1. BUFFER STORAGE SYSTEM SCOPE

This instruction describes the effluent storage in buffer tanks A1-2500A/B/C/D.It covers the intial lining
up of the effluet in the buffer tanks,shutdown and normal operation of the buffer tanks and the effluent
feed pumps G1-2501A/B/C/D.
1. INTRODUCTION:
Plant effluent from core and non-core plants is collected for treatment in buffer tanks; A12500A/B/C/D. Contaminated water run-off from non-core areas is collected in drainage pits and
pumped over to the buffer storage tanks A1-2500 A or C. The general effluent drainage of the
effluent from core plant is collected in the core pit A1-850 and is pumped to effluent plant as waste
water via G1-851A/B .Waste water stream is cooled by E1-2526 a plate and frame type heat
exchanger with bypass. Waste water steam is mainly acidic in nature due to high percentage of the
PTA, CTA, and ACETIC ACID etc. Sometimes it becomes basic due to the excessive caustic wash at
the core plant. The buffer storage also receives direct discharge of mother liquor by diversion of its
normal flow to the neutralization by manual isolation valve now this is not applicable.
2. EFFLUENT STORAGE IN BUFFER TANKS
1.1. INITIAL CHECKS
1.
Check all PTW are completed and duly signed off.
2.

3. NORMAL OPERATION
1. Mother liquor is not to be diverted to neutralization plant even mother liquor filter M1-1603 is inservice or not .It is due to the reason that pH probes of the both F1-2508 and F1-2519 may be
damaged due to the high temperature of the mother liquor.
2. Effluent of the plant to be lined up in the buffer storage tanks and changeover the mother liquor and
waste water accordingly.
3. Quality-wise the effluents of the plant to be lined up in the buffer storage tanks and divert the waste
water or mother liquor accordingly.
4. Physically check the level of the buffer tanks and update the DCS board man .In order to avoid the
overflowing the buffers due to malfunction of the level transmitters.
5. To increase the flow of effluent from the buffer storage tank or to take effluent from another buffer
tank FCV-5001/5008/5021/5024 should not open more than 5% at -a -time. This is due to avoid the
entrainment of the PTA powder to neutralization section and feed storage tanks A1-2504A/B/C/D.
6. Disturbance in the oxidation plant, i-e, M1-1603 by passing causes high COD effluent flow to the
buffer storage section, due to this lineup the mother liquor to the dedicated buffer. High COD
effluent will reduce the total hydraulic load of the deep shaft, so buffers management will be
required.
7. When waste water flow from the G1-851 A/B start to decrease than open the bypass valve of the
E1-2526 and check the flow, if it become normal, inform to the shift manager for chocking of inlet
strainer of E1-2526. The PTA in effluent causes chocking of E1-2625 inlet strainer.
8. Check that all pumps G1-2501A/B/C/D are available in healthy condtion and can be taken in
service.
4. EFFLUENT COLLECTION DURING PLANT SHUT DOWN
5. Select one buffer storage tank A1-2500 A/B/C/D before one week of the plant shutdown in order to
accommodate the plant flush effluent. Plant effluent may contain the metals which are toxic for the
bacteria.
6. Take maximum flow from this buffer storage tank during the week. It should not keep on filling.
Level need to be decreased up to minimum.
7. As the core plant put on flush after shutdown, then stop taking effluent from this buffer and lock
close the buffer outlet valve and stop the transfer pump G1-2501A/B/C/D.
8. Shift both waste water and mother liquor streams to this buffer storage tank, in order to collect the
effluent in one buffer.
9. Monitor the level of this buffer via DCS and also from area in order to avoid the overflowing of
effluent in other buffer storage tanks.
10. When core plant completes its flushing than take the sport sample of the both streams Mother
Liquor and waste water from IBCs sample point and check the cobalt and manganese result.
11. Line up the effluent in some other buffer storage tank if the result of the metals is normal.
Page 4
LOTTE PAKISTAN PTA


12. Put the buffer in which contaminated effluent is collected on settling for 24 hours then take the
sample for metals and carry out test, if metals found normal then line up this buffer for feed
preparation otherwise inform to shift manager.
5. SHUT DOWN OF THE BUFFER TANKS:
There is no shutdown in the effluent collection section, the effluent collection stop which is only for
the time being. Buffer storage pumps remain in service on kickback if required otherwise can be
stopped

2. Feed Neutralization System

1. INTRODUCTION:
Effluent from the buffers storage is transfer to the first neutralization tank F1-2508 via G1-2501
A/B/C/D under flow control via FCV-5001/5008/5021/5024, with an option of taking mother liquor and
CRU spent soda ash effluent into it. Caustic soda is added in to it in the form of 5% and 47% for pH
controlling purpose between5.5 to 6.0.
Effluent from F1-2508 overflows into second neutralization tank A1-2519.Caustic and HCL can be
added to this tank (depend upon pH) but due to the presence of the acid mostly pH remains in the acidic
range so HCL tank is now relocated and lines are slip plated in this neutralization tank. The pH is
maintained between 6.0 to 6.5.The effluent overflows into outlet chamber A1-2502 from where this
effluent is supplied to feed storage tanks A1-2504 A/B/C via feed cooler E1-2518 A/B.
Feed storage tanks A1-2504 A/B/C receive the neutralized effluent for final flow to biological reactor in
secondary treatment section of effluent treatment plant. Feed flow is controlled via FCV-5068
accordingly to COD load on deep shaft.

2. STARUP OF THE C1-2580A/B/C

1. LOCAL STARTUP (MANUAL STRATUP):
i.
Local startup is initiated by pressing LOCAL menu soft key on comfort screen. Local
start-up can proceed when the chiller schedule indicates that the current time and date
have been established as a run time and date, and after the internal 15-minute start-tostart and the 1-minute stop-to-start inhibit timers have expired. The timer must expire
ii.
before the chiller will start.

Once local start-up begins, chiller; control system performs a series of pre-start tests to
verify that all pre-start alerts and safeties (i.e. number of starts , bearing temperature,
motor
temperature,
compressor
discharge
temperature,
evaporator
refrigerant
temperature, oil sump temperature, condenser pressure and line voltage) are within the
iii.
limits then control reads PRESTART otherwise the startup will be delayed or aboard.
If chiller reads PRESTART then the following sequence will start.
a. The chilled water relay energizes, and the MAINSTAT screen line now reads
STARTUP.
b. After Five seconds, the cooling water relay energizes.
c. After point b (minimum 30 seconds to maximum 5 minutes) the control system
monitors the flow of chilled water and cooling water by the PDS-5230/32/5234 &
PDS-5229/31/5233 respectively.
Page 16
LOTTE PAKISTAN PTA


d. Now control system will check the chilled water temperatures against set point. If
temperature will be below or equal to the set point plus chilled water dead
band then sequence will not proceed and if the chilled water temperature is high
enough, then start-up sequence continues.
e. Now control will check the guide vane position. If the guide vanes are more than
f.
4% open, the start-up waits until the control system closes the vanes.
If the vanes are closed and the oil pump pressure is less than 4 psi (28 kPa), the oil
pump relay energizes. The control system then waits until the oil pressure reaches
a maximum of 18 psi (124 kPa). Oil pressure verified (15 seconds minimum, 300
seconds maximum after point e.)

g. After oil pressure is verified, the control system waits for 40 seconds, and the
compressor start relay (1CR) energizes to start the compressor.
3. NORMAL OPERATION OF C1-2580 A/B/C

1. Take the reading as per log sheet.
2. Check the Running System After the compressor starts, the operator should monitor the
control screen display and observe the parameters for normal operating conditions.
3. The oil reservoir temperature should be above 120 F (49 C) during shutdown.
4. The bearing oil temperature accessed on the COMPRESS table should be 120 to 165 F (49 to
74 C). If the bearing temperature reads more than 180 F (83 C) with the oil pump running, stop
the chiller and determine the cause of the high temperature. Do not restart the chiller until
corrected.
5. The oil level should be visible anywhere in one of the two sight glasses. Foaming oil is
acceptable as long as the oil pressure and temperature are within limits.
6. The oil pressure should be between 18 and 30 psid (124 to 207 kPad) differential, as seen on the
control panel default screen. Typically the reading will be 18 to 25 psid (124 to 172 kPad) at
initial start-up.
7. The moisture indicator sight glass on the refrigerant motor cooling line should indicate
refrigerant flow and a dry condition.
8. The condenser pressure and temperature varies with the chiller design conditions. Typically the
pressure will range between 60 and 135 psig (390 to 950 kPa) with a corresponding
temperature range of 60 to 105 F (15 to 41 C). The condenser entering water temperature
should be controlled below the specified design entering water temperature to save on
compressor kilowatt requirements.
9. Cooler pressure and temperature also will vary with the design conditions. Typical pressure
range will be between 60 and 80 psig (410 and 550 kPa), with temperature ranging between 34
and 45 F (1 and 8 C).
10. Check the chiller for any abnormal sound and inform to shift manger about the abnormality.
11. Check G1-2583 for any abnormal sound and the cavitation of the pump.
Page 17
LOTTE PAKISTAN PTA


12. Check any external leakage in E1-2582 (large quantity of the makeup water indicates that there
is some leakage of the chilled water inside the circuit this continuous makeup water will not
give the required cooling).
13. If two chillers are parallel in service and chilled water entering temperature reaches to the 16 0C
then stop one of the chillers in order to run one chiller on maximum load.
14. Start the second chiller when the chilled water entering temperature is 22 to 23 0C.
4. SHUTDOWN OF THE C1-2580A/B/C:

In normal operation there is no shutdown of the chillers, it is only stopped when there is low heating
load at the chiller, the feed flow to deep shaft is below than 5o m 3/hr or any maintenance is required.
Chiller shutdown begins if any of the following condition occurs:
1. The STOP button is pressed for at least one second (the alarm light blinks once to confirm the
stop command)
2. A recycle condition is activated
3. The time schedule has gone into unoccupied mode
4. The chiller protective limit has been reached and chiller is in alarm
5. The start/stop status is overridden to stop from the control network.
The chiller shutdown sequence is given as below:
a. When a stop signal occurs, the shutdown sequence first stops the compressor by deactivating
the start relay (1CR). Status message of SHUTDOWN IN PROGRESS, COMPRESSOR
DEENERGIZED is displayed, and the compressor on time and service on time stop.
b. The guide vanes are then brought to the closed position.
c. The oil pump relay and the chilled water pump relay shut down 60 seconds after the
compressor stops.
d. The condenser water pump shuts down at the same time if the ENTERING CONDENSER
WATER temperature is greater than or equal to 115 F (46.1 C) and the CONDENSER
REFRIGRANT TEMP is greater than the CONDENSER FREEZE POINT plus 5 F (150C).
e. The stop-to-start timer now begins to count down. If the start-to-start timer value is still
greater than the value of the start-to-stop timer then this time displays on the control logic
display screen.
*Certain conditions that occur during shutdown can change this sequence.
f.
If the AVERAGE LINE CURRENT is greater than 5% after shutdown, or the starter contacts
remain energized, the oil pump and chilled water pump remain energized and the alarm is
displayed.
g. The condenser pump shuts down when the CONDENSER PRESSURE is less than the COND
PRESS OVERRIDE threshold minus 3.5 psi (24.1 kPa) and the CONDENSER REFRIG

DEEP SHAFT PACKAGE (Z1-2538) OPERATION

1. INTRODUCTION:
The Deep shaft effluent treatment package (Z1-2538) treats effluent from PTA plant. The objective of the
deep shaft is to reduce the chemical oxygen demand and concentrates the suspended solids in order to
achieve the discharge effluent quality.
The PTA plant deep shaft package (Z1-2538) consists of the mixing box (A1-2562), deep shaft head tank
(A1-2547), deep shaft (A1-2507), Degasser (A1-2510A/B), degasser blower package consists of the two
degasser blowers (C1-2509A/B) with two degasser ventilation fans (C1-2514 A/B),clarifier basins (A12511A/B) with clarifier scrapers (G1-2511 A/B), RAS pumps (G1-2512A/B/C) and air compressor
package consisting of two Air compressor (C1-2527A/B) with auxiliaries equipment.
The mixing box (A1-2562) receives the effluent from the three areas of the effluent treatment plant. The
main flow is aqueous effluent from PTA plant which has been neutralized and then cooled by the chiller
package Z1-2578.The remaining flow consists centrifuge concentrate return via G1-3107A/B and
tertiary clarifier A1-3102 sludge transfer pumps G1-3104 A/B.These effluents are mixed with the return
activated sludge from the clarifier basin A1-2511A/B coming through the RAS pumps (G1-2512 A/B/C).
These influents are fed continuously via an underground side pipe to the down comer side of the deep
shaft (A1-2507) which dilutes the large volume of the liquor recirculating with in the deep shaft. In deep
shat the effluent is contacted with the biomass and oxygen to biochemically oxidize the organic
pollutants. The oxygen for the biochemical reaction is provided by air compressor package (C12527A/B).Air is injected in the deep shaft via six down comers and six risers sparge pipes. The treated
effluent liquor overflows form deep shaft head tank to the integral off-take channel to A1-2510A/B
degasser. Degassing is achieved from the bubbling air through the liquor via a system of sparge pipe
situated on the floor of the degasser. Air for degassing is supplied by C1-2509 A/B. This degassed liquid
is transferred to the clarifier A1-2511A/B via underground pipes under the gravity flow. The settled
sludge is transferred to the deep shaft via G1-2512A/B/C (Return Activated sludge pumps) and
remaining fluid is bleed off to sludge centrifuge M1-2548 A/B as WAS (waste activated sludge).The
overflow of the clarifier is mixed with coagulant and then flocculent then it moves to the A1-3102
tertiary clarifier. The sludge of A1-3102 is transfer to deep shaft via G1-3104A/B and the treated effluent
is drained to outfall.

1. DEEP SHAFT OPERATION:

Deep shaft operation is maintained on the basis of plant load and effluent condition, there are three
defined ways to operate the deep shaft process and details of each method are given below:
NORMAL OPERATION
This condition refers to plant operating at process feed flow sheet of combined influent of 213.6
m3/hr and a COD load of up to 18.4 te /day. Under this regime normally both degasser and both
clarifier basins are operational. However it is possible to run the plant with one degasser lane and
one clarifier. During the normal plant operation one degasser and one clarifier can be handed over
for maintenance.
MAXIMUM OPERATION
This condition refers to the plant operating at process feed flow rates of combined influent between
213.6 m3/hr to 322.6 m3/hr with COD load between 18.4 te /day to 26.5 te/day. Under this regime
both degasser lanes (A1-2510A/B) and clarifiers (A1-2511A/B) must be operational.
TICKOVER OPEARTION
Deep shaft is designed to operate continuously. During the period of plant shutdown the deep shaft is
operated at low flow which is called tickover (to run the plant at low COD load without any major
change) operation.
Under above described conditions the plant must be left on tickover to prevent anaerobic condition
occurring in the process. This requires one compressor, one degasser blower, both clarifiers scarpers
and at least two RAS pumps in service. In this condition one clarifier can be taken offline. It is
necessary to reduce the MLSS concentration in the deep shaft during tickover to prevent excessively
low F/M (How much food a single pound of organisms will eat every day) ratio which loads to
the long sludge age. Long sludge age may lead to nitrification in the clarifier basins. This in turn can
lead to sludge floatation as the nitrogen attaches itself to the flocs.

sections. The sludge enters the decanter through a feed tube and enters the bowl through a
distribution chamber. As the bowl rotates the solid rapidly settles against the walls of the
spinning bowl. A screw conveyor rotating slightly lower speed than the bowl moves the solid
through the conical to the solid discharge section. At the same time the liquid effluent flow
flows through the cylindrical section to the liquid discharge.
Each centrifuge can process 11.2-27.4 M3/hr sludge contains 0.2 tons/hr of dry solid maximum.
The sludge is feed to the centrifuge from discharge header of the return activated sludge pumps
G!-2512A/B/C. The feed is under flow control. One unit is sufficient at full load of effluent
treatment plant.
Polymer is injected with the feed to the centrifuge in proportional to sludge flow. Normally it is
cationic polymer, diluted to 0.1 % W/W, for addition to centrifuge. The sludge from the outlet of
the centrifuge is transferred to the road dumper by the dedicated sludge transfer pump G1-2560
A/B with bridge breaker P1-2565 A/B. Speed of these two machines can be vary via gearbox
manual variation, provided flow range of 0.5 to 2.5 m3/hr at 6 barg pressure. The centrate water
goes to backwash pit A1-3106, from where it is send back to the deep shaft.

ii. Man: pump speed is set by HIC-5204 A/B.

3. Set the required sludge feed to the centrifuge on FIC-5138/5189.The varying sludge
flow depends upon
i. The amount of WAS to be processed.
ii. The torque signal from centrifuge.
iii.
When the torque value is on lower side then high liquid will be produced
by the centrifuge, so the level in the backwash pit A1-3106 also based the
flow of WAS to centrifuge.
iv. Capacity of the road dumper availability or wet sludge process
4. Take the round of the centrifuge to check the vibration and any abnormal sound. If
any abnormal sound/vibration appears then shutdown the centrifuge and identify
the fault and rectify it.
5. Ask DCS Boardman to give set point of HIC-5204A/B and FIC5138/5189 of the
centrifuge. Confirm that polymer pump G1-2575A/B Hic value is more than 21 %
otherwise polymer pump will trip.
6. Check the centrifuge PLC screen which shows centrifuge step on. The torque
will increase and when it will Crosse the sediment level set point, three ways valve
will opens towards local sludge carrier.
7. Ensure that on local screen that sediment level is ON. The centrifuge will start to
discharge it sludge to its hopper.
8. Check the parameter of the centrifuge which should bre in the normal given range.
9. Check the vibration of the centrifuge on the local panel on the VAH-9616A/B. This
should be less than 20 Mm/sec.
10. Check the level of the hopper on the local mounted LT-9623A/B, and also auto
start-up of the bridge breaker and sludge discharge pump. Centrifuge has tripping
on the hopper high high level.

1.
Check the sludge concentrate. If it contains sludge then change the value of the torque
through reducing WL by 01. The relative speed of the bowl and the screw will increase,
2.
due to the high separation. Maximum relative speed must be kept upto 5.0.
If the centrifuge tripped due to the increase in torque, then bring it to the previous setting
and start to increase the polymer doing after its start-up. Some time centrifuge tripped due
polymer low dosing rate and does not show any indication.
3. Have the normal round of the centrifuge and check it against nay abnormality. If any
4.
5.
abnormality appears then seek instruction from shift manager.

Take the reading as per log sheet. Compare the reading with the previous and find the change.
