EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
1) AIR COMPRESSOR:
2) AIR RECEIVER:
4) REFRIGERATION UNIT :
Each tower has air inlet valves (V1 & V2) at bottom, product
valves (V7 & V8) at top and exhaust valves (V3 & V4) at the
bottom. Besides these, valve V6 at top is the equalization
valves which help both the towers to equalize and attain same
pressure during changeover of the towers.
Nitrogen from PSA unit will have varying purity during the
Cycle time. This Nitrogen surge vessel gives Nitrogen at
constant Pressure with constant outlet purity.
9) OXYGEN ANALYZER:
plant, the 2-way vent valve port will open automatically, and
the gas will be vented to atmosphere
*********
CHAPTER – V
A) U NORMAL START-UP : U
8. Switch ‘ON’ vent valve close switch. Vent valve will close
automatically, when oxygen PPM in Nitrogen gas comes below
the set point in oxygen analyzer.
9. Now Nitrogen gas will start going to Storage Tank.

2) Output Q 0.5 and Q 0.6 (R6 & R7) for PSA Valve V7 & V8 will be
opened after 5 Minutes as per Sequence Chart MVS-20627-09 -
R00, if following inputs are available:
a) I 0.0 – (d1) Air Receiver Pressure ‘Low’.
b) I 0.1 – (d2) Air Receiver Moisture Level ‘High’.
c) I 0.2 – (d3) Nitrogen Storage Tank Pressure ‘High’.
3) Output Q 0.7 (R8) for Air Inlet and Inst Air Valve (V9 & V 10)
shall be available after 1 Minutes, if following inputs are
available:
a) I 0.0 – (d1) Air Receiver Pressure ‘Low’.
b) I 0.1 – (d2) Air Receiver Moisture Level ‘High’.
c) I 0.2 – (d3) Nitrogen Storage Tank Pressure ‘High’.
4) Output Q 1.0 (R9) for Surge Vessel Outlet Valve (V11) shall be
available after 5 Minutes, if following inputs are available:
a) I 0.0 – (d1) Air Receiver Pressure ‘Low’.
b) I 0.1 – (d2) Air Receiver Moisture Level ‘High’.
c) I 0.2 – (d3) Nitrogen Storage Tank Pressure ‘High’.
Note:
1. All timers should be Retentive for Input and Power Fails.
2. PLC will be communicated with Customer DCS through Modbus
(RS 485).
3. I/O Status of PLC will be sent to DCS.
4. Modbus Mapping should be provided in Excel format to us
after Testing of PLC Program.

CHAPTER-VII
After these 3-filters the Air becomes almost oil free and is
as good as air coming from a Non-lubricated compressor.
This quality air gives long life of Molecular sieves.

2. Check Auto drain trap of air receiver are working well and
There is no air leakage or water carry over. After every 3-4
Hours Manual drain valve should be opened to drain out left
Over Moisture.
3. Check and ensure that all valves of PSA unit are opening
/closing properly and pressure in both towers goes up to 8.0
Kg/cm2g.
Half yearly.

Reasons :
a) Solenoid valve coil not working : Rectify / replace
it.
b) Solenoid valve jammed : Clean it
c) PLC signal not o.k. : Check.
Reasons :
Reasons :
a) Product Valve in the N2 gas line from the PSA tower outlet
to N2 Surge vessel not opening: check & rectify.
Reasons :
a) Leakage from some flange in the N2 unit: Check all
flanges and tighten.
Reasons :
a) PSA tower pressure not reaching 8.0 kg/cm2g cycle : check it.
