P 106 Liquid Cryogenic C2 Transportation

P  106

Liquid Cryogenic C2 Transportation

Having promised the statutory authorities, our responsibility in upkeep of safety enhanced multi fold.
Reliance S&OR have taken the call for carrying out Risk Assessment for Cryogenic C2  Loading at DMD ,Transportation and Storage at JMD.. Also they evaluated the features of the vehicle and the cryogenic  tank design of the vehicle. Formed a special task force to carry out the analysis of the various probable events enroute and developed the requisite mitigation measures. Trained the identified drivers and several emergency crews along the entire stretch for tackling the emergency if arise. Though it was not envisaged to have a portable flare in the escort vehicle, as a matter of
abundant caution they developed one and ensured to be part of travel kit.

With the cooperation of M/S INOX, we fabricated 4 vehicles of each 18T carrying capacity and had first estimate of approx. 500T only for PX IV start-up and have some spare inventory for Cryogenic C2 for PX compressor re-fill  until ROGC start-up. As our task became a grand success, we made total 85 trips of all the 4 vehicles  carrying a total of 1450T and even catered Cryogenic C2 for ROGC start-up.

Some of the salient features of this assignment:

From zero state, developed road loading gantry set-up at DMD.
First time configured double walled vacuum insulated cryogenic semi-trailer for Cryogenic Ethylene
transportation.
Keeping futuristic usage of the vehicles in mind, ensured the design meet usage for cryogenic LNG in Indian roads.
With our own team, created Emergency Response Plan  for entire involved operations and logistics.
Detailed Risk Assessment was carried out and shared with the statutory authorities.
Route Hazard mapping  carried out and validated the identified transit rest stations.
Journey management plan was duly authorized and put in place.
Ensured that each transit vehicle had escort supervision vehicle with entire emergency camp kit.
For entire operation for the transit, a safe SOP was created.
Each tanker was fixed with Trimble VTS for vehicle location/status tracking.
Ensured that portable  flare was there in each escort vehicle during road transit.
Hazard communication workshop & mock drills were conducted to train all concerned stake holders.
All drivers, though engaged by M/S Vama Infracreations Pvt.ltd, underwent Hazchem Transportation training as per CMVR requirements.
Exclusive TREM card was developed for this objective.

Reliance is proud to share that the Pillars for Safe Road Movement were :

Vehicle Management
Driver Management
Journey Management
Contractor Management
Emergency Response Systems

Happy to share that this Ethylene movement meticulous planning  & flawless execution
is one more feather in our cap! Management was relieved of the imposing challenge to source Cryogenic C2 for PXIV start-up.
