Regarding the low liquid level alarm caused by venting of the reactor liquid (process interlocks, alarm management)

2018-11-27View Original

Thread Content

For the level alarm settings in some reaction vessels, there are low-low, low, high, and high-high alarms; for example, the low-low level is set at L: 5mm; LL: 3mm ; H: 95mm ; HH: 98mm. When the reactor liquid is vented, an alarm is always triggered, yet it is always a low-low level alarm caused by the venting of the reactor liquid. How should such process alarms be managed? Urgent urgent urgent~~~~~

Based on your description, it should be an intermittent response; as long as the liquid level does not get too high, there is no need to set low-low or low liquid level alarms, so they can be removed.

That’s right; it’s for intermittent use. Keeping the low alarm and the very low alarm in place serves as a reminder function – for example, it can alert when there is a leak when the discharge valve isn’t opened. So those alarms are intended to be retained. However, if they are to be managed as part of the process alarms, frequent recording is required, which causes a lot of hassle. I’m not sure how such issues should be managed

It’s better to keep it; at least we’ll know the reason for the alarm. After all, with intermittent operation, such problems are hard to avoid. Otherwise, just cancel the existing alarm

Cancel the low-low and low liquid level alarms; supplementary measure: strengthen monitoring of gauges in the control room and on-site inspections

Is a low liquid level alarm useful during normal operation? If a low liquid level is acceptable during normal operation, then there is no need to install such an alarm or interlock

Since there are low and high alarms, should low-low, high-high also trigger alarms? Low, low, high, high – they should be interlocked; otherwise it makes no sense at all

Under normal circumstances, the HH/LL ALARM still makes sense; the adjustments made by the DCS may not be correct (especially regarding the built-in PID parameter settings), which can lead to more pronounced fluctuations in peak and trough values. Therefore, the HH/LL ALARM remains useful. If a shutdown mechanism is indeed needed, it is recommended to use a \"switch\" instead of an alarm, as that would be more ideal

Haha, I just want to ask one thing: why are there so many traditional characters?
