ANNEXURE-III

SCOPE OF WORK
Sub: Repair of Regeneration Columns C-1202 and C-1302 of GSU-12 and GSU-13 Plants at
ONGC Uran Plant, Uran
The GSU units of plant removes the shore content like H2S & CO2 from hydrocarbon gas before
extracting the LPG,C2C3,LAN and sweet lean gas.
During the turnaround inspection of the columns C-1202 and C-1302, it is found that there is
thickness loss at various location on columns from inside as well as outside also. The thickness
loss has to be repaired for the service of the remaining life of the columns.
The repairing of columns has to be done by lap band repair at some of the location, at other
locations by weld build up. At some location SS cladding (inside the column C-1302) is
damaged, hence an internal repair including the replacement at some portion and patch weld/
weld build up repair at some location of clad/column is to be carried out.
