Condition of Approval #22 : Hazard and Operability Study
This condition requires Shell Oil to prepare a Hazard and
Operability Study and accident consequence analysis for all
elements of the Clean Fuels Project with the exception of the
office building, the control rooms and the maintenance/warehouse
buildings .
Shell Oil Company completed the required study for the Sour Water
Tank, the Sulfur Recovery Unit No. 4 and the Delayed Coker Unit.
This information was evaluated by the Risk Management and
Prevention Program Team of the Health Services Department. Their
review included a detailed line-by-line examination of the Hazard
and Operability Studies for these units which includes a review of
the safety system designs and operational and maintenance programs.
The Health Services Department staff has field checked the units,
which-.are still under construction, to verify that they conform to
the design presented in the Hazard and Operability Studies.

SUBJECT: SHELL REFINERY CLEAN FUELS PROJECT
CONDITION #22, FOR THE:
SOUR WATER TANK,
SULFUR RECOVERY UNIT NO. 4 AND,
DELAYED COKER UNIT
Executive Summary:
The Contra Costa County Health Services Department (CCCHSD) Hazardous Materials Risk
Management and Prevention Program team has completed the Clean Fuels Project review for the
Sour Water Tank (SWT), Sulfur Recovery Unit No. 4 (SRU#4), and the Delayed Coker Unit
(DCU). Shell plans to start-up the SWT and SRU#4 about September 2, 1996 and the DCU
about November 18, 1996. Shell submitted a summary of the Hazard and Operability Studies
(HAZOP) to you and CCCHSD on October 10, 1995 (SWT), November 27, 1995 (SRU#4) and
January 11, 1996 (DCU).
CCCHSD Findings:
My staff has performed a detailed line-by-line examination of the HAZOP studies for these units
that included our reviewing the design of safety systems as well as operational and maintenance
issues. Additionally, my staff has field checked the units, which are still under construction, to
verify that they basically conform to the design presented in the HAZOP.
4333 Pacheco Boulevard - Mar(Jnqz1,,Qa1ifornia,94,553 (51,0) 646-2286
We find that the Shell HAZOP studies adequately identify process hazards and safeguards and
that additional engineering or operational controls are not required. We did suggest six
additional desirable discretionary alarms for the Delayed Coker Unit that Shell has agreed to
install.
CCCHSD Recommendation:
We recommend your approval of the HAZOP studies for the Sour Water Tank, Sulfur Recovery
Unit No. 4 and the Delayed Coker Unit in accordance with Condition 22.
Condition 23•
Prior to start-up my staff will ensure that, consistent with Condition #23, Shell demonstrates to
our satisfaction that the measures detailed in the approved HAZOP studies have been
implemented. We will notify you in writing of our findings so you can seek Board of
Supervisors ratification of compliance with Condition 23.
