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, the Principal will expect 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 or its technical advisor. The right to use PTS rests with three categories of users : 1) 2) 3) PETRONAS and its affiliates. Other parties who are authorised to use PTS subject to appropriate contractual arrangements. 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.

1. INTRODUCTION The Schoepentoeter (vane-type) inlet device is commonly used for introducing gas/liquid mixtures into a vessel or column, This memorandum provides the information for designing a Schoepentoeter and enabling the completion of a standard requisition for the contractor or manufacturer. A description of the application of Schoepentoeters can be found in Ref. 1. This memorandum replaces the design procedures given there, as various design rules have now been changed; Standard Drawings and requisition sheets have also been updated. The standard drawings are appended for easy reference.

Schoepentoeters are Shell proprietary equipment. Drawings and requisitions are confidential and shall not be released to others, unless such release is covered by a secrecy agreement. The preferred manufacturer is METAWA TRAY BV, P.O. Box 6027, 4000 HA Tiel, the Netherlands.

2. DESIGN PROCEDURE OF SCHOEPENTOETER (VANE-TYPE) INLET DEVICES (TYPES I TO IV) 2.1 Introduction A typical conventional Schoepentoeter is shown in Fig.1 , mounted in a vertical vessel. The geometry of the Schoepentoeter is to a large extent standardized so that the choice of dimensions to be made by the designer is limited to the following : a. the number of vanes per side, n b. the vane angle,
v

D , which is 8 degree, or less

c. the lenght of the straight part of the vane, L v , which must be 75, 100, 150, or 200 mm*. The choice of L v is also used to fix the vane spacing d. the radius of vanes, R
v,

which must be 50 or 100mm*

With a Schoepentoeter, it is normal to specify a protruded nozzle, though this is not essential. Constructional details are shown on Standard Drawings been deleted) S 20.015 to S 20.022 . (S20.018 has

2.3 Vane height Each row of vanes in a Schoepentoeter is welded to a mounting strip at top and bottom. The assembly, which includes a row of vanes is known as the vane ladder. It is not normal to specify the height of the vanes, since the height will be made sufficient to cover the inlet nozzle. However, the designer should give some consideration to the height of the vane ladders in the following cases:

2.3.1 Schoepentoeter to enter through its own nozzle It is common for the vane ladders to be brought separately into the column, and the device assembled "in situ". Sometimes the ladders must be brought in through their own nozzle, for

example when this is the largest opening in the column wall. When this is to be done, the vane ladders must be adapted, either by applying a "catcher cap" or by dividing the vane ladder. For separator applications a "catcher cap" is not allowed, since this increases the inlet velocity. Provision of an adequately sized manhole is preferred.

2.3.2 Vane height greater than 800 mm Tall vanes are susceptible to vibration. Therefore if the vane height exceeds 800 mm, the vane ladder should be divided for more stiffness.

2.3.3 Schoepentoeter subject to heavy load There are circumstances in which the Schoepentoeter is subjected to a load heavier than one would normally design for. Examples are Schoepentoeters fitted to existing nozzles during revamps, or in flare system knock-out drums where in severe relief situations exceptionally high flow rates are possible. Sometimes Schoepentoeters are required to withstand liquid slugs. In these cases consideration should be given to a divided ladder construction. In addition, a material thickness greater than the normal 3 mm may be specified for the vanes.

3. REQUISITIONING The only dimensions to be specified are the nominal nozzle size the number of vanes per side, the length of the leading straight part of the vanes, the vane radius and the vane angle.

It should also be specified via which manhole or nozzle the Schoepentoeter has to be installed. The design parameters can be completed on the data/ requisition sheet for Schoepentoeters. Since the requisition makes reference to the relevant standard drawings, it is not necessary to include the drawings with the requisition. Other sketches showing vane details should not be used in requisitioning. The manufacturer is required to make some checks as indicated on the standard drawings.
