WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Raw water will be supplied from circulating water pump and raw water supply pump. Raw water continues to be
pumped into high rate solid contact clarifier as lamellar type. Alkalinity shall be dosed in the inlet line of clarifier to
regulate pH value to an optimum level for coagulation – flocculation process followed by addition of suitable
coagulant. Coagulant will be added to increase the size of particles for effective settling. Flocculants shall be
added into the clarifier to interconnect and enmesh the colloidal particles into giant flocs. The sludge scraper in
operation continuously moves the precipitates settling on the floor of the clarifier, to the central sump where they
will be transferred to sludge thickener by pumps. Clarified water will be pumped to disc filter and Activated Carbon
Filter. As a safeguard and for polishing, the filtrate from disc filter and Activated Carbon Filter will be passed
through UF unit to arrest the leakage of suspended solids from the disc filter & Activated Carbon Filter. The
pretreatment filtration will produce water of a quality that satisfies the requirements as a suitable feed for the
downstream SWRO or BWRO in case of raw water. The Demineralized water system consists of filtration system,
Chemical injection system, SWRO & BWRO system, MBP system and chemical cleaning system, flushing system.
That is, impurities of raw water are removed through filtration system with chemical injection system, filtered raw
water is transferred to filtered water storage basin. After SWRO & BWRO system, raw water is converted to
desalinated water and desalinated water is transferred to Service/Fire fighting water tank. For chemical cleaning
SWRO & BWRO units, some desalinated water is stored at chemical cleaning tank and transferred to SWRO &
BWRO units through micro filter by chemical cleaning pump and for flushing SWRO& BWRO units at finished
cleaning, flushing pump shall be operated. Service water will be potabilized for potable water use. Activated
Carbon Filter removes the organic matter, COD, residual clorine. The potabilization system will consist of feeding
sodium hypochlorite to disinfection of the potable water. The chemicals are stored in tanks that provide suction
directly to their respective feed (metering) pump.

WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

1.1 PRETREATMENT SYSTEM

 Clarifier

Raw water enters 2 x 50% the lamella clarifier where it is flash mixed with a polymer flocculant and then gently
agitated with a separated mixer. The water flows downward through the inlet chamber in the center of the unit and
enters the plate rack through sideentry plate slots. This cross-current entry method reduces the risk of disturbing
previously settled solids. As the liquid flows upward, the solids settle on the inclined, parallel plates and slide into
the sludge hopper at the bottom. The clarified liquid leaves the plate assembly through orifices or weirs at the top
and is distributed into collection channels leading to the clarified water outlet. Underflow is removed by the sludge
scraper and dewatered prior to disposal.

 Coagulant & Coagulant Aid Dosing System

1.5 CHEMICAL DOSING SYSTEM

 Anti-Scalant Dosing System

Scaling means the deposition of particles on a membrane, causing it to plug. Without some means of scale
inhibition, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and flow passages within membrane elements will scale due to
precipitation of sparingly soluble gas, such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate and strontium
sulfate. In membrane desalination operations at high recovery ratios, the solubility limits of gypsum and calcite
exceed saturation levels leading to crystallization on membrane surfaces. The surface blockage of the scale results
in permeate flux decline, reducing the efficiency of the process and increasing of operation costs. Therefore, it is
recommended to dose anti-scalant at the upstream of SW/BW RO cartridge filters with a static mixer.

- MAJOR EQUIPMENT

Regular & irregular Waste Water Pond


1.To provide adequate flow to compensate the daily fluctuation of
waste water from the sources.
2.To homogenize waste water from the sources.

pH Adjustment tank
1. To collect and buffer the waste water by means of chemical injection.
2. To control pH and regular waste water by means of agitator.

Coagulation tank
The debris and dense material is removed by means of chemical cohesion.
Commonly alum is used and the coagulation of cohesion is as following.
Al2(SO4)3 ·18 H2O + 3 Ca(HCO3)2 → 2Al(OH)3↓ + 3CaSO4 + 6CO2 + 18H2O

The formed floc in the coagulation basin overflows to flocculation basin where it
grows big and heavy by reacting with the polymer from polymer dosing
equipment.
To remove colloidal pollutions by means of chemical cohesion.

Flocculation tank
A-polymer will be dosed in the flocculation basin for aiding floc formation.
The flocs would then be settled in the downstream conventional clarifier.
To aid floc formation.

9
- MAJOR EQUIPMENT

Clarifier

The mixed liquor waste water from flocculation tank flows to clarifier by gravity.

The waste water enters the clarifier in the central well. The central well is a cylindrical part located at the center of clarifier.

The waste water flows to bottom of clarifier from central well due to hydraulics and comes out of central well.

Then waste water starts rising with very low velocity to top of clarifier.

While the waste water is rising in clarifier, the flocs of the solid particles get settled at the bottom and only clear water rises to top.

The scraper arm rotates at a low speed at the clarifier bottom. Due to the rotating movement of the scraper arm of driven unit, the sludge collected at bottom of

clarifier is moved to the central cone of clarifier.

To separate water and sludge by means of the difference of specific gravity.

10
- MAJOR EQUIPMENT

Dual Media Filter

clarified water pumps will feed clarified water to the dual media filter units.
cylindrical type dual media Filter units. Finer impurities will be removed in the
dual media filter units.

Activated Carbon Filter

Any kind or smell etc. from the waste water will be removed by the process of

adsorption in the 2x100% activated carbon filters.

11
- MAJOR EQUIPMENT

Sludge Thickener

Sludge thickener works on similar principle of clarifier.

The sludge enters the thickener at central well and flows to bottom of thickener.

The sludge comes out of central well from bottom and rises to thickener

periphery.

While sludge rises to thickener top, the solid particles settle at bottom cone and

top risen water overflows to the waste water pond.

To store and thicken the sludge.

Belt Press & Cake Hopper

Belt press is a sludge dewatering device that applies mechanical pressure.

The sludge is trapped between filter plates and is passed through a belt filter.

Due to the pressure applied, the water is squeezed out of the sludge.

Dehydrator receives slurry of about 2% feed solids and produces a final product

of 20% cake solids.

The sludge cake formed is stored in a hopper and periodically disposed by

owner using the truck or trolley.

12
- MAJOR EQUIPMENT

Oil Skimmer

The initially suspended oil is drawn by rotating high adhesive nitrite belt

equipped in oil skimmer which is located on the oily waste water pond.

Oil Separator

The oily water flows into the oil separator that consist of number of

corrugated plate mounted parallel to each other at a space.

When the raw waste water containing the oil passes between the plates

(laminar flow is mandatory for the proper functioning of the operation) in

the course of passing from EPS pack inlet to EPS pack outlet, the oil

float upwards into the top of EPS pack and rise up the incline of the

plates to the surface of the system where it can be removed by pipe oil

separator.

4. SHUTDOWN

4.1 Shutdown of Waste Water Treatment System

Practically, the system may be put out of operation at any time. There are following possibilities to put the system down:

A) The entire system will electrically be switched off.

This would make sense of a longer shutdown is planned.

When it will be put into operation again, waste water treatment system may possibly become necessary.

In case of a longer shutdown time preservation of the system is necessary.

But there is no general conclusion at which shutdown time this may become necessary, because this mainly depends on the waste water quality.

If required, please contact the company DOOSAN.

B) Putting the system out of operation in case of emergency:

In case of emergency the plant may be put out of operation without any problems by switching off the main switch.

All automatic doors will close, since in any case control air will be available.

Special-type safety armature will open and protect the system being in shutdown condition.

57

1. MANINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

1. MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS


Maintenance Management is an orderly and systematic approach to planning, organizing, monitoring and evaluating maintenance activities and their costs.

A good maintenance management system coupled with knowledgeable and capable maintenance staff can prevent health and safety problems and

environmental damage; yield longer asset life with fewer breakdowns; and result in lower operating costs and a higher quality of life.

This document provides general information and guidance on establishing Maintenance Management Systems for use in First Nations communities.

It describes a system framework from the initial step of inventory gathering to preparing a community maintenance budget for asset maintenance planning

and monitoring. Depending on the application and design, Maintenance Management Systems may have various formats and procedures,

(e.g., various formats of work orders, reports and computer screens, etc.), but the basic principles of all these systems are similar to the one presented in this

document.

61
1.1 TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
The word “Operation” is usually linked with “Maintenance”. To put these terms in context, Operation is the performance of work or services and the provision
of materials and energy to ensure the day-to-day proper functioning of an asset, e.g., the work activities, associated chemicals and electricity to run a waste
water treatment plant. As such, it has a direct but simple impact on the cost of operating an asset. Maintenance is the work performed on an asset such as a
road, building, utility or piece of equipment to preserve it in as near to its original condition as is practical and to realize its normal life expectancy.
This Technical Information Document, as its name implies, concentrates on maintenance management systems only.

In general, maintenance can be classified into the following categories:

• routine - ongoing maintenance activities such as cleaning washrooms, grading roads


• and mowing lawns, which are required because of continuing use of the facilities;
• preventive - periodic adjustment, lubrication and inspection of mechanical or other equipment to ensure continuing working condition;
• major projects such as floor replacement, re‐roofing, or complete re‐painting which are performed once every few years; and
• Emergency - unexpected breakdowns of assets or equipment. These are unpredictable or reactive type of maintenance and are more difficult to schedule
than the above three categories.

Repair is restoring an asset by replacing a part which is broken or damaged, or reconditioning that part to its original or acceptable working condition.

The need for repairs can result from normal wear, vandalism, misuse or improper maintenance.

62
2. PREPARING A MAINTENANCE PLAN

2. PREPARING A MAINTENANCE PLAN

Depending on the application and design of a maintenance system, the format and steps of preparing a maintenance plan can vary.

The key steps in preparing a typical maintenance plan are:

• Prepare an asset inventory - identifying the physical features (e.g., area, material, etc.) of all assets which require maintenance;
• Identify maintenance activity and tasks - defining the type of maintenance task(activity) to be performed on each asset and what work should be done
under each activity,

• Identify the frequency of the task - determining how often the activities should be performed (frequency of service); this is important particularly in
preventive type of maintenance. Emergency or reactive type of repairs are unpredictable, but with good preventive maintenance, the frequency of

emergency situations occurring may be reduced;

• Estimate the time required to complete the task - indicating how long each task should take to complete;
• Develop an annual work schedule - planning what time the maintenance work for the entire year should take place;
• Prepare and issue a work order - identifying what, when, where and by whom maintenance work is to be done; and
• Determine a Budget - determining the costs for all maintenance activities by calculating labour hours, material, equipment, and contracting costs.
A chart showing a Maintenance Management System Process is shown in Figure. More detailed discussion of the steps are covered in subsequent sections.

Inventory

The inventory is a list of physical features (area, material, etc.) of capital assets that require

maintenance. The types of data to be kept vary with the maintenance activity and the task required.

Table 1 gives examples of the types of inventory detail.

Task Statement / Frequency / Task Times

A task statement is a detailed list of the generic maintenance tasks to be performed for a particular type of asset in conducting preventive or routine

maintenance.

Frequency refers to how often the maintenance tasks are performed, for example, daily, weekly or every five years.

Task times indicate how long it will take to do such an amount of work.

Each task statement relates to a specific type of maintenance activity appropriate for an asset.

A component of an asset, such as a boiler in a building, may require maintenance checks weekly, monthly, quarterly, and/or annually.

Similarly, a road may have a single task statement, such as grading, to be repeated a number of times during the year.

To prepare a set of tasks applicable to a particular asset, one should review the physical features of an

asset and/or the manufacturer’s operation and maintenance manual to determine the maintenance tasks, task times and frequencies required.

For emergency or reactive type work orders, the maintenance tasks and estimated task times will have to be assessed based upon the problem occurring.

65
Work Schedule

The work schedule lists all maintenance work to be done for the whole year for each asset.

It can be used to identify work load peaks and valleys, i.e., where load balancing, overtime and/or part-time help is needed. It also serves as a basis for

preparing and issuing scheduled work orders and for preparing the maintenance budget.

When all work orders have been listed and the hours distributed, the sub-totals of each period for each worker are calculated.

This process is repeated for work orders to be carried out by other workers, and extended to all capital assets to obtain the annual work load profile for each

worker.

Balancing Work Load

Work load balancing may reduce the extreme demands of personnel and provide a more even work load, leading to better use of human resources, reduced

administrative paper work and improved efficiency. To balance the work load, one may:

a) Shift some of the work in the peak period(s) to other weeks, either sooner or later than originally planned.

If the demand in certain weeks is still greater than the available hours from a regular shift, the deficit could be made up by overtime;

b) Assign part‐time personnel for the peak periods; or,

c) Assign additional duties or emergency work to the worker in the period where the worker is not busy.

Decisions of this type are required to make the total work load for each worker as even as possible to facilitate staffing and to identify periods when additional

help is required.

66
Work Orders

Work orders provide information on what, where, when, how long and by whom maintenance is to be carried out.

Work orders are prepared from inventory data (physical features) and task statements.

Each work order lists tasks for the same frequency of work and for the same asset.

Another work order could contain different tasks for monthly maintenance of the same asset.

The general guidelines for preparing a work order are as follows:

a) Starting with any asset on reserve, say a First Nations Day Care Centre, examine the inventory data and typical task statements to determine the tasks

appropriate for that specific asset;

b) List the asset name, maintenance activity number and work order number, etc. on a blank work order. Using the task statement or manufacturer’s operation

and maintenance manual as a reference (modify, if necessary, to suit specific situations), fill in the appropriate tasks (i.e., Work To Be Performed) on the

work order;

c) Calculate or estimate the time needed to complete the individual tasks and enter the total time for all tasks in the “planned time” block. The sum of work order

planned times for all assets in a reserve will determine the workforce requirement for planning and scheduling personnel resources. Time standards for

routine and preventative maintenance activities are based on time studies and are available from reference books. If time data for a specific task is

unavailable, it can be estimated based on similar past experience. This is particularly true for emergency or reactive type work orders. When the task has

been completed, the actual time taken should be compared to the estimated time to determine the accuracy of the estimate or measure the productivity of the

maintenance team.

67
Maintenance Budget

A maintenance budget is a cost projection based on the costs of labour, equipment, material and other items (such as contracts) required to do all work

identified in the Work Schedule.

After the costs are calculated for one work order, the process is repeated for the remaining work orders to get the total cost required to maintain the asset. The

maintenance supervisor is responsible for monitoring the actual expenditures against the budget for the year. He or she is also responsible for its yearly update

using forecast labour rates, and material and service contract costs. The updated budget would be used for determining the operation and maintenance costs of

the First Nation’s physical assets. The Annual Maintenance Budget recaps total labour hours, labour cost, equipment cost and material cost for the asset.

At this point, all overhead costs, utility costs, and maintenance management supervision costs are also entered.

To determine the total maintenance budget for a First Nation, simply prepare a similar summary for each asset in the community and add up the totals of each

asset in the community.

68
Management of Maintenance

There is a lot of work required to set up a successful maintenance management system.

However, once it is in place, most of the data and calculations remain the same from year to year. Changes are required only when there is an addition or

deletion to the inventory or when cost increases and estimates need to be corrected. In these cases, the appropriate work orders and schedule must be revised

and the labour, equipment, material and contract costs updated for the new year. There are numerous computerized maintenance management systems

available in the commercial market to assist in effectively managing the maintenance of on‐reserve assets.

The maintenance supervisor or manager must also monitor the work progress daily, weekly or monthly depending on the nature of the situation and the

potential impact of a service breakdown to the community.

He or she must not wait until the year end to review the budget, as it would be too late to take any corrective action if it were necessary.

Any significant variance in labour hours, work order costs or total maintenance cost for a particular asset should be identified through exception reporting.

The supervisor should determine the cause of the variance and, where possible, develop alternative solutions or actions to reduce time and costs.

Taking these steps will help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the maintenance program.

69
3. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

3. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

GENERAL

Doosan should be inspected externally every six months and any damaged paintwork on pipe work and valves renewed. An annual internal inspection of

vessels is also recommended.

In case of any visible external damage, consider possibilities of corrosion, due to underlying causes such as a damaged lining in a tank or a pipe carrying alkali.

Consequently, when removing scale on such items (e.g. chemical storage tanks, measuring and dilution tanks) exercise caution.

If there is any possibility of a break‐ through, consult the waste water treatment plant Engineer.

In addition to the items specifically mentioned in the MAINTENANCE section, rectify leaking valves and joints immediately by tightening loosened nuts and bolts

or changing sealing joints (gaskets). Replace gland packing when required DON’T LET LEAKS PERSIST. KEEP THE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT

DRY AND WELL SWEPT.

If it is necessary for maintenance personnel to enter any of the treatment units, rubber or soft soled shoes must be worn and great care taken to avoid damage

to any rubber lining and internal lateral systems.

The feet should be placed on the lateral clamping bars, not on the laterals themselves and every effort taken to avoid standing on the small plastic strainers.

Entry into the vessels should be discouraged, but if unavoidable, must be carried out under the supervision of the waste water treatment plant Chemist or

Engineer.

70
On equipments where, internal stud, nuts, bolts and washers are made of high-grade stainless steel, it is essential that only the right quality replacements be

used.

The stainless steels are virtually non-magnetic and therefore the quality of a replacement can easily be confirmed with a magnet.

Any items showing magnetic properties must be rejected.

Whenever a bolt or nut butts against rubber, use the special rectangular plate washers.

When tightening down on these washers ensure that friction between the nut (or bolt head) and the washer does not cause the washer to rotate and peel-off the

rubber lining.

Valves should be inspected regularly and gland packing where used should be replaced regularly.

Valves of the plug type and some diaphragm type, which require lubrication, should be attended regularly.

Refer to the auxiliary manuals for maintenance instructions on other equipment that may be supplied such as pumps and instrumentation.

71
CHEMICAL TANKS

Every six months inspect all measuring tanks externally, including connecting paperwork and valves.

Remove any loose paintwork and scale and make good with fresh paint.

If the internal condition of the tank is suspect the tank cover must be removed under the supervision of the Water Treatment Plant Chemist and the interior

inspected and cleaned.

Whilst the cover is removed, ensure that any sludge in the bottom of the measuring tanks is removed.

On automatic plants, a possible cause of a ‘slow acid’ is sludge in the bottom of the tank forming a permanent circuit between the earth and the low-level

electrode.

When scraping out sludge in the acid measuring tanks use a wooden spatula or a piece of hard polyphone to avoid damage to any lining.

The level indicator glasses should also be cleaned periodically with clean rags and hot water.

The lining material in the acid measuring tanks is normally rubber when hydrochloric acid is used.

Tanks for concentrated alum are unlined. The caustic soda measuring tanks are normally unlined.

72
Note:

If at any time the unlined pipe‐work to and from the acid measuring tanks are flushed out with water for cleaning purposes, it is essential that the pipes are

thoroughly dried out before concentrated acid is again passed through them, otherwise the local dilution of the acid by the residual water on the walls of the pipe

will result in corrosion.

The back bone of a successful plant is the regular preventive maintenance by the operating staff.

The following are the general points to be noted for the maintenance. Besides the instructions are outlined for important operative equipments in the

manufacture’s instructions manual.

a) Oil levels are to be checked and the deficit level is to be made up by using the recommended grade of oil.

i. Reduction gears

ii. Oil lubricated pumps (if any)

The frequency of application and type of lubricants to be used, is to be followed as per the manufacturer’s instruction manual.

b) The major greasing points to be checked once in a week are listed below:

i. Plummer blocks

ii. M. S. Shutter / gates sides

iii. Hand Wheel operated spindles/ valve

iv. Motors

73
c) Check for tightness of nuts and bolts every month of all equipments and ensure that all are free from undue vibration.

d) Some hand operated shutters which are not in regular use should be operated from time to time for easy movement and preventions of failures when

required to be put into service.

e) The carbon brushes of the current collector box should be checked for abrasion and wear every three months and replaced when worn out, with brushes

suitable for use in slipring (5 rings) induction motor.

I. Study the layout of the pumping installations and valves for familiarization.

II. The layout chart should be displayed prominently in the pump house for ready reference.

III. Ensure that the specifications of the pumps, motors, valves etc. on the chart tally with those at the installation.

IV. Ensure that adequate quantities of the appropriate lubricant oil and grease are available in stock.

V. Also display the electrical wiring diagram for ready reference.

74
START – UP PREPARATION

i) Check and ensure that the pump sets, motors, valves, piping etc. are secured and in proper alignment.

ii) Remove all construction materials and tools lying in and around units.

iii) Ensure that the drainage is in working conditions.

iv) Fill up the bearings, gear boxes and the moving parts with the correct grade and quantity of lubricants.

v) Turn unit by hand to ensure free movement of pump and drive shafts.

vi) Ensure that the correct grades of chemicals are available in ready stock at least for one month consumption.

vii) Ensure that all suction valves of pumps remain open.

75
ELECTRICAL MOTOR:

The following part gives a General idea about Electrical Routine Maintenance and fault finding.

1) Motors should be dusted and cleaned periodically and if possible use compressed air to clean the grills.

2) Greasing to the boaring must be done regularly.

The grease used must be of good quality and required grade.

3) The terminal box covers must be opened periodically and on opening, examine the following :

‐ The tightness of the connections

- The insulation resistance of the leads

If the connections are loose tighten them, otherwise loose connection may cause man problems like overheating.

4) The condition of the bearings must be checked periodically. If excessive noise is observed, then replace the bearings.

5) the alignment of the coupling (Motor & Pump) must be checked regularly.

6) Check the insulation resistance of the motors.

7) Put on the heater supply to motors which are not in use by operating the switch from the respective Motor control Centre cubicle.

8) If motors get too hot check the following :

- Voltage as at low voltages the motor will draw more current.

- Alignment of the coupling

76
MOTORS TRIPPING

Motors will trip either due to overload or due to single phasing.

The overload tripping can be cleared by pressing the trip release button fitted on each MCC cubicle.

However a small interval of time has to be allowed just after the motor tripping before it can be reset and restarted.

NUISANCE TRIPPING

In some bigger motors where single phase preventing relay (SPPR) has been provided, there can be nuisance tripping i.e., the pump will trip within a minute or

two just after starting.

This can be rectified by changing the wiring of SPPR as follows :

CAUTION

Whenever leads 1 & 3 are interchanged leads 2&4 must also be interchanged without fail.

77
MOTOR CONTROL CENTRE

Proper care must be taken. Periodically the cubicles should be opened out and cleaned with service air.

Keep all the door always securely closed.

During the winter season, put on the heaters to drive out moisture.

Whenever the cubicles are removed before putting it back apply petroleum jelly on the rollers.

While putting back the cubicles ensure that the cubicle has properly entered and all the four hine screws can be tightened without difficulty.

Otherwise remove the cubicle once again, push it properly.

It is to be noted that there are spare cubicles for all the drives and in case of emergency,

remove the faulty cubicle and in its place put the spare cubicle.

No motor can be started / stopped from the MCC.

However, the indication lamps are provided on the MCC cubicles (Red for ON, Green for OFF and Amber for TRIP).

A burnt‐out fuse should always be replaced only by HRC fuse.

Introduction to CPP

What is Condensate?

Condensate is treated water that has gone through a steam cycle generally in a
power plant.

The quality of condensate will be depend on the quality of treated water and
operating pressure of boiler.

Introduction to CPP

The Condensate Cycle

4
Introduction to CPP

What is in Condensate?

What is supposed to be in the condensate ?


• High Purity Water
• Amines/Corrosion Conditioning Chemicals

What are the contaminants and where are they come from?
• Strong Acidic ions - Make-up or Condenser Leak
• Strong Basic ions - Make-up or Condenser Leak
• Weak Acidic ions - Make-up or Condenser Leak and air in leakage
• Organics – Make-up or decomposition of boiler additives
• CO2 - air in leakage
• Crud – condenser, piping, boiler components etc.

5
Introduction to CPP

What is condensate polishing?


Condensate Polishing is the act of removing impurities from steam cycle
such as metal oxides (crud), scales, trace ionic impurities, silica, fragments
of IX resin and/or filter media.

6
Introduction to CPP

Why use Condensate Polishing?


1. Save money
• Reduce start-up time after outages
• Reduce heat loss due to fouling of heat transfer surfaces by
preventing transport of iron and/or copper corrosion products
• Extend the life of the power plant
• Maximum water utilization

2. Improve, maintain the boiler and steam chemistry


3. Enable power plant to stay on line with a small to moderate
condenser leak
4. Provide time to arrange for orderly shutdown in the event of a
large condenser leak

7
Condensate Polishing Techniques

Condensate Polishing Options


• High-performance back washable filters
• for heavy metal, suspended solids removal primarily
• Powdered resin precoat style cartridge filter / demineralizers
• light ion exchange loading
• excellent heavy metal removal
• Deep bed Demineralizers
• largest bulk ion exchange capacity
• moderate iron removal capability
• external regeneration
• Multiple combinations of the above options

8
Condensate Polishing Techniques

Why are Deep Beds Externally Regenerated?


1. Prevents chance of strong acids and/or bases from accidentally getting
into the boiler

2. Polisher vessels are designed for high flow rates at low pressure loss
and are not well suited for the much lower flows encountered during
regeneration

3. By keeping a freshly regenerated “spare” charge of resin, the polisher


can be put back in service in much less time than it takes to perform a
regeneration.

4. Avoid cross contamination of resins, regenerant chemicals

9
Condensate Polishing Techniques

External Regeneration Design


Three Tank Design (For Gheco-One) Advantage
• Resin Separation Tank (RST) • Best Value Proposition
• Cation Regeneration / Resin Mix / • Lower cross contamination
Storage Tank (CRRMST) • Higher regen efficiency
• Anion Regeneration Tank (ART) Disadvantage
• Height of SPT
From Polisher • Spare charge resin storage

Dosing (Metering) Pump Characteristics (I)


The pumping action is developed by a reciprocating
piston. This reciprocating motion develops a flow easily
represented by a sine wave.
Actual flow rate is determined by the following formula:

Flow rate = Displacement x Cycle per unit of time.

Unlike centrifugal pump, flow rate is not greatly affected


by changes in discharge pressure.

stroke setting may not equal 50% flow. This is due to the
fact that the calibration like may not pass through 0 on
both axes simultaneously. By measuring flow at 2
stroke settings, plotting both points and drawing a
straight line through them, other flow rates vs. stroke
can be accurately predicted.

Most of metering pumps have a turndown ratio of 10:1,


which simply means that the pump is within its accuracy
rating anywhere between 10% and 100% of capacity.

4.1 MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance will depend upon your service requirement:
Injection chemical being handled, environmental condition, duty cycle of pump, etc. When working on
any component of the system, i.e. pump, valves, pulsation dampener, refer to the Installation, Operation
and Maintenance manual for that particular items. Some operational and maintenance checks that need
to be performed as followings;

 Piping/ Tubing integrity: Routinely check piping, tubing, Isolation valves and connections for leaks.
Replace tubing as necessary. Recommend weekly check.

 Strainer: Y-strainer is furnished in the suction piping of each pump. Check this for the presence of
trapped solids and clean as necessary. Recommend weekly check.

 System operation: Perform flow calibration regularly to ensure that dosing chemical is being added at
the proper rate. Recommend monthly.

 PSV: Check to ensure that bolts are tight. Recommend monthly.

 Pulsation dampener: Check air pressure versus recommended set point. Recommend weekly.

 Calibration pot: If handling sticky chemicals, may require cleaning to view liquid level inside. Perform
as necessary.

 Injection Pump: Replace check valves, diaphragm and pump internal relief valve poppet. Recommend
yearly.

3. TROUBLE SHOOTING

WOORI SYSTEM Co., Ltd


SAMPLING SYSTEM
69

3. TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. SAMPLE LINE

a) Low total flow or low reduced pressure.

1) Improperly adjusted pressure reducer - check that pressure reducer is properly adjusted according to instructions under Manual.

2) Clogged sample line - shut down the sample line purge the sample line for 30 to 60 seconds and then re-start the sample line

3) Clogged sample filter - shut down the sample line remove the filter element, clean or replace, reinstall the filter element and then re-start
the sample line.

b) High total flow or high-reduced pressure.

Pressure reducer failure - high pressure reduction devices wear with use. The valves used for pressure reduction in this system are no different. As
they are used, both the plug and the seat wear, eventually allowing more flow to pass than is acceptable. Remove and replace the Pressure Reducer.

c) within specifications, check the chiller for proper operation.


If this direction does not bring temperature to an acceptable High temperature

Total flow may be too high. (For high flow conditions. Refer to No. 2 above.) If flow is temperature, consult WOORI SYSTEM Co., Ltd.

2. COOLANT LINE

a) Cavitation can be caused by three (3) factors: The coolant flow rate is too low;

The coolant pressure is too low(Display on the Chiller) the sample flow is too high. Check to see that all parameters are within design
specifications.

b) Excessive coolant velocity can cause a condition similar to “water hammer”.

Reduce coolant flow by adjusting coolant valve (CW).

GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

1. Objective & Introduction

• Manufacturer : Grundfos Water Treatment GmbH


• Product : Gas Chlorination System
• Type : Continous 266 kg/h / Shock 797 kg/h
• Year of manufacture : 2016
• Site / Location : Vinh Tan 4 Thermal Power Plant Project (600MW x 2 units)

The system is sized to comply with the maximum chlorine demand per hour which results from the shock dosing operation
mode :
3 x 177.419 kg/h = 532.257 kg/h

Since the biggest flow to be handled by a single element in the chlorination line is 200kg/h, the smallest possible configuration
3 x 200kg/h is chosen.

The following elements are included 3 times with a maximum capacity of 200kg/h each :
• Evaporator, liquid chlorine trap, pressure reducing valves, vacuum regulators, dosing regulators, injectors

The storage area elements are able to handle a capacity of 600kg/h of liquid chlorine each.
The following elements are included with a capacity of 600kg/h each :
- Header lines (1 duty + 1 stand-by), change over device (1 unit)

The continuous dosing rate only requires one 200kg/h chlorination line to be in operation at the same time.

4.2 Chemical Reactions of Chlorine in Water

Chlorine gas mixed into water decomposes and reacts with it to form disinfectant substances (HOCl, OCl- and dissolved Cl2).
Most effective reaction product is HOCl due to its similar structure compared to HOH (H2O).
These substances interfere with live bacteria in the treatment-requiring water.
HOCl can penetrate through cell membranes and react with cell fluids and thus can manipulate some vital enzymes.
Most notably is the enzyme “Triose-Phosphate-Dehydrogenase” that has the function to break down sugar molecules.
In general enzymes are catalysts that strongly accelerate very specific chemical reactions. When an enzyme gets slightly
manipulated (by reacting with chlorine) it completely loses its chemical function.
As a result the metabolism of bacteria cells is stopped. Because of its oxidizing properties chlorine also reacts with virus and
spores.
When a reduction of germ number by factor 100.000 is reached we can call the water to be disinfected.

13
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

4.3 Equipment Description

The complete chlorination closing system is described according to a basic system schematic and the flow sheet.

The Chlorination System is fully automatic with control from 10 to 100% output. The Gas-chlorination plant is designed for, in
addition to local controls, remote operation. The control of the system can be controlled remotely from the central control
room. Manual operation is only possible at the local control boxes and instruments.

Motor of booster pumps are provided with local start/stop facility. The alarm signal is also sent to CCR.

The chlorination system will be interlocked with the operation of the Main Cooling water pumps for Cl2 injection as well as to
prevent Cl2 injection when the pump is shutdown.
14
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

4.4 Function and Design of Chlorine Storage and Change-Over-System

Gaseous chlorine is supplied by drums of 840 liter of volume. For liquid chlorine extraction use lower drum valve.

Eight drums are connected in parallel using a chlorine manifold (collecting-line or connection-line or header line). Each drum is
connect to Chlorine manifold using a flexible connector line. Also the Nitrogen flushing device is connected via a flexible
connector line.

15
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

Two chlorine manifolds are connected via a change-over-


system.

The chlorination system is supplied out of one chlorine


manifold until all eight chlorine drums run empty and the
pressure drops below 3-2 bar.

Then the change-over-system automatically switches to the


other chlorine manifold with full chlorine drums connected
to it.

This change-over-system consists of two motor driven 2-way


ball valves. The motors are connected to a control device
that gets a signal from a manometer connected with the
chlorine manifolds.

Now the empty drums can be disconnected and replaced


by full ones.

Beware that the pressure of the drum does not inform about
the filling level of the liquid chlorine inside. The content of
chlorine can be read from the drum balance.

Drums are moved using a crane system and a lifting beam. The chlorination system is fully operational during this time. After
replacement of the drums the chlorine manifold should be flushed out using dry air or nitrogen. This work step removes any
humidity out of the pipe that would otherwise lead to corrosion inside the pipe.

 NOTE
Never flush chlorine manifolds and metal type pipeline of the chlorination system with water.

16
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

4.5 Function and Design of Evaporator

The Automatic liquid gas evaporator heats the liquid chlorine supplied from the
storage containers, transforming it into a gaseous state.

The unit is specifically designed for use in large-scale dosing plants in chemical
water treatment facilities.

It basically consists of the evaporator component with electrical heating


elements, regulation, control and safety units, and the control panels which are
divided into a load unit and a separate control unit. All of the assemblies, with the
exception of the control panel, are compactly combined in a glass-fiber
reinforced plastic housing.

The evaporator consists of a vertical multi-tube heat exchanger. The heating


elements, which are controlled by thermostats, generate a constant temperature
in the heat transfer medium circuit. An additional contact thermometer triggers
an alarm if the temperature falls below 50 °C or in the event of cable breakage
and a supplied appropriate pressure reducing valve is closed, if the temperature
exceeds 75 °C, the heating is switched off. The liquid gas to be vaporised is fed
at pressure into the bottom of the heat exchanger and leaves it at the top as a
dry saturated gas flow.

17
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

With regard to the gas outlet temperature, the outlet is designed to prevent the
dosed gas recondensing as it passes through the installation downstream
towards the pressure reducing valve.

The equalizing tank contains a float switch, which switches off the evaporator in
case of lack of liquid, in order to protect the heating elements against damage.
A second monitoring of the heating circuit is run by a pressure switch mounted
at the equalizing tank. If the pressure in the heating circuit increases
inadmissibly, e.g. by overheating of the heat transfer medium, or by penetration
of chlorine because of a leakage in the heat exchanger, the evaporator is
switched off.

A bursting disk connected to an expansion tank provides a check against the


maximum admissible operating pressure being exceeded. This is dimensioned
in such a way that it can significantly release excess pressure by rupturing the
bursting disk. A pressure switch reports when the bursting disk has been burst
and the heating is switched off. The same message occurs in the event of cable
breakage excessively high or low gas pressure is reported by a contact
pressure gauge with two adjustable limit contacts. If the pressure falls below 3
bar a supplied appropriate pressure reducing valve is closed, if the pressure
exceeds 12 bar, the heating is switched off.

18
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

4.6 Function and Design of Vacuum Regulators

The gaseous chlorine is pushed out of the drums, through the liquid filter and
pressure reducers into vacuum regulators. In case of maintenance service at a
vacuum regulator the chlorination system can be operated by any other vacuum
regulator.

The vacuum regulator is the main part for fundamental system safety. It
operates using a membrane with different surface areas at pressure and
vacuum side. Chlorine gas can only flow though the regulator if a minimum
vacuum level is available.

After this component the system pressure of chlorine gas will be lower than
environmental pressure. During system operation chlorine leakages are not
possible after the vacuum regulator.

19
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

4.7 Function and Design of Gas Dosing Systems

Best available technology for chorine dosing is based on vacuum gas dosing systems.

Basically a chlorinator consists of variable cavity between a cone and a cone seat that creates
pressure drop for the chlorine gas flow. The chlorine amount flowing to through the dosing
system is regulated by adjusting this cavity. Here a stepper motor adjusts the spindle position to
set the cavity range.

Gas flow is indicated locally at a flowmeter (rota-meter). Different volume flow through the dosing
system cause different pressure drops. This effect causes erroneous dosing accuracy and is
therefore compensated by a differential pressure regulator. This device is placed at the outlet of
the dosing regulator and keeps the differential pressure around the dosing system at constant
level.

It operates similar to the vacuum regulator by using a membrane. In case of variable water quality,
manual dosing rate adjustment is based on concentration of residual chlorine value at discharge
channel (P1HTQ03CQ003). Residual chlorine in the discharge seawater form Power Plant is
measured by an on-line measuring device (P1HTQ03CQ003) at discharge channel. The residual
chlorine value can be monitored at the local control panel of gas chlorination system.

The operator in local control room controls the dosing rate of gas chlorine by manual adjusting of
spindle position on touch screen at the local control panel.
The chlorinated solution will be dosed at each dosing point with the constant flow rate regardless
of the chlorine concentrations. The gas chlorination system is designed to be able to dose 1 mg/l
continuous dosing rate and 3 mg/l shock dosing rate at the maximum chlorine concentration.

When chlorine concentration is lowered by operator to keep the residual chlorine at the seawater
discharge within the locally regulated value (0.2 mg/l), the continuous dosing rate and shock
dosing rate will be reduced in proportion to the concentrations of the chlorine solution.

20
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

4.8 Function and Design of Booster Pumps and Injectors

Driving force of a vacuum gas chlorination system is the


booster pump that powers the injectors. Booster pumps are
designed as efficient standard centrifugal pumps producing
enough pressure and volume flow for the injector. Driving fluid
must be clean water free from particles and chlorine. As pump
fluid is clean water a single mechanical seal is applicable as
dynamic seal barrier. At suction side we recommend to install
a particle filter for protection of pump and higher system
availability.

Pump failure and dry run are monitored using a pressure side
manometer with min/max contacts. Injectors operate according
to the venture-effect are also known as water jet ejectors.

Apart from generating a vacuum for the dosing system the


ejector ensures mixing and dissolving of chlorine gas and
water. Injectors are equipped with an internal check valve to
prevent back flow of water into vacuum gas system.

At pressure side there is another manometer. Differential


pressure around the ejector is an indicator for good operation
status. Leaving the injector the high concentrated chlorine
solution is injected into the pipeline via a seeding point.

21
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

4.9 Function and Design of Chlorine measurement system

The chlorine measurement system operates according to potentiostatic principle and


measures free chlorine content of water flow inside the pipeline after the seeding
point. For good system control it is recommended to install the sample point so that
contact time of chlorine is about 10 minutes. Higher contact times result in higher
dead times of the control systems measuring loop. It is also possible to measure the
residual chlorine content after 30 minutes of contact time but in this case it is not
possible to control the dosing regulators because the dead time is too high.

A sample pump will deliver the sample water to the measuring cell. For details about
the sample system, please refer to the documentation “Data Sheets Measuring
System”. Free chlorine content is defined as content of one of three chlorine
containing molecules (HCIO, CIO-, and C12). Oxidizing these molecules at the
cathode by means of adding electrons to the molecules takes up two electrons for
each of the molecule. By measuring electric current to the cathode and keeping
electric potential at the same level it is possible to read free chlorine content inside
the water flow.

22
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

4.10 Functional Description of Safety Installations

Safety system reduces probability of chlorine leakages. In case of release of chlorine this malfunction will be detected and an
alarm will be triggered.

Additionally personal safety equipment is supplied. This must always be worn when operating or maintaining chlorine
containing machinery.

Some plant components required for system safety are described together with the chlorination system.

There are additional safety installations that are triggered by chlorine gas sensors. These sensors measure contents of
chlorine in the air of the chlorination building. There are two set points; a lower limit will switch on the ventilation fans to remove
low chlorine content out of the building. A second high sensor level will usually trigger a neutralization plant.

23
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

4.11 Function and Design of Gas Neutralization System

The scrubbing system is exclusively intended for neutralization of chlorine gas within the context of the possible applications
described in this manual. The system is designed for operation during emergency situations only.

Neutralization system, pre-installed with following components


 Circulation pump (2x)
• Flow adjustment valve
• Flow meter with min. contact
 Blower (2x)
• Flaps installed in suction side air duct system
 Tower (2x)*
• Filled with packing material
• Spray nozzle
• Man holes
 Storage tank*
• Min. level contact
• Man hole
 Terminal box
• Circulation pump
• Blower
• Minimum flow contact
• Minimum liquid level contact
* Basic material of contruction is PEHD

24
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

The chlorine gas neutralization system is designed for operation during emergence case only. Apart from that the system
should be turned on verification of functionality once a year. Further maintenance is described in the detailed description of the
scrubbing unit.

In case of an emergency the gas detector starts the neutralization unit automatically as follows:
The alarm of the gas detector starts the circulation pump.
The caustic soda is delivered up to the spray nozzles inside the
tower where it gets spayed uniformly over the tower packing.
The alarm also starts the blower to exhaust the contaminated
air through the neutralization column.

After the caustic soda has been started to circulate, the blower
blows the contaminated air upwards the tower, so the caustics
and the contaminated air will flow in opposite direction.

The fan as well as the circulation pump is made of polypropylene


and therefore is long-term resistant against liquid chemicals and
gas mixtures. To obtain the required surface for neutralization,
the tower is filled with rings. It ensures that a maximized surface
comes to minimized volume to guarantee the right
neutralization of the contaminated air.

A mist collector on top of the tower column ensures that no


droplets of chemical solution can leave the system. The heat
produced by the chemical reaction of caustics and chlorine
gas is absorbed by the washing liquid.

25
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

Functional Description of Ventilation fans

Chlorine continually diffuses through PVC pipes, membranes and gaskets.


Dust from mechanical work and vapors from building materials and installations need to be transported to the outside. The fans
are required to maintain clean air for operators and personnel.
Also minor chlorine leakages can increase chlorine concentration in the air inside the building.

Chlorine concentration should be kept below 5ppm in order to protect personnel health and in order to prevent installations
from corrosion.
The ventilation fans will be triggered by chlorine gas detectors at a chlorine concentration of 1.5 ppm. The positions of air inlet
into the rooms should be designed for air exchange. In normal operation the chlorine content should drop below 1.5ppm by air
exchange.
In case of larger leakages the ventilation fans will be switched off automatically
at chlorine gas concentration of 5 ppm.
The plant operator must refer to local regulations concerning environmental
contamination by chlorine gas.

26
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

Functional description control cabinet

Function is described in electrical plans that are included in the project documentation. Special modifications were applied for
this particular project concerning the automatic flaps installed at the air ducts. There are 2 flaps installed in the suction line.

Concept of control

Volume flow needs to be adjusted using the manual ball valve at


pressure side of the circulation pump.
The floater inside the flow meter should float close under the
maximum mark. Too high volume flow can reduce live time of
the circulation pump.

5.1 General method for doing the calculation

Chlorine consumption = Water flow rate * Concentration

5.2 Specific calculation for Vinh Tan 4 and Vinh Tan 4 extension project

Water flow rate: 265,620 m3/h


Continuous dosing rate: 1 ppm = 1 mg/l
Shock dosing rate: 3 ppm = 3 mg/l
Shock dosing duration / interval: 20 minutes per every 8 hr = 1 hr per day
Continuous dosing: 265,620,000 l/h * 1 mg/l = 265,620 g/h = 265.620 kg/h
Shock dosing: 265,620,000 l/h * 3 mg/l = 796,860 g/h = 796.860 kg/h

5.3 Designing of the size of the equipment to match the peak consumption

Biggest single line components available: 200 kg/h

 4 lines of 200 kg/h in duty & 1 line of 200kg/h stand-by are necessary to fulfil the peak consumption

28
GAS CHLORINATION SYSTEM

5.4 Changing interval

5.4.1 General method for changing interval of chlorine drum bank

Changing interval = Amount of chlorine available / Chlorine consumption.

5.4.2 Specific calculation for Vinh Tan 4 and Vinh Tan 4 extension project

Amount of chlorine available: 8 * 1,000 kg = 8,000 kg

Chlorine consumption daily: 23 h * 265.620 kg/h + 1 h * 796.860 kg/h


= 6,109.260 kg + 796.860 kg = 6,906.120 kg

Changing interval: 8,000 kg / 6,906.120 kg / day = 1.16 days

 8 drums need to be changed every day assuming the indicated dosing rates.

Total consumption period of entire storage


= 58 * 1,000 kg / 6,906.120 kg / day = 8.4 days

 58 drums can serve max. 8.4 days of whole chlorination plant consumption.

 BPR2 opens and Hydrogen delivery begins with gas being sent to 
vent.
 Operator should confirm the following information:
 Pressure is at 140 to 160 psi.
 Delta P is at ‐1.0 to ‐0.5 inches
 KOH temperature has reached set point  60C
 Cooling water valve (MV1) is opening. The valve rotates back and 
forth to control KOH temperature
 H2 in O2 Temperature is responding and flow rate set correctly.

 Generator Operating
 Switch Generator Production from Vent to Delivery
 Close the Vent Valve.  SLOWLY
 Open the Delivery Valve.  SLOWLY
 Slowly to prevent Generator from Alarming for Delta P.
 Pressure on the Generator will begin to rise from the  140 
psi condition depending on the demand of the gas.
 Example:  Buffer tank and Compressor System
Buffer Tank pressure increases and once it approaches 150psi 
(set point) the production rate on the generator will begin to 
decrease.

Operation

Generator Operation

 Once internal pressure reaches 150 psi the current is regulated to 
provide the required gas flow.
 BPR2 protects the system from over demand of Hydrogen (140 psi).
 BPR3 protects the system from under demand: When the system 
increases to 160 psi, the generator should be running at minimum 
current 125 to 150 amps.
 If the demand is lowered, then the pressure will go up and current 
will go down.

 Online dryer delivers for 6 hours
 Offline dryer heater comes on for 90 minutes
 Offline dryer then cools for 4 hours
 During heating and cooling a small amount of dry gas is vented through the offline dryer
 Offline dryer pressurizes 30 minutes prior to switch
 Dryer Sequence status can be seen on the Dryer Screen
 Feedwater
 Feedwater pump will come ON when the feedwater level reaches the start fill setpoint 
typically 8 inches.
 Feedwater pump will shut off when the level reaches 8.5 inches.

What Data is Important and Why
 H2 in O2 Probe
 This monitors the performance of the module by looking at the amount of H2 in O2.

 The flow rate must always be controlled to the same value  100 scc of air

 Operator must make sure data is collected and record the flow rate. He must 
also adjust the flow rate to the set point.
 IF the temperature is always at or below Ambient temperature, then it’s possible the 
probe is no longer functioning. 
 The probe can be tested simply by increasing the flow rate and the temperature should 
increase.
 If it does not respond, the probe should be tested and possibly replaced.

 DO not run the generator if this probe is not functioning since the protection for the
