    PREFACE

    PETRONAS Technical Standards (PTS) publications reflect the views, at the time of publication, of PETRONAS OPUs/Divisions. They are based on the experience acquired during the involvement with the design, construction, operation and maintenance of processing units and facilities. Where appropriate they are based on, or reference is made to, national and international standards and codes of practice. The objective is to set the recommended standard for good technical practice to be applied by PETRONAS' OPUs in oil and gas production facilities, refineries, gas processing plants, chemical plants, marketing facilities or any other such facility, and thereby to achieve maximum technical and economic benefit from standardisation. The information set forth in these publications is provided to users for their consideration and decision to implement. This is of particular importance where PTS may not cover every requirement or diversity of condition at each locality. The system of PTS is expected to be sufficiently flexible to allow individual operating units to adapt the information set forth in PTS to their own environment and requirements. When Contractors or Manufacturers/Suppliers use PTS they shall be solely responsible for the quality of work and the attainment of the required design and engineering standards. In particular, for those requirements not specifically covered, it is expected of them to follow those design and engineering practices which will achieve the same level of integrity as reflected in the PTS. If in doubt, the Contractor or Manufacturer/Supplier shall, without detracting from his own responsibility, consult the Principal. The right to use PTS rests with three categories of users:

    1) PETRONAS and its affiliates. 2) Other parties who are authorised to use PTS subject to appropriate contractual

    arrangements. 3) Contractors/subcontractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers under a contract with users

    referred to under 1) and 2) which requires that tenders for projects, materials supplied or - generally - work performed on behalf of the said users comply with the relevant standards.

    Subject to any particular terms and conditions as may be set forth in specific agreements with users, PETRONAS disclaims any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage (including injury or death) suffered by any Company or person whomsoever as a result of or in connection with the use, application or implementation of any PTS, combination of PTS or any part thereof. The benefit of this disclaimer shall inure in all respects to PETRONAS and/or any Company affiliated to PETRONAS that may issue PTS or require the use of PTS. Without prejudice to any specific terms in respect of confidentiality under relevant contractual arrangements, PTS shall not, without the prior written consent of PETRONAS, be disclosed by users to any Company or person whomsoever and the PTS shall be used exclusively for the purpose they have been provided to the user. They shall be returned after use, including any copies which shall only be made by users with the express prior written consent of PETRONAS. The copyright of PTS vests in PETRONAS. Users shall arrange for PTS to be held in safe custody and PETRONAS may at any time require information satisfactory to PETRONAS in order to ascertain how users implement this requirement.

    4. SURFACE PREPARATION

    4.1 GENERAL For optimum paint performance surfaces to be painted or coated shall be completely dry and free from burrs, weld spatter, flux, rust, loose scale, dirt, dust, grease, oil and other foreign matter before any paint is applied. If the surface has been exposed to a pollutant, e.g. salt-laden, atmosphere, it shall be washed down with clean, fresh water prior to blasting or power tool cleaning. Cleaning of surface shall, as general rule, be done by dry blast cleaning (hereafter referred to as blast cleaning) as outlined in ISO 8504-2. The surface profile and the anchor pattern shall be in accordance with the requirements in this document. Fabrication should be completed before surface preparation begins. However, surface preparation and application of the base layers of the specified coating system before assembly will be allowed. Prefabrication primers are allowed. However, after assembly these primers shall be removed by blasting and the surface shall be blasted to the initial specified surface cleanliness unless otherwise agreed by the Principal. Alternative surface cleaning is only acceptable after written approval by the Principal. Alternative surface preparation such as power tool cleaning is not acceptable for areas difficult to access such as areas exposed to water, steelwork to be insulated or to be buried and the internal surfaces of equipment and tanks. Stainless steel surfaces shall not be treated with carbon steel cleaning tools. After preparation of the substrate surface, any grit, dust etc. shall be removed and a layer of primer applied before any corrosion or recontamination occurs, normally within 4 hours after blasting. Surface preparation shall be carried out by dry blast-cleaning wherever possible. The surface preparation grades shall be as specified in Appendix 2 for the various paint systems.

    4.2 PRE-CLEANING

    Prior to the blast cleaning and/or prior to any painting works, the surface shall be free of any contamination and any excessive rust scale shall be removed by impact cleaning tools or high pressure water jetting. All edges shall be ground to a minimum radius of 2 mm or otherwise agreed with the Principal and flame cut areas should have been ground flush. Weld spatter shall have been ground flush. If this is not the case, the Principal shall be informed, and corrective action shall be taken prior to the application of the first layer of the coating system.

    Maintenance coating should always start with a high pressure steam/detergent cleaning to remove dirt, grease and/or salt deposits. In addition, after a long interval prior to the application of the subsequent layers of a coating system or exposure to a storm at offshore, the surface shall be cleaned by using high-pressure water/steam or water wash before the application of the next coating layer. In the specific case of uncoated stainless steel components, water/steam cleaning shall not be allowed using water with a temperature of > 50 degrees C. However, the requirements regarding the soluble salts and other surface contaminants in this document shall be adhered to at all times. All welded areas and appurtenances shall be given special attention for removal of welding flux in crevices. Welding splatter, slivers, laminations and underlying mill scale which are not removed during fabrication shall be removed prior to painting activities by the best mechanical means and the edges smoothed or rendered flush. Before performing abrasive blast cleaning, all equipment which could be damaged by blast, dust or particulate matter shall be suitably protected by masking, wrapping, taping or other means to prevent damage. Where required, the degree of contamination shall be assessed in accordance with procedures described in ISO 8502-3. This equipment shall include but not necessarily limited to the following: Bearings Control panels Control valves Conduit Instrument dials Expansion joint bellows Machined surfaces Shafts Push buttons Tags Screws Exposed moving parts

    Adequate blocking or enclosure of the work area by either canvas, tarpaulin or suitable material shall be constructed and accepted by the Principal in order to avoid damage to other areas or equipment. This enclosure shall be constructed such as to contain any waste produced from the surface preparation activity. Any necessary equipment i.e. exhaust fan, air cooler, lighting for night work and other related HSE requirement shall be installed within this enclosure. Where rectification has been necessary on blast-cleaned surfaces, the dressed areas shall be pre-cleaned as initially specified. For the treatment of stainless steels, the level of free halides in materials to be used shall be confirmed and reviewed by Principal. Particular care shall be taken to dry areas, which are not self-draining, so that water collected is removed and not allowed to evaporate leaving salt deposits on the surface. Flushing activity shall be less than 10ppm while the actual concentration shall be maintained between 20 to 30ppm. Detergents with a pH >9 shall not be used on aluminium substrates.

    4.3 SURFACE PREPARATION BY BLAST CLEANING

    Page 16 of 78

    The blast cleaning of stainless steel shall be carried out by sweep blasting using a fine abrasive not containing iron (e.g. garnet, Aluminium Oxide, Aluminium Silicates), glass pearls or stainless steel shots. To reduce the risk of unacceptably damaging the substrate while sweep blasting stainless steel or hot dip galvanized surfaces, it is recommended that a reduced nozzle pressure be used in combination with a small size abrasive. Blast clean shall not be done close to painting operations or wet coated surfaces to prevent dust and abrasive contamination. Environmental restrictions shall be observed. Rough grit blasting will be allowed during the night providing that the surface is subsequently blasted under good light conditions to the specified Standard. Blast clean steel surfaces shall not be touched by bare hands. If the surface being cleaned lies adjacent to a coated surface, which is not to be repaired, the blast cleaning shall overlap the coated surface by at least 50 mm. The edges of the existing coating system shall be feathered. The remainder of the existing coated surface shall be properly protected with shields or screens to prevent any over blast damage. No acid wash, cleaning solvents or other chemical treatments shall be used on metal surfaces after they have been (dry) blast cleaned. This restriction includes inhibitive washes intended to prevent rusting. The surface profile or anchor pattern for carbon steel and low alloy steels to be coated with liquid organic coatings shall be in accordance with the written recommendation of the paint manufacturer. When not specified by the paint manufacturer or when otherwise specified in this document, the surface profile shall be between 40 m and 70 m. If stainless steel, galvanised or non-ferrous metal surfaces are to be painted with liquid (organic) coating materials, blast cleaning of these surfaces shall be carried out by smooth sweep blasting, using a small size non-iron containing abrasive (e.g. aluminium oxide). On galvanised surfaces, the zinc layer shall not be damaged, a smooth uniform surface roughness shall be achieved, no defects such as break through or crisping of the zinc layer shall occur. Surface roughness shall be in the range of 20 m to 30 m or shall be agreed with paint manufacturer. After approval by the Principal, abrading with sandpaper or light grinding with a suitable (flexible) disc maybe used for surface preparation if sweep blasting is impossible. In addition, when aluminium or galvanised components have to be painted, white zinc or aluminium corrosion products and/or rust present shall be removed. Should Thermally Sprayed Aluminium be used to coat carbon steel, low alloy steels and stainless steels, the surface profile shall be between 70 m to 110 m.

    4.3.2 Blast cleaning equipment The compressed air supply used for blast cleaning shall be free from water and oil. Adequate separators and traps shall be provided, installed in the coolest part of the system. They shall be emptied regularly to prevent carry-over of water and oil. Accumulations of oil and moisture shall be removed from the air receiver by regular purging. Conduct Blotter Test ASTM 4285 to check for air cleanliness at appropriate intervals. Air compressors shall not be allowed to deliver air at a temperature above 110 C. Abrasive blast cleaning equipment shall be of intrinsically safe construction and equipped with a remote shut-off valve triggered by the release of a dead man's handle at the blasting nozzle. Where air-operated equipment is used, the operator's hood or head gear shall be ventilated by clean, cool air served through a regulator filter, to prevent blast cleaning residues from being inhaled.

    4.3.3.2 Selection of abrasives

    There is a wide variation in performance between the products within a given generic class of abrasives. Surface anchor profile is directly proportional to the abrasive particle size (the larger the abrasive particle size, the deeper the profile). Cleaning rate is inversely proportional to the abrasive particle size (the larger the abrasive particle size, the slower the cleaning rate). A balanced mixture of particle sizes will produce the optimum level of cleanliness, cleaning rate and surface profile. Pre-qualification of the blast cleaning abrasives shall be conducted subject to acceptance and approval by the Principal prior to their use. The pre-qualification test shall be carried out in accordance with a set of procedure covering field trials and laboratory testing to determine their physical and chemical properties, efficiency and effectiveness that can support the economics for their usage. Steel or iron grit is commonly used as recyclable abrasives. In general, when steel shot is used, it shall be used together with steel grit and approved by the Principal. The abrasives shall be free from oil, grease, moisture, chloride contamination etc. Each batch of abrasive should be tested to check the abrasive meets the requirements as specified in the relevant ISO standard. The conductivity of abrasives to be used on carbon steels shall be less than 150 S/cm. The salt contamination of abrasives shall be less than 30 mg/m2.

    4.3.4 Grades of surface finish

    The recognized surface finish grades are summarized in Table 3.

    4.3.5 Removal of residual salts from pitted areas

    Where pitting corrosion has been located, pressure water/steam wash with fresh water shall be performed after the initial abrasive blasting. Should instant rust-back or black-spotting occur, the pressure wash shall be repeated to remove the residual salts residing in the micro pits.

    4.3.6 Techniques and Restrictions

    As a guide, blast cleaning shall not be carried out when the temperature of the surfaces to be blasted is less than 3 degree C above dew point and when the relative humidity of the air is greater than 85 %. For dew point determination, refer to procedure described in ASTM E 337. In enclosed areas such as in tanks and vessels where some adverse conditions (i.e. environmental conditions outside the range of the specifications or short turnaround time allotted) may prevail, dehumidification is recommended to prevent flash rusting. In the event that dehumidification is employed. The Relative Humidity (RH) within such environment shall be maintained at a maximum of 50% except for inorganic zinc silicate. NACE publication 6A 192 may be referred to determine the types of dehumidification equipment suitable for the work. Abrasive blasting shall not be conducted in open areas close to painting operations or wet coated surfaces to prevent dust and grit contamination. Normally, grit blasting shall be permitted only during daylight hours. The illumination of the surface during final blasting shall be at least 500 Lux and all environmental restrictions shall be observed. Maximum speed and most effective cleaning are obtained by systematic even blasting. Work should be blocked out in 30cm square and each square blasted evenly until complete. Blasting shall continue a minimum of 25 mm into any adjacent coated areas, and the edges shall be feathered. Any blast cleaned steelworks on which rust develops shall be re-blasted prior to being painted.

    4.3.7 Alternative Methods of Surface Cleaning

    4.3.7.1 General Alternative surface cleaning is only acceptable after obtaining written approval from the Principal. Alternative surface preparation such as power tool cleaning is not acceptable for areas difficult to access such as under cellar and helidecks, areas exposed to water, steelwork to be insulated, steelwork to be buried and internal surfaces of equipment and tanks. Alternative primers such as surface tolerant primers may be required for alternative methods of surface cleaning and be in accordance with paint manufacturers recommendations. Alternative primers need the approval of the Principal.

    4.3.7.2 Wet abrasive blasting and water jet cleaning

    Wet abrasive blast cleaning techniques using potable water can be used to avoid dust or in cases where fire and/or explosion risks are present. The cleaned surface should be washed off immediately after blast cleaning using potable water. Corrosion inhibitors should not be used unless written approval from the Principal has been obtained. Corrosion inhibitor such as 0.3% sodium nitrite and 1.2% ammonium phosphate may be used. However, use of Chromate inhibitor is not permitted. Disposal of corrosion inhibitor into the sea should not be allowed. The paint Manufacturer shall approve the use of an inhibitor or the removal of residues of the inhibitor before painting. The cleaned surface shall be dry at the time of painting. Particular care shall be taken to dry areas, which are not self-draining, so that water collected is removed.

    4.3.7.3 Water Jetting

    High-pressure and ultrahigh-pressure water jetting utilising potable water may be used, if abrasive blasting is not permitted for certain areas where dusting and over-blasting may damage process equipment. It is restricted to maintenance painting. Water jetting is a hazardous operation and requires the use of well-trained, experienced operators. Where black spots occur in pits or other surface defects, the surface shall be cleaned again at higher pressure to remove the residual salts. Only after written approval from the Principal is obtained, a suitable corrosion inhibitor such as 0.3% sodium nitrite and 1.2% ammonium phosphate may be used to prevent flash rusting. However, use of Chromate inhibitor is not permitted. The paint Manufacturer shall approve the use of an inhibitor or the removal of residues of the inhibitor before painting. The cleaned surface shall be thoroughly dry at the time of painting. Particular care shall be taken to dry areas, which are not self-draining, so that water collected is removed.

    4.3.7.4 Sponge Jet Blasting

    Sponge Jet blast cleaning is recognized as a dry and low dust system. This cleaning type shall only be used upon agreement with the Principal. Metallic or non-metallic abrasive used in the sponge jet media matrix shall conform to the ISO 11124 or ISO 11126 blast abrasive classification. It shall be conducted in accordance with the vendor/manufacturer recommendation which includes proper site preparation, equipment set-up, choice of media and their application. A range of surface profile 25, 50, 75 and 100 microns shall be achieved using the different sponge jet media. A recycler shall be used to segregate light debris, dust and heavy collected waste from the spent sponge jet media before being used again for blast cleaning.

  • PTS 30.48.00.31 September 2012

    Page 25 of 78

    ! Wire Flame Spraying Fuel gases are mixed with oxygen to propagate the combustion for melting the

    material to be applied. The temperature is recommended to be in the range of 2700C to 3100C so as to

    melt the wire which is fed through the nozzle at the centre of the gas. It is necessary to add clean and dry compressed air for atomizing and transporting

    the molten material to the work piece or substrate. Recommended spraying distance is within 130mm to 200mm. ! Arc Spraying The material to be applied is in the form of two wires fed through the spray gun in

    such a way that they intersect at the front of the gun. Electric is transferred to the wires and an electric arc is formed at the intersection, melting the material.

    The temperature in the electric arc is recommended at approximately 5500C.

    ! Plasma Spraying Plasma gun consists of an annular copper anode and a wolfram cathode, which are

    water cooled. A gas is fed into the electric arc formed between the anode and cathode. The material in powder form is transported by a carrier gas into the plasma stream form.

    The intense generation of heat up is recommended between 10000 to 25000C so

    as to melt the powder at the same time as it is propelled at great velocity towards the workpiece or substrate.

    Power levels up to 40kW are designated Low, whereas power levels between 40

    and 80 kW are designated High. ! High Velocity Oxy-fuel Spraying The gun works in such a way that propane and oxygen flame melts and propels

    molten material particles against the workpiece with a very high energy. The material to be applied is in a powder form.

    The recommended velocity is approximately 1000m/s while the flame temperature is

    recommended at approximately 2700C. ! Detonation Spraying Powder, by means of a carrier gas is fed into a flame barrel filled with a mixture of

    acetylene and oxygen which ignited by a spark. The recommended particle velocity is 700m/s so as to produce a low porosity coating.

    5.3.6 Hot Dip Galvanizing

    Steel is coated with zinc by means of dipping into a molten zinc bath keeping at a recommended temperature around 450 to 460C. The recommended thickness is about 100m. The substrate should be completely clean, free from grease by degreasing in a hot alkaline solution and rinsed with clean water. Mill scale and rust are to be removed in an acid bath (pickling), followed by rinsing with water.

Selection and acceptance of coating systems and products for a specific and specialised application which are not listed herein shall be the prerogative of individual Principal in consultation with the respective Paint Manufacturer. When selection an approved product for a particular project, the Contractor in consultation with the Principal shall consider the following factors:

    A. Coating characteristics

    ! Coverage cost (RM/m2) ! Application time ! Drying time ! Curing time ! Overcoating time ! Recoating time ! Compatibility

    The maintenance and touch-up coating systems shall be compatible with the Initial/New Construction coating systems. Coating system compatibility shall be tested using patch test methods described in ASTM D 5064.

    B. Nature of substrate C. Basic Function of Coating on Substrate D. Accessibility (time or space) and availability of appropriate equipment for

    satisfactory surface preparation and application. E. Environmental factors. F. Life Cycle Costs.

    The coating systems shall demonstrate low Life Cycle Costs in combination with: ! An Ideal/Optimum Service Life of minimum one (1) year for the first 10 to 12 years

    of service life and ! A Practical Service Life of minimum ten (10) years.

    The dry film thickness of the coating systems specified herein is the minimum requirement to achieve the desired system performance.

    6.1.2 Organic and Inorganic Zinc-Filled Coatings

    The metallic zinc content in the zinc dust shall be a minimum of 94%. Zinc content by percentage weight for inorganic zinc silicate and epoxy zinc should comply with SSPC-Paint 20 (Zinc rich primer, Type I 'Inorganic ' and Type II 'Organic') requirement or equivalent. Any new formulation related to zinc coating shall be subjected to qualification testing stated in this standard. The zinc coating systems shall pass the respective tests as shown in Appendix 7. If shop primer (for temporary protection) is applied, then it must be 100% full blasted to the requirement stated in section 4 prior to the application of the full coating system.

    Page 29 of 78

    For primed surface secondary surface preparation: All zinc salt formation shall be sweep blasted. All other possible contaminants shall be sanded down and solvent cleaned before topcoating. For damages, welding joints and rusty area, spot blast to Sa 2.5 followed by one coat of epoxy zinc rich or power tool cleaned to St3 and followed by Surface Tolerant epoxy, subject to Principal approval.

    6.1.3 Selection and Application of Top Coats

    For areas to be applied with polyester glassflake, all shop primer shall be removed completely, i.e. Sa 2.5. Prior to topcoating zinc rich primers, SSPC-PS Guide 8 shall be consulted to select compatible topcoats. The selection process requires identification of the generic type of primer, compatibility considerations, and selection of compatible topcoats. The minimum volume solids for high solid epoxy shall be 75%. As an alternative, surface tolerant high solid epoxy paint can be applied. When topcoating inorganic zinc silicate primed surface, a mist coat (wet to wet technique) i s required to eliminate pinholing.
