VI.
VII.

The total area of the plant facilities is double to accommodate the infrastructure of the plant
such as roads
The process unit shall be located at the highest elevation of the area
ETP plant shall be located at the lowest level of the plot to have gravity flow ( free floor)
The flare shall be located on the upstream side of the process unit w.r.t wind direction
Cooling tower shall be located on the downstream side of the area w.r.t wind direction
The plant facility shall be located near the m/L entry gate and the non plant facility shall be
located near the main entry gate
Pipe rack location should be based on connectivity of it to different units to supply pipe b/w
them.
