Parameter Deviation Causes Consequences Action
Temperature High 1) Air (Stream 1) temperature 1) Damage to Tubes in R-801/E- 1) Sensors and Alarms
2) Methanol (Stream 2) temperature 801/E-802 2) Control Heat Duty in E-801/E-
3) Recycle Methanol (Stream 14) 2) Damage to Catalysts in R-801 802 by valves on mps and hps
temperature 3) Damage to pipe stream respectively.
4) Temperature/Flow rate of mps in E- 4) Altered Conversion 3) Change power input to
801 5) Pressure Build up in R-801 Compressor
5) Temperature/Flow rate of hps in E- 6) Cavitation in P-801 A/B 4) Install redundancies
802 7) Shivering in E-801/E-802
6) Decrease in pumping power of P-801 8) Damage to Impellers in C-801
7) Valve on bfw and mps outlet fail
closed
Low 1) Air (Stream 1) temperature 1) Product quality will reduce 1) Sensors and Alarm on streams 6
2) Methanol (Stream 2) temperature 2) Increase in shell side level may and 7
3) Recycle Methanol (Stream 11) lead to leakage into tubes 2) Control Heat Duty of Exchangers
temperature by their respective utility stream
4) Temperature/Flow rate of mps/hps in 3) Change power input to
E-801/E-802 compressor

Flow Low 1) Pipe Blockage 1) Column Dry Out 1) Bypass
2) Leakage 2) Change in Product Quality 2) Pressure Sensor and Low Pressure Alarm
3) Pump Failure 3) Damage to pipe following P-802 A/B
4) Decreased Efficiency of 4) Toxic 3) Temperature Sensor on cw outlet
E-805 5) Increase in pressure in reflux 4) Control Heat Duty by valve on cw inlet
-High Overhead Vapour drum and column
Rate
-Low flow rate of cw or
higher
5) Temperature of cw
6) Faulty LIC of V-801
7) Faulty FIC following P-
802A/B
High 1) Valve fully open 1) Flooding 1) High Level Alarm at Bottom
2) Increased Pumping 2) Change in Product Quality 2) Bypass on stream 14 with independent
Capacity 3) Rise in Bottom flow measuring element on Reflux line and
3) Faulty LIC of V-801 4) Leakage control flow of methanol to maintain stream
4) Faulty FIC following P- 3 amount
