Operators Manual

The company s operator mannal is a key connnnnication link between the company and its operators. It conveniently brings together information about the company and its policies and procedures. It is indispensable for training new operators and is a handy reference for existing operators. The manual should be progressively developed and continually updated. 

The manual should describe the fleet safety program. It should set out the carrier s standards for safe driving. Procedures for reviewing and classifying accidents, established by the company, should be included. It should also explain the company s disciplinary procedures.

Each of these experimental designs also uses a different type of instrument. To aid in understanding how they control and measure current and potential, these instruments are described as if they were operated manually. To do so the analyst... 

The Operation manual accompanying each analy2er should be consulted for the recommended startup, installation, and caUbration procedures. 

Environmental awareness is a prime concern in all KOH plants. Safety precautions required in KOH and chlorine operations are well documented in operating manuals and sales brochures pubUshed by all commercial producers. Discharges of waste effluents containing mercury are strictly forbidden.

Although such control devices are usually automatically operated, manual operation is satisfactoiy for some services. When manual operation is provided, it often consists of a valve or valves to open and close clearance pockets. In some cases, a movable cyhnder head is provided for variable clearance in the cylinder (see Fig. 10-92). 

For sampling a relatively small number of sources, a simplified calculation form may be used. Such forms enable the office personnel to perform the arithmetic necessary to arrive at the answers, freeing the technical staff for proposals, tests, and reports. Many of the manufacturers of source-testing equipment include example calculation forms as part of their operating manuals. Some standard sampling methods include calculation forms as a part of the method (8). Many control agencies have developed standard forms for their own use and will supply copies on request. 

The intent of this standard is to eover the normal requirements of the majority of applieations, reeognizing that eeonomie trade-offs and reliability implieations may differ in some applieations. The user may desire to add, delete, or modify the requirements in this standard to meet his speeifie needs, and he has the option of doing so in his own bid speeifiea-tion. The gas turbine eontrol system shall inelude sequeneing, eontrol, proteetion, and operator information, whieh shall provide for orderly and safe start-up of gas turbine, eontrol of proper loading, and an orderly shutdown proeedure. It shall inelude an emergeney shutdown eapability, whieh ean be operated automatieally by suitable failure deteetors or whieh ean be operated manually. Coordination between gas turbine eontrol and driven equipment must be provided for startup, operation, and shutdown.

If the control valve size is critical to the overpressure protection of the downstream equipment, and must not be increased, then this is clearly noted in all relevant documentation (specification sheets, flow diagram, operating manual, etc.,) and a warning notice plate is welded to the valve body. In such cases, an actual check of the valve installed or purchased should be made during the startup review. 

Wliatever type of monitoring instrumentation is employed it should be operated, ealibrated, and maintained in aeeordanee with all reeom-mended manufaeturer speeifieations. A eopy of the operating manual should be maintained in elose proximity to the equipment and should be ineluded as an appendix to the safety plan. Those who are operating the equipment should be trained adequately and understand the limitations of that equipment. The operator should know the eontents of the manufaeturer s manual and be able to answer questions about that equipment.

In addition to the documents that serve product manufacture and installation or service delivery, documents may also be required for maintenance and operation. The product descriptions, handbooks, operating manuals, user guides, and other documents which support the product or service in use are as much a part of the design as the other product requirements. Unlike the manufacturing data, the support documents may be published either generally or supplied with the product to the customer. The design of such documentation is critical to the success of the product, as poorly constructed handbooks can be detrimental to sales. 

Documents such as job descriptions, operating manuals, emergency procedures, accident, and "near-accident" records, can be useful sources of information about the task to be studied. Pipework and instrumentation diagrams can also be used to gain an insight into the complexity of the process, the type of control loops installed, and the process parameters to be manually controlled by the workers. 

During this assessment phase, deliberately look for programs and elements. The most likely sources are Operating Manuals/Procedures, PSM, and ESH Manuals, and PSM and ESH specialists. In each case, your assessment team should seek out descriptions of the objectives of each... 

Bums and Hazzan demonstrated tlie use of event tree and fault tree analysis in tlie study of a potential accident sequence leading to a toxic vapor release at an industrial chemical process plant. The initiator of tlie accident sequence studied is event P, the failure of a plant programmable automatic controller. Tliis event, in conjunction willi the success or failure of a process water system (a glycol cooling system) mid an operator-manual shutdown of tlie distillation system produced minor, moderate, or major release of toxic material as indicated in Fig. 21.4.1. The symbols W, G, O represent tlie events listed ...

The flow controllers are often used to set desired flows for the fresh feed, stripping steam, and dispersion steam. Each flow controller usually has three modes of control manual, auto, and cascade. In manual mode, the operator manually opens or closes a valve to the desired percent opening. In auto mode, the operator enters the desired flow rate as a set-point. In cascade mode, the controller set-point is an input from another controller.

This calculation assumes, of course, that corrosion is uniform. Finally, implicit in the design will be boundary conditions on the way the plant can be run, outside of which the risk of corrosion is high. These should be clearly set out in the operating manual for the plant.
