ALLOW PRODUCTION TO FLOW INTO SPEC 1 FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO FLUSH THE PRODUCTION LINE. ______ 8. OPEN THE PRODUCTION LINE TO SPEC 11 OR SPEC 12 AS PER LEAD OPERATOR. CLOSE THE PRODUCTION LINE TO SPEC 1. Note the beginning level of the production tank so that the correct amount of stabilizer can be added. ______ 9. NOTIFY THE LEAD OPERATOR AND THE MC OPERATOR THAT PRODUCTION HAS BEEN SPLIT. ASK IF THE LEVEL IN THE PHASE SEPARATOR IS OK. ______ 10. CHECK THE LEVEL IN THE PRODUCTION TANK PERIODICALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS COMING UP AND TO PREVENT OVERFILLING. ALSO CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OTHER SPEC TANK LEVELS ARE HOLDING.

IF THE BEGINNING LEVEL OF THE TANK WAS EMPTY, SET THE SMITH METER ON THE STABILIZING PUMP TO 30 GALLONS. IF THERE WAS A LEVEL IN THE TANK PRIOR TO SWITCHING PRODUCTION, ADJUST THE AMOUNT OF STABILIZER TO BE ADDED USING THE STAB PROGRAM. 17. CHECK THE BLOCK VALVES ON THE TBL/MC, TLE AND DME TANKS AND LINES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CLOSED TO PREVENT CROSS CONTAMINATION. OPEN THE SUCTION VALVE AND THE BLOCK VALVES FROM THE BLM TANK TO THE STABILIZER PUMP. 18. OPEN THE SUCTION AND DISCHARGE VALVES ON THE STAB PUMP. OPEN THE VALVE ON THE STAB LINE LEADING TO THE SPEC TANK THAT IS BEING STABILIZED. 19. PULL THE HANDLE ON THE SMITH METER AND TURN ON THE PUMP. Don't leave the pump while stabilizing. The meter doesn't always shut off at the set amount. 20 AFTER THE SET AMOUNT OF BLM HAS PUMPED INTO THE PRODUCTION TANK, TURN OFF THE PUMP.

Distric Order o. t Court * NOTE: To make MC product type 343 in Spec 11 or Spec 12, only 30 gallons of BLM is required. Therefore, when the tank is being prestabilized it is also being stabilized for the final product. Porto 2 of 4 SL 006416 ______ 21.

If this is done, note the time of top off to make sure that it recirculates for 8 hours after top off before a sample is caught. There may be a time when the tank cannot be put on recirculation before or at the time of top off due to other lines being used that tie in to the same lines of the tank. As soon as it is possible to put the tank on recirculation, do so and note the time. It must recirculate for 8 hours before sampling.
