o Temperature and Pressure Sensors (TE01 and PT01): These sensors measure
the temperature and pressure inside the tank to ensure it stays within safe
operating limits. If the temperature or pressure goes out of range,
adjustments can be made by the control system.
2. Fluid Circulation through the System
• Circulation Pump (P101): The system’s circulation pump (P101) draws fluid from the
balance tank (T101) and sends it through the various pipes, sensors, and control
points.
• The circulation pump keeps fluid moving throughout the system to maintain even
temperature, pressure, and chemical properties.
3. Flow through Monitoring and Control Points
• Pressure and Temperature Indicators (PT01, TT02, TT03): As the fluid flows through
the system, it passes multiple monitoring points where pressure (PT01) and
temperature (TT02, TT03) are measured. This helps ensure that process conditions
stay within the designed parameters. These indicators send real-time data to the
control panel (RSG 45).
• Ball Valves (X1, X2, etc.): These are manually operated valves used to isolate sections
of the system for maintenance or flow adjustment. Operators can close these valves
to halt fluid flow in specific parts of the system if needed.
4. Fluid Inspection and Chemical Monitoring in Acrylic Glass Unit (A101)
• Acrylic Glass Unit (A101): This unit allows operators to inspect the fluid visually and
also has additional monitoring devices:
o pH and Conductivity Meters (pH, CO): These sensors measure the fluid’s pH
level and conductivity, providing data on chemical properties that are
essential for quality control.
o Additional Quality Sensors (QE01, QE02, QE03, QE04): These sensors are
likely designed to monitor other environmental and chemical properties,
depending on the application. For instance, they could detect impurities,
check turbidity, or measure other specific chemical properties.
• If any of the readings from these sensors deviate from desired values, an alarm may
trigger on the control panel (RSG 45), and corrective actions can be taken.
5. Control Panel (RSG 45) for Central Monitoring and Adjustments
• The Control Panel (RSG 45) serves as the command center for the entire system. It
collects data from all the sensors (temperature, pressure, level, pH, conductivity, etc.)
and displays it for operators.
• The control panel likely has switches to control pumps, adjust flow rates, and activate
alarms. If the system parameters deviate from the set limits, the control panel will

alert operators to take corrective measures, such as adjusting the flow rate, adding
chemicals, or stopping circulation.
6. Fluid Addition or Draining with Feed/Drain Pump (P102)
• The Feed/Drain Pump (P102) is used to add or remove fluid from the balance tank
(T101).
• Automatic Control with Level Sensors (LSH and LSL): If the fluid level is too low
(detected by LSL) or too high (detected by LSH), the system can automatically start
the feed/drain pump (P102) to adjust the level back to normal. This feature helps
maintain a stable fluid level and prevents overflow or tank depletion.
7. Flow Regulation with Valves
• Butterfly and Non-Return Valves:
o Butterfly Valve is used for flow regulation. It can be partially or fully
opened/closed to control the amount of fluid passing through.
o Non-Return Valve (D) allows fluid to flow in only one direction, preventing
backflow that could disturb the balance tank or other sections.
• Concentric and Eccentric Reducers: These reducers adjust the pipe diameter in the
system to control flow speed and pressure. Concentric reducers maintain symmetry,
while eccentric reducers offset the flow path, which can help prevent air bubbles in
certain situations.
8. Safety and Emergency Features
• The system is designed with several layers of safety to prevent malfunctions:
o Level Sensors (LSL and LSH) provide automatic shutdowns or alarms if fluid
levels reach critical limits.
o Control Panel Alerts: If the system detects unsafe temperature, pressure, or
pH levels, the control panel alerts operators to take immediate action.
o Manual Valves and Isolations: Ball valves and butterfly valves allow manual
isolation of sections for maintenance or emergency purposes.
9. System Shutdown and Maintenance
• When the system needs to be shut down (for maintenance or safety), operators can
close the ball valves to stop fluid flow, power off pumps, and drain the balance tank if
required.
• During maintenance, sensors are recalibrated, pumps and valves are inspected, and
any worn components are replaced to keep the system functioning reliably.

1. Ball Valve
• Purpose: Ball valves are used for quick shut-off or isolation of flow in a system. They
are highly effective for applications that require a full flow or a complete shut-off.

o Body Material: Stainless Steel, Brass, or PVC (depending on fluid
compatibility)

o End Connections: Threaded (NPT/BSP), flanged, or welded
o Operation: Manual or automated (pneumatic/electric actuator)
o Flow Coefficient (Cv): Determined based on size, generally high as they
provide a full-bore path when open.
