1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The Gabon Fertilizer Company (GFC), a Joint Venture between Olam International
Limited, Singapore and the Republic of Gabon (RoG) is planning to construct a
grass root ammonia-urea fertilizer complex at Cap Lopez, near Port-Gentil in the
Republic of Gabon. Olam International Ltd, Singapore (http://www.olamonline.com)
is a leading global integrated food ingredients and industrial raw material supplier
with operations in 65 countries and employing over 18000 people worldwide.
A land area of 120 ha has been allocated for the project site within the industrial
park developed at Cap Lopez.
The proposed fertilizer complex will comprise of:
Single stream ammonia plant licensed by HALDOR TOPSOE A/S,
Single stream urea synthesis plant licensed by SAIPEM S.p.a,
Single stream urea granulation plant by UHDE FERTILIZERS
TECHNOLOGY B.V.
Urea storage warehouse (Concrete / Pre-Engineered Building)
Ammonia storage (Double Wall Double Integrity Atmospheric Storage Tank)
Cooling water system
Water supply / treatment & storage
Power generation (Gas turbine) / Emergency Diesel Generator set
Steam generation (Waste heat of Gas Turbine and Auxiliary Boiler integrated
to process plant waste heat steam generation)
Effluent Management and Disposal (including sanitary effluents)
The Off-sites and other utilities units
Flare stacks
The support facilities (Administration buildings, workshops, ware house for
products)
1.2 Purpose of report
This report presents the HAZOP review carried out for the various units viz.
Ammonia production unit
Ammonia storage unit
Compression unit

The above review involved specialists from
Company (Gabon Fertilizer Company),
Contractors (Technip) and
The Licensors {Haldor Topsoe A/S (HTAS), Denmark and Saipem SpA,
Italy}.
Specialists engaged by GFC.
A Hazard and Operability Review (HAZOP) for the Gabon Fertilizer Project was
held in the Technip (Paris) offices, La Dfense, France. The review was conducted
by a third-party Chairman from HazOptima and Bureau Veritas.
2.0 Objective of HAZOP review
The objective of the HAZOP was to identify process hazards in a systematic
approach so that they can be assessed, eliminated at source if possible, controlled
and/or mitigated otherwise. Thus HAZOP provides a qualitative review of the
process hazards and operability issues and enables actions for reducing or
eliminating hazards and operability problems in the plant.
HAZOP review focuses on process deviations, i.e. situations where a process
parameter diverges from normal operating conditions. The review focused on
consequences for people, environment and asset.
The HAZOP review covered normal operation of systems within the scope of work,
as well as operability aspects (including start-up, shut-down and maintenance as
general guidewords) of each system.
The HAZOP review was limited to all Process units and some Utilities.
The HAZOP review covered the following Process units and Utilities:
Unit 10 Ammonia unit (all sections including compression)
Unit 20 Urea synthesis unit (all sections)
Unit 30 Urea granulation unit (all sections)
Unit 40 & 60 Utilities unit and Offsite unit but limited to:
Steam generation and boiler feed water (Unit 40 section 80)
Cooling water system (Unit 40 section 30)
Ammonia storage system (Unit 60 section 50)
The HAZOP review was of qualitativetype.

3.0 HAZOP PROCEDURE
3.1 Preparation
Prior to the review, with the help of a process engineer, the chairman identified the
nodes and identified the operating modes.
The nodes size varied according to the complexity of the units considered. A
practical rule for changing nodes was at each major equipment / valve or wherever
a critical parameter is changing (flow, pressure, temperature, phase, etc). Each
node was subject of a dedicated analysis and a corresponding set of report
worksheets. The nodes were appropriately defined with clear design intent. They
were then recorded on the HAZOP worksheets.
The node description and full range of operating and design conditions were
described and documented on the worksheets.
The node description was presented to the HAZOP review team prior to its study so
that every team member was on the same understanding of it.
3.2 Assumptions
The HAZOP review was performed on the assumption that design, installation,
commissioning, operation, inspection, maintenance and emergency were at an
adequate level of quality, in line with Company and Project specifications.
3.3 Methodology
The HAZOP review process was divided into the following steps:
Select a node
Describe the nodes design intent and process conditions
Select the first/next parameter
Select the first/next deviation
Determine by brainstorming all the potential causes relevant to this deviation
and agree the credibility of each cause
Identify the potential consequences associated to each cause
Identify the safeguards in place or foreseen against each scenario identified
Propose actions when it appears necessary
Check that implementation of proposed action(s) will adequately solve the
issue
Apply the next deviation until they all have been considered &
Move onto the next node until the whole scope of review is covered
