2 Introduction
The items described in this specification are for housing process analysers and associated systems for
ORYX GTL plant. The housing may be analyser local panel or analyser shelter. The analyser shelter is
defined as an enclosed structure with controlled environment in which one or more analysers and
associated equipment are installed, with sufficient space to allow maintenance access to the analysers
with the door(s) closed.
3.1.1 General
The installation method required for individual analysers, shall be determined during detailed
engineering and shall be subject to OWNER approval.
Analyser shelter and local analyser panel shall be located providing good accessibility and safety for
maintenance. Analyser shelters shall not be located underneath process equipment or pipe racks and
shall be at least 7.5 metres from possible sources of toxic or flammable releases e.g. process pumps
and compressors.
Analyser shelter and panels shall not be located in any Zone 1 classified hazardous areas.
Recommendation of analyser VENDOR shall be considered for the site installation of the analyser
shelters, local analyser panels, field mounted sensors, sample transport lines and sample probes.
The location of analyser shelters/ local panels should be specifically based on the following
considerations:
Minimum length of sample line between the sample take-off point and the analyser
Minimum transport time between sample take-off points and the analyser
Plot plan space availability
Ease of installation
Ease of accessibility for maintenance (cranes and equipment)
Availability of utilities vents and drain lines
Environmental conditions such as weather protection, heat, vibration and noise
Suitable (safe) position for the outlet of the sample vent manifold.
Suitable position for the inlet ducting opening of the forced ventilation system (toxic, flammable
gasses; steam vapors, etc., not be present under normal conditions).
Where an analyser is proposed for installation at an analyser local panel, then operation, maintenance,
ambient conditions and technical requirements for the analyser shall be considered into the design.
Details of analyser local panel requirements are contained within this specification. The design of
analyser local panels shall suitable for duty and in accordance with this specification.

3.4.3.3 Each shelter shall be forced draft (positive pressure) ventilated by two independent air fan
systems. Ventilation shall be continuous and provide both fresh air makeup and recirculation
of inside air. Each fan shall be sized to supply at least eight (8) fresh air changes per hour
within the shelter and maintain a positive overpressure of at least 2.5-5 mm WG. The
number of air changes per hour shall be increased if necessary to dilute the worst case
hydrocarbon leak to less than 25% LEL in the event of a complete failure of any single line
carrying flammable materials.
Only one fan will be in operation at any one time but each fan will be capable of continuous
operation. A switch on the SVAC system control panel will enable either fan to be selected
as the normal duty fan. Failure of the selected duty fan shall automatically start the other fan
and provide an input to the common “shelter trouble” alarm. An easily removable dust filter
shall be provided for each fan.
3.4.3.4 Each fan motor and compressor motor shall have its own main power switch and manual
remote/ start/ stop switch located close to the motor which will override the automatic
facilities when switched out of the remote position. This will be in addition to the main power
isolation switch for the SVAC unit at the 3-phase distribution board. Ventilation fans shall
have direct drive motors. No belt driven fans shall be allowed.
3.4.3.5 Facilities shall be provided in the SVAC system to prevent cross flow through the fan that is
not in operation and such that the system may operate with one fan removed for
maintenance. A single fresh air intake duct shall be provided for the SVAC system which will
obtain air from an electrically unclassified (safe) location. This will be a point that is at least
7.5 metres from any equipment containing hydrocarbons or other flammable or toxic
vapours. The air intake ducting shall be galvanised steel or GRP and insulated to prevent
heating by solar radiation.
3.4.3.6 A low ventilation air flow switch shall be provided across each fan set to alarm at 80 percent
of normal flow. This may be achieved by a thermal switch in the air flow. The switch shall
automatically start the back-up fan and provide a local “fan failure” alarm and not provide an
input to the common “shelter trouble” alarm. The flow switch for non-duty fan shall be
inhibited until it is automatically started. The back-up fan shall also be automatically started
on 20% LEL detection or toxic gas detection in the shelter. In this case both fans shall
remain running until manually reset.

provided within a cover to prevent sand etc. from entering the shelter. The number and
location of vents shall be subject to approval by the OWNER. A magnehelic indicator shall
be installed inside the shelter to provide a visual indication of over pressure.
3.4.3.9 The SVAC system should provide an even distribution of air throughout the shelter to
prevent uneven cooling or a localised build-up of hazardous vapours. This should be
achieved by using diffusers or ducting inside the shelter, unless it can be demonstrated that
even distribution can be achieved without these diffusers and ducting.
3.4.3.10 The noise generated by the SVAC system within the shelter shall be less than 70 dBA
measured 1 metre from the exhaust grill at a height of approximately 1.75 metres. The noise
levels 1 metre from the SVAC system outside the shelter shall not exceed 85 dBA.
3.4.3.11 The capacity of the air conditioning (cooling) system shall be sufficient to maintain the
temperature within the shelter to 23oC ± 2oC with the ambient conditions. The analyser
VENDOR shall provide calculations to demonstrate that the SVAC system has sufficient
cooling capacity. The system shall be fully self-contained and automatic. The temperature
control limits may be relaxed if major savings can be demonstrated, this is subject to
OWNER’s approval.
