Level Instrument Aqaba Screening Project Volume 2 - Specs

This document provides specifications for level measurement instruments and belt scales for potash storage facilities. Non-contact level instruments like radar are preferred for measuring solids levels in bins. Tilt switches can detect plugged chutes and high pile levels. Microwave through-beam units are preferred for blocked conveyor chutes. Float switches are used for steam blowout tanks. Vibratory wand switches detect high levels in bins. Belt scales are used to weigh solids flow, with load cells for custody transfer or batch weighing. Calibration weights are provided for each belt weigher.

Design Services for the Potash Storage Facilities

Level Instruments
Non-contact level instruments (guided microwave, radar) shall be the preferred
way of measuring solids level in bins. Remote flange mounted elements with
accessible separate transmitters at ground or walkway level are preferred.
Alternately approved integral transmitters shall be mounted adjacent to access
walkways as a second option.

Level Switches
2.4.2.1 Tilt type level sensors may be used to detect plug chute conditions, high pile level
and “material-on-belt” conditions. Direct wired tilt switches are preferred with timers
in the process control system. If an integral part of the field tilt switch is a field
control unit it shall have a 0-10 second adjustable time delay to prevent false
operation.

2.4.2.2 For conveyor blocked chutes where tilt switches are not viable, microwave through
beam units are preferred. There shall be a transmitter and receiver on opposite sides
of the chute with nonmetallic (e.g. HDPE or ceramic) inserts in the chute wall through
which the microwave unit is directed. Warning signs shall be supplied with microwave
level switch applications.

2.4.2.3 Steam blowout tanks level switches shall be float type.

2.4.2.4 Vibratory wand type level switches shall be used for high-level detection in bins
containing non-corrosive liquids, dust or granular material. For bin or tank
applications flanged connections are preferred.

Belt Scale / Weighing

Solids flow shall be weighed by gravimetric conveyor belt scales.

Load cells shall be used for custody transfer or batch weighing of products and
material.
Strain gauge weighing systems with sensors bolted on the structural support
shall only be considered for coarse weight applications on isolated structures not
subject to vibration.
The scale electronics shall be microprocessor based and belt-speed
compensated. The transmitted weight signal shall be an isolated 4-20 mA signal
with pulse signals for totalization within the process control system. Pulse rate
and width shall be selectable. Vendor shall also provide serial communication
from the microprocessor utilizing HART protocol if available (alternatively RS-
485 Modbus RTU protocol) to the process control system.
Scales shall be designed to provide ±0.5% accuracy for in-plant systems. For
systems involving product sale, the scales shall be designed to provide 0.25%
accuracy.

Calibration weights or calibration chains with troughs shall be provided


separately for each belt weigher.
