First Concrete Flare Stack


As part of HDS-2
A new landmark rising 325 ft.
high just southwest of the Lab-
oratories on the reclaimed area
is the new HDS-2 flare stack
which was completed recently
and lighted up. Unlike the HDS-1
flare stack built of steel, this
flare is supported by a concrete
stack which is also the first con-
crete flare stack in the refinery.
The reinforced concrete stack
is considered to provide longer
life to the flare line because of
less corrosion and will also re-
quire less maintenance. The
new flare stack will serve the
HDS-2 units and has tie-ins to
serve the HDS-1 units as well.
Rising over the top of the
concrete structure is a 12-ft.
high smokeless tip which is
mounted on the 30-inch diameter
flare line that runs in the center
to the top of the stack. At the
top there is also a service plat-
form to permit lowering the tip
assembly from inside the stack.
The stack's base diameter is
22 feet on the outside with a
wall thickness of 15 inches,
while the diameter at the top is
13 feet with a 7-inch wall thick-
ness. Other equipment of the
Safety Facilities include a water
disengaging drum, a flare K.O.
drum, a pilot gas drum, and a
flare seal drum.
The flare stack project was

P.S. No. 8 Is Now in A-1 Condition

After Extensive Maintenance Work


Pipestill No. 8 recently under-
went an extensive maintenance
and repair job during a major
turnaround which began on Au-
gust 13. In addition to cleaning
and repairing towers, conden-
sers and exchangers and other
required maintenance work, two
sizeable projects were under-
taken on the crude furnace and
stack to put the unit back in
tip-top condition.
One required the renewal of
two upper sections of the 180-
ft. furnace stack. The sections,
which were heavily corroded
due to effluent gases, were dis-
mantled and the new ones
erected using an unusual tech-
nique. The second job called
for the refractory lining of the
unit's furnace using a method,
first put into practice during the
No. 7 Pipestill turnaround last
year.
Removal of the corroded sec-
tions of the stack would have
been a routine matter had it
been handled by a large crane
with sufficient lifting capacity
and boom length. But, as such
a crane was not available at the
time, an alternate dismantling and
erection procedure was devel-
oped in which two smaller cra-
nes were used. While the Mani-
towoc 3900 crane held the cor-


roded stack section for removal,
three men working from a cage
from the American F-4 crane
performed the job of circum-
ferentially cutting the section
first at a 150-ft level, and later
at the 120-ft level for the sub-
sequent section. This procedure
required the F-4 crane to change
positions three times.
After each 30-ft section -
weighing 5 tons each was
carefully lowered to the ground
by the Manitowoc 3900, it was
transported to the Salvage Yard.
Next came the erection of
two new 10-ft. in diameter stack
sections weighing a total of
twelve tons which were lo-
cally fabricated of carbon steel
plates in the Mechanical Shops.
Using the same procedure dur-
ing dismantling, but now work-
ing at 120-ft. level, new stack
sections one 19-ft. long, and
the other 38-ft long, were erect-
ed one at a time onto the furn-
ace stack "stump".
The dismantling and erection
operation was performed by an
eight-man crew of the Chicago
Bridge & Iron Company during
ten working days. Painting of
the new 12-ton stack sections
with a high-temperature resis-
tant paint was done by the Aru-

The other important job in the
No. 8 Pipestill revamp required
the renewal of the inner wall of
the crude furnace. After remov-
ing about 250 tons of bricks and
insulation material from the 90-
ft. high, 40-ft. diameter cylindrical
furnace, work began on the in-
stallation of a six-inch refractory
lining.
Using the same technique as
on Pipestill No. 7 furnace last
year, reinforcing wire was weld-

ed to the furnace shell and an
inner wall was constructed of
plywood. The refractory mortar,
prepared in a mixer at ground
level, was pumped through hoses
by a special pump into the six-
inch space between the wall
and the wooden form. It took
about 130 tons of the cement-
like, high-temperature insulation
material to completely line the
huge furnace walls. The forms
will be burned out when the
furnace is put in service.
Approximately 60 tons of re-
fractory insulation lining in the
11-ft. diameter, 150-long duct
from the furnace to the out-
board convection section was
also renewed. This operation in-
cluded welding reinforcing wire
to the duct and spraying (gun-
iting) a 4-inch thick lining in-
side the duct.
This job was carried out by
Antillean Civil Engineering Works
who are stationed in Curagao,
in about 14,000 manhours.
Complete turnaround of No. 8
Pipestill was in the able hands
of a Construction & Turnaround
Zone crew of sixty men directed
by Mechanical's Coordinator II-
do Donata.
Dismantling and erection pro-
cedure development plus field
engineering and coordination on
the furnace stack project were
handled by K. T. Wong of Mech-
anical Engineering, while the
new stack section design was
done by Isaac J. Chin of Mech-
anical Engineering. Assisting
with the coordination of the re-
fractory lining of the furnace
duct was N. L. Swaen of Con-
struction & Contracts Section of
the Construction & Turnaround/
