Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a remotely mounted Anti-surge Control Valve (ASCV) for a mixed refrigerant gas compressor deployed in an industrial plant. The traditional ASCV model which is usually self-mounted is plagued by component failures due to stress fatigue from excessive vibrations leading to unreliability of the system. A new system with a remote-mount actuation control system was developed, tested, installed and commissioned in place of the initial self-mount system. Test results showed that average percentage of trips caused by failure of the ASCV dropped from 70% with the initial set-up to 0% with the modified set-up. Hence, a lasting solution to the issue of component fatigue failure from vibrations has been resolved using the highly reliable developed remote-mount actuation control.
