For one of Fertiliser project, there is a Hot Gas generator for supplying Hot gas ( fuel is Natural gas / Diesel Oil)to the Rotary Drier to dry the fertiliser granules. It has been specified in the equipment data that API 560 and RP 556 is applicable for this. Where as these standards are mainly applicable for the Petrochemical / General Refinery service. My question here is " Whether Hot gas generators (HGG) for applications as indicated above should comply with API 560 and RP 556? I think it will only increase the cost. However vendor also says that these standards are not applicable for these HGGs. They have agreed to comply with NFPA 85 also. The required flow rate of the gas is 1,50,000 m3/hr at 100 to 125 deg C. ( given to understand the size of the unit) Pl advise
