APPLICATIONS FOR PERMISSION TO INSTALL (PTI) AND TO OPERATE (PTO)

PETROLEUM PIPELINES, BULK STORAGE FACILITY AND EQUIPMENT

Introduction

In October 1992, the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs was given the responsibility ofadministrating the Petroleum (Safety Measures) Act 1984 and the regulations made thereunder. Thisact governs the safety of the petroleum industry which encompasses the safety aspect of thetransport, storage, handling and utilisation of petroleum equipment/appliances. To ensure the smoothenforcement of this Act, DOSH was entrusted by the ministry to implement one of the regulationsunder this act, i.e. Petroleum (Safety Measures) (Transport of Petroleum by Pipelines) Regulations1985. 

Aim

This guide is intended to explain the application procedures for permission to install (PTI)/permissionto operate (PTO) petroleum pipelines, bulk storage facility and equipment. The applications areclassified into four categories; 

i. Permission to install (PTI) petroleum pipelinesii. Permission to operate (PTO) petroleum pipelinesiii. Permission to install (PTI) liquefied petroleum gas (/LPG) storage facility and gas fuel pipeline

system to combustors (appliances)iv. Petroleum equipment approval 

Definition

i. Petroleum

 Any mineral oil or relative hydrocarbon and natural gas existing in its natural condition and casinghead petroleum spirit including bituminous shales and other stratified deposits from which oil can beextracted, including petroleum products.

ii. Petroleum Products

 All substances that are derived from petroleum: 

  Methane, ethane, propane, butane or hydrocarbon which may consist of one or more of the above

gases either in the form of gas or liquid (e.g.: natural gas and LPG)

  Gasoline

  Naphtha

  Reformate

  Kerosene

  Diesel

  Fuel Gas

  Base oil

  Lubricating oil

  Asphalt / Bitumen

  Grease and Wax

iii. Petroleum Pipelines

Petroleum pipelines are all parts of those physical facilities through which the petroleum moves in

transport including pipes, valves and other appurtenances attached to the pipes, pumps, compressor

units, meters, regulators and fabricated assemblies. 

iv. Bulk Storage Facility

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage system from tanks or cylinders (exceeding two 50-kg industrial

cylinders) 

v. Petroleum Equipment

Petroleum equipment is all parts of those physical facilities attached to the petroleum pipelines such

as the valves, meters and regulators. 

Scope of Application of the Petroleum (Transport by Pipelines) Regulations 1985

i. Permission to Install (PTI) and Operate (PTO) Petroleum Pipelines

 Applications for PTI and PTO should be submitted for:

a) Pipelines transporting liquefied petroleum between production facilities, tank farms, natural gas

processing plants, refineries, service stations, terminals (marine, rail and truck) and other delivery and

receiving points.

b) Pipelines transporting natural gas from the outlet of separators or traps at oil wells until the outlet of

the customer's meter set assembly including gas processing plants, and metering and regulating

stations. (Installation of pipelines after the city gate station until before the metering and regulatingstation in the factory is subject to the Gas Supplies Act 1993.)

 All design, fabrication, installation, testing and the safety aspect of the operation and maintenance of

pipelines transporting natural gas shall meet the ASME B 31.8 Code of Standards, and ASME B 31.4

Code of Standards for pipelines transporting liquefied petroleum. See Diagram 1.

ii. Permission to Install (PTI) Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Bulk Storage Facility and Gas

Fuel Pipeline System to Combustors (Appliances)

 All substances that are derived from petroleum, i.e.:

a. Installation of two or more LPG cylinders in factory premises. See Diagram 2. 

b. Installation of two liquid outlet system LPG cylinders in any premises.

c. Installation of LPG bulk tank (200 kg, 2.5 kL, 10 kL, 60 KL, etc) in any premises. See Diagram 3. 

d. Installation of gas (fuel gas) pipelines in factory premises. See Diagram 4. 

e. Installation of gas (fuel gas) pipelines in power plants and petrochemical plants. See Diagram 1. 

 All designs, installation, testing and the safety aspect of the installation of systems a, b, d and d above

shall comply with the MS 830 and MS 930 design code.

Meanwhile, for the installation of system d, the design code applicable is ASME B 31.1 (installation ofgas pipelines in power plant) and ASME B 31.3 (installation pipelines in petrochemical plant).

iii. Petroleum Equipment Approval

 Application for approval of the use of petroleum equipment shall be obtained for all types of valve

(e.g. ball valve, check valve, gate valve, meters, regulators, monolithic joints). 

Application
