INTENT OF THIS DOCUMENT This document describes the control system for iron ore pelletizing facility, based on the Dravo Traveling Grate Process, located at the site of Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) in Barbil, Odisha, India. This plant is designated as JSPL Pellet Plant 2 and is located adjacent to the existing JSPL Pellet Plant 1. Specific vendor document for equipment/package is used as a basis to provide detailed philosophy. The pellet plant is conceived as a versatile operation capable of producing a variety of product types, as predicated by the ore supply and/or the consumer demand. Thus, from time to time, campaigns may be run to produce varieties ranging from acid pellets to fluxed pellets. The pellet plant conveyors and hardware will be mechanically designed to handle 4,500,000 direct reduction grade (DR-grade) ore pellets per year in 330 days of operation (7,920 scheduled hours per year), taking into account all design safety factors. Actual indurating capacity is dependent upon the specific ore being utilized, the type of pellets being produced, and quality specifications of the consumer. Total plant availability is dependent upon the specific operating and maintenance practice employed at the site. JSPL’s target production is 4,000,000 tonnes per annum of fired pellets.

IRON ORE RECEIVING & WET GRINDING SECTION- AREA 1 3.1 Iron Ore Receiving (P&ID: R-01-1001) Blended Iron ore is delivered by owner’s blended ore conveyor directly onto the Ore Concentrate Conveyor OF-11 (B43001D). OF-11 discharges blended ore on conveyor OF-12 (B43001C). OF12 delivers ore to OF-13 (B43001B) and finally OF-13 delivers on shuttle conveyor OF-14 (B43001A), which in turn feeds to Ball mill feed bins (B43510-1&2). Conveyor OF-11, 12, 13 and OF-14 are equipped with standard conveyor control packages for this project. Each conveyor is equipped with adequate safety switches. The receiving rates for wet iron ore to the ball mill feed bins at 8% H2O (by weight) are: • •

Each Ball mill feed bin has a four (4) hour design storage capacity. Individual start-up of blended ore conveyors OF-11, 12 &13 and shuttle conveyor OF-14 will depend on healthy signal from the safety switches placed on the conveyors. Group start up will depend on the level signal from level transmitters placed over bins. Low (20%) signal from bin level transmitters will start shuttle conveyor OF-14 first followed by blended ore conveyors OF-13, OF-12 & OF-11 sequentially, provided there is healthy signal from safety switches of these conveyors. The unidirectional Ore Concentrate shuttle conveyor OF-14 feeds the Ball Mill Feed Bin–2 (B435102) when positioned under the discharge of blended ore conveyor (OF-13). The shuttle car is fitted

with a chute at the back end. When Bin-2 is full (‘High’ alarm), OF-14 moves ahead and the chute fitted with the shuttle car comes in line with the discharge chute of OF-13 and Bin-1 starts getting filled up. The filling of each bin will be controlled by the level transmitter ‘High’ & ‘Low’ Set points. The position for the shuttle car filling BIN-01 directly will be determined by a limit switch installed corresponding to desired position which will stop the shuttle car motor. On receipt of ‘H’ signal (70%) from Bin-01 the shuttle car starts traveling to fill Bin-02. After receipt of ‘H’ signal from any of the bins if the shuttle car fails to move to the other bin due to any reason within 2 minutes the shuttle conveyor will stop and subsequently all upstream conveyors will stop sequentially. ‘H-H’ alarm (90%) from both bin level transmitters and/or unhealthy signal from any conveyor safety switch will stop up-stream conveyors in a sequential manner. There are 2 weigh belt feeders WF-1 and WF-2 (B55201-1, 2) (Loop No: WIC-01B0107 & WIC01B0117, P&ID: R-01-1001) located under Ball Mill Feed Bins-1 & 2 respectively. The weigh belt feeders feed blended ore to respective ball mill feed conveyors BMF-1 & BMF-2 (B43002-1&2). Group start-up of weigh belt feeders and mill feed conveyors will depend on the following factors: • • •

Healthy signal from the safety switches placed on the conveyors Ball mill (B46201 / B46202) is running Low-Low alarm not present at the respective bin.

The feed rate set point to the weigh feeders is from the Ball Mill Specific Energy Consumption (JIC01B0206, JIC-01B0506, P&ID: R-01-1002 & R-01-1005). Ball mill feed set point is based on mill specific energy, kWh/T as formulated below: Feed (TPH) =

(Mill kWh per h) / (Mill kWh per T)

Mill Specific energy will be set by an operator at 12.5 (Constant) [Refer P&ID: R-01-1001, Note-5] The action on a bin alarm of “low-low” (5%) is to stop the belt weigh feeder (B55201-1, 2) under the bin. This will prevent the bin emptying out with the consequential damage to the belt weigh feeders caused by material falling from the top of the bin directly on them. Stopping of weigh belt feeders and mill feed conveyors will depend on the following factors: •

Unhealthy signal from the safety switches placed on the conveyors



Ball mill stops



Low-Low alarm at the respective bin

HH, H, and LL, L set points are indicative only and will be finalized by the commissioning engineer. 3.2 Shutdown Prior to a planned shutdown the decision must be made as to whether or not to empty off all or any of the conveyors. This decision will determine the sequence and timing of each conveyor shutdown. The units are designed so they can be safely be restarted if stopped under full load. 3.3 Wet Grinding System (R-01-1002, 1003, 1004, 1005, 1006 & 1007) (Inputs received from package vendor FLSmidth) 3.3.1

Iron ore feed size of -12mm (F100) with moisture content 8% is fed into the ball mill in a controlled rate .Water added at the ball mill inlet to cater to grinding and to maintain the consistency in percentage solids at the trommel discharge. The discharge from ball mill is pumped to a classifying Hydrocyclone for separating -70 to -75 microns fractions (P80). The oversize will be recycled to Ball Mill for further grinding. The Product will be collected from the Hydrocyclone over flow. Hydrocyclone underflow is taken as a recycle into ball mill feed, this forms the closed circuit. Required dilution water through flow control valves FV0021/FV1021 can be added to the slurry tank to maintain density of slurry to the Hydrocyclone (Loop No: FIC-B01-0020 / FIC-B01-1020, P&ID: R-01-1003 / R-01-1006) A flow transmitter FIT0037 / FIT1037 and Density meter DIT0036 / DIT1036 (Loop No: DIC-B010036 / 1036, P&ID: R-01-1003 / R-01-1006) is provided in the discharge of the slurry pumps (331.PU210/B41101-1, 2 / 3, 4) to maintain the slurry density and flow rate to the Hydrocyclone. The readings of the same will be available at the Main Automation System. A Flow control valve FCV0044 / FCV1042 located in the ball mill feed water pipe to ensure proper control on the water addition to mill (Loop No: FIC-B01-0042 / 1040, P&ID: R-01-1002 / R-01-1005). Protective trips/alarms for the mill motor, lubrication system etc would be actuated from the Main Automation System. A local control panel monitors girth gear – pinion grease lubrication system. Main Automation System obtains only healthy and unhealthy signals from the Girth gear local control panel. However, the start/ stop command can be initiated from the Main Automation System. 3.3.2

Normal Start-up Sequence

This section describes the functional group startup sequence. If the group has an automatic start sequence, time delays between equipment will also be listed. Any group preconditions required prior to startup are also listed herein. However, interlocks required for individual or predefined groups of equipment are listed in the Interlocks section. 3.3.3

Normal Operation

This section describes the functional group normal operation, including operator functions. There are three modes of operation, as described below: Automatic “Automatic” mode is when functional groups are controlled automatically and in sequence by the equipment control system. A functional group is a set of items such as motors, valves, etc. which are started by a single operator action when in Automatic Mode. All Protective, Safety, Machine, Operational and Start Interlocks must be met in order to operate. Manual “Manual” mode is when items such as motors, valves, etc. are controlled individually by the operator using the equipment control system. Functional groups have no meaning in Manual Mode. All Protective, Safety, and Start Interlocks must be met in order to operate. Local “Local” mode is when items such as motors, valves, etc. are controlled individually in the field, usually by local pushbutton stations located near the equipment. Functional groups have no meaning in Local Mode. Since the operator interface in Local Mode is often physical devices rather than a display screen, extra care must be taken to ensure that interlocking continues to be enforced. All Protective, Safety, and Start Interlocks must be met in order to operate.

Main Automation System Control Commands to operate the equipment control system are made by an operator using the Main Automation System HMI. The Main Automation System can only operate equipment in Automatic Mode. 3.3.4

Normal Shutdown Sequence

This section describes the group shutdown sequence. If the group has an automatic shutdown sequence, time delays to allow for equipment cleanout or deceleration will also be listed. 3.3.5

Abnormal and Emergency Shutdowns

This section describes abnormal shutdown conditions caused by isolated process or equipment abnormalities or activation of individual equipment safety devices. It also describes emergency shutdowns due to automatic activation of personnel safety systems or field emergency stop pushbuttons. 3.3.6

Interlocks

The Interlocks section describes all interlocks for the individual equipment or functional group of equipment within the associated software function group. Interlock is defined herein as an input/output signal or a Main Automation System/Main Automation System internal logic condition, which automatically prevents the operation of an individual or functional group of equipment from the Plant Main Automation System HMI. When the condition of an interlock(s) is such that operation of a related piece of equipment or an equipment group is permitted, the interlock(s) is defined as being “satisfied.” Specific devices in the Interlock table may be preceded by “NOT”. This is the condition for the analog threshold (i.e. NOT Bearing Temperature High-High = Bearing Temperature is NOT ABOVE the High-High Set point). However, in the case of discrete switches the Interlock is stated from the “ON” perspective of the switch. For example the Oil Reservoir Low switch is ON when the oil level is NOT Low (fail-safe), so the required interlock in the switch being true. Interlocks consist of five types and are described in detail below: Safety interlocks: Safety interlocks are those interlocks which prevent damage to that associated piece of equipment. As a result, safety interlocks apply when operating in “Automatic Mode”, “Manual Mode” and “Local Mode”. Example Safety interlock for a pump would be “no high-high bearing temperature.” Safety interlocks for every motor will also include the “MCC/motor ready” signal and receipt of a run confirmation from the motor contactor after a run command is sent. These interlocks apply to all motors and are not listed in the interlock table for this reason. Start interlocks: Start interlocks are those interlocks necessary “ONLY” for starting the machine. As soon as the motor is running the start interlock has no influence. As a result, start interlocks apply when operating in “Automatic Mode”, “Manual Mode” and “Local Mode”. Example A start interlock for a fixed speed fan with automatic damper would be that the “damper be closed” (limit switch or position transmitter) prior to starting.

Protective Interlocks: Protective interlocks are those interlocks for the protection of the motor itself. As a result, protective interlocks apply when operating in “Automatic Mode”, “Manual Mode” and “Local Mode”. Example A protective interlock for an equipment motor would be motor bearing temperature or motor winding temperature. Machine Interlocks: Machine interlocks are those interlocks for the protection of the machine that is operating in Automatic Mode. As a result, machine interlocks apply only when operating in “Automatic Mode”. Example A machine interlock for a belt conveyor would be a belt drift switch. Operational Interlocks: Operational interlocks are those interlocks that are related to the process, but not to the equipment, that is necessary for the normal operation of the item. As a result, operational interlocks apply only when operating in “Automatic Mode”. Example: An operational interlock would be downstream equipment running. 3.3.7

Overview

The mill plant incorporates the following features: •

Feed system (Described in section 3.1)



Ball mill



Hydrocyclone



Product Slurry system

3.3.7.1

Ball mill

Iron ore size reduction is carried out in the Ball mill. Water spray system is installed on the discharge chute for cleaning the trommel screen and process water addition is installed at the feed chute to maintain the percentage solids consistency. Temperature Scanner at the feed end and discharge end measures the inlet and outlet mill bearing temperature. Slurry from the trommel discharge is transported to Slurry Tank. The mill is equipped with internal liners and the balls are charged in different size. The efficiency of wet grinding action depends mainly on the solids present in the feed slurry to the Ball mill. The Ball mill outlet is fed to hydro cyclone through slurry pumps for coarser and finer classification. Trommel screen functions for the removal of grinding media scats and tramp oversize material from mill discharge slurry which fed into mill discharge tank. Mill scats are then discharged to the area below mill and are manually shoveled. 3.3.7.2

Hydrocyclone

Hydrocyclone are density separators that convert pressure energy into rotational momentum. The rotational momentum provides the centrifugal force to classify solids from slurry. Separation efficiency is determined by the Hydro cyclone geometrical parameters. The interaction between parameters dedicates the Hydro cyclone efficiency.

In operation, pressurized slurry is fed to the Hydro cyclone and the centrifugal force generated causes the heavier suspended solids to move toward the wall while the radial velocity forces the liquid and lighter gravity solids to move inward toward the central axis. Primary and secondary vortex develops. The primary vortex carries the solids to the apex. The apex orifice permits the heavier solids and a small amount of the liquor to be discharged. A secondary developing vortex carries the cleaned primary liquid (liquor) and light gravity solids out through the Vortex Finder Tube. The performance of the hydro cyclone is based on the particle size distribution of the cyclone overflow. The underflow slurry from the hydro cyclone is fed in to the ball mill. The hydro cyclone overflow is fed to the Thickener Feed Well by gravity. 3.3.7.3

Product Slurry System

Each grinding mill will have a dedicated mill discharge slurry pump tank which collects the ground iron ore slurry from the mill. Each slurry pump tank with conical bottom, is of approximately 50 m3 capacity. The tank base will preferably be above grade level. Water addition to the Ball Mill Slurry Tank is to control the Density of the slurry being fed to the Hydro Cyclone which is monitored by density meter at the slurry pump discharge. This is controlled by a Control Valve in the Water Addition Line to the slurry tank. Slurry Pumps are equipped the Variable speed drive to maintain consistent pressure in the Hydro Cyclone for better classification and the slurry tank is equipped with Level transmitter to maintain level in tank. 3.3.8

Operation Philosophy and Plant Sequencing

Starting of the mill system is divided into a number of groups. Each drive/ equipment/ Valves in a particular group has a specified sequence of operation. Each group in itself has a specified sequence of operation during start and stop. This means that no equipment can be started before the subsequent equipment has been started. Inversely, stop of any equipment will cause the stop of the preceding equipment, unless until specified herein. This section outlines the division of groups; the basic terminology used in numbering of the groups, sequential Interlocks between groups and between equipment/ drives/ Valves in every particular group. This section basically outlines the various process Interlocks that are to be satisfied for successful operation of a sequence. The operator has to ensure that the power source, remote selection etc., are properly ensured. In case, the same has not been ensured, the HMI would initiate the respective alarms as described in the earlier section(s)/ sub section(s). The philosophy goes into details on the various process related Interlocks and sequences only. Zero speed switch indication has not been included due to the commonality to all drives. Interlocks like pull chord switch, belt sway switch, instrument air pressure etc, and are not included in the write up. General Notes: a. Temperature, pressure, flow, level and any other process parameter set point will be adjusted and set during commissioning. Access to the set point is provided only for Engineers and not for the Operators. b. For all the analog inputs, trends are configured in the Main Automation System. c.

Pressure switch is provided in the discharge line of all Slurry pumps for monitoring low pressure alarm in the Main Automation System.

d. Considering the safety of the equipment, the AUTO changeover of any drives is not permitted in the mill. e. During the Re-start of the plant after the power failure, the operator has to ensure that the mill drive is “ready for operation” before starting the mill discharge tank group and Hydro cyclone group to avoid overflow of slurry at the mill feed end and discharge end. (After starting the

Hydro cyclone and Mill discharge tank group, the mill drive has to be started immediately). f.

After ensuring that the utilities are ready the operator initiates the starting of the plant. 3.3.9

Equipment Grouping

The various sections of the wet grinding circuit are assigned group numbers to assist the definition of discrete areas. Groups can be started up individually in preparation for overall plant start-up. These numbers will also be used for plant start-up and commissioning planning activities. Details of the groups are included in the relevant sections. The total process is broken down into four discrete groups to allow for easy description of the facilities. These are as follows: Group 1 – Slurry Classification Group 2 – Ball mill Lubrication Group 3 – Ball Mill Group 4 – Ball mill Feed 3.3.10 Slurry Classification – Group-1 (P&ID: R-01-1003, R-01-1004, R-01-1006, R-011007) 3.3.10.1 Group description: The ground product from the ball mill discharges into the slurry tank (331. TK200/B35101-1).Slurry tank is provided with a level transmitter LT0023 to monitor and maintain the level with the slurry pump speed control. Pair of slurry pumps (331.PU210/331.PU220/B41101-1, 2), (one operating and the other stand by) are located adjacent to the tank transport the slurry to the Hydro cyclones. Both slurry pumps are provided with Variable frequency Drive (VFD). A ‘low’ level in the tank (331.TK200/B35101-1), (LAL0023 set at 20%) inhibits the starting of the slurry pumps. A ‘low low’ level in the tank (331.TK200 /B35101-1),(LALL0023 set at 30%) is used to trip the Hydro cyclone feed pumps. The normal operating level is expected to be 65%.Slurry pump speed shall be varied to maintain the targeted level. Slurry is classified for fines and coarse in a cluster of hydro-cyclone (331.HN300/B458011,2,3,4).Slurry is distributed to individual cyclones from a common feed distribution manifold. Pressure transmitter PT0039 located on the hydro cyclone manifold monitors inlet pressure of feed slurry. Consistent pressure is maintained for efficient classification in the hydro-cyclone. There are four cyclones in the cluster. Typically, at rated production one cyclone remain as a spare with all other cyclones on line. At lower capacity operation it might be necessary to reduce the number of cyclones in operation to maintain the desired pressure to achieve targeted classification. The field technician can add or reduce the number of cyclones in operation by opening or closing the cyclone feed valve. Overflow and underflow from the hydro-cyclone cluster discharges into common overflow and underflow launders respectively. The overflow product slurry is sent through pipeline to the storage tank and flows by gravity. Coarse underflow Slurry is discharged into the ball mill for further grinding to target fineness. Transmitters FIT0037 and DIT0036 measure the flow and density of the slurry as fed to the hydrocyclones respectively. The hydro cyclone feed slurry percent solid is maintained at 55% w/w by adding water to the slurry tank. Water addition is controlled via the automated flow control valve FCV0021.

The clean compartment is approx. 710 litres (3 minutes retention) and the balance 1600 litres in the dirty side (6 minutes retention). The correct oil temperature in the sump tank is maintained by 3 kW heater elements (3 Nos), monitored by Temperature transmitter (TT4033). Heaters operate between sump oil temperatures of 32 – 38°C. The dirty compartment temperature transmitter is indicative and for heater control only. Two oil level transmitters (LT4032/38) are also interlocked for oil level monitoring. Oil level sight glasses fitted to the tank gives visual indication of oil level & temperature (LG4034/36 & TG4035/37). Air breather / filter allow clean air to enter the tank. 3 (nos) BSP drain valves plugs are available to drain the tank, when required. Access to the tank internals is gained by removing the tank lid and removal of the man-hole cover, which are bolted down. The LP conditioning circuit is fitted with 2 LP oil gear pumps LP (One Working & One Standby), driven by an 18.5 kW TEFC electric motor, fitted with integral pressure relief valves, set at 10 bars. Suction is isolated from the tank via a butterfly valve; discharge end isolated via both a non return valve and ball valve. The LP oil flow rate is approx. 430 lpm, which is supplied to the oil conditioning circuit and the pinion bearings and returned to tank as a closed loop system via the over-flow and pinion brgs drain line. A pressure gauge (PG4009) & pressure transmitter (PT4011), oil flow (FIT4010) and temperature transmitters (TT4008) in the line confirms that the conditioning circuit is functional, allowing the use of the pinion LP & hydrostatic HP pumps. The “dirty & hot oil" from the sump tank settling compartment is pumped to a high capacity LP duplex filter and thereafter to a Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE). The duplex filter unit is fitted with 2 filter clogged visual indicators and a common indicating differential pressure transmitter

(DPIT4023),which indicates to "change-over” and clean filter unit on-line, thereafter, allowing the artisan to isolate the clogged filter housing ( close both butterfly valves ) and to replace the clogged filter element with a new unit, resetting the visual indicator, re-opening the isolating butterfly valves after completion, bleeding and equalising the filter housing pressure, which is now ready for use. A Manual valve Controls the water flow rate through the cooler, maintaining a constant oil temperature exiting the cooler of 47°C. Temperature gauges (TG4022) before and after(TG4006) the cooler give visual indication of the water and oil temperature across the cooler. The temperature transmitter (TT4008) fitted to the cooler oil exit line, interlocked to raise an alarm if the 0 oil Temperature exceeds 52 C. The conditioned oil (clean & cool oil) exits the cooler and a bleed line return back to the sump tank clean compartment (414 lpm). Clean compartment oil level and temperatures (level LT4038> 90% 0 and oil temp TT4039> 38 C) shall meet to start the HP pumps. The conditioning pump should run continuously, even when the mill is stopped. High Pressure Hydrostatic Oil Lube The HP oil is pumped to the mill bearings via a 4 port flow divider, as follows: FE (Feed End) bearing at 118 lpm; 59 lpm per pocket DE (Discharge End) bearing at 118 lpm; 59 lpm per pocket HP Pressure gauges, HP pressure transmitters (PT 4050/ 53/ 56/ 59), HP flow transmitter (FIT4038) exist to monitor and inter-locked. The oil flow rates are balanced using rotary geared flow divider to achieve the correct flow rates to the various bearing pockets. The HP tandem gear pumps HP 01 /02 (One Working & One Standby) are isolated from the sump tank by ball valves, and protected against over-pressure by an individual pressure relief valve, set at 103 bar. Non return and ball valves isolate the pump feed lines, and a pressure gauge, oil flow transmitter are fitted for visual and MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM interlocking for HP system pressure. The 2750 kW TEFC mill main motors will be tripped if the pressure drops below 25 bar or oil flow drops <180lpm. Each bearing pocket is fed by an independent HP lube line at 59 lpm each and 100 bar, monitored & inter-locked by pressure gauges and pressure transmitters (PT). Two Nos in-line 54litre bladder type accumulators are fitted to the HP circuit to store oil under pressure in the event of a power failure, discharging oil through the flow divider at a reduced rate for 10 seconds until the mill comes to a complete stop. Pressure switches & gauges are interlocked with the Main Automation System to ensure sufficient nitrogen gas pressure exists in the bladder to perform the emergency oil run-down for 10 seconds. Low Pressure Pinion Bearing Oil Lube Oil flow to the pinion bearings is controlled by the 4 needle valves (331.XV 4013/15/17/19), delivering 4 lpm of oil to each pinion bearing. Flow indicating transmitters (FIT4014/16/18/20) give visual indication of oil flow to each pinion bearing and is interlocked with the Main Automation System to raise an alarm if the oil flow drops below 3.4 lpm. 3.3.11.1.2

3.3.11.2 Main Gearbox Lubrication system Group – 2B (R-01-1011, R-01-1012) The ball mill main gear reducer is lubricated utilizing a forced lubrication system. The reducer lube system 331.LQ145 contains an oil reservoir. Two oil-circulating pumps 331.GB 01/02 (one working + one standby) are utilized for oil circulation inside the reducer. An oil-water cooler is provided in the downstream to cool the oil before entering the main reservoir. The pressure of oil to the gearbox lubrication system and the oil circulation pump discharge line will be monitored by the pressure switches PSL4081. TemperatureTG4080 and pressure gauges PG4083 are provided in the line for local display. The discharge piping of the pump is connected to a differential pressure switch DPSH4084 monitors the pressure drop across the filter unit. The switch provides an input to the control system to alarm on high-pressure drop across the filter alerting the operator to change the filter. The pumps used for oil recirculation, in case failure of main pump auxiliary shall be manually started by the standby pump and will trip the working pump by the low pressure switch PSL is activated will trip the oil pump. 3.3.13

b.

Ball mill grease spray system 331.GS137 3.3.12.3 Ball Mill Girth-gear grease spray system Group

Prior to mill start up, the Main Automation System should have a healthy signal from the grease drum low level switch. As soon as the mill main motor runs, the Main Automation System will energises the 3/2 way air solenoid valve which operates the pneumatic grease pump, and a monitoring timer is activated. The grease is pumped through the grease strainer via the tubing to the Master distributor, splitting the flow equally to the 2 Slave distributors, which in turn discharges fixed quantities of grease into all 10 nozzles. Once this cycle is complete, the indicator pin on the slave distributors will activate the limit switches (ZS4064/71), which re-sets the monitoring timer and the Main Automation System will energise the 2/2 way air spray solenoids for a set time period (time required for the mill to do 1 full revolution, approx. 4 sec. plus time required complete the 7 distributor cycles) The air pressure switches (PSL4062) in the air line will confirm to the Main Automation System that the solenoid valves are operational and that the plant air pressure is sufficient. The grease pump runs for the duration of the set pulses, pulsed by the distributor limit switches ZS. As soon as the

pulses are complete, i.e. 7 pulses, the Main Automation System will de-energise the pump solenoid valve and the system is put on PAUSE for a set time period (10 minutes). The above cycle will be repeated as long as the mill runs. The indicator pin will not activate the limit switches if: •

no grease flow to the nozzles occurs



the nozzles are blocked



the pipeline is broken / blocked



the distributor and/or limit switch is faulty



the grease strainer is blocked

The air pressure switch PSL4062 will fail to signal the Main Automation System if the 2/2 way solenoid valve is faulty, or if the plant air pressure is low or off line. The pressure gauge gives visual indication of the system air & grease pressure. The pump should trip if no pulses are generated from the distributors, or the air pressure switches are not activated. The mill should then also trip. 3.3.12.4 Group 3 starting Sequence: Start command of the Group 3 initiate the following sequence a.

3.3.12.7 Grinding section stopping sequence A stop command to Ball mill Group initiates the stopping of the ball mill main drive 331.MD 135/140 followed by the grease spray system within 2seconds (set during Commissioning). NOTE: Group3 interlocks are also applicable when the mill is running using Inching drive. 3.3.13

General

3.3.13.1 Cleaning Mill Feed Chute Blockage Feed chute can block mainly due to following. •

Loss of water to the mill.



Reduced quantity of water with respect to set ratio.



Improper operation of weigh feeder.

In all cases, addition or correction of water and recycle slurry can solve the problem. Occasionally, poking of feed chute with controlled addition water will be required. Utmost care needs to be taken while poking the chokes, so as not to damage the linings over the feed chute or accidentally drop the poking device into the chute. These might aggravate the problem. If need be, a shutdown of mill might be warranted. 3.3.13.2 Cleaning Mill Discharge Trommel Screen Mill discharge trommel screen could get blocked due to the following reasons. Stray material like cloth, wood, jute or plastic material that might have been fed along with the feed ore.

Mill operation with high solid percentage by weight than that recommended and a subsequent emergency shutdown. The permanent remedy for case one would be to feed clean ore in to the mill. In both cases jamming could possibly be cleared by pressurized fresh water into the trommel screen and carefully extracting with proper tools from the discharge of the mill. If needed, stop the mill operation to clear the jam. 3.3.13.3 Integrated Start Sequence In summary the system is started with the following sequence. • •

Start the Group 1 Start the Group 2



Start the Group 3



Start the Group 4



Put the liquor flow controllers in to cascade Control. 3.3.14

Integrated Stop Sequence

In summary the system is stopped with the following sequence. • • •

Put the liquor flow controllers in to Auto mode to maintain their current set points Stop the Group 4 Wait for the mill to empty of solids

• • • • •

Stop the Group 3 Stop mill main drives Set the liquor flow rates to low values Wait for the mill discharge tank to empty of solids Flushing the mill discharge slurry transfer pipe



Close the water flow control valves



Stop the Group 1



Drain the slurry from mill discharge tanks.



Stop the Group 2

Allowance is also made for flushing the mill and tanks as much as possible after an equipment trip. This sequence is still initiated by the operator. 3.3.14

Emergency Operation

If any trip or failures occur in any of the drives in this group, all preceding equipment will also stop as a result of the interlock system. This could result in increased difficulty while re-starting the group due to the improper shut down. If the quantity of the material is huge that remain in the system, it might be necessary for the operator to resort to the Individual mode of start during re-start of group. 3.3.14.1 Failure of feeding arrangement to Mill In this instance, a number of simultaneous interlock actions need to occur. Those include immediately. Mill main motor stops if the weigh feeder operation is not restored within 300 seconds from the fault occurred. Mill water controls automatically with the ratio control. Main bearing lubrication system stops after 600sec if run feedback of mill main motor fails.

started and stopped and the rakes raised and lowered via pushbuttons on the front of the panel. The panel displays all of the alarms as well as the main process signals, viz: Torque. 3.4.1

Principle of Operation

Feed slurry enters the thickener from the top via a feed pipe, and is discharged tangentially into the feed well. The slurry is diluted with filtrate (From Filtrate tank) and a chemical agent (a poly electrolyte) is added to bind solid particles to form suitably large and stable flocs that settle under gravitational forces. The flocculated slurry settles over a bed with a well-defined interface with clarified water above it. Clarified water flows to a peripheral collection launder at the top of the thickener and finally flow into the process water tank and again re-circulated as process water. Rake arms fastened to the drive shaft coupled with gear box, scrape the precipitated and deposited sludge towards to the centre of thickener bottom cone. Concentrated Sludge is withdrawn from central underflow nozzle located at base of the thickener and then pumped to the slurry holding tanks (B36101-1&2). 3.4.2

Control Logic for Thickener Local Control Panel

The main controls for the Thickener are as follows: 1.

Manually Start or Stop the Hydraulic power pack Electric motor through local control panel.

2.

Manually raise and lower the rake base.

3.

Rake raising and lowering through Auto mode.

4.

Manual trip Reset.

5.

Selection of operation (Auto/Manual operation) through selector switch.

3.4.2.1

Manual operation

Manual mode shall be selected in the selector switch. The electric motor shall be started manually. The motor shall start only if oil level is above the specified level in the power pack and the pressure switch has not exceeded the maximum set pressure (95% of set pressure). The Hydraulic Cylinder is actuated manually up to the maximum stroke or the rake base raised up to maximum level. Once the cylinder reaches to max. Stroke, the Upper limit switch turn NC thereby restricting further raising of the rake. The Hydraulic Cylinder is retracted manually or the rake base is lowered up to the minimum level. Once it reaches to the minimum set point, the Lower limit switch turn NC, thereby restricting further lowering. When the oil level reaches low level in the hydraulic power pack or pressure switch experience maximum pressure (95%) or pre-set pressure governed by the pressure transmitter is more than 60% - The Hooter siren turns ON. While lifting the rake mechanism, the rake arms shall continuously rotate and scrape the slurry. Hooter will turn OFF if trip reset is being activated. The electric motor shall be stopped manually.

Auto operation

1. Auto Mode shall be selected by selector switch. 2. The Hydraulic Power pack electric motor shall be manually started. The motor shall start only if oil level is just above the specified level in the power pack and pressure switch has not exceeded maximum set pressure (95%). 3. If torque is less than 60% of the set pressure in the pressure transmitter, rake shall rotate at the lower most position and lower limit switch shall turn NC. 4. Accordingly indication shows as ‘Rake is fully lowered’. 5. Once torque reaches to 60 % or more of the preset pressure transmitter reading, rake shall raise automatically and will be held at the position so that pressure drops to 60 % of the set pressure. In any case if rake pressure reaches 95% of the set pressure, pressure switch shall be activated and the electric motor turns OFF. 6. If the rake lift carriage reaches the maximum level and still the pressure shows more than 95%, the electric motor shall turn OFF (Upper limit switch turn to NC). 7. Accordingly indication shows as ‘Rake is fully raised’. 8. After lifting, if pressure drops to less than 40% of set pressure, rake shall lower automatically by timer circuit relay. Rake shall lower every 180 sec. interval and spike of 2 sec ON, process shall be repeated till this reaches the lower most position. 9. When oil level reaches the low level in the hydraulic power pack or pressure switch experiences maximum pressure (95%) or more than 60% of pre set pressure governed by the pressure transmitter, the Hooter siren turns ON. 3.4.2.3

Control Logic For Flocculent Dosing System

The operation logic for complete flocculent dosing system is designed and defined to prepare and dose the required quantity of flocculent automatically from Main Automation System. Provision for manual operation is also enabled through a selector switch. The flocculent solution of 0.25% concentration gets pumped by the dosing pump. If required, further dilution will be done by addition of water. Proper mixing takes place inside the static mixture before the diluted flocculent solution enters the thickener. Once the flocculent drops below certain level (1-FDS-LS-04) in dosing tank (1-FDS-DOT-02), the level switch gives the signal to Transfer Pump (1 - FDS - TP – 01), which starts and pumps the prepared solution from preparation tank (1-FDS-PRT-01) to dosing tank (1-FDS-DOT-02).The Transfer Pump (1 - FDS - TP – 01) Stops at LL level of the tank.

is pre calculated. Dosing Tank Volume above Low level (1-FDS-LS-04) is slightly more than this Pre calculated Volume (Effective Volume). Hence there is no possibility of overflow. When the preparation tank (1-FDS-PRT-01) gets emptied, this signal is transferred to panel by level switch (1-FDS-LS-03) and the Transfer Pump stops (1 - FDS - TP – 01). Simultaneously, water inlet solenoid valve (1-FDS-SOV-01) actuates to open & allow water inside preparation tank (1-FDS-PRT-01). When the water just submerges agitator blades, level switch (1-FDS-LS-02) gives signal again to panel, which in turn starts Screw feeder (1-FDS-SF-01) and agitator (1-FDSAG-01). Screw feeder is allowed to operate only for few seconds thro timer (T2) to allow just enough quantity of flocculent powder required for preparing fresh batch of solution at 0.25% concentration. It will be automatically stopped through Timer. It will also invariably stop at high level (1-FDS-LS01), overriding the timer as a safety interlock, depending on the status. The water inlet to the preparation tank stops when the high level (1-FDS-LS-01) is reached. Agitator (1-FDS-AG-01) continues to mix water and powder to make homogeneous solution and stops when solution is transferred to dosing tank. The whole cycle repeats when the dosing tank level hits low level again. The safety interlock is provided, in case the level goes further low (very low) (1-FDS-LS-05) in dosing tank (approximately 50mm. lower than low level), very low level switch is actuated, trips the dosing pump (1-FDS-DP-01) In such conditions, manual building up of level in dosing tank needs to be done, till very low level signal goes off. The auto manual switch is provided on panel which enables following operations manually provided the very low dosing tank level alarm is not actuated. 1. Transfer valve operation 2. Agitator operation 3. Screw feeder operation 4. Water feed valve operation 3.5 Thickener Underflow Slurry Handling The Thickener (B45701) receives slurry from many sources. The ball mill area sump pumps and filter area sump pumps go to the Sieve Bend (B45451) to reject trash and oversize material. Density and flow meters (DT-01B0820), (DT-01B0830) and (FT-01B0821), (FT-01B0831) measure the Thickener Underflow Pumps (B41101-1, 2, 3) discharge. There are two underflow pumps running with one spare. Thickener underflow slurry density is maintained at a specific gravity of approximately 2.13. There are two density controllers that control the discharge either to the slurry distributer or to the thickener. Underflow travels to the Slurry Distributor (B48201) and is directed by two Dart Valves (B48201-1, 2) to the Slurry Holding Tanks (B36101-1, 2). An overflow at the Distributor returns slurry to the thickener. The three Thickener Underflow Pumps have individual Hand Speed Controllers at the Main Automation System. The thickener underflow rate will be controlled to maintain equilibrium between the solids going into the thickener from all sources and the solids pumped as underflow at the proper density to the slurry holding tanks. One indication that the thickener is not in equilibrium is that the level in the slurry tank will begin dropping. Another indication is the torque measured from the thickener rake will increase as a result of excessive solids building. The underflow pump rate may then be

adjusted by the operator to re-establish the solids balance. The variable speed control will only be used for small adjustments. The operator may also increase the solids flow to the upstream ball mills to balance the solids into and out of the thickener. If there are large changes in the flow of solids to the thickener, then the thickener underflow will be recycled until the desired density has been re-established. One of the thickener underflow pumps may be shutdown if the one of the upstream ball mills is shutdown. The flow and density instruments on the thickener underflow pumps allow operators to compute the mass flow from the thickener. Once equilibrium is reached in the thickener, the underflow pump speed may be adjusted to yield the same mass flow to the distributor as the new solids feeding the thickener. The primary source of new solids enters the thickener from the cyclone overflow. 3.6 Thickener Overflow Water handling Overflow from the thickener goes to Process Water sump (B15701) fitted with pumps (B41105-1, 2, 3). Two pumps would be in operating condition and 1 pump will be standby. The process water sump level controller (Loop No: LIC-01B-0804, P&ID: R-01-1023) will control makeup water addition through LV-01B0804A in case of low level of the sump or divert water to Blow down through LV-01B0804B in case of High High level of the sump. At Low Low level of the sump, process water pumps will stop. 3.7 Slurry Holding tanks Two Dart Valves (B48201-1, 2) direct the thickener underflow slurry to Slurry holding tanks. The dart valves are operated manually from Main Automation System. Operator will allow the Dart valves to fill one Slurry Holding Tank at a time. The third dart valve is for future. Agitators (B39102-1, 2) are fitted to keep the slurry in suspension in the Slurry Holding Tanks. Slurry level (LIT-01B1304 and LIT-01B1305) should be maintained to keep the agitator below slurry level. 3.8 Filter Press Feed Pumps Manual valves allow the Filter Press Pumps (B41103-1, 2, 3) to be fed from either Slurry Holding Tank. If both Slurry Holding tanks are empty, then all three Filter Press Feed pumps (B41103-1, 2, 3) stop. The Filter Press Feed Pumps are designed for one pump for (2) Filter Presses. The logic will allow the pump to fill only one filter press at a time. 3.9 Pressure filter (Inputs received from package vendor METSO) The pressure filter operates on a batch basis and comprises a series of filter plates supported in a fabricated frame with a hydraulic system to open and close the filter plate pack. Slurry is fed into the chambers; the filtrate formed in the filter plates passes through the filter cloths while the solids are retained in the chambers. After filtration the membranes are activated to stabilize the cake and the filter cake is air dried by passing Compressed air through the cake. The filter is then opened to discharge the cake, the cloths are rinsed and the filter starts next cycle. The operation of the VPA Pressure Filter (VPA 20 of METSO) is fully automatic requiring only periodical operator routine inspection and operational checks. A complete filter cycle comprises of following individual steps

Low pressure closing High pressure closing Feed - filtration Membrane compression Air through blow Top blow High pressure drainage Cake chute doors opening Filter opening – cake discharge Cloth vibration (only if required) Cake chute doors closing Cloth washing with vibrations Waiting for next cycle to commence These individual steps are generally described as follows – reference is also made to the valve sequence diagram. 3.9.1

Low pressure closing

The cycle begins with filter closing where the low-pressure high-capacity hydraulic pump is started and oil is directed by appropriate valves to retract the cylinder rods. This pump actually consists of multiple pumps mounted on a common shaft. Each pump operating one cylinder to ensure equal extension and retraction speed of all cylinders to maintain parallel movement of the pressure piece and filter plates. When the movable head reached the inner closed position indicated by proximity switches the filter Low Pressure is closed. 3.9.2

High pressure Closing

When the filter has reached the low pressure closed position, the step high pressure closing will commence. The hydraulic high pressure pump will create the required pressure to retract the cylinder rods a little bit further to accomplish compressive closing. High pressure closing pressure is indicated by a pressure transmitter. 3.9.3

Feed - filtration

The feed pump needs be controlled by a variable speed drive unit. The pump speed control is necessary to cater for the difference in the pump operating conditions at the start and end of the filtering step, where high flow/low pressure and low flow/high pressure conditions are required respectively. With this system, the feed pump speed will be controlled to provide a filling rate of the correct flow m³/hr, which should fill the filter under controlled forms. As the pressure increases, the pump speed will be increased to achieve and maintain the required 6-8 bar filtering pressure. Signals to start and stop the feed pump, as well as the pump speed reference signals could be provided from the filter control system. Feed - Filtration starts as soon as the correct filter closing pressure is reached. Feed valve V1 opens and the feed pump starts. An automatic feed control system will control the speed of the pump, the first part of the feed step under flow control to limit the flow rate, then a ramped speed increase until the 6-8 bar filtering pressure is achieved and maintained. The pump speed reference signals can be provided by the filter control system. The cloth damage detection system is activated a short time after the filtration starts to avoid the normal initial turbid filtrate flow period.

Filtration continues for the timed period, or by using derivative calculation algorithm. The feed pump then stops and feed valve V1 closes. 3.9.4

Membrane Compression

The membrane air evacuation valve (V10) closes and the membrane compression air feed valve (V7) opens to inflate the membranes. The primary membrane compression step continues for the timed period. 3.9.5

Air Through Blow

The filtrate valve V3 (V3, V12 and V13 on VPA 20 size filters) closes, air valve V5 opens and air is entering into the filter via two of the side channels and further into the surface of the membrane plates. The air has to pass through the filter cake forcing the water around the particles, out on the drainage surface on the filter plates, and out again of the filter through the two filtrate ports. The membranes are kept inflated with a higher pressure than the air through blow pressure during the complete step to compensate for the reduction in the filter cake volume as the moisture is displaced. To secure a higher pressure behind the membranes during the air through blow, the valve V11 opens for booster air to pressurize the membranes at the same time as valve V5 opens for air through-blow. The booster air is delivered from a booster air compressor. The procedure described above will prevent the filter cake from cracking and consequently minimize the air consumption. The air through-blow step continues for the timed period and then valve V5 is closed. 3.9.6

Top Blow

The filtrate valve V3 (V3, V12 and V13 on the VPA 20 size machines) opens. The Slurry return valve V4 and valve V41 opens. The air inlet valve V6 and water inlet valve V8 opens for a short time (V8 only if needed), to displace slurry from the feed channel in the filter plate pack. The Top blow step continues for the timed period. The top blow step is completed when valve V4 and valve V41 are closed. Then the membrane air valves V7 and V11 close and the membrane air evacuation valve V10 opens to release the membrane pressure. 3.9.7

High Pressure Drainage (Hydraulic)

The hydraulic closing pressure in the hydraulic cylinders is relieved allowing the filter to open slightly to drain any remaining filtrate from the filter. The filter weighing system records the filter weight. High pressure drainage completion is indicated by a pressure transmitter.

The two chute doors open, operated by hydraulic cylinders. Proximity switches indicate when the both doors are in open position. 3.9.9

Filter Opening cake discharge

The relevant hydraulic system valves are activated and the low pressure high capacity pumps extend the cylinders, pushing the movable head open. The filter plates are connected together to the movable head by a link system so as the movable head starts to move the plate pack is opened according to the concertina style allowing the cake to fall from the filter by gravity in the chambers one by one. When the movable head reached the outer limit of its travel indicated by proximity switches the filter is open. 3.9.10

Cloth Vibration

When the machine is in open position the weight will be checked. If the weight is above maximum allowed empty weight, the motor vibrators will start and run for short timed period to vibrate the filter cloths and to ensure that all cakes are removed from the filter cloths. If the empty weight is too high after the automatically repeated vibrations, the machine will stop. An alarm will follow which is visible on the screen and the remaining weight needs to be removed manually by further vibrations or washing. 3.9.11

Cake Chute Doors Closing

The two chute doors operated by hydraulic cylinders close. Proximity switches indicate when the both doors are in closed position. 3.9.12

Cloth wash

When the cake chute doors are closed the wash water valve V9 opens and cloth flushing starts. During flushing the vibrators may be activated to ensure that all remaining cake residue is removed. The cloth flushing step continues for the timed period and a after valve 9 closes. 3.9.13

Waiting time

A waiting time setting between the cycles can be used. Waiting continues for the timed period. The VPA Pressure Filter is then ready to start next cycle.

The VPA-press filter control system consists mainly of the following items: Main control cabinet, -K1 containing PLC, Industrial-PC and MCC functions, (designed to be installed on the filter platform). Pneumatic valve control, -PV1-2, (designed to be installed on the filter platform). Hydraulic control, -HV1 the hydraulic junction box, (preinstalled on the hydraulic unit). Weight system with 4 load cells and a weight central. 3.10.1

Description

The VPA-press filter is operated from the Industrial PC screen on the main control cabinet -K1 located on the filter platform. The industrial PC is connected to a PLC which handles the control logics. The VPA-press filter can be operated either in Automatic, Semi-automatic or Manually. In ‘AUTO’ the VPA-press filter operates automatically by the programmed sequence. In ‘SEMI-AUTOMATIC the filter is operated step by step through the sequence and in ‘MANUAL’ some of the filter functions can be manually operated from the monitor. All process specific Data & Parameters can be set and adjusted in the Settings-menu. Statistics, like Cycle time, Press weight etc. is presented on the Statistics-menu. Alarm & Fault handling is implemented in the operators’ panel; each alarm will be displayed with text, status, date and time in the Alarm-menu. The main power supply are connected to the Main control cabinet, all other supply and control voltages are created internally by use of transformers and distributed to all other different units. The cabinet are placed on rubber dampers to eliminate vibrations from the environment. The process air supply will only be connected to one point at the Pneumatic control panel, -PV1, that together with –PV2 controls all pneumatic process valves located around the press filter. Inductive proximity switches supervise the process valve positions. The Hydraulics will be controlled from the Main control cabinet via the junction box located on the hydraulic station. Inductive proximity switches supervise all hydraulic movements. A number of sensors, pressure switches, inductive proximity switches etc. for control and supervision of the process are connected to the Main control cabinet via junction boxes. A weighing system consisting of 4 load cells, (one in each corner of the VPA -press filter), connected to the weight-central via a junction box delivers the actual weight of the pressed material to the control system for process control and statistics. 3.10.2

Interfaces Between Metso And Customer

There are two types of interfaces between Metso VPA-press filter control system and JSPL. One is for the process control and the other is for starting & stopping the VPA Press filter from a Remote location. Both interfaces will preferably be Ethernet TCP/IP between the different units. 3.10.2.1 Process equipment interface Following signals will be exchanged between the Metso VPA control system and JSPL process equipment: From Metso → JSPL From JSPL → Metso

Filter cake and Filtrate handling

Pressure filtration occurs in several steps to dewater the iron ore concentrate. The typical filtration cycle starts with the feeding step, followed by compression, followed by air drying, then cake discharge, and finally cloth washing. In the Feeding step, slurry is pumped to the operating filter via the Filter Press Feed Pumps. Pumping pressure provides the pressure for the initial dewatering of the slurry. When the pumping pressure is no longer high enough to dewater the slurry, the feeding step is complete. The Filter Press Feed Pump then begins pumping either to another filter press or back to the three-way slurry distributor. Filtrate from the pressure filter drains to the Filtrate and Wash Water Tank. In the compression step, a pressurized bladder in the filter press compresses the filter cake to remove additional water from the filter cake. In the drying step, compressed air from the Drying Air Compressors removes additional water from the filter cake. Commands from each filter press will signal the Main Automation System to supply high pressure slurry. When not filling, the Filter Press Feed Pumps recycle slurry to the Slurry Distributor (B48201). There are six (6) Filter Presses (B45101, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6). These presses work on a cycle that is part of the METSO supplied PLC system with Profibus link to the Main Automation System. If Slurry is not needed at a filter press, the slurry is recycled back to the Slurry Distributor (B48201).

High Pressure water sprays are also used to clean the cloth when the filter frames are opened. There are 4 air compressors feeding 6 Filter Presses. The Filter Cake drops on the Filter Cake Conveyor (FC-11A, B, C, D, E & F) (B43010-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and is transported to common conveyor FC-12 (B43015). From here the filter cake will travel over conveyors FC- 13, 14, 15 & 16. Individual start-up of Filter cake collecting conveyors (FC-11A to F) and Filter cake transport conveyors FC-12, 13, 14, 15 & 16 will depend on healthy signal from the safety switches placed on the conveyors. Group start of FC-12, 13, 14, 15 & 16 will depend on the low level signal from level transmitters placed over filter cake storage bins (43502-1,2). Low signal from bin level transmitters will start FC16 first then filter cake conveyors FC-15, 14, 13 & 12 in a sequential manner provided there is healthy signal from safety switches on these conveyors. The Filter cake conveyor plow (B48005) is lowered to the conveyor in order to fill Iron ore filter cake storage bin-2 (B43502-2). Plow is equipped with two position switches, up and down. They signal the DCS which indicates to the control room operator the position of the plow. The plow is operated in manual mode; the operator raises and lowers the plow to suit. Full (High, High) bin will cause its plow to raise by the operator manually. HH alarm from both bin level transmitters and unhealthy signal from any conveyor safety switch will stop up-stream conveyors in a sequential manner. The Filtrate and Wash Water Tank (B35104) has two variable speed pumps (B41104-1, 2) to move the filtrate back to the Thickener. If the Filtrate level gets below the set point of LIT-01B1801A, then makeup water enters through LV-01AB1801. Level controller (Loop No: LIC-01B1801B, P&ID: R-01-1019) controls the speed of the Filtrate Pumps (B41104-1, 2). The set point of Level Controller (Loop No: LIC-01B1801A, P&ID: R-01-1019) is set at about 25 % while level controller LIC-01B1801B is set to 60 %. When the level reduces to 25% the control valve will attain its full opening condition in order to fill the tank. When the rising level is at 60% the valve will attain its full close condition and the pumps will start in order to pump-out the filtrate from the tank. 4.0

ADDITIVE RECEIVING AND DRY GRINDING -AREA 2

4.1

Additive Receiving & Storage (P&ID: R-02-1001)

Additive Feed can travel to Line 1 or Line 2. When directed to line 2, the material travels from reversing shuttle conveyor AF-4 (B43120) to Additive Feed Conveyor AF-15 (B43110) to reversing shuttle AF-16 (B43115). The shuttle car (B43120A) of AF-4 can position at the existing limestone bin, the existing coal bin, or at the Additive Feed conveyor AF-15. AF-15 will feed AF-16 (additive feed bin reversing shuttle conveyor, B43115). AF-16 will fill limestone bin (B16207) and coal bin (B16205). Individual start-up of blended ore conveyors AF-15 and shuttle conveyor AF-16 will depend on healthy signal from the safety switches placed on the conveyors.

Group start up will depend on the level signal from level transmitters placed over bins. Low (20%) signal from bin level transmitters will start shuttle conveyor AF-16 first then additive feed conveyors AF-15 in a sequential manner provided there is healthy signal from safety switches of these conveyors. The Additive feed bin reversing shuttle conveyor AF-16 feeds the Lime stone feed bin (B16207) and Coal feed bin (B16205) depending on the high level signal from level transmitters LIT 2212 & 2213 placed at the bins. The position limit switch (ZS 0132 & ZS 0134) placed suitably for lime stone bin and coal bin positions will allow the shuttle car to stop over the respective bins in order to achieve un-interrupted filling of the bins. When the limestone bin (B16207) and coal bin (B16205) level reaches the ‘High’ (70%) level (LAH02B2212 and LAH-02B2213) a light will blink at the filling location to warn operators that the bin is nearly full. If the level in both the bins should continue to rise to High, High (95%) the feed belt and feed shuttle conveyor will stop. Lime stone feed bin and Coal feed bin are equipped with individual weigh belt feeders (B43119 & B43068). Belt feeders discharge material to conveyors AMF-11 (B43079) at a controlled rate, set by the operator (Loop No: WIC - 2215 & 2216, P&ID: R-02-1001) for a capacity which is compatible with the Mill grinding capacity for that particular additive. Once the system is started, operator controls the respective belt feeder speed to obtain the desired set point as mentioned below: Low-Low (5%) bin level will stop the Weigh Belt Feeders LSF-11, CF-11 and subsequently additive mill feed conveyor AMF-11. The receiving rates for coal (10% H2O) and Lime stone (8% H2O) to the feed bins are: Coal: Lime Stone:

Design - TPH 100 100

Operating - TPH 100 100

Storage capacity of Coal and Lime stone storage bin is as follows: Coal feed bin: Lime Stone:

Operating - Hours 9 16

Design - Hours 4 9

The feed rate to the Additive mill feed conveyor is as follows: Operating Design:

Coal - TPH 21.2 43.5

Lime stone - TPH 22.7 43.5

The additive mill feed conveyor (AMF-11) feeds the additives to the Ball mill (B46203) 4.2

of 1% at a combined Bond Work Index of 16 KWH/MT. Hot Air Generator Supplies hot air to the mill which will dry the limestone-Anthracite coal mixture during grinding. Mill exhaust Gases are vented through a dynamic Classifier which recycles coarser particles back to the mill through a flap valve and an air slide. Ground product is collected in a cyclone and a bag filter placed after the dynamic Classifier. In this system, air flow is induced by two fans, mill ID fan and filter ID fan. The clean air from Bag filter shall be released to atmosphere through a stack. Product collected by the cyclone and bag filter is transferred to a product bin which is located inside mixer building. 4.2.2

Normal Start-up Sequence This section describes the functional group’s start-up sequence. If the group has an automatic start sequence, time delays between equipment will also be listed. Any group preconditions required prior to start-up are also listed herein. However, interlocks required for individual or predefined groups of equipment are listed in the Interlocks section.

4.2.4

Normal Operation This section describes the functional group’s normal operation, including operator functions. There are three modes of operation, as described below: Automatic: “Automatic” mode is when functional groups are controlled automatically and in sequence by the control system. A functional group is a set of items such as motors, valves, etc. which are started by a single operator action when it is in Automatic Mode. All Protective, Safety, Machine, Operational and Start Interlocks must be met in order to operate. Manual: “Manual” mode is when items such as motors, valves, etc. are con-trolled individually by the operator using the control system. Functional groups have no meaning in Manual Mode. All Protective, Safety, and Start Interlocks must be met in order to operate. Local: “Local” mode is when items such as motors, valves, etc. are controlled individually in the field, usually by local pushbutton stations located at the item. Functional groups have no meaning in Local Mode. Since the operator interface in Local Mode is often physical devices rather than a display screen, extra care must be taken to ensure that interlocking continues to be enforced. All Protective, Safety, and Start Interlocks must be met in order to operate. Main Automation System Control: Commands to operate the control system are made by an operator using the Main Automation System HMI. Main Automation System can only operate in Automatic Mode. Main Automation System sets the equipment control mode to Main Automation System control.

4.2.4

Normal Shutdown Sequence This section describes the group shutdown sequence. If the group has an automatic shutdown sequence, time delays to allow for equipment cleanout or deceleration will also be listed.

4.2.5

Abnormal and Emergency Shutdowns This section describes abnormal shutdown conditions caused by isolated process or equipment abnormalities or activation of individual equipment safety devices. It also describes emergency shutdowns due to automatic activation of personnel safety systems or field emergency stop pushbuttons.

4.2.6

Interlocks The Interlocks section describes all interlocks for the individual equipment or functional groups of equipment within the associated software function group. Interlock is defined herein as an

input/output signal or a Main Automation System/Main Automation System internal logic condition, which automatically prevents the operation of an individual or functional group of equipment from the Plant MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM HMI. When the condition of an interlock(s) is such that operation of a related piece of equipment or an equipment group is permitted, the interlock(s) is defined as being “satisfied.” Specific devices in the Interlock table may be preceded by “NOT”. This is the condition for the analog threshold (i.e. NOT Bearing Temperature High-High = Bearing Temperature is NOT ABOVE the High-High Set point). However, in the case of discrete switches the Interlock is stated from the “ON” perspective of the switch. For example the Oil Reservoir Low switch is ON when the oil level is NOT Low (fail-safe), so the required interlock is the switch being true Interlocks consist of five types and are described in detail below: Safety interlocks: Safety interlocks are those interlocks which prevent damage to that associated piece of equipment. As a result, safety interlocks apply when operating in “Automatic Mode”, “Manual Mode” and “Local Mode”. Example Safety interlock for a fan or pump would be “no high-high bearing temperature.” Safety interlocks for every motor will also include the “MCC/motor ready” signal and receipt of a run confirmation from the motor contactor after a run command is sent. These interlocks apply to all motors and are not listed in the interlock table for this reason. Start interlocks: Start interlocks are those interlocks necessary “ONLY” for starting the machine. As soon as the motor is running the start interlock has no influence. As a result, start interlocks apply when operating in “Automatic Mode”, “Manual Mode” and “Local Mode”. Example A start interlock for a fixed speed fan with automatic damper would be that the “damper be closed” (limit switch or position transmitter) prior to starting. Protective Interlocks: Protective interlocks are those interlocks for the protection of the motor itself. As a result, protective interlocks apply when operating in “Automatic Mode”, “Manual Mode” and “Local Mode”. Example A protective interlock for a crusher motor would be motor bearing temperature or motor winding temperature. Machine Interlocks: Machine interlocks are those interlocks for the protection of the machine that is operating in Automatic Mode. As a result, machine interlocks apply only when operating in “Automatic Mode”. Example A machine interlock for a belt conveyor would be a belt drift switch. Operational Interlocks: Operational interlocks are those interlocks that are related to the process, but not to the equipment, that is necessary for the normal operation of the item. As a result, operational interlocks apply only when operating in “Automatic Mode”. Example: An operational interlock would be downstream equipment running. 4.2.7

Dynamic Classifier (SEPAX) Cyclone Bag Filter ID Fans. 4.2.7.1 Ball mill Size reduction of Limestone-Anthracite coal mixture is carried out in Ball mill .The Gas-Solid mixture is swept to Dynamic Classifier after grinding. Temperature Scanner at the feed end and discharge end measures the inlet and outlet mill bearing temperature. Ball mill is equipped with internal liners and the balls are charged in different size from the ball charge hopper. 4.2.7.2 Hot air Generator The hot air generator uses furnace oil for combustion and serves the purpose of generating hot air to dry the limestone and Anthracite coal mixture. The hot air is supplied to the mill via a hot gas duct. 4.2.7.3 Dynamic Classifier Dynamic Classifier (SEPAX) separates the fine portion of ground material from gas solid mixture of Ball mill. The fines vented from the Classifier in the ascending air stream are further subjected for separation in a cyclone, bag house, subsequently being collected as the finished product. The Coarse particles are returned back to the Ball Mill. The Dynamic classifier is equipped with Variable Frequency Drive; the material fineness can be maintained by varying the rotor speed of Dynamic Classifier. Part of the Exhaust gases from Ball Mill ID Fan is recirculated to the system via recirculation damper to keep Gas-Solid mixture at the Ball mill outlet in suspension. 4.2.7.4 Cyclone Cyclone is a Gas-Solid separator that converts pressure energy into rotational momentum. The rotational momentum provides the centrifugal force to separate solids from a gas stream. In operation, Gas-solid mixture is fed to the cyclone and the centrifugal force generated causes the heavier suspended solids to move towards the wall while the radial velocity forces lighter solids to move inward towards the central axis. 4.2.7.5 Bag Filter The dust from the dust laden gases is collected in a bag house. The cleaned exhaust gases are vented to the atmosphere, through the stack. Whenever Ball mill exit gas temperature (measured by temperature transmitter) exceeds beyond set value, fuel to the Hot Air Generator is reduced for controlling inlet temperature of Bag Filter. 4.2.7.6 ID Fans The purpose of the Bag Filter ID fan is to vent the exhaust gases. The negative draught developed by the fan regulated by means of a louver damper. Ball Mill ID fan is equipped with Variable Speed Drive to regulate the air flow to the Dynamic classifier. 4.2.8

Operation Philosophy and Plant Sequencing Starting of the mill system is divided into a number of groups. Each drive/ equipment/ Valves in a particular group has a specified sequence of operation. Each group in itself has a specified

sequence of operation during start and stop. This means that no equipment can be started before the subsequent equipment has been started. Inversely, stop of any equipment will cause the stop of the preceding equipment, unless specified herein. This section outlines the division of groups; the basic terminology used in numbering of the groups, sequential Interlocks between groups and between equipment/ drives/ valves in every particular group. This section basically outlines the various process Interlocks that are to be satisfied for successful operation of a sequence. The operator has to ensure that the power source, remote selection etc., are properly ensured. In case, the same has not been ensured, the HMI would initiate the respective alarms as described in the earlier section(s)/ sub section(s). General Notes: a. Temperature, pressure, flow, level and any other process parameter set point will be adjusted and set during commissioning. Access to the set point is provided only for Engineers and not for the Operators. b. For all the analog inputs, trends are configured in the Main Automation System. c. All the electrical Interlocks for the drives and the feeders are not described in this document and shall be taken care in accordance with the general philosophy of the plant. d. Pressure switch is provided in the discharge line of all air slide fans for monitoring low pressure alarm in the Main Automation System. e. Considering the safety of the equipments, the AUTO changeover of any drives is not permitted in the mill and Dynamic classifier Lubrication system. f. During the Re-start of the plant after the power failure, the operator has to ensure that the mill drive is “ready for operation” before starting the mill discharge conveying group and Dynamic Classifier group to avoid overfilling of the material at the mill feed end and discharge end. (After starting the mill discharge group and Dynamic Classifier group, the mill drive has to be started immediately). g. After ensuring that the utilities are ready the operator initiates the starting of the plant. 4.2.9

Equipment Grouping The various sections of the plant are assigned group numbers to assist the definition of discrete areas of the plant. Groups can be started up individually in preparation for overall plant start-up. These numbers will also be used for plant start-up and commissioning planning activities. Details of the groups are included in the relevant sections. The total process is broken down into seven discrete groups to allow for easy description of the facilities. These are as follows: Group 1 – ID fan Group 2 – Product Handling System Group 3 – Mill ID Fan Group 4 – HAG Group 5 – Dynamic Classifier Group 6 – Ball Mill Group 7 – Feed System (Described in section 4.1)

4.2.9.4 Group-4 Hot Gas Generator System (R-02-1004, R-08-1003) 4.2.9.4.1

Group Description

The Limestone and Anthracite coal is dried by the hot air, supplied by hot gas generator (333 HG600 / B46203I).HGG is equipped with combustion air fan (333 FN610/46203J),dilution air fan (333FN620/42203IA) with inlet dampers (333TV621(46203ZB)/333 TV611(46203ZA)) respectively along with pumping and filtration unit (with standby arrangement). The HGG is a single shell construction, horizontal fired system, which can produce the rated quantity of hot air on continuous basis. The system works on 100% FO fuel and has a turndown ratio of 4:1 without changing the nozzle. Apart from heat generation, this system also caters the principle quantity of airflow required in the milling system. The fuel oil is pumped from a day oil tank (of 1m3 capacity) by a set of pumps (333FP656/B410031/333FP655/B41003-2) – one operating and the other standby. The filter unit (one operating + one stand by) at the suction end (SF 201/202) and the discharge end (DF201/202) of the pumps enable a clean flow of fuel to the burner valve stand and the HGG. Each filter unit (SF201/202) and (DF201/202) is installed with a filter clog indicating differential pressure switch (DPI 3003 & DPI 3007) respectively. 0.1kg/cm2 differential pressure gauge reading ensures that there is a clog at the discharge filter. The operator then turns the standby filter into operation for maintenance of the clogged filter. The fuel oil flow rate is controlled by a flow controlling valve (XV3014) and metered by a flow meter FM 201. The fuel oil is atomized by dry compressed air. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) forms the pilot gas for burning the fuel and is used during start up. An ignition transformer is used to create the heat flux to burn the pilot gas. An air assisted scavenging arrangement of the burner is used to clear off any residual fuel in the oil line between the main oil valve (XV3016) and the burner in the event of a burner failure. The flame is monitored by a flame scanner FS 901. The combustion air fan (333FN610/46203J) provides the required quantity of combustion air to meet the air – fuel demand. Dilution air fan (333FN620/42203IA) helps in controlling the gas temperature at HGG outlet. The pump suction and discharge valves, filter valves are manually operated. The valve stand is provided with manual valves. The operator has to check if the manually operated valves are in the right position before attempting to start the burner. 4.2.9.4.2

HGG Group 4 Equipment Summary

The HGG group mainly consist of the operation of the following drives: a. Combustion air fan (333FN610/46203J) b. Dilution air fan (333FN620/42203IA)

d) BMS PLC will monitor the combustion damper position and when the same remains between (25 to 30 %), “Purge Complete” lamp will stop flickering and glow steadily on Local panel. Respective message will be displayed on BMS and Main Automation System. Note: When given command of High fire or Low Fire, if respective combustion air damper position is not achieved within one minute, sequence will trip and Purge Sequence Fail alarm will appear on BMS and MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM. Operator has to start from Purge ready condition. 4.2.9.4.5

HGG burner start-up sequence

With Purge is completed and above mentioned startup condition satisfied, “Burner Ready to fire” indication lamp will be illuminated on Local Panel respective message will be displayed on BMS and Main Automation System. Now the operator could start the oil burner by pressing "BURNER START” Push button, either from Local Panel or HMI on BMS Panel or from Main Automation System (depending upon Local/BMS/MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM selection). If the burner start command has not been executed within 10 min of purge complete then Purge Cycle would trip and needs to be restarted. Now the operator has to execute Oil Burner start command (either from Local Panel or BMS Panel, as selected). This would initiate the following sequence: 1. Ignition Transformer will be energized for 15 seconds; LPG Solenoid Valve (XV3035) will also be energized to open and atomizing air shut off valve (XV3023) will be energized to open. Pilot flame will be established and "PILOT ON" & "IGNITION ON" indications will be illuminated on both Local as well as BMS Panel. 2. If flame will not be sensed by flame scanner (FS 901) within ignition period, then after ignition period with ignition transformer, pilot valve (XV3035) and atomising air shutoff valve (XV3023) will be de-energized and "FLAME FAILURE" annunciation will glow on BMS panel. Operator has to re-start the system from “PURGE READY” Cycle. 3. With Flame Sense by the scanner (FS901) during ignition period, "FLAME ON” indication will be illuminated on BMS panel & Local Panel. 4. Pilot solenoid valve (XV3035) will remain energised for another 30sec and “Pilot ON” indication will be illuminated on local panel, respective message will be displayed on BMS & Main Automation System. 5. Five seconds after the Pilot flame established and proved, oil main shut off valve (XV3016) will be energized to open. If Position of the valve will be proved (ZSO-3016), “BURNER ON” indicating lamp will flicker on the BMS panel & Local Panel. 6. After energizing main Oil (XV3016), pilot valve (XV3035) will remain in operation for another 30 sec. to establish main oil burner. After ignition period at any time if scanner FS 901 will not sense the flame then all the valves will be de-energized and both main as well as pilot burner will TRIP. And the system will go back to the “purge ready” condition after completion of scavenging cycle. 7. With flame proved by flame scanner (FS 901) (after energizing oil valves), “BURNER ON" indication will be illuminated on Local as well as BMS Panel. 8. After 45 seconds delay of main burner established and proved low fire hold on both oil Flow Control Valve (XV3014) and Combustion Air Damper (333.TV621) will be released and "BURNER ON" indicating lamp will glow steadily on Local as well as BMS Panel. The Combustion controller will now modulate the air Flow Control Valve to meet the demand. System will continuously monitor following interlocks and in case of failure of any one of below mentioned interlock, burner will trip and system will go back to ready for purge status.

Oil Gun Scavenging Cycle

Whenever the Oil Burner trips or withdrawn from service by pressing the "BURNER STOP” Push button, oil gun scavenging cycle for the burner will be initiated so that the oil line after Shut off valve (XV3016) is kept clean. Following sequence of operation would be adopted:a) After burner trip Oil shut off valve (XV3016) will be de-energized to close. Scavenging Cycle will be started only after close valve position proved (ZSC3016). b) Ignition transformer (IT), Pilot solenoid valve (XV3035) and atomizing line shut off (XV3023) would be energized for 15 seconds to establish the pilot flame. After 15 seconds, ignition transformer would be de-energized. If the flame proved during the pilot trial period, then the pilot valve (XV3035) will be kept in energized condition for 60 more seconds. c) Flame scanner will continuously check for the burner flame.

Group Description

The purpose of Dynamic Classifier (333SR 300/ B46203A) is to separate the grounded dust particles in to fines and coarse. The coarse particles are fed back to the mill for further grinding via single gravity flap valve (333 FV306/B46203K), air slide (333AS370/B6203L) and double gravity flap valve (333FV065/B46203Z). The fine particles are carried to product Cyclone (333 CN400/B46203B) where it is collected as a product. Dynamic Classifier is equipped with Variable Frequency Drive, Speed shall be varied for the desired the fines to be achieved in the product size. Solid flow meter (333FM380) located at the discharge of Airslide (333 AS370/B46203L) to measure the mass of the material recycle to the mill. The grease level LSL 6045 in the reservoir must be OK as shown by the absence of low level indication. With above healthy condition, and the controller in local / remote mode, the pump starts automatically and grease is pumped into the main line through the progressive distributor ZS 6047. The distributor is fitted with a visual indication and Monitoring switch. As soon as sufficient pressure PG 6046 builds up into the line, the distributor changes from 0 position to position 1 and actuates the Monitoring switch. The pump continues to pump grease into the other line and on attaining a certain pressure the distributor again changes over from position 1 back to position 0 and brings the limit switch back to starting position. This marks the completion of one cycle. At this point the pump will stop. After a pause (which is settable through a timer) the pump and the system will restart and complete the cycle as above. The cycle continues. In case Monitoring Switch fails to give signal before preset time of distributor fault timer then ‘Distributor Fault’ will generate. The starting position of the distributor could be either 0 or 1 since both are stable mechanical positions. If the starting position is 0, then the cycle operates as 0-1-0 and if the starting position is 1 then the cycle operates 1-0-1. The ON time of the timer is set in such a manner that the pump is switched off after the Monitoring switch comes back to the starting position which marks the end of one cycle. The OFF time decides the pause between two consecutive cycles. 4.2.9.5.2

Capacity of the sump tank is 250 litres. Tank utilizes 2 drain lines from bearing ("dirty hot oil") housing for oil return to the tank by gravity. This passes through a basket strainer which is accessible through a hinged inspection door for easy cleaning. Each return line is fitted with an oil flow sight glass. The correct oil temperature in the sump tank is maintained by 3 kW heater elements, monitored by a Temperature transmitter (TT6008). The heater operates between oil temperatures of 32-38. From a cold start-up, the 3kW heater will raise the oil temperature from 15–38 within 2-3 hrs. An oil level transmitter (LT6007) is Interlocked for oil level monitoring. If oil level drops below the 15% of tank height, all auxiliary equipment must be tripped (pump motors & heater). An alarm is raised if the oil level drops below 25% of tank height. The oil level sight glass fitted to the tank gives visual indication of oil level & temperature. Air breather / filter allow clean air to enter the tank. Drain valve plug is available to drain the tank, when required. Access to the tank internals is gained by removing the tank lid, which is bolted down. Conditioning & LP Circuit The sump tank is fitted with 2 LP oil gear pumps (One Working & One Standby) integral pressure relief valves (PSV6003 & PSV6034) (set @ 20 bar), driven by a 3 kW TEFC electric motor. The pump suction is isolated from the tank via a ball valve; discharge end is isolated via a non return and ball valve. The oil flow rate in the LP circuit is 47 lpm, which is monitored by pressure gauges, flow transmitter (FIT6032), temperature gauges and oil temperature transmitter (TT6012) exiting the cooler. If the oil flow falls below 36 lpm, an alarm is raised. Oil exiting the cooler should be maintained @ 50oC, and an alarm is raised if it is higher than 590C. The “dirty & hot oil" from the sump tank is pumped to a high capacity LP duplex filter and thereafter, to a Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE). The duplex filter unit is fitted with filter clogged visual indication and electrical differential pressure transmitter (DPI6025), which indicates the operator to "change-over' of the clean unit on-line, thereafter, to replace the clogged filter element with a new / cleaned element, bleeding the filter bowl & equalizing the filter pressure. A manual valve controls water flow through the cooler, the water flow rate monitored by the rotameter flow meter, maintaining an oil temperature exiting the cooler 50 degC. Temperature gauges before and after the cooler give visual indication of oil. Water temperature & Pressure gauges before and after the cooler monitors its pressure and temperature respectively. The conditioned oil (clean & cool oil) exits the cooler and is fed to the field LP circuit; the oil flow is split into 50-50 to feed the 2 hydrodynamic bearings LP port, 22 lpm each. If the flow drops below 16 lpm, an alarm is raised. An oil flow transmitter (FIT6001 & FIT6002) visually monitors and inter-locked with the PLC for low & low-low flow. The conditioning & LP circuits should run continuously, even when the mill is stopped. HP Jacking System: The HP radial piston pumps (One Working & One Standby) are isolated from the sump tank by ball valves and protected against over-pressure by an individual pressure relief valve (PSV6015/18/19/23) per outlet, set @ 310 bar. Non return and ball valves isolate the pump feed lines, and a pressure gauge gives visual pressure monitoring. The 2.2 kW TEFC motors will be tripped when the pressure exceeds 350 bar, or drop below 50 bar. The HP oil is pumped to the mill bearings jacking pocket, to “lift” the journal off the bearing, creating on oil film. Oil pressure transmitters (PT 6004/6006) and gauges are fitted for visual and PLC Interlocking for HP system jacking pressure. Each bearing is fed by an independent HP jacking line, @ 1.5 lpm each and 310 bar. HP jacking > 250 bar, hydrostatic < 60 bar with loaded mill standing and hydrodynamic between 25

Group 6B –Mill Main Drive and grease spray lubrication system (P&ID: R-02-1007)

Group 6B Description: Ball Mill drive Lime stone and Anthracite Coal mixture size reduction takes place in ball mill (333BM 100/B46203). The off gases with materials are directed to Dynamic Classifier (333SR 300/B46203A). The heavy materials recycled from Dynamic Classifier to the ball mill via sluice flap (333FV 306/B46203K), Air slide (333AS 370/B46203L) and sluice flap (333FV 065/B46203Z). The operator has to ensure that the Mill is not operated without feed material. Ball Mill Inching Mode It is to be noted that inching drive engage or disengage status has also to be monitored locally. A proximity Switch (ZSC2018) is provided in the jaw clutch coupling to ensure the disengage before the start-up of the mill main motor. Grease Spray System As soon as the mill main motor runs, the PLC will energizes the 3/2 way air solenoid valve which operates the pneumatic grease pump, and a monitoring timer is activated. The grease is pumped through the grease strainer via the tubing to the SLAVE distributor, which in turn discharges fixed quantities of grease into all 5 nozzles. Once this cycle is complete, the indicator pin on the slave distributor will activate the limit switch which re-sets the monitoring timer T1 and the PLC will energize the 2/2 way air spray solenoid for a set time period (time required for the mill to do 1 full revolution, approx. 4 sec. plus time required complete the 6 distributor cycles) The air pressure switch (PSL6038) in the air line will confirm to the PLC that the solenoid valve is operational and that the plant air pressure is sufficient. The grease pump runs for the duration of the set pulses, pulsed by the distributor limit switch (ZSO). As soon as the pulses are complete, i.e. 6 pulses, the PLC will de-energize the pump solenoid valve and the system is put on PAUSE for a set time period (10 minutes). The indicator pin will not activate the limit switches if: a. No grease flow to the nozzles occurs b. The nozzles are blocked c.

The pipeline is broken / blocked

d. The distributor and/or limit switch is faulty

e. The grease strainer is blocked The air pressure switch PSL6038 will fail to signal the PLC if the 2/2 way solenoid valve is faulty, or if the plant air pressure is low or off line. The pressure gauge gives visual indication of the system air & grease pressure. The pump should trip if no pulses are generated from the distributors, or the air pressure switches are not activated. The mill should then also trip. 4.2.9.6.9

Stop Grease spray pump (333GS137)

d. After 10minutes stop HP pump NOTE: Group 6 Interlocks are also applicable when the mill is run using Inching Drive.

4.2.9.7 Mill System safety Interlocks The following additional Interlocks are required for the safety of the equipments and safe operation of the mill: a. Group 4 should stop if Mill ID fan (333FN450/ B46203F) trips b. Suction damper (333LD451/B46203FA) closes to 100% if Mill ID fan (333FN450/B46203F) trips. c.

Safety Interlocks for Bag filter (333 BF500/B46203N) dampers are described below:

The damper (333.BV545/B46203H) will be installed at the inlet of the Bag Filter. The damper (333.BV546/B46203U) will be installed at the outlet of the Bag Filter. These dampers need to be zero leak proof and fast acting (quick shut-off) so that when the inertisation system (CO2 / N2) / fire extinguishing system is activated, N2/CO2 does not leak out in to the process duct work. Hence, these dampers require fast acting pneumatic actuators. If the dampers (inlet & outlet) are closed as soon as the CO2 / N2 system is activated, there will be an immediate pressure build-up in the Bag Filter. Hence, to avoid the pressure build-up in the system, the inlet damper (333.BV545/B46203H) will close immediately after the N2/CO2 system is activated. The outlet damper (333.BV546/B46203U) will close 90% as soon as the N2/CO2 system is activated. After the N2/CO2 is completely discharged in to the Bag Filter, a signal will be received from the CO2 system. At this time the damper (333.BV546/B46203U) will be closed for the remaining 10% and is now seal tight.

The initial 90% closing and delay in closing final 10% will be done by mounting two pneumatic cylinders back to back. First air cylinder is activated on receiving signal and it will close damper 90%, then second air cylinder after receiving signal will close damper remaining 10 % to seal it tight. The damper shall also be complete with fail-safe design which shall close damper upon loss of air and electric control signal and provide low air pressure alarm signal. For inlet damper (333.BV545/B46203H), proximity switches shall be provided for indication of open ZSO2072 and closed ZSC2072 positions. For outlet damper (333.BV546/B46203U), proximity switches shall be provided for indication of open ZSO2080, 90% closed ZSC2080 (90%) and closed positions ZSC2080. 4.2.9.7.1

Emergency Power

Emergency power availability is envisaged for the following drives. •

Mill main bearing lubrication system (333 LQ110)



Mill Cooling water control system

The above drives should continue to run / start immediately when there is a power failure. The operator can decide and stop the system based on the requirement. HGG-Closed Control Loop: Dilution Air Damper Control: a. Dilution Air Damper actuator will be operated with respect to the HGG outlet temp. Increase in HGG outlet temperature will increase the damper opening (towards open position) and decrease in HGG outlet temperature will decrease the damper opening (towards close position). b. The outlet temperature of the HGG will be sensed by Thermocouple (TC3033) and converted in 4-20mA by Temp. Transmitter (TT3033) provided at the HGG outlet & the signal will be fed into BMS PLC as input to control loop. The control loop needs to be configured in the BMS PLC c.

Damper can be controlled either in Manual mode or in Auto Mode. BMS will generate the 420mA signal for controlling the damper. The dilution air damper position can be read from the HMI provided on the BMS Panel for Indication. 4-20mA signals for pneumatic damper position will be generated by BMS.

FUEL OIL FLOW AND COMBUSTION AIR FLOW CONTROL LOOP a. Fuel Oil flow along with the combustion air damper position could be increased or decreased by the operator manually depending on the requirement. b. 4-20mA generated from the BMS will be fed into I/P converter & the Pneumatic signal from the I/P converter will be fed into fuel oil flow Control valve and combustion air damper pneumatic actuator. c.

100% heat duty and corresponding comb. Air flow is furnished in the P& ID.

d. In order to maintain the ratio between the firing rate and combustion air flow (same throughout the firing rate), a characteristics for fuel oil flow control valve opening Vs Combustion air damper opening shall be prepared at the time of commissioning of HGG system and the operator shall operate the HGG thereafter as per the said characteristics. e. The position of control valve and combustion air damper could be read from the HMI on BMS Panel. f.

Operator should ensure that combustion air flow is increased followed by fuel oil flow during increasing demand & the oil flow is decreased followed by combustion air flow during

decreasing demand. (Lead-lag control between fuel oil and combustion air) PHF UNIT LOGIC a. Before starting the process, operator has to start Oil pump 1 or 2 (as per selection from Main Automation System). b. Before starting any of the pumps, Main Automation System will check day Oil tank level not low. If the same is unhealthy operator has to first fill-up the tank up to sufficient level. If the pump is not able to deliver sufficient pressure at Pump outlet (PG3004) then operator should start the second pump and stop the first one. c.

Along with the pump, operator has to start line heater-1 or 2 (depending on the selection from Main Automation System). Line Heater is used to keep PHF unit outlet oil temperature at 120°C. This is achieved with the help of Temperature indicating switch mounted at the outlet of each heater (TIS 3006 and TIS 3005 respectively). There are two set-points (First Set-point at 118°C and Second Set-point at 120°C) in each TIS. These set-points are taken as an interlock in MCC Panel (by client) for controlling ON-OFF operation of each bank of Line Heaters. Line heaters (1 and 2) are consisting of two banks each (Bank-1 of 9 kW and Bank-2 of 6 kW).

d. Along with Temperature indicating switch, both Line Heaters are also provided with 1 no. Thermostat, which will be used to trip electrical heater in case the temperature inside electrical heater rises above 130°C. This is used for protection of Electrical heater. This needs to be terminated to MCC Panel in electrical heater trip circuit. 4.2.10 Control Philosophy 4.2.10.1 Introduction The system operation is evaluated on a continuous basis with the help of the various instruments in the system. The major control parameters and controlling Variables are vital for smooth operation of the system. This section details on the various control parameters and controlling Variables. This section also describes various abnormal control operations that would be required from time to time as the system may demand and that could either be programmed or the operator can initiate a manual control of the parameters. 4.2.10.2 Control modes The control modes are either MAN or AUTO. In MAN mode, the operator does all initiatives as the system may demand or the situation deems. The AUTO mode is a programmed operation of the control. The AUTO mode can either be a sequence of operation or an automatic control of Variables and controlling the parameters. The AUTO mode having sequence of operation may be applied to both normal and abnormal operation and more often with abnormal conditions and used as safe guards of equipment and system. The AUTO mode on controllable Variables and controlling parameters are generally structured control loops of PID control nature and applied during normal operation of the system. 4.2.10.3 PID controller units The following controller units will be required: 1. Standard 2. Cascade 3. Ratio 4.2.10.4 PID controller operational description The standard PID controller allows intelligent analogue control of field equipment. That is, a required set point for a PV is entered and the PID controller attempts to modulate field equipment

to achieve this set point. 4.2.10.5 PID controller unit structure A standard PID controller will have the following requirements: 1. Mode of selection 2. Failsafe operation 3. Alarm generation and masking 4. Bad PV handling 4.2.10.6 Mode selection All PID controller units will have the following modes of operations: 1.

Manual - the controller output is directly set by the CRO. 4.2.10.7 Fail safe mode In the event that the PV drifts out of range to an unsafe Value, the controller unit will divert to manual mode and a failsafe output. The PV must be corrected and the controller unit placed in auto before the output will again function in auto control. 4.2.10.8

Alarm generation and masking

In addition to alarms generated for the Bad PV, alarms will also be generated for excessive deviation from the set point. The deviation alarms will include dead band levels to prevent spurious operation. Any masking requirements for controller units will be more complex than for analogue devices because the masking is based on process conditions. PV alarm masking may be implemented for each individual limit, based on different process conditions. The alarm masking is defined in the PID Controller Functional Descriptions. 4.2.10.9 Bad PV handling If a Bad PV is detected in either the control loop of the Standard controller unit or the slave loop of a Cascade or Ratio controller unit, the output of that unit will be set to the fail-safe Value specified in the Functional Description and then the unit will be tripped into manual mode and an alarm will be generated. If a Bad PV is detected on the master loop of a Cascade or Ratio controller unit when the unit is in cascade or ratio mode, the controller will set the output (i.e. slave set point) to the failsafe Value and unit will be tripped into auto (disabled) mode and an alarm will be generated. If the unit is already operating in auto (disabled), or manual mode the unit will not be affected. 4.2.10.10 System Control A PID loop can use any or a combination of controller (proportional, integral or differential) for controlling the auto mode operation. 4.2.10.11 Draft indication at the mill outlet gas duct, feed end and across bag house These draft indication will quickly point out any blockage in the system and where it occurs. The operator can take corrective actions based on these data. The draft indicators are mill outlet gas PI 2021 mill feed end PI 2010, Bag filter inlet PI 2049 and Bag house outlet PI 2054. 4.2.10.12 Bag house inlet temperature control These temperature indications will point out any blockage in the system and where it occurs. The operator can take corrective actions based on these data. The temperature indicators are installed at mill exhaust gas TI 2030, Bag filter inlet TI 2050 and Bag filter outlet TI 2055.

4.2.10.13 Feed Control The desired set value of feed is given in the MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM. The in built PID controller in the Limestone & Anthracite Coal weigh-feeder (JSPL Scope) panel varies the belt speed to achieve the desired target value. This mode of operation also called gravimetric mode, is the desired mode of feed control by the weigh-feeder. This mode of operation can independently maintain the mass flow rate irrespective of changes in feed granulometry, bulk density or moisture. The weigh-feeder can also enable to operate in the volumetric mode in which the belt speed will be fixed as set point. This is a direct control on the weigh-feeder belt and does not respond to the physical changes (like granulometry, bulk density etc.) in the raw material. Volumetric mode operation is possible only from the feeder panel. This PID loop is generally a part of the complete system in the weigh-feeder locally situated control panel and might not require any programming in the centralized control system unless specified. However, the centralized control system will have provisions to give material flow (in TPH wet) set point. 4.2.10.14

Pneumatic Conveying System for Grounded Coal/Limestone (R-02-1005) (Inputs received from package vendor Macawber) A pneumatic conveying system is installed for Coal/Limestone transfer in the Additive Grinding Building. The MACAWBER Model 75/12 “Denseveyor” is a low velocity, dense phase pneumatic conveying system that consists of a Pneumatic transfer feed Hopper (B43303), a Transport Vessel with a dome valve, terminal box, automatic controls and a local control panel. The relatively low velocities employed minimize conveying air consumption, conveying pipe wear and the size of dust collection system on the receiving end. The expected capacities of flow for the two additives are as follows: Additive (TPH)

The Pneumatic Transfer System receives solid material from the Additive Grinding Mill and must be activated during the Mill start-up procedure. Dry, fine additives flow to the Pneumatic System Feed Hopper from the Grinding System Cyclone and Dust Collector. The Feed Hopper is equipped with high and low level switches. When the Feed Hopper is full, the high level switch signals the central system to open the vent valve on the Transport Vessel and position the dome valve in the fill position. Material then flows from the Feed Hopper into the Transport Vessel until it is full. This dome valve is a patented MACAWBER design which reliably closes and seals through either a static or dynamic column of material. When the filling cycle is complete, the dome valve closes and the Transport Vessel is pressurized with dry compressed air at a controlled rate. The conveying gas is introduced at the top and bottom of the Transport Vessel and transfers the material to the appropriate Additive Storage Bin. As a standard configuration, there shall be a manual knife gate valve (KGV) at the outlet of the hopper for maintenance of any Denseveyor components. This shall be followed by the Dome Valve and the Denseveyor package complete with its set of Instrumentation controls. A low level probe mounted in the Hopper's conical section will signal the presence of material which will cause the Dome Valve to open and the material to fill the vessel. The Dome Valve will then close and seal. Compressed air / nitrogen will be introduced into the vessel which will aerate the material and material will be conveyed to the Reception storage silo via the conveying pipeline and terminal box. Entire operation of the Pneumatic Conveying System shall be automated. A Reverse pulse jet filter mounted on top of each reception silo will filter & separate gas/material from each other. The logic for the working of the pneumatic conveying system is as follows: (a) A start command from PLC/Main Automation System is given (b) Once the start command is given, a check is made for convey pressure through pressure switch. If pressure is low, then an alarm is generated. (c) If convey pressure is sufficient, a check is made for instrument pressure through pressure switch. If pressure is low, then an alarm is generated.

(d) If the above condition is satisfied along with sufficient level of feed hopper for conveying and Bypass timer not on, a check is made for discharge silo level (is not high) and diff pressure across venting arrangement is normal (50-70mmWG). If level is high and if diff pressure is high, alarms are generated. (e) If discharge silo level is low and venting diff pressure is ok as mentioned above, material inlet dome valve and vent dome valve SOVs are energized. (f) After the valves are energized, a check is made for seal confirmation through the pressure switches for inlet dome and vent valves. If there is not sufficient pressure, an alarm is generated. (g) If there is sufficient pressure, then solenoid valve is energized which will start the material conveying. (h) When the material conveying starts, a timer for minimum blow for duration of 15 sec and a timer for pipe blocked for duration of 75 sec starts. (i) After both timers duration is over, a check for low pressure is made via the pressure transmitter. If pressure is high, an alarm is generated for pipe blocked and the system is taken into manual operation. (j) If the pressure is low, then convey on SOV is de-energized and seal delay timer for inlet and vent dome valve starts. (k) When the seal delay timer is over, seal SOV for Inlet dome and vent valve is de-energized and the timer is again restarted for another round of conveying operation. Coal and Lime stone Storage Bin (B43501) is equipped with two load cells and a weight indicator (WI) which produces an indirect measurement of the solids level in the bin. If the bin level reaches total capacity, the WI sounds an alarm and shuts down the Pneumatic Conveying System. High, High level from both Pneumatic transfer feed Hopper and Coal and Lime stone Storage Bin will stop the additive grinding system. 5.0

Iron Ore Filter Cake Storage Bin – Discharge Rate Control (P&ID: R-03-1001) Discharge from the ore storage bin is controlled by a weigh belt feeder. Weight and speed signals are received by weight transmitters (WIT 3111/3121). The actual weight flow rate is controlled by the weight indicating controller (Loop No: WIC 3111/3121). Provision for both automatic and manual control is envisaged from the main automation system logic controller WIC-0400. The controller compares the actual weight flow rate to the set point and adjusts the variable speed drive for the weigh belt feeder to achieve the required flow rate. The set point is the desired flow rate manually set through the Main Automation System. The Main Automation System totalizes the flow rate with time and displays both instantaneous weight flow rate and totalized flow. The weigh belt feeder is equipped with conveyor safety switches. Alarms from these are displayed at the DCS. The Dry Ore Storage Bin (B43506) can also supply through Rotary Weigh Feeder (B55005) to the Mixer Feed Conveyor MF-11 (B43026) with the same philosophy as mentioned above. This bin is filled from a Pneumatic Transfer System (by JSPL).

Ground Bentonite Storage Bin -- Discharge Rate Control (P&ID: R-03-1003) Discharge from Bentonite storage bin (B43504) is controlled by a loss in weight feeder (B55003) fitted with a geared motor. The actual weight flow rate is controlled by the weight indicating controller (Loop No: WIC - 3311). Provision for both automatic and manual control is envisaged from the main automation system logic controller WIC-0400. The controller compares the actual weight flow rate to the set point and adjusts the geared motor on the LIW feeder to achieve the required flow rate. The set point is the desired flow rate manually input through the DCS. The DCS totalizes the flow rate with time and displays both instantaneous weight flow rate and totalized flow.

5.4

Ore And Additives -- Proportion Control Required feed rates can be calculated off line and entered manually as set points at the Main Automation system for each controller to achieve the desired total feed rate and proportioning on a dry basis. The Main Automation system can also automatically calculate the required feed rates as remote set points to the controllers. The Main Automation system controls the feed rates of iron ore filter cake (10% H2O), coal + limestone and bentonite to achieve a total desired feed rate of these components in their desired proportions. The Main Automation system interface permits the operator to enter the desired total feed rate, component fractions for bentonite and coal + limestone. The ore fraction equals one minus the sum of the bentonite and coal + limestone fractions.

belt conveyors (B43087-1,-2) with weigh scales (WIC-03B3111 and WIC-03B3112) and Rotary Weigh Feeder (B55005). Additives, Coal/Limestone, Bentonite, and Organic Binder are metered by loss-in-weight feeders (B55001, B55003, and B55004) onto the Mixer Feed Conveyor MF-11 (B43026), which will discharge into a vertical mixer (B45110). Individual start-up of blended ore conveyors FCF-11& 12 and mixer feed conveyor MF-11 will depend on healthy signal from the safety switches placed on the conveyors. 5.6.2

Mixer Function (Preliminary description furnished. Details awaited from Mixer vendor Eirich) Mixing pan rotates with eccentrically positioned rotating mixing rotors and fixed multi-purpose tool as flow deflector. The multi-purpose tool divides and deviates the material stream. Split material streams are created and produce a macromixing effect. The rotor acts upon the circulating material stream which is caused by mixing pan and flow deflector and produces a micromixing effect.

5.6.3

Mixed Material Handling The Green Fines Return conveyor (GFR-11B) (B43042) deposits fines returns along with mixer discharge to the Mixed Ore Conveyor MO-12 (B43026). The MO-11 (B43027) conveyor transfers material to MO-12 (B43026) and MO-13 (B43032), and MO-14. At this point, the appropriate belt plow will dump mixed material to Balling Disc Feed Bins (B16215-1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6) or directly to Balling Disc Feed Bin 7 (B16215-7). MO-13 will discharge into mixed ore conveyor MO-14. Individual start-up of mixed ore conveyors MO-11, 12, 13 & 14 and green fines return conveyor GFR-11B will depend on healthy signal from the safety switches placed on each conveyor. Mixer will start / stop once MO-11 starts / stops. Group start in a sequential manner (MO-14 MO-13  MO-12  MO-11) will depend on the lower level signal of the Balling disc feed bins and / or healthy signal from conveyor safety switches. Emergency stop of the conveyors and mixer will result from unhealthy signal from conveyor safety switches and / or HH alarm from all bin level transmitters.

Pellet Formation

6.1.1

Process Description In order to obtain an end product of good quality fired pellets, it is necessary to have uniformly sized, adequately strong “green balls”. The balling disc is the mechanical means of forming these agglomerates. A feed mix of finely ground ore, fluxes and moisture, and a binder, combine in a rolling action of the disc to form these green balls. The ore mixture received from the mixing area is deposited in the seven balling feed bins, from the transporting conveyor, by means of sequence controlled plows. It is then withdrawn from the bins, at a controlled rate, by the disc feed conveyor and fed to the balling disc, which is rotating about an axis of 45 to 50 degrees to the horizontal. The disc’s rotation carries the feed material to the top of the disc where, under its own weight, the particles roll back towards the bottom. Fine sprays of water are directed at the rolling mass as it descends. The particles of ore, coated with water, collide with adjacent particles and, because of the surface tension effects of the water coating, combine to form larger particles and start to form

“seed pellets”, which comprise the nucleus of the pellet. Further rolling in the disc causes the “seeds” to grow. Within the disc charge, the balls segregate into flow paths according to size and density, the smaller and less dense particles being carried, by the rotation, closer to the top of the disc before falling back under their own weight. As the “seeds” become larger they gradually migrate from the disc bottom to the charge surface achieving the desired product size range. At this time they reach the lip of the disc sidewall and overflow to the green pellet- collecting conveyor. This is a continuous operation as long as balling feed is continually introduced to the disc. The rate of growth of the green balls can be controlled by the disc speed and the addition of spray water as necessary. However, too much spray water addition will result in the production of oversize and wet plastic balls which will tend to deform on their passage to the furnace. Too little moisture in the balling mix will restrict the formation of seeds and result in a build-up of unagglomerated material in the disc and a dry, friable, undersize product. The correct disc axis angle must be established during startup. This angle combined with the disc speed establishes the most beneficial balling path for the material. The discs will be initially set at 47 degrees. In summary, the operator controlled parameters which govern the balling operation are primarily feed moisture, disc speed, feed rate, and water spray location. Additional parameters usually determined at startup are disc angle, the point at which feed is introduced to the disc, and plow location and angle. Ore size structure, Blaine particle surface area, and level of binder additive are also important factors for quality balling feed. The seven (7) balling discs discharge onto seven (7) green pellet conveyors GP-11A through GP11G which in turn discharge the pellets to collecting conveyor GP-12. Conveyor GP-12 transports the green pellets to the indurating area. There, the pellets are transferred to wide belt conveyor GP-14 which then deposits the pellets onto the upper roller conveyor (B43037E). The function of the upper roller conveyor is to screen out oversize balls. The lower roller conveyor screens undersize green balls before finally depositing product size green balls onto the grate for induration. The oversize green pellets screened at the upper roller conveyor are passed through a shredder where they are broken into fines and added to the green fines screened at the lower roller conveyor. The total stream is recycled to the mixer discharge stream for feed to the balling disc feed bins. 6.1.2

Control Philosophy (P&ID: R-04-1001 to R-04-1004)

6.1.2.1 Balling Bin Plow Feed System Each of the seven (7) balling feed bins mounted on load cells are filled from conveyor MO 14 using belt discharge plows (B48004-1 to 6). Bin levels are indicated on the Main Automation system. The plows are lowered to the conveyor one at a time to deflect the mixed ore into the bin as it passes the lowered plow. Each plow is equipped with position switches, up and down. They signal the Main Automation System which indicates to the control room operator the position of each plow. The plows are operated in manual mode. In manual mode, the operator raises and lowers the plows to suit. A full (High, High) bin will cause its plow to raise or prevent the bin filling system from lowering its plow. When all bins are full, conveyor MO-14 will stop. Low bin levels are indicated by alarms only. They provide sufficient time for the operator to take corrective action. Alarms are provided to indicate High bin levels so that the operator has sufficient time to take corrective action and avoid High High level.

6.1.2.2 Balling Disc Feed There are seven balling circuits, each consisting of a balling feed bin; a variable speed disc feed conveyor, BDF-11A to G, with a belt scale, a balling disc and a disc discharge conveyor, GP-11A to G. Mixed ore is withdrawn from each bin by the variable speed conveyor controlled by a weight indicating controller in conjunction with the belt weigh scale (Loop No: WIC0106/4101/0203/0223/0303/0323/0403). The controlling parameters of balling discs are disc feed rate as indicated above, manually adjusted disc spray water addition and manually adjusted disc rotational speed (rpm). Spray water addition is automatically stopped when the balling disc stops. Each disc is equipped with field rotational speed indication, spray water flow indication, and disc position tilt angle. 6.1.2.3 Start-Up There are three cases to consider: -

Initial disc start-up

-

Starting a disc under full load

-

Starting a disc that has been “cleaned out” (operated for several minutes without feed prior to shutdown).

A new disc must have its mesh lining filled in with mixed ore (bedded). A mixed ore material with elevated bentonite (2-3%) and moisture (10-12%) contents should be used for this “bedding” procedure. The disc should be operated at low speed (<4rpm) and feed rate (<50tph) during this procedure. As the mesh begins to fill in, the disc speed and feed rate can be adjusted as required to produce a stable disc lining (both floor and walls). As the mesh is filled, disc scraper position must be evaluated and adjustments made as required. When starting a disc which has a full load of ore on it, the moisture content of ore load must be evaluated. (E.g. How long has the disc been down? How dry is the ore in it?) Based on this evaluation the amount of spray water initially turned on and whatever time lag, if any, between starting the disc and the feed conveyor must be determined. Constant monitoring of the disc for the first few minutes of operation is required as adjustments are made until steady state is achieved regarding spray water addition, disc speed and disc feed rate. When starting a “cleaned out” disc, initial disc speed, spray water addition and feed rate should be at levels just slightly below normal settings for the ore mixture being processed. (Spray water addition must account for the dryness of the bed.) As the disc fills up constant monitoring is required to insure proper green ball formation. Once the disc begins to discharge material then adjustments for speed, feed rate and spray water can be made to achieve steady state operation. Balling discs have variable speed drives with individual speed controls. All the settings mentioned above will be determined by the commissioning engineer of the package supplier. Individual start-up of each balling disc will be in the following sequence,

a) Green pellet conveyor, GP-11A thru G (B43031-1 thru 7) will start first provided Green pellet collecting conveyor GP-12 (B43034) running and healthy signal from conveyor safety switches. b) Balling disc (B46005-1 thru 7) will start up on receiving running signal from Green pellet conveyor. c)

Once balling disk starts high pressure water solenoid valves will be open.

d) Balling disc feed conveyor, BDF-11A thru G will start once balling disc starts and healthy signal from conveyor safety switches. In order to process different ore types, balling disc speed, scraper position, water sprays, disc angle, and feed point will be adjustable. Normally, only minor adjustments to water addition and disc speed will be needed to produce good quality green pellets. Following the initial setup for the disc, the other adjustments will be necessary only when there is a significant change in the ore characteristics. Speed is adjusted by field operator. Other adjustments are manual. 6.1.2.4 Normal Operations The balling disc is used to form pre-wetted ore into nominal 1/2" diameter balls called "green balls" or "green pellets". The strength of the green pellet is determined by the natural surface tension of water and other adhesive forces, causing capillary action of the water in the spaces between the small particles of ore. The finer the material, the more the adhesive forces are capable of forming strong agglomerates. A controlled amount of pre-wetted ore is fed to the balling disc. The rolling action on the disc initially forms seed pellets which grow larger by picking up additional particles of new feed as they roll across the disc. Based upon controlled disc parameters, the pellet then discharges at the desired diameter or product size over the lip of the disc. The process parameters necessary for a controlled continuous disc operation are:

-

Constant disc feed rate Constant disc feed moisture (±0.2%) Constant material size (% minus 45 microns) 2 Constant material fineness (cm /g-Blaine surface area) Disc Speed (R.P.M.) rate. Disc slope (angle) Feed location Water spray location (for additional moisture if needed) Disc side wall height

In order to sustain controlled continuous operation, it is also necessary to maintain the bottom and side scrapers so that a uniform smooth and level coating is maintained on these surfaces. Ridges on the bed change the pattern of the material and cause some breakage of the pellets. When analyzing the operation of a disc, it helps to think of the material rolling down the disc as three distinct streams as shown in the illustration: Stream No. 1 contains on-size and near-size product, Stream No. 2 contains intermediate size balls, and Stream No. 3 contains seed balls and free fines.

A good operator will learn how the three streams look under normal operation, and take corrective action when a change becomes apparent in the third or second stream. If corrective action is delayed until an upset is apparent in the product, stable operation will be difficult to achieve. When the disc is operating in a continuous or steady state condition, the on size discharge rate will equal the new feed material rate to the disc. The discharge size analysis will remain very stable as long as the moisture content of the feed material does not vary. If the moisture content of the feed material to the disc is not controlled, the disc will operate in an inconsistent manner. If the feed material moisture increases slightly, the pellets on the disc will increase in size. This takes a little time but the product being discharged will be larger. To correct this: -

If water is being added on the disc, reduce the amount of water addition. This should be done in steps, rather than cutting all of the water. Wait for the change to take effect. This can take from ten to twenty minutes to see the results.

-

If no water is being added, increase the feed rate slightly. A rule of thumb is to not add more than 10% of the feed rate at one time.

If the feed material moisture increases quite a bit, + 0.5% or more, the pellets on the disc will increase in size very rapidly. Usually the on-size pellets will travel to the second and at times the third stream. When this happens the larger pellets pick up the seeds and any fines available on the disc. The disc fills with over-size product, the discharge rate is reduced, the seed formation and intermediate size pellet growth is eliminated. Unless immediate steps are taken, this condition will continue. To improve this condition: (Record water flow meter readings, and return to original settings when material is back to normal conditions). - If water is being added on the disc, turn off all sprays. This will help to stop pellet growth, but further changes are usually necessary. - Check the RPM rate and reduce the rate. This reduces the retention time of the material on the disc. (Return to original RPM rate when material returns to normal). These are operator controlled (near term) changes. If the above changes are not adequate, more involved changes are required. Change the feed location. By moving the feed location farther from the first stream to the second or third stream operator can reduce the size of pellets on the disc. (Return to original location when material returns to normal).

If the pellets are still too large the operator has one option left. He can change the disc angle. This change should be done in one degree increments, for example change from 47 to 48. When operator changes the angle, he usually has to make slight adjustments to the r.p.m to balance the disc operation. If the operator increases the angle, he needs to increase the RPM slightly. (Return to original setting when material returns to normal). When the feed material is very wet it is not a good idea to increase the feed rate. The disc carries a heavy load of material and classification is very poor. If the feed material moisture decreases slightly, the pellets on the disc will decrease in size. This change also takes time. Operator will have time to make changes without upsetting the disc operation. To correct this condition, take a reading on the flow meter, then increase the amount of water addition on the disc. This should be the only change needed. Allow sufficient time to see the results (Return to normal setting when material returns to normal). If the feed to the disc quickly becomes very dry, if water is not immediately increased, the on size product will discharge very quickly and the disc will be filled with seeds. With a disc full of seeds it can take up to 30 minutes to sufficiently wet the seeds to force pellet growth. In some cases it may also be necessary to reduce the disc feed rate to compensate for the feed moisture loss. When bringing the disc back from a dry condition, it is very important to reduce the high volume of spray water at the correct time or the pellets could grow very quickly due to their wet state. If the pellets grow larger than desired, reduce the spray water in steps rather than all at once. The disc could again go dry, discharging the growing pellets and leaving only a disc full of seeds again. Controlling the disc water sprays is really a balancing operation which requires observation and a lot of patience by the disc operator. Knowledge of disc feed material and the proper water addition with the sprays can only be gained by experimenting and observing the reaction of the total disc and the final results. 6.1.2.5 Summary Rules for reasonably constant feed on a continuous disc operation: -

Watch the total disc pattern when you are operating under stable conditions. If the feed changes it will affect the third and second streams before it is noticed at the discharge point. If operator makes minor adjustments when the change occurs, the disc will continue to operate in a stable condition.

-

If operator watches only the eye of the disc or the discharge point, by the time a change affects this area, it is too late to compensate for the change. This usually leads to an upset condition which may take a lot of time and adjustments to recover.

-

Fine tune or control the disc with one spray regardless of the number of sprays in use. The use of sprays, like the feed location, affects the product being discharged. The closer the spray is to the eye of the disc the larger the product size. When more than one spray is used, the water addition must be balanced.

-

Make only one change at a time.

-

Experiment - make very slight changes and watch what effect it has on the disc.

-

Have patience - wait long enough to see the effect of a change on the disc. If sudden drastic upsets occur, take quick action to try to control the disc in as stable operation as is possible.

Shutdown As is obvious from the earlier start-up procedures a disc can be shut down either fully loaded or with a reduced load. This will be driven by operator preference or whether the shut down was unplanned. In any case, whenever the feed to a disc is stopped, the spray water addition must be stopped. If the disc is stopped, design is for this to occur automatically. However, due to the severe problems that can result, spray water shut-off should be checked locally in the field.

6.1.2

Balling Disc Grease Lubrication System (P&ID: R-04-1005, R-04-1006) Compressed Air and grease are directed to each disc via the Gear Lubrication Systems (B46005A1, 2). Compressed air is used to provide the grease to disc drives. The system supplies lubrication to 7 nos of Palletizing Disc Units. All the 7 lubrication units are fed by a common Pumping station but each system has its own, separate functional components for independent working. The operation is automatic. The 7 disc lubrication units are normally operated simultaneously. A provision has been made for selective operation so that lubrication on one or more discs, if so desired, can be suspended temporarily, for maintenance etc. Though the units operate simultaneously, each unit has its own separate initiation signal. Hence the 7 cycles may or may not run synchronously depending upon the start signal for each. Each disc lubrication unit can be run in local or remote mode. Description of Automatic Operation: The automatic operation can be initiated locally or from remote by means of a selector switch. The operation in both modes is identical except for the initiation signal. In the local mode, the operation starts through Local mode selector switch. In the remote mode, the operation starts through a signal from the VFD for the corresponding pelletizing disc through the main automation system. As soon as the system gets a start signal, the pneumatic solenoid valve for the grease pump energizes and the pump starts delivering grease to the system. The greasing cycle sequence of all the Pelletizing discs is identical. The sequence of one disc is described below: As soon as the pump starts, the solenoid on the grease line energizes and the grease from the pump flows to the distributor. The distributor operates cyclically due to the pressure of the grease. The distributor cycle is monitored by means of a proximity switch actuated by the in/out movement of a pin on the distributor. The distributor delivers a metered quantity of grease to the nozzles. When the distributor cycle is complete, the grease solenoid valve is de energized and the pump stops. The spray air solenoid valve for the nozzles energizes and remains ON for a pre determined period and then becomes OFF. The grease at the nozzles is sprayed. This completes one greasing cycle. When the spray air solenoid valve is de energized, a pause timer starts counting. At the end of the pause time, a new cycle starts as described above. The cycles continue as long as there is a start signal from the Local switch or from the Pelletizing disc VFD. At the end of the cycle, the pump becomes off only if there is no ‘cycle start’ signal for any of the other disc lubrication systems of the group. System Interlocks and faults The cycle starts only if the following healthy conditions prevail: 1. 2. 3.

The grease level at the pump station is OK. There is sufficient air pressure at the compressed air unit. The ball valve on the grease line of the corresponding disc is open.

During the operations, system fault is generated under following conditions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

The compressed air pressure falls below set point. The grease level at the pump station becomes low. The grease pressure at the distributor drops below the set point. The distributor cycle is not completed within a preset time period after the start signal. The spray air pressure at the nozzles drops below the set point. The ball valve on the grease line of the corresponding grease line is not open.

The system fault is annunciated by a hooter. The system stops functioning. The system stoppage is either for all the Discs or only for the faulty unit depending upon the nature of the fault. The system can be restarted after the faulty condition is rectified. 7.0

INDURATING - AREA 5 Green pellets from the balling discs will drop onto green pellet conveyors GP-11A thru GP-11B which in turn feed onto green pellet conveyor GP-12 (B43034). GP-12 conveyor has a reciprocating head (B43034A) dumping onto the Wide Belt Conveyor (B43036). Pellets are distributed across a wide belt conveyor (B43036) by a reciprocating Head pulley mechanism. The pellets are screened and conveyed to the pellet induration machine by a double deck roller screen (DDRS). The off-size pellets are screened by the DDRS ahead of the indurating machine and recycled back to the balling circuit. Oversize pellets travel through Green Oversize Return Conveyor (B43037A) to the Oversize Pellet Shredder (B43037D) onto Green Fines Return Fines Conveyors GFR-11A, B, (B43037C, B43042) to MO-12 (B43026). The green pellet conveyors and DDRS reject conveyors are sized for a rejection rate of 40 percent, although recycle rates of 25% or less are anticipated.

The design for the traveling grate iron ore pellet plant will incorporate the Dravo Process. In this process, the unfired green pellets are dried, preheated, indurated, and cooled on a continuous traveling grate, without intermediate transfers. Process air introduced for pellet cooling is circulated from the cooling zone of the grate in a multi-pass manner to the other process zones to

obtain thermal efficiency. Only relatively cool, moisture laden gases are discharged to process gas cleaning and then to the atmosphere. During normal operation, the 75 mm to 100 mm thick bed of hearth layer will perform three important functions. A. It will create a temperature gradient between the bottom of the new bed and the metal grate components, so that the grate components are exposed to gases cooler than the roughly 1300 C at the bottom of the new bed. B. The high level heat, which is stored in the hearth layer, is efficiently returned to the process during updraft cooling. C. It will diffuse the gas flow passing through the relatively small fraction of open grate area, thus ensuring uniform gas flow through the new bed. The hearth layer thickness is adjustable by the operator to a maximum height of 300mm. This feature will also permit “idling” the machine by re-circulating full depth hearth layer, while maintaining the gas temperatures in all zones, and to gradually increase the green pellet feed rate from zero without producing any off-specification product. During interruptions in green pellet feed, the hearth layer gate is raised to cover the grate and to maintain grate speed. Side layer chutes (B400011) are used to protect side plates from high temperatures and to maintain pellet quality. Pellet induration will occur on the 4.0 m wide traveling grate. The anticipated total bed height of hearth layer plus green pellets will be constant up to approximately 500 mm. The speed of the traveling grate is variable and automatically controlled to maintain a constant bed height. The indurating machine (B40001) will have five furnace processing zones, updraft drying, downdraft drying, preheating, firing and cooling. In the updraft drying zone, gas flow will remove free water from the lower portion of the pellet bed while heating that layer to a temperature at which condensation will not form when the gas flow reverses in downdraft drying. The updraft drying off-gas is exhausted to atmosphere following dust removal. The heat for updraft drying is recovered from the second section of the cooling zone. The next process zone is downdraft drying where free water is removed from the upper portion of the pellet bed. The heat for downdraft drying is supplied from the firing zone windboxes. Gases from the downdraft windboxes are discarded via the windbox exhaust fan until the off-gas reaches sufficient temperature for use in downdraft drying. The air for the remainder of the heating cycle comes from the first cooling zone via the direct recuperation duct. The pellets are preheated to intermediate temperatures in the third processing zone. Provision is made to temper the initial stages of preheat with cooler air to allow better control of the heat-up rate of the pellets. The slow temperature ramp will prevent thermal shock and avoid damage from rapidly evolving steam or gases resulting from crystalline water in the ore, calcination of the flux, and combustion of the coal. After preheating, the pellets are fired at high temperature. The hood temperature in the latter part of the firing zone is slightly lower as the residual heat in the upper portion of the pellet bed is drawn down to the bottom layer to ensure uniform product quality. Windboxes 13 through 22 are used for firing. Cooling of the pellets is accomplished with an updraft flow of air to lower the temperature of the grate components quickly and to recuperate the sensible heat from the pellet bed at the highest possible temperature.

The gas flow scheme is designed to recuperate a significant amount of sensible heat from the process gas streams. High level heat is recuperated directly from the first cooling zone, while low level heat is recuperated from the second cooling zone for drying at temperatures, which avoid the use of exotic materials of construction for the updraft drying fan. Process parameters may be reset to optimize the induration pattern as campaigns of different types of pellets are run. Additional heat for indurating is supplied by burners firing either fuel oil or fuel gas. Oil heaters, pipe insulation, and electric heat tracing of oil lines are incorporated into the plant design. 7.3

Hearth Layer Bin Load cells sense the weight of fired pellets in the hearth layer bin (B54013). A level transmitter (LT-05B0206) sends the signal to the DCS which compares the signal with the bin level set point and accordingly regulates the variable speed drive on HL-12 conveyor (B43071). Hearth layer bin level is maintained at approximately 85% full. Abnormal bin level alarms are provided on the HMI for high level (95% full) and low level (50% full). Hearth layer bin set-point is entered via the HMI.

Indurating Details

7.4.1

Indurating Machine Pellet Bed Depth (Primary System) The primary pellet bed depth control system uses three (3) ultrasonic level probes to monitor total bed depth and one (1) ultrasonic level probe to monitor the hearth layer bed depth. The difference between the average total bed depth and the hearth layer depth equals the green bed depth. Total bed depth is controlled by means of machine speed modulation via the bed depth controller on the HMI. Hearth layer depth is fixed by setting the position of the hearth layer gate. All three (3) signals, total bed depth, green bed depth and hearth layer bed depth are displayed on the HMI. A DCS selector switch is used to choose the active level instrument: Average, East, Center, or West. The hearth layer is measured by the hearth layer transmitter (LIT-05B0210 A thru D) Indurating Machine Pellet Bed Depth (Alternate System) The alternate system of bed depth control is provided for backup control. Its three (3) signals; calculated green bed depth, hearth layer gate position and the sum of the two (2) for a total bed depth are also displayed on the HMI for comparison. The belt scale on conveyor GP-12 (B43034) sends a signal proportional to the weight rate of material across the scale to the DCS. This signal is delayed to allow for the time it takes the green pellets to travel from the scale to the indurating machine. The belt scale on conveyor GFR-11B (B43042) (WIT-05B0126) also sends a signal proportional to the weight of the material rejected to the DCS. The DCS calculates a difference between the weight of material on conveyors GP-12 and GFR-11B. The position of the hearth layer gate is sensed and transmitted to the DCS. The bulk density of the green pellets is input manually to the DCS by way of the HMI. The speed of the traveling grate is sensed and transmitted to the DCS. Based on these inputs the DCS varies the machine speed to maintain a constant total bed depth on the grate. Derivation of the control algorithm is shown below. LT= LHL + LGP Where: LT = LHL = LGP =

The DCS compares the bed depth with its set point bed depth and modifies the grate speed accordingly through the variable frequency drive. As green pellet feed rate is increased, the calculated total bed depth will exceed the set point and the grate speed is increased proportionally. Conversely, for a decrease in green pellet feed rate, the calculated total bed depth is less than the set point and the grate speed is decreased proportionally. The machine speed varies continuously to maintain the set point bed depth. In the event of a loss of green pellet feed, the operator must take action. The course of action taken by the operator will depend on the cause of the loss of green pellet feed, as well as the overall needs of the plant. This area is covered thoroughly during the training phase of plant startup. An alarm, differentiated from other alarms by tone and volume, indicates loss of feed to the machine. 7.4.2

Process Fan Protection The five (5) process fans: • • • • •

Windbox Recup Fan (B42005) Updraft Drying Fan (B42006) Cooling Air Fan (B42004) Windbox Exhaust Fan (B42007) Hood Exhaust Fan (B42008)

Temperature elements located on both motor bearings and fan bearings are wired to the fan monitoring system (FMS), which then sends alarms to the HMI when a high or high-high temperature exists in any bearing. High-High temperature in a motor bearing or fan bearing is a fan shutdown. The motor current is indicated on the HMI. Fan and motor vibration is also monitored by the fan monitoring system at the inboard and outboard bearings. An alarm is activated to the HMI at high and at high-high vibration for any bearing. The fan will shut down at a high-high condition. Each fan has an inlet damper closed start permissive interlock. Each fan lube system measures, alarms, or acts upon certain conditions according to the following: Low oil level - (not) permits start, then alarm only High oil temperature - (not) permits start, then alarm only At least 1 oil pump running – permits start Low oil pressure – (not) permits start Low oil pressure – after short delay, start standby oil pump Low oil pressure continues – after longer delay, trip fan Low oil flow return from fan bearings – alarm only; no trip. Cooling water to the fans has a low flow – alarm only Three (3) RTD's, one on each winding of the process fan motor, are wired directly to the switchgear for that process fan motor, and the switchgear will shutdown the fan on high motor windings temperature. After stopping a process fan motor, the motor must remain off for the period recommended by the motor vendor, based upon the number and duration of its prior runs, before a restart can be attempted. When any of the 5 process fans are stopped, the DCS operator must close the inlet dampers manually.

Updraft Drying Zone Hood Pressure A pressure transmitter (PT-05B0401) in the updraft drying zone hood provides the signal for the DCS controller that regulates the fan speed of the hood exhaust fan. A slightly negative pressure of about -1 to -2 mm water column is normally maintained. This pressure (PSL-05B0401) must be negative as a permissive to light the burners and after light off if a positive pressure occurs the DCS will force the burners to low fire after a time delay. The burners will go to low fire when the pressure at the cooling air duct is low (PSL-05B1335). Settings will be determined in the field. The DCS will “lock in” the low fire condition until reset at the HMI. A “Low Fire Bypass” switch is provided in the HMI to allow modulation of burners above low fire during startup. The fan inlet damper position and motor speed are indicated on the HMI and can be manually adjusted from the screen. Fan amps are also indicated on the HMI screen. The pressure set-point for (Loop No: PIC-0401, P&ID: R-05-1003, R-05-1017) is entered via the HMI. On an out of tolerance pressure condition, an alarm is displayed on the HMI.

7.4.4

Downdraft Drying Zone Hood Pressure A pressure transmitter (PT-05B0403) in the downdraft drying zone hood provides the primary signal that is transmitted to the DCS. Should the pressure in the downdraft drying zone increase, a damper (B54810) will open to discharge excess gas to the updraft drying hood. If the downdraft drying hood pressure continues above the desired set-point, the Downdraft drying bleed off damper (B54809) will open to bleed gas to the Hood Exhaust ESP (Loop No: PIC-0403, P&ID: R05-1003). Set-point pressure is normally maintained at a slightly negative value of about -3 mm water column. The pressure set-point is entered via the HMI. On an out of tolerance pressure condition, an alarm is displayed on the HMI.

7.4.5

Downdraft Zone Hood Pressure A pressure transmitter in the firing zone hood (PT-05B1815) sends a signal to the DCS, which compares the signal with the set point and accordingly regulates the cooling air fan speed. Fan motor current will be displayed to the operator. The set-point of the controller is normally set at a slightly negative value of about -4 mm water column. The pressure is not much below atmospheric otherwise leakage of cold air into the furnace could cause incomplete burnthrough along the sides of the machine. The position of the fan inlet dampers and motor speed can be adjusted manually from the HMI. The set point for the pressure is entered via the HMI. On an out of tolerance pressure condition, an alarm will be displayed on the HMI. In case of failure of pressure transmitter, (PT-05B1815), a switch is provided on the HMI to allow the operator to manually switch the backup firing zone pressure transmitter, (PT-05B0932), into the cooling air fan speed control loop until the (PT-05B1815) signal is restored.

A pressure transmitter (PT-05B0602) in the second cooling zone hood sends a signal to the DCS, which compares the signal with the set-point and accordingly regulates the updraft drying fan speed (Loop No: PIC-0602, P&ID: R-05-1008). Normal set-point pressure for the second cooling zone is -4 to -9 mm water column. The fan inlet damper position can be manually adjusted from the HMI. The set-point pressure is entered via the HMI. In the event of an out of tolerance pressure condition, an alarm is displayed on the HMI. As long as the measured temperature at the updraft drying gas header (TE-05B0407) does not exceed the set-point for fan protection purposes (the set-point temperature is below maximum fan structural temperature), the second cooling isolation damper (B54828) remains in the open position and the updraft drying bleed-in damper (B54806) will modulate as needed. If the gas temperature continues to rise after the primary bleed-in damper is fully open, the DCS will then start closing the isolation damper (B54828) to reduce the flow of hot gas mixing with the ambient bleed-in air (Loop No: TIC-0407, P&ID: R-05-1003 & R-05-1008). Set-point temperature for fan protection is about 270°C. The fan speed and position of the bleedin damper, the duct damper and the UDD fan inlet damper are shown on the HMI. Motor amps are also displayed on the HMI. The set-point temperature for fan protection is entered via the HMI. In the event of an out of tolerance temperature condition, an alarm is displayed on the HMI. 7.4.6

Downdraft Zone Windbox Pressure The pressure in the firing zone windboxes is determined by the burnthrough temperature control and is not directly controlled. Windbox exhaust duct pressure control (PIC-05B1821) is provided. There is an option for ratio control set-point to (PIC-05B1821) by way of a HMI selector (HS-05B1821). The output of the controller (PIC-05B1821) modifies the speed of the Windbox Exhaust Fan. An increased speed will lower the windbox exhaust duct pressure, reduced speed will increase the pressure in the duct. Normal pressure for the windbox exhaust duct is about -500 mm water column. If the operator chooses, the windbox exhaust header pressure can be maintained at a specific value by placing the DCS controller in "DIRECT CONTROL" instead of "RATIO CONTROL". The windbox exhaust duct pressure can then be directly controlled by entering the desired pressure set-point on the HMI. The ratio is a number from 0 to 2.0. When RATIO is active, the set-point of the Windbox Exhaust Header (PIC-05B1821) is set to the ratio times the windbox recuperation header pressure (PT-05B0501). The ratio set-point for the windbox exhaust header pressure is entered via the HMI at (HS05B1821). In the event of an out of tolerance pressure condition, an alarm is displayed on the HMI. The position of the windbox exhaust fan inlet dampers and motor speed can be manually adjusted from the HMI. The motor amps are displayed on the HMI.

A pressure transmitter (PT-05B0405) in the updraft drying duct sends a signal to the DCS, which compares the signal with the set-point and accordingly regulates the updraft drying bleed-off damper (B54807) (Loop No: PIC-0405, P&ID: R-05-1003). The damper opens to relieve excess pressure under the grate to prevent any disturbances of the bed due to excessive undergrate pressure. Normal set-point pressure is about 500 mm water column. The set-point for the pressure is entered via the HMI. In the event of an out of tolerance pressure condition, an alarm is displayed on the HMI. The position of the bleed off damper is shown on the HMI. 7.4.8

Wind box Recuperation Fan Temperature A thermocouple (TE-05B1235) located on the downstream side of the wind box recuperation fan sends a signal to the DCS, which compares the signal with the set-point and accordingly regulates the two bleed-in dampers (B54808-1, 2) (Loop No: TIC-1235, P&ID No. R-05-1012). The dampers allow ingress of ambient air at the inlet side of the wind box recuperation fan if the temperature rises above the set-point temperature. The position of the bleed-in dampers is indicated on the HMI. The temperature set-point for (TIC-05B1235) is entered via the HMI. On an out of tolerance temperature condition, an alarm is displayed on the HMI.

7.4.9

Burnthrough Temperature Two thermocouples are located in windbox 22 (TE-05B0731) (TE-05B0732). The temperatures are transmitted to the DCS where the temperatures are averaged and compared with the set-point. The DCS then regulates the windbox recuperation fan speed, increasing fan speed as necessary to control the flow of hot gases through the bed and control the temperature in the windboxes as necessary. Set-point temperature is approximately 550°C (setting may be adjusted to maintain pellet quality). The motor speed can be manually adjusted from the HMI. The temperature set-point (TIC-05B0734) is entered via the HMI. The position of the dampers, motor speed and motor amps are displayed on the HMI. On an out of tolerance temperature condition, an alarm is displayed on the HMI.

7.4.10 Wind box Vent Doors The windbox vent doors, one in the windbox exhaust header (B54001) and one in the windbox recuperation header (B54002), are equipped with electric motor operators. The vent doors are to be opened when a stop grate hold is initiated. The vent doors are opened manually from the DCS or a local control station. 7.4.11 Preheat and Firing Zone Hood Temperature In Preheat Zone, the temperatures in the north and south sides are monitored through thermocouples (TE- 1801 to 1809) mounted on direct recuperation header. Flow of UDD air is controlled by dampers (ZT-1801A to 1809A for north side & ZT-1801B to 1809B for south side) depending on the header temperature (Loop No: TIC-1801A to 1809A for north side & TIC-1801B to 1809B for south side).

7.4.12 The DCS sends the master burner permissive, ready for purge, and at purge flow signals to the Main Panel. Details of these signals can be found in the Burner Operation section of the Operating Manual and the vendor’s burner operation manual. All downcomer temperatures are monitored for each burner. These same temperatures are available at the DCS. A purge and burner restart must then be completed if temperatures are below the auto-ignition temperature at any burner or zone. 7.4.13 The firing zone is heated with 38 burners. Each burner can be controlled individually. The operator can select oil or gas firing, with separate selector switches available on the main burner panel. In minimum flow position, the burner light-off is allowed as long as permissives are satisfied. The low fire indicating position is available to the DCS. Normally the furnace is started with oil and switched over to gas once control temperatures are maintained. Double block valves are used for both oil and gas for burner management. Refer to the vendor’s operation manual for specifics of this control and interlocking. The combustion system uses combustion air, ambient cooling pilot air, and atomizing air. The burners turn down by reducing fuel flow and run excess air operation. Cooling Air is maintained to the burners at all times, whether the burners are firing or in standby. The pressure both high and low are monitored by the burner management system. Refer to the vendor’s operation manual for specifics of this interlocking. The system run permit is removed if: Emergency Stop is pressed, Combustion Air blower is not running, Main Combustion Air pressure is low, atomizing air pressure is low, or pilot air pressure is low , fuel pressure is low or any safety fault exists. The furnace requires a full purge for initial start. A full purge is timed for four volumetric air changes. If full purge is required, it is initiated at the Main Panel. For a full purge, the system run permit must be on and the purge conditions satisfied. The Main Panel verifies the main burner gas safety shutoff valves are closed , all burner primary fuel valves closed , all fuel valves closed, all secondary upstream and downstream fuel valves are closed. The full purge must be completed before any burners are lit. When the purge is complete, all fuel control valves go to low fire lightoff position. There is a burner run permissive for each burner. If flameout occurs, the DCS will automatically turn off the permissives to the failed burner zone. A reset is required from both the DCS and flame safety for relight. Burner start sequence includes the following steps: prove valves at low fire, ignition transformer on, flame proven, ignition off, main fuel valves open. With all these steps completed, the burner is modulated as needed to maintain desired temperatures. For zone control, each zone has its own temperature control. By software, the individual burners can be directed to follow the zone temperature selected. The Main Panel transfers BMS data to the DCS via hardwire. A listing of interlocks and other functions are included in the Vendor Manual .

7.4.14 Lintel Cooling Surge Tank Level A level transmitter (LIT-05B2701) sends a signal to the DCS, which compares the signal with its set-point and accordingly regulates the throttling valve (LV-05B2701) for make-up water (Loop No: LIC-2701, P&ID No: R-05-1016). For normal operation only a relatively small quantity of make-up soft water addition is required. The Lintel Cooling Tank level set-point is entered via the DCS HMI. Lintel Cooling Pumps (B41101-1, 2) supply lintel water through the two Lintel Cooling Water Heat Exchangers (B31201-1, 2) to the furnace lintels, baffles and hood seals. The temperature of the lintel water is monitored and alarmed. (TE-05B2709) In the event of an emergency condition where the water temperature (TE-05B2704) from the furnace lintels is too high, the DCS will open a valve (TV-05B2704) to introduce emergency makeup water from the emergency head tank into the furnace lintel cooling water supply header. When the emergency water valve is open the lintel cooling water storage tank could overfill and the water may temporarily overflow to drain. It should be an operator action to close this emergency valve when it has opened for any reason. Cooling water distribution must be balanced using manual valves and observing the collection boxes. The emergency head tank is only used until the emergency standby generator can be started to run the lintel cooling water pumps. 7.4.15 Machine Discharge Hopper Level Load cells sense the weight (LIT-05B0305) of fired pellets in the discharge hopper. A level transmitter sends the load cell signals to the DCS, which compares the signal with the set-point and varies the speed of feeders (B55017-1, 2). This control need not be overly tight; the bin level should be allowed to float up or down. A proportional or gap control scheme should be used for this controller. The set-point is entered via the HMI. The (LIC-05B0305) output signal from the DCS (LIT-05B0305) is common to both vibrating feeders. In the event that the discharge level rises beyond the set-point, normally 50% of the full bin, an alarm is activated at the HMI. If the level continues to rise to the second set-point (75%) an additional alarm is activated at the HMI and the machine drive will be alarmed for manual shutdown. Low level is usually set for 25%. The Indurating Machine is not interlocked to Discharge Hopper Level. The operator must take action to prevent overfilling of the Hopper. The level set-point is entered via the HMI. 7.4.16 Product conveyor P-11 (B43050) Temperature Protection There is a temperature element/transmitter (TE-05B0301) located in the second cooling zone hood at the end of the furnace which senses the temperature above the fired pellets and transmits it to the DCS. Logic in the DCS uses this information to control the discharge end hood cooling water sprays (TV-05B0301 A, B, C) to prevent hot pellets from damaging conveyor P-11 (B43050) or any downstream conveyors. There are three sets of sprays in the hood. The first set comes on at 425°C, the second set at 480°C, and the third set at 540°C. The set-points may need to be reset during startup. Downstream of the machine discharge chutes there are two sets of belt water sprays above the P11 (B43050) product conveyor to protect the belt from high temperature product, discharging from the indurating machine. A temperature transmitter (TT-05B0316) monitors the discharge hood. The DCS will turn on the first set of sprays (process water system) (XV-05B0314) at 100°C and the

second set (firewater system) (TV-05B0315) at 150°C. The set-points may need to be reset during startup. All of the above mentioned automatic spray water temperature controls should have some amount of deadband programmed into the set-points to minimize cycling the valves. Additionally there is a pair of infrared temperature detectors (TE-05B0315) for belt fire protection above the belt itself downstream of the discharge chute which send pellet/belt temperature readings to the DCS. These signals should drive logic which will turn on the second set of belt sprays (firewater system) (TV-05B0315) to provide quench water when high temperatures are detected. The temperature set-point for the pellet/belt temperature control is dependent on the limits of the selected belt material. A specific alarm should display on the HMI to indicate a high temperature has been detected on the belt by these sensors and that the spray valve is open. Once opened by these sensors, it should require operator action to close the spray valve and reset the system. 7.4.17 Indurating Machine Drive Control A vendor supplied control system interfaces the DCS and the machine drives. Signals are sent between these systems to achieve control and monitoring. The indurating machine drive can be controlled from four locations, with only one location in control at any one time. An indicator light on each of the machine bridge, pallet change and drive station indicates when that station has control of the grate. 7.4.18 Control from the Control Room The DCS provides start/stop control through HMI screens. The DCS provides a speed reference signal to the variable frequency drive from the machine speed/bed depth controller. 7.4.19 Control from the Machine Bridge Control Station The machine operator requests the DCS operator to give the bridge operator control of the machine’s speed. The DCS operator gives speed control to the bridge by clicking on the appropriate control area on the HMI. The local switch at the bridge station can now be turned “ON”, giving control of the machine speed to the bridge station. The Machine Control should indicate that the bridge has control by lighting a pilot light on the bridge control station. The variable frequency unit sets the speed reference circuit to accept the speed reference signal from the speed control pushbuttons (Increase and Decrease) located on the bridge control station. When the bridge operator has completed his operating task, he calls the DCS operator and informs him, and then returns speed control to the DCS by turning off the switch on the bridge control panel. The variable frequency unit resets the speed control circuits to receive speed control from the DCS, and the machine continues to run, at the previous speed sent out by the DCS. The E-stop functions from both the DCS and the bridge control stations are active when either the control room is in control or the bridge is in control. The local ‘Machine start” and ‘Normal stop’ on the bridge panel are active only when the bridge panel is enabled by the DCS and the switch on the local panel. 7.4.20 Control from the Pallet Change Station This is a “logic system”, not a true group-starting situation. It is operated from its own local panel, with pushbuttons and data entry/display screen.

The pallet change station operator requests the DCS operator to give the pallet change station control of the machine. The DCS operator gives control to the pallet change station by clicking on the appropriate control area of the HMI screen. The DCS sends a signal to the pallet change control system signifying to the variable frequency unit that the pallet change station can take control. The pallet change station operator takes control when the “Control Active” Light is on. The variable frequency unit also sets the VF control signal circuits to accept jog forward and jog reverse signals from the pallet change station control panel. The speed of the machine is controlled by a preset speed signal in the variable frequency unit. Change-Out Mode: The operator will use the HMI “Change-Out Mode” selector to choose “Replace, Remove, Load or View” after turning the Pallet “On-Off” selector to “On” - Pallet Change Station control. Replace Mode: The operator is prompted to “Enter Pallet ID to be inserted” and the operator presses “ENTER" after keying in the ID number. For Remove Mode: Remove multiple pallets from the machine after first ID number is entered. For Load Mode: The pallet ID must be entered by the operator. After the first pallet is loaded, the operator can load other pallets in sequence. View Mode: The operator views the pallet stack. Data displayed is Position #, Pallet #, and the value of Sag. When the pallet change station operator has completed his operating task, he calls the DCS operator and informs him, and then turns the Pallet “On-Off” selector to “Off”. When the selector switch is switched to DCS control, the variable frequency unit resets the speed signal circuits and control circuits to receive the DCS signals. 7.4.21 Control from the Machine Drive Station The machine drive station operator requests the DCS operator to give the machine drive station control of the machine. The DCS operator gives control to the machine drive station by clicking on the appropriate control area of the HMI screen. The DCS sends a signal to the variable frequency unit that the machine drive station can take control. The machine drive station operator takes control by acknowledging acceptance of the control through a selection switch. The DCS receives the take control signal and indicates the machine drive station has control by lighting a pilot light on the machine drive station control panel. The variable frequency (VF) unit also sets the VF control signal circuits to accept jog forward and jog reverse signals from the machine drive station control panel. The speed of the machine is controlled by a preset speed signal in the variable frequency unit. When the machine drive station operator has completed his maintenance task, he calls the DCS operator and informs him, and then turns the selector switch to the DCS control position. When the selector switch is switched to DCS control, the variable frequency unit resets the speed signal circuits and control circuits to receive the DCS signals. 7.4.22 Pallet Sag Measurement

The pallet sag measurement is recorded as it passes the Sag Monitor laser distance detector. The sag measurement is recorded in the Indurating Machine PLC and is tabulated for each of the respective pallet positions. The data is available on the local Touchscreen Unit. Sagging pallets are disassembled. The center casting is reversed. The pallet is then reassembled. The operator must periodically replace pallets that have deformed beyond design limits. 7.4.23 Hood Seal Flow The hood seal flow is automatically controlled with the fan inlet damper. There is a cross tie to the combustion air fans with crossover dampers (B54812). These dampers only open when the combustion air blowers fail. Normally these dampers are closed. (Revision may occur – See Latest Design) The dampers open to keep air going to the burners when there is a combustion air failure. Hood seal flow control is designed to keep a low differential pressure between the hood seal pressure (PT-05B0601) and the furnace pressure (PT-05B0610). Hood seal fan inlet damper (B42009A) is controlled by a flow controller (Loop No: FIC-0611, P&ID: R-05-1008) which receives a differential pressure set value from a pressure controller (Loop No: PIC-0610, P&ID: R-05-1008). Hood Seal Fan flow controller (FIC-05B611) is limited to 30% minimum to maintain the seal under all conditions. For added protection, the hood seal fan has emergency power available. 7.5

Burner Management System The BMS provides furnace operational safeguards. The operational safeguards are implemented through hard-wired circuitry, interlocking safety devices, combustion safeguards and a Safety PLC. The BMS is designed to comply with NFPA 86:2011—Standard for Ovens and Furnaces. The BMS will perform only the burner management system functions listed. No Combustion Management System (CMS) functions (air/fuel ratio, flow control, temperature control, etc.) will be implemented as part of the BMS. The furnace consists of thirty eight Fives North American model 6535 burners. These burners incorporate both a pilot burner element and a dual-fuel main burner element. Each burner is supplied with an ultra-violet flame supervision device. The BMS will control burner ignition in an “interrupted pilot” sequence, where the pilot burner element is shut-off after the main burner element is lit. The main burner element of the 6535 burner requires physical adjustment of the oil atomizer for selecting gas or oil operation. Limit switches mounted to the burner body provide indication to the BMS of the burner’s atomizer position (fuel setting). The BMS will turn off any burner in which the selected fuel mode is different than the burner’s fuel setting or any burner where the fuel setting changes during operation. The BMS will permit any arrangement of burners to be selected as gas or oil to operate within the furnace. The thirty eight burners are physically arranged between two sides of the furnace, “North Side” and “South Side”. Six Remote I/O panels, three per side, provide the electrical interface to furnace devices. Data from the Remote I/O panels is conveyed to the BMS’s central processing unit (Safety PLC) using a ProfiNet ring topology. Thirty eight remote push button stations are provided, one dedicated to each burner, for operator control and operational status of each burner. The remote push button stations are hard-wired to the Remote I/O panels. The thirty eight burners are logically grouped into eight control zones. Each control zone is governed by an individual Excess Temperature Limit Interlock and 1400 °F Bypass Interlock. All burners within a zone will be permitted to operate or will be shut-down based on the status of the Excess Temperature Limit and 1400 °F Bypass Interlock.

Operational status and configuration of the BMS is available through Operator Interface Terminals (Human / Machine Interfaces). A total of two Human / Machine Interfaces (HMI) devices are provided, one located at the Main Control Panel (North Side) and one on the Remote Operator Interface panel (South Side). Communications between the HMIs and the BMS’s central processing unit are implemented through a ProfiNet star topology.

The BMS circuitry is designed to shut off fuel to the burner system, by removing power (holding medium) to the Safety Shutoff Valves, through one or more of the interlocking safety devices, combustion safeguards or operating controls. Each hardware component and the overall operation of the burner management system are described in detail below: 7.5.4

Excess Temperature Limit Interlocks The furnace consists of eight control zones, each equipped with an Excess Temperature Limit Interlock (ETLI) controller. All ETLI safety devices will be mounted on the Main Control Panel. The ETLI controller is a panel-door-mounted, FM-approved temperature switch. The controller output contact opens whenever the thermocouple input indicates a temperature greater than a set point value. The output contact remains de-energized until both the temperature is below set point and the controller has been manually reset.

7.5.5

1400 ˚F (760 ˚C) Bypass Interlock A 1400°F Bypass Interlock is provided for each of the eight furnace control zones. The 1400 °F Bypass Interlock devices will be mounted on three of the six Remote I/O Control Panels. The 1400 °F Bypass Interlock indicates, by relay contact closure to the Safety PLC that the temperature of the associated control zone is above 1400 °F. Burners within a zone may be ignited only following the completion of a furnace purge cycle or if the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock indicates that the control zone temperature is above 1400 °F.

7.5.6

Manual Emergency Switches Mounted at each control location are Manual Emergency Switches, labeled Fuel-Stop, that are hard-wired into the BMS circuitry. The contacts of the switches are arranged in series such that operation of any Manual Emergency Switch removes power to the Safety Shutoff Valves for ALL burners (oil, gas and pilot) within the system.

7.5.7

Combustion Safeguards Each burner is equipped with a Combustion Safeguard that monitors both the pilot element and the main burner element. The Combustion Safeguard is a safety device that senses the presence or absence of flame using an ultra-violet sensor. The Combustion Safeguard contains an internal selfcheck mechanism designed to detect failure of the UV sensor in the ‘flame detected’ state. Indication of the presence (or absence) of flame and device failure is conveyed to the Safety PLC through contact closure. The Safety PLC will remove power to the Safety Shutoff Valves of the individual burner being monitored depending on the status from the Combustion Safeguards. The logic sequence related to the Combustion Safeguard is described in detail later within this section.

7.5.8

Safety PLC The Safety PLC is implemented using a Siemens S7 F/FH fail-safe automation system (FSystem). The F-System is designed to control a process to an immediately achievable safe state in the event of a hardware or software failure. Safety functions are contained in the safety program within the fail-safe CPU (F-CPU) and within the fail-safe inputs and outputs (F-I/O). In addition to providing fail-safe functionality, the F-System hardware provides fault tolerance. Fault tolerance is accomplished through a redundant structure including the F-CPU, the power supply, the associated hardware for linking and synchronizing the F-CPUs. The F-System will automatically switch from the primary F-CPU to secondary F-CPU control in the event of a primary F-CPU failure. Therefore a F-CPU or power supply may fail without impairing the functionality of the overall system, increasing furnace reliability and availability.

All Remote I/O for the F-CPUs is implemented using Siemens S7-300 ET 200M Distributed I/O Devices which employ Siemens S7-300 Fail-Safe and Standard I/O modules. Communication of the module I/O data to/from the F-CPUs occurs over a ProfiNet communication ring. The Safety PLC is responsible for control of pre-ignition furnace purge, burner ignition; flame monitoring and BMS related alarm detection. The Safety PLC can interrupt power to the Safety Shutoff Valve(s) in the event of a shutdown condition, if a device failure is detected or an operational system-stop control is issued. 7.5.9

Remote Push Button Stations A remote push button station is supplied for each burner. Each push button station contains push buttons and status lamps for control of the individual burner to which it is associated. All push button stations contain the same discrete arrangement of devices, which are as follows: − Fuel-Stop Push Button − Local / Remote Selector Switch − Gas / Oil Selector Switch − Start Permissive Ready Indicator Lamp − Burner Start / On Illuminated Push Button − Pilot On Lamp − Burner Stop / Flame Fail Illuminated Push Button − Low Temperature Bypass Active Lamp

7.5.10 Human / Machine Interfaces (HMI) Operational status and configuration functions are available through the Human / Machine Interfaces (HMI). The system includes two HMI, each executing the same program. The HMI program shall include the following pre-engineered BMS graphic displays at a minimum: − Overview of BMS status − Purge Cycle status and control. − Burner Status & Mode − Igniter Status − Master Fuel Trip Status − ETLI Status − Alarm Message Display and Acknowledgement. 7.5.11 Power On/Off Selector Switch The Power On/Off selector switch, located on the door of the Main Control Panel, will remove power from the Safety PLC and other control devices within the Main Control Panel. The Power On/Off Selector switch can be ‘locked-out’ to perform non-electrical maintenance to the furnace. 7.5.12 Pilot Burner Element Fuel Gas Limits The pilot fuel gas for the furnace is supplied from a main pilot fuel gas supply line. The main pilot fuel gas supply line branches into two headers, one located on each side of the furnace. Each header is isolated from the main pilot fuel gas supply with two, series connected, automatic Safety Shutoff Valves (SSOVs). The pilot fuel gas supply from a header to each individual burner is equipped with two, series connected, SSOV solenoid valves. The de-energized state of all SSOVs is closed. The fail-safe state of the Remote I/O points to which the SSOVs are connected is deenergized. Power to all pilot burner gas SSOVs is dependent upon the following: 7.5.13 Manual Emergency Stop (Fuel-Stop) The Manual Emergency Stop is hard-wired to interrupt power to all pilot gas SSOV’s. 7.5.14 Main pilot fuel gas pressure

The main pilot fuel gas pressure is monitored using high and low pressure limit switches (customer supplied) mounted to the main pilot fuel gas supply. These limit switches are connected to discrete inputs of the Safety PLC. The Safety PLC continuously monitors the discrete inputs and will shut off power at all Remote I/O discrete output points connected to the pilot gas blocking valves and SSOV’s if either the high or the low pressure limit switch input is detected to be de-energized. The fail-safe values of the Remote I/O point to which the main pilot gas pressure switches are connected is de-energized. 7.5.15 Combustion Safeguard The Safety PLC monitors the Combustion Safeguards for the presence of flame at each burner. The Safety PLC will turn off the discrete Remote I/O output points connected to an individual burner’s pilot gas SSOVs, where the Combustion Safeguard at that burner has failed or has reported the absence of a flame signal for more than 5 seconds and the and the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock indicates that the temperature of the control zone is below 1400 °F. The fail-safe value of the Remote I/O points to which the Combustion Safeguard signals are connected is 0V (flame loss). 7.5.16 Main Burner Element Fuel Gas Limits The main fuel gas supply consists of a header at each side of the furnace. There are no SSOVs located on the main fuel gas header that are controlled by the BMS. A connection to the main fuel gas supply header, for each burner, provides primary gas to each burner. Each burner’s primary gas supply is isolated from the main fuel gas supply with two, series connected, automatic Safety Shutoff Valves (SSOVs). The de-energized state of the primary gas SSOVs is closed. The fail-safe state of the Remote I/O points to which the SSOVs are connected is de-energized. Power to each burner’s primary gas SSOVs is dependent upon the following: 7.5.16.1

Manual Emergency Stop (Fuel-Stop)

The Manual Emergency Stop is hard-wired to interrupt power to the primary gas SSOVs of all burners. 7.5.16.2

Excess Temperature Limit Interlock

An Excess Temperature Limit Interlock (ETLI) will interrupt primary gas SSOV power to all burners located within a control zone in the event the ETLI for that zone trips. The ETLI controllers are hard-wired into the SSOV power circuit. Failure of the thermocouple input results in an overtemperature trip by the controller. As a result, all Safety Shutoff Valves of the burners within the associated control group are de-energized. 7.5.16.3

1400 °F Bypass Interlock

The Safety PLC monitors the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock status contact for all eight control zones. The Safety PLC will inhibit burners in a control zone from starting if a purge sequence has not been completed and the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock indicates that the temperature of the control zone is below 1400 °F. The Safety PLC will permit a burner within a control zone to remain lit when its Combustion Safeguard fails or reports loss of flame, if the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock, of that control zone, indicates that the temperature of the control zone is above 1400 °F. When the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock indicates that the temperature of the control zone is below 1400 °F and the Combustion Safeguard fails or reports loss of flame, the Safety PLC will turn off the discrete Remote I/O output points connected to the individual burner’s primary gas SSOVs. Failure of the thermocouple input results in an under-temperature (temperature is below 1400 °F) indication by the controller. The Safety PLC will perform the required action based on the status of the Combustion Safeguard at each individual burner within the control zone. 7.5.16.4

The main fuel gas pressure is monitored using high and low pressure limit switches (customer supplied) mounted to the main fuel gas supply. These limit switches are connected to discrete inputs of the Safety PLC. The Safety PLC continuously monitors the discrete inputs and will shut off power at all Remote I/O discrete output points connected to the fuel gas SSOV’s of all burners if either the high or the low pressure limit switch input is detected to be de-energized. The fail-safe value of the Remote I/O points to which the fuel gas pressure limit switches are connected is deenergized. 7.5.16.5

Combustion Safeguard

The Safety PLC monitors the Combustion Safeguards for the presence of flame at each burner. The Safety PLC will turn off the discrete Remote I/O output points connected to an individual burner’s primary gas SSOVs, where the Combustion Safeguard at that burner has failed or has reported the absence of a flame signal for more than 5 seconds and the and the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock indicates that the temperature of the control zone is below 1400 °F. The fail-safe value of the Remote I/O input points to which the Combustion Safeguard signals are connected is 0V (flame loss). 7.5.16.6

Atomizer Position

Limit switches are mounted to the burner body (of each burner) and provide indication to the Safety PLC of the burner’s atomizer position. The Safety PLC monitors the position of all burner atomizers and will remove power to the primary gas SSOVs of any burner in which the selected fuel mode is ‘gas’ and the atomizer position is not fully retracted. 7.5.17 Main Burner Element Fuel Oil Limits The main fuel oil supply consists of a header at each side of the furnace. There are no SSOVs located on the main fuel oil header that are controlled by the BMS. A connection to the main fuel oil supply header, for each burner, provides fuel oil to each burner. Each Burner’s fuel oil supply is isolated from the main fuel oil supply with two, series connected, automatic Safety Shutoff Valves (SSOVs). The de-energized state of the fuel oil SSOVs is closed. The fail-safe state of the Remote I/O points to which the SSOVs are connected is de-energized. Power to each burner’s fuel oil SSOVs is dependent upon the following: Manual Emergency Stop (Fuel-Stop) The Manual Emergency Stop is hard-wired to interrupt power to the fuel oil SSOVs of all burners. Excess Temperature Limit Interlock An Excess Temperature Limit Interlock (ETLI) will interrupt fuel oil SSOV power to all burners located within a control zone in the event the ETLI for that zone trips. The ETLI controllers are hard-wired into the SSOV power circuit. Failure of the thermocouple input results in an overtemperature trip by the controller. As a result, all Safety Shutoff Valves of the burners within the associated control group are de-energized. 1400 °F Bypass Interlock The Safety PLC monitors the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock status contact for all eight control zones. The Safety PLC will inhibit burners in a control zone from starting if a purge sequence has not been completed and the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock indicates that the temperature of the control zone is below 1400 °F. The Safety PLC will permit a burner within a control zone to remain lit when its Combustion Safeguard fails or reports loss of flame, if the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock, of that control zone, indicates that the temperature of the control zone is above 1400 °F. When the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock, indicates that the temperature of the control zone is below 1400 °F and the Combustion Safeguard fails or reports loss of flame, the Safety PLC will turn off the discrete

Failure of the thermocouple input results in an under-temperature (temperature is below 1400 °F) indication by the controller. The Safety PLC will perform the required action based on the status of the Combustion Safeguard at each individual burner within the control zone. Compressed Air Supply pressure The Compressed Air Supply pressure is monitored using high and low pressure limit switches (customer supplied) mounted to the compressed air supply. These limit switches are connected to discrete inputs of the Safety PLC. The Safety PLC continuously monitors the discrete inputs and will shut off power at all Remote I/O discrete output points connected to the fuel oil SSOV’s if either the high or the low pressure limit switch input is detected to be de-energized. The fail-safe value of the Remote I/O points to which the compressed air supply pressure limit switches are connected is de-energized. Main Fuel Oil Pressure The main fuel oil pressure is monitored using high and low pressure limit switches (customer supplied) mounted to the main fuel oil supply. These limit switches are connected to discrete inputs of the Safety PLC. The Safety PLC continuously monitors the discrete inputs and will shut off power at all Remote I/O discrete output points connected to the fuel oil SSOV’s of all burners if either the high or the low pressure limit switch input is detected to be de-energized. The fail-safe value of the Remote I/O points to which the fuel oil pressure limit switches are connected is deenergized. Main Fuel Oil Temperature The main fuel oil temperature is monitored using high and low temperature limit switches (Customer supplied) mounted to the main fuel oil supply. These limit switches are connected to discrete inputs of the Safety PLC. The Safety PLC continuously monitors the discrete inputs and will shut off power at all Remote I/O discrete output points connected to the fuel oil SSOV’s of all burners if either the high or the low temperature limit switch input is detected to be de-energized. The fail-safe value of the Remote I/O points to which the fuel oil temperature limit switches are connected is de-energized. Combustion Safeguards The Safety PLC monitors the Combustion Safeguards for the presence of flame at each burner. The Safety PLC will turn off the discrete Remote I/O output points connected to an individual burner’s fuel oil SSOVs, where the Combustion Safeguard at that burner has failed or has reported the absence of a flame signal for more than 5 seconds and the and the 1400 °F Bypass Interlock indicates that the temperature of the control zone is below 1400 °F. The fail-safe value of the Remote I/O points to which the Combustion Safeguard signals are connected is 0V (flame loss). The Safety PLC monitors the output contact of the Atomizing Air Low Pressure switch at each burner. The Safety PLC will remove power to the fuel oil SSOVs of any burner in which is in “Oil Mode” mode and the Atomizing Air Pressure switch indicates the atomizing air pressure supply has fallen below the safe operating set point. The fail-safe value of the Remote I/O point to which the Atomizing Air Low Pressure signals are connected is 0V (pressure is below the safe operating set point). Atomizer Position Limit switches are mounted to the burner body (of each burner) and provide indication to the Safety PLC of the burner’s atomizer position. The Safety PLC monitors the position of all burner atomizers and will remove power to the fuel oil SSOVs of any burner in which the selected fuel mode is ‘oil’ and the atomizer position is not fully inserted.

7.5.18 Pre-Ignition Purge Prior to powering any fuel or oil SSOVs within a control zone who’s temperature is less than 1400 °F, a pre-ignition purge of the entire pelletizing furnace chamber must be performed. The pre ignition purge is performed to remove all flammable vapors and gases from the heating chamber during a shut-down period. The system must be purged with fresh air for a minimum of five (5) volumetric air changes in the heating chamber prior to introducing a source of ignition. The Safety PLC will generate a “Ready to Purge” indication for each of the eight control zones. The Ready to purge indication results from the all of the following conditions being satisfied: − All four of the SSOVs located on the main pilot gas headers are closed. − Both primary gas SSOVs, at each burner in the control zone, are closed. − Both fuel oil SSOVs, at each burner in the control zone, are closed. − The fuel gas flow control valve, at each burner in the control zone, is in the low-fire position. − The fuel oil flow control valve, at each burner in the control zone, is in the At Low-Fire position. The Ready to Purge status of all eight control zones can be visually monitored on the HMI. Note: The Ready to Purge and other status registers that are available to be read from the Safety PLC, by the customer DCS system, over the ProfiNet HMI/DCS network, are listed within Section 5 of this document. A Start Purge command is initiated by an operator pressing the ‘Start Purge’ soft-button on the HMI screen. The customer DCS is expected to prove purge air flow and supply an “At Purge Flow” indication as a discrete/hard-wired input to the Safety PLC. When all eight control zones are “Ready to purge” and the “At Purge Flow” indication is received by the Safety PLC, the Safety PLC will initiate a pre-ignition purge sequence. When the pre-ignition purge sequence has been initiated, the Safety PLC will set the “System Purge Status” and eight individual “Zone Purge Status” registers to ‘Active’. The Safety PLC will then start will start two internal timers: Purge Timer – The Purge Timer will accumulate time as long as the System Purge Status is Active. If the At Purge Flow limit or any of the Ready to purge limits is lost, even momentarily, the Purge Timer is reset and all accumulated time will be lost. The HMI will annunciate an alarm indicating the condition that caused the Purge Timer to be reset. The Purge Timer will begin again when the At Purge Flow limit and the Ready to purge limits are satisfied and the System Purge Status is Active. The duration of the Purge timer is not adjustable and will be set as the time required to move five volumetric air changes through the heating chamber, given the dimensions of the heating chamber and the customer’s minimum purge air flow rate. Once the accumulated time of the Purge Timer exceeds that of the configured duration, the System Purge Status and the eight Zone Purge Status registers are set to “Complete”. Purge Taking Too Long Timer - The Purge Taking Too Long (PTTL) Timer will accumulate time as long as the System Purge Status is Active. The PTTL Timer is NOT reset on loss of a purge limit. The duration of the PTTL Timer is adjustable via the HMI. When the accumulated time of the PTTL exceeds that of the configured duration, an alarm is displayed on the HMI indicating this condition, the purge sequence is halted, the System Purge Status and the Zone Purge Status registers are set to ‘Inactive’. When the System Purge Status has been set to ‘Complete’, the Safety PLC starts an internal timer for each control zone: Purge Response Timers - The Purge Response Timers will accumulate time as long as the associated Zone Purge Status is ‘Complete’. The duration of the Purge Response Timers is adjustable via the HMI. When the accumulated time of a Purge Response Timer exceeds that of the configured duration, an alarm is displayed on the HMI indicating this condition and the associated Zone Purge Status is set to ‘Inactive’. For each control zone where the Zone Purge

Status register is ‘Complete’, burners within that zone may be may be ignited, given their “Burner Start Permissive” is also active. The Burner Start Permissive are written to the Safety PLC from the customer DCS. When an attempt to ignite a burner within a control zone is made, the associated Zone Purge Status register is set to ‘Inactive’. Loss of any Ready to Purge limit while the Zone Purge status is ‘Complete’ will cause an alarm is displayed on the HMI indicating this condition and the Zone Purge Status is set to ‘Inactive’. The transition of any of the Zone Purge Status registers to ‘Inactive’ causes the System Purge Status to be set to ‘Inactive’. 7.5.20 Burner Ignition For each control zone, burners may be ignited if their “Burner Start Permissive” is TRUE and any of the conditions are satisfied: 1) 1400 °F Bypass Interlock is indicating that the zone temperature is above 1400 °F. 2) The Zone Purge Status is ‘Complete’. 3) The status of at least one burner within the control zone is “Released to Control”. Burner Ignition can be individually initiated via the Remote Push Button Stations or using the individual “Burner Start” soft-buttons on the HMI. An Automatic Ignition Sequence to start all burners can be initiated using the “Start All Burners” soft-button on the HMI. When the “Start All Burners” soft-button is pressed, not all burners are start at once. The ignition sequence for one burner in each control zone will be started immediately, with additional burners in each zone stared every 3 seconds thereafter, until the ignition sequence has been started for all burners within all control zones. Burners will be started in order of their associated ‘wind box numbers’. Starting with the “A-North” burner with the lowest wind box number within the group and alternating next to the “A-South” burner, followed by “B-North” and lastly “B-South”. The same sequence is repeated (if necessary) for the next set of four burners within the group. Any burners in which the corresponding Burner Start Permissive has not be set by the DCS will be excluded from the Automatic Ignition Sequence. Failure of a combustion limits during ignition will result in termination of ignition sequence(s). A list of the combustion limits and a description of the corresponding effect upon the ignition sequences is as follows: Manual Emergency Stop – All burners are shut-down and the ignition sequences for all burners are terminated. Excess Temperature Limit Interlock – All burners within the associated control zone are shutdown and all ignition sequences for the burners within that control zone are terminated. Main Fuel Gas Pressure – All burners in which the fuel setting is ‘Gas’ will be shut-down and their ignition sequence terminated. Main Fuel Oil Pressure – All burners in which the fuel setting is ‘Oil’ will be shut-down and their ignition sequence terminated. Main Fuel Oil Temperature – All burners in which the fuel setting is ‘Oil’ will be shutdown and their ignition sequence terminated. Atomizing Air Low Pressure– All burners in which the fuel setting is ‘Oil’ will be shutdown and their ignition sequence terminated. Atomizer Position – Any burner in which the Atomizer Position changes during ignition or during operation will be immediately shut-down and/or the ignition sequence terminated. The ignition sequence for each burner operates independently once initiated. During the automatic ignition sequence, failure of a single burner to ignite will not halt the remaining burners from entering their ignition sequence. A burner’s ignition sequence begins with the Safety PLC

energizing the burner’s pilot gas SSOVs and the burner’s ignition transformer. The Safety PLC will set the burner’s status to “Pilot Starting”. The PLC will monitor the status of the burner’s Combustion Safeguard for a ‘Flame Detected’ signal. The trial for ignition period is defined as the time from which the pilot gas SSOV is energized and a ‘Flame Detected’ signal is reported by the Combustion Safeguard. The trial for ignition period is set within the Safety PLC not to exceed 15 seconds. Failure of the Combustion Safeguard to report a ‘Flame Detected’ signal within the trial for ignition period will cause the Safety PLC to remove power from the burner’s pilot gas SSOVs and ignition transformer, annunciate an alarm on the HMI and change the burner’s status to “Faulted”. When a ‘Flame Detected’ is received from the burner’s Combustion Safeguard (within the trial for ignition period), the pilot flame will be given time to stabilize. The pilot flame stabilization time is configurable from the HMI. Following the pilot flame stabilization time, the Safety PLC will apply power to the burner’s primary fuel gas SSOVs (or fuel oil SSOVs depending on the burners fuel selection), given that the fuel flow control valve is in the “At Low Fire Switch” position. The Safety PLC will set the burner’s status to “Main Flame Starting”. The DCS must command the fuel flow control valve to a position such that the Safety PLC receives contact closure of the valve’s “At Low Fire Switch”. The “At Low Fire Switch” must be maintained until the Safety PLC has changed the burner status to “Released to Control”. Failure to maintain the “At Low Fire Switch” will result in the Safety PLC shutting down the burner. After the main fuel gas/oil SSOVs have been opened, the Safety PLC will allow the main burner flame time to stabilize. The main flame stabilization time is configurable from the HMI. Once the main flame stabilization time has expired, the Safety PLC will set the burner’s status to “Released to Control”. At this point, the Safety PLC will remove power from the burner’s pilot gas SSOVs, thus turning off the pilots. When the burner has reached the “Released to Control” state, the DCS can command the corresponding fuel control valve away from the “At Low Fire” position and control fuel flow to the burner as required by the process. 7.5.20 Burner Stop Burners can be individually stopped via the Remote Push Button Stations, or using the individual “Burner Stop” soft-buttons on the HMI. All burners can be stopped using the “Stop All Burners” soft-button on the HMI. When the “Stop All Burners” soft-button is initiated the Fuel GAS SSOVs on all burners are immediately de-energized (closed) by the Safety PLC and the burner’s status is set to “Stopped”. Burners that are firing in “Oil Mode” will undergo a Fuel Oil Post-Purge Sequence before shutting down. The Fuel Oil Post-Purge is necessary to evacuate fuel oil from the burner and associated piping. Failure to complete a Fuel Oil Post-Purge can result in clogged oil passages and failure of the burner to be re-lit using fuel oil. 7.5.21 Fuel Oil Post-Purge Burners that are firing in “Oil Mode” will undergo a Fuel Oil Post-Purge Sequence after a normal stop command has been received from the HMI or the DCS. A burner that has been stopped by a loss of any of the “Fuel Limits” (outlined within Section 2.2 above) will not undergo a Fuel Oil PostPurge. The Safety PLC will annunciate an alarm on the HMI for any burner in which a required Fuel Oil Post-Purge was not completed. The Fuel Oil Post-Purge sequence is outlined as follows: 1) The Safety PLC energizes the burner’s ignition transformer and pilot gas SSOV’s. 2) The Safety PLC will set the burner’s status to “Post-Purge Starting”. 3) The DCS should begin driving the fuel oil flow control valve to the low-fire position.

4) The pilot flame is will be given time to stabilize. The post-purge pilot flame stabilization time is configurable from the HMI. 5) The burner’s fuel oil SSOVs are de-energized by the Safety PLC. 6) The Safety PLC will set the burner’s status to “Post-Purge Active”. 7) The DCS should begin driving the fuel oil flow control valve to the high-fire position. 8) The Safety PLC opens (energizes) the burner’s fuel oil purge valve. The amount of time that the fuel oil purge valve is held open is configurable on the HMI. 9) Once the fuel oil purge valve time has expired, the fuel oil purge air valve is closed. 10) The Safety PLC de-energizes the burner’s pilot gas SSOV’s. 11) The burner’s status is set to “Stopped”. 8.0

PRODUCT SCREENING –AREA 6 Product screen feed bin (B43611) is used to distribute fired product pellets to the product screens (B43522-1, 2). This separation occurs as pellets pass through the screens. Product pellets go to the P-12 (B43047) Product Conveyor. Hearth layer chute pellets (12.5 x19mm) go to HL-12 (B43071) hearth layer conveyor which feeds HL-13, HL-14 to the Hearth Layer Bin (B54013). The emergency product vibrating feeder is programmed to operate based on the product screen feed bin level or the hearth layer bin level. If the product screens are down, the feed to the screens is stopped by closing the screen feed gates. The emergency gate to feed pellets to the HL-13 (B43776) is opened. A software switch now allows the emergency product feeder run at based on hearth layer bin level. An emergency hearth layer hopper is fed by mobile equipment. The reclaimed material travels to the Hearth Layer Bin (B54013). Product pellets on P-12 (B43047) are measured by belt scale (B55221) (WIT-06B0122) and supply the JSPL Product Conveyor. Screened Sinter Fines travel to SF-11, SF-12 to the Sinter Fines Loading Bin (B43520). A sinter fines sampling system (B55402) extracts pellets periodically. The pellets are recovered in a container and taken to a lab for analysis of physical and chemical properties. A Product Screening Bag house (B50006) collects tramp dust from screening. The Product Screening Bag house (B50007) receives dust from the Hearth Layer Separation pickup points. Process Water is used to slurry the bag house dust into the bag house sump (B35010). The product screening bag house sump pumps (B41027-1, 2) pump the slurry to the thickener for Line 1.

Hood Exhaust ESP (B50025)

9.1.1

System Description

5

This is flue gas cleaning system for cleaning the gases from Hood Exhaust circuit of Pallet plant. The system consists of ESP model TE-1. The hot gases having maximum temperature of 105°C is allowed to pass through the inlet nozzle. Gas distribution plates inside the nozzle ensure equal distribution of the gases through different parallel paths formed by the arrangement of collecting plates and e-Tubes. The collecting area is divided into four sections. Each section is fed by TR set of 900 mA (Total 4 Nos. for chamber-1 & 4Nos. for chamber-2), mounted on the ESP rooftop. High voltage of 120 KV DC (peak value) is applied to the e-Tubes. The ash gets collected on the collecting plates. The collecting plates and e-Tubes are continuously rapped from the top by rappers whose operation is controlled by PLC based Microtapper panel located in the control room. Due to rapping, the ash collected on collecting plates is dislodged and collected in the hopper. The ash is discharged to the dust discharge equipment through hopper. 9.1.2

Control And Interlock Provided For The System Mechanical door interlock system The system ensures that no person can enter inside the ESP unless all the Transformer Rectifier units are de-energised, isolated and grounding switches of TR sets GS-1 to GS-8 (For chamber-1 & chamber-2) are in ESP grounded position. Thermostatically controlled Insulator Heater 700 W air heater is provided around each support insulator. A thermostat is provided in the pent house (TC-5 & TC-11) for chamber-1 & chamber-2 to maintain the temperature at 85°C. Thermostatically controlled hopper heaters Hopper heating pads (HH-1 to HH-8) are provided in bottom one-third part of the hoppers to avoid condensation & ensure free flow of dust. The heating pads are thermostatically controlled (TC-1 to TC-4 & TC-7 to TC-10) for chamber-1 & chamber-2. The temperature is maintained upto 110°C . Max. (Adjustable). Level switches in the hopper R.F. capacitance type level switches (LSH1 to LSH8) for chamber-1 & chamber-2 is provided in each hopper. The level switch operates when ash level inside the hopper rises & touches the level switch probe. The first set point level switch gives signal to the audio visual alarm annunciator provided in the Motor Control Center to indicate high ash level in the hopper & trips the TR Set. Even after tripping of TR Set, an ash continues to build up in Hopper, and If the high level alarm is persisting, an Auxiliary Contact High hopper level relay provided in MCC. it is recommended to stop the Furnace after one hour time delay. This prevents ash building up in the hoppers, which ultimately shorts the e-Tubes & collecting plates. Potential free contacts shall be provided in ACP to wire the same for Furnace tripping / stopping & signal to DCS.

9.1.3

Purge Air Blower Purge air blower ensures positive air pressure inside the pent house with respect to ESP casing. The air flows along the inside surface of the support insulators thereby keeping the insulators clean. All the TR sets are wired for tripping in case the Purge Air Blower Trips. Start Sequence Purge air blower ON Then purge air heater will be started (start interlock of PAB with PAH)

Stop Sequence Purge air heater OFF If the heater is OFF, then the blower will be switched off after a time delay of 5 sec approximately. Purge Air heater Thermostat (TC-6 & TC-12) is provided in the purge air heater to protect the purge air heating elements from over temperature 9.1.4

MTP (Micro Tapper Panel) Rapper control system is designed specifically for electrostatic precipitator application. This rapper control system is designed to be use with electrical solenoid type impact Rappers. These Rappers are also called as Thermax impulse gravity impact (TIGI) Rappers. Rapping system is an “ONLINE“operation (i.e. Rappers can be turned ON, when TR sets are energised.) The working principle of the rapping system is as follows: A short duration pulse of high current amplitude is applied to the rapper solenoid coil. Once the coil is energized the rapper rod inside the coil lifts up. The longer the duration of the pulse the higher is the lift. On withdrawal of pulse the rapper rod falls down by gravity. The falling rod makes impact with the e-Tube/collecting electrodes causing the dust accumulated on it to dislodge and maintain their electric field. The rapper coils are energised by MTP through a DC controller individually. The DC controller provides a high current & high voltage pulse of short duration. The +Ve & -Ve ends of the dc controller get connected across each rappers thus selected rapper coil is energized and makes impact on the respective electrode. Rapping system shall be put ON all the time when ID Fan is running irrespective of ESP is charged or not.

9.1.5

Dust conveying system Dust conveying system shall be ON (Running) all the time. If dust conveying system tripped / stopped, then all TR sets & all dust discharge equipment shall be trip. Dust discharge equipment If the dust discharging equipment stopped/tripped, then corresponding TR set shall be trip. I.D. Fan interlock If ash discharge equipment stopped or tripped, then ID fan to be stopped or tripped & signal to Main Automation System to be provided. Provision has to be made for this interlock in Main Automation System.

9.1.6

Theory Of Operation ESP construction & operation is based on the fact that dust particles are passed between a highly charged & grounded electrode. The particles get collected on the grounded electrode. Accordingly, the Thermax ESP is designed to: a) Apply a highly negative charge to gas-borne dust particles. b) Collect the particles on grounded metal plates, which are rapped periodically to dislodge the dust into hoppers. The particles are charged by rows of vertical high-voltage electrodes mounted in parallel frames. The frames are connected at the top to the negative terminal of a high-voltage DC power supply. The collecting plates (grounded electrodes) are parallel to the rows of e-Tubes & alternate with them i.e., plate, e-Tube frame; plate, e-Tube frame.

In operation, the high potential between the negative & grounded electrodes ionizes the surrounding gas & produces a large number of negative ions. (This is known as corona effect.) These negative ions collide with the dust particles & impact their negative charges to them. The negatively charged particles then are drawn to the grounded collecting plates, from which they are periodically dislodged by means of a rapping mechanism. 9.1.6

Voltage Control As the dust laden flue gas passes through the collecting electrodes and e-Tube, the ESP can be considered as a capacitance having variable di-electric strength. The di-electric strength varies due to changing parameters of the flue gases. The high D.C. voltage applied to the ESP has to be continuously adjusted to minimize sparking across the e-Tubes and collecting plates. The voltage controller provided in the Transformer Rectifier control cabinet senses the current feedback from the ESP and does the following functions. i) It maintains the voltage across the ESP at the spark threshold level in all the conditions to achieve maximum efficiency. ii)

During no sparking conditions, maximum power is made available across the ESP.

iii) In case of spark, it brings down the voltage by preset value. The voltage is gradually raised to spark threshold level if no further spark is detected. iv) In case of arc it brings down the voltage to zero and blocks it for preset time. The voltage is restored to the preset value by fast ramp and then to the spark threshold level by slow ramp. 9.1.7

ESP Start Up Procedure Energise hopper heaters, insulator heaters & Purge air heaters twelve hours prior to flue gas passing through the precipitator from Motor Control Center. Start the dust discharge equipment below the Hopper. About one hour before the Furnace is fired, energize the e-Tube and collecting electrode rapper through the Microtapper Panel. Start the Purge air blower from MCC. If purge air system is not working trip TR sets. Ensure all the level switches are switched “ON” and no annunciation is persisting on the MCC. Ensure that the Furnace and ID fans are running and flue gas temperature is above the acid dew point temperature. If the flue gas temperature is less than the acid dew point temperature then damp acid sludge will form on the precipitator internals, and scaling will take place. This will reduce the life of e-Tubes and collecting electrodes. If dust conveying system or dust discharge equipment trips / fail, then trip I.D. Fan After the flue gas temperature reaches above the acid dew point temperature the TR units should be energized. Ensure that TRCC panels are in Auto mode before switching on. After all the TR sets are energized the electrical meter readings should be observed.

9.1.8

Precipitator Shutdown During normal Furnace shutdown the TR sets should be de-energized before I.D. fan is switched off. After all the TR sets are de-energized the e-Tube and collecting electrode rappers should be maintained in service for approx. two hours. Switch `OFF’ purge air blower after I.D. Fan is switched `OFF’ & TR sets are de-energized. Dust discharge equipment should be in service for one hour after Microtapper panel is stopped.

Caution a) It is a must that initially, after shutdown of Furnace or initial charging, the ID fan should be run for at least one hour, to remove explosive gases, if any in ESP, before “Switching ON” the TR sets. b) It is a must that dust discharge equipment below ESP hopper must be running whenever I.D. fan is running. It is always to be ensured that there is no dust accumulation whatsoever in the hoppers. The dust accumulation in the hopper may damage the ESP internals. c) ESP hopper door to be opened, only after I.D. fan is stopped. This is necessary to avoid sudden ingress of fresh air in the hopper which contains dust with high carbon content. d) Dust discharge equipment shall be running all the time. e) Rapping system shall be ON (running) all the time when ID fan is running irrespective of ESP is charged or not. f)

Purge air system is not running then trip the TR sets.

9.1.10 Process Interlock Provision of upstream & downstream process / equipment interlock has been provided in the TRCC panel for tripping purpose.

9.2.1.2 Thermostatically controlled Insulator Heater 700 W air heater is provided around each support insulator. A thermostat is provided in the pent house (TC-9 & TC-19) for chamber-1 & chamber-2 to maintain the temperature at 85°C. 9.2.1.3 Thermostatically controlled hopper heaters Hopper heating pads (HH-1 to HH-8 & HH-9 to HH-16) are provided in bottom one-third part of the hoppers to avoid condensation & ensure free flow of dust. The heating pads are thermostatically controlled (TC-1 to TC-8 & TC-11 to TC-18) for chamber-1 & chamber-2. The temperature is maintained up to 110°C. Max. (Adjustable). 9.2.1.4 Level switches in the hopper R.F. capacitance type level switches (LSH1 to LSH16) for chamber-1 & chamber-2 is provided in each hopper. The level switch operates when ash level inside the hopper rises & touches the level switch probe. The first set point level switch gives signal to the audio visual alarm annunciator provided in the Motor Control Center to indicate high ash level in the hopper & trips the TR Set. Even after tripping of TR Set, an ash continues to build up in Hopper, and If the high level alarm is persisting, an Auxiliary Contact High hopper level relay provided in MCC. it is recommended to stop the Furnace after one hour time delay. This prevents ash building up in the hoppers, which ultimately shorts the e-Tubes & collecting plates. Potential free contacts shall be provided in ACP to wire the same for Furnace tripping / stopping & signal to DCS. 9.2.1.5 Purge Air Blower Purge air blower ensures positive air pressure inside the pent house with respect to ESP casing. The air flows along the inside surface of the support insulators thereby keeping the insulators clean. All the TR sets are wired for tripping in case the Purge Air Blower Trips. Start Sequence: Purge air blower ON Then purge air heater will be started (start interlock of PAB with PAH) Stop Sequence: Purge air heater OFF If the heater is OFF, then the blower will be switched off after a time delay of 5 sec approximately. 9.2.1.6 Purge Air heater Thermostat (TC-10 & TC-20) is provided in the purge air heater to protect the purge air heating elements from over temperature. 9.2.1.7 MTP (Micro Tapper Panel) Rapper control system is designed specifically for electrostatic precipitator application. This rapper control system is designed to be use with electrical solenoid type impact Rappers. These Rappers are also called as Thermax impulse gravity impact (TIGI) Rappers. Rapping system is an “ONLINE“operation (i.e. Rappers can be turned ON, when TR sets are energised.) The working principle of the rapping system is as follows: A short duration pulse of high current amplitude is applied to the rapper solenoid coil. Once the coil is energized the rapper rod inside the coil lifts up. The longer the duration of the pulse the higher is the lift. On withdrawal of pulse the rapper rod falls down by gravity. The falling rod makes impact with the e-Tube/collecting electrodes causing the dust accumulated on it to dislodge and maintain their electric field. The rapper coils are energised by MTP through a DC controller individually. The DC controller provides a high current & high voltage pulse of short duration. The +Ve & -Ve ends of the dc controller gets connected across each rappers thus selected rapper coil is energized and makes impact on the respective electrode. Rapping system shall be put ON all the time when ID Fan is running irrespective of ESP is charged or not.

9.2.1.8 Dust conveying system Dust conveying system shall be ON (Running) all the time. If dust conveying system tripped / stopped, then all TR sets & all dust discharge equipments shall be trip. 9.2.1.9 Dust discharge equipment If the dust discharging equipment stopped/tripped, then corresponding TR set shall be trip. 9.2.1.10

I.D. Fan interlock

If ash discharge equipment stopped or tripped, then ID fan to be stopped or tripped & signal to DCS to be provided. Provision has to be made for this interlock in Main Automation System. 9.2.2

Theory Of Operation ESP construction & operation is based on the fact that dust particles are passed between a highly charged & grounded electrode. The particles get collected on the grounded electrode. Accordingly, the Thermax ESP is designed to: Apply a highly negative charge to gas-borne dust particles. Collect the particles on grounded metal plates, which are rapped periodically to dislodge the dust into hoppers. The particles are charged by rows of vertical high-voltage electrodes mounted in parallel frames. The frames are connected at the top to the negative terminal of a high-voltage DC power supply. The collecting plates (grounded electrodes) are parallel to the rows of e-Tubes & alternate with them -- i.e., plate, e-Tube frame; plate, e-Tube frame. In operation, the high potential between the negative & grounded electrodes ionizes the surrounding gas & produces a large number of negative ions. (This is known as corona effect.) These negative ions collide with the dust particles & impact their negative charges to them. The negatively charged particles then are drawn to the grounded collecting plates, from which they are periodically dislodged by means of a rapping mechanism

9.2.3

Voltage Control As the dust laden flue gas passes through the collecting electrodes and e-Tube, the ESP can be considered as a capacitance having variable di-electric strength. The di-electric strength varies due to changing parameters of the flue gases. The high D.C. voltage applied to the ESP has to be continuously adjusted to minimize sparking across the e-Tubes and collecting plates. The voltage controller provided in the Transformer Rectifier control cabinet senses the current feedback from the ESP and does the following functions. It maintains the voltage across the ESP at the spark threshold level in all the conditions to achieve maximum efficiency. During no sparking conditions, maximum power is made available across the ESP. In case of spark, it brings down the voltage by preset value. The voltage is gradually raised to spark threshold level if no further spark is detected. IV. In case of arc it brings down the voltage to zero and blocks it for preset time. The voltage is restored to the preset value by fast ramp and then to the spark threshold level by slows ramp.

9.2.4

ESP Start Up Procedure Energise hopper heaters, insulator heaters & Purge air heaters twelve hours prior to flue gas passing through the precipitator from Motor Control Center. Start the dust discharge equipment below the Hopper. About one hour before the Furnace is fired, energize the e-Tube and collecting electrode rapper through the Microtapper Panel.

Start the Purge air blower from MCC. If purge air system is not working trip TR sets. Ensure all the level switches are switched “ON” and no annunciation is persisting on the MCC. Ensure that the Furnace and ID fans are running and flue gas temperature is above the acid dew point temperature. If the flue gas temperature is less than the acid dew point temperature then damp acid sludge will form on the precipitator internals, and scaling will take place. This will reduce the life of e-Tubes and collecting electrodes. If dust conveying system or dust discharge equipment trips / fail, then trip I.D. Fan After the flue gas temperature reaches above the acid dew point temperature the TR units should be energized. Ensure that TRCC panels are in Auto mode before switching on. After all the TR sets are energized the electrical meter readings should be observe 9.2.5

Precipitator Shutdown During normal Furnace shutdown the TR sets should be de energized before I.D. fan is switched off. After all the TR sets are de-energized the e-Tube and collecting electrode rappers should be maintained in service for approx. two hours. Switch `OFF’ purge air blower after I.D. Fan is switched `OFF’ & TR sets are de-energized Dust discharge equipment should be in service for one hour after Microtapper panel is stopped.

9.2.6

Caution It is a must that initially, after shutdown of Furnace or initial charging, the ID fan should be run for at least one hour, to remove explosive gases, if any in ESP, before “Switching ON” the TR sets. It is musts that dust discharge equipment below ESP hopper must be running whenever I.D. fan is running. It is always to be ensured that there is no dust accumulation whatsoever in the hoppers. The dust accumulation in the hopper may damage the ESP internals. ESP hopper door to be opened, only after I.D. fan is stopped. This is necessary to avoid sudden ingress of fresh air is the hopper which contains dust with high carbon content. Dust discharge equipment shall be running all the time. Rapping system shall be ON (running) all the time when ID fan is running irrespective of ESP is charged or not. Purge air system is not running then trip the TR sets.

9.2.7

Process Interlock Provision of upstream & downstream process / equipment interlock has been provided in the TRCC panel for tripping purpose. Generally such interlocks are process related & JSPL has to identify for tripping of TRCC in case of unhealthy condition.

9.2.8

Alarms Following alarms will be provided on Motor Control Centre: •

CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW & PHILOSOPHY

11.1

The control system shall consist of a distributed control system (Main Automation System) which interfaces with analog and discrete field signals. It is referred to generically as a Main Automation System but may in fact also incorporate and/or interface one or more programmable logic controller (PLC) systems for discrete logic functions and control of third party equipment. There is a link from the Main Automation System to each MCC for motor control.

11.1.1 The control system shall be programmed to monitor and/or control all equipment associated with the pelletizing plant, from the Main Automation System Human Machine Interface (HMI) or local control stations. 11.1.2 Vendor packages are interfaced to the Main Automation System. 11.2

Control System Configuration

11.2.1 The process control and automation for the pellet plant, feed preparation and product loadout areas is a Main Automation System. The operator functions at each HMI station will include alarm handling and controller manipulation, i.e. set point change and manual control. 11.2.2 Printed documents available at operator command will include operating reports and alarm logs. The format of the reports is configurable and set during design configuration of the Main Automation System. Alarm reporting prints out a list of the alarms, including the date and time of the alarm, the alarm description, the time the alarm was acknowledged and the time at which the alarm cleared. A printout of the controller configurations and copies of the process screens can be made via the color graphics printer. HMI is in SI units of measure. 11.2.3 Analog inputs into the Main Automation System are provided by field instrumentation, including smart transmitters for relaying flow, pressure and temperature signals from the process. Alternately, devices like motor control centers, weigh systems, bin level systems, third-party control

systems and variable speed drives have the capability to communicate directly to the plant control system, minimizing wiring and facilitating startup. Wherever possible, OPC can be used to reduce CPU loading of Main Automation System. 11.2.4 Control Room and Process Control The process control and automation for the pellet plant and feed preparation areas are a combined system, placed into a central control room. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for motor control will be integrated with a distributed control system (Main Automation System) for process control and human/machine interface (HMI). The central control room is located in the same building as the indurating area office facilities. 11.3

CONTROL PHILOSOPHY

11.3.1 The control philosophy follows the control philosophy of existing Plant 1. 11.3.2 Screens showing interlocks and permissives should be provided for equipment as required to allow the operator to troubleshoot items not satisfied. 11.3.3 Main Automation System setpoints are switched from internal to external operation as needed. When an external setpoint is entered, the system will ignore the value calculated by the control algorithm. These modes can be referred to as CALCULATED SP and OPERATOR SP. Transfer between modes should be bumpless. 11.3.4 Motors, Drives and Valves The motor control philosophy is based on the referenced motor control schematics, R-00-1003 through R-00-1007. For LT motors run command will be single maintained output but for HT motors run command will be a pulse only. A switch at the motor shall be able to select ‘remote’, which enables the Main Automation System software to operate the motor, or ‘local’ which enables the motor to be started in the field by a pushbutton. Local/Remote selector switch to be provided. Off position is not envisaged. On a stoppage due to a motor fault, the equipment must be put into HMI manual and stop selected to clear the fault before a restart can be initiated. (Reset PB is generally provided on the motor faceplate to reset faults) The local ‘start’ button, when permitted, shall run the motor. In case of communication failure, start is inhibited. Safety regulations require that any emergency stop button, safety pull-rope, or other similar device will be hardwired directly to the motor control center (MCC) circuit, so as to be able to stop the drive regardless of the operating conditions or mode. The starter shall report back to the MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM the motor status available via software communications. More complex drives may report back additional status data as required. Drawings R-00-1003 through R-00-1007 detail the various types of motor control. MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM software shall include all functionality described for the various motor types. The HMI screen shall display one or more of the following ‘operators’ for individual motors:

‘Auto/Off/Man’ switch; ‘auto’ signifies automatic mode and when selected the motor responds to logical commands to run or starts as part of a group-start; ‘man’ indicates manual mode and the motor can be controlled by the individual HMI ‘pushbuttons’ When a group of drives have been group-started in ‘auto’, turning any particular drive in that group to ‘man’ will not stop that drive, but will only give the operator access to stop or restart that drive individually. However, if that drive is interlocked with other drives (usually to prevent the upstream equipment from continuing to feed the stopped item), the interlock will still be active, and stop the other equipment upstream. When in ‘auto’, there are two ways to stop a group of drives (usually conveyors). Either or both of these ‘stopping modes’ can be programmed, depending on the situation. ‘Programmed stop’, used to shut down a group of material feeding equipment in an orderly fashion and leaving it empty. In this mode, ‘group stop’ will first shut down the feed to the first item in the group; then wait until the next item runs empty, and stop it; and so on down the line until the entire group is stopped and left empty. ‘Immediate stop’, used to instantly stop material delivery from the group. In this mode, ‘group stop’ will stop all the items in the group simultaneously, but leaving the conveyors in the group full of material. In this case, the next ‘group start’ will restart all the items right away (or as quickly as starting power loading will allow). This mode must be selected with care, being sure that all the material handling items in the group are able to restart under full load. Immediate stop can be operated but immediate start mode is not recommended except for emergency. ‘Start/Stop’ Main Automation System pushbuttons or their graphic equivalent, are used to operate the motor in the ‘MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM-man’ mode. 11.3.5 Automated On-Off Valves In general, all automated on-off control valves are shown schematically on the HMI screens and except where explicitly noted will bring up a display when selected allowing the operator to manually control the valve position. Generally manual control bypasses any interlocks. If feedback from position switches is available, the valve position is indicated on the graphic based on switch status. A valve position fault should be generated if the valve does not respond in a reasonable time to a command to move or loses position feedback. If position feedback is not available, the valve graphic will change status based solely on the output logic state. Some valves require a single output while others will have two outputs. Some valves will require an energized output to open, some de-energized. The specific logic blocks for each type of valve should be developed and applied consistently. Regardless of the logic required to operate a valve, the HMI graphic convention and functionality should be consistent throughout all screens. When AUTO mode is selected the valve responds only to control system logic. In cases where the logic latches the valve in position and an action is required by the operator to reset it, placing the valve in MANUAL and selecting close or open can be one way to provide the logic reset. The above sections also apply to shutoff dampers, gates, and vent doors controlled by the MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM. 11.4

All process pumps have the following logical attributes:

Pumps are normally started from the HMI screen manually as required; unless otherwise indicated below, pumps are not part of ‘equipment starting groups’, but are started individually ahead of time as required, and normally left on. After the pump is started from the MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM; and after a time delay, if the drive feedback indicates that the pump has been stopped other than by the operator, a ‘drive fault alarm’ sounds. On a stoppage due to a drive fault, the equipment must be put into HMI manual and stop selected to clear the fault before a restart can be initiated. If the vessel, which feeds the pump, reaches lowlow level (below the point where the low-level alarm sounds), the pump will shut down (or can not be started). High-high level from the vessel being pumped into is not an interlock to the pumps. The high-level alarm in that vessel only warns the operator of this impending possibility. Exceptions to this strategy are noted on the P&IDs. The accumulated run time for all process and lube pumps shall be recorded in the MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM (and be able to be displayed), so that the operator, if he has a choice, (or the MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM logic, if able to make the choice) can start the one in any group with the least service, or periodically change over to evenly distribute the wear. The total accumulated time can be reset at the MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM screen. 11.4.2 Process Pump Pairs with Automatic Backup Starts All process pumps in groups of two (one normally operating and one standby), which pump clear water or other non-settling process fluid will have the non-running, backup pump try to start automatically if the initially started pump has a drive fault alarm as described above and the pump is selected for MAIN AUTOMATION SYSTEM AUTO. Normally both such pumps will be valved open, and non-return valves provided so that no backflow through the standby pump can occur. See Drawing R-00-1005 Detail 4 for Process Pumps with Automatic Backup. 11.4.3 Process Pump Pairs with Manual Backup Starts All process slurry pumps in groups of two (one normally operating and one standby), will have the non-running, backup pump started manually by the operator on receipt of a fault alarm. Slurry pump pairs require manual flushing. When a switchover occurs, the operator must promptly attend to the valving and flushing before the slurry remaining in the stopped pump settles out. 11.4.4 Oil and Lube Pumps See Drawing R-00-1005 Detail 4 for Lube Pumps with Automatic Backup. 11.4.5 Reciprocating Conveyor Control The reciprocating conveyor and wide belt conveyor are supplied by METSO. The components consist of a hydraulic power unit, reciprocating conveyor with dual hydraulic cylinders, and wide belt (B43036). The system includes a local control panel used to perform maintenance as well as speed control.

Included with the reciprocating conveyor are both a hydraulic pump and hydraulic flushing motor drives. Control signals from the Main Automation System include; Interlock-(Permit to run) Reciprocating Run Command Position the Cylinders Output Cooling Fan Run Heater Run Status Inputs to the Main Automation System include: Flush Pump Filter OK Cooling Water Filter OK Main Pump Filter OK Local Maintenance Inputs to Main Automation System from JSPL Local Panel include; Cylinder Forward Cylinder Reverse Cylinder Stop Wide Belt Run, Stop Pumps Start, Stop Remote, Maintenance Switch Reciprocating Conveyor Start, Stop Cylinder Speed Setting (4-20 mA) Wide Belt Speed Setting (4-20 mA) Reciprocating Conveyor Speed Setting (4-20 mA) Start Sequence: Start Double Deck Roller Screen (B43037E, B43037F) Start Wide Belt ( Machine is Running ) Active Horn 5 seconds Start Hydraulic Pumps Start Reciprocating Belt and prove at desired speed Start Reciprocating Cylinder operation at desired speed. Allow Alarms to monitor speed switch and other alarm actions. Reciprocating Cylinder Operation: The output of the Main Automation System Reciprocating Cylinder controller is vendor defined. The time for the cycle is adjusted to meet the reciprocating conveyor speed. The maximum reciprocating time will equal the maximum reciprocating conveyor speed. 11.4.6 Sump Pumps These are pumps which collect surface runoffs or other minor waste liquids or slurries and are controlled as follows: A level switch with a wide band between “off at low level” and “on at high level” is connected to the pump starter through the Main Automation System. This operates the pump as required, without any intervention from the operator. If this switch indicates ‘run the sump pump’ and the pump does not come on after a time, a fault alarm is indicated on the HMI. No level indication or alarms other than the above are required in the Main Automation System. 11.4.7 Pump Seal System

Each process slurry pumps or dust collection slurry pumps in Area 1 ,has water seals, controlled as follows: There is a flow switch in each seal water supply. If the flow switch does not register minimum flow, an alarm is set. This low flow alarm does not shut down the pump, but should be promptly attended to by the operator. 11.4.8 Conveyor Systems Standard Single Speed Conveyors Single speed conveyors are shown on Motor Detail 1 on R-00-1003. General Logic For Conveyors Conveyors can be operated in Automatic or Manual modes. Conveyor operation is conditional based on the status of the start permissives and run interlocks. Conveyor statuses (Ready, running, etc.) and alarms (zero-speed, belt side travel, fault, plugged chute, E-stop) are indicated on the HMI. All side travel switches for a conveyor are wired in series as a single input to the control system. E-stops are hardwired into the motor control circuit with a parallel contact input to the control system for monitoring. Each conveyor in a "GROUP" is interlocked to the conveyor preceding it. starting a warning horn is sounded.

Prior to conveyor

Conveyor GP-12 (B55016) and GP-14 (B43036) are variable speed conveyors; however, the speed is adjusted locally to give proper bed depth. Because the speed of GP-12 and GP-14 are adjusted manually, from a control system standpoint, their operation is the same as a standard conveyor. On a stoppage due to a drive fault, the equipment must be put into HMI manual and stop selected to clear the fault before a restart can be initiated. 11.4.9 Automatic Mode When its local three (3) position selector switch is in the "REMOTE" position, each conveyor is operated via the HMI. Conveyors are group started by clicking on the "GROUP START" command on the HMI and group stopped by pressing the "GROUP STOP" command on the HMI. For each group, it is desirable to have some easy way to know that all members of any group are ready, signified by all starters ‘MCC ready’, all turned to ‘auto’, and all individual interlocks satisfied, and that any other groups or items which need to be running as a precondition are in fact running. There are several ways to do this, depending on the HMI design. One way is to have all the objects in a group show up on a single overview graphic from which the ‘group’ commands are given. Such a graphic could be designed so that it shows a uniform looking ‘green-board’ when everything is ready or, conversely, highlights any unfulfilled precondition in some visually obvious manner. Another approach is to have a pop-up list of all the group’s preconditions, highlighting any precondition not made in a distinctive color. Service items like lube systems, pumps., etc. which serve items in any group are not part of the sequence-start order, They should be started up ahead of time, and be running and ready to work

before the group is started. Where appropriate, a ready status with no critical alarm may be a logical qualification to permit the group to start. 11.4.10

Equipment Starts/Stops. Operator will start the system from the last conveyor, backwards through to the feed equipment. See Operating Manual for details.

11.4.11 Warning Horn System Prior to the start of any conveyor, or any other machinery such as a screen that can endanger personnel by suddenly starting to move, a warning horn or horns shall sound for a predetermined time. Horns are not necessarily assigned to each individual piece of machinery, but rather to areas of the plant such that the entire area near every piece of machinery, or groups of machinery which may be started together, are covered by the warning sound. Therefore, horns are not driven directly by starter contacts in each drive, but by the Main Automation System. It is the responsibility of the detail engineering designer to lay out the horns and assign them to various devices or groups to insure proper coverage. The Indurating Machine does not have a warning horn before starting. Depending on the mode of starting, the horn logic is as follows: When an individual drive is commanded to start from an image on the HMI, the associated horn (or horns in the case of a long conveyor) shall blow for a period, before the drive ‘run’ command is sent from the Main Automation System to the MCC. When a group is started from the HMI, all the horns covering the group’s area shall blow for a time, then the components of the group shall sequentially start in their normal order. It is not necessary for each piece in the group to have its own horn blow delay, unless the start sequence is interrupted. When an item is started from the field in ‘local’ mode, there is no way that the Main Automation System can know that a horn blow is needed. Therefore, a ‘warning horn’ pushbutton, connected to the Main Automation System is provided at the local station for all such equipment. The local operator has to blow the horn manually before starting the equipment.
