List three utilities used by the Jet Storage System.
- High-pressure (HP) Steam
- Electricity
- Essential Instrument Air
What is the function of the Jet Storage Tank (T‑194)?
Receives on-spec jet product rundown for long-term storage
Describe the Jet Storage Tank (T‑194).
Circular above-ground tank, approximately 150 feet in diameter and 40 feet high, capacity of 124,000 bbls
What is the function of the Jet Shipping Pump (P‑5210)?
Transfers jet fuel from storage to the East Saint John loading facility
True or False: The Jet Off-spec/HSD Component Tank (T‑211) receives only on-spec jet product.
False
Fill in the blank: The Jet Product Filter (V‑5203A) removes _______ from the processed jet product.
particulates
What is the primary purpose of training in the Jet Storage System?
To ensure safe and economic operation and maintenance
What does the Jet Storage Subsystem do?
Receives treated jet product from the #3 Crude Unit and holds it until demand for shipment
What is the capacity of the Jet Off-spec/HSD Component Tank (T‑211)?
170,000 bbls
List the major equipment used in the Jet Storage Subsystem.
- Jet Storage Tank (T‑194)
- Jet Storage Tank (T‑195)
- Jet Off-spec/HSD Component Tank (T‑211)
- Jet Shipping Pump (P‑5210)
- Jet Product Filter (V‑5203A)
What is the main goal of the operations in the Oil Movements in the Back Field?
To optimize operations and maximize uptime
What type of tank is the Jet Storage Tank (T‑195)?
Circular, above-ground storage tank with a fixed roof, FRP lined
What is the function of the Jet Product Filter (V‑5203A)?
Removes particulates from the processed jet product
What is the diameter and height of the Jet Storage Tank (T‑195)?
Approximately 144 feet in diameter and 42 feet, 9 inches high
How does the Jet Storage System affect the refinery operations?
An upset can force the shutdown of units upstream and prevent loading of ships downstream
What is the purpose of the Jet Storage Subsystem?
To store jet fuel when there is no immediate demand and to route jet product to the East Saint John marine terminal
Name the major equipment in the Jet Storage Subsystem.
- Jet Storage Tank (T‑194)
- Jet Storage Tank (T‑195)
- Jet Off-spec/HSD Component Tank (T‑211)
- Jet Shipping Pump (P‑5210)
- Jet Product Filter (V‑5203A)
What happens to off-spec jet product in the Jet Storage Subsystem?
It is directed to tank T‑211, where it is held until it can be used as a blend component through the HSD Blender.
What is the function of the Jet Shipping Pump (P‑5210)?
To deliver the jet product through the Jet Product Filter (V‑5203A) to the East Saint John marine terminal loading arms.
Fill in the blank: The process of _______ involves mixing two or more petroleum fractions to produce a product meeting specifications for market.
blending
Describe the quality control procedure for jet fuel in the Jet Storage Subsystem.
Once the flow of jet fuel entering the tanks has stopped, the jet fuel is sampled for quality. After approval for Product Release (PR), it is delivered to East Saint John or the Marketing Tank Truck Loading Rack (TTLR).
True or False: There are controls for the Jet Storage Subsystem.
False
What is the role of the Jet Product Filter (V‑5203A)?
To remove any particles from the jet fuel before it leaves the Back Field for shipping or marketing.
In the Jet Storage Subsystem, what happens if the Jet Shipping Pump is inoperative?
The product can be delivered by gravity flow to East Saint John through the filter, though at a reduced rate of flow.
What does PR stand for in the context of the Jet Storage Subsystem?
Product Release
Identify the utilities used in the Jet Storage Subsystem.
- HP Steam
- Electricity
- Essential Instrument Air
What is the significance of understanding process control conditions for a Facility Technician?
It indicates whether the system is operating in a stable and safe manner and helps preserve the run life of the equipment.
Fill in the blank: The process of _______ is a high heat thermal process that breaks large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones.
cracking
What is the purpose of the simplified flow diagram in the Jet Storage Subsystem?
To label the equipment and connect stream flows, showing how the subsystem works.
What does H2S stand for, and why is it significant?
Hydrogen sulphide; it is a poisonous, corrosive gas commonly found in crude oil and various stages of processing.
What is the role of the Merox Treating Unit in the Jet Storage Subsystem?
To treat jet fuel before it enters the Jet Storage Subsystem.
True or False: The Jet Storage Subsystem is a standalone system.
False; it is part of the larger Jet Storage System.
