6 CIRCUIT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
6.1 Seal gas system control & safeguarding
The dry gas seal system, relevant to the tandem type, is composed by 3 different parts: the 1st one has the scope to
inject filtered buffer gas to the seals, the 2nd one is to monitor the gas leakage and the proper working of the seals,
the 3rd one has the scope to inject a purge gas for a safe and certain separation between the seals area and the lube
oil area.
6.2 Filtered primary seal gas (seal gas supply)

Seal gas is filtered by a special compact design double filter, one operating and one spare (F-151A, F-151B). Filters
condition is monitored by a differential pressure transmitter (PDIT-1002) which provides indication alarm PDAH
1002; this guarantees that gas seals work with filtered gas only.
A control valve FCV-1001 provides a constant regulated flow using as control signal the output of the minimum
selector of two flow controllers PDIC 1101A, PDIC 1101B realized with two pressure differential transmitter (PDIT-
1101A, PDIT-1101B) installed on the primary seal inlet and used to calculate the seal gas volumetric flow.
Both volumetric flow measurements are more accurate as they are compensated in pressure by PIT-1108. This
action is foreseen due to process variations or due to potential density variations of the fluid measured. In case of low
or high volumetric flow condition, relevant alarms (PDAL/H-1101A – PDAL/H-1101B) are provided.
A seal gas heater (EH1A-M) is used to increase the buffer gas temperature to avoid possible condensation in the
primary seals due to gas lamination.
6.3 Tertiary seal Instrument Air injection <2>
No nitrogen supply has been foreseen to seal gas system as separation gas. For separation gas during normal
operation, instrument air is utilized. Nitrogen will be only supplied from nitrogen bottle (supplied by customer) in the
event of no instrument air supply (instrument air low pressure detected by PIT-1119) when the compressor/gas
turbine is coasting down during compressor trip event. <2>
Instrument Air supply from plant is connected by piping to the seal gas panel, where it is filtered by a special compact
design dual filter (F-1116A, F-1116B). Filter condition is monitored by a differential pressure transmitter (PDIT-
1117), which provides indication alarm PDAH-1117. <2>
Downstream the filters, a self-regulating pressure control valve (PCV-1118) control the pressure on header, keeping
it at a constant value (4 Barg) <2>.
The pressure transmitter PIT-1119 installed on the header provides a trip for low-low pressure in order to avoid an oil
migration from journal oil bearings to seals, while the pressure transmitter PIT 1125 provide an alarm of high
pressure (PAH 1125) and an alarm of low pressure (PAL 1125) that inhibits the lube oil pumps start-up, during the
machine preparation to start, in case of alarm.
The injection pressure is maintained constant on each side by two flow orifices (FE 131A/B, FE 132A/B).
In the event of plant ESD where there is no instrument air supply for separation gas, back-up separation gas from
nitrogen bottle is provided. It is automatically activated by opening the isolation valve (actuated XV( initiated by the
following initiator: <2>
1. Receive compressor trip signal (soft link from PMCS) <2>

2. Receive low low pressure signal from PIT – 1119 (soft link from PMCS) <2>
Since the Nitrogen Supply is limited and only intended for compressor trip event (and at the same time, there is no
instrument air supply), both initiators are required to be activated to open the XV from Nitrogen bottle. <2>
If only one initiator activated, XV from Nitrogen bottle will not be opened.

5841478-79-80 4 A
BHGE. 7 of 35
6.4 Seals leakage monitoring
The gas leakages passing through the primary seals are connected by piping to the seal gas panel, where an orifice on
each side (FO 1108A, FO 1108B) is designed to maintain a differential pressure with normal leakage and under
normal operating conditions. This differential pressure across the orifices is needed to have a certain flow passing
through the secondary seals to properly cool the secondary seal rings. <2>
In case of low volumetric flow condition, relevant alarms are provided (PAL1112A/B). In case of first ring damage or
accidental opening, a trip with vent signal is activated by high-high pressure alarm (PSHH-1110, PSHH-1111) across
the orifice. A trip with vent is mandatory.
An indication of the primary vent flow is available on HMI to compressor primary vent (PDIT – 112A/B, PDIT – 114
A/B). <2>
The monitoring of the secondary seals good condition is carried out with the same transmitters on the primary vent
lines. If a low alarm is generated using the transmitter signals, it means that the relevant secondary seal leakage is
increased. In case of secondary seal damage, a shutdown signal with compressor vent is activated by low-low
pressure alarm (PSLL-1110, PSLL-1111). The secondary vent lines are simply connected to an atmospheric vent on
safe location, directly from the compressor connections.
6.5 Compressor casing leakage monitoring

Casing leakage is monitored with alarms PAH 1200A, PAH 1200B.

7 SEAL GAS HEATER
The purpose of the seal gas heater is to maintain the seal gas to compressor at a specified temperature set-point as
well as the skin metal temperature at a minimum value.
The heating in the seal gas application is obtained with one electric element inside the cast aluminum block.
Before starting the compressor, the operator must manually switch on the heater in order to allow a proper heating of
the metal detected by TE-1002.
7.1 Heater element protection logic

The heater is provided with three thermo-elements (Pt100 3 wires) wired to UCP, two for the heater cut-
out (TE-1001A & TE-1001B) and one for the heater aluminum temperature control (TE-1002)
The two safety thermo-elements are in the upper part of the heater that is in contact with the atmosphere.
The other is located inside the cast aluminum near to its electric bench.
The heater elements protection cut-out logic is activated in case of the following conditions occurs.
• TE-1001A or TE-1001B heater cut off (mean signal used on the compressor panel logic)
When the above protection is detected, an alarm is displayed on HMI and the heater element is switched
off.
To enabled again the heater operation, all the following conditions need to be satisfied:
• TE-1001A & TE-1001B Heater cut-off not active

• TE-1002 Heater metal temperature not high
• Heater reset push button manually activated by operator on UCP HMI <2>
The heater aluminum temperature control is performed by TE-1002
7.2 Heater alarm provision on HMI

An alarm is generated on the HMI for the following conditions:
• TAL-1003 “Low seal gas temperature”. This signal is used also as compressor permissive to
pressurize compressor
• TAHH-1001 “Heater cut off temperature activated”. Heater is automatically switched off for this
alarm. A manual reset on HMI is required
7.3 Heater switching on/off

Heater must be manually started from the operator through the relative commands provided on the HMI if
the following conditions are verified:
• TAHH-1001 Heater cut off not activated

• XS 131/A Heater MCC available <1>
Once enabled the heater element follows the automatic closed loop control on seal gas temperature and
on metal temperature.
When compressor is stopped and fully depressurized, the heater can be switched off only manually through
HMI commands.

7.4 Heater temperature control
Closed loop temperature control
The heater control function is performed via cascade control scheme where the outer loop (slow) regulates
the seal gas temperature detected by TE-1103 providing a set point to the inner loop (fast) that regulates
the skin metal temperature detected by TE-1002 with an ON/OFF time output to the heater. The ON/OFF
time signal module the activation/deactivation of the heating element.
Seal gas temperature control (outer loop)

The seal gas temperature control is performed by a PI loop that maintains the temperature TE-1103 at a
given set-point during all compressor operating phases. The controller is enables as soon as the heater
sequence is enabled, and it is kept operating until the heater sequence is enabled.
Temperature controller output is limited within the range defined in the P&I as upper set-point and lower
set-point. TIC-1003 output is limited in order not to exceed the range of TIC-1002.
7.5 Skin metal temperature control (inner loop)

The skin metal temperature control is performed by a PI loop where the set-point is given from the output
of the outer loop.
The output of this controller drives the interval of time where the main heater elements are switched on
and off, over a defined cycle time of 15 minutes.
The controller is provided with an anti-overshoot (TSH 1002/1) to reduce the risk of spurious trip. The anti-
overshoot is enabled when the skin metal temperature is over the temperature set point and reset the
cycle time.
The new cycle time is initiated when the skin metal temperature is lower than TSH 1002/1

• XS 131RS Seal Gas Heater start/stop (1=start, 0=stop)
Note: BHGE shall provide a free voltage output from a repeating relay for customer seal gas heater MCC
(contact open=switch off heater, contact closed=switch on heater). Main power contactor must be
provided in customer MCC panel <1>
8 EXTERNAL SEAL GAS VALVE

The seal gas system is equipped with an ON-OFF valve, which controls the seal gas flow from the external source (in
Customer scope), in case the compressor auto-buffering system is not providing seal gas to the cartridge.
1st start-up or after compressor full depressurization
External buffer gas valve XV-1035 is manually open from CCP HMI/DCS (o PMCS), through the solenoid valve XY-
1035 with the consent of TSH 1002/2 seal gas temperature <2>.
When opening command is done, an automatic 4-20mA ramp up (5 sec) starts to close the FCV-1001 valve to avoid
flow shock when external seal gas valve opens.
External buffer gas valve XV-1035 is automatically open with the consent of control valve FCV-1001 in closed
position (5% of the signal coming from the valve position transmitter ZT-1001).
With the consent of external buffer gas valve open (signal taken from the limit switch ZSH 1035) starts an automatic
20 to 4 mA ramp-down to reopen the FCV-1001 valve. When the signal of the ramp down exceeds the automatic
signal of FY-1001 valve controller, the FCV-1001 valve is automatically controlled by the FY-1001 signal.
After compressor start
The external buffer gas valve XV-1035 is automatically closed as soon as the antisurge system is enabled <1>.
After a trip (pressurized or depressurized) or normal stop
The external buffer gas valve XV-1035 is automatically opened by the logic when a pressurized/depressurized trip or
normal stop is detected.
Valve is automatically closed with the consent of compressor stopped and fully depressurized (PT-6263 < 0.2 barg)
PROCESS GAS PRESSURE - 2nd STAGE DISCHARGE (TRAIN 1), otherwise remains open ready for the next compressor
start up. <2>

Two types of compressor start-ups, pressurized and de-pressurized, are provided.

Depressurized start-up (consequent to a depressurized trip or anyway after any depressurization)
requires a purge of compressor and piping to remove any possible air residuals and it is performed by
allowing process gas to flow through the unit while the pressurization valve on the suction line and the
flare valves are opened. Required time to purge unit lines and equipment is evaluated considering
changing gas volume at least three times.
The condition of "Unit Depressurized" or “Unit pressurized” is established by checking the compressor
unit discharge pressure PAL-6263 if below or above selected set point. <2>
Each valve is equipped with limit switches to detect fully open and fully closed position and valve position
confirmation is required to go to next logic step activation.
A manual command to start valve sequence is provided on the HMI video page, after the logic is
performed in fully automatic mode.
Each process valves (except antisurge) are provided with OPEN/CLOSE commands on UCP HMI for
maintenance purpose only enabled if all the following conditions are satisfied:

• Discrepancy alarm (if valve position is not open or close confirmed by limit switch after a preset
value of delay from valve command issued)
• Mismatch alarm (in case of mismatch valve position, valve not open or not closed)
The sequence is freeze if the above alarms are generated and needs operator activation to check
valves status. If no action is taken and the valves sequence remain freeze or if it is not successfully
completed within a pre-set time the sequence is aborted for “Process valves sequence failure” trip
and needs to be started again.
Alarms during running conditions

• An alarm occurs if blowdown valves open during compressor running.
• An alarm occurs if isolation suction or discharge valve close during compressor running. In addition,
compressor is unloaded (both antisurge valves open).
Compressor control is enabled anew after alarm is reset.
Trips
A trip signal of “Process valves sequence failure” is generated from the logic if valves sequence is
not completed within a pre-set time (valve sequence check timer). In this case process valves
sequence is aborted and needs to be restarted.

12 COMPRESSOR CORE CONTROLLERS
ECT processor card and ECT TurboPAC application ("Card in Slot” type) are installed on A&B CPU rack.
The plant includes 3 compressor trains (3 x 33% running). Each compressor has its dedicated PLC and associated
control cabinet.
Each train is configured as follows:
• 1 (one) Siemens gas turbine

• 1 (one) gearbox
• 1 (one) 2BCL308A Centrifugal Compressor type with two compression stages
• 1 (one) UCP <1> Compressor Control Panel
• 1 (one) Gas Turbine Control Panel
Since the compressors operate in parallel, a common Master Controller is required to dictate the required loading
for the parallel compressor. ECT refers to this as NetPAC Master Load-sharing Application.
The NetPAC Master Load-sharing Application (based on suction and discharge trains header pressure) is installed in
two of the compressor control PLC’s “NetPAC MAIN / NetPAC BACKUP” to provide a back-up feature should one
cabinet fail or be taken out of service.
One NetPAC is designed NetPAC MAIN Controller and one is designed NetPAC BACKUP Controller. NetPAC MAIN
and NetPAC BACKUP are continually communicating with each other and with the LoadPAC Load-sharing
Controllers. As long as NetPAC MAIN is healthy and power up, the LoadPAC controllers receive their signals from the
NetPAC MAIN Controller. If NetPAC MAIN fails or loses power, then the NetPAC BACKUP will take over and the
LoadPAC Load-sharing controllers receive now their signals from the NetPAC BACKUP Controller.
If two panels fail at the same time, NetPAC Load-sharing is no more required, as only one train is in operation. This
the reason why is not installed also on the third panel.
The trains have antisurge instrumentation independent for each train and compressor stage.
ECT processor card and applications are used for Master, Load Sharing and Antisurge control as follow:
➢ Simplex ECT SurgePAC Compressor surge control (Surge Adaptor, Surge Preventer, Surge Stopper, 2 for each
compressor)
➢ Simplex ECT LoadPAC Load sharing control
➢ Simplex ECT NetPAC Master control with POC function
➢ Simplex 1756-L72 ControlLogix processor
Load sharing control operate the units individually, partial units or all of them in parallel, with automatic or manual
modes. When operated in parallel, load sharing control provide appropriate distribution of loads between units, so
that they operate proportionally equidistant from their respective limits.
ECT video pages including:
➢ Dynamic compressor maps

➢ Controllers faceplates
➢ Control synoptic overview
➢ Alarms and event pages (alarms shall be configured for minimum the following: pre-surge alarm, surge alarm,
surge count alarm, controllers’ fault, common transmitters fault, communication failure alarm, switching of
redundant controller)
➢ Historical archiving
are integrated inside CCP HMI with all other control functions of compressor.

16 MACHINE MONITORING SYSTEM
Machine monitoring system is performed with Bently Nevada monitors serie 3500.
Bently Nevada rack is equipped with:
➢ Redundant power supply unit at 24Vdc

➢ TDI (Transient Data Interface) card
➢ Key phasor module to provide precise timing measurement
➢ Proximity/seismic monitors for gear and compressor radial vibration and axial displacement
➢ Temperature monitors for gear and compressor bearing temperature
➢ Serial communication card Ethernet/RS 485 for interfacing with CCP HMI.
Radial vibration & axial displacement probes of compressor and gear with interfacing proximitors are used to
perform indications, alarms and shutdowns.
Compressor and gear temperature elements are connected to B.N. monitor system to perform indications and
alarms.
Suitable single channel galvanic barriers (MTL manufacturer) are provided inside CCP to connect field sensor to
monitor inputs.
The Bently Nevada system is capable to transmit to PLC the following signals:
• Data acquisition and alarm signals via serial link (Ethernet)

• Common alarm, common trips and rack failure signals via hardwired.
In case of any fault of BN system, the monitor sends “B.N. racks fault” hardware signal to the logic to perform alarm
function
The below
Trip signals are based according the following voting logic:
• 2oo2 for gear axial displacement

• 2oo3 for compressor axial displacement
• 1oo2 for gear and compressor radial vibration
• 1oo2 for compressor thrust bearing (no active side) temperature
• 2oo3 for compressor thrust bearing (active side) temperature

17 MAINTENANCE OVERRIDE SWITCHES (M.O.S.)
By dedicated operator commands “MOS enable” (protected by password) and “MOS disable” is possible, under
operator responsibility, override all the trips except the following:
• Emergency
• Radial vibration
Only one trip for time can be override so the activation of a manual override of a trip automatically inhibit the
possibility of another override at the same time.
The override activated with the command “MOS enable” is removed manually by the operator with the command
“MOS disable” or automatically from the logic after a delay time (set as standard at 8 hours)
MOS only overrides the shutdown circuit, while the trip indication on UCP HMI remains active.
An alarm is provided in UCP HMI for indication of any “Maintenance Override Switch activated” in addition to the
indication of “MOS active elapsed time” countdown
18 SAFETY DEVICE SYSTEM

Safety critical machinery shutdowns (signals identified as a risk for human safety) such as ESD signals, ESD push
buttons, compressor & gear vibrations are also connected via redundant hardwired series to a safety device.
The consequence of the safety device activation is the compressor shut down signal activation.
