1. Introduction
This manual provides a functional overview, start-up procedure, preventative maintenance and
general troubleshooting guide for the Tenova Goodfellow EFSOP® 8124 single stream equipment.

Tenova Goodfellow EFSOP® System Overview


The Tenova Goodfellow Expert Furnace System Optimization Process (EFSOP®) measures and
analyzes real-time off-gas chemistry from the forth-hole of the Electric Arc Furnace. The measured
off-gas enables the system to dynamically optimize the chemical energy consumption of the electric
arc furnace.

Figure 1.1 below gives a basic overview of how the system extracts the off-gas sample, analyzes the
sample and determines optimal furnace set-points through the SCADA computer. The optimal set-
points are sent from the SCADA computer to the Plant PLC to complete the dynamic control of the
furnace.

The major components of the system include; a patented water cooled probe, a heated sample line, a
multi-gas analyzer and the HMI/SCADA computer.

The off-gas sample is collected from the EFSOP® water cooled Off-Gas Sample Probe mounted in
the water cooled D1-duct. Figure 1.2 shows the components of the probe assembly which consist of
an outer water cooled jacket and a filter holder assembly. The sample gasses are drawn under
vacuum through the barrel of the water cooled jacket and into the filter holder assembly. The filter
holder assembly contains a filter which removes the bulk of the furnace dust that is extracted with the
furnace off-gases. Further details of the EFSOP® Off-Gas Probe are provided in Attachment 12 –
“Other EFSOP® System Components”.

The gases are then transported through a heated line for maintaining sample integrity until it reaches
the analyzer cabinet. Upon reaching the analyzer cabinet the sample is filtered for dust and removed
of moisture before reaching the multi-gas analyzer. The multi-gas analyzer measures levels of O2,
CO, CO2 and H2 and sends the data to the Plant PLC in the form of 4-20mA signals or to the plant
network through an Ethernet connection from the Analyzer PLC.

The EFSOP® SCADA/HMI computer evaluates the analyzer data and determines the optimal set-
points for the furnace equipment (Burners, Injectors, Damper position, etc.) for dynamic closed loop
control. Refer to the EFSOP® SCADA/HMI manual for details on the EFSOP® SCADA/HMI.
Tenova Goodfellow EFSOP® Analyzer Overview
The EFSOP® Analyzer is a key component of the Tenova Goodfellow EFSOP® system. The
analyzer in the context of this manual refers to all components contained within the analyzer cabinet.
The EFSOP® Analyzer performs four main functions which are listed below:

1. Provide vacuum to extract the off-gas sample from the process.


2. Condition and analyze the composition of the off-gas sample.
3. Provide the analyzed data to the EFSOP® HMI/SCADA computer and plant PLC network for
logging and control.

4. Perform periodical purging of the EFSOP® probe, heated sample line and internal filters to
ensure reliable and continuous process analysis.

The analyzer must be installed in a controlled and monitored environment to ensure proper
functionality and safe operational practice related the processing of harmful gases. Refer to the
“Analyzer Environment and Operating Requirements” found in section 5 of this manual for more
details.

Harmful gases are vented and drained from the analyzer and these are to be transported to a safe
location outside of the analyzer room. A carbon dioxide monitor is provided inside the analyzer to
detect for internal leaks. In the event of a leak the analyzer pump will shut down to stop the extraction
of gases from the process.

The measurement accuracy of the analyzer is maintained through regular calibration. Calibration is
achieved through the use of calibration gases of known composition in pre-defined ranges.

The operation of the analyzer requires electrical power supply and nitrogen gas to activate the
pneumatic valves. Nitrogen is also used as the purge gas to clean both the EFSOP® probe and
sample extraction line between the probe and analyzer.

The analyzer off-gas composition data, alarms and other functional parameters are passed to the
plant PLC in the form of 4-20mA hard wire signals or to the plant network through an Ethernet
connection from the Analyzer PLC.

Figure 1:3 indicates the data pathways for the EFSOP® system and utility requirements for the
analyzer room.

Hazardous Gas Warning


Hazardous gases are discharged and exhausted from the EFSOP® analyzer as part of its normal
operation. There are five discharge/exhaust ports located on the analyzer; three gases vents one
liquid drain and one cabinet exhaust. All gases and liquids discharged/exhausted from the analyzer
are to be routed outside of the analyzer room, and are not to be vent into any confined spaces.

Hazardous gases processed by the analyzer are contained in the collected off-gas, purge medium
and in the gases used for calibration of the analyzer. These gases may contain high concentrations
of Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen and Nitrogen. Table 2.2 below describes the harmful
nature of each gas species processed by the Analyzer.

Table 2.2: Hazardous Gas Description

Gas Gas Name Hazard


CO Carbon Monoxide Toxic and Flammable
CO2 Carbon Dioxide Asphyxiant
H2 Hydrogen Flammable
N2 Nitrogen Asphyxiant

Accumulation of these gases in confined spaces, both individually and in combination could be lethal
and/or dangerous (flammable and/or explosive). It is the responsibility of the plant to request Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) from the calibration gas supplier. MSDS’s are to be prominently posted
near the EFSOP® Analyzer and the calibration gas cylinders. Examples of generic MSDS are
provided in Attachment 6 of this manual.

The analyzer room is considered to be a confined area; good engineering practice and local
regulations may require air-quality monitoring equipment to be installed. Any personnel using the
room or working with the analyzer should be informed about the risks of exposure to high
concentrations of CO, CO2 and an atmosphere containing less than 19% Oxygen.

Analyzer Safety System


The EFSOP® Analyzer is supplied with a carbon dioxide gas monitor for detection of CO leaks inside
of the analyzer. In the event of a CO leak an alarm will be triggered and the analyzer pump will shut-
off to prevent further accumulation of harmful gases inside of the analyzer and analyzer room. The
alarm level has been factory set to 250 ppm. A visual alarm is indicated on the analyzer cabinet and
the analyzer HMI. A digital signal is also sent to alarm on the EFSOP® computer.
CONFIDENTIAL - This document is the confidential property of Tenova Goodfellow Inc.
8124 Single Stream EFSOP® System Manual – IVACO Page 12 of 67

The analyzer is designed with two methods for automatically stopping the pump in the event of a high
CO alarm. Both methods will simultaneously interrupt power to the pump and are described below in
detail.

One method is through the analyzer PLC, where a 4-20mA signal is sent from the cabinet CO monitor
to the analyzer PLC to indicate the measured level of CO. The alarm level to trigger the pump shut off
is configured in the PLC through the analyzer HMI parameter setup screen (set to 250 ppm). Refer to
Attachment 11 “8124 Single Stream EFSOP Analyzer HMI Screens” for details on the HMI parameter
setup screen. When the measured CO level exceeds the set level on the PLC a contact relay is
triggered to cut off power to the pump. The pump can only be restarted by acknowledging the alarm
and manually re-starting the pump through the analyzer HMI. Refer to Attachment 2 “8124 Single
Stream EFSOP System Maintenance Schedule and Procedures” for details on acknowledging CO
alarm and restarting the pump. Note that only qualified trained personnel should acknowledge CO
alarms and restart the pump. The resolution for the source of the CO leak must be resolved before
proceeding to restart the pump.

A second fail safe method is made through a direct hardwire connection from the CO monitor to the
pump power circuit. A contact relay is triggered to cut power to the pump when the CO monitor
measures above the “HI” CO alarm level (250 ppm) set within the CO monitor. Power to the pump is
automatically restored when the CO monitor measures levels of CO below 250 ppm. It is important to
note that alarms triggered directly on the CO monitor are not recorded or displayed on the analyzer
HMI. In the event that the PLC does not recognize a high CO condition and the CO monitor has shut
of power to the pump; the analyzer HMI will alarm for “Low Sample Flow” and/or “Low Bulk Flow”. In
this situation refer to Attachment 4 “8124 Single Stream EFSOP System Troubleshooting Guide”.

The EFSOP analyzer is equipped with a third optional method to stop the pump based on the plant
provided room air quality monitors. A normally open digital contact labeled as “Pump Interlock” on the
terminal block (TB1) is available to interlock the pump from a powered in 2-wire digital input from the
plant PLC. The methodology sending and resetting the pump interlock signal will reside in the plant
PLC and at discretion of the plant to implement.

It is the responsibility of the plant to perform routine calibration and maintenance of the CO monitor to
ensure proper operation. An alarm is triggered on the Analyzer HMI when the Analyzer CO monitor is
malfunctioning or requires maintenance. This alarm event will also shut down the analyzer pump and
is triggered through the analyzer PLC.

8124 Single Stream EFSOP® System Manual – IVACO Page 15 of 67

The Sample Conditioning System draws the off-gas sample from the process through the EFSOP®
patented water-cooled probe and heated sample line via a dual headed vacuum pump. The system
then removes dust and moisture from the sample before passing a small portion to the Sample
Analysis System. The system generates by-products from its operation that are discharged from the
analyzer drain and off-gas vent port.

An internal dust filter located in the heated box of the sample conditioning system, along with the
EFSOP® probe filter and heated line are periodically purged with Nitrogen or an alternative gaseous
medium available in the plant (compressed air, CO2, etc.). The conditions for initiating the purge are
established through the Control System.

Pneumatic actuators in the sample conditioning system regulate sample flow and route the off-gas
sample through the conditioning areas. Pneumatic actuators are also used to route the purge gas for
cleaning and the calibration gases to the analyzer for calibration. The control of the pneumatic
actuators during purge and calibration are performed by the Control System.

The Sample Analysis System analyzes the polished off-gas sample supplied by the Sample
Conditioning System. The off-gas concentrations measured by the Analysis System are sent to the
Control System to be output to the plant automation system and analyzer HMI.

The operation of the Sample Analysis System and Sample Conditioning System is controlled by the
Control System. Output signals of the two systems are sent the Control System for monitoring and
control. These outputs are supply locally to provide visual information to the operator and are
available to interface with the plant automation system. All functions of the analyzer Control System
are realized using a programmable logic controller (PLC). User defined input parameters are entered
through a touch screen HMI which forms the final aspect of the Analyzer Control System.

The off-gas sample extracted from the process reaches the sample conditioning sub-system through a
heated sample line. The sample is then drawn through filter elements located inside of a heated box
mounted external to the main analyzer cabinet. The temperature of the heated line and the heated
box is maintained to approximately 110 ºC by the analyzer PLC. The controlled temperature has
been factory set to ensure that moisture contained in the sample does not condense before particle
filtration. This temperature is configurable through the Analyzer HMI if required.

8124 Single Stream EFSOP® System Manual – IVACO Page 18 of 67

A dual head vacuum pump provides the suction required for transporting the sample off-gas from the
EFSOP® probe through the heated line and heated box filters. The pump draws the off-gas sample
continuously at an average rate of 40 LPM under a vacuum pressure less than 18 inches Hg. The
sample will be under positive pressure once it passes through the head of the vacuum pump. This
arrangement permits all drains and vents from further processing to be under positive pressure. A
bulk flow meter and vacuum transmitter with pressure gauge, monitor the flow and vacuum produced
by the pump.

A small sample is then split from the bulk sample for further conditioning and chemical analysis. A
sample flow meter, sample pressure gauge and sample flow valve regulate the flow of the partitioned
sample to approximately 3 LPM. The remaining bulk sample is discarded through the off-gas vent.

The split sample for analysis then passes through a Thermal Electric Cooler (TEC), where it is dried to
less than 8oC dew-point with a control range not exceeding 2oC. The purpose of the TEC is to
condense and remove all water out of the sample prior to reaching the analysis cells. The condensed
water is captured into a bowl located below the cooler. A valve opens to evacuate the water out of the
analyzer through a drain port. This valve is controlled by the PLC and will only open during the probe
purge sequence and will remain closed during normal operation on the analyzer.

The dry and cooled sample then passes through a water slip detector to ensure all moisture is
removed. If water escapes past the TEC, the water slip detector will provide a contact closure to the
PLC. This will initiate an alarm and start the probe purge cycle causing the drain valve from TEC and
a second drain valve located at the water slip detector to open. Once the probe purge cycle has
been completed the drain valves will close and off-gas sampling will commence. If the water slip
detector alarms for more than three times during the course of an hour, then the vacuum pump is
automatically shut off by the control system.

After passing through the water slip detector, the dry cooled sample undergoes a final filtration to
remove any particulates or congealing prior to being delivered to the Analysis System. At this point
the off-gas sample is referred to as the polished off-gas sample. In order for the polished off-gas
sample to be analyzed accurately, the flow into the analysis system must be regulated while
maintaining a constant pressure. This allows the measurement cells to give a consistent output and
maintain a consistent lag time for the sample to travel from the pump to the analysis system (lag time
<5sec). It is important to note that the polished sample flow meter and pressure gauge regulate the
sample valve that splits the bulk sample just prior to the TEC in order to maintain the minimum
polished sample flow and pressure.

Sample Conditioning System – Purge Function


During the normal course of operation, the EFSOP® Probe will plug as dust and debris accumulates
on the internal filter and on the inside walls of the probe (probe barrel). In order to ensure continuous
analysis, the probe is purged by the EFSOP® Analyzer during the periods of time when off-gas
analysis is not required (for example when the furnace is charged with scrap or tapping).

The analyzer purging function performs both a Probe Purge and Internal Probe Filter Purge. The
probe purge uses a dedicated purge line to the probe for cleaning the barrel of the probe. The filter
purge cleans the sample filter in the heated box and the filter sock in the probe through the heated
sample line. The analyzer has the capability of independently activating the probe and filter purges.
There is an option to have the purges initiated manually from the analyzer HMI as well as remotely
from the plant’s automation system using a dry relay contact closure. The purging medium (Nitrogen,
compressed air, CO2 or any other gas the plant has available for this purpose), is supplied by the
plant and regulated to a pressure of 6 to 7.5 bar (85-105psig). A flow of approximately 0.5Nm3/min
(18-20cfm) without pressure drop for approximately 5 minutes is required.

Table 3.1, provides the description and functionality of the major components in the sample
conditioning system. The component labels indicated in the P&ID schematic of Figure 3.3 are
provided below. This naming convention is used throughout this document, the analyzer HMI screens
and attached Engineering drawings. Please refer to Attachment 5 “8124 Single Stream EFSOP®
Engineering Drawing Package” for a complete flow schematic of the entire analyzer.

The polished sample flow is split into a sample and bypass stream as it enters the Sample Analysis
System. The sample stream sends the polished sample flow for analysis and by pass flow to vent
outside the analyzer. The flow meters are manually set to allow for a minimum of 0.3 LPM sample to
reach the gas detectors for analysis. Flow meters are equipped on each stream with flow transmitters
to send information in form of 4-20 mA signals to the control system. The bypass aids in ensuring fast
response time of the analyzer by facilitating a larger volume through the sample analysis system.
The polished sample passes through a liquid block filter to remove and ensure no moisture enters the
gas detectors. The four gas detectors and liquid block filter are housed inside a 19” rack mounted
drawer.
The signal from the gas detectors is fed directly to the Analyzer PLC thru 4 analog (V to mA)
converters.
The analyzed sample and bypass sample are exhausted through the bench vent port of the analyzer.

Hydrogen is detected by a temperature


controlled, thermal-conductivity cell (T/C cell).
The TC cell has a lifespan of approx. 5 years. It
is housed in a temperature controlled chamber
at ~120oF. This is to provide maximum stability
over time. A solid state temperature controller
maintains the chamber at the proper
temperature. This detector does not contain
any moving parts. It does not burn the sample

(pots) are located on the pre-amp board which
is mounted directly on the top of the T/C cell.
These should never have to be adjusted but
are available if necessary. The T/C cell is also
affected in a predictable manner by the
presence of CO and CO2 in the sample gas.
To counteract the effect, the PLC will
compensate the signal based on the CO and

Analyzer Control System
The Analyzer Control System consists of a PLC, HMI Panel View Touch Screen and outputs provided
by all the controllable components from the Sample Conditioning and Sample Analysis Sub-Systems
of the Analyzer. The aspects of the analyzer HMI will be discussed further in the “Analyzer Operation”
area of this manual.

Logic for the probe and filter purge sequence, water slip alarm, analyzer CO safety alarm, analyzer
calibration, sample flow regulation and temperature regulation are controlled by the analyzer control
system. Alarm threshold set points for flow, temperature and time are also configurable through the
Control system.
CONFIDENTIAL - This document is the confidential property of Tenova Goodfellow Inc.
8124 Single Stream EFSOP® System Manual – IVACO Page 27 of 67

Purge Control
The onset for the probe and filter purge is initiated by a signal that is received from the plant
automation system. This signal is typically sent for the EAF roof open status during charging of scrap
into the furnace. A forced purge signal can also be initiated from the analyzer HMI or remotely from
the EFSOP® computer. The purge sequence cycles between a probe purge and filter purge, the
duration for each cycle and number of cycles is configurable through the analyzer HMI.

During the probe purge the PLC activates solenoid valve S103 to open valve V103. This permits
nitrogen to travel from the analyzer through the purge line to the probe and clean the barrel of the
probe. Once the set duration for probe purge has expired the PLC will activate solenoid valve S103 to
close valve V103 to stop the flow of nitrogen to the probe. See figure 3.3, P&ID Schematic Sample
Conditioning System for valve locations.

The filter purge is configured to start after the probe purge. This purge operation is two staged
beginning with the purge starting through the primary heated box Filter101 to the probe filter for a set
duration. After the set duration has passed Filter101 will be bypassed and the nitrogen will flow to the
probe filter via the heated line. The duration for each stage of the filter purge is configurable through
the control system. When the filter purge is initiated, the PLC will activate solenoid valve S101 to
open 3-way valve V101 to a position that will isolate the sample stream just prior to heated box
Filter102. The position of the V101 valve will also permit nitrogen to flow through the primary heated
box filter through the heated sample line to the probe filter. After the set duration for purge with
primary Filter101 pass has expired the PLC will activate solenoid valve S102 to open valve V102.
This will permit the bulk of the nitrogen flow to bypass the primary heated box filter as it is the path of
least resistance. Once the duration for the filter purge has passed both solenoid valves S101 and
S102 will be activate by the PLC. Valve V102 will close and 3-way valve V101 will be positioned to
close of the nitrogen flow to the sample stream and permit sample off-gases to enter into analyzer.
See figure 3.3, P&ID Schematic Sample Conditioning System for valve locations.

Based on the number of purge sequence repeats configured by the Control System the purge cycle
for both probe and filter purge will continue until the last cycle is completed. The maximum number of
cycles is configured through the analyzer HMI.

Analyzer Auto Calibration


Figure 3.7 shows the P&ID schematic for the analyzer components described in the auto calibration
process.

Figure 3.7: P&ID Schematic indicating Valve and Solenoids used during Auto Calibration

The analyzer auto calibration is triggered manually from the analyzer HMI. When the auto calibration
is triggered the PLC activates solenoid valve S109 to close valve V109. This isolates the Sample
Analysis System from the Sample Conditioning System preventing the sample off-gas from entering
into the analyzer bench. At the same instance the PLC activates solenoids S106 and S108 to open
valves V106 and V108. This will vent the sample off-gases being continuously processed through the
sample conditioning system. It is important to note that the off-gas sample continues to be collected
and processed through sample conditioning sub-system in order to minimize delays in sample
analysis once the calibration process has been completed.

8124 Single Stream EFSOP® System Manual – IVACO Page 29 of 67

The zero calibration is initiated first by the PLC, which activates solenoid valve S116 to open valve
V116 to allow the zero gas to enter into the analyzer bench. The gas flows through the analyzer
bench for the configured purge time (typically 60 to 90 seconds) before zeroing all 3-gases and setting
the span value for oxygen. Once this is completed the Analyzer PLC initiates zero/span calibration for
H2 respectivelly O2 signals (coming directly from the cells thru the V to mA converters). This
procedure takes 12 seconds..Once this process is complete the PLC will close valve V116 through the
solenoid and open valve V117 to allow the Span gas to enter into the analyzer bench. The Span gas
will also purge the bench for the configured duration before setting the Span value for the remaining
three gases (CO, CO2 and H2). Once this is completed the Analyzer PLC initiates span/zero
calibration for H2 respectivelly O2 signals (coming directly from the cells thru the V to mA converters).
This procedure takes 12 seconds.. Once the calibration is complete the PLC closes the Span valve
and sample vent valves. Valve 109 will be also be opened and to allow the flow of the off-gas sample
into the analyzer bench for analysis.

During the auto calibration process a command signal from the PLC activates the zero and span
values individually on the NDIR board. This process is initiated after the set purge times have elapsed
for each of the calibration gases. When calibrating the span gas, the NDIR board compares the CO
and CO2 outputs to the entered pre-set values for each gas. Any deviation from the pre-set values is
automatically corrected in the NDIR board and then sent to the PLC as corrected 4-20 mA outputs.

The initiation of the calibration procedure requires the user to manually open the calibration cylinders
prior to commencing and closing of the cylinders after completion. Refer to Attachment 2 “8124
Single Stream EFSOP® System Maintenance Schedule and Procedures” for more details.

4. Analyzer Operation

Introduction
The internal functions of the EFSOP® Analyzer are controlled by a PLC. Information regarding the
current state and operation of the analyzer is available through the analyzer HMI. Details regarding
the operation of the analyzer HMI are provided in section 6 “Analyzer HMI” of this manual.

The EFSOP® Analyzer operates in four basic functional states of operation. Table 4.1 below defines
the four functions states of operation.

Analyzer Power up and Shutdown


This section describes the operational state S0-power up and the analyzer shut down procedure.

Analyzer Power up State (S0)


When the analyzer unit is powered-up it enters into a brief heating up sequence (aprox. 10 min.)
followed by a calibration sequence, where the user has three (3) choices:
1 – Push the Yes button on the screen which will start the zero calibration sequence (using the
calibration gas cylinder)
2 – Push the No button on the screen which will bypass the zero calibration sequence and an alarm
will be triggered (the alarm will reset by performing a zero calibration sequence).
3 – Do nothing and in this case the analyzer will wait for aprox. 10 minutes after which will perform a
zero calibration sequence by starting the vacuum pump and the valve V120 and closing the three way
valve V101.

Upon completion of warm up sequence, the analyzer will move to normal operation were off-gas
sampling will begin. At this point the functional operational state of the analyzer transitions from S0 to
S1 (Sampling). At this transition point the HMI screen will automatically display the MAIN screen, see
Attachment 11 “8124 Single Stream EFSOP® Analyzer HMI Screens” for examples of the Main
Screen.

Analyzer Shutdown
The EFSOP® Analyzer can be powered down without any problems by turning off the electrical power
to the unit. Although, all components of the analyzer are set to remain in a fail safe position when de-
energized, the operator should ensure that the unit will remain de-pressurized. As a precaution the
main Nitrogen supply lines should be closed and any nitrogen remaining in the lines should be vented.

8124 Single Stream EFSOP® System Manual – IVACO Page 33 of 67

Normal Operation States – Sampling, Purging and Calibration


In this section the sampling, purging and calibration functional states of the analyzer are discussed.

Sampling State (S1)


Upon completion of warm up, the analyzer commences normal operation by entering in state S1.
Once the unit enters state S1, the sample off-gas flows through the sample conditioning and sample
analysis sub-systems described in section 3 “EFSOP® Analyzer – Internal Sub-Systems” of this
manual.

The sample pump draws the heated off-gas from the probe, through the heated line and into the
heated box. The sample passes through a dual stage heated filtration system. Once the gases pass
through the pump head they leave the vacuum side of the sample conditioning system and enter the
pressurized side on sample conditioning system.

Downstream of the pump the sample off-gas is split into two streams; one stream is vented while the
other continues through the analyzer. The flow through the remainder of the sample conditioning
system is regulated by a valve that controls the flow of sample gas with the aid of flow transmitter and
the PLC (control system).

The remaining gas sample travels through a Thermo Electric Cooler that reduces the temperature of
the sample. Any water vapour in the gas immediately condenses and drops by gravity flow to a
collection bowl below the cooler. The collection bowl is drained through a solenoid valve operated by
the PLC to open during the purging state (S2). If any water in the sample passes downstream of the
cooler, a water-slip detector will send an alarm to the PLC to force corrective actions to evacuate the
off-gas sample containing water.

The sample continues through a last filtration stage before reaching the Sample Analysis System. The
pressure of the sample is kept constant by a pressure regulator when entering into the sample
analysis system. Two rota-meters equipped with needle valves further divide the gas flow into a
sample to be measured stream and a by-pass stream. The measured stream passes through a liquid
block filter to remove any trace of water remaining in the sample before it enters the analyzing bench.
The analyzed stream and the by-pass stream once again join each other downstream of the analyzer
section and are vented outside of the analyzer.

Purging State (S2)


The purging state consists of three sub-states to differentiate between the probe purge, filter purge
with heated box filter purge and filter purge by-passing the heated box filter. These states are
indentified on the analyzer operation states diagram shown in Figure 4.1.

State S2a - Barrel Purge for probe


High pressure N2 (6-7.5 bar), is directed through the pneumatically operated valve V103 towards the
barrel of the probe. The valve is operated by the PLC through a pilot solenoid valve S103, see Figure
3.3 for reference.

State S2b - Filter Purge (without by-pass) for probe


High pressure N2 (6-7.5 bar), is directed through a pneumatically operated three-way valve V101
towards the probe through the heated sample line. While in this state, valve V102 is closed to allow
the purge gas to back-purge FILTER101. In this state, pressure losses through the filter minimize the
force of purge nitrogen through the probe. The main purpose of this state is to purge the heated filter
FILTER101.

State S2c - Filter Purge (with by-pass) for probe


High pressure N2 (6-7.5 bar), is directed through a pneumatically operated three-way valve V101
towards the probe through the heated line thus cleaning the probe filter. While in this state,
FILTER101 is by-passed by pneumatically operated valve V102. As the purge gas does not pass
through FILTER101, the purge gas is delivered full force to the probe filter.

During the transition between S1 and S2 a signal is sent from the PLC to purge the condensate
accumulated in the Thermo Electric Cooler and the water slip detector out of the system. When a
water slip alarm is triggered the analyzer automatically triggers the purging state. This is performed
for three consecutive water slip alarms within the span of one hour, after which the vacuum pump will
be shut off.

Calibration State (S3)


During Calibration State (S3), the purge triggers are disabled so that the high pressure nitrogen does
not enter the system and accidentally released inside the analyzer. Valve V109 closes to stop the
sample gas flow into the sample analysis system. A zero gas is passed through the analyzer
detectors to zero carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen gases and to set the span for oxygen,
this is referred to as calibration state S3a. This is then followed calibration state S3b, where the Span
gas calibrates the value for the remaining three gases and sets the zero value for the oxygen detector.

5. Analyzer Human Machine Interface (HMI)


This section describes the analyzer HMI screens and how to navigate through them.

Overview
The primary purpose of the HMI is to allow the operator to interact with the analyzer. The HMI
hardware platform is a touch-screen display. The HMI consists of 11 screens. The touch-screen
display communicates with the PLC and with the plant automation system via Ethernet connection.

User Accounts and Security


The security system built into the HMI allows for safe operation of the system with three levels of
access. Each level allows the logged user to perform pre-specified actions associated with level of
security indicated in Table 5.1 below. The system will revert to the lowest security level
(OPERATOR) if no actions have been performed for duration of 10min.

6. Analyzer Installation
This section of the manual reviews the requirements for installing the Tenova Goodfellow EFSOP®
Analyzer. Refer to Attachment 12 – “Other EFSOP® System Components” for installation
requirements of other EFSOP® System components.
Overview
Installation requirements for the Tenova Goodfellow EFSOP® Analyzer are grouped into the following
three categories.

1. Analyzer Environment and Operating Requirements


2. Mechanical Connections
3. Electrical and Instrumentation Connections

Analyzer Environment and Operating Requirements

8124 Single Stream EFSOP® System Manual – IVACO Page 38 of 67

The room is a controlled environment free of dust. Temperature should be maintained above 10ºC
(50 F) and below 30ºC (86 F), a room air conditioning and/or heating system may be required
depending on the location of the room.

The analyzer room is located such that the length of the sample line from the probe location is within
30 m or 100 ft in order to minimize sample response time. The analyzer room must be easily
accessible for maintenance purposes.

The EFSOP® Analyzer and related equipment needs to be safeguarded against EM disturbances and
mechanical vibrations.

All analyzer vents, drain and exhaust are to be routed outside of analyzer room to an approved
discharge location. Please see refer to Section 2 “Safety Information – Hazardous Gas Warning” of
this manual for more information.

It is highly recommended for the analyzer room to be equipped with an air quality monitoring station to
alarm for O2 depletion and presence of high CO. A room ventilation fan is recommended to be
operated by a switch located outside of the analyzer room or automated to start with the air quality
monitor alarm. Please consult local and regional health and safety laws and regulations.

Mechanical Connections
The EFSOP® Analyzer requires several external mechanical connections in order to be integrated
into the EFSOP® System. Table 6.1 lists the external connections and tube sizes for each connection
to the analyzer. Figure 6.2, indicates the approximate location of the external connections on the
analyzer.

Calibration Gas Connection


Calibration gases cylinders with dual stage pressure regulators are to be supplied and are not part of
the scope of supply from Tenova Goodfellow. Please refer to the “Tenova Goodfellow EFSOP®
Analyzer Data Sheet” for calibration gas specifications.

The calibration gases are connected to the respective ZERO and SPAN connection ports. Gas
pressures should be set to 2 to 5 psig depending on the distance between the source and the
analyzer connection ports. The main goal is to ensure a flow of approximately 4 LPM of gas is
achieved without opening the Sample and Bypass rotameter flow valves mounted on the front panel of
the analyzer.

Nitrogen Connection
Nitrogen or other plant available purge gas is supplied to the analyzer room. The nitrogen is used for
activating internal pneumatic valves of the analyzer and for purging of the EFSOP® probe, heated line
and heated box filter. A 40mm (1.5”) header with supply pressure of at least 7 barg (100 psig) is
required. Two lines are split from the header, each equipped with a shut off valve and pressure
regulator set to 7 – bar (100 psig) maximum. As a safety precaution it is recommended to install a
primary shut off valve and solenoid valve on the nitrogen supply to the analyzer room. The solenoid
valve is automated to close when the plant supplied low oxygen alarm is triggered in the analyzer
room.

A 12 mm (1/2”) line from the nitrogen header is connected to the N2-Supply port of the analyzer and is
used for the high volume purge. The second 6 mm (14”) nitrogen line is connected to the N2-ACTS
In port and is used to activate the pneumatic valves inside the analyzer.

Vents, Exhaust and Drain


There are five discharge ports on the analyzer cabinet that are routed to a safe location outside of the
analyzer room. There are two 10 mm (3/8”) tubing ports labelled Off-Gas Vent and Bench Vent, which
are used for venting the collected off-gas. A third 10 mm (3/8”) vent labelled N2 Acts Out is used to
discharge nitrogen used for pneumatic valve activation.

A fourth 10 mm (3/8”) tubing port labelled Drain is used for discharging the condensed water from the
Thermal Electric Cooler condensate bowl and Water Slip drain. The routing of the drain should be
sloped downwards to facilitate the flow of water out of the analyzer.

The last discharge port from the analyzer is the exhaust vent; typically locate near the top of the
analyzer cabinet. The exhaust facilitates the flow of air through the analyzer for cooling and for the
venting of internal leaks. Air is drawn into the analyzer through the cabinet fan and is exhausted
through exhaust port.

The vent, drain and exhaust pipes/tubing are not to be joined together to form a single vent, water
from the drain can be force up into the analyzer leading to potential damage. The tube/pipe sizes
CONFIDENTIAL - This document is the confidential property of Tenova Goodfellow Inc.

should not be reduced to a smaller size. All analyzer discharge ports contain harmful gases and are
to be routed outside of the analyzer room to a safe location, please refer to the “Safety Information –
Hazardous Gas Warning” in section 2 of this manual for more information.

Electrical and Instrumentation Connections

The EFSOP® Analyzer needs to be supplied with electrical power, please refer to Attachment 1 -
“8124 Single Stream EFSOP® Analyzer Data Sheet” for power supply details. The main power
supplied to analyzer and analyzer room are to be equipped with easily accessible circuit breakers
located outside the analyzer room location. The analyzer electrical supply, room air quality monitor,
air conditioning unit and other room accessories are to be on individual circuits.

The details for connecting the main power supply to the analyzer are provided in Attachment 5 - “8124
Single Stream EFSOP® Engineer Drawing Package”. During installation is it important to ensure the
grounding of the analyzer is completed. All internal components of the analyzer operate under DC
power.

PLC Connectivity
Main interface to plant automation network (PLC) can be done through either analog/digital signals via
terminal block wiring or through industrial ETHERNET connection.

Ethernet connectivity is the preferred method of communication to the plant automation system. The
plant PLC may require a specific communication driver to communicate with the analyzer PLC, please
refer to the “Tenova Goodfellow EFSOP® Analyzer Data Sheet” for specific Analyzer PLC model.
Three digital dry contact relays from the plant PLC are required for Purge Initiation, Analyzer General
Fault Alarm and Analyzer Pump Interlock. Refer to the attached “Engineering Drawing Package” for
the location of the digital contact and Ethernet connection.

For Ethernet connectivity three IP addresses are required for the EFSOP® Analyzer PLC, Analyzer
HMI and one for a field service PC.

The EFSOP® Analyzer has the ability to use analog hard wire connections for minimal data
requirements as an alternative to Ethernet. Attachment 5 - “8124 Single Stream EFSOP®
Engineering Drawing Package” provides the details for the hard wire terminal block configuration.

Table 6.2 provides the details for the required hard wire signals for the analyzer process control
variables. Note that it is the responsibility of the plant to provide the required PLC I/O for analyzer
data requirements.
