PIC-E-NTV-627003

The selection of the process equipment shall be based on conditions and


the desired standards for which it is expected to comply. The main goal for
detailing these conditions is to be efficient in terms of equipment reliability.
2.1.1 SEPARATOR
The type of separator to be used is the Upgraded CE Natco. It
shall be constructed with 316L stainless steel to comply with the tank
design temperature and pressure which is 400 F and 200 psi. The
diameter of the tank shall be 2743 mm and 7620 mm height. to
accommodate 600-800 kph flow rate capacity. Its operating parameters
shall range from130 180 psig at water level. Its two-phase entry will be
tangential. The height of steam outlet to inlet is recommended to be
positive with acceptable pressure drop of 7-10 psi.

Principle of Operation

The two phase fluid enters the separator through the two phase inlet
nozzle.

The separation process commences by utilizing the difference in


density of the liquid and the vapor phases of the two phase fluid.

It operates by using the centrifugal force of the spinning steam and


brine mixture inside the separator to force the brine to the wall of the
vessel.

The brine then drops to the bottom of the vessel exiting to the brine
outlet while the lighter steam and gas exits through a pipe extending
up the inside of the vessel.

PIC-E-NTV-627003

The 2-phase phase fluid usually contains carryovers and impurities


present in the steam such as silica and chloride and non-condensable gas
(NCG). The carryovers can be removed by the centrifugal action possible
with the separators design while silica and chloride and non-condensable
gases are found to be difficult to remove, proper selection of materials that
can withstand their effects must be put into consideration.

2.1.2 SCRUBBER
The scrubber purifies the steam by separating the pure steam from
other impurities that the separator failed to remove. This is done to meet
the minimum requirements of the power plant. TheThe plant steam quality
requirements are as follows:
Silica

Maximum of 1.0 ppm

Chloride

Maximum of 1.0 ppm

Steam Quality

Minimum of 99.75%

Non-Condensable gases

Should be between 1.0 to 3.0 ppm

The steam quality can be achieved by using Porta-test scrubber. This high
pressure scrubber shall have an inner diameter of 3657 mm with 1066.8 mm
height. It s shall be built to operate atdesign temperature and pressure will be
405F deg. Fahrenheit temperature and pressureand of 200 pPsig.
Principle of Operation
Primary separation takes place as gas enters through a tangential nozzle,
creating centrifugal force and forcing the heavier liquid particles to the vessel

wall. From there, the liquids drain to the stilled chamber in the bottom of the
vessel.
Secondary separation occurs as the spinning gas converges at the center
of the separator and enters the vortex finder tube. Inside the vortex finder tube,
the gas spins at a higher velocity and forces any remaining entrained liquid to the
tube wall. This liquid is swept upward toward the gas outlet. Prior to exiting the
vessel, the liquid and a 10% side stream of gas are drawn through a small gap in
the vortex finder tube and returned to the primary separation section. A low
pressure area in the primary separation section created by the spinning gas
provides the necessary differential pressure driving force.
2.1.3 FLASH TANK
Flash tank is where a pressurized high-temperature water enters,
as water enters the flash tank a sudden decrease in the pressure causes
the liquid to vaporize into steam. This vapor is released into the
atmospheresteam and the cois thendensate is disposed to the sumpuse
for power generation. Its material construction shall be the made with
carbon steel same with the scrubber since the pressure andwith design
temperature and pressure of experienced by the vessels is measured to
be around 200 psi at 400 F and 200 psi. The flash tank parts are brine
inlet and outlet and vapor outlet for vapor venting, and manhole for
maintenance and inspection.The vessel must be made of corrosion
resistant materials.

are installed for. The highest range of pressure involved is at 200 psi while
temperature is expected to be at around 405 F. The type of material construction
must protect the mechanical and electrical components of an instrument to give
accurate results and prolong its service.

because instrument wire cannot send signals at a further receiver. These boxes
are within process areas where nearby instruments are found and therefore
exposed to hazardous and corrosive environment. The minimum standards for
junction boxes will be based on NEMA enclosure type which covers corrosion
resistance and ability to protect from rain and submersion or the NEMA 4x types.
The enclosure will be made up of 316L stainless steel with 1.5 mm thickness.
The cables that will be inserted into the junction box will be protected by epoxy
stainless steel cable glands to prevent entry of corrosive gases inside the
junction box.
All the wires of field instruments are terminated to the junction boxes. An
area in the fieldn area may consist of different junction boxes depending on its
capacitysignal type. Each instrument has input and output signals which can be
classified either Analog or Digital.Instruments with analog signals will be
terminated in analog junction boxes, while cables with digital signals are
terminated in digital junction boxes.
These boxes shall be elevated with minimum elevation of 1.5 feet,
depending on its size and capacity.
There are cases considering the assigned I/O signal type to the field instruments. If the
accessories are separated from its main field device, then the I/O signal type is

NARRATIVE
The proposed DCS System Architecture for Geothermal Power Plant

Separator, Scrubber and Brine Disposal System is composed of five workstations. It


includes Delta-V Pro-plus for Engineering Workstation, Operator workstation, AMS Suite
for Maintenance workstation, OPC server and Historian workstation for alarm logging.
These workstations gather the data from field devices to execute commands and to
monitor the status of field devices for maintenance purposes.
Delta-V Pro-plus is used in engineering workstation, where the operator or
an engineer has an access in making changes in the control system program. Since
Operator workstation is for monitoring and manually operating the system, it does not
need any Delta-V Pro-plus. AMS Suite for maintenance workstation is used to monitor
field devices status, whether they should be calibrated or replaced with other devices,
this intelligent device manager avoid further damage of the field devices and secure that
plant operation is efficient. Historian workstation archived all the alarms and log errors
to trace them and monitor that the process is in its normal state and is efficiently
running.
These workstations communicate with two smart switches via Industrial
Ethernet to avoid error in delivering the signals from the controllers to the workstation.
Redundant S-series controllers and SIS (Safety Instrumented System) are useused as
a back-up if the active controllers fail to work. SIS or Safety Instrumented System
controller is used for those ESD field instrument. HART module is used for HART
(Highly Addressable Remote Transducer) devices. All digital devices will only be in a
conventional type of wiring. A motor control cabinet (MCC) is provided for centralized
control of motor. All MCC devices are controlled by active S-series controller and SIS

SAFETY
1.

INTRODUCTION

The production of steam can acquire can cause several types of hazards which
are being pre-determined to evaluate the appropriate safety standards to be followed.
These standards are guidelines for the purchase of materials that are applicable for
the area that is classified according to the hazards that are most likely to occur and for
personnel safety considerations. Potential hazards include process hazards, presence
of flammable fluids and combustible gas or vapors, and toxic gases.
Area classifications are based on the presence of possible cause of hazards that
are pre-determined and assumed in a specific location. The most commonly used

codes are from IEC/NEC standards which defines the level of hazard present that may
affect process equipment and personnels health.
Geothermal process hazards are due to the critical temperature and pressure by
which the control system is operating. Another hazard that must be put into
consideration is the emission of hydrogen sulfide and CO2. Hydrogen sulfide is a
highly flammable, explosive gas, and can cause possible life-threatening situations if
not properly addressed. In addition, hydrogen sulfide gas burns and produces other
toxic vapors and gases, such as sulfur dioxide. Excessive amount of carbon dioxide
released to the surface is health threatening and creates environmental issues. At this
stage government involvement is felt.

Basis of Safety and Layers of Protection


Plant safety integrity can be measured by the level of protection it applies. Safety
starts with the basic control system. The BPCS or the basic process control system
provides significant safety through proper design. This automatic sequence has
already considered safety procedures but is not reliable enough to sustain external
sources of hazards. Sometimes the equipment itself can be the source of unsafe
process control. Process equipment exposed to high temperature and pressure and
corrosive environment application are prone to deterioration.
The next layer is still based on the control system wherein automated shutdown
routine is enforced as long as it is within the scope of the configured cause and effect
matrix.

The next layer for protection is the intervention of the operators. In this situation
the accurate decision making determines whether alarming condition can be put into
stabilized state. Operators shall follow enacted protocols as a guide to proper response
to emergencies whenever it occurs.
Another high degree of protection uses automatic SIS. The safety instrumented
system is based on ANSI/ISA 84 functionality safety standards which state the
requirement under IEC/NEC 61511. Automatic SIS does not only include the process
level safety but also for the safety of the personnel. By integration of fire and gas and
basic process control system emergency detection the automatic, SIS is able to
determine the action to take. These actions are configured in the engineering
workstation. Safety instrumented system is also capable of diagnosing the process
equipment reliability.
The next active layer is by means of rupture disks, valves, etc.to mechanically
release process variable at an uncontrolled stage and prevent explosion or fire.
The final layer is the emergency response which includes evacuation plans,
firefighting, etc. and means to minimize ongoing damage, injury or loss of life. Plant
safety regulating body shall impose protocol whenever an emergency occurs. They
shall also assigned areas for evacuation which shall be designed to be accessible all
the time. These areas must be safe all the time even during presence of hazards in
other plant areas. Medical teams and means of transport for evacuation shall also be
considered due to critical process environment.
2.

Safety System (Fail Safe Action)


Geothermal power plant process control system safety and efficiency shall not

only be based on the configured final control element response to configured sequence.
Programmed sequences are dependent on system supplies such as pneumatic and

electrical supplies. When these supplies fail, process sequence are interrupted which
will make process control unstable. Fail safe actions must not be dependent on the
program which the final control elements follows but must beare mechanically capable
of giving the safest possible position in case power interruptions occur. The required
predetermined control elements fail-safe actions of final control elements areis shown
in Table 1. Also, provided at Table 2 is the action taken at a specific process alarm

System Architecture (Delta V SIS)


The integrated Delta V SIS in the system architecture shall have a

separate controller from the basic process controllers to achieve a higher degree of
plant and personnel protection and in compliance with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511
standards. The geothermal process control system shall have a redundant safety
instrumented system to maximize safety and efficiency within process control.
Safety instrumented system is composed of any combination of sensors, logic
solvers, and final elements which is separated from the process control system.
This can include safety instrumented control functions, safety instrumented
protection functions, or both.
The role of the workstations for safety purposes in the system architecture is as
follows: 1.) Proplus Station for cause and effect matrix configuration; 2.) Operator
workstation for process monitoring and remote intervention to process controls
specially during occurrence of process emergencies; 3.) Application workstations
(Historian) for alarm data archiving coming from process control transmitters and
fire and gas detectors; 4.) Application workstations configured as OPC is
responsible for open communication between devices with different protocols and
5) Application workstations for maintenance which diagnose process equipment
problems before they occur. The communication between controller and supervisory
level will be made possible using Ethernet.
The Delta V SIS controller will act as back-up system for which the main purpose
is to monitor continuously the ability of sensors, logic solvers, and final elements to

perform on demand, with faults diagnosed before they cause spurious trips and
implement response to alarms in case the basic process control system fails.
Unstable process control results to alarming conditions that affects plant integrity in
operating at stable and safe conditions.
3.

Emergency Shutdown System

The imposed safety system will include an emergency shutdown that is not
dependent on loop action as it independently shutdown control elements. The ESD
system is integrated in to the fire and gas system where both prevent and provide safety
from incidents and unnecessary shutdowns. All plant areas will be provided with safety
fire and gas detecting instruments in compliance with the standards imposed by the
regulating bodies for safety.
ESD system shall be hierarchal. Minor alarm action will trip an instrument so that
technicians can troubleshoot the area affected. Hierarchal ESD minimize dead time
costs or losses due to production loss.
An overall shutdown will be located at the central control room. The officers-incharge or authorized personnel are responsible in tripping this centralized ESD push
button except for extreme and critical situations.

Safety board will assign level of

alarming condition where crews nearby can use this emergency button.
Strategic location for ESD stations with panels for system conditions, alarm
monitoring and location of affected area will be provided. Response is predetermined for
officer in charge to choose the corresponding action to a specific alarm condition. Push
buttons installed for a specific emergency response are hard-wire and normally deenergized to prevent short circuit, line breaks, or ground fault. ESD can also be initiated

3. Leak Detection System


Process equipments which areis responsible for process variable such as steam,
brine and fresh water supply transmission shall be monitored to keep thesethese
equipments reliable in transmitting the expected process output.
A level transmitter is integrated in all non-submersible pumps to detect fluids that
comesfluids that come out from these pumps. The transmitter will link its
measurement to the SIS controller to give the corresponding action to take. The
action usually taken at this condition is tripping the working pump and gives its work
to a back-up pump.

The fire detection system is integrated into the design to minimize risk of
equipment destruction and personnel safety. Smoke detectors and other fire
detecting instruments are looped separately from process design but are integrated
into the delta V SIS for to provide interlocks to process equipment and provide safety
action in case fire occurs. Multiple installation of fire detecting instruments in an area
will increase the accuracy in terms of locating the defective area. Fire detecting
instruments are hard wired to delta V SIS controllers therefore special modules will
not be required.
Operator interfaces and indicators shall be installed to determine level of risk and
location of fire. Stations for manual fire alarm trigger will also be installed in different
plant areas. When these alarms are triggered by officers in charge, it usually intends
to imply a heightened level alert and response would be overall emergency
shutdown and evacuation. Personnel are obliged to report emergency status and
provide appropriate response to these alarms.
Fire detector output such as audible and visual consoles will be based on how
critical the present situation is. This is to provide accurate response in case fire
occurs.

Gas Detection System


Gas detection system comprise of instruments that measures level of risk once

an unstable amount of toxic gases or combustible gases reaches the surface or


exposed to an area. These gases are usually in the form of carbon dioxide and
hydrogen sulfide. Gas detectors are either installed at multiple points in an area or
single gas detectors.
Alarms will only read normal gas condition, toxic or combustible gas level rising
and alarming level of gas detected.
Gas detection system does not require special module in a controller. Its 4-20 mA
signal to controller can support interfacing with the controller level and into the
supervisory level for complete safety compliance with IEC 61511.
Plant areas that usually exposed to this combustible and toxic gas are usually
found in venting areas. These areas include the well-field and the plant-site vent
mufflers. Pipelines will also be provided with gas detectors for cases where leaks occur.
Graphical and tabulated data will be recorded in the in the historian workstation
for periodically evaluation of plant safety status. Location, alarm status and options for
alarm action will be displayed in HMIs and workstations.
