Pre-requisites before starting the process:

1. Enter the set quantity of EO/PO to be charged and press start button to start the charging. Actual
charged quantity will be displayed on the screen.

2. Enter the EO/PO setting s in the panel provided on the SCADA screen. Based on these set points
interlocks will be generated on the EO/PO feed inlet on-off valve.

a) High Temp Cut-off /High pressure Cut-off: If reactor pressure and temperature controllers are not
working well which makes the reactor operating pressure or temperature exceeds the maximum
operating limits then EO/PO feed inlet
b) Max Flow: This set point will restrict the EO/PO feed flow set point generated by pressure controller.
c) Diff Pressure cut-off: This is safety interlock generated by difference between pressure of storage tank
and reactor pressure.(Applicable for loop reactor R-101)
 3. Pressure Controller : Reactor Pressure control is cascaded with Reactor EO/PO feed rate controller. If
the reactor pressure increases beyond the Set Point then the set point of the feed controller
shall be reduced and vice versa.
 Open the faceplate of pressure controller and enter the set point of pressure which is to be
maintained during the EO/PO flow or the process. Keep Pressure controller in auto mode.
 Open the setting tab of controller and keep PID action in reverse mode
Pressure controller will be in interlock if charging is topped.

4. EO/PO Feed Controller : Put flow controller PID in Auto mode and keep it in Program mode as
shown in . Keep PID action in reverse mode by opening the settings tab on the faceplate.

Note: The reactor pressure Set Point shall be decided based on the nature of feed stock and its known optimum
reaction conditions derived from the similar previous operating plant data/experience gained by field observations of
the reactor performance. This is to be decided by plant operator ( From M/s. Mallak)

5. Temperature Control: Turn on The cooling mode by pressing Cool button provided on
SCADA screen (If Cool mode is not ON then PID controllers will be in interlock). Enter the cooling set
points by opening the PID controller faceplate of respective coils and put controller in Auto mode.
Keep PID action in direct mode (Refer following figure)

 Reactor temperature will be controlled in split control mode. Operator has to enter three different
temperature set points for three different temperature controllers as mentioned below.

SP of internal coil 2 > SP of internal coil 1 > SP of limpet coil

 If reactor temperature increases beyond cooling set point then control valve will start opening due to PID
action. Limpet control valve(TCVR1022) will open first ,if temperature is not achieved then control valve of
Internal coil-I (TCVR1023) will start opening and if still the temperature is not achieved then control valve of
Internal coil-II (TCVR1021) will start opening.

If reactor temperature decreases below the set point then control valve of internal coil II (TCVR1021) will
first get closed. If it still reduces then control valve of internal coil I (TCVR1023) will get closed. If it continues
to reduce then control valve of Limpet (TCVR1022) will get closed.

 Cooling water supply control valve opening will trigger the cooling water return on-off valve of respective
coil. i.e. Cooling water return valve of coil will be opened with its cooling water supply valve.
 When cooling set point of controller is less than the reactor temperature respective PID controller will be in
interlock.

Note: The basic reactor optimum operating temperature should be decided based on the similar previous
operating plant data or derived based on the field observations of the reactor performance. This is to be
decided by plant operator (From M/s. Mallak)

 When control valves in cooling water inlet lines are closed due to low reactor temperature then, the
respective cooling water return vent valves will be opened and cooling water return valves will be closed.

Note: In order to prevent hammering, the vent line downstream of the vent valve shall be routed to
atmosphere at ground level.
