2300.601.2 Process Description 2300.601.2.1 Introduction

The Scrubber Sump System collects, stores, and transports waste water recovered from various areas throughout the FGD. The system consists primarily of four sumps, which are the Limestone Area Sump, the FGD Area Sump, the Dewatering Area Sump, and the Ash Pond Transfer Sump. The Limestone Area Sump, FGD Area Sump, and Dewatering Sump have the ability to either discharge their waste water contents back into the FGD process or to discharge their waste water contents into the Ash Pond Transfer Sump which, from there, the waste water will be discharged to the Ash Pond. Each sump contains two pumps for discharge of waste water and a mixer to prevent sedimentation of solids within the sump.

Limestone Area Sump

The limestone area sump receives a water or slurry stream collected by area trenches as result of flushing and draining of slurry pipelines, area cleaning, and spills. The sump is installed below grade and equipped with 2 pumps, one mixer and level indication instrumentation. The sump contents are either pumped to the limestone slurry transfer tank for recovery or to ash pond transfer sump if disposal is required.

Because the sump handles water that can include an appreciable amount of solids (>10%), the pipelines are equipped for automatic flushing. This installed automatic flushing dilutes the sump contents prior to pump start. This results in the pump casing and discharge piping being flushed. The sump pump discharge piping is equipped with a control valve from the make-up water system for this purpose.

The sump pumps are designed for corrosive duty with all wetted parts below the floor plate being rubber covered and/or lined. These are double suction pumps with semi-open impellers capable of being run dry. The flow rate is cut by about 60% once the sump level drops below the impeller.

The limestone area sump is controlled based on the sump’s liquid level. The sump is equipped with a continuous level measuring instrument providing local and remote indication. The figure below illustrates the level alarms and interlocks. The destination of the slurry discharged by the sump pumps is determined by the operator manipulating the manual valves in the pipeline.

2300.601.2.1 Introduction

The sump mixers operate continuously regardless of sump level. Their operation is started and stopped by operator action via the DCS.

When in auto mode the DCS stops and starts sump pumps automatically without operator initiation. Starts are alternated between the two pumps in order to equalize run time. When one pump stops, a toggle switches to start the other pump next time. The operator also has the ability to toggle the pump selected for the next start.

When pump operation is stopped, the pump discharge valve is closed, the backflush valve remains open filling the sump and diluting the contents, performing a post flush.

2300.601.2.1 Introduction

FGD Area Sump

The FGD area sumps receive a water or slurry stream collected by area trenches as a result of flushing and draining of slurry pipelines, area cleaning, and spills. They also receive the drains from the JBR outlet ducts and chimney flues. The FGD area sumps can be used to transfer gypsum slurry from one JBR to another for gypsum seeding. The sumps are installed below grade and equipped with 2 pumps, one mixer and level indication instrumentation. The sump contents are pumped to the respective ash pond transfer sump for disposal or to one of the JBRs, if recovery is desired. Units 1&2 are equipped with two of these sumps and Units 3&4 are provided with one.

Because the sump handles water that can include an appreciable amount of solids (>10%), the pipelines are equipped for automatic flushing. This installed automatic flushing dilutes the sump contents prior to pump start. This results in the pump casing and discharge piping being flushed. The sump pump discharge piping is equipped with a control valve from the make-up water system for this purpose.

The sump pumps are designed for corrosive duty with all wetted parts below the floor plate being rubber covered and/or lined. These are double suction pumps with semi-open impellers capable of being run dry. The flow rate is cut by about 60% once the sump level drops below the impeller.

The FGD area sumps are controlled based on the respective sump’s liquid level. Each sump is equipped with a continuous level measuring instrument providing local and remote indication. Two sump pumps are provided for each sump. One is operating and one is stand-by. The selected sump pump starts upon a sump high level and stops upon a sump level of 1.5’. The stand-by pump starts automatically on the trip of the primary pump.

The operator is given a high-high level alarm. The figure below illustrates these alarms and interlocks. The sump pump discharge destination is determined by manual valves installed in the pipeline.

When in auto mode the DCS stops and starts sump pumps automatically without operator initiation Starts are alternated between the two pumps in order to equalize run time. When one pump stops, a toggle switches to start the other pump next time. The operator also has the ability to toggle the pump selected for the next start.

2300.601.2.1 Introduction

Dewatering Area Sump The dewatering area sump receives the hydrocyclone overflow stream as well as streams collected by area trenches as result of flushing and draining of slurry pipelines, area cleaning, and spills. The sump size is identical to the ash pump transfer sump. The sump meets the minimum size requirements of HEI standards. The sump is installed below grade and equipped with 2 pumps, one mixer and level indication instrumentation. The sump contents are either pumped to the ash pond transfer sump for disposal or to one of the return water tanks if recovery is desired. These pumps are sized to serve all four units.

Because the sump handles water that can include an appreciable amount of solids (>10%), the pipelines are equipped for automatic flushing. This installed automatic flushing dilutes the sump contents prior to pump start. This results in the pump casing and discharge piping being flushed. The sump pump discharge piping is equipped with a control valve from the make-up water system for this purpose.

The sump pumps are designed for corrosive duty with all wetted parts below the floor plate being rubber covered and/or lined. These are double suction pumps with semi-open impellers capable of being run dry. The flow rate is cut by about 60% once the sump level drops below the impeller.

2300.601.2.1 Introduction

Ash Pond Transfer Sump

The Ash Pond Transfer (APT) Sumps receive FGD associated streams for disposal to the ash pond. The Units 3&4 APT Sump receives a stream from the gypsum dewatering hydrocyclone overflow collected by the dewatering area sump. The APT Sumps are designed to collect the gypsum draw-off stream from two JBRs when a gypsum transfer tank is not available. Direct drains, hard-piped from the JBRs to the APT Sump can be utilized for expedient draining of JBRs to the ash pond. The basis for the sump size is a maximum of four pump starts in one hour based on the maximum flow from the dewatering area sump plus approximately 1000 gpm per JBR when draining. The sump is installed below grade and equipped with 2 pumps, one mixer, and level indication instrumentation. Units 1&2 are equipped with one of these sumps as are Units 3&4.

Because the sump handles water that can include an appreciable amount of solids (>10%), the pipelines are equipped for automatic flushing. This installed automatic flushing dilutes the sump contents prior to pump start. This results in the pump casing and discharge piping being flushed. The sump pump discharge piping is equipped with a control valve from the make-up water system for this purpose. Additionally, The Unit 3/4 Ash Pond Transfer Sump discharge piping is equipped with a manually operated valve off of the make-up water system for the purpose of flushing the discharge piping.

The sump pumps are designed for corrosive duty with all wetted parts below the floor plate being rubber covered and/or lined. These are double suction pumps with semi-open impellers capable of being run dry. The flow rate is cut by about 60% once the sump level drops below the impeller. The ash pond transfer (APT) sumps are controlled based on the respective sump’s liquid level. Each sump is equipped with a continuous level measuring instrument providing local and remote indication. Two sump pumps are provided for each sump. One is operating and one is stand-by. The selected sump pump starts upon a sump high level and stops upon a sump level of 1.5’. The stand-by pump starts automatically on the trip of the primary pump. The operator is given a high-high level alarm. The figure below illustrates these alarms and interlocks.

The Sump System Mixers (WW-MX-5480, WW-MX-5495, WW-MX-5380, and WW-MX-5390) serve to prevent solids suspended in solution from settling into the bottom of the sumps, thereby maintaining a homogenous mixture from which the Sump Pumps for each respective system can draw a suction. Des c ription

Mixer The Sump System Mixers are Model Number 73Q5 manufactured by Lightnin Mixers and Aerators. The Sump System Mixers are identical in design for each sump with the exception of Mixer shaft length since each sump is of varying size. The mechanical components of the mixer consist of a fluid coupling Model Number HF10/20 manufactured by Faulk Industries, a double reduction gear Model Number 73 manufactured by Lightnin Mixers and Aerators, and a mixer shaft and impeller manufactured by Lightnin Mixers and Aerators. The mixer shaft and impeller are coated with a 3/16” layer of natural rubber to minimize corrosion and wear. Additionally, the leading edge of the impeller is coated with an additional 3/16” of natural rubber for added protection.

The Ash Pond Transfer (APT) Sumps receive FGD associated streams for disposal to the station’s ash pond. The Units 3&4 APT Sump receives a stream from the gypsum dewatering hydrocyclone overflow collected by the dewatering area sump. The APT Sumps are designed to collect the gypsum draw-off stream from two JBRs when a gypsum transfer tank is not available. Direct drains, hard-piped from the JBRs to the APT Sump can be utilized for expedient draining of JBRs to the ash pond.

Description Pump The Ash Pond Transfer Sump Pump is manufactured by by Weir and is Model Number 12SRA-5100 x 84. Design flow for the pumps is 3500 gpm at an operating head of 92 ft. with impeller speed at 648 rpm. These design parameters result in a 50.8% efficiency when an input of 214.8 hp is applied.

The sump pumps are designed for corrosive duty with all wetted parts below the floor plate being rubber covered and/or lined. These are single suction pumps with semi-open impellers are capable of being run dry. The flow rate is cut by about 60% once the sump level drops below the impeller.

The Ash Pond Transfer Sump Pumps 16" Discharge Control Valves serve to isolate the discharge side of the Ash Pond Transfer Sump Pumps when required.

Description The Ash Pond Transfer Sump discharge valves are 16” Knife Gate Valves manufactured by Clarkson, model KGA16. The body of the valve a cast ductile iron with a SAF 2507 stainless steel knife gate with fully lined gum rubber sleeves. The valves have an oversized air cylinder actuator which is double acting and fails in the last position. The actuator is controlled by ASCO 4-way dual solenoid valve which requires air to open and air to close with manual override.

The KGA is a packing less knife gate valve. All the sealing is accomplished by the elastomeric sleeves in the valve housing. The sleeves also form the wear section for the valve. Actuation of the valve slides a stainless steel gate between the sleeves to shut off the flow. Some seepage may occur during opening and closing cycles. The gate is removable for inspection or replacement while the valve is in service.

It is normal for the KGA valves to discharge media during opening and closing cycles. This purges solids from between the sleeves that would prevent a tight seal when the valve is fully open or closed. With the optional splashguard mounted on, the valve, the valve’s internal chamber is more than adequate to receive the discharge which can then be drained or, flushed into a sump or launder through an attached pipe or hose.

KGA valve maintenance may require occasional gate lubrication depending on the application. A silicone-based lubricant is recommended. Lubrication fittings are located on the square center flange of the valve housing. The gate may also be lubricated by spraying directly with a silicone lubricant to prevent scale build-up. Sleeve wear can be minimized if the valve gate is scraped or wiped clean occasionally.

2300.601.2.2.3 Ash Pond Transfer Sump Discharge Valves (WW-XV-5481A & B)

The application of lubricant should include liberally coating the entire seal end of the sleeve. A thin film should also be applied to the outer diameter of the sleeve. Apply a thin film of lubricant to both faces of the knife gate from the knife edge upward to the center of the gate. Periodic re-lubrication using the fittings on the housing should minimize any operational problems in normal use.

As a minimum, the Clarkson KGA valves should be lubricated every 100 strokes for 3”-10” sizes and every 50 strokes for 12”-54”sizes. An individual application may require more or less frequent lubrication depending on the process and chemistry. If a valve cycles very infrequently, less than once per month, lubrication prior to each stroke is recommended.

For dry material handling service, liquid or grease type lubricants should not be used. A ‘dry film spray” lubricant may be used. Examples are: graphite, Teflon or silicone sprays.

The Ash Pond Transfer Sump Pumps 4" Backflush Control Valves serve to control the flow of backflush water from the Make-Up Water System to the discharge piping of the respective Ash Pond Transfer Sump Pump.

Description The Ash Pond Transfer Sump Backflush Control valves are 4” Knife Gate Valves manufactured by Fabri-Valve, model XS150. The body of the valve carbon steel with a SAF 2507 stainless steel knife gate with fully lined red urethane sleeves. The valves have an air cylinder actuator to open and a spring close and fails in the closed position. The actuator is controlled by ASCO EFHT8316G64MO solenoid valve which requires air to open.

The Fabri-Valve utilizes a seal that wraps around the entire gate eliminating leakage paths. The chest seal completely encloses gate with a injectable packing; therefore, contamination of the process fluid from “loose” packing is eliminated. The body protects the perimeter seal from the rigors of the direct process flow.

A reliable body joint eliminates the possibility of body joint leakage caused by pipe stresses. The design of the gate guides guarantee that the gate is properly positioned and supported during operation. The gate guides do not reduce the flow area. Dual scraper blades clean gate during operation and protect the seals from abrasives. A taper to the body’s internal diameter is to eliminate the possibility of material collecting at the bottom of the port and preventing proper closure. This taper ensures automatic “clean-out” and “flushing”. Minimized chest area and close tolerances prevents minimizes packing.

The Dewatering Sump Pumps 16" Discharge Control Valves serve to isolate the discharge side of the Dewatering Sump Pumps when required.

Description

The Dewatering Sump discharge valves are 16” Knife Gate valves manufactured by Clarkson, model KGA16. The body of the valve a cast ductile iron with a SAF 2507 stainless steel knife gate with fully lined gum rubber sleeves. The valves have an oversized air cylinder actuator which is double acting and fails in the last position. The actuator is controlled by ASCO 4-way dual solenoid valve which requires air to open and air to close with manual override. Below is an illustrative example of the Clarkson Knife Valve.

The KGA is a packing less knife gate valve. All the sealing is accomplished by the elastomeric sleeves in the valve housing. The sleeves also form the wear section for the valve. Actuation of the valve slides a stainless steel gate between the sleeves to shut off the flow. Some seepage may occur during opening and closing cycles. The gate is removable for inspection or replacement while the valve is in service.

It is normal for the KGA valves to discharge media during opening and closing cycles. This purges solids from between the sleeves that would prevent a tight seal when the valve is fully open or closed. With the optional splashguard mounted on, the valve, the valve’s internal chamber is more than adequate to receive the discharge which can then be drained or, flushed into a sump or launder through an attached pipe or hose.

KGA valve maintenance may require occasional gate lubrication depending on the application. A silicone-based lubricant is recommended. Lubrication fittings are located on the square center flange of the valve housing. The gate may also be lubricated by spraying directly with a silicone lubricant to prevent scale build-up. Sleeve wear can be minimized if the valve gate is scraped or wiped clean occasionally.

2300.601.2.2.12 Dewatering Sump Discharge Valves (WW-XV-5391A & B)

The application of lubricant should include liberally coating the entire seal end of the sleeve. A thin film should also be applied to the outer diameter of the sleeve. Apply a thin film of lubricant to both faces of the knife gate from the knife edge upward to the center of the gate. Periodic re-lubrication using the fittings on the housing should minimize any operational problems in normal use.

As a minimum, the Clarkson KGA valves should be lubricated every 100 strokes for 3”-10” sizes and every 50 strokes for 12”-54”sizes. An individual application may require more or less frequent lubrication depending on the process and chemistry. If a valve cycles very infrequently, less than once per month, lubrication prior to each stroke is recommended.

For dry material handling service, liquid or grease type lubricants should not be used. A ‘dry film spray” lubricant may be used. Examples are: graphite, Teflon or silicone sprays.

The Gypsum Dewatering Area Sump Pumps 4" Backflush Control Valves serve to control the flow of backflush water from the Make-Up Water System to the discharge piping of the respective Ash Pond Transfer Sump Pump.

Description The Gypsum Dewatering Area Sump Backflush Control valves are 4” Knife Gate Valves manufactured by Fabri-Valve, model XS150. The body of the valve carbon steel with a SAF 2507 stainless steel knife gate with fully lined red urethane sleeves. The valves have an air cylinder actuator to open and a spring close and fails in the closed position. The actuator is controlled by ASCO EFHT8316G64MO solenoid valve which requires air to open.

The Fabri-Valve utilizes a seal that wraps around the entire gate eliminating leakage paths. The chest seal completely encloses gate with a injectable packing; therefore, contamination of the process fluid from “loose” packing is eliminated. The body protects the perimeter seal from the rigors of the direct process flow.

A reliable body joint eliminates the possibility of body joint leakage caused by pipe stresses. The design of the gate guides guarantee that the gate is properly positioned and supported during operation. The gate guides do not reduce the flow area. Dual scraper blades clean gate during operation and protect the seals from abrasives. A taper to the body’s internal diameter is to eliminate the possibility of material collecting at the bottom of the port and preventing proper closure. This taper ensures automatic “clean-out” and “flushing”. Minimized chest area and close tolerances prevents minimizes packing.

2300.601.2.3 SUMMARIZED CONTROLS DESCRIPTION

Limestone Area Sump

The Limestone Area Sump consists of a sump mixer, two sump pumps with associated discharge control valves and two level transmitters.

Alarms generated by the DCS are High Sump Level at >11’, Sump Pump A/B Discharge Control valve fail to open/fail to close/wrong position, sump level transmitter deviation, sump mixer motor current abnormal, sump mixer motor tripped, and start sump mixer.

A minimum level of 5.2’ is required to automatically start the sump mixer.

One of the two sump pumps can be placed in lead and that sump pump will run whenever the sump level is >10’.

Each Limestone Area Sump Pump is equipped with an automatic pump back flush valve. If Limestone Area Sump Level is above 10 feet, or neither Limestone Area Sump Pump A or B is running for >60 seconds, an OPEN command will be issued to open the Back Flush Valve. If Limestone Area Sump Level is < 10 feet for >60 seconds, or either Limestone Area Sump Pump A or B is running for >60 seconds, the OPEN command will be reset closing the Back Flush Valve.

Each sump pump’s discharge control valve will open whenever that pump is running and will not close if that pump is running. Once the pump is deenergized, the valve will close.

The limestone area sump is controlled based on the sump’s liquid level. The sump is equipped with a continuous level measuring instrument providing local and remote indication. The destination of the slurry discharged by the sump pumps is determined by the operator from the settings of manual valves in the pipeline.

When in auto mode the DCS stops and starts sump pumps automatically without operator initiation. Sump mixer operation is continuous regardless of level. Starts are alternated between the two pumps in order to equalize run time. When one pump stops, a toggle switches to start the other pump next time. The operator also has the ability to toggle the pump selected for the next start.

When pump operation is stopped the pump discharge valve is closed and the pipeline is left filled.

Limestone Area Sump

The Limestone Area Sump consists of a sump mixer, two sump pumps with associated discharge control valves, and two level transmitters. The level transmitters are used to generate an average sump level which is used for controlling mixer and pump operation as well as to generate a sump level high alarm. The minimum sump level required to operate the mixer in automatic mode is > 5.2’ and a pump will start at a level of 10’. The high level alarm is generated at >11’. Each level transmitter is ranged from 0’ to 12’. Should one of the transmitters indicate bad quality (bad signal), that transmitter is not used to calculate sump level and the remaining transmitter will be the only source for sump level. Additionally, the operator can select a transmitter to bypass if necessary. The operator has the ability to START, STOP, and LOCKOUT the mixer from the DCS. When placed in LOCKOUT, the mixer will not operate. When the operator places the mixer in STOP, a momentary signal of two seconds is generated from within the logic that takes the mixer out of operation and resets the automatic mode. When the operator selects START from the DCS, a command is generated to energize the motor contactor for the mixer motor and the mixer will operate regardless of level. If sump level is >5.2’ and the mixer is not in TAGOUT, LOCKOUT, and the operator has not selected START, the mixer will be in an automatic mode of operation and will run continuously. Alarms will be generated by the DCS for the mixer motor when the current is abnormal when running, if the mixer is commanded to run by the operator, or automatically and the mixer motor contactor has not closed within 2 seconds or if the sump level is >5.2’ and the mixer motor contactor has not closed within 5 seconds. Additionally, indications are provided for “NORMAL AFTER START”, “MIXER AUTOMATIC”, and “MIXER LOCKOUT”. The logic for each sump pump is identical and therefore only one pump will be discussed. The operator has the ability to START, STOP, and LOCKOUT each pump from the DCS. Additionally, the operator has the option of placing one of the sump pumps in LEAD operation. When a pump is placed in the LEAD mode of operation, that pump will be commanded to automatically start when sump level is >10’ for >5 seconds. When the automatic pump run command is generated, the pump will start provided that the pump is not in LOCKOUT, not in TAGOUT, and the operator has not already manually started the pump. When placed in LOCKOUT, the pump will not operate. When the operator places the pump in STOP, a momentary signal of two seconds is generated from within the logic that takes the pump out of operation and resets the automatic mode. When the operator selects START from the DCS, a command is generated to energize the motor contractor for the pump motor and the pump will operate. An alarm will be generated by the DCS if the pump motor contactor is open for two seconds while the pump is commanded to run either manually or automatically.

When the operator selects OPEN and the valve is not in TAGOUT, the DCS will latch an OPEN command regardless of pump status, will reset the CLOSE command latch and will remove the valve from the automatic mode of operation. Whenever the operator selects CLOSE and the valve is not in TAGOUT, the DCS will latch a CLOSE command, reset the OPEN command latch and will remove the valve from the automatic mode of operation provided the pump is not running. Whenever the DCS generates an OPEN or CLOSE command either automatically or manually, a “FAIL TO OPN” or “FAIL TO CLS” alarm will be generated if the valve does not indicate in the commanded position within 20 seconds. If the valve’s associated pump is running and the valve does not indicate open within 20 seconds or if the valve’s associated pump is not running and the valve does not indicate closed within 20 seconds, a “WRONG POSN” alarm will be generated.

2300.601.2.4 Detailed Controls Description

Dewatering Area Sump The Dewatering Area Sump consists of a sump mixer, two sump pumps with associated discharge control valves, and two level transmitters. The level transmitters are used to generate an average sump level which is used for controlling mixer and pump operation as well as to generate a sump level high alarm. The minimum sump level required to operate the mixer in automatic mode is > 5.2’ and a pump will energize to drain the sump contents at a level of 10’. The high level alarm is generated at >11’. Each level transmitter is ranged from 0’ to 12’. Should one of the transmitters indicate bad quality (bad signal), that transmitter is not used to calculate sump level and the remaining transmitter will be the only source for sump level. Additionally, the operator can select a transmitter to bypass if necessary. The operator has the ability to START, STOP, and LOCKOUT the mixer from the DCS. When placed in LOCKOUT, the mixer will not operate. When the operator places the mixer in STOP, a momentary signal of two seconds is generated from within the logic that takes the mixer out of operation and resets the automatic mode. When the operator selects START from the DCS, a command is generated to energize the motor contactor for the mixer motor and the mixer will operate regardless of level. If sump level is >5.2’ and the mixer is not in TAGOUT, LOCKOUT, and the operator has not selected START, the mixer will be in an automatic mode of operation and will run continuously. Alarms will be generated by the DCS for the mixer motor when the current is abnormal when running, if the mixer is commanded to run by the operator, or automatically and the mixer motor contactor has not closed within 2 seconds or if the sump level is >5.2’ and the mixer motor contactor has not closed within 5 seconds. Additionally, indications are provided for “NORMAL AFTER START”, “MIXER AUTOMATIC”, and “MIXER LOCKOUT”. The logic for each sump pump is identical and therefore only one pump will be discussed. The operator has the ability to START, STOP, and LOCKOUT each pump from the DCS. Additionally, the operator has the option of placing one of the sump pumps in LEAD operation. When a pump is placed in the LEAD mode of operation, that pump will be commanded to automatically start when sump level is >10’ for >5 seconds. When the automatic pump run command is generated, the pump will start provided that the pump is not in LOCKOUT, not in TAGOUT, and the operator has not already manually started the pump. When placed in LOCKOUT, the pump will not operate. When the operator places the pump in STOP, a momentary signal of two seconds is generated from within the logic that takes the pump out of operation and resets the automatic mode. When the operator selects START from the DCS, a command is generated to energize the motor contractor for the pump motor and the pump will operate. An alarm will be generated by the DCS if the pump motor contactor is open for two seconds while the pump is commanded to run either manually or automatically.

Additionally, indications are provided for “NORMAL AFTER START”, “PUMP AUTOMATIC”, and “PUMP LOCKOUT”. A back flush control valve is provided for each sump pump. The logic for each control valve is identical and therefore only one valve will be discussed. The operator has the ability to OPEN, CLOSE, and place the valve in AUTO. When the valve is in the automatic mode of operation, the DCS will issue an OPEN command whenever Sump Level is above 10 feet, or neither Sump Pump A or B is running for >60 seconds. The OPEN command will energize the valve’s positioner to open the valve.

If Sump Level is < 10 feet for >60 seconds, or either Sump Pump A or B is running for >60 seconds, the OPEN command will be reset de-energizing the valves positioner to close the valve.

When the operator selects OPEN and the valve is not in TAGOUT, the DCS will issue an OPEN command regardless of pump status. Whenever the operator selects CLOSE and the valve is not in TAGOUT, the DCS will reset the OPEN command, de-energizing the valves positioner to close the valve. Whenever the DCS generates an OPEN or CLOSE command either automatically or manually, a “FAILED” alarm will be generated if the valve does not indicate in the commanded position within 30 seconds. Indications provided for the valve by the DCS are “OPENED LIMIT”, CLOSED LIMIT”, “AUTO”, “OPEN”, and “CLOSED”.

A discharge control valve is provided for each sump pump. The logic for each control valve is identical and therefore only one valve will be discussed. The operator has the ability to OPEN, CLOSE, STOP and place the valve in AUTO. When the valve is in the automatic mode of operation, the DCS will latch an OPEN command whenever the valve’s associated pump is running provided the valve is not in TAGOUT. The OPEN command will energize the valve’s positioner to open the valve and will reset the CLOSE command latch for the valve. Whenever the valve’s associated pump is not running and the valve is in automatic, the DCS will latch a CLOSE command and will energize the valve’s positioner to close the valve and the OPEN command latch will be reset. When the operator selects OPEN and the valve is not in TAGOUT, the DCS will latch an OPEN command regardless of pump status, will reset the CLOSE command latch and will remove the valve from the automatic mode of operation. Whenever the operator selects CLOSE and the valve is not in TAGOUT, the DCS will latch a CLOSE command, reset the OPEN command latch and will remove the valve from the automatic mode of operation provided the pump is not running. Whenever the DCS generates an OPEN or CLOSE command either automatically or manually, a “FAIL TO OPN” or “FAIL TO CLS” alarm will be generated if the valve does not indicate in the commanded position within 20 seconds.
