. SURGE Surge is defined as “self oscillation of pressure and flow, often including a flow reversal” Every centrifugal or axial comp has a characteristics combination of max.head and and min.flow beyond which it will surge.during surge there is actual reversal of flow accompanied by pressure drop .
. SURGEDESCRIPTION . Flow reverses in 20 to 50 milisec. .Surge cycle at a rate of .3 to 3 sec. .Comp. Vibrates . Temperature rises. .Whooshing noise .trips may occur

BASIC ANTISURGE CONTROL SYSTEM .ANTISURGE CONTROLLER PROTECT THE COMP AGAINST SURGE BY OPENING RECYCLE VALVE .THIS REDUCES RESISTANCE (BACK PRESS) THIS TAKES THE COMP.AWAY FROM SURGE SUCT DISCHARGE R PROCESS R R PROCESS +VALVE Q2
SURGE LINES STOPPING SURGE REQUIRE THE ABILITY TO KNOW THE IMPENDING SURGE WHICH MEANS KNOWING WHERE IS THE OPERATING POINT RELATIVE TO SURGE POINT SO SURGE CONTROL LINE IS DEFINED FOR SET POINT OF ANTISURGE CONTROLLER SLL Hr SCL SLL SURGE LIMIT LINE SCL SURGE CONTROL LINE b b. Is the distance between two lines(margin of safety) Q2
Protection 1 ANTISURGE CONTROLLER OPERATION CLOSE LOOP CONTROL PI WHEN OPERATING POINT CROSSES SCL,PI CONTROLLER WILL OPEN RECYCLE VALVE SUITABLE FOR SMALL DISTURBANCE AND STADY STATE SLL B A SCL
Protection 1 WHY CLOSE LOOP CONTROL IS INEFFECTIVE . Since surging is fast so for PI controller to be fast b shuld be high. . But increasing b will limit comp. Operation in lower thruput and unnecessary will recycle SLL Speed can also be increased by adding derivative value, but usingPID will open valve in response to any movement Toward surge,even if op. point Is away from limit. b SCL
Protection 1 ANTISURGE CONTROLER OPERATION ENHANCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PI CONTROLLER BY ADAPTIVE GAIN .WHEN THE OPERATING POINT MOVES FAST TOWARD SCL ,(by calculating time derivative of operating point)ADAPTIVE GAIN MOVES THE SCL TOWARD OPERATING POINT .THIS ALLOWS THE PI CONTROLLER TO REACT EARLIER .AS A RESULT SMALL B CAN BE ACHIEVED WITHOUT SACRIFICING RELIABILITY. SLL b SCL
Protection 2 ANTISURGE CONTROLER OPERATION RECYCLE TRIP LINE .WHEN PI CONTROLLER IS TOO SLOW TO CATCH THE DISTURBANCE .OPERATING POINT HITS RTL .OPEN LOOP RESPONSE IS TRIGGERED RTL SLL B C A TOTAL SCL O/P VALVE PI RTL TIME
Protection 2 ANTISURGE CONTROLER OPERATION RECYCLE TRIP LINE .OPEWRATING POINT MOVES BACK TO SAFE SIDE OF RTL -RT FUNCTION DECAYS OUT STEP RESPONSE - PI CONTROLLER INTEGRATE TO STABILIZE ON SCL .RESONSE OF CONTROLLER IS SUM OF PI CONTROLLER AND RTL ACTION RTL SLL B C A TOTAL SCL O/P VALVE PI RTL TIME
ANTISURGE CONTROLER OPERATION Protection 3 SAFETY ON LINE (SOL) . IF OPERATING POINT CROSSES THE SOL LINE THE COMP IS IN SURGE .SO RESPONSE SHIFTS THE SCL AND RTL TO RIGHT .SO ADDITIONAL SURGE MARGIN IS ADDED . SLL SOL SCL RTL BENEFITS OF SO 1.ADDITIONAL SURGING IS AVOIDED BY LARGE SURGE MARGIN 2.ALARM OF SURGE IS PRODUCED(this has to reset for normalisation)
Antisurge valve requirements .VALVE SIZING -must be large enough to prevent surge under all possible operating condition - excessive large valve will provide poor control precision and lead to stonewall. - 1.8Cv cal< Cv sel<2.2Cvcal Cvcal correspond to point at intersection of mas speed curve to SLL .VALVE CHARACTERSTICS - it can operate anywhere between 0% to 100%. -linear characterstics is preffered.
Antisurge valve requirements STROKE SPEED -FAST STROKING SPEED IS VERY IMPORTANT recommended full stroke time size close to open open to close 1” to 4” 1 sec <3 sec 6 “to 12” 2sec <5 sec 16” up 3 sec <10 sec MISCELLENEOUS .adequate air supply to power the valve .tubing run shuld be minimized to reduce lag time . One or more vol .booster are required to esure fast response and equal opening and closing time .fail position shuld be open .
