Process Photometers – PUV3402 and PIR3502

Applications, Technology and Data

Principle of Operation

The PUV3402 and PIR3502 Process Photometersoptical path consists of an IR or UV source, a brushless chopper motor, a multichannel filterwheel, lenses, cell with windows, and a solid stateIR or UV detector. (See Optical Bench Schematic).

The brushless chopper motor rotates the multi-channel filter wheel reference and measure filters,alternately and continuously, into and out of theoptical path. The lenses, L1 through L4, focus andcollimate the source radiation through the samplecell path to the detector.

On a multichannel photometer, a reference wave-length is chosen where the stream components have little or no absorbance. The measure wave-length or wavelengths are chosen where the meas-ured components have absorbance. The micro-processor will then use matrix algebra and apply the proper response factor to each filter to eliminateinterferences on the desired component and convertthe absorbance to a component concentration.

Advantages of the Design

The PUV3402 and PIR3502 Process Photometers usea fixed wavelength filter, single beam, multichannelprinciple. This design concept offers several advan-tages:

Produces a simple mechanical design that promotes easier service and maintenance.Compensates for obstruction of cell windows.Compensates for source and detector aging.Permits the sample cell to be isolated from the electronics.Enable multicomponent analysis.

As illustrated by the Optical Schematic, the simplemechanical design has a single optical path, fromthe source directly to the detector. The sourceenergy is focused and collimated straight to thedetector. It does not require optical mirrors or internal reflections.

This enables hardware components to be configuredfor self-alignment, making all components in the system easy to remove and replace. It also ensures a more reliable and stable long term performance.

The cell windows can be obscured by up to 50%without affecting measurement accuracy, becausethe single cell, multichannel design measures theratio of the transmitted energy between the referenceand measure wavelengths.

Problems normally associated with dual chamberdetectors and cells such as gas leaks, optical align-ments, vibrations, pitting and corrosion of cell walls,are eliminated by the single beam multichanneldesign. Also, aging problems typically associatedwith two sources or two detectors are eliminated.Again, this design concept enhances long termstability and reliability.

The ABB Process Photometer’s single source, singledetector design also enables the use of an isolatedsample cell. An isolated sample cell has many ad-vantages for on-line process measurements. Contactbetween flammable or corrosive streams and systemelectronics is prevented. Access to sample lines ismade easier, and cell removal is simplified.

Finally, this multichannel evolution of the fixed filterphotometer allows measurements in streams wherethere are several interfering compounds; and it hasthe ability to measure multiple components in manyapplications.

Enhanced Applications Capability

To enhance the application capability of the Multiwave Photometer, six options are available.

Optical Span Filter

The optical span filter for the Multiwave Photometerprovides the operator with an alternate means ofchecking the analyzer performance. It is most oftenused when the process makes it difficult to readilyacquire a calibration standard, and when normal cal-ibration methods would be difficult to accomplish orunsafe.

Temperature and Pressure Compensation – Gas Samples

Temperature Compensation is available on analyzers that donot have cell heat. It is intended to be used for vapor applications.There are two types of temperature compensation available:

Gas Law Compensation – Temperature Compensation isbased upon the Ideal Gas Law and requires no calibration or set up. An example of where Gas Law Compensation maybe useful is for streams at ambient temperature.

Empirical Compensation – Temperature Compensation is based on experimental data. It requires calibration in thefactory lab.

Pressure Compensation is used on vapor applications only. It isrecommended on suppressed range applications such as 90 –100%Chlorine. Two types of pressure compensation are available:

Gas Law Compensation – Pressure Compensation is basedon the Ideal Gas Law and requires no calibration. It is usedin selected applications where the gas sample does not havea fine line spectrum. Some common compounds with fineline spectra are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane,and ammonia.

Empirical Compensation – Pressure Compensation isbased on experimental data. It requires calibration in the factory lab. This type of compensation is recommended on suppressed ranges and on applications susceptible topressure broadening effects.

This option involves interfacing withthe Multiwave Photometer. The FiberOptic Waveguide eliminates the needto transport sample to the analyzer.With this option, the light is transmit-ted via one waveguide to the sample.Then, a second waveguide returns the samplemodified light from thesample cell to the detector.

Fiber Optics is an effective option inapplications where ...

the sample stream is highly toxichighly corrosive products areanalyzedstreams are at high temperaturestreams are at high pressurethe sample is at high vacuumthe sample needs to remain sanitarya fast response time is requiredall of the above, or any combina-tion of the above conditionsapply

Moisture applications such as water in acids, water in methanol, water inhydrocarbons, or hydrocarbons inwater are good candidates for the fiberoptic option. Applications that requirea fast response time, such as monitor-ing the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL)for hydrocarbons in air, should also be considered.

NOTE: Current applications of fiberoptics are limited to the UV/Visible(250-800 nm) and NIR (800-2100 nm).

Final Product Blending

Optimize your Gasoline and Diesel Blender with Field-proven ABB FT-NIR Technology

Final Product Blending

Product blending is an important technique used in the refining industry. It is the final stage in the conversion of crude oil into useful fuels. The blender mixes together several streams from various process units to provide fuel that meets government, international or customer specifications. Due to the fact that is the final stage in a refinery process, the optimization of this process is vital. Regardless of how efficient the upstream process units may be, this can be negated if poorly optimized blending produces a substandard fuel. In many respects it is the most important process to optimize and can also bring the maximum benefits in terms of payback.

ABB has a vast amount of experience in providing optimization of blending units. The first stage in optimization of the unit is measurement of the properties themselves that are to be optimized. ABB’s field-proven FTIR solution can deliver several benefits to the refiner. ABB’s reliable, rugged NIR spectrometer is the heart of the analysis system. It uses the latest and most advantageous NIR spectroscopy technique, Fourier Transform Near Infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy. The ABB spectrometer is specially designed to operate in process environments so the user does not need to make allowances for a fragile optical instrument.

This spectrometer is housed in a rugged industrial enclosure with hazardous area certification. A fully incorporated temperature controlled sample system provides stable, accurate results. Full Windows® process software is included to provide outputs to the plant DCS system (ModBUS, OPC, 4-20mA).

ABB will work in close partnership with you to develop customized solutions that meet your specific needs. We offer a wide range of customer support services, including method development, in-house and on-site personnel training, as well as start-up and after-sales service. ABB has been manufacturing FTIR spectrometers and accessories since its foundation in 1973. By intensive research and development activities, and through a close partnership with our customers, we have developed a unique expertise in quantitative analysis using FTIR and FT-NIR technology. As a result, we are now the world leader in FTIR and FT-NIR process analyzers. We have an installed base of over 150 currently operational analyzers used in the refining blending field and other refinery applications. We have an accumulative database of approximately 40,000 spectra that can accelerate the implementation of any new blending project. Our expertise and experience means we can confidently claim to be a world leader in this field.

Common Operating/Problems

Final product blending represents perhaps the most quality-critical aspect of refinery operation. Tight product quality characteristics are defined, and must be met for product release.

If these criteria are to be met economically (i.e. with minimized high-cost product giveaway, and by the use of the available blending feedstocks with the lowest cost), then both rapid and accurate on-line product (and feedstock) property measurements are necessary.

The measured product qualities are then available in real-time for feeding to an on-line blending optimizer, thus ensuring the most economic blending operation to achieve blend targets.

Conventionally, this has been done with a large variety of physical property analyzers and on-line engines to monitor blend properties and octane. These sets of analyzers are extremely expensive, in terms of both capital and on-going maintenance.

Solution / Benefits

The ABB range of Process FT-NIR analyzers for on-line gasoline and diesel blend optimization allows for rapid multi-stream and multi-property quality determination of gasoline and gasoil blending components and final product streams. The calibration methodologies employed, and the transferability of calibrations and calibration databases between ABB laboratory analyzers and process blending analyzers, allow for rapid project startup, and minimize the amount of site-specific calibration work needed. For these reasons, the cost of ownership can be significantly reduced, compared with conventional final product blending analysis methods.

By accurately measuring final product qualities in real-time, the analyzer will allow feeding any on-line Advanced Blend Control blend optimizer with the required product qualities, will minimize product re-blends and quality giveaway, and will allow the use of lower-cost feedstocks while still meeting final product quality targets. Accurate measurement of blending component qualities as they arrive at the blend header will also allow the optimizer to determine the best achievable blend order.

Gustave, process manager. Knew where to turn to fuel strong returns.

H e r o N0 345

Gustave is responsible for optimizing the blending margin at a petroleum refinery. A lot rides on the monitoring equipment he selected. Substandard blends mean additional re-blend costs; over-target blends mean reduced profit margins. With their excellent reputation for real-time, on-line gasoline blend optimization, ABB’s FT-NIR refinery process solutions caught Gustave’s attention. And once installed, the millions of dollars in savings ABB’s solution generated caught the attention of Gustave’s superiors. FT-IR Optimizing Productivity. Learn how ABB Analytical helped Gustave overcome technical challenges.

Gustave, process manager. Knew where to turn to fuel strong returns.

Primary responsibilities: 1. Maximize refinery’s blending margin.2. Meet final blended product qualities required by legislation.2. Avoid shipping over-target products or incurring re-blend

costs by blending sub-standard gasoline.

The challengeGustave needed an on-line quality monitoring solution to enable consistent, on-target blends, using the most economical blending recipe from his pool of blending components.

ABB’s FT-NIR analyzers have an excellent reputation for real-time, on-line gasoline blend optimization.

However, Gustave was concerned calibration models could be difficult to develop and maintain. Custom calibrations used by on-line analyzers must be developed in the laboratory on a different instrument. Any instabilities or photometric non-lineari-ties in the instruments make it difficult to develop reliable calibrations and transfer these calibrations directly from the laboratory analyzer to the on-line analyzers.

The solution“With easy-to-use software, ABB’s laboratory analyzer (MB3600-HP10) simplifies hydrocarbon sample determination and calibration development. Their analyzer also has pre-defi-ned calibrations for blended gasoline, diesel, reformate and naphtha.

“It was crucial to transfer the calibrations developed in the lab directly to the on-line process analyzers. ABB’s manufacturing methods ensure all their laboratory and process FT-NIR analy-zers provide identical absorbance spectra. This guarantees calibration transferability from lab to process without additional calibration effort or data manipulation.

“Finally, ABB offers a full range of custom calibration modeling services and application support to their customers—a great help in getting started.”

Why I chose ABB FT-NIR analyzers: Reliable real-time process monitoring with no drift ABB’s analyzers are robust and deliver consistently reliable results. Calibration transfer between instruments is also guaranteed.

Simplified analysis and calibration development in the lab With easy-to-use software and pre-calibrated analytical procedures, the MB3600-HP10 laboratory analyzer simplifies in-lab hydrocarbon sample determination. Additional custom calibrations can easily be developed for a wide range of products.

Minimal preventive maintenance All ABB FT-NIR analyzers are permanently aligned. The new MB3600-HP10 is fitted with leading-edge long-life solid-state laser metrology which completely eliminates the need for laser replacement; on-line FT-NIR analyzers feature user-replaceable modular components for easy preventative maintenance in the field.

Local technical support We used a locally certified ABB partner for installing and commissioning the on-line analyzers.

Comprehensive calibration modeling and training services ABB offers a full range of custom modeling services and chemometrics training for customers.

The results“ABB worked closely with our personnel to define the optimal solution. Six months after our blending optimization project received the go-ahead, two on-line FT-NIR analyzers were installed. In the meantime, custom calibration models were developed and validated in the lab using the MB3600-HP10. After a short period of QMI validation, the on-line analyzers were qualified for blend optimization and product release.

“My control engineer said without the in-blend optimization using validated on-line blend quality inputs from process FT-NIR, the required multiple quality constraints could never have been met simultaneously.”

Gustave’s refinery director estimates using ABB’s advanced process control on their blend operations adds at least $6 million per year to the refinery’s bottom line. – Gustave
