TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
1.0 GENERAL
In this Document the following words and expressions shall have the meaning hereby assigned to them except where the context otherwise requires: Engineer: The Owner or any person or organization employed or engaged at any time by the Owner and authorized by the Owner, in writing, from time to time to act on behalf of the Owner in the execution of the items covered by this Document, in whole or in any part, for any or all purposes provided in this Technical Specification. Owner: Norurl hf (Nordic Aluminum Corporation Ltd.), an independent legal entity owned by Century Aluminum. This Specification covers the general requirements for instrumentation and control of type and manufacture. The objective shall be to standardise all measurement and control equipment throughout the plant in order to rationalise operation, maintenance and spares holding. Reference shall be made to the Preferred Vendors list (see Appendix 1). Equipment to be supplied and not covered or which do not conform to this list due to the manufacturers own standards shall be submitted for approval. In addition to the requirements of this specification all equipment offered to meet the requirements of instrumentation and control shall also comply where appropriate with other general technical requirements of associated specifications as defined in Section 6.0 of this specification. A consistent control and instrumentation philosophy shall apply throughout the plant and shall be implemented in terms of a range of equipment exhibiting a minimum diversity Generally equipment shall be supplied from one composite range of measurement and control equipment as marketed by a reputable manufacturer of international standing. The equipment shall be of modern compact design incorporating the latest developments in proven technology. Data Acquisition/Logging facilities with recording and indicating instruments shall be provided for those parameters whose trends are considered necessary for product quality, optimum plant operation and plant performance records. Integrating or totalising facilities shall be provided for selected flow measurements especially those related to plant performance and output.

STANDARD TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 00/07/TS001

All instrument control panels shall be provided with internal lights and utility sockets at 230 VAC 50 Hz. Analogue signals shall be standardised at 4-20 mA Any other analogue signal levels proposed shall be submitted for approval. Direct current plant status and alarm signals shall be standardised on a d.c. voltage level between 22 to 50 volts. Pneumatic transmission and control signals where offered, shall be of the 0.2 - 1 Bar. Measurement and control instrumentation shall have high electro- magnetic and radio frequency interference immunity and shall not be affected by portable radio transmitters operated in the vicinity of the equipment. Any limitations shall be stated by the Supplier. All instruments whether for local indication or remote transmission shall be of good quality and shall have an accuracy and repeatability appropriate to their duty. The supplier shall state the accuracy and repeatability of each instrument offered which shall be certified, when supplied, by means of supporting documentation. All electronic devices shall be protected against transient voltage levels that would otherwise damage the device. The ranges of all instruments shall be arranged, where practicable, so that normal working indication is at approximately 75% of full-scale deflection. Measurement and control instruments shall be matched to the main plant equipment ratings in all aspects. Instrument ranges, installation codes of practice and precautionary measures for safety of the Plant and the operating and maintaining personnel shall be observed. All instruments and devices to which electrical connections are made shall have approved type of terminations, connections and cable entries and cable glanding where applicable. Each instrument shall be properly labelled, and shall be identified by appropriate tag numbers; permanent non- perishable nameplates attached to each instrument shall be used for this purpose. The instrument duty or nameplate shall be mounted on the panel front and rear beneath the instrument. A similar label shall be fitted beneath each of the instrument modules

HAZARDOUS AREAS
All equipment for use in hazardous areas shall meet the requirements of EN60079 or equivalent standard. Either the use of I.S. barriers or explosion proof construction will be acceptable, however all equipment for use in these areas shall have the necessary certification by the appropriate certifying body and will comply fully with all the conditions of said body.

STANDARD TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 00/07/TS001

Where a common reducing regulator and filtering assembly is fitted, it shall be duplicated and the system provided with block valves to enable one unit to be on standby service. Safety relief and pressure indicator shall be provided on the reduced air side of the system. Air receivers shall have a capacity such that the maximum safety rundown period for the plant shall be carried out at the full-required pressure of the instrument and actuator system. Compressors provided for instrument air supply shall be of the dry cylinder type, i.e. which use no oil on the parts exposed to the compressed air. The installation of leads, pneumatic, electrical, shall be so as to minimise the possibility of damage by fire, mechanical shock and continuous vibration.
