SYSTEM 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.

Thermox and WDG UOP Series 1980 Thermox, in conjunction with the UOP Process Division, de- veloped the WDG-III UOP to monitor the gaseous atmosphere during a regeneration cycle of UOP’s Licensed Continuous Catalyst Regeneration process. With their technical guidance this analyzer evolved to the current model WDG-IV UOP/RP . 1999 UOP and Thermox addressed plugging and corrosion issues with the external sample return line which is outside the scope...

All required I/O comes with the analyzer. See the “Electronics” section for descriptions. Analyzer Communications The analyzer is configured, calibrated and monitored using the MODBUS RTU interface.

A refer- ence 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 IECEx/ATEX...
The voltage of the cell depends on temperature, and so the cell is main- tained 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 the oxygen partial pressures on either side of the cell.
A portion of this gas passes over the zirco- nia sensor. Because the aspirator gas contains no oxygen, the sample can simply be returned to the process. Figure 1-2. Typical WDG-V UOP sensor configuration. 1-8 | Thermox WDG-V UOP IECEx/ATEX...

Mechanical Installation • Sample Inlet Probe Installation • Exhaust Tube Installation (optional) • Sensor Mounting • Remote Calibration Unit Mounting and Plumbing (optional) Sample Inlet Probe Installation For some applications, you must first connect the sample inlet probe to the sensor before mounting the sensor. The same applies if you are installing the probe heater or exhaust tube.
Exhaust Tube Installation When installing the exhaust tube, connect it to the sensor before mounting the sensor to the process. The hastelloy exhaust tube allows you to extend the aspirator exhaust. The exhaust tube has a thread on only one end of the tube. To install the exhaust tube, thread it into the exhaust port on the rear of the sensor as shown in Figure 3-2.

Calibration/Aspirator Air Required Calibration Gases and Tubing See Specifications for information on calibration gases. The span gas is the high gas; the zero gas the low gas. The span gas must be 10 times greater than the zero gas. For example, if the zero gas is 1% O , the span gas must be 10% O or higher.

RCU is -20° to 70°C. Mount the RCU as close to the sensor as possible.

Connect the O span gas, if other than instrument air, to the alternate span gas inlet. Connect the O zero calibration gas to the O zero gas inlet connection on the RCU. Connect the combustibles span calibration gas to the combustibles span gas inlet on the RCU.
Connections to the sensor unit are made through the wiring card. The wiring card is located on the front-bottom of the sensor unit. Any screw terminals on the wiring card not described in this section are reserved for future use. 3-14 | Thermox WDG-V UOP IECEx/ATEX...
General Wiring and Conduit Requirements This section provides mandatory EMC grounding, shielding, and noise protection requirements. • Sensor wiring conductors must be rated at a minimum of 80°C. All other wiring conductor ratings should be for the minimum temperature required for the equipment being connected to the analyzer, but not less than 60°C.
AC input terminal (L or N) the AC Line or Neutral is connected to, or, if there is a Neutral used at all (i.e., 208 VAC US power connection). 3-16 | Thermox WDG-V UOP IECEx/ATEX...
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 (sensor 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.
Transient and RFI interference This section describes transient and RFI interference precautions: • Although there are transient and noise protectors on all sensor unit I/O connections (communications, current outputs, sensor, etc.), this protection is intended to act as a last line of defense against unwanted transient and RFI interference.

Plugged Plumbing Check Exercise care when working on the sensor. Allow the unit to cool and wear gloves. Examine the inlet and exhaust for plugging problems. When possible, rod out the probe and exhaust. If this doesn’t solve the problem, disassemble the analyzer to locate the plug.
Calibration/Aspirator Setup Checks • AC Power Checks • Furnace Checks • Process Pressure Checks • Cell Checks Exercise care when working on the sensor. Turn off power, allow the unit to cool, and wear gloves. 5-4 | Thermox WDG-V UOP IECEx/ATEX...
Thermocouple Checks Remove power to the sensor. Measure across terminals Open Thermocouple “+TC-” on the sensor board with an ohm meter. If an open is measured, replace the thermocouple. Check that the thermocouple leads are not shorted to chassis ground by using an Ohm meter to measure between terminal TC+ on the sensor board and chassis ground, and between terminal TC- on the sensor board and chassis ground.
If wiring is correct, replace the electronics. If the solenoid drive signal is present, it indicates a problem with one of the solenoid valves. Replace the solenoid valve, being sure that the solenoid O-ring seals are properly positioned. 5-6 | Thermox WDG-V UOP IECEx/ATEX...
