Description:

This course will enable the student to understand basic Sample Conditioning System principles and technologies to provide a component-level design in Legacy or Modular (ANSI/ISA76) formats. These Sample System components will include probes, transfer lines, filters, coolers, pumps, flow control and measurement, materials, electrical hazard ratings for enclosures, and climate control technologies, component sequence, lag time, dew point, bubble point, and troubleshooting simulations.

 

You will be able to:

• Recognize the practical aspects of Sample Conditioning System component selection and design.

• Describe the relationship between Process Conditions and Sample Conditioning requirements.

• Decide which technology [Legacy (conventional) or Modular] to apply in designing your Sample Conditioning System.

• Troubleshoot a basic Process Analyzer Sample Conditioning System.

 

You will cover:

• Legacy (conventional) Components: Probes, Transfer Lines,  Coolers,  Pumps Flow Rate-Measure and Control,  Pressure-Measure and Control, Materials-Enclosures, Electrical Hazard Rating-Enclosures, Climate Control

• Modular (ANSI/ISA-76.00.02-2002) Components: Basic Substrate Technology, Third Party Component Availability

• System Design: Component Order, Calculations, Exercise, Typical Examples

 

General Course Goals

 

Describe basic Legacy Sample Conditioning System technology:

• Design principles

• Component selection principles

• Legacy vs. Modular formats

 

Design a basic Legacy Sample Conditioning System:

• Gaseous sample format

• Liquid sample format

 

Identify basic modular Sample Conditioning System technology:

• Review an actual system: drawings, design basis, hands-on experience.

 

Lab and Classroom Exercises:

• Classroom presentation by a 45+ year experienced ISA Fellow who is an internationally recognized Process Analyzer System design and commissioning expert.

• Configure a basic Sample Conditioning System in Legacy or Modular format for liquid or gaseous samples.

• Observe the construction of a Modular Substrate Sample Conditioning System.

 

Classroom Materials (provided):

• Spiral bound MS PowerPoint notebook of Lecture Slides.

 

Course Prerequisites

• Students Should Have a job in process analyzer maintenance.

• One (1) year of High School Chemistry.

• ISA CCST Level 1 personnel would benefit significantly from this course.
