1.0 1.1

INTRODUCTION General This specification sets out the minimum requirements and the standards for surface treatment and painting and galvanizing for EMAL project.

1.2

Purpose The purpose of this specification is to provide guidelines for corrosion control measures in the design and operations of facilities under the jurisdiction of the EMAL facilities. These guidelines are aimed at providing useful information to be incorporated during design, selection of materials and corrosion control methods, and other related design aspects.

1.3

Scope This specification provides guidance for selecting adequate preparation and coating system to minimize corrosion. Guidelines are provided in order to promote high level of design quality, as well as uniformity of practices. This specification is confined to corrosion protection for metallic structures (local fabricated and bulk finished overseas), piping and equipment exposed to atmospheric, soil, groundwater, and marine environments. The most common corrosion control methods, appropriate materials and application requirements are presented in this specification. Also provided is the list of preferred paint manufacturers and products. This specification is applicable to all carbon steel and low allow (9% chrome or less) steels. Stainless steel, aluminium and high-alloy materials exposed to the saline environment require special protection which needs to be specified and approved on a case by case basis.

1.4

Environmental Conditions The EMAL plant is located on the coast of UAE, with high salinity, high temperatures and high humidity environment with wind borne salts and sands. Refer to Data Sheet 503406-0000-40ED-0022 (Basis of Design Geotechnical Data) and 503406-000040EC-0003 (Site Conditions) for more details. These conditions require that steelwork be given a high degree of protection. Its corresponding atmospheric corrosive category in compliance with EN-ISO-12944-2 is mainly C4 Industrial and Coastal Environment and C5-M Offshore Environments. Appendix D provides a specific classification of the operating conditions of the facilities. In general Paint System S1b shall be used for all onshore structural steel works and onshore equipment located outside and inside production facilities. Refer to Appendices A to E for specific applications.

1.5

Durability The required durability range for this project is > 15 years (high). The warranty is covered in Section 3 of this document. This can be clarified by Standard EN ISO 12944-1 which states The durability range is not a guarantee time. Durability is a technical consideration that can help the owner set up a maintenance programme. A guarantee time is a consideration that is the legal subject of clauses in the administrative part of the contract. The guarantee time is usually shorter than the durability range. There are no rules that link the two periods of time. Codes, Standard Specifications and government regulations

BRIGHT PARTS All bright parts and non painted surfaces shall be coated with grease, oil or other approved rust preventative before dispatch and during erection. This protective coating shall be cleaned off and the parts polished before being handed over.

5.0

CLEANING AND PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS The surfaces to be painted shall be cleaned and prepared in accordance with the more stringent of the paint system schedule in this specification or the Manufacturers requirements. Weld spatter and laminations shall be removed and sharp or rough welds rounded and contoured. Sharp edges shall be rounded or chamfered. Surfaces to be coated shall be cleaned of dirt and dust, free of all salt, grease, oil, loose rust, and loose mill scale. Oil and grease shall be removed by solvent cleaning methods. Where lapped or butted joints form part of an assembly, which is assembled or part assembled prior to final painting, the jointed surfaces shall be cleaned free from all scales, loose rust, dirt and grease and given one brush applied coat of Zinc Phosphate Primer before assembly. Steel sections and plates shall be free from surface flaws and laminations prior to blast cleaning and shall not be in worse conditions than the pictorial standard B of the Swedish standard SIS 05 59 00; and Under no circumstances should abrasive cleaning and painting be carried out simultaneously when there is a possibility particulate matter from the cleaning will contaminate the paint being applied. Subsequent to the blasting operation and immediately prior to the application of the primer coat, the blasted surface shall be blown down with dry, clean air to remove dust and any other loose particles.

6.0 6.1

PAINTING APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS General The painting of the works shall be carried out in accordance with the schedules in this specification. The schedules indicate standards of surface preparations and painting, which are intended to give a minimum life of 10 years in a coastal environment. The EPCM Engineer may consider alternative paint schemes to meet the requirements of fabrication using modern automated material handling systems, provided they offer the same standards of surface protection and service life as those intended by the schedules.

6.2

Maximum Exposure of Blasted Surfaces It is the Contractor / Vendor's responsibility to ensure that the prime coat is applied to the blast-cleaned surface before any surface deterioration occurs. The maximum time period between abrasive blast cleaning and priming shall be four (4) hours. This time is dependent on prevailing conditions and may need to be reduced, particularly in marine environments. In these circumstances, the Manufacturers and or EPCM Contractors direction should be sought.

6.3

Method of Application All paints shall be applied by brush, roller or spray in accordance with the schedule, except for priming coats for steel floors, galleries and stairways where dipping is permitted. Where paint is to be applied by spray, the painter shall demonstrate that the spray technique employed does not produce paint films containing vacuoles.

6.4

Climatic Conditions Paint shall not be applied to surfaces, which are superficially or structurally damp and condensation must be absent before the application of each coat. Painting shall not be carried out under adverse weather conditions, such as low temperature (below 4C) or when the surfaces are less then 3C above dew point, during rain or fog or relative humidity above 90% or during sandstorms.

6.5

Time between Coats of Paint Manufacturer's recommendations for re-coating times should be strictly observed to ensure good adhesion, after taking account of the existing climatic conditions. When painting hot surfaces, Seller/Contractors are reminded that curing time decreases as temperature increases and the time between coats needs to be adjusted to suit. Contamination between coats shall be avoided by minimizing time between coats. Should any contamination occur, then the painted surfaces shall be cleaned by scrubbing with copious quantities of clean water or by using a high-pressure water blast. Where the contamination (e.g. oil and grease) cannot be removed completely, a suitable solvent shall be obtained from the paint manufacturer and used, followed by scrubbing and washing as above. Detergents may be required depending on the nature of the contamination, however, the use of detergents or solvents will only be at the specific approval of the EPCM Engineer. Where the surface has become dirty (as opposed to contaminated) or has been exposed in the open air for more than two days, it shall be scrubbed down with a 2% solution of Teepol and hosed with clean water. Paint shall not be applied to wet or damp surfaces.

Contamination by solid particles shall be removed by rubbing down with emery paper or in severe cases, by "whip" blasting. If either method is unsuccessful, then blasting back to bare metal will be required. It is the Vendor's responsibility to take precautions to prevent contamination during the application of paint. Paint coats found to contain contaminants distributed through the film shall be blasted back and re-coated to this specification. 6.6 Coating Application Coating application shall comply with the paint manufacturers recommendation and specification. Thinners may only be used when following the manufacturers recommendations. On sheltered or unventilated horizontal surfaces on which dew may linger, more protection is needed and to achieve this, an additional top coat of paint shall be applied. All paint film thicknesses given are minimum values and refer to the dry film condition. The Contractor / Vendor shall generally provide finished colors, which match, as near as is practical, the colors of similar items in the existing installation. 6.7 Surface Finish All coated surfaces shall be uniform in colour, free from missed areas, pinholes, sags, runs, drippings, or other imperfections likely to result in premature failure of the protective coating. 6.8 Repairs to Welds and Damaged Areas Areas affected by welding and the weld itself shall be, where possible, abrasive blast cleaned in accordance with this paint system schedule. All traces of spatter, flux, oxides and other residues shall be removed prior to painting. Painting must not proceed until these impurities are removed. It is expected that weld profiles be smooth and present a reasonable surface for painting. Local grinding of unsatisfactory profiles may be required. Areas damaged in handling or transport shall be locally repaired by blasting and painting in accordance with this specification (re-instated to full coating system primer to topcoat). All adjoining paint films shall be "feathered" carefully to ensure maximum adhesion. Any damage made to others equipment, piping or steelwork during any part of delivery or installation shall be rectified by the Contractor / Vendor who made the damage.

Should abrasive blast cleaning not be possible, then power tool cleaning may be employed, subject to the EPCM Contractors approval. This is a non-preferred method and if applied, shall produce a finish equivalent to that of abrasive blast cleaning. 7.0 7.1 TESTING AND INSPECTION General Complete inspection and test records shall be maintained for all work carried out. Inspection certificates and reports, or in the case of accredited quality systems, compliance certificates, shall be provided to the EPCM Contractor at the completion of work. It is the Contractor / Vendor's responsibility to ensure that all the requirements of this specification are achieved and the quality control is in compliance with the approved ITP of the package. The EPCM Contractor reserves the right to carry out on-going inspections throughout the course of the work, however, this does not imply acceptance in the event of subsequent defective work being found. Should the EPCM Contractors inspection identify defects in the work, the Contractor / Vendor shall rectify any such sub-standard work. The Contractor / Vendor shall be responsible for ensuring that detailed inspection and tests are performed in accordance with the relevant Codes and Standards. None of the EPCMs inspections, or others not noted, will relieve the Contractor / Vendor of responsibility for Contractor / Vendors own required inspection activity and acceptance program. Where preparation and application are outside the approved quality system, third party supervision shall be implemented by the Contractor / Vendor, acceptable to the EPCM Contractor. For thickness 250 m and above pull off testing shall be performed. 7.2 Surface Preparation Priming coats of paint shall not be applied until the surfaces have been inspected and preparatory work has been approved. Profile measurements for abrasive blast cleaned surface shall be made with a Keane Tator Profile Comparator, Clemtec Anchor Profile Chips, Testex Press-O-Film or other method suitable for the abrasive being used and approved. See appendix B for required profile amplitudes. 7.3 Dry Film Thickness Dry film thickness shall be measured and recorded after each coat. Dry film thickness measurements shall be made in accordance with BS EN ISO 2808, for methods, determinations and number of readings.

The surface shall be no worse than those defined under surface condition of the standards BS EN ISO 4628-3, BS EN ISO 12944 1 to 8 and BS EN ISO 14713. If upon visual inspection, loss of adhesion is suspected or found, an adhesion test (cross cut and pull off, depending of the thickness) shall be performed in accordance to BS EN 2409 or ISO 4624. The entire part/equipment coating exhibiting less than 15 kg/cm2 adhesion shall be rejected and repaired.

7.5

Preparation for Transport Packing instructions shall be in accordance with the requirements detailed in the Commercial Notes of the Material Requisition. Where items are required to be painted prior to delivery, suitable arrangements shall be made to ensure that damage is not sustained to the coating during handling and transport. Contractor / Vendors shall provide an adequate quantity of touch-up paint to effect minor repairs on site. A copy of the Manufacturers Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) shall be with the shipment as well as issued with the packing list. Equipment and components shall not be handled until the coating has completely cured and dried hard. Particular care shall be taken to avoid damage to coatings in handling and transport. To this end, rubber coated or softly padded slings shall be used and soft pads placed beneath and between items when they are stacked and transported. Similar measures shall be taken with ropes etc. used for holding items down during transport. Wherever possible, supports in contact with coated steel during transport and storage shall be covered with a soft material such as rubber or cloth to minimise damage to the coating. Hessian sacks and bags may be used during transportation between coated items and holding down chains to prevent damage to the coating. The Contractor / Vendor shall specify any recommended protection procedures for equipment that is to be stored on site for long periods of time.

The roughening shall be confined to the net area of the adjoining surface. When painting is required over galvanized surfaces, the galvanized surface shall be roughened by sweep blasting or chemical treatment prior to painting. 9.5 Galvanizing Nuts and Bolts Structural bolts, anchor bolts, nuts and washers, including general grade high strength friction grip bolts shall be hot-dip galvanized and subsequently centrifuged in accordance with the standard BS EN ISO 1461. Nuts shall be tapped up to 0.4 mm oversize after galvanizing and the threads oiled to permit the nuts to be finger-turned on the bolt for the full depth of the nut. No lubricant, applied to the projecting threads of a galvanized high strength friction grip bolt after the bolt has been inserted through the steelwork, shall come into contact with the adjoining surfaces. 9.6 Transportation and Erection During off-loading and erection, the use of nylon slings shall be employed. Galvanized work, which is to be stored in the shop or on the site, shall be stacked so as to provide adequate ventilation to all surfaces and to avoid wet storage staining (white rust). 9.7 Repair to Galvanizing Small areas up to one square meter of the galvanized coating damaged in any way shall be restored by: Cleaning the area of any weld slag and thoroughly wire brushing to give a clean surface. The application of two coats of zinc rich paint, or the application of a low melting point Zinc Alloy repair rod or powder to the damaged area, which is heated to 300C after. Large damaged areas shall be cleaned and regalvanized in galvanizing shop. 10.0 SITE PAINTING In addition to the requirements listed in this specification, the following requirements apply to Site Painting:

Paints, catalysts and thinners shall be stored in well ventilated buildings, free from excessive heat, sparks, flames and direct sunlight. Paints stored for short times on the job site shall be protected from direct sunlight. A register of all materials, batch number, date of manufacture quantities and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) shall be developed and maintained, and submitted for approval before start of painting work. Containers of paint, catalysts and thinners shall not be opened prior to use, except for spot inspection. They shall then be tightly resealed after inspection. Coatings and primers delivered to the job site shall be in the original, unopened containers bearing the manufacturer's name, product designation, batch number and date of manufacture. Before application, they shall be stirred or agitated until the ingredients are completely mixed. Materials which have exceeded the manufacturer's recommended shelf life shall not be used and shall be removed from the site. Materials shall be used on a first in, first out basis. Any material that arrives on site in opened or damaged containers shall be immediately quarantined and removed from the site to prevent its use. During construction, pressure pack containers will be permitted for some applications. However, once commissioning of smelter operations have commenced, all pressure pack containers shall be registered and logged in and out of the site and all empty packs shall be accounted for. Precautionary measures (use of drop sheets and shields) shall be taken to prevent damage caused by wind-blown overspray or spatter on adjacent equipment/structures. Precautionary measures shall be taken to protect nameplates, nametags, glasses on temperature indicators, pressure gauges, level instruments, etc., by masking or applying a heavy coat of lubricant. Operating mechanisms, such as valve stems and valve positioners must also be protected. Masking, protective coverings and lubricant shall be removed after completion of all work. Prior to coating, equipment piping and structural steel shall be cleaned, including removal of dirt and dust which normally accumulates during storage and construction. Although it is preferred that all equipment, piping and structural steel be fully painted prior to arrival on site, for equipment, piping and structural steel that has received a shop primer coat only, the Contractor shall touch up the shop primer coat where damaged and apply additional coats in accordance with the coating schedule. The Contractor shall ensure compatibility between shop and field applied paint systems. Sands shall not be used in any blast cleaning operations, either on site or off site, for lack of efficiency, economic, and dust generation. Copper slag and nickel slag are an acceptable abrasive.

Appendix D OPERATING ENVIRONMENT CONDITION Note 1

A Category C3 - Mildly Corrosive Environment Areas considered to be a mild corrosive environment are: Interior of non process buildings, maintenance shops and electrical buildings sheltered from outside environment for which the corrosion stresses are generally insignificant. However due to long exposure during the construction phase and entry of fresh air through the ventilation system the atmospheric corrosive category is considered as C3 medium. C C5-M Severely Corrosive Marine Environment Areas considered to be a severely corrosive environment are: Marine Splash Zone Marine structures close to sea level Other immersed structures or those subject to constant or intermittent wetting and drying or damp conditions. All marine piles (jetty, dolphins, ropeway trestles etc.) Structural steelwork below jetty/access roadway deck Launch landing platform Launch jetty

Corrosion protection in ISO 12944 C5-M Offshore Environments is being addressed via new standard (ISO 20340) dedicated to this environment. B- Category C4 High Corrosive Marine Environment (coastal areas with moderate salinity) Areas considered to be a very high corrosive marine environment are: Marine structures higher than sea level, away from Splash Zone Production area inside semi covered building (e.g. Industrial Production shop) Exposed element outside industrial shop and buildings (not covered or partially covered) e.g. structural steelwork, chillers, dust collector, conveyor, steel tank, pipe rack, etc.

Note 1: The Corrosive categories are in compliance with EN-ISO-12944-2
