Overview UOP CCR Platforming Process “The CCR Platforming process uses naphtha boiling in the range of 180–400 °F to produce high-octane gasoline or petrochemical precursors. This technology is the world’s leading reforming process. It is also the technology of choice for new reforming applications, providing refiners with proven, ultra-low-pressure (50 PSIG reactor pressure) operation and producing the highest reforming yields.

UOP-type system. The oxygen analyzer is critical to the UOP-patented CCR process and designed specifically to monitor oxygen levels during catalyst regeneration. 1-2 | Thermox ® WDG-V UOP ATEX-IECEx Analyzer PN 9000-280-VE, Rev B...
2019 Thermox updated the instrument’s electronics package and renamed the product WDG-V UOP. The new electronics package includes additional diagnostics and meets the ROHS compliance directive. The AMEVision Controller replaces the Series 2000 Con- troller for the instrument as well. It includes a color LED display and additional communications options.
About the WDG-V UOP Analyzer Designed for fast response in a wide range of flue gas applications, the analyz- er mounts directly on the combustion process to provide continuous measure- ment of oxygen. A sample is drawn from the process stream by means of an air-operated aspirator and is immediately returned to the process.
Basic Elements of the Analyzer The WDG-V UOP analyzer is a complete standalone unit; no separate controller is required. The unit consists of three basic systems: • Plumbing Includes all inlet and outlet tubing, O Cell Housing, the calibration gas inlet and aspirator assembly, flow sensor, and the aspirator used to pull the sample into the analyzer.
Cell indicates the oxygen content of the other gas. A reference gas, usually air (20.9 % O ), is used for one of the gases. Figure 1-1. Zirconium oxide Cell principle of operation. 1-6 | Thermox ® WDG-V UOP ATEX-IECEx Analyzer PN 9000-280-VE, Rev B...
The voltage of the Cell depends on temperature, and so the Cell is maintained at a constant temperature. The oxygen content is then determined from the Nernst equation: where R and F are constants, T is absolute temperature, and O and O are the oxygen partial pressures on either side of the Cell.
About the Analyzer Sample System The WDG-V UOP was designed for meeting the purpose of low level oxygen measurement during the regeneration cycle in which coke deposits are re- moved from the catalyst by oxidation. The WDG-V UOP analyzer has a specially treated Zirconium Oxide Cell which is used to survive the destructive effects of halogen-oxidation.

Installation and Start-up Safety Considerations Before beginning the installation of the analyzer and before powering it up, review and follow all safety information following the Table of Contents near the beginning of this manual. This information de- scribes procedures to follow to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
If the ambient temperature is outside the specified limits or the vibration is excessive, contact your AMETEK representative to dis- cuss solutions and special options to address ambient temperatures.
Unpacking and Inspecting the Equipment Remove any packing material from the WDG-V UOP Analyzer. Check for dam- age. If equipment is damaged, notify the carrier and contact AMETEK Service (https://www.ametekpi.com/customersupport/requestsupport) immediately if parts are missing or damage is found, and to verify if damaged parts will require replacement prior to safely installing and operating the analyzer/ equipment.
Installing the Mechanical Components “Part No.” refers to AMETEK Part Number. Installing the Sample Inlet Probe For some applications, you must first connect the sample inlet probe to the analyzer before mounting the analyzer. The same applies if you are installing the probe heater or exhaust tube. Therefore, these sub- jects are discussed before the sections on how to mount the analyzer to the process.

Installing the Analyzer • The analyzer ambient temperature range is -20 °C to 60 °C. • When installing the exhaust tube, attach it to the back of the analyzer before mounting the analyzer to the process. • Mounting dimensions are provided in Figure 2-2. Do not open a Z-purge, hinged-analyzer enclosure door until you first verify that the area has been classified as non-hazardous.

, balance N Flow Calibration A flow calibration must be performed upon analyzer startup. The WDG-V UOP analyzer should be mounted on the process, fully up to normal operating tem- perature, and have typical process gas flowing prior to performing the calibra- tion.
• The WDG-V UOP analyzer contains a flame arrestor to prevent it from being an ignition source to the process for short periods of high combustible lev- els (25 % of LEL – lower explosive limit) in the process. The flame arrestor is not, however, intended to protect the process where the combustibles levels are always high.

Aspirator and Manual Calibration Connections The WDG-V UOP processes run at either atmospheric pressure, 35 PSI, or 110 PSI. Aspirator, calibration, and reference gas pressures must be set relative to the process pressure. Reference gas pressure is required for High Pressure (110 PSI) only.
RCU. 3. Connect the combustibles span calibration gas to the combustibles span gas inlet on the RCU. For a WDG-V UOP analyzer with RTD-type combus- tibles detector, the combustibles span calibration gas would also include the methane span calibration concentration.
• Use only the applicable NEMA-approved conduit fittings or cable fittings to maintain the NEMA rating for the analyzer enclosure or WDG-V UOP. If not using a conduit entry, leave the factory NEMA-approved plugs intact. Never leave any holes unplugged.
N – Neutral connection (USA) • Chassis Stud – Equipment ground (protective conductor) Use the 1/2" conduit entry hole in the WDG-V UOP for AC mains supply wiring. Use the chassis stud next to the 1/2" conduit entry hole for equipment ground (protective conductor).
EMC Grounding, Shielding and Noise Protection For EMC purposes, under no circumstances should you leave cable shields disconnected at one end or both ends of the cable (analyzer or control unit, or other device). You must use twisted-pair cable in rigid metal conduit or use twisted pair cable with an overall braided shield.
As an example, do not run motors, blowers, or air conditioners using the same mains supply circuit or conduit as the analyzer unit’s mains supply circuit or conduit. 2-22 | Thermox ® WDG-V UOP ATEX-IECEx Analyzer PN 9000-280-VE, Rev B...

Personnel should be thoroughly familiar with the operation of the WDG-V UOP Analyzer before performing the maintenance and troubleshooting procedures described in this section. Preventing leaks in the sample system is critical to proper analyzer op- eration.
Troubleshooting Never service the analyzer unless power has been removed from the analyzer, and it has been allowed to cool for at least 90 minutes. Also, always use gloves when working on the analyzer. General Troubleshooting Your system may pass calibrations, yet still seem to be reading incorrect oxy- gen levels.
2. If this doesn’t solve the problem, disassemble the analyzer to locate the plug. Clean the plumbing using hot water and a bottle brush. 3. When assembly is complete, check for leaks using a leak detecting liquid. 3-22 | Thermox ® WDG-V UOP ATEX-IECEx Analyzer PN 9000-280-VE, Rev B...
