Compressed Air Best Practices - February 2009 - (Page 26) | 02/09 Focus Industry POWER PLANTS | INSTRUMENT AIR IN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS The CANUG 2009 Conference was held at Disney’s Contemporary Resort and featured Compressed Air Challenge® training. The trainers were Bill Scales and Tom Taranto. Instrument Air Specifications for New Nuclear Power Plants There are new nuclear power plants on the horizon. These will be built or supplied as modular units. There will only be a few designs to choose from and therefore, the plants will be identical. By designing and building them this way, it will be much more cost effective and easier to have them licensed for power operation. When the concept of similar power plants was first presented, CANUG took it on as a challenge. The challenge was to provide to the power plant designers with an ideal instrument air system configuration, one that was not only reliable but also cost effective and flexible. Each of the present CANUG members has an Instrument Air System which has some shortcomings and this was an opportunity to provide input to the future plant designers, eliminating those shortcomings. Defense-in-Depth of Three With respect to the Ideal Instrument Air System, the CANUG requests a defense-in-depth of three. This will allow for one instrument air train to be in “maintenance” while the other two are configured in “run” and “standby.” Each of the three trains should consist of a compressor and associated inter-/after-cooler(s), wet receiver, pre-filter/mist eliminator, desiccant dryer and after filter. To enhance the flexibility, the component trains ought to have the ability to be cross-connected as well as have connections to the systems which would allow an outside source of air. Dry receivers should be used at the outlet of the after filters and as needed at the far reaches of the Instrument Air System. 26 www.airbestpractices.com http://www.airbestpractices.com
