low A/C voltage is applied to the FLAME ROD, and when that flame rod is inserted into a proper flame, the voltage converts to a D/C voltage by traveling through the flame to ground.

You can measure flame signal by putting your meter (capable of measuring micro amps) in line between the flame sensor and the wire that was connected to it (see picture). If you are reading anything under 5 uA (micro amps), it is likely that your flame sensor is dirty.

SIL(Safety Integrity Level)

SIL no. R assigned based on Risk Analysis in conjunction with HAZOP as described in ISA S84.01 & IEC 61511
There are several methods used to assign a SIL. These are normally used in combination, and may include:

Risk matricesRisk graphsLayers of protection analysis (LOPA)

Of the methods presented above, LOPA is by far the most commonly used

standard IEC 61508 defines SIL using requirements grouped into two broad categories: hardware safety integrity and systematic safety integrity. A device or system must meet the requirements for both categories to achieve a given SIL.
61508 is used by mfg for circuit level diagnostic, software testing etc
61511 is used by process designers i.e. Redundancy requirement & proof testing

Inhibit =MOS in FGS SYSTEM


CO signal is sent to the final control element (e.g. valve, pump, heater, fan) causing it to change. change in the final control element (FCE) causes a change in a manipulated variable. change in the manipulated variable (e.g. flow rate of liquid or gas) causes a change in the PV

suppose the P-Only control algorithm shown above is used for cruise control in an automobile and CO is the throttle signal adjusting the flow of fuel to the engine.

Let’s also suppose that the speed SP is 70 and the measured PV is also 70 (units can be mph or kph depending on where you live in the world). Since PV = SP, then e(t) = 0 and the algorithm reduces to:

  CO = CObias + Kc∙(0) = CObias

If CObias is zero, then when set point equals measurement, the above equation says that the throttle signal, CO, is also zero. This makes no sense. Clearly if the car is traveling 70 kph, then some baseline flow of fuel is going to the engine.

This baseline value of the CO is called the bias or null value.

PI controller

integrate or continually sum the controller error, e(t), over time, integral controller adds history of error over the time
integral of each shaded portion has the same sign as the error.
integral sum of all error is not zero. residual value enables integral action of the PI controller to eliminate offset.
e(t) can be zero, yet we can still have something to add or subtract from CObias to form the final controller output, CO.
integral term tends to increase the oscillatory or rolling behavior of the process response.
Some Vendors use proportional band rather than controller gain. Also, some use reset rate, Tr, instead of reset time. These are simply the inverse of each other:
 Tr = 1/Ti


time derivative (rate of change) of a position is a velocity.
The proportional term considers how far PV is from SP at any instant in time.
The integral term addresses how long and how far PV has been away from SP. The integral term is continually summing e(t).
Derivative considers how fast, or the rate at which, error (or PV as we discuss next) is changing at the current moment.
derivative of e(t) is mathematically identical to the negative of the derivative of PV everywhere except when set point changes. And when set point changes, derivative on error results in an undesirable control action called derivative kick
de(t)/dt= d(sp-pv)/dt=d(sp)/dt-d(pv)/dt=0-d(pv)/dt
If setpt is constant d(sp)/dt will b 0 since derivative of const is Zero.
So in PID equation we remove d(sp)/dt. Instead of de(t)/dt we write -dpv(t)/dt coz Derivative on PV Does Not “Kick”. And Derivative term is based on PV only
Td is very small, the derivative term has little influence, regardless of the slope of the PV


Thus when dPV/dt is large and positive, the derivative term has a large influence and seeks to decrease CO.

Conversely, when dPV/dt is negative, the derivative term seeks to increase CO.
derivative term does not consider whether PV is heading toward or away from the set point (whether e(t) is positive or negative). The only consideration is whether PV is heading up or down and how quickly.

The result is that derivative action seeks to inhibit rapid movements in the PV. This could be an especially useful characteristic when seeking to dampen the oscillations in PV that integral action tends to magnify.

majority of DCS and PLC systems now use controller gain, Kc, for their dependent PID algorithms. There are notable exceptions, however, such as Foxboro who uses proportional band (PB = 100/Kc assuming PV and CO both range from 0 to 100%).
Honeywell Experion dcs Equation C: only integral term is applied on the error and both proportional and derivative terms act on the process value.

Integral Windup

valve cannot open more than all the way. A pump cannot go slower than stopped. Yet an improperly programmed control algorithm can issue such commands.
Integral controller sums error over time.
If an error is large enough and/or persists long enough, it is mathematically possible for the integral term to grow very large (either positive or negative): This large integral, when combined with the other terms in the equation, can produce a CO value that causes the final control element (FCE) to saturate. That is, the CO drives the FCE (e.g. valve, pump, compressor) to its physical limit of fully open/on/maximum or fully closed/off/minimum.
If the integral term grows unchecked, the equation above can command the valve, pump or compressor to move to 110%, then 120% and more. Clearly, however, when an an FCE reaches its full 100% value, these last commands have no physical meaning and consequently, no impact on the process.
Once we cross over to a “no physical meaning” computation, the controller has lost the ability to regulate the process. This is called integral windup
To prevent windup extra “jacketing logic” in the software is used to halt integration when the CO reaches a maximum or minimum value.
For eg in TC if new setpoint entered by operator cant b achieved even if Valve is acting 100%. Integral term will accumulate error. Later even if operator decreases set pt integral action wudnt return from saturation immediately it will keep forcing valve to go beyond its full capacity hence controller lost control coz of integral windup. As time passes, the integral term shrinks or “unwinds” as the running sum of errors balance out.
If CO > COmax, then CO = COdesired = COmax.   if CO < COmin, then CO = COdesired = COmin. Back calculate the integral sum of error using our selected COdesired and save it for use in the next control loop calculation cycle.

BUMPLESS TRANSFER

In PI controller  during switch over from Manual to Auto mode
Integral term shud b made 0
Set point of PI controller shud be PV just before switch over
Output Bias shud b output bias before switchover.
With the integral sum of error set to zero, there is nothing to add or subtract from CObias that would cause a sudden change in the current controller output. With the set point equal to the measured process variable, there is no error to drive a change in our CO.

PROPORTIONAL BAND

With 100% PB, 20% change in cause(level change in case of LC) will result in 20% movement in Control Valve stem to maintain setpoint

The ProTech-GII is an overspeed safety device designed to safely shut down
steam, gas, and hydro turbines of all sizes upon sensing an overspeed or over-
acceleration event. This device accurately monitors turbine rotor speed and
acceleration via active or passive MPUs (magnetic pickups) and issues a
shutdown command to the turbine’s trip valve(s) or corresponding trip system.
2oo3 Voting modules n transducers.
failures in overspeed system components (switches, transducers, modules) are detected,
annunciated, and allowed to be repaired or replaced while the monitored system
continues to operate on-line

Woodward Peak 150 Turbine control
Peak 150 is designed to operate those
Steam Turbines with a single-valve or a single-valve rack
Steam Valve is controlled to ctrl spd of turbine based on Mag PUs
Turbine start-up is accomplished by controlling the inlet steam with the turbine’s
Trip & Throttle valve and/or the Actuator/Valve.
The MANUAL START MODE is when a turbine operator manually controls the
inlet steam by opening the TRIP & THROTTLE VALVE. The operator has control
of the turbine speed from zero RPM to the MIN GOVERNOR SPEED. While the
operator is starting the turbine, the Peak 150 ramps the speed set point to the
MIN GOVERNOR SPEED. It waits for the turbine speed to reach this point and
then it automatically takes control of the inlet steam
AUTO START
MODE, the VALVE RAMP controls the speed from zero to either IDLE SPEED or
to the MIN GOVERNOR SPEED depending on how the control is configured.
(see Figure 7-3).
If IDLE SPEED is configured, the speed will control at IDLE until the IDLE / MIN
GOV input is closed. When closed, the speed will RAMP up to the MIN
GOVERNOR SPEED.
This mode of operation starts with the ACTUATOR/ VALVE RAMP closed and
the Trip and Throttle fully opened.
Discrete Input #1 = LOWER SPEED
 Input #2 = RAISE SPEED
 Input #3 = EXTERNAL TRIP
 Input #4 = START
 Input #5 = RESET
 Input #6 = IDLE / MIN GOV
 Input #7 = REMOTE SPEED ENABLE
 Input #8 = HI DYN SELECT or (OVERSPEED TEST)
Analog output #1 = Speed Readout
 Analog output #2 = User Configurable
 Actuator output = Signal to Actuator
SPEED READOUT output is included in the control to drive a tachometer
either near the turbine or in a control room. The maximum load for the readout
circuits is 600 Ω.
Speed sensor ip(mag pickup) minimum
detectable frequency is 200 Hz @ 1 Vrms. The maximum detectable frequency is
15 kHz 15000 rpm
Magnetic Pickups (MPUs) generate a speed signal that is used to provide
speed feedback to the Peak 150. The MPUs do this by generating voltage pulses
as the gear teeth pass through the MPU’s magnetic field.
Speed Governor Peak 150 counts
the number of pulses per second from the MPUs (frequency in HZ) and converts
this frequency to turbine RPM.
RPM = (Hz x 60) / Teeth
When the MPU signal is below 1.0 VRMS the Peak 150 activates an ALARM of
FAILED MPU.
CRITICAL SPEED BAND is used to prevent turbine operation at speeds
where there is excessive turbine vibration. The CRITICAL SPEED BAND function
does this by switching to a faster RAMP while the ACTUAL SPEED SETPT is in
the CRITICAL SPEED BAND. This function also prevents the ACTUAL SPEED
SETPT from being stopped while in the CRITICAL SPEED BAND (default 1500-1800 rpm)
 DROOP feedback.
Droop is defined as a decrease in speed set point proportional to an increase in
load. The DROOP Signal is a function of the VALVE POSITION (ACTUATOR)
signal. When DROOP is configured, the SPEED CONTROL compares the
ACTUAL SPEED SET POINT to the combination of the SPEED signal+DROOP signal

use a “dual” T/C probe, or convert one T/C output to a 4-20 mA signal by using a transmitter or signal conditioner; then the new signal can be sent to more than one instrument
2. drawbacks of derivative action.
Derivative control itself is a crude prediction of the error in future, based on the current slope of the error and the time of error is measured with the Td. Some of its drawbacks are: (i) The output of controller is zero at constant error condition.
(ii) It will amplify the noise present in the error signal.
3. Concentric Orifice plate: are used for ideal liquid as well as gases and steam service.
Segmental : For colloidal and sherry flow measurement.
Eccentric : used in viscous and sherry flow measurement
4. Enraf level gauge is based on the servo powered null balance technique. A displacer serves as continuous level sensing element. A two phase servo motor controlled by a capacitive balance system winds unwinds the the measuring wire until the tension in the weight springs is in balance with the weight of the displaced part immersed in the liquid.

level measuring principle is based on the detection of variations in the weight of a displacer suspended in the process fluid. The displacer is connected to a wire wound on a precision measuring drum. A level change causes a change in the weight of the displacer that will be detected by the force transducer.

5. What are de-saturators?
When, in some processes, e.g. batch processes, long transient responses are expected during which a sustained deviation is present the controller integral action continuously drives the output to a minimum or maximum value.

This phenomenon is called ‘integral saturation of the control unit’. When this condition is met, then this unit is de-saturated.

3.8 under range, 20.8 mA over range
OOR alarm out of range for Over or Under range of IPS (HIPS high pressure integrity system ESD tags)
MOS doesnot work if alarm present
Burnout value shud b High for LL alarm, shud b low for HH alarm so in case of sensor failure it will show opposite value of alarm like high if LL alarm is there, MOS can b enabled only if No alarm is present.

Flare header
Steam is very often injected into the flame to reduce the formation of black smoke. When too much steam is added, a condition known as "over steaming" can occur resulting in reduced combustion efficiency and higher emissions. To keep the flare system functional, a small amount of gas is continuously burned, like a pilot light, so that the system is always ready for its primary purpose as an over-pressure safety system


flare stack system:[1][2][3]

A knockout drum to remove any oil or water from the relieved gases.

A water seal drum to prevent any flashback of the flame from the top of the flare stack.

An alternative gas recovery system for use during partial plant startups and shutdowns as well as other times when required. The recovered gas is routed into the fuel gas system of the overall industrial plant.A steam injection system to provide an external momentum force used for efficient mixing of air with the relieved gas, which promotes smokeless burning.A pilot flame (with its ignition system) that burns all the time so that it is available to ignite relieved gases when needed.[8]The flare stack, including a flashback prevention section at the upper part of the stack.

How would you do Glycol filling or fill seal liquids in seal pots 7 Draw and explain.



The procedure for glycol filling is : 1) Close the primary isolation valves(valve near flanges).
2) Open the vent on the seal pots. 3) Drain the use glycol if present. 4) Connect a hand pump on L.P. side while filling the H.P. side with glycol. 5) Keep the equalizer valve open. 6) Keep the L.P. side valve closed. 7) Start pumping and fill glycol. 8) Same reeat for L.P. side by connecting pump to H.P. side, keeping equalizer open and H.P. side isolation valve closed. 9) Close the seal pot vent valves. 10) Close equalizer valve. 11) Open both the primary isolation valves.

How will you vent air in the D.P. cell ? What if seal pots are used?

1) Air is vented by opening the vent plugs on a liquid service transmitter. 2) On services where seal pots are used isolate the primary isolation valves and open the vent valves. Fill the line from the transmitter drain pluge with a pump

PULSATING FLOW

, a flow is considered as not being pulsating when
rms 0.10 p
p
∆ ′ ≤
∆ ,
where ∆p is the time-mean value of the differential pressure
∆p′ is the fluctuating component of the differential pressure
and rms ∆p′ is the root mean square value of∆p′ .
With a pulsating flow the requirement may be to measure either the time-dependent flow or a
time-average.

SIL requires proof test(function test of instrument) 61511
Before proof test
stock of spare components is kept on hand in the event proof-testing reveals a failed component.
For a process transmitter, this sort of test usually takes the form of a full-range calibration check.
For a controller alarm check
For Control Valve full stroking of the element, coupled with physical leakage tests
choose a time when operations personnel plan on shutting the process down anyway, then use that time as an opportunity to proof-test one or more critical component(s) necessary for the system to run
Partial Stroke Testing
proof-testing a redundant system harbors no danger if all components of the system are good, but risks process disruption if there happens to be an undetected fault

Ask panel man to put the controller in manual mode for control loop and to put it on MOS for ESD loop.

In Gas Liquification
Gases can be converted to liquids by compressing the gas at a suitable temperature.

critical temperature of a substance is the temperature at and above which vapor of the substance cannot be liquefied, no matter how much pressure is applied.

critical pressure of a substance is the pressure required to liquefy a gas at its critical temperature

Methods of Proof Testing

The most direct method of testing a critical system is to stimulate it to its range limits and observe its reaction. For a process transmitter, this sort of test usually takes the form of a full-range calibration check.

For a controller, proof testing would consist of driving all input signals through their respective ranges in all combinations to check for the appropriate output response(s).

For a final control element (such as a control valve), this requires full stroking of the element, coupled with physical leakage tests (or other assessments) to ensure the element is having the intended effect on the process.

An obvious challenge to proof testing is how to perform such comprehensive tests without disrupting the process in which it functions.

Proof-testing an out-of-service instrument is a simple matter, but proof-testing an instrument installed in a working system is something else entirely.

How can transmitters, controllers, and final control elements be manipulated through their entire operating ranges without actually disturbing (best case) or halting (worst case) the process?

Even if all tests may be performed at the required intervals during shut-down periods, the tests are not as realistic as they could be with the process operating at typical pressures and temperatures.

Proof-testing components during actual “run” conditions is the most realistic way to assess their readiness.

One way to proof-test critical instruments with minimal impact to the continued operation of a process is to perform the tests on only some components, not all.

For instance, it is a relatively simple matter to take a transmitter out of service in an operating process to check its response to stimuli: simply place the controller in manual mode and let a human operator control the process manually while an instrument technician tests the transmitter.

While this strategy admittedly is not comprehensive, at least proof-testing some of the instruments is better than proof-testing none of them.

Another method of proof-testing is to“test to shutdown:” choose a time when operations personnel plan on shutting the process down anyway, then use that time as an opportunity to proof-test one or more critical component(s) necessary for the system to run. This method enjoys the greatest degree of realism, while avoiding the inconvenience and expense of an unnecessary process interruption.

Yet another method to perform proof tests on critical instrumentation is to accelerate the speed of the testing stimuli so that the final control elements will not react fully enough to actually disrupt the process, but yet will adequately assess the responsiveness of all (or most) of the components in question.

The nuclear power industry sometimes uses this proof-test technique, by applying high speed pulse signals to safety shutdown sensors in order to test the proper operation of shutdown logic, without actually shutting the reactor down.

The test consists of injecting short-duration pulse signals at the sensor level, then monitoring the output of the shutdown logic to ensure consequent pulse signals are sent to the shutdown device(s).

Pressure Transmitter has Strain gauge which changes resistance when applied pressure

Unstable atoms are said to be radioactive. In order to reach stability, these atoms give off, or emit, the excess energy or mass. These emissions are called radiation. The kinds of radiation are electromagnetic (like light) and particulate (i.e., mass given off with the energy of motion). Gamma radiation and x rays are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
Gamma radiation originates in the nucleus while x rays come from the electronic part of the atom. Beta and alpha radiation are examples of particulate radiation.

Gamma radiation is easily detected by survey meters with a sodium iodide detector probe

Examples of some gamma emitters: iodine-131, cesium-137, cobalt-60, radium-226, and technetium-99m

Cv by definition is the number of gallons per minute (GPM) a valve will flow with a 1 psi pressure drop across the valve. For example a valve with aCv of 10 will flow 10 GPM with a 1 psi pressure drop. The formula used to select the valve Cv with the specified differential pressure is: Cv=GPM/((SQ RT(∆P)).
Factory available Cv's are limited and sometimes the valve Cv will be selected to deliver full flow with a ∆P that is less than specified and the valve could be considered oversized.  Other times the valve Cv may be selected to deliver full flow with a ∆P that is great than specified and the valve could be considered undersized.

  An oversized valve will cause hunting, poor control and premature actuator wear due to excessive cycling. An undersized valve may not be able to provide enough flow to meet design specification if the actual available ∆P is inadequate.

What is furnace draft control?

Balanced draft boilers are generally used negative furnace pressure. When both forced draft and induced draft are used together, at some point in the system the pressure will be same as that of atmosphere.

Therefore the furnace pressure must be negative to prevent hot gas leakage. Excessive vacuum in the furnace however produces heat losses through air infiltration.

The most desirable condition is that the one have a very slight negative pressure of the top of furnace.

What is zener diode? What is voltage regulator?

The breakdown region of a p-n diode can be made very sharp and almost vertical, diodes with almost vertical breakdown region are known a s zener diodes.

A zener diode operating in the breakdown region is equivalent to a battery. Because of this current through zener diode can change but the voltage remains constant. It is this constant voltage that has made the zener diode an important device in voltage regulation.

Voltage regulator: The output remains constant despite changes in the input voltage due to zener effect.
Cavitation can occur in liquid systems when high velocity reduces the static pressure inside the valve to below the pressure level at which the liquid stats to boil and produce vapor bubbles. These vapor bubbles collapse whenever the downstream pressure is higher than the vapor pressure causing high pressure waves. These implosions result in very high noise levels and can cause considerable damage to the valve body or trim parts under prolonged service.

ISA-75.01.01-2007 – Flow Equations for Sizing Control Valves
When sizing control valves, a general rule of thumb noted in many engineering publications is to size thevalve such that it operates between 20 to 80% open at maximum required flow rate. It is also recommended to have the minimum opening no less than 20% to provide a safety margin at the minimum flow rate required.
A valve Cv can be described as the number of gallons per minute (GPM) at 60oF (15.5oC) that will pass through a valve with an associated pressure drop of 1 psi.

If the Cv is too small for the process, the valve itself or the trim inside the valve will be undersized resulting in the system being “starved” of the process fluid. Undersized valves exhibit a higher pressure drop across the valve to maintain adequate flow and exhibit limited flow capacity. Furthermore, since the restriction in the valve can cause a build-up of upstream pressure, higher back pressures created before the valve can lead to damage in upstream pumps or other upstream equipment.
If the Cv calculated is too high for the system requirements, the result is a larger oversized control valve is usually selected. In addition to the more obvious issues with an oversized valve such as a larger cost, weight and size, when in throttling service, significant control instability can occur. Usually the closure element, such as the valve plug or disk, is positioned just off the valve seat which leads to higher pressure drops across the valve and higher fluid velocities which can cause cavitation, flashing or erosion of the valve trim elements.

Here, level transmitter 23a is a guided-wave radar (GWR), level transmitter 23b is a tape-and float, and level transmitter 23c is a differential pressure sensor.
For instance, if the process liquid density happened to suddenly change, it would affect the measurement accuracy of the differential pressure transmitter (LT-23c), but not the radar transmitter nor the tape-and-float transmitter.

If the process vapor density were to suddenly change, it might affect the radar transmitter (since vapor density generally affects dielectric constant, and dielectric constant affects the propagation velocity of electromagnetic waves, which in turn will affect the time taken for the radar pulse to strike the liquid surface and return), but this will not affect the float transmitter’s accuracy nor will it affect the differential pressure transmitter’s accuracy.

Surface turbulence of the liquid inside the vessel may severely affect the float transmitter’s ability to accurately sense liquid level, but it will have little effect on the differential pressure transmitter’sreading nor the radar transmitter’s measurement (assuming the radar transmitter is shrouded in a stilling well.

Anti Surge Controller Working Principle



Anti Surge Controller

The surge phenomenon in the centrifugal compressor can be understood as a complete breakdown and reversal of the flow through the compressor.

Every centrifugal compressor has its own operating characteristic map. This map will show us the surge line limit and the operating limit.

See below example of the compressor operating map. The surge will happen if the compressor operates on the left side of the surge line.



The surge can’t be eliminated but it can be avoided or prevented. This surge phenomenon can be prevented by recycling or blow off a portion of the discharge flow to keep the compressor away from its surge limit. This prevention in particular is done by the anti surge controller.

The anti surge controller must be able to accurately determine how close the compressor is surging so it can maintain an adequate but not excessive recycle flow rate.

A compressor’s surge limit is not a fix value. It is a very complex function that depends on gas composition, suction temperature and pressure, rotational speed and guide vane angle.

Surge protection is more complicated by the speed at which the surge develops. It can take only a fraction of a second for a compressor to move from a relatively healthy operating point to one in which the surge is inevitable.

Therefore it is a logic reason to have a very fast final control element which we called an anti surge control valves.

In general application, the anti surge controller received a signal from flow transmitter, pressure transmitter, and temperature transmitter from downstream and upstream of the compressor. The anti surge controller is then analyzes the entire received signal.

The surge margin (control line) usually determine as a 10% margin from the known compressor surge line (the surge line can be obtained from actual test or empirical data).

Typically the PI (Proportional Integral)control algorithm will active and start to modulate the anti surge control valve if the compressor operates between the control line and the surge line.

The set point of the PI controller is a flow rate that lies on the control line. Normally, a polynomial equation is used to approach the control line and determine the PI controller set point with the discharge and inlet pressure of the compressor as the variable.

Then, the anti surge controller (using PI controller algorithm) will open and close the anti surge control valve as necessary to bring the compressor operates on the control line.



The Anti Surge Control Valves

As briefly explained above, to avoid the surge phenomenon, there are an anti surge control system that analyze the compressor operating point and modulate the anti surge control valve as necessary.

Before designing the anti surge control valve, the compressor manufacturer usually has some anti surge system study with some set of process data required to design the anti surge control valve.

The process data it self has several cases for several surge possibility. The study also conclude the required anti surge control valve opening time during normal operation and during shutdown sequence operation.

In practice, there is no difference between anti surge control valve and ‘general’ control valves. The main difference is that the anti surge control valve has a certain required fast opening time to avoid the surge.

This time constraint will make the anti surge control valve need some additional accessories such as volume booster and three way pilot operated valve.

The valve accessories that will be used may differ from each anti surge control valve manufacturer; this is not a problem as long as the required opening time is achieved. But in general speaking, the anti surge control valve will has a general arrangement as below.



Operating Principle

The anti surge controller is started up, the solenoid valve is energized and all pilot operated valve is actuated. valve will fast open and fast close as necessary with the help of volume booster.

 valve will fast open and fast close as necessary with the help of volume booster. The volume booster is used to increase the stroking speed by bypassing the instrument air supply or in other words, it amplify the pneumatic signal output of the I/P Positioner.


While there are an emergency cases (need to shutdown etc..), the anti surge controller will simply de-energized the solenoid valve and all pilot operated valve will un-actuated. The pressure of top side piston actuator is vented by the 3-way pilot operated valve no. 7 and 2-way pilot operated valve no. 6.

The low side of piston actuator is pressurized by the regulated instrument air supply (or from volume bottle if emergency). This top side vented and low side pressurized will make the valve in the open position in fast manner. The anti surge control valve will open very fast in less than one second in this case.

GE ultrasonic
Locate the transducers so that there are at least 20 pipe diameters of straight, undisturbed flow upstream and
10 pipe diameters of straight, undisturbed flow downstream from the measurement point  To ensure undisturbed
flow, avoid sources of turbulence in the fluid such as valves, flanges, expansions, elbows and dips or low spots in
which condensed liquid may collect.
Because condensate or sediment at the bottom of the pipe may cause attenuation of the ultrasonic signal, locate the
transducers on the side of a horizontal pipe, when possible. If limited pipe access necessitates top-mounted
transducers and the sound beam path includes a reflection, shift the transducers to at least 10° off top dead center.
This will minimize the influence of any sediment on the reflected ultrasonic signals

Gas detector calib
Zero gas : perform a zero calibration of an oxygen-, or carbon dioxide analyser with pure nitrogen. Because nitrogen does not hold either oxygen or carbon dioxide, a zero point can be confirmed this way.

Saab TankRadar Pro transmitter sends a microwave signal with a con-
tinuously varying frequency towards the liquid surface. When the reflected
signal returns to the antenna, it is mixed with the outgoing signal.
Saab TankRadar Pro uses Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT), to obtain a frequency spec-
trum of all echoes in the tank. From this frequency spectrum the surface
level is extracted

Fourier Transform is a tool that breaks a waveform (a function or signal i.e. square wave) into an alternate representation, characterized by sine and cosines

n= mole number

m= mass or mass flow (kg/h)

V= volume or volumetric flow (m3/hr)

M= molecular weight of the gas for example Molecular weight of nitrogen (N2) =28 kg/kgmole

In Normal conditions according to the latest SI definition P=100 kpa and T=0 C or 273.15 K

R = gas constant =8.314 pa.m3/mol.K

So, PV=(m/M)*R*T or m(kg/h) = (P*V*M)/(R*T)

at Normal conditions then we have:

m(kg/h) = M* 100* V (Nm3/h) / (8.314*273.15) or

m(kg/h) = 0.044 M* V (Nm3/h)

Absorption: soacking of liquid or gas
Adsorption: the atoms, ions, or molecules from a substance adhere to a surface of the adsorbent.Unlike absorption its exothermic

Chemical adsorption or chemisorption is when the gas molecules are bound to the surface by a chemical bond.
Physical adsorption also known as physisorption occurs when the gas molecules are bound by the sum of attractive or repulsive forces between molecules and electrostatic forces.

GWR, TT, PT, Local Indicator (Via Tank Bus) -> Hub 2140-> Field Communication Unit-> DCS
Tank Hub is Intrinsic safe and provides power to all 3 transmitters.
Parabolic Antena GwR microwave transmitter/receiver and a parabolic antenna
level measuring system is based on Frequency
Modulated Continuous Wave radar. Signal transmission and reception
is achieved by means of a waveguide projecting into the tank and a
parabolic reflector type antenna.
The radar gauge transmits microwaves towards the
surface of the liquid. The microwave signal has a continuously
varying frequency, around 10 GHz for the model 5900S. When the
signal has travelled down to the liquid surface and back to the
antenna, it is mixed with the signal that is being transmitted at
that moment. The transmitted radar signal has a linear frequency
variation.
The reflection from the liquid surface has a
slightly different frequency compared with the signal transmitted
from the antenna when the reflection is received. The difference in
frequency is measured, and it is directly proportional to the
distance to the liquid surface which corresponds to the tank liquid
level

Flue Gas Desulfurization Unit
In Power plant when we burn coal it may contain upto 4% Sulfur and forms SO2 gas which if exhausted to atmosphere may react with Water in clouds and form H2SO4 Acidic Rain which is dangerous for env.
Before Chimney we use Nitrogen Oxide Reducer equipment & ESP(Electro static Presipitator) & then FGD unit.
SO2 is nutralized using Lime or Lime Stone which r basic in nature. In Wet FGD Lime Solution is sprayed over SO2 gas(Pump suck lime solution from bottom then spray from middle portion) coming into FGD, it forms CaSO3 Compressed Air is inserted into solution to form CaSO4(Gypsum). Agitator(fans) r used at bottom for proper mixing then Gypsum slurry is taken out and sold.

CBSE Class 10 Chemistry Chapter 3 Metals & Non Metals

Metals and Non-metals 3.1 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES 3.1.1 Metals The easiest way to start grouping substances is by comparing their physical properties Activity 3.1 ·         Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. ·         Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. After rubbing with sand paper metal is shining. Metals, in their pure state, have a shining surface. This property is called metallic lustre. Activity 3.2 ·         Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. ·         Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. ·         Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs. CAUTION: Always handle sodium metal with care. Dry it by pres...

SITE ACCEPTANCE TEST

  SAT (Site Acceptance Test) Site acceptance test is test to verify the Automation system like DCS (Distributed Control System) & Subsystems are well connected & communicate with each other without having any Hardware or software failure. SAT activity requires involvement of MAC Contractor, EPC Contractor, Subsystem Vendor.         MAC (Main Automation Contractor i.e., Honeywell, Yokogawa etc.) should prepare SAT procedure & submit to PMT (Project Management Team) for approval during CDR (Critical Design Review). DCS (Distributed Control System) SAT also includes Integration Test with various Sub System or Package PLC (programmable logic Controllers) EPC (Engineering Procurement Construction) Contractor coordinates & manages Integration Test activity with sub system vendors. EPC ensures DCS is ready for SAT Like ensuring all Eng/HIS( DCS Engineering Stations), all HIS(Human Interface Station), All DCS System Cabinets(Pro...
