Decommissioning
10 Decommissioning
The work described in this section is only to
be performed by personnel appropriately
qualified to carry out such tasks.
Risk of bursting due to incorrect opening of
pressurized equipment or components.
Valves and pipelines are pressure equipment
that may burst when handled incorrectly.
Flying projectile fragments or the release of
process medium under pressure can cause
serious injury or even death.
Before working on the control valve:
Î
Depressurize all plant sections affected
and the valve (including the actuator).
Release any stored energy.
Î
Drain the process medium from all the
plant sections concerned as well as the
valve.
Risk of burn injuries due to hot or cold com-
ponents and pipeline.
Valve components and the pipeline may be-
come very hot or cold. Risk of burn injuries.
Î
Allow components and pipelines to cool
down or warm up to the ambient tem-
perature.
Î
Wear protective clothing and safety
gloves.
Risk of personal injury due to pressurized
components and process medium being
discharged.
Î
Do not loosen the screw of the test con-
nection while the valve is pressurized.
Risk of hearing loss or deafness due to loud
noise.
Noise emission (e.g. cavitation or flashing)
may occur during operation caused by the
process medium and the operating
conditions. Additionally, a loud noise may
briefly occur through the sudden venting of
the pneumatic actuator or pneumatic valve
accessories not fitted with noise-reducing
fittings. Both can damage hearing.
Î
Wear hearing protection when working
near the valve.
Crush hazard arising from moving parts
(actuator and piston stem).
Î
Do not insert hands or finger into the
yoke while the air supply is connected to
the actuator.
Î
Before working on the control valve,
disconnect and lock the pneumatic air
supply as well as the control signal.
Î
Do not impede the movement of the
actuator and piston stem by inserting
objects into the yoke.
