OPERATION
The cooling water system is mainly a mechanical-hydraulic-system with few options for local operation.
The cooling water pumps are automatically started and stopped by the motor control system (MCC) as an integrated part of the start stop sequence of the generating units.
Control systems are described in the Control System Suppliers User Manual.
Drw. no. ##### – P&I Diagram. Cooling Water System, shows the valves in their normal operating positions.
During operation the stand-by filter CM CW FL 140, the stand-by strainer CM CW FL 150 or the stand-by heat exchanger CM CW HEX 160 can be put into service.
IMPORTANT: Open their isolating valves before closing the isolating valves of the main components.
5.1 Operating limits
Please refer to the operation check-list table in section 3.6.
5.2 Start-up, normal operation
By opening the primary circuit isolating gate valve U1 CW VV 1418
(U2 CW VV 1418), water is fed into the primary circuit from the draft tube. Make sure that this valve is open before starting the unit.
Air is released by opening the manual air ventl valves on the heat exchangers, see suppliers manual. Close the valves when water is flowing out.
Under normal, continuous operation, the system needs systematically visual surveillance. The vital functions have protective measures which signal abnormal conditions. It is however advisable to survey the parameters in section 3.6 regularly.
Detailed description of the equipment operation is given in the appropriate sub-supplier documentation, see Section 8.

OPERACIÓN
El sistema de agua para refrigeración es principalmente un sistema mecánico-hidráulico con pocas opciones para operación local.
Las bombas del agua para refrigeración son arrancadas y detenidas automáticamente por el sistema de control de motores (MCC) como parte integral de la secuencia de arranque y paro de las unidades de generación.
Los sistemans de control se describen en el Manual de Usuario del Proveedor del Sistema de Control.
El plano No. ##### – Diagramas de Tubería e Instrumentación. Sistema de Agua para Refrigeración, muestra las válvulas en sus posiciones normales de operación.
Durante la operación, el filtro de respaldo CM CW FL 140, el colador de respaldo CM CW FL 150 o el intercambiador de calor de respaldo CM CW HEX 160 pueden ser puestos en servicio.
IMPORTANTE: Abra las válvulas de aislamiento de los componentes de respaldo antes de cerrar las válvulas de aislamiento de los componentes principales.
5.1 Límites operacionales
Consulte la tabla de las listas de revisión de operación en la sección 3.6.
5.2 Arranque, operación normal
Se suministra agua al circuito principal desde el tubo de aspiración al abrir la válvula-compuerta de aislamiento del circuito primario U1 CW VV 1418 (U2 CW VV 1418). Asegurese de que esta válvula esté abierta antes de arrancar la unidad.
Se libera el aire al abrir las válvulas manuales de purgado de aire en los intercambiadores de calor, ver manual del proveedor. Cierre las válvulas cuando salga agua.
Durante la operación continua normal, el sistema necesita supervisión visual sistemática. Las fuciones vitales tienen medidas protectivas que señalan condiciones anormales. Sin embargo, es recomendable vigilar con regularidad los parámetros de la sección 3.6.
La descripción detallada de la operación de los equipos se da en la documentación correspondiente de los sub-proveedores, ver Sección 8.

CONCEPTO DE DISEÑO ARQUITECTONICO
El diseño y la especificación del proyecto arquitectónico, cumple con todas las leyes y reglamentos vigentes y aplicables del gobierno YYYYYY y con los códigos y reglamentos locales aplicables.
El diseño cumple con los Aspectos Técnicos y Administrativos especificados en el Reglamento de Ley de Edificaciones de ZZZZZZ, así como en lo especificado en los manuales de Diseño de Obra Civil de la ABCDE.
Las instalaciones se localizan dentro del sitio donde estará ubicada la Planta XXXXXX. Todas las instalaciones se han diseñado para que sean funcionales y prácticas, optimizando la larga vida y el bajo mantenimiento, pero sobre todo para que combinen estéticamente con el entorno.
La disposición de los edificios en la planta de tratamiento XXXXXX, muestra los edificios de administración y laboratorio, la caseta de vigilancia cercanos a la entrada al sitio y podrán ser fácilmente identificables por el público. Estos edificios están separados del personal operativo y de las otras estructuras de la planta por áreas verdes y vialidades.
Tanto el edificio dedicado al taller y actividades operacionales como el edificio de tratamiento de lodos, están situado junto con las estructuras de la planta. El taller se sitúa próximo a las unidades de tratamiento final, por consideraciones de olores y mantenimiento de los edificios.
El edificio de tratamiento de lodos se sitúa próximo al tanque de almacenamiento de lodos, en una zona de fácil acceso para los camiones de acarreo de lodos, debido a las operaciones de carga y descarga de contenedores que se realizarán diariamente.
Toda el área de la planta no ocupada por estructuras será cubierta con vegetación elegido por su bajo mantenimiento, estética, ampliamente usada localmente y efectiva contra la corrosión del suelo.
Dentro de las instalaciones se proporcionan superficies de pavimento adecuado, tanto para la circulación de vehículos como de peatones, según lo establecido en los Criterios de Diseño Civil.
Las fachadas de todos los edificios serán uniformes en estilo y materiales de construcción. Los acabados de los muros son de ladrillo con soporte estructural de bloques de mampostería. Las paredes están aisladas tanto para el calor como para el frío, disminuyendo así costos de calefacción y enfriamiento.
El edificio de Administración se ofrece con un acabado más elaborado que el resto de estructuras, aunque manteniendo una estética similar al resto de edificios. | Translation - English
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CONCEPT
The design and specifications of the architectural project meet all the current applicable YYYYYY laws and regulations as well as applicable local codes and regulations.
The design meets the Technical and Administrative Aspects specified in the ZZZZZZ Building Law Regulations, and the specifications of the ABCDE Civil Design manuals.
The facilities are located within the XXXXXX Plant site. All of the facilities have been designed to be functional and practical, optimizing a long life and low maintenance, but above all to harmonize aesthetically with the surroundings.
The layout of the buildings in the XXXXXX Wastewater Treatment Plant shows the administration and laboratory buildings, the guard booth near the site entrance and will be easily identifiable for the public. These buildings are separated from the operational personnel and other structures by green areas and roads.
The workshop and operational building and the sludge treatment building are located together with the plant structures. The workshop is located next to the final treatment units in consideration of the odors and building maintenance.
The sludge treatment building is located next to the sludge storage tank in an area accessible to the sludge transportation vehicles, due to the daily container loading and unloading operations.
All plant areas not occupied by structures will be covered with vegetation chosen for their low maintenance, aesthetics, local use and effectiveness against soil erosion.
Sufficient and appropriate paved surfaces will be provided within the facilities for vehicles and pedestrians as established by the Civil Design Criteria.
All building façades will be uniform in style and construction materials. The wall finishes will be brick with stone block for structural support. The walls will be insulated against heat and cold, thus lowering the costs of heating and cooling.
The Administration building is offered with a more elaborate finish than the remaining structures, although it will keep aesthetics similar to that of the other buildings. |
