Let’s Look at An Example…

ObjectiveObjective This procedure is designed to describe the Technical Operating This procedure is designed to describe the Technical Operating Specifications (TOS), and to set down the Standard Operating Specifications (TOS), and to set down the Standard Operating Procedures for the safe operation of Ammonia High Pressure Procedures for the safe operation of Ammonia High Pressure Receiver 1 (HPR-1)Receiver 1 (HPR-1)

Purpose:Purpose: The purpose of the TOS is to provide a description of the High The purpose of the TOS is to provide a description of the High Pressure Receiver, to define the function of the receiver, its Pressure Receiver, to define the function of the receiver, its operating conditions and limits, and consequences of deviation operating conditions and limits, and consequences of deviation from these limits; To describe controls and instrumentation and from these limits; To describe controls and instrumentation and safety systems, and set operating alignments. The purpose of safety systems, and set operating alignments. The purpose of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to set down the the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to set down the proper steps for starting, monitoring normal operation, and proper steps for starting, monitoring normal operation, and stopping and restarting the Receiver under normal and stopping and restarting the Receiver under normal and emergency conditionsemergency conditions

Concerns:Concerns: Very Careful attention to valve positions, temperature, and Very Careful attention to valve positions, temperature, and pressure levels is extremely important to the successful pressure levels is extremely important to the successful completion of these procedures. Deviations from normal completion of these procedures. Deviations from normal operating limits could cause personal injury or death, small to operating limits could cause personal injury or death, small to catastrophic release of ammonia or environmental damage, or catastrophic release of ammonia or environmental damage, or evacuation of, or injury to, members of the public. We seek to evacuation of, or injury to, members of the public. We seek to prevent incidents such as: prevent incidents such as:

Injury to operators and others in the area. Damage to the High Injury to operators and others in the area. Damage to the High Pressure Receiver. Release of any quantity of Anhydrous Pressure Receiver. Release of any quantity of Anhydrous Ammonia refrigerant. Ammonia refrigerant.

The company Lockout/Tagout program shall be followed when The company Lockout/Tagout program shall be followed when taking the receiver out of service, while maintaining the taking the receiver out of service, while maintaining the receiver, and while returning it to service. If Line-Breaking is receiver, and while returning it to service. If Line-Breaking is required, all Line-Breaking precautions described in the required, all Line-Breaking precautions described in the company Line-Break Policy shall be observed. Additionally, company Line-Break Policy shall be observed. Additionally, proper PPE shall be immediately available, or worn in response proper PPE shall be immediately available, or worn in response to the threat level posed by the work and circumstances. to the threat level posed by the work and circumstances.
