This document deals with the process control per loop and the function of each
components in the process.
SEPARATOR TANK
Local Monitoring (Level and Pressure)
Large amount of vapor should not be permitted to enter steam line with pure
vapor, so to make sure that it will not happen level and pressure are monitored
locally. Level gauges (LG-VSS1102 and LG-VSS1103) are installed at the bridle
assembly to monitor the separator level, and a Pressure Indicator (PI) mounted
at the steam pressure nozzle is used to monitor the pressure inside the separator
tank.
The level in the separator tank can be automatically or manually controlled. Field
mounted capillary tubing level transmitters (LT-VSS1106A and LT-VSS1106B)
measures the level of the separator tank. LT-VSS1106A transmits the measured
value to a panel view indicator (LI-VSS1106A) for remote monitoring of separator
tank level; likewise LT-VSS1106B transmits its measured value to LI-VSS1106B

brine injection or to wells. Set point of the LIC-VSS1106 is monitored and can be
Locally mounted level gauge (LG-VSS1106) is use to monitor if the level of tank
is low or very low. Thus, locally installed level switch low (LSL-VSS1106) and

The Rotary and Butterfly Pressure Control Valves (PCV-VSS1206A) and (PCVVSS1206B) are in split range control wherein the PCV-VSS1206A allows the
steam to flow in order to reach 18-6 psi set point. When the pressure of steam
entering MKB-RSS11 is increasing beyond set point, PCV-VSS1206B will open to
compensate the increasing pressure, and if the pressure is decreasing beyond
