Basis of Design

2.1.5.1

Existing Facilities
Existing facilities consist of one unit Blowdown Stack equipped with
silencer used to vent all gas from station piping 5 minutes. The silencer is
design to control the noise created by the blowdown process to reach 85
dBA at the stations fence (120 meters) away from the stack.
The stack was unfit for operation after the internal parts of the silencers
being blow off during a planned blowdown in March 2003. The stack was
removed from site and replaced with a temporary blowdown stack without
having the silencer in placed.

2.1.5.2

New Facilities
The new facilities shall consist of one unit of blowdown stack equipped
with silencer to fit the purpose of venting the gas as per original design.
However, certain design parameters have to be improved especially on
the materials and corrosion control.
