1 General operation
The compressor 4D300B-3W_1 described below is situated in a Propylene plant in Dahej, Gujarat
2 2
in India. It is used to compress propylene from a pressure of 1.24 kg/cm a and 1.53 kg/cm a to a
2
discharge pressure of 26.6 kg/cm a. The suction temperature is 59°C. Before and after the first
stage and after the second stage the gas is cooled. The capacity is regulated by valve unloaders
in steps of 100%, 50% and 0%, and by an overall bypass.

2 PREPARATION OF COMPRESSOR UNIT BEFORE STARTING


Before the compressor is allowed to run the following checks and start conditions have to be
fulfilled:
2.1 Check that the cooling water system is in operation (normal and closed cooling water
system).

2.2 Check the oil level in the crankcase (should be approximately in the middle of oil sight
glass).
2.3 Check that the lube oil system is ready for operation and the manual valves are in the
correct position, especially for lineup of the prelube oil pump.
2.4 Check that the pure propylene is available for purging the compressor distance piece.

2.5 Check that nitrogen is available for motor purge (if applicable) and valve control
2.6 The main drive motor can be started only after the pre-lube oil pump has successfully been
running for 2 minutes for prelubrication. This must be considered when the compressor will
be started.

2.7 Check that all manual valves are set to the right position acc. to the relevant operating case.
2.8 The compressor is provided with several safety instruments which check if the respective
operating parameters are within the acceptable limits. Below is the table giving the start-
interlocks of the compressor, that must be considered while starting the compressor –

5 CONTINUOUS OPERATION
The gas flow is controlled through the capacity control as stated below in point 5.1. The
capacity control (by actuating the valve unloaders on the compressor) will be controlled
through the position of the bypass valve.
The bypass valve is controlled through the suction pressure controller PIC-30203 acc. to
the process requirements.

5.1 Capacity control during normal operation


The overall bypass valve PCV-30203 is controlled by the suction pressure (measured by PT-
30203) and automatically set to the required position. From this point on, the DCS will control the
compressor unit based on suction pressure only as follows:

• Overall bypass valve (PV-30203) will open from 0% to approx. 55% to regulate the suction
pressure, according to the pressure setpoint given to the pressure controller PIC-30203.
Positioner PY-30203 will operate the bypass valve automatically.
• if at the point of overall bypass valve approx. 55% open and the valve unloaders are on 100%
and the suction pressure is still decreasing, the valve unloaders will switch to 50% load
(solenoid valve HYS 30260 & HYS 30261 de-energized) and simultaneously the overall
bypass valve will close to approx. 15% open position in order to control the setpoint pressure.
• Overall bypass valve (PV-30203) will now open from 0% to 100% as required to regulate the
suction pressure, according to the pressure setpoint given to the pressure controller PIC-
30203. Positioner PY-30203 will operate the bypass valve automatically.
• if at the point of fully closed overall bypass valve and 50% valve unloader position the suction
pressure is still increasing, the valve unloaders will switch to 100% solenoid valve and
simultaneously the overall bypass valve will open to approx. 50% to control the discharge
pressure.
• Overall bypass valve (PV-30203) will now again open and close from 0% to approx. 55% to
reach the suction pressure setpoint (pressure controller PIC-30203 will control the bypass
valve automatically)

Remark: For details regarding the arrangement of valve unloaders see P&I diagram capacity
control ZNG 122.831.410 (3670-GP-VD-004-8454-ZDM-301302D)

5.2 Capacity control during operation with nitrogen.

5.2.1 During operation with Nitrogen in "Maintenance (Manual)" mode, automatic capacity
control through bypass valve PV-30203 and valve unloaders is suspended.
5.2.2 Due to too high resulting discharge temperatures it is not allowed to run the compressor at
other valve unloader positions than "Maintenance (Manual)". The position remains locked.
Compressor operates only in Maintenance capacity control position.

from SIS or from LOP.

The stop procedure shall be same as described in 6.2.2 with following excemptions
a. No Post lubrication of Pre lube oil pump 33-PG-303
b. No Cooling water pump operation 33-PC-302A/B

c. Capacity control will be switched to 0% without any delay


d. Bypass valves fall in their fail safe position
e. Cooling water heater shut off without any delay

7 LUBE OIL SYSTEM


7.1 The crank gear of the compressor is oil lubricated. The main lube oil pump is crank shaft
driven, therefore always in operation as long as the compressor is in operation. Before
starting and after stopping of the compressor, the individual bearings must be pre or post-
lubricated (see point 1.3). For this, an additional external pre-lube oil pump (item no 33-PG-
303) is mounted. Before the compressor is started, the oil is drawn by this external oil pump
from the sump in the crankcase of the compressor and pumped through the oil cooler (Item
no. 33-EE-310A/B) and filter (Item no. 33-GN-310A/B) to the individual bearings. The cooler
and filter are in duplex construction which allows change over from one cooler to another or
from one filter to another during operation without stopping the machine.
7.2 When starting the compressor, the external pre-lube oil pump 33-PG-303 will run in parallel
with the crankshaft driven main oil pump for approx. 30 seconds (*1). When the main oil
pump has reached full capacity the pre-lube oil pump will be switched off.

7.3 Considering the ambient temperatures, the compressor is not provided with an electrical
heater.
7.4 In case the oil temperature inside the external oil piping drops below 15 deg c (indicated
through TAL-30261) the external pre-lube oil pump 33-PG-303 will be switched on (I-303-O)
automatically (during compressor standstill only).

The external oil pump 33-PG-303 remains in operation


- until next compressor start
or
- until it will be switched off manually by the operator

7.5 If the differential pressure of oil (between outlet of filter & inlet of pump) falls below 2.5
kg/cm2, then the pre-lubrication oil pump is started due to the signal from PDAL-30268 (I-
303-O). This pump will continue operation until it is stopped by the operator or the
compressor is stopped (after post lubrication period). -A

7.6 If the differential pressure of the oil falls further to a value of 2.0 kg/cm , then the PDZALL-
30267 trips the compressor for safety reason.
7.7 If the compressor is tripped due to power failure or oil supply related fault or emergency
shut down (see point 6.2) there will be no post-lubrication.
7.8 The pre lube oil pump itself is provided with start interlocks in case of low oil level LAL-
30222 in the crank case (I-302-O). -A
Remarks:
(*1) time adjustable from 0 to 30 sec., To be set during commissioning at site.

8 COOLING WATER SYSTEM


8.1 The compressor, the lubricating system and compressed gas are water cooled. The cooling
water is led to the individual elements through a supply manifold. The return flow of the
cooling water from each cooling element is individually monitored for temperature.

8.2 There are two different cooling water systems:


A) Closed Coolant System for the compressor (cylinder block, guide bearings & cross
heads)
B) Open Coolant System for the process gascoolers, cooling water coolers and lube oil
coolers

8.4 The open coolant system has two individual connections at the battery limit, one directly to
the compressor foundation for the oil cooler and bypass cooler and one for the water skid.
The supply and return headers for the open cooling water are located on the foundation,
before getting split for the individual coolers. The return pipes from individual coolers are
brought separately to the return header where temperature indicators are located for the
return temperatures.
8.5 The closed cooling water system is completely located on the skid. The supply headers
start from the skid and continue up to an appropriate location near the compressor, from
where the individual lines to the compressor cylinders and cross head are distributed. The
return lines from the compressor are brought individually upto the return header where
temperature indicators are located for the return temperatures. The return sub-header from
the compressor on the skid is provided with a flow transmitter FT-30270 and a temperature
transmitter TT-30268.
8.6 The coolant system is also provided with a expansion vessel 33-VV-309, which
accomodates the expanded volume of the coolant when heated. The vessel is provided with
a level indication and a transmitter LG-30251 / LT-30252, which provides a start interlock
for the compressor (I-302-O) and for the heater (I-304A-O) with LAL-30252, if the level in
the tank is low. Included in the expansion vessel is the heater 33-EZ-313 in order to preheat
the coolant when the cooling water temperature is below the setpoint in order to avoid
condensation. During normal operation, the heater will not be necessary as the compressor
emits enough thermal energy to maintain the water on the required temperature. During
standstill the heater is controlled by the outlet temperature (I-304A-O). The aim is to
maintain the temperature of compressor return line above the setpoint of 35°C. This

temperature is controlled by the temperature transmitter TT-30268. The heater itself is


provided with the following start interlocks (I-304A-O).
• Sufficient Level in the cooling water tank (LAL-30252),to prevent overheating of the
device itself.
• Sufficient flow in the coolant return line (FAL-30270).Without flow, heating of the
compressor can not be maintained.
• Temperature limiter is active (TS-30266) to avoid overheating of the device.
• Sufficient coolant temperature TT-30268. As long as the compressor is heating up
the coolant, there is no need of additional heating by the heater.

8.7 The return flow from the compressor is pumped back into the system with the help of the
cooling water pumps 33-PC-302A or 33-PC-302B. During normal operation, only one pump
is in operation, the other one is standby. If the flow drops below the setpoint FAL-30270, the
standby pump will start (I-308-O) in order to maintain the required pressure in the coolant
system. Both pumps will remain in operation. If the flow is sufficient again, the standby
pump has to be switched off manually by the operator.
During standstill, one of the water pumps will start automatically (I-308-O) if the outlet
temperature drops below the set point TAL-30268 in order to heat up the coolant medium
by circulation. The pumps are provided with a start interlock in case of low level LAL-30252
in the cooling water tank (I-307-O).

8.8 At the down stream of the pumps, the cooler (33-EE-311A and 33-EE-311B) and a three-
way thermostatic control valve (TCV-30270) are located. The thermostatic valve TCV-30270
is set at 35°C at outlet of the valve (rated range 30°C - 41°C). Below the temperatue of
30°C, the valve keeps the passage from the pumps to the compressors (port B to port A)
open. Thus, the water flows into the compressor without being cooled. This helps raising
the temperature of the cooling water faster, so that the cooling water temperature is above
the required return temperature of 35°C (control through TT-30268). If the water
temperature rises above 30°C, the TCV starts opening the passage C to A. However, till the
coolant outlet temperature of 41°C, the water flows through the cooler as well as direct from
the pumps to compressors (mixed flow). If the temperature is above 41°C, the passage C to
A is completely opened and the passage B to A is closed. Thus, the complete flow of water
is now cooled through the coolers (33-EE-311A and 33-EE-311B). The maximum return
temperature of the teped water is limited through TAH-30268.

8.9 If the pressure of the cooling water falls to a value below the setpoint, then the PZALL-
30293 trips the compressor for safety reason.

9 Distance Piece Purge System


9.1 In order to avoid the powder contaminated process gas in the crankcase of the compressor,
the distance piece is purged with pure propylene. The pressure in the crankcase shall
2
always be maintained at 0.5 kg/cm higher than the suction pressure, this is ensured with a
PCV and a flow orifice at the inlet line of the distance piece. If the suction pressure exceeds
2
1.5 kg/cm g, the leakgas over the packing will be vented to the flare via PCV 30208.
