4. VALVES:
4.1 Definition:
A valve is a mechanical device that controls the flow of fluid and pressure within a system by performing any of the following functions: Stopping and starting fluid flow Varying the amount of the fluid flow Controlling the direction of the fluid flow Regulating downstream system or process pressure Receiving component or piping over pressure

Plug and Globe valve

13

4.2 Valve types and application:


SR.NO. VALVE TYPE 1 GATE VALVE ADVANTAGES Low pessure drop when, fully open and tight sealing. DISADVANTAGES Gate valves have slow response characteristics and require large actuating forces. It causes vibration,seat and disc wear in partial open condition. High pressure drop compare to gate valve. APPLICATION Gate valves are used primarily for on-off application. they are suited for high temp. &pressure with wide variety of fluids.they are not normally used for slurries,viscous fluids. Globe valves are used primarily for throttling purposes. globe valve may be consider a general purpose flow control valve specifically used for high temperature applications. Plug valves are extensively used in refinery ,petrochemical and chemical industries. it is also used for on-off service.

2 GLOBE VALVE Faster to open or close,most reliable form of sealing, throttling to control the flow to any desired degree and positive shut off.

3 PLUG VALVE

Normally small in size requires less head room and available in wide range of materials.they provide tight shut off,quick opening and low pressure drop. Low pressure drop,tight shutoff,quarter turn operation, easy to maintain,low torque. they are small in size and low in weight.

operating torque is quite high. lubricated plug valves require periodic lubrication and lubricant may react with the fluid being carried.

4 BALL VALVE

Fluid trapped in the ball in the closed position may cause problem of build up of vapour pressure and corrosion.

Ball valves are used in a wide range of applications including flow control,pressure control and shut off.they are used for corrosive fluids,cryogenic liquid very viscous fluids and slurries. These valves are also used in refinery,petrochemical and LPG application due to bubble tight shut off.

5 BUTTERFLY VALVE

Simple,compact form,Quick Opening,good controllability low pressure drop ,low weight and cost.

SR NO VALVE TYPE 6 DIAPHRAGM VALVE

ADVANTAGES The diaphragm completely keeps the working parts in isolation from process liquids.

Seals may be damaged if the Mainly used in low pressure velocity is high.Usually require applications where leakage high actuating forces,limited is relatively unimportant. to low pressure and elastomers elastoit is now widely being used mer limits the temperature. in majority of process applications. DISADVANTAGES APPLICATION
For high pressure application the valve operation is quite difficult. Due to its economy,the diaphragm valve finds a vast application for handling and corrosive liquids at low tempearature.and they are also used fertilizer,chemical industry,water treatment plants. Extensively used in process industry for avoiding the back flow and for piping with steam handling.

7 CHECK VALVE

Minimizes water hammer and avoids reverse flow.

The pressure drop across the valve is quite high and after continuous operation the composition of the seat gets disturbed re adjustment is very difficult.

4.3 Valve selection process:

15

4.4 Control valve:


Process plants consist of hundreds, or even thousands, of control loops all networked together to produce a product to be offered for sale. Each of these control loops is designed to keep some important process variable such as pressure, flow, level, temperature, etc. within a required operating range to ensure the quality of the end product. Each of these loops receives and internally creates disturbances that detrimentally affect the process variable, and interaction from other loops in the network provides disturbances that influence the process variable. To reduce the effect of these load disturbances, sensors and transmitters collect information about the process variable and its relationship to some desired set point. A controller then processes this information and decides what must be done to get the process variable back to where it should be after a load disturbance occurs. When all the measuring, comparing, and calculating are done, some type of final control element must implement the strategy selected by the controller. The most common final control element in the process control industries is the control valve. The control valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point.

5. PUMPS:
Definition: Pump is a device that imparts energy to a fluid passing through it to enable the fluid to move from one point to another. In practice, pumps change both the velocity and the pressure passing through them. Pumps fall into two broad classes: 1) Positive Displacement Pumps 2) Rotor dynamic Pumps

5.1 Positive Displacement Pumps:


Working Principles: 1. Fluid is displaced from the suction to the discharge by the mechanical variation of the

volume of chamber or chambers at every stroke or rotation of the pump 2. Volume of pump chamber alternately increases to draw the liquid in from suction pipe

& then decreased to force the liquid out into the delivery pipe 3. This may be done by either a reciprocating motion of a piston or by a rotary motion of

specially designed vanes, gears or screws

Characteristic:

1. 2. 3.

Self-priming All the valves at the discharge side of the pumps must be kept open prior starting Failure to do so will cause rapid increase of fluid pressure, leading to failure at the

weakest point in the system 4. Relief valve is always fitted in the system to avoid such failure

18

Subdivided into Two main categories:

1.

Reciprocating Pumps

- Where plunger or piston is reciprocated in a fluid cylinder - Suitable for delivering small quantities at high pressure

2.

Rotary Pumps ( Gear, Screw, Vane pumps )

- Where the liquid is forced through the pump casing by means of screws, gears or vanes - used for delivering moderate quantity at moderate pressure

5.1.1 Reciprocating Pump: Main Components: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Cylinder Piston Piston rod Gland Suction valve Discharge valve
SUCTION STROKE DISCH STROKE

Pump may be of Single acting or Double acting type

Single Acting Reciprocating Pump:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

There is one suction & one discharge per cycle Piston moves down during suction stroke Causes low pressure to create & fluid to flow into cylinder by opening suction valve Piston moves up during discharge stroke Causes fluid to be compressed and pressurised Discharge takes place by opening discharge v/v by high pressure fluid

19

5.1.2 Gear Pump:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

It is a positive displacement pump It consists of two meshing gears with one driving the other Fluid flows between the casing and the gear teeth Commonly employed for lube & fuel oil transfer Must have relief valve installed in the system

5.1.3 Screw Pump:

1. 2. 3. 4.

Screw pumps are positive displacement pumps Screws are meshed together with one driving other Fluid is displaced through the recesses between the screws and the casing May have single, double or triple screws

20

5.1.3 Vane Pump:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Vane pumps are positive displacement pumps Rotors having slots for vanes Centre of rotor is eccentric with casing This causes vanes to move in and out as the rotor rotates Causes change in volume in the respective chamber, similar to reciprocating pump

21

5.2 Roto dynamic Pumps:


1. 2. Often Known as dynamic pumps or centrifugal pumps Centrifugal pumps are more suitable for delivery of large quantities at low discharge

pressure 3. 4. 5. Are Non-self-priming pumps Loses suction and unable to pump once air gets into the pump system Must be primed before starting

22

Centrifugal Pump: Main Components: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Impeller Impeller wear ring Volute Casing Shaft Ball bearing Gland

Working Principle:

1. 2. 3.

Impeller rotates at high speed Fluid enters through the eye of the impeller Fluid is thrown by centrifugal force from the centre (suction side) radially outwards to

the periphery of impeller (discharge side) 4. 5. High velocity fluid enters the stationary volute casing Volute casing converts the kinetic energy of fluid into pressure energy at the

discharge of the pump.

7. BASICS OF PFD (PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM):


7.1 Introduction:
In PFD the Entire process is represented sequentially by means of equipment symbols and lines indicating all equipment and flow directions. Symbols are based on codes and standards Consists of Pictorial interrelationship between various unit operations and process units. Material balance at all major steps. Energy balance in the form of specific heat, temperature and state of materials. A PFD can be computer generated from process simulators (see List of Chemical Process Simulators), CAD packages, or flow chart software using a library of chemical engineering symbols. Rules and symbols are available from standardization organizations such as DIN, ISO or ANSI. Often PFDs are produced on large sheets of paper. PFDs of many commercial processes can be found in the literature, specifically in encyclopaedias of chemical technology.

7.2 A typical PFD will consist of following things:


Process piping Major bypass and recirculation lines Major equipment symbols, names and identification numbers Flow directions Control loops that affect operation of the system Interconnection with other systems System ratings and operational values as minimum, normal and maximum flow, temperature and pressure Composition of fluids

7.2.1 Following things should be considered while making PFD: It is desirable to show equipments at their relative positions. E.g. Pumps at ground level Main process streams are always in bold. Streams are numbered within diamond. Equipments are numbered based on function or Area or both. Also show utilities and ETPs. While continuing on other sheet, must indicate Interconnection between various streams. Horizontal lines are dominant Number streams left to right when possible
33

7.3PFD will not include:


Pipe classes or piping line numbers Process control instrumentation (sensors and final elements) Minor bypass lines Isolation and shutoff valves Maintenance vents and drains Relief and safety valves Flanges

7.4 Standards used for making PFD:


ISO 10628: Flow Diagrams for Process Plants - General Rules ANSI Y32.11: Graphical Symbols for Process Flow Diagrams (withdrawn 2003) SAA AS 1109: Graphical Symbols for Process Flow Diagrams for the Food Industry.

7.5 Tracing of Primary Chemicals in PFD:


Reactants: start with the feed (LHS of PFD) and trace chemicals forward toward reactor. Products: start with the product (RHS of= PFD) and trace chemicals backward toward reactor.

Tactics applicable for tracing lines in PFD: (1) Any unit operation, or group of operations, that has a single or multiple input stream(s) and a single output stream is traced in a forward direction. If chemical A is present in any input stream, it must appear in the single output stream. (2) Any unit operation, or group of operations, that has a single input and single or multiple output stream(s) is traced in a backward direction. If chemical A is present in any output stream, it must appear in the single input stream. (3) Systems such as distillation columns are composed of multiple unit operations with a single input or output stream. It is sometimes necessary to consider such equipment combinations as blocks before implementing Tactics (1) and (2).

45

9. PUMP HYDRAULICS:
9.1 Definition:
9.1.1 Suction Head: If the water to be pumped has its surface ABOVE the center of the pump, then this relationship is called a "suction head". More technically, it is the positive vertical distance between the pump datum and the liquid surface in the suction well. 9.1.2 Static Head: "Static head is the distance that the water is to be lifted." Therefore, if the liquid level is above the datum, then it is a "positive value", as the water does not need to be pumped to that elevation. In the calculation: (Static Head, ft.) = (Discharge Head, ft.) - (Suction Head, ft.) "Once more for emphasis", the suction elevation is subtracted from the discharge head as the water is already at a positive, "not needed to be pumped elevation" ABOVE the pump. This resulting value is known as the static head. 9.1.3 Discharge Head: It is the vertical distance between the pump datum point and the liquid surface in the receiving tank. The pump datum is at the center line for horizontal pumps and at the entrance eye of the impeller for vertical pumps. 9.1.4 Friction Head: It is the head necessary to overcome the friction in the pipes, fittings, valves, elbows, etc. This information is gathered empirically, and then recorded in tables so that we can estimate these values according to the flow, the pipe size, the pipes material it is constructed out of, pipe age and any deposits, the type of valve, etc. This additional resistance to flow must be compensated for, in order to deliver the desired flow rate. Please refer to the illustrations for suction head and suction lift, where you will notice that the friction head in feet, is added to the static head which results in a new value called the Total Head or Total Dynamic Head.

9.2 Example:

In the calculation: (Static Head, ft) = (Discharge head, ft) - (Suction Elev. ft) Note that the suction elevation (lift) is below the pump datum. In this case the elevation is a negative number (minus) and therefore "a minus subtracting a minus is a positive value in the equation. To illustrate a suction liquid level 5 feet BELOW the pump datum, with a Discharge head of 35 ft. (40 ft.) = (35 ft.) - (-5 ft.)

9.3 Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH):


In a hydraulic circuit, net positive suction head (NPSH) is the difference between the actual pressure of a liquid in a pipeline and the liquid's vapor pressure at a given temperature.

NPSH is an important parameter to take into account when designing a circuit: whenever the liquid pressure drops below the vapor pressure, liquid boiling occurs, and the final effect will be cavitation: vapor bubbles may reduce or stop the liquid flow, as well as damage the system. Centrifugal pumps are particularly vulnerable especially when pumping heated solution near the vapor pressure, whereas positive displacement pumps are less affected by cavitation, as they are better able to pump two-phase flow (the mixture of gas and liquid), however, the resultant flow rate of the pump will be diminished because of the gas volumetrically displacing a disproportion of liquid. Careful design is required to pump high temperature liquids with a centrifugal pump when the liquid is near its boiling point. The violent collapse of the cavitation bubble creates a shock wave that can carve material from internal pump components (usually the leading edge of the impeller) and creates noise often described as "pumping gravel". Additionally, the inevitable increase in vibration can cause other mechanical faults in the pump and associated equipment. NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) = hss + hps - hfs - hvp ; hss = static suction head ; hps = atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the liquid ; hfs = head loss due to friction in the pipe ; hvp = vapour pressure ;

10. R&D PARAMETRS:


10.1 Definitions:

10.1.1 Biochemical oxygen demand (B.O.D): It is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms in a body of water to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period. The term also refers to a chemical procedure for determining this amount. This is not a precise quantitative test, although it is widely used as an indication of the organic quality of water.[1] The BOD value is most commonly expressed in milligrams of oxygen consumed per litre of sample during 5 days of incubation at 20 C and is often used as a robust surrogate of the degree of organic pollution of water. 10.1.2 Chemical oxygen demand (COD): COD test is commonly used to indirectly measure the amount of organic compounds in water. Most applications of COD determine the amount of organic pollutants found in surface water (e.g. lakes and rivers) or wastewater, making COD a useful measure of water quality. It is expressed in milligrams per litre (mg/L) also referred to as ppm (parts per million), which indicates the mass of oxygen consumed per litre of solution. 10.1.3 Total organic carbon (TOC): It is the amount of carbon bound in an organic compound and is often used as a non-specific indicator of water quality 10.1.4 Total suspended solids (TSS): A term that refers to the identical measurement: the dry-weight of particles trapped by a filter, typically of a specified pore size. 10.1.5 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): It is a measure of the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances contained in a liquid in: molecular, ionized or micro-granular (colloidal sol) suspended form.
