UNMANNED PLATFORM MAINTENANCE

摘要

An arrangement of process equipment for treatment of hydrocarbons on an installation comprising a deck (2). The deck comprises a permanently unmanned, area (3) in which the process equipment (13) is located, and to which personnel has no access while the process equipment is pressurized and operating, and a manned area to which personnel normally has access. The permanently unmanned area (3) is separated from the manned area by a fire and explosion proof wall (4) which prevents personnel traffic into the permanently unmanned area (3) while the process equipment is pressurized and operating. The unmanned area (3) holds racks (12) that accommodate the process equipment (13). The racks (12) are located at one or more levels, and each rack has a corridor (14) on at least one side. Access to the process equipment in the racks is via a tool introduced into the corridor (14). There is also a description of a process module (30) for tie-in to an installation (31) for treatment of hydrocarbons. The module (30) is provided with connecting means (35) arranged to secure the module (30) at the edge of the platform deck (34).
