1.0 SCOPE
This standard shall be applied by the contractor when developing the engineering data sheets for
the design of analyzing system.
Deviations must be specified in writing by the contractor as a supplement and shall be approved by
OWNER.
In case of any conflict between the Owners approved supplements and this standard, the
supplements shall take priority.

2.0 GENERAL
All on-line analyzers shall be designed with the state of the art technology and shall have its own
processor, sampling point, sample conditioning and utilities supply system. All sections shall be
designed by the manufacturer and integrated to form a complete, self contained unit.

Each on - line analyzer shall be capable of “stand – alone” operation.

All on - line analyzer shall be interfaced to a “user friendly” analyzer management and data
acquisition system that is capable of monitoring and retrieving analyzer performance and
maintenance data.

In general all on - line analyzer electrical enclosures shall be designed to meet the area
classification in which it is installed. Even if the Analyzers are installed inside the Analyzer house
the contractor shall design the enclosure of the analyzers to meet the area classification outside
the house so that they can operate without the house ventilation system.

3.0 SAMPLING SYSTEMS


3.1 Introduction
Where an analyzer is not installed with its sensing element directly in line it requires a
sampling system.

The purpose of the sampling system is to ensure that the analyzer receives a sample
representative of the process stream with the minimum of delay, in a state (temperature,
pressure, cleanliness, flow- rate) such that the analyzer may satisfactorily operate. The
sampling system shall include all components necessary for proper and safe operation.
Probes, valves, filters, coolers, pressure regulators, pressure relief valves, piping, pumps,
and all other necessary equipment should be included as required.

Sampling systems should be designed to minimize product /material waste through the use of
fast circulating systems and sample recovery techniques.

3.2 General Requirements


The overall time lag of the analyzer system, which includes process lag, sampling system lag
and analyzer response time, should be consistent with the measurement and control
requirements of the particular process.

Sampling system lags may be kept to acceptable limits by locating the analyzer close to the
sample take- off point, or by increasing the velocity of the sample (e.g. fast circulation loop or
by -pass to vent, drain or alternative disposal point).

Sampling systems and their components shall be installed in such a manner that they can be
readily maintained and shall be installed inside stainless steel boxes with glass window.

Sampling systems selected by contractor shall be proven in similar applications under similar
installation conditions.

Sampling systems shall be designed so that possible contamination of or damage to the


analyzer is prevented under plant upset conditions.

The physical or chemical properties which are to be measured shall not be changed in the
sampling system unless specifically required for the analysis.

Sampling systems shall be designed so that possible contamination of or damage to the


analyzer is prevented under plant upset conditions. Where, however, this is not possible,
protective alarm and shutdown facilities should be provided. Contractor shall specify the
extreme operating conditions which may occur during a upset condition or plant start up case
in the Analyzer data sheet for the design of the sampling system.

Facilities for calibration and / or laboratory check sampling shall be provided.

API RP 550 part 2, EEUMA 138 shall be followed for design of analyzer systems.

3.3 Sample Point Location


The following shall be observed in the selection of the correct location of a sample point on the
main process line for the analyzer. The optimum position may involve a compromise between
several of the points below:
a) The sample point shall be located at a point in the process where the sample is expected to
give the most accurate information on the properties or composition of the process stream.

b) The sample point shall be located at a point in the process where it is most appropriate for
process control avoiding unnecessary time lags.

c) The sample point shall be located in a position to utilize process differential pressures for
any fast circulating loops.

d) The sample take off points shall be readily accessible from grade or permanent platforms.

e) Separate sampling points shall be provided for Online Analyzer and laboratory process
sample.

f) Particular care shall be taken to avoid sampling where there is a possibility of


contamination, or where pockets of gas / vapor / liquid hydrocarbon / water / dirt may
accumulate in the plant stream.

g) Where samples are taken from horizontal lines gas samples shall be taken from the top
and liquid samples from the side. Where samples are taken from vertical lines liquid
samples shall only be taken when the flow is upwards.

3.4 Fast Circulating Systems


Fast circulating loops shall be used to reduce sampling system time lags with the minimum of
product waste.

Where possible, fast circulating loops shall take advantage of pressure differentials across the
process.
No.

Date
18 JAN 2013 6 3

Fast circulating loops across the following sources of differential pressure shall be avoided:
Fast loops shall not be installed across orifice plates used for flow measurements, as it will
affect the accuracy of measurement.

When take off and return points are widely separated particular care shall be taken to ensure
no flow measurements or emergency isolation valves are by - passed.

The sample stream from the fast loop fed to the analyzer shall normally be filtered through a
self cleaning by - pass filter.

Specially installed pumps in fast loops shall be avoided because of their extra maintenance
requirements. It shall be ensured that the pump and its associated filter shall not degrade the
sample.

Facilities should be provided to indicate and regulate adequate flow in the loop.

3.5 BY- PASS Systems


By - pass systems shall be used to reduce sampling system lag e.g. when vaporizing liquid
samples.
By - pass systems shall be used where they do not create environmental hazards and:
a) It is not practicable to return product to process e.g. vapor and / or gas at low pressure.
b) It is not economic to return product to process because cost of recovery would
exceed that of the product value.
c) Return of the product to the process would cause contamination or degradation.
Particular attention shall be paid to the location of vent or drain when handling toxic and
flammable substances. Flows must be as low as possible to minimize risk.

3.6 Sample Recovery Systems


Sample recovery systems shall be used to return low pressure product by mechanical means
back to the process wherever practical. The low pressure product may be derived from the by
- pass flow and/or the analyzer discharge.
Sample recovery systems are typically a collection vessel with a pump controlled from level
switches within the collecting vessel.

3.7 Special Considerations


Where necessary vapor phase samples shall be heat traced and lagged to keep the sample at
a temperature which will avoid condensation at any point within the sampling system and
analyzer. Where the sample is heat traced it shall be designed to maintain the temperature of
the sample at approximately 15 deg C above the boiling point of the component which has the
highest boiling point.
a) Transported through a fast circulating loop and vaporized near the analyzer.

b) The volume of liquid between the take - off point of the fast loop and the vaporizer shall be
minimized.

c) Heat tracing and lagging shall be provided as necessary, particularly to reduce heat
absorbed at the vaporizer.

d) Where there is a possibility for a liquid sample to vaporize from atmospheric heat, adequate
cold insulation shall be provided to maintain the temperature inside the sample transfer line
at the same temperature as the process operating temperature up to the vaporizer.

The Pressure of gas samples shall be reduced as close as possible to the sampling point or
the fast loop to reduce time lags. Heat tracing and lagging may be necessary at the pressure
reducer to replace heat lost effect. Where necessary sample lines shall be lagged and heat -
traced to avoid condensation.

Sample from lines containing two - phase mixtures or mixtures of immiscible fluids require
special consideration. Where analysis of the mixture is required the sample shall be
taken from a section of the line where the flow is turbulent.

3.8 Multi - Stream Systems


Single stream analyzers are preferred and are usually essential for automatic control.

A multi - stream switching system may be used with some types of analyzer. The cost
of a number of single - stream analyzers versus one multi - stream service shall be assessed
against the greater overall reliability of single - stream systems.
Use of multi-stream switching analyzer system shall be approved by Owner.
