1. OBJECTIVE
Fuel dyes provide color to fuel, and could be identified visually. Fuel dyes can also be used as some fuel
markers, they must be of different color.
The followings are the objective for addition of dyes.
Easily help to distinguish between grades of fuel
Allows simple corporate identification
Meet various national/regional specifications
Support in the prevention of fuel theft
Add to the aesthetic appeal of fuels
2. ADDITIVE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Green Dye (Gasoline marker)
Green dye shall be injected to gasoline receipt pipeline. Gasoline receipt pipeline shall be received with
flowrate of 1300 m3/h with pressure of 3 barg.
2.2 Red Dye (Gasoline marker)
Red dye shall be injected to gasoline receipt pipeline. Gasoline receipt pipeline shall be received with flowrate
of 1300 m3/h with pressure of 3 barg.
3. ADDITIVE SYSTEM
The additive system shall comprises mainly offload, storage and injection facility. The below is the brief
description about the additive facility.
3.1 Additive offload
Additive offload operation is a planned operation performed by operation team before start-up of gasoline
import operation. All additive offloads will be performed under the supervision of a operator and appropriate
checks performed on the additive delivery paperwork, Additive vessel inventory check and valve line up.
In order to add additional protection against cross contamination, offload connection points will be locked with
individual quick connect coupler. Additive will be offloaded from drum to vessel by hand pump.
3.2 Additive storage
Additive will be stored in above ground vertical vessel with dished end. Additive vessel will be designed as per
ASME section VIII dev.1. Vessel will be provided with level, pressure measurement devices. The offloading,
pump out connection will be provided.
.
3.3 Additive injection
Additive injection shall be carried out in import pipeline with the help of injection pumps. Each pump skid has
two positive displacement pumps operating on a duty standby setup with the duty pump changed at the end
of each pump operation. The pump skids will have a return line to vessel and a pressure sustaining valve to
ensure that the correct pressure is maintained on the skid outlet throughout the fluctuating injection demands
from the gantries. This is to ensure the additive has the correct differential pressure above the import line
pressure to ensure injection.

Pressure relief will be installed on the outlet of each pump to protect against dead heading the positive
displacement pumps and protection from thermal relief due to solar radiation.
Pump start /stop command will be given by field operator.
