    The document describes the components and operation of a typical chemical injection system. The key components are a holding tank, pump, pressure relief valve, pulsation dampener, pressure gauge, back pressure regulator, filters, isolation valves, control valves, check valves. The system uses a pump to deliver slightly more chemical than needed to the control valves, which maintain a constant pressure and output the chemical to individual injection points. The control valves can be calibrated by collecting output in a beaker for a set time.

    Discussion of a Typical Chemical Injection System:

    A typical chemical injection system consists of the following components:


    NOTE : Refer to diagram on page 3
    ƒ Holding Tank – used to store chemical, having material properties that are
    compatible with the chemical being stored.

    ƒ Pump Suction Filter – usually termed “Y” Strainer, used to prevent large
    particles form entering pump suction chamber.

    ƒ Pump – usually a positive displacement type, having sufficient capacity to


    satisfy all injection demand, having sufficient pressure rating to satisfy design
    requirements.

    ƒ Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) – usually a spring loaded, normally closed,


    adjustable valve used to allow fluid to exit from the pump discharge line when
    pressure reaches Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP).

    ƒ Pulsation Damper – used to decrease pressure spikes in pump discharge


    caused by piston type pumps. Can be bladder type or piston type. Bladder
    type is more efficient for eliminating pump pulsation in fluid stream and is
    recommended when using SkoFlo Back Pressure Regulator. Needs Nitrogen
    pre-charge.

    ƒ Pressure Gauge – used to monitor pressure level in the pump discharge line

    ƒ SkoFlo Back Pressure Regulator (BPR) – used to maintain constant


    pressure in the pump discharge line while allowing unused chemical to return
    to the Holding Tank.

    ƒ Pump Discharge Filter – Used to prevent plugging of the SkoFlo control


    valves, must be rated for System MAWP, material selection must be
    compatible with chemical.

    ƒ Isolation Valve – used to isolate SkoFlo control valve from Injection


    System.

    ƒ SkoFlo Control Valve – used to maintain constant fluid output into injection
    point.

    ƒ Three Way Valve – used to allow calibration samples of SkoFlo valve output.

    ƒ Check Valve – used to prevent fluid from flowing into SkoFlo control valve in
    the reverse direction.

    SkoFlo Chemical Injection System Operation:

    To ensure each SkoFlo control valve receives adequate chemical supply, the pump should be
    adjusted to deliver at least 10% more fluid than the sum of all combined injection point volume.
    This condition will cause pressure to rise in the discharge line and is termed Supply Pressure.

    The SkoFlo Back Pressure Regulator (BPR) is adjusted to maintain System Pressure level at
    desired set point while allowing unused chemical to return to the Holding Tank. System Pressure
    Set Point is determined by adding the value of pressure loss through the SkoFlo control valve to
    the value of injection point having the greatest process pressure.

    EXAMPLE:
    There are 5 injection points in our example system described below;
    1.) 200 GPD (757 L/D) at 1500 PSI (103 barg)
    2.) 150 GPD (568 L/D) at 1000 PSI (69 barg)
    3.) 300 GPD (1136 L/D) at 2000 PSI (138 barg)
    4.) 50 GPD (189 L/D) at 800 PSI (55 barg)
    5.) 50 GPD (189 L/D) at 200 PSI (14 barg)

    In this case, our SF5000C would be selected as the recommended model. Our SF5000C requires
    200 PSI (14 barg) Differential Pressure (dP) to properly operate.

    Pump output volume should be adjusted to 825 GPD (3123 L/D).

    System Pressure should be set to 2200 PSI (152 barg).

    Calibration of SkoFlo Control Valve:

    The SkoFlo control valve can be calibrated by manually collecting fluid in a graduated beaker for
    a specific period of time or by installing a flow meter in the injection system.

    For manual calibration, a three way valve is need in the SkoFlo control valve outlet line. The
    three way valve needs to be installed so that one position routes fluid to the injection point and
    another position routes fluid to be collected for measurement.

    To perform the calibration step, route injection fluid through the three way valve to
    CALIBRATION POSITION and capture the fluid. After the collected fluid is measured, adjustments
    can be made to SkoFlo control valve by turning the adjustment handle. This calibration procedure
    should be performed while the injection system is in normal operating condition.

    After successful adjustment to SkoFlo control valve has been accomplished, return three way
    valve to INJECTION position.

    Notes:
    1. Any number of injection points can be served by a single pump and header
    system. The only limitation is the flow capability of the pump.
    2. Check valve must be installed within 5 feet from the SkoFlo Valve.
