram numbers. Lettering or stenciling shall be a minimum of 50 mm high and shall be of a contrasting color. Incoming and existing line service shall be identified in a similar manner; 25 mm or smaller lettering is acceptable. Stencil color shall be distinctly different color from background paint.

(9) The following requirements apply to the exterior of storage tanks:

a. On tank roofs that are painted white, an area 1.6 m in diameter surrounding gauging hatches shall be painted black with the urethane finish for the system listed in Table B–1.

b. Storage tanks shall be inscribed with the date of painting and/or cleaning. Letters 25 mm high, with 3 mm stroke characters and numerals shall be painted on the tank with the red urethane finish for the system listed in Table B–1.

Table B–1 Notes

c. Inscriptions shall be as follows:

i. "SHELL PAINT (date) " shall be painted on the shell 200 mm above the edge of the manhole cover closest to the product inlet and outlet nozzles. The inscription shall straddle the vertical centerline of the manhole.

ii. "ROOF PAINTED (date) " shall be painted 25 mm above the inscription given in item (i.).

iii. "CLEANED (date) " shall be painted on the manhole cover 150 mm above the centerline.

iv. "INTERIOR LINED (date) " shall be painted 25 mm above the inscription given in Item (ii.)

The date in each inscription shall consist of the month and year only, in that order, and both shall be indicated in numbers (e.g., "7-02" for July 2002).

d. See Note 8. An identification number shall be painted on each tank in a location readily visible to plant operators.

(10) Do not paint stainless instrument & control tubing.

(11) See MPDS 66-01-03.

(12) If an economic evaluation determines that the Cathodic Protection System alone is more cost effective, the coating system may be deleted.

(13) Note 13 not used.

(14) Apply broadcast-type skid-resistant coating material in two stages. To avoid excess build-up, apply using ¾-1 cm nap phenolic core roller. Broadcast grit into 1st layer. Broadcast skid-resistant #30-#40

Al2O3 @ 0.2 ± 0.05 kg/m². Sweep up excess when dry enough to walk on, Then seal with 2nd (top) layer.

(15) Apply TSA in accordance with MPDS 29-02-07. In those instances where an option is allowed in

Table B–1, System D is preferred. However, the alternative coating system may be used if design life

is less than 15 years or economic analysis proves the alternate system to be more economical during the life cycle.

(16) Refer to MPDS 29-01-35 for stainless steel operating temperature limits. Upstream stainless steels used include 304/316/300 Series Austenitic Stainless Steel, 22Cr Duplex, 25 Cr Super Duplex, and 6 Mo Super Austenitic.

(17) [*] Field Joints shall be blast cleaned and coated with the systems specified in Table B–1 or faster curing systems, such as Specialty Polymer Coating SP 2888, SP 3888, or Denso Protal 7200.

Alternative epoxy materials for underground piping must be approved by EMEPMI.

(18) [*] For internal surfaces of cooling water lines, surfaces shall be blast cleaned to SSPC SP 5 and coated with Plasite 4550 S, Tyco Adhesives Powercrete R-95, or Industrial Environmental Coatings 376F-60 to

a DFT of 1100 µm (43 mils) minimum and 1700 µm (67 mils) maximum. Application shall be by the method of spray recommended by the Coating Manufacturer except for field repairs. Diameters below 26 NPS require flanged construction with all welds fully accessible for blast cleaning and coating. Alternative Bis A or Bis F epoxy glass flake materials for application to cooling water IDs must be

approved by EMEPMI.

Table B–1 Notes

(19) The extent of coating is as follows: Sheet Piles – all surfaces both sides except the interlocking groove; Pipe Piles – exterior surface only from top of pile to at least 3 meters below the mud line. Additional coating length may be required to achieve cathodic protection for the pile structure and/or adjacent structure.

(20) Stencil "Lined Vessel - No Hot Work" in characters at least 8 cm high on side of tank or, for ballast tanks, on deck. This caution should be within 1 meter of each personnel entry hatch.

(21) Commence blasting and coating work only after completion of all "hot work," both within the tank and on exterior surfaces of substrates that will be coated on their interiors.

(22) Coat entire tank bottom and lowest 1 meter of sides.

(23) Refinish components and equipment delivered with Vendor's standard factory finish with System "L."

* Assigned to paragraphs that require the Company Representative to provide additional information or make a decision.

A Assigned to paragraphs that require approval from the Company Representative before the work may proceed or the design is finalized.

C Assigned to paragraphs whose primary purpose is reduced costs. Reduced cost in this context refers to initial investment cost and does not include life cycle cost considerations. Life cycle cost considerations are captured under reliability, maintainability, or operability purpose codes.

E Assigned to paragraphs whose primary purpose is driven by environmental considerations. Environmental considerations typically include specifications intended to protect against emissions/leakage to the air, water, and/or soil. Deviations from the specifications contained in such paragraphs require formal review and approval according to local environmental policy.

O Assigned to paragraphs whose primary purpose is to assure operability of equipment or systems. Operability is the ability of the equipment/system to perform satisfactorily even though conditions are off-design, such as during start-ups, process swings, subcomponent malfunction, etc.

R Assigned to paragraphs whose primary purpose is to improve or assure the reliability of equipment or systems. Reliability is a measure of the ability of equipment/systems to operate without malfunction or failure between planned maintenance interventions.

S Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications/guidance where the primary purpose is the avoidance of incidents impacting personnel safety, operational safety, and the public in general and/or involving responses to emergency situations. Any deviation from the specifications contained in such designated paragraphs requires formal review and approval according to local safety policy.

X Assigned to paragraphs that have been deleted in their entirety from the GP base-document, and not replaced when developing the MPDS. The associated Rationale content has been deleted as appropriate. The statement “Intentionally Deleted” has been added to the original GP item number to retain the GP base-document structure. The GP base-document and revision are listed on the front page of this MPDS as well as all page footers. The deleted paragraphs and requirements therein were not applicable to the MPDS at the time of MPDS development. Subsequent revisions of the GP shall be compared against this MPDS to ensure that GP updates are properly incorporated into the next revision of the MPDS,

including a review of deleted paragraphs to ensure the deletion is still valid.

Y Assigned to paragraphs that have been modified from the GP base-document when developing the MPDS. These modifications may include partial deletion of text from a specific requirement. The changes identified are of a technical nature, affecting the clause of the MPDS (compared to the GP base-document). Clerical changes, such as replacement of "GP" with "MPDS" or "Company" with "EMEPMI" are not identified. The GP base-document and revision are listed on the front page of this MPDS as well as all page footers. Specific project requirements have been written into the GP base-document paragraph. Subsequent revisions of the GP shall be compared against this MPDS to ensure that GP updates are properly incorporated into the next revision of the MPDS. The specific project requirements embedded in the GP base-document paragraphs shall be retained in subsequent revisions of the MPDS unless otherwise superseded by requirements in the GP. Alternately,

they may be removed via the appropriate deviation process.

Z Assigned to paragraphs that have been added to the GP base-document. The GP base-document and revision are listed on the front page of this MPDS as well as all page footers. The paragraph numbers assigned shall add onto the GP base-document structure. Therefore, subsequent revisions of the GP shall be compared against this MPDS to ensure that GP updates are properly incorporated into the next revision of the MPDS. All additional paragraphs in this MPDS shall be included in subsequent revisions of the MPDS unless otherwise superseded by requirements in the GP. Alternately, they may be removed via the appropriate deviation process.
