An equipment layout that meets all stipulations of Chemical Industry shall be furnished by DEC (Licensor shall provide indicative layout based on which DEC will develop the equipment layout) showing all equipment in the unit and developed to show the following:

a) Location of equipment based on process, safety, operation, maintenance and construction aspects; taking into account OWNER's broad requirement towards inter equipment distances and other codes and standards that licensor usually follows.
b) Plant limits and overall dimensions.
c) Main pipe rack / pipe track orientation and other main structures.
d) Plant north, actual north and predominant wind direction data furnished by OWNER.

15.0 PIPING SPECIFICATIONS:

Licensor shall employ DEC Piping Material Specifications (PMS) to standardize the design, which would be generated and provided to Licensor.

16.0 LINE LIST:

Line lists shall list all lines shown in P&lDs and include line number service, size, piping class designation, starting and ending points, operating and mechanical design temperature and pressure, upset condition temperature and pressure (when exceeding mechanical design conditions), insulation designation. The format for the same shall be furnished by DEC at the outset of the project.

17.0 GENERAL INSTRUMENT SPECIFICATIONS:

a) Centralized control center shall have DCS to support Foundation Field Bus (FF Bus) technology. All field instruments shall be compatible with FF Bus technology with digital signal processing.
b) Instrument Technical specification and Instrument data sheets shall be provided in BDEP according to FF Bus technology. However, FF Bus technology shall be excluded for ESD, Fast loops like compressor controls, Critical process loops where faster execution time is recommended and for analyzers. Licensor shall provide a list of control loops which are not using FF Bus technology, these control loops will be identified suitably on relevant DS.
