4. Compressors
Compressor: A mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.
Similar to a pump – Increases the pressure on a fluid and transport it through a pipe.
Types of compressor:
Positive Displacement
Dynamic
Screw Compressor
5. Screw Compressor
The rotary screw compressor consists of two intermeshing screws or rotors which trap gas
between the rotors and the compressor case. The motor drives the male rotor which in turn drives
the female rotor. Both rotors are encased in a housing provided with gas inlet and outlet ports.
Gas is drawn through the inlet port into the voids between the rotors. As the rotors move, the
volume of trapped gas is successively reduced and compressed by the rotors coming into mesh.
These compressors are available as dry or wet (oil-flooded) screw types. In the dry-screw type, the
rotors run inside of a stator without a lubricant (or coolant). The heat of compression is removed
outside of the compressor, limiting it to a single-stage operation. In the oil-flooded screw type
compressor, the lubricant is injected into the gas, which is trapped inside of the stator. In this
case, the lubricant is used for cooling, sealing and lubrication. The gas is removed from the
compressed gas-lubricant mixture in a separator. Rotary compressors, such as the screw
compressor, continuously recirculate (1 to 8 times per minute) the lubricant-gas mixture to
facilitate gas cooling and separation as opposed to reciprocating compressors, which are once-
through processes.
In a rotary screw compressor, the lubricant is injected into the compressor housing. The rotors are
exposed to a mixture of the gas and lubricant. In addition to providing a thin film on the rotors to
prevent metal-to-metal contact, the lubricant also provides a sealing function to prevent gas
recompression, which occurs when high-pressure, hot gas escapes across the seal between the
rotors or other meshing surfaces and is compressed again. Recompression causes gas discharge
temperatures to exceed the designed range for the unit. This often leads to loss of throughput and
poor reliability.
The lubricant also serves as a coolant by removing heat generated during gas compression. For
example, for rotary screw air compressors, the air discharge temperature may be 80 0C to 1100C
(1800F to 2300F), accelerating oxidation due to turbulent mixing of the hot air and lubricant.
In addition to these functions, the bearings at the inlet and outlet of the compressor must be
lubricated. With rotary screw compressors, the lubricant is in contact with the gas being
compressed at high temperatures and it experiences high shearing force between the
intermeshing rotors. These are demanding use-conditions for the lubricant.
A simplified diagram for lubricant flow in a typical rotary screw compressor is shown in Figure.

The lubricant and gas mixture from the compressor discharge line goes into a gas/lubricant
separator where the compressed gas is separated from the lubricant. After separation, the
lubricant is cooled and filtered, then pumped back into the compressor housing and bearings.

6. Air Dryers
A compressed air dryer is a device for removing water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air
dryers are commonly found in a wide range of industrial and commercial facilities. The process of
air compression concentrates atmospheric contaminants, including water vapor. This raises the
dew point of the compressed air relative to free atmospheric air and leads to condensation within
pipes as the compressed air cools downstream of the compressor.
Excessive water in compressed air, in either the liquid or vapor phase, can cause a variety of
operational problems for users of compressed air. These include freezing of outdoor air lines,
corrosion in piping and equipment, malfunctioning of pneumatic process control instruments,
fouling of processes and products, and more.
Types of dryers:
There are various types of compressed air dryers. Their performance characteristics are typically
defined by the dew point.
The term "desiccant dryer" refers to a broad class of dryers. Other terms commonly used are
regenerative dryer and twin tower dryer, and to a lesser extent adsorption dryer.The compressed
air is passed through a pressure vessel with two "towers" filled with a media such as activated
alumina, silica gel, molecular sieve or other desiccant material. This desiccant material attracts the
water from the compressed air via adsorption. As the water clings to the desiccant, the desiccant
"bed" becomes saturated. The dryer is timed to switch towers based on a standard NEMA cycle,
once this cycle completes some compressed air from the system is used to "purge" the saturated
desiccant bed by simply blowing the water that has adhered to the desiccant off.The duty of the
desiccant is to bring the pressure dew point of the compressed air to a level in Which the water
will no longer condense, or to remove as much water from the compressed air as Possible. A
standard dew point that is expected by a regenerative dryer is −400C (−400F), this

Means that when the air leaves the dryer there is as much water in the air as if the air had been
"Cooled" to −40 °C (−40 °F). Required dew point is dependent on application and −70 0C is required in
some applications. Many newer dryers come equipped with dew dependent
Switching (DDS) which allows for the dryer to detect dew point and shorten or lengthen the drying
cycle to fulfill the required dew point. Often times this will save significant amounts of energy which
is one of the largest factors when determining the proper compressed air system.
The regeneration of the desiccant vessel can be during three different methods:
Heatless "pressure-swing" drying, which uses part of the dry compressed air coming from the
other vessel to dry the desiccant in the vessel being regenerated at lower pressure. 17-20%
purge rate.
Heated dryer, which uses a hot air blower, so there is no loss of compressed air. >7% Purge
Rate.
Heat of compression, which can only be used with an oil free compressor.
Refrigeration dryers: Employ two heat exchangers, one for air-to-air and one for air-to-
refrigeration. However, there is also a single TRISAB heat exchanger that combines both functions.
The compressors used in this type of dryer are usually of the hermetic type and the most common
gas used is R-134a. The goal of having two heat exchangers is that the cold outgoing air cools
down the hot incoming air and reduces the size of compressor required. At the same time the
increase in the temperature of outgoing air prevents re-condensation.

Most manufacturers produce "cycling dryers". These store a cold mass that cools the air when the
compressor is OFF. When the refrigeration compressor runs, the large mass takes much longer to
cool, so the compressor runs longer, and stays OFF longer. These units operate at lower dew
points, typically in the 35–40 0F range. When selected with the optional "cold coalescing filter",
these units can deliver compressed air with lower dew points.
Some manufacturers are marketing compressors with built-in refrigeration dryers, but these have
had a mixed acceptance in the market.
Deliquescent Dryer: Typically consists of a pressure vessel filled with a hygroscopic media
that absorbs water vapor. The media gradually dissolves—or deliquesces—to form a solution at
the base of the pressure vessel. The liquid must be regularly drained from the vessel and new
media must be added. The media is usually in tablet or briquette form. Deliquescent dryers have
no moving parts and don't require electrical power for operation. Common applications therefore
often involve remote, hazardous, or mobile worksites. Deliquescent dryers are used for removing
water vapor from compressed air, natural gas, and waste gases such as landfill gas and digester
gas. The performance of a deliquescent dryer, as measured by outlet dew point, is highly
dependent on the temperature of the air or gas being processed, with cooler temperatures
resulting in better performance.

Membrane Dryer: Refers to a dehumidification membrane that removes water vapor from
compressed air. Typically, the compressed air is first filtered with a high-quality coalescing filter.
This filter removes liquid water, oil and particulate from the compressed air. The water vapor–
laden air then passes through the center bore of hollow fibers in the membrane bundle. At the
same time, a small portion of the dry air product is redirected along the outside surface of the
fibers to sweep out the water vapor which has permeated the membrane. The moisture-laden
sweep gas is then vented to the atmosphere, and clean, dry air is supplied to the application. The
membrane air dryers are designed to operate continuously, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Membrane air dryers are quiet, reliable and require no electricity to operate.

At EPCL plant there are various instruments, which used compressed air for theirs operation e.g.
controls valves etc. Moreover compressor air is also used for cleaning, purging, operating some
mechanical machine etc.
Compressed air system includes six air compressors C-4201 , C-4202A/B/C/D and C-4203 two air
moisture separator N-4201 A/B, two Pre-filter F-4201A/B, two sets of air dryer M-4201A/B, two
after filter F4203A/B, two IA receiving vessel V-4201A/B and one PA vessel V-4202.
There are three separate distribution network for instrument air, plant air and nitrogen
generation. Plant air is the containing moisture. It is used for mixing, blowing and other purposes.
The instruments being very sensitive and delicate have to be fed with quality air, which must be
free from moisture, oil particles or any other undesirable material. For this purpose, air after
compression has to be filtered and dried before being used as instrument air and nitrogen
generation.
The Nitrogen generator produces Nitrogen gas from atmospheric air using Molecular Sieves
Separation technique. It uses Carbon Molecular Sieves which has ability to preferentially remove
oxygen from air. Nitrogen generator consists of 2-Beds filled with Carbon Molecular Sieves. When
pressurized air is passed through these adsorbers Nitrogen comes out as product gas.

Plant Air:
Plant air contains moisture. It is used for mixing, blowing, cleaning and other purposes.
Instrument Air:
The instrument air should be dust-free, oil-free and dry. To prevent condensation in the supply
piping or in the instruments, the dew point of the air at operating pressure after drier should
always be at least 10°C lower than the lowest ambient temperature.
Air Quality:
The quality of the air is important to ensure that instrumentation will function properly and
reliably. The most important parameters in specifying air quality are:
Dew Point, Oil Content, Particulate matter & Temperature.

Moisture separator and drain trap
Air enters the compressor passing through the inlet air filter and inlet valve. Compression in the
screw-type air compressor is created by the meshing of two helical rotors (male and female) on
parallel shafts, enclosed in heavy duty cast iron housing.
The air-coolant mixture discharges from the compressor into the separation system. This system
Self-contained in the receiver tank, removes all but a few PPM of the coolant from the discharge
air. The coolant is returned to the system and the air passes to the after cooler. The after cooling
system consists of a heat exchanger, a condensate separator, and a drain trap. By cooling the
discharge air, much of the water vapor naturally contained in the air is condensed and eliminated
from the downstream plant-piping and equipment.
The compressor is design for high temperature and high relative humidity ambient. It can operate
at max. 460C ambient temperature.

ADSORPTION
Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a
surface. This process creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent. This process
differs from absorption, in which a fluid (the absorb ate) permeates or is dissolved by a liquid or
solid (the absorbent) Adsorption is a surface-based process while absorption involves the whole
volume of the material. The term sorption encompasses both processes, while desorption is the
reverse of it. Adsorption is a surface phenomenon.

Molecular Sieve
A molecular sieve is a material with very small holes of precise and uniform size. These holes are
small enough to block large molecules while allowing small molecules to pass. Many molecular
sieves are used as desiccants. Some examples include activated charcoal and silica gel.
The diameter of a molecular sieve is measured in Angstroms (Å) or nanometers (nm). The unit
conversion for 1 Å is 0.1 nm. According to IUPAC notation, micro porous materials have pore
diameters of less than 2 nm (20 Å) and macro porous materials have pore diameters of greater
than 50 nm (500 Å); the meso-porous category thus lies in the middle with pore diameters
between 2 and 50 nm (20-500 Å).

The term “activated carbon” defines a group of materials with highly developed internal surface
area and porosity and hence a large capacity for adsorbing chemicals from gases and liquids.
Activated carbons are extremely versatile adsorbents of major industrial significance and are used
in a wide range of applications concerned principally with the removal of species by adsorption
from the liquid or gas phase, in order to effect purification or the recovery of chemicals. They also
find use as catalysts or catalyst supports. The strong market position held by activated carbon
adsorbents relates to their unique properties and low cost compared with that of possible
competitive adsorbents.

Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) processes rely on the fact that under pressure gases tend to be
attracted to solid surfaces, or adsorbed. The higher the pressure, the more gas is adsorbed; when
the pressure is reduced, the gas is released, or desorbed. PSA processes can be used to separate
gases in a mixture because different gases tend to be attracted to different solid surfaces more or
less strongly.

compressed air first passes through a combination of filters to remove entrained oil and water.
The purified air is then directed to one of two adsorption vessels that are packed with (CMS)
Carbon molecular sieve. The remaining impurities such as carbon dioxide and residual moisture
are adsorbed by the CMS at the entrance of the adsorbent bed at high pressure the CMS
selectivity adsorbs oxygen allowing nitrogen to pass through at the desired purity level while one
vessel producing nitrogen the second vessel is depressurized to remove the adsorbed oxygen
which is the vented to the atmosphere the automatic cylinder adsorption and desorption between
the two beds enables the continues production of nitrogen. A large range of flow and purity
combinations can be adjusting the size of the air compressor and adsorption vessel containing the
CMS.PSAs can economically produce nitrogen gas at flow rates from less 5000 sch to greater than
60,000 scfh and at purities ranging from 95% to 99.9995%.

IA first passes through precision filter then enter activated carbon filter to remove odor.
After carbon filter air goes to air buffer tank followed by nitrogen generators. Nitrogen generator
is made up of two adsorption tanks which are filled by carbon molecular sieve, a set of valves and
a controller. Valves that are normally close are opened by electromagnetic valve which is
controlled by the controller.
When adsorption tank is working, air source enters from the open valve under the tank and flows
from the opened valve to the top of the tank. The wastage gas which is produced in regeneration
tower will flow out from the bottom of the tank. There are a set of valves in the middle of each
tank to balance pressure. Nitrogen flows from upside valve to nitrogen buffer tank via precision
filter and then to the nitrogen storage tank V- 4203.

blow off it, and can chose manual blowing off or auto blowing off.
If chose auto blowing off mode, switch on the blow off button on the control panel first to adjust
the nitrogen gas pressure with regulator 2 and close valve 1, with valve 2 open and solenoid valve
closed. There is a micro-content nitrogen analyzer in parallel connection with solenoid valve. In
case the nitrogen purity doesn’t reach the set value, this instrument will send signals to solenoid
valve to open it and blow off the gas.
If chose manual blowing off mode, switch the blow off switch button on the control panel first,
then adjust the nitrogen gas pressure with regulator, and open valve 1 close valve 2.

Introduction:
In fast track during PVC-II plant start up power is supplied by GTG at base plant & stand by DEG of
PVC-II. After the installation of power generation units the whole power is supplied by 02 GTs & 01
STG (Combine cycle Power Plant) and DEG acts as emergency stand by.
Diesel Engines:
The important areas for application of I.C engines are power generation. The devices or systems
used to produce a net power output are called engines, and the cycles they operate on, is called
power cycle. Engines where working fluid (fuel) is renewed at the end of each cycle is called open
cycle, as in automobile engines. The combustion gases are exhausted and replaced by fresh air
fuel mixture at the end of each cycle.
Engines are categorized as internal combustion or external combustion engines, depending on
how the heat is supplied to the working fluid. In external combustion engine (such as steam power
plants), energy is supplied to the working fluid from an external source such as furnace, nuclear
reaction etc. In internal combustion engines, this is done by burning the fuel within the engine
system.
is the powerhouse of the vast majority of automobiles, ships and electric power generators,
as well as many other devices.
Reciprocating engines are classified as spark-ignition (SI) engines or compression ignition (CI)
engine, depending on how the combustion process into the cylinder is initiated. In SI engines
the combustion of the air-fuel mixture is initiated by a spark plug. In CI engines, the air-fuel
mixture is self-ignited as a result of compressing the mixture above its self-ignition
temperature.
Induction Stroke
The induction stroke, during which only air is taken into the combustion chamber and cylinder, as a
result of the partial vacuum or depression created by piston downward movement.

Compression Stroke
The compression stroke, in which the advancing piston compresses the air into the very small volume
of the combustion chamber and raises its temperature high enough to ensure self-ignition of the fuel
charge. This demands compression to operate at much higher compression ratios, typically between
12 and 24.
Power Stroke
In power stroke, fuel charge is injected into the combustion chamber and mixes in the very hot air,
and during which the gases of combustion expand and perform useful work on the retreating piston.

combustion chamber by advancing piston and discharged into the exhaust system.
The development of electrical technology on a commercial scale began when it was freed from its
former dependence on cells and batteries.
Michael faraday carried out a series of experiments, which after years of painstaking work, ended in
the discovery of electromagnetic induction. One of faraday’s basic experiments is very simple and
well worth repeating. A coil of wire is wound on an empty cardboard tube, and the ends of the wire
are connected to a galvanometer. As the permanent magnet is plunged into the coil the meter
registers a momentary current. When the magnet is pulled out of the coil the meter registers a
momentary current in the opposite direction. No current is registered while the magnet is at rest,
either in the coil or outside.
We might tempt to conclude that motion is an essential component of this experiment. As the
permanent magnet replaced by an electromagnet and placed inside the fixed coil. If the
electromagnet current is increased quickly, the meter again registers a momentary current. No
current is registered by the meter when the electromagnet current is steady. Once again the size of
current depends on the speed with which the electromagnet current is varied.
From these simple experiments it should be clear that the size of the current produced (induced) in
the coil depends on the strength of the magnetic field involved and on the speed with which the
magnetic field is changed and it cut the lines of magnetic field.
Alternator Description
General
The alternator fitted on the generating set is of the brushless self-excitation type which eliminates
the maintenance associated with slip rings and brushes. The control system consists of an automatic
voltage regulator, protective circuits and the necessary instruments to allow monitoring of the
output of the generating set.
Major Components
The alternator unit is completely self-contained and is designed and constructed to provide trouble
free operation, ease of maintenance and long service life.
The Stator core is produced from insulated low loss electrical grade sheet steel laminations. These
are built and welded under a fixed pressure to give an extremely rigid core to withstand vibrations
and load impulses. The complete wound stator is, after impregnation, pressed into the frame and
pinned into position.
A high grade precision machined shaft carries the rotor assembly which comprises the alternator
rotating field systems, the exciter rotator/rotating diode system and the cooling fan. The rotor is
mechanically wedged and supported on the winding end to allow an over speed of up to 2250 RPM.
The complete rotor assembly is dynamically balanced to ensure vibration-free running.
At the drive end of the rotor assembly a cast-aluminum centrifugal fan draws cooling air through
screened/louvered covers at the non-drive end and discharges it through similar side mounted
covers at the drive end.
Method of Operation
The electrical power produced by the generating set is derived from a closed loop system consisting
principally of the exciter rotor, the main revolving field and the automatic voltage regulator.
The process begins when the engine starts to rotate the internal components of the alternator. The
residual magnetism in the main rotor produces a small alternating voltage (AC) in the main stator.
The automatic voltage regulator rectifies this voltage (converts it to DC) and applies it to the exciter
stator.
This DC current to the exciter stator creates a magnetic field which, in turn, induces an AC voltage in
the exciter rotor. This AC voltage is converted back to DC by the rotating diodes.
When this DC voltage appears at the main rotor, a stronger magnetic field than the original residual
field is
Created which induces a higher voltage in the main stator.

This higher voltage circulates through the system inducing an even higher DC voltage back at the
main rotor. This cycle continues to build up the voltage until it approaches the proper output level of
the generating set. At this point the automatic voltage regulator begins to limit the voltage being
passed to the exciter stator which, in turn, limits the overall power output of the alternator.
This buildup process takes place in less than one second.
Synchronous AC generators
In AC generator development, high voltage at its terminals created the problems of insulation and
mechanical construction associated with rotating slip rings and stationary brushes and it is surprising
that the design of synchronous (practical) AC generator eliminates the need for the slip rings. This
was achieved by keeping the coil stationary and rotating the magnetic field. The figure shows a
magnet rotating between a pair of fixed coils and the magnetic field cutting each coil rises and falls as
the poles move past it and an alternating e.m.f. is induced.
In practice, the rotating permanent magnet is replaced by an electromagnet. Since there are two sets
of winding (one for electromagnet and other for stationary coil), we have to distinguish between
them by calling the rotating electromagnet the “rotor” and calling the stationary armature coil the
“stator”. The winding of the rotor, which provide the magnetic field, are supplied with direct current
called excitation. Stator slots are cut to carry copper windings. Heat is removed by air or water
circulating in tubes.
In actual practice power is generated commercially in the form of a 3-phase current rather them the
single-phase current of the domestic supply. The simple single-phase AC generator is modified to
produce 3-phase output by giving it three separate sets of stator windings. The three phase induced
e.m.f. are shown in figure and they are out of phase with one another by 120°. The rotor of 3-phase
generator has several pair of poles arranged symmetrically around its circumference, while the stator
has three times as many pairs of windings.
A thermostat valve.
The alternator has its own internal fan to cool the alternator components.
The air is pushed through the radiator so that the air is drawn past the alternator, then past the
engine and finally through the radiator.
For heating purpose two block electric heaters are provided to maintain the water temperature.
The cooling water is primarily used in lube oil coolers, then used in engine jackets cooling and finally
in after coolers to cool the combustion air. Return cooling water line has control panel temperature
indicator and high temperature switch. A thermostatic valve is installed on return line to direct return
cooling water either to the suction of cooling water pump or toward cooling water skid (radiator fan),
depending on temperature of cooling water.

In LV room 415V power from transformers is then go through two breakers named “QF1 and QF2”
and a tie breaker between them named QF3. An automatic transfer switch (ATS) interlock is also
there for mitigation of QF1 or QF2 breakers tripping, ATS will close the tie breaker QF3 and power
will supply via remaining breakers. From the startup of PVC-II, ATS interlock is not in service. QF1 is
for power up Bus-I and Qf2 is for power up Bus-II.
We also have extension of both buses. Bus-I extended via a local breaker for further powering up the
breakers of plant equipments and Bus-II extended via a breaker named QF4 for powering up
Emergency Bus.
Power from DEG 415V connected or isolated to Emergency Bus via a breaker QF5 which is also
named as circuit breaker (CB) in DEG generator control panel (GCP).

We have an interlock between QF4 and QF5, as per this interlock one breaker will remain in opposite
condition as the other, for example if power failure occurred and DEG starts on auto mode and QF5
closes then QF4 will open automatically.
This interlock between Qf4 and QF5 can be bypass through selector switches on breakers in LV room.
There are two positions on selector switches LOCAL & GCP, both selector switches on LOCAL
indicates the interlock is bypass and both selector switches on GCP indicates interlock is in service
and operation of breaker will be performed via DEG GCP.
See the power line diagram below.
