Purpose of this document
The purpose of this document is to describe the general operating philosophy which
is the basis for the design of the above mentioned power plants in relation to the
automation, instrumentation and equipment installed in the different systems to
enable this operating philosophy.
This document does not intend to give a detailed operating description of all logic,
interlocks and (auto) sequencing for each of the individual systems which will be
included in the Gulf projects. For this level of detail we refer to the system
descriptions of the individual systems, which will go in to much further detail than
this plant operating philosophy. The system descriptions will be issued during the
design process of the plant and the development of the control logic for the DCS.
