Heritage Cases

The Applicant (Bay Terminals Group) is proposing to establish a new bulk petrochemical fuel store with ship to shore offloading, transfer piping, custody metering and numerous tanks and road tanker loading at a new facility. The Berth is in the port of Coega and the bulk tank facility site planned for use is within 5 km of the berth. The materials are liquids and flammable hazardous chemicals. The conveyance of ULP; JET; Paraffin; HFO; Diesel and LPG from the Berth jetty to dedicated storage tanks will be carried out via a respective above-ground 300 NB pipeline which will meet the requirements of ASME B31.8. The pipelines will cover a distance of approximately 4 800 m starting from the berth header and ending at the inlet header at the tank farm. The pipelines will traverse up a grade of nearly 50 m. The pipelines will be designed for a maximum pressure of 16 bar and have a maximum flowrate of 1600 m3/h. (HFO flowrate will be around 600 m3/h). Provision will be made for pipeline pigging in the common lines following a product change. The Site will have the following infrastructure components: • 2,4m high security fence complete with truck entry / exit gates and emergency exits; • Associated lighting and closed-circuit television (CCTV) • Pigging Station • Import manifold • Booster Pump Station • Five off bunded storage areas containing;  4 off Diesel tanks, combined working capacity 80 000 m3;  4 off ULP tanks, combined working capacity 80 000 m3;  2 off HFO tanks, combined working capacity 30 000 m3;  1 off JET tank working capacity 10 000 m3; and 1 off Paraffin tank working capacity 4 000 m3;  15 off LPG vessel vessels, with a combined working capacity of 15 000 m3. • Road Tanker loading pump bays as follows:  Diesel – 4 off 2000 l/m pumps (3 operating, 1 standby)  ULP – 4 off 2000 l/m pumps (3 operating, 1 standby)  HFO – 3 off 2000 l/m pumps (2 operating, 1 standby)  Jet – 2 off 2000 l/m pumps (1 operating, 1 standby)  Paraffin – 2 off 2000 l/m pumps (1 operating, 1 standby) • Fire Water Tank with Fire / Foam pump Station; • Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU); • Necessary Buildings:  Admin Building 684m2;  Ablution and Rest Room 293 m2;  Store Room 293 m2;  Workshop 382 m2;  Warehouse 302 m2;  Electrical Sub Station 302 m2;  Security Building 130 m2;  Small laboratory. • Loading Gantries  10 bays for liquid fuels (Diesel 3; ULP 3; HFO 2; JRT 1; Paraffin 1)  8 bays for LPG • Additive Bay • Pump Bays • Compressor Bay • Generator Bay • Boiler Room with Steam Reticulation System and dedicated Boiler Fuel Oil tank • Tanker Wash Bay • Effluent Handling  Drainage channels  Effluent Containment  Interceptor Oil-water Separator • Slops Handling System:  450m3 Slops Tank • Pipe Racks, Pipe Bridges and inter connecting pipes • Parking.
