CORE:
Function of the whole fuel gas system is to serve gas for the GT at right pressure, right range of
pressure vacillation, right purity, and right flow rate.

Important Control Loops

Skid Name Loop Description

Automatic on/off valves are used to control level of

filters.
Filter level control
High switch triggered: valve open
Low switch triggered: valve close

208 ESD valve will close automatically in the scenario of:

(GPRMS)
1) Press button is pressed from local control room
ESD 2) DCS command the valve to close
3) Over pressure
4) Fire (Optional)
Pressure control (Self actuated) SSV+monitor+active

VI. Problem handling

Caution:
This Section only present possible problems from the perspective of
process system.

Each element in the system should have its own operation and maintenance
documents. For example, filters, flow meters, regulators, exchangers, boiler
room, ESD valves, compressor.

Safety introductions, maintenance instruction and fault handling

instructions provided by fuel gas system vendor( Isystems) and compressor
vendor (Atlas Copco) should be followed.
VI. Problem handling

3) Follow automatic drainage valve supplier’s instruction.
1) Check how many gas detectors are alarming, do not panic if only one of them are alarming, Waite and
see if the alarm can stop by itself.
2) If more than 1 detector is alarming or the detector won’t stop, check if there is any noise from vent stack
1) Gas leakage or safety valves. If the detector is triggered by venting, it may stop soon. How ever the resource of
2 Gas detector alarm
2) Detector malfunction overpressure should be targeted ASAP.
3) If no venting is detected, check pressure and flow rate parameters to see if they are indicating pipe
rupture. (dramatic pressure drop, great flow increase)
4) Stop and isolate the system and conduct a leakage survey if necessary.
1) Check pressure and temperature of the circulating water.

Note 1： It should be noted that though the compressor would sustain under very high temperature(170℃） 210 unit ‘s design temperature is only 90℃.
Excessive temperature is hazardous for Unit 210.

Note 2： Low temperature should influence GT performance, thus is an undesired situation.
