12 Blowdown Valve (Supplied by Carrier) - Appendix 1 Blowdown valve assembly provided by Carrier is installed on the truck valve. The offload hose is attached to the blowdown valve and the other end of the hose is attached to the Suncor line/valve. Blowdown valve is positioned downward so that it can function as a drain if required. However the primary intent is that trucker can install the truck airline to the fitting/valve if needed. If an offload is stopped and the truck valve closed while there is still product in the hose, air can be introduced to blow the hose contents into the Suncor line/tank before closing the Suncor line/valve. The air supply line must be equipped with a check valve so that the product being offloaded cannot enter the truck air system. The air supply pressure must also be controlled so that it does not exceed the air pressure used to pressurize the truck tank. Carrier Wait Time Eligibility Appendix 2 Carrier is eligible to charge wait time if total offload time exceeds 3 hours for single trailer or 4 hours for B train and: Carrier arrives at scheduled appointment time and Suncor cannot proceed with offload Suncor requests a split load Suncor requests a stoppage of the offload Suncor equipment issues prevent the offload from proceeding Carrier is NOT eligible to charge wait time if: Carrier is late for appointment and waiting for new appointment time Delay is due to Carrier s inability to manoeuvre truck and trailer into offloading position Carrier equipment issues prevent offload from proceeding Page 12 of 12
