1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides the narrative description of the DCS and SIS interlocks, which protect
the INEOS Technologies licensed process.
The DCS interlocks are noted I-xxxx-O and SIS I-xxxx-S and are shown on the PID drawings
with a diamond symbol as per:
I I
xxxx xxxx
S O
SIS interlocks DCS interlocks
xxxx is the serial number.
The implementation of interlocks in the DCS and the SIS must follow the requirements
described in the Instrument and Process Control Philosophy chapters “DCS hardware
implementation”, “SIS hardware implementation” and ”Interlock functionality”.
This document (Process Interlock Description) is a simplified description of the way that each
piece of logic should work. As such, all of the details are not explicitly described.
To improve reading of the document, the instrument and equipment tags do not include the
prefix 3200.
OWNER REFERENCE

1.1 MISCELLANEOUS
 The trip settings are not listed in this document. Values are gathered in the instrument
datasheets or instrument lists.
 Trip on control valves: when an interlock is activated and trips a control valve, 2 types
of trip are required:
 For a DCS interlock trip, the action on the valve is made via the DCS analogue output
to the valve positioner. The relevant action is noted FMC or FMO meaning that the
relevant controller is forced into manual mode and the output is forced to close or open
position. It will be noted ―FMC FIC-xxxxxx‖ or ―FMO FIC-xxxxxx‖ in the interlock
description.
 For a SIS interlock trip, the action on the valve is made via a solenoid valve installed on
the control valve actuator and via the DCS analogue output to the valve positioner.
The relevant actions are noted ―Close FV-xxxxxx (SIS)‖ or ―Open FV-xxxxxx (SIS)‖ in
the interlock description.
 When a DCS or a SIS interlock trips an on/off valve, if there is a corresponding control
valve, the DCS should force the control valve to manual and either open or close the
control valve, as appropriate. This will ensure that the control valve and controller are
in the correct state when the on/off valve is reset.

DEGASSING VARIABLE TRIP SETTINGS
The low and high stripping gas flow settings for the degassers and purge column are variable depending on
the groups of product. The different groups of product are identified by the reactor conditions which may
include catalyst, comonomer and temperature.
All these interlocks are implemented within the SIS system.
These conditions are then used to determine the trip settings for various interlocks.
I-4041-S: Poor degassing: Reactor Low Temperature
I-4042-S: Stop catalyst feeders: degassing capacity limit
I-6330-S: Poor degassing in Degasser: high stripping gas flow
I-6340-S: Poor degassing in Degasser: low stripping gas flow
I-6830-S: Poor degassing in C8 Degasser: high stripping gas flow
I-6840-S: Poor degassing in C8 Degasser: low stripping gas flow
I-6442-S: Poor degassing in purge column: low stripping gas flow
I-6445-S: Poor degassing in purge column: high stripping flow or high pressure
Reactor condition detection to identify the different groups of product

 The reactor temperature T is determined from the Mo3 reading of TZT-40044A/B/C
 The comonomer in use is determined from the comonomer feed valve positions.
The comonomer in use can then be determined by the following logic. This code may be common to all the
interlocks with variable trips.
IF XZV- 20550 (C4) not closed THEN comonomer = C4
If more than one comonomer valve is not closed OR fault on any valve THEN comonomer = error
An alarm in DCS warns the operator if there is an inconsistency between the reactor condition
detection and the grade selected by the operator on the GROWL.
 The catalyst type is determined from the catalyst injection valves.
The catalyst line in use can then be determined by the following logic. This code may be common to all the
interlocks with variable trips.
If XZV-30010 or XZV-30110 not closed then catalyst = Zg
If XZV-30210 or XZV-30310 or XZV-30410 not closed and then catalyst = Mt
If (tone of the Zg valve is open (not closed) at the same time of one the Mt valve) OR fault on any
valve THEN catalyst = error
Each valve position should be based on three signals: SIS command status to the valve, closed limit switch
and open limit switch, in order to achieve the necessary interlock integrity. All three signals should be
consistent before the position of the valve is determined; if they are not consistent then the valve is faulty.
Group identification
OWNER REFERENCE

The group numbers are calculated from the reactor conditions

 If any reactor condition is in error or the combination does not match a group, then the group
should keep its last value.
 To avoid spurious changes the group numbers are only changed if the inputs have changed for
more than 30 minutes. The timer is held if there is no reaction detected.

number and
send an alarm
to DCS
Note 1: The timer is held if there is no reaction detected by DT<DT_T (refer below for description of DT
and DT_T)
T is the reactor temperature as defined above
The group number is used to determine the trip matrix outputs (see below)
The SIS sends the group number to the DCS. This information is compared with group number defined in
GROWL for each grade. An alarm in DCS will be issued in case of discrepancy. This alarm may happen at
the start-up of the transition when operator will change of grade setting via the GROWL but has not yet
fulfilled the conditions to determine the group number. In steady state the group in SIS and DCS are
normally identical.
Stripping gas flow trip settings

The transition between different trip settings is performed with these following rules:
 Prior to transition the DCS operator sets the set point for the degassing flow controller in the DCS
to a ―transition‖ value independently of the changes in trip settings (refer to operating manual).
 The SIS detects the transition and change the group number
 During transition the stripping gas flow trip window is reduced to the overlap of the trip windows
before and after the transition by changing either the high or low trip value as appropriate.
 A timer is used to determine the length of the transition. This time is different for the degasser and
the purge column
 During transitions, the transition timer is held when the reaction is stopped (detected by Mo3 TZT-
40044A/B/C minus Mo3 TZT-40064A/B/C is < 5°C)
 If during the transition the matrix inputs change again, the transition is extended.
OWNER REFERENCE

 When the transition is completed the high or low trip value as appropriate is changed to increase to
the operating trip window for the new reactor conditions.
 After transition the DCS operator sets the set point for the degassing flow controller in the DCS to
the required value independently of the changes in trip settings (refer to operating manual).

Method for determining trip settings.

The matrix output is used in the following logics to determine the trip settings. Each matrix’s logic is
managed by its own code with relevant parameters.
 For high and low degassing flow trips:

The code below is applicable to degasser, degasser C8 and purge column matrix

If ML≠TL or MH≠TH Then {Matrix outputs change indicating transition start}
Set FZALL nd F A H t transition values.}
TL = Max( TL, ML) {Transition TL is calculated as the maximum of FZALL’s}
TH = Min (TH, MH) Transition TH is calculated as the minimum of FZAHH’s}
If TL > TH Then set DCS alarm message ―POWDER CANNOT BE WITHDRAWN

FROM DEGASSER DURING THIS GRADE TRANSITION‖.
MLo = ML {Record matrix output in order to detect if reactor conditions

MHo =MH change during transition}
Reset and Start timer t {Start timer for indicating when transition is completed}

Transition:
If DT < DT_T Then hold timer t {Hold timer if reaction stops}
If DT ≥ DT_T Then restart timer t {Restart timer if reaction restarts}
if timer t> R Then TL = ML {If timer complete change FZALL and FZAHH trip settings to
TH = MH matrix values}
Goto Steady
If MLo≠ML or MHo≠MH Then {If matrix outputs change during transition, indicating a
Reset and restart timer t change in reactor conditions, then extend transition period
and change transition values}
TL = Max( TL, ML)
TH = Min (TH, MH)
If TL > TH Then set DCS alarm message ―POWDER CANNOT BE WITHDRAWN
