The conference takes place from October 5 to 7, 2015, and is followed by Tutorials on October 8, Under the sponsorship of the Industry Applications Society (IAS), the PCIC conference is the premier annual application meeting for practicing electrical engineers in the petroleum and chemical industry. Respected for the high quality and practical application of its technical papers, PCIC attracts a worldwide audience. The 2015 technical program features a slate of 54 papers that focus on the technology and issues faced by electrical engineering in the petrochemical industry. The PCIC also sponsors a number of standards activities during the conference.

2 Welcome to Houston IEEE/IAS PCIC 2015 `Page 1 On behalf of the IEEE IAS PCIC 2015 Local Committee and the IEEE Houston Section, it is our pleasure to welcome you to Houston and to the Hilton Americas, our host hotel for the 62 nd IEEE IAS PCIC Conference to be held October 5-7, Houston has hosted the PCIC a record 8 times, the first being in In 1836, the Allen brothers were seeking a location where they could begin building a great center of government and commerce and purchased land in an area then known as Allen s Landing. The city to be was named after Sam Houston, the hero of the battle of San Jacinto and the first President of the Republic of Texas, which from 1836 to 1846 was an independent sovereign country, and whose flag stood as the fourth of the six flags which flew over Texas throughout its history. From those early beginnings we have grown to the country s fourth-largest city and third-largest county (Harris). At 655 square miles, the City of Houston could contain the cities of New York, Washington, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Minneapolis and Miami. With more than 2.3 million residents, the city attracts visitors and transplants with a wonderful mix of world-class arts, booming businesses, pro sports and award-winning cuisine. Houston is the nation s demographic future, with balanced racial diversity and more than 90 different languages spoken in the city. Houston is considered to have one of the best culinary scenes in the country, with cuisine from around the world. Countless cutting-edge chefs have made a home in Houston, where diners eat out more than residents of any other city. There are more than 10,000 restaurants in the Houston area with culinary choices that represent more than 70 countries and American regions. Not surprisingly, businesses also recognize the allure of Houston s offerings. Twenty-five companies on the Fortune 500 list call the Energy Capital of the World home. Aeronautic research is unsurpassed at NASA headquarters the facility responsible for putting the first man on the moon and the Texas Medical Center remains the largest in the world. As the rest of the country discovers what locals have known all along, Houston is now enjoying the recognition it deserves. Just last year, the city landed on several best of lists, including the Travel + Leisure roundup of America s Favorite Cities and the Hotwire.com index of most affordable U.S. vacation destinations. For over 60 years the PCIC has provided an international forum for the exchange of electrical applications technology related to the petroleum and chemical industry. PCIC has a long and storied history. The PCIC brand has been used to host a number of international conferences (PCIC Brazil, PCIC India, PCIC Europe and PCIC Mexico). The success of the PCIC brand is built upon high quality papers, personal recognition and reward, valued standards activities, mentoring, tutorials and networking. From the city which established a place in history when astronaut Neil Armstrong spoke the now-famous line, Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed, we welcome you to the 2015 IEEE IAS PCIC Conference and hope you discover as we have there s no place quite like Houston. Donald G.

4 About the IEEE PCIC Conference `Page 3 The annual IEEE-PCIC conference is an exchange of technical ideas not a trade show that brings together professionals with a common focus on electrical installations and safety. The PCIC Executive and Local Conference Committees take great pride in providing a high quality conference while keeping registration and participation costs reasonable. PCIC is the best educational value for anyone working in the petrochemical electrical field. Here s why: Conference papers and tutorials are authored by many of the most respected minds in the industry. Great care is taken to ensure that presentations are free of commercial content. Many PCIC members participate in writing industry standards. Working groups meet prior to the start of the conference to work on standards for the IEEE, API and other organizations. These meetings are open to all conference registrants. Vendors are an integral part of PCIC. They support the technical and professional goals of the conference, author papers, sponsor conference functions and host evening hospitality events. Vendor participation is encouraged and welcomed. All vendors must follow the PCIC etiquette rules. Conference Activities Dress Code: For Conference Papers, Tutorials and Working Group/Standards Meetings, business casual attire for the attendee is acceptable and appropriate. Technical session leaders and paper presenters must wear professional business attire. (For gentlemen, this means a suit or sports jacket with tie; for ladies this means a dress, business suit, etc) For the Monday Night Social, semi-formal attire is required. Conference attendees work hard during the day but after the technical sessions conclude there s time to unwind, reconnect with old friends and network through after-hours socializing. Events listed in the PCIC Hospitality and Social Calendar are open at no additional charge to all attendees that have registered for the full conference along with their guests. Major conference events include: The Sunday Conference Welcome Reception and the Tailgate Party. Held the day before the conference begins, these two long running events welcome attendees and their guests. The Monday Night Social. Sponsored by the Local Committee, this is PCIC s premier social event. This year s Monday Night Social will highlight a Taste of Texas. You will not want to miss this opportunity to meet friends and colleagues in this relaxed, elegant cocktail setting, held in the Grand Ballroom on the fourth floor from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. Large Social Events. Many vendors host major on-site hospitality events in the evenings where a good time is had by all. Vendor Hospitality Suites. Suites are open in the evening after the conference sessions. Consult the Social Calendar and PCIC App for the days and locations of these events. Nametags and lanyards are provided in the registration packet for the attendee and their guest. These items identify you as a registered conference participant. A nametag is required when attending any of the PCIC breakfasts, meetings, luncheons, social functions or hospitality suites.

The following surveys are offered: General Survey Authors Survey Guest Survey First Time Attendees Survey You only need to fill out one of the surveys, so please pick the one that is most appropriate.

8 Myron Zucker Student Travel Program `Page 7 It is vital for the ongoing success of the Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee to attract young, new Electrical Engineering talent who would greatly benefit from attending, but are prevented from participating due to financial restrictions. Recognizing this, the PCIC has arranged with the IEEE Industrial Applications Society (IAS) to sponsor up to four Co-op/Intern Students or recent graduates to attend the conference through the Myron Zucker Student Travel Program. The Myron Zucker Student Travel Program, which is administered by the Young Engineers Development Subcommittee (YEDS), provides the following benefits for the winning recipients: $600 travel allowance Free Hotel Registration Free Conference Registration as a Student One Free Tutorial In order to be considered for the program the applicants shall: Be an engineering Co-op/Intern student, or have graduated less than 2 years ago from a recognized university, college or technical school. Be 21 years of age or older. Complete the application form, which is available on-line at Submit, with the application form, a 200-word essay describing the importance of attending the PCIC technical conference. Be an Intern or be involved as a co-op worker for a company with one or more members who are full conference registrants; one of whom will vouch for the applicant on the application form. Be a Student member of IEEE. Become a member of the Young Engineers Development Subcommittee (YEDS) by attending the PCIC Orientation Breakfast and YEDS Luncheon. Attend the Monday and Wednesday Luncheons. Attend the general program meeting, technical paper presentations and one sub-committee meeting. Applicants who are presenting papers at the conference or otherwise require full registration are not eligible for the Myron Zucker Student Travel Program as the program will only pay for Student Registration. The recipients employers must be willing to pay the applicant their normal salary while they are at the conference, and only one attendee per company will be allowed. The selection of the recipients will be based on the quality of the submitted essays, which will undergo a subjective selection process by the appropriate committee.

10 Professional Development Hours (PDH) and Continuing Education Units (CEU) `Page 9 Many professional engineering organizations require continued learning to stay current with changing technology, procedures, practices, standards, and equipment. Most jurisdictions use Professional Development Hours (PDHs) and Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to measure and log training and education. Currently, thirty states require Professional Development Hours to maintain P.E. licensure, encouraging engineers to seek CEUs for their participation in Continuing Education programs. CEUs readily translate into PDHs (1CEU=10 PDHs). Evidence of participation in the PCIC Conference, standards activities, and/or tutorials may meet part or all of your organization s requirements for ongoing training and education. The PDH and CEU certification processes are managed separately, completely independent of each other within PCIC. Professional Development Hours (PDH) PCIC has a process for attendees to log and receive a PDH certificate for attendance at conference papers, participation in standards activities, authoring and presenting papers, performing technical paper reviews, and technical leadership. Many organizations accept PDH hours as evidence of continued education. It is the responsibility of the attendee to determine what conference activities meet their organization s educational requirements. PCIC charges attendees a $25.00 fee for processing a PDH certificate. When an attendee registers for a PDH certificate, a form for logging your participation at events during the conference will be included with your registration packet. Instructions are provided on the form for submitting the completed worksheet. At the end of the conference submit the form to PCIC for processing and you will be issued a PDH certificate. Continuing Education Units (CEU) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available for the PCIC tutorials attended. These are available from IEEE providing the required fee is paid and all CEU requirements are completed and submitted. PCIC provides an opportunity for attendees to earn 0.35 CEU s for participation in each tutorial. These units are based on documented participation and competency testing, and are issued through IEEE. CEU s can only be offered for participation in tutorials, as testing is a requirement of the CEU process. PCIC charges attendees a fee of $35.00 to cover the CEU processing costs at the time of registration. A CEU certificate will be provided for each tutorial attended directly by IEEE to attendees who complete CEU requirements. Each attendee who registers and attends the tutorial is required to sign the attendance sheet to confirm attendance and submit a completed evaluation form for each tutorial to the presenter before leaving the session. Forms submitted late are not acceptable. IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING PDHs AND CEUs: 1. Pre-registration is mandatory to obtain these certificates. Please check the appropriate box on the registration form to receive the appropriate documentation with your registration package. 2. All PDH and CEU documentation and/or certificates will be ed after the conference. 3. PDH and CEU credits are optional and no action is required if these are not required CEU certificates are issued for participation in tutorials only. IEEE requirements do not permit CEU certificates to be issued for time spent attending papers, standards, technical meetings, or for presenting papers.

14 IEEE PCIC 2015 Standards Working Group and Technical Subcommittee Meeting Schedule `Page 13 The PCIC Standards Subcommittee coordinates the activities of 38 IEEE and other industry related standards. The individual Standard Committees establish a Working Group to meet, discuss and make the technical decisions necessary to form and maintain their standard. Many of these Working Groups arrange their meeting schedule a few days before or after the PCIC annual conference. The key to any standard is the quality and commitment of its members. Technical knowledge or expertise is just a part of what constitutes being a good member. Consistent participation, the ability to listen, to discuss, and to understand, along with a willingness to accept the ideas of others, are just as important. The PCIC encourages all attendees, especially new attendees, to increase their value from the PCIC conference by actively participating in the various Working Group meetings. You are welcome to attend as a guest or better yet, to join as a member to influence the outcome of the next revision, or to work on the development of a completely new standard. Active participation provides a greater insight and understanding of the Industry issues that are addressed in the development and updating of these Standards. The PCIC Technical Subcommittees solicit and review technical papers that support the exchange of electrical applications technology related to the petroleum and chemical industry. If you are not presently a member of one of these subcommittees, we also invite you to attend one of the Tuesday afternoon sessions that are of interest and to join as a member. The individual meeting schedule is listed below.

26 2015 PCIC Conference Tutorials `Page 25 The Tutorial Subcommittee of the PCIC Technical Conference is sponsoring eight half-day tutorials on Thursday, October 8, Continuing Education Units, (0.35 CEU) will be awarded to each participant who successfully completes a course and submits the required CEU form. Light refreshments will be provided during the sessions. A lunch will be provided between the morning and afternoon sessions, (12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.) for all tutorial registrants. The price of lunch is included in the price of the tutorial, so plan to end your morning session or begin your afternoon session by having lunch with your fellow attendees. First time attendees registered for the entire conference are eligible to attend one tutorial for the reduced rate of $50. A second tutorial can be attended by paying full registration cost. This must be indicated on the registration form and completed prior to September 1, 2015, otherwise the full tutorial fee will apply. (NOTE: To ensure there are enough handout materials for all participants, those not preregistered will be charged full price at the door.) 2015 Tutorial T1 8:00 a.m. 11:45 a.m. Cable Restraint Standards The Good, the Bad and the Unknown Abstract: Ensuring cables are properly installed involves more than cable support, tight lugs and overcurrent protection. The National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code, and many other national and international codes, standards and recommended practices require adequate cable restraint. However, none of these documents offer guidance on evaluating, specifying or inspecting cable restraints or differentiating test results to determine performance characteristics of cable restraint products. Ironically, neither do most manufacturers! Engineers, designers, installers and inspectors desperately need objective evaluation tools. This tutorial presents the principles and practices of proper cable restraint, including evaluation and inspection techniques for in-situ installations. Through lecture, case studies, photographs, videos and group discussion, this tutorial: Defines adequate cable restraint Analyzes the static and dynamic forces acting on cables Reviews product standards and their test criteria Compares empirical test results to actual field performance Considers electrical engineering parameters, design objectives and installation limitations Explains whether to use Symmetrical or Asymmetrical and RMS or Peak current values Examines in-situ installations and forensic photographs Presents short circuit high-speed videos Introduces best practices methods for selecting, sizing and spacing cable restraints Debunks common cable restraint myths Presenters; Charles A. Darnell, PE, CFEI, SMIEEE; President Talon Products, LLC Craig Harris, Dow Corning Lead Presenter s Biography; Charles Darnell: Mr. Darnell is a registered professional electrical engineer in Louisiana and is certified by the National Association of Fire Investigators as a fire and explosion investigator.

He is an IEEE Senior Member, Chair of the IAS Baton Rouge Louisiana Chapter and sits on the Executive Committee on the IEEE Industry Applications Society Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee (PCIC) Tutorial T2 8:00 a.m. 11:45 a.m. Arcing Hazard Physics, Hazards and Protection Abstract: This workshop explains the nature of unconstrained free-burning arcing faults in order to allow participants to obtain a comprehension of what is actually happening inside arcing faults and how they cause injuries to personnel in the immediate vicinity. This requires an understanding of the energy dissipation and the energy transfers in the near vicinity of these uncontrolled arcs. Explanation of the physics of arcing faults is used to describe the energy transfers within an arcing fault. This provides a basis for describing the potential energy transfers to personnel in the vicinity of an arcing fault. This includes arc root movements on humans and the transfer of the arc out of the body which has a significant impact on ventricular fibrillation and PPE for high voltage workers. It goes on to describe what needs to be considered in minimizing the impact of arcing faults. Presenter: Dr David Sweeting Presenters Biography; Dr. David Sweeting graduated from Sydney University with a Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering with a thesis on electric arcs.

Abstract: NFPA 70E- 2015, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace in Annex O states A great majority of electrical faults are of the phase-to-ground type. High resistance grounding will insert impedance in the ground return path and will typically limit the fault current to 10 amperes and below (at 5 kv nominal or below), leaving insufficient fault energy and thereby helping reduce the arc flash hazard level. This tutorial will describe how to incorporate HRG technology in the new systems and how to convert existing ungrounded or solidly grounded systems to HRG to reduce arc flash hazard and make systems safer by design.the tutorial analyzes basic schemes of various types of electrical systems grounding techniques and compares the advantages and disadvantages of each system. The attendees will learn that the technology of High Resistance Grounding offers the advantages of the solidly grounded and ungrounded electrical systems, highly reducing transitory over voltages due to intermittent ground faults that are characteristic in ungrounded systems and, at the same time, limiting the ground fault current to a small and pre-determined value, eliminating the risk of single phase arc flash formation. NFPA 70E also states High resistance grounding will not affect arc flash energy for line-to-line or line-to-line-to-line arcs. Therefore isolation of first line to ground fault is very essential to minimize arc flash hazard. This tutorial will share currently available technology that allows users to prioritize the power distribution components for selective tripping to further minimize probability of line to line or line to line to line arcs. The tutorial covers all range of voltages in general but will specifically focus on low voltage electrical systems. The participants will learn how the technology of High Resistance Grounding helps to quickly detect and locate ground faults without interrupting power,

28 `Page 27 allow for process continuity, minimize production losses due to electrical single line to ground faults and at the same time eliminate exposure of personnel to arc flash hazards during the first fault. New technical advances in ground fault detection and the prioritization of isolation of faulty circuits to enhance availability of power, providing trip selectivity of preferred equipment in the event that a second ground fault occurs before the first ground fault is cleared, will be presented. The tutorial also briefly analyzes the benefits of continuous monitoring of grounding resistor circuit and technologies that are available today. The tutorial will also present in detail equipment grounding, establishing a ground and both IEC and North American terminology.
