Transcript John F. Kennedy Intl Airport Case Study

Aviation Fuel System
Leak Detection
at JFK Intl Airport, NY
Charlie Fenton - HCNA
Why Test?
New York State DEC 10 year MOSF pipeline
testing requirement
 Section 6NYCRR, Part 613.6 “Handling and Storage of
Petroleum”
 Standard Test Procedures for Evaluating Leak
Detection Methods: Pipeline Leak Detection Systems,
EPSA/530/UST-90/010
Leak Detection System Technology Requirements
 3rd Party Evaluated
 Listing on NWGLDE
 MDLR of .0038% line volume @ normal operating
pressure with a PD of 95% and PFA of 5%
JFK Airport Fuel System-Overview
North Transmission Lines
Bulk Fuel Farm
10 Lines to Terminals 6, 7, 8
62 Tanks w/ associated pipeline
Terminal Hydrant Lines
8 Systems with unique isolation, surge
suppression, fueling schedules
Transfer Lines
6 Lines transfer all fuel from
Bulk to Satellite Fuel Farms
Satellite Fuel Farm
40 Tanks w/ associated pipeline
South Transmission Lines
16 Lines to Terminals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Project
Project conducted in phases
1. Six Fuel Farm Transfer Lines
2. Eight Terminal Hydrant Systems
• All individually contracted
3. 27 Transmission Lines
4. Bulk and Satellite Fuel Farm Tank Lines
Common to all projects
 Testing scheduled with fuel operator
• Operations would need to continue
 Isolation required for every line tested
HCNA Leak Detection System-Concept
 Dual Pressure Step Method
 Test section must be fully
isolated for duration of test
 No fuel movement during test
 Connect Trailer to Test Section
 45 minute test duration
 Capable of detecting a leak of 0.068 gal/hr or 0.002%
of line volume at a PD>95% and PFA<5% at reference
pressure of 145psi
 Leak Simulation confirms Test Result
Project Phase 1:
Bulk to Satellite Transfer Lines - “Lifeline of JFK”
Proving the concept: Will testing at JFK work???
September 28-29, 2009: All parties involved
Testing Successful! Concept Proven!!
Project Phase 2:
Terminal Hydrant Pipeline
 Contracted individually for each
terminal
 Unique testing conditions,
scheduling, and configurations
for each terminal
 To accommodate fueling
operations, testing was
performed during the day and
night
 Strict 4 hour hydrant shutdown
windows
 Escort required at all times
JFK Hydrant Line
Testing Example: Terminal 4
 Terminal 4
 9 hydrant lines
 5 separate test sections
 2 concourses + hardstand
 Isolation of fuel lines
 Four isolation pits
 16 surge suppressor pits
 Test connections
 HPVs and/or LPDs
 Jumper hoses
 Day/night scheduling
 Vault access
Project Phase 3:
Transmission Lines
 26 lines transmit fuel from Satellite
Fuel Farm to each terminal’s hydrant
lines
 3 or 4 transmission lines dedicated to
each of the 8 terminals
 HCNA test connections made at
Satellite Fuel Farm
 Coordinated with each terminal which
lines would be shutdown for testing
 PA assisted HCNA in isolation
procedures

Performed at each isolation vault
adjacent to terminals
 When possible, multiple sections
tested simultaneously
JFK Transmission Lines
Example: Terminal 1
 3 Transmission Lines
 At least one line
allocated for fueling
operations during
testing
 Isolation vault accessed
in busy fueling apron
 PA assistance
 No contractor needed
for isolation
requirements
Project Phase 4:
Fuel Farms
Bulk Fuel Farm
 127 pipeline test sections
 Consolidated into 73 after
testing was complete
 Using HCNA LDS, operations
continued despite testing
 timing and fuel rerouting
 Testing completed in 12 weeks
(51 days of testing)
Satellite Fuel Farm
 72 pipeline test sections
 No impact to fueling
operations
 Using chemical marker
technology, operations
continued despite testing
 Testing completed in 7
weeks
Bulk Fuel Farm Test Section
“Fill F/S 7,8”
 Constant operational use

Immediately downstream of Buckeye
Partners, L.P. operations
 Inactive headers

Excessive air
 Above and below ground pipe segments

Trapped air
 Valves
 Check valves
 Poor isolating butterfly valves (BFV)
at filter station
 Poor isolating double block and bleed
valves on Buckeye manifold
 Non-functioning plug valves
 No test connection points
Bulk Fuel Farm Test Section
“Fill F/S 7,8”
Problem
HCNA Solution
 Constant operational use
 Check valves
 Poor isolation of butterfly
valves
 Poor isolation on Buckeye
manifold
 Non-functioning plug valves
 Trapped air in high point areas
 High traffic area by testing rig
 Lack of connection points
Non-utilized bypass line
Jumper hose
Back-up with additional inline valves
Buckeye repaired overdue
valve bodies
Added in separate section
Flushed line into vactruck
Restricted fuel truck access
Utilized thermal wells

Conclusion
 Tightness Testing the most complex, largest Airport fuel
system in U.S.
 20,500,000 gallons of total fuel storage at any time
• 2,078,000 gallons of line fill
 ~3,500,000 gallons of daily throughput
• Replenishing pipeline about 2x per day
 Successfully performed all leak detection activities without
any impact on Airport Operations
 Right plan, right partners
• Successfully tested and complied with State Requirements
We did it
So can you!
