INTRODUCTION
Document Purpose & Scope
The purpose of this document is to define the recommended anti-surge valve(s) and related accessories, and
components necessary for effective operation of the anti-surge control system to avoid surge during all phases of
compressor operation. This includes valve sizing data, criteria, accessories, performance evaluation and fast stop
analysis, transmitter ranges, and flow element data. This also includes the constant values that are required to
program the anti-surge control system software.

This document applies on all compressor packages that utilize Solar Turbines proprietary compressor anti-surge
control system.

General Design Notes

1. Refer to ISA standard instrument symbols and identification (ANSI/ISA-S5.1) for symbols not identified.
2. For flow measurement using orifice plates: Meter run sizing criteria shown are for compressor packages
requiring accurate performance calculations. Upstream and downstream meter-run requirements are described
in AGA REPORT #3, Part 2.
3. For restricted travel or restricted trim valves, relief valve flow capacity must not exceed the maximum flow
normally associated with an identical valve with full travel or trim.
4. The customer is responsible for keeping the recycle line free of debris that could impair valve capability.
Periodic inspections are recommended.
5. Instrument air is preferred over natural gas for valve actuation media. If natural gas must be used, proper care
needs to be taken during conduit/interconnect installation on the valve positioner to ensure that gas does not
leak to the control panel (reference: Solar Service Bulletin 5.3/102).
6. Instrument air to be clean and oil-free. Refer to ISA-S7.0.01-1996, QUALITY STANDARD FOR
INSTRUMENT AIR for detailed specifications.
7. If a temporary or permanent suction line strainer is installed between the suction flow measuring element and
the compressor, the pressure drop across it must be monitored by the unit control system to ensure proper
operation of the surge protection system. This may be accomplished by installing a second pressure transmitter
downstream of the strainer, or delta-p transmitter across the strainer.
8. Design of the piping and the selection, and placement of instruments significantly affect the performance of an
anti-surge control system. The benefits of a good piping & instrumentation design cannot be over emphasized.
The cost of correcting a poor design once the equipment is in operation can be astronomical.
9. Guidelines to help ensure proper operation of the anti-surge control system are available in Solars Gas
Compression Control Systems document (Drawing # SPGCCS). The entire document is available upon
request.
10. Anti-surge control system designs are joint venture between the compressor supplier, the controls provider, and
the piping contractor. It is important that communication between these parties be given the highest priority to
facilitate an effective and efficient compressor controls design.
11. For effective anti-surge control system, all customer furnished data (e.g. suction pipe size, flow-meter data,
suction & discharge system volumes, etc) that are used on the design must be verified and confirmed by the
customer.

Project Specific Notes

1. The recommended Fast Stop /Hot Bypass valve size is the result of Solar analysis where process and
operating conditions are modeled based on available data, but may not be sufficient to simulate the actual field
conditions. To validate Solars results, it is highly recommended that a full dynamic analysis/simulation be
rd
preformed by a 3 party or independent contractor.
2. Fast stop analysis revealed that a fast stop valve is recommended to avoid compressor surge on fast stop
shutdowns per volumes provided by the Customer. Also, taking into consideration, the design point of the
compressor is at 46% turndown, which at 46% the possibility of Compressor surge is minimized where as the
Fast Stop Analysis is based on operating conditions at 25% turndown. Customer noted that previous units have
operated in normal conditions with only an Anti-Surge Valve with similar operating conditions at turndown of
46% or greater. Customer understands that the sizing of the anti surge valve and fast stop valve are limited at
25% turndown based on volumes provided, but feel that at normal operating conditions which is 46% turndown
these valves will suffice.

Fast Stop Analysis

The following is a model of a PLC initiated fast stop shutdown of a compressor set. The model predicts the
pressures in the volumes on either side of the compressors and how these pressures compare to the compressors
surge limit. The model begins (time T0 ) when the fast stop is initiated. Simultaneously signals are sent to the fuel
valve to close, and to the anti-surge valve(s) to open. The model incrementally predicts the flow through the antisurge valve(s), the flows in and out the suction and discharge volumes, the flow through the compressor and the
effect of these flows on pressures in the volumes. For initial condition, the simulation assumes that the compressor
is operating at design head and 25% turndown with fully closed anti-surge valve.
System Volumes
The following volumes were used in the shutdown analysis, and are the maximum volumes that the valve(s), shown
below can handle to avoid surge during a fast stop shutdown.
Suction 1000000 ft3
Discharge
550
ft3

Table 2 - Suction and Discharge Systems Volume

Anti-Surge Valve
The table below shows the Cv used in the model. This is the minimum required Cv to keep the unit from surging
during a fast stop shutdown. This valve is also used for surge protection during normal operation, and therefore

Valve performance is based on Solars required opening time as a result of the solenoid being deactivated as
follows:
Anti Surge Valve: The valve must reach 63.2% open in
Fast Stop Valve: The valve must reach 63.2% open in

Deceleration Rate
The figure below illustrates the power turbine speed (NPT), which is also the compressor speed modeled
deceleration during the first two seconds of shutdown. During the first 0.3 seconds the power turbine decelerates
linearly with a deceleration rate of 5% speed per second. This is the amount of time it takes the flame to go out
once the fuel valve is commanded closed, and can vary between turbine models. After 0.3 seconds the power
turbine is expected to decrease speed by 30% in a second with a relationship inversely proportional to time.
Also shown in the figure is the anti-surge valve Cv(s) with respect to time as the valve opens.

Head and Flow vs Time

The graphs below illustrate how the actual head and flow compare to the head and flow at surge condition during
the first 2 seconds of a fast stop.
In order to keep the units out of surge:
1) The actual head must be lower than the head at surge.
2) The actual flow must be greater than the flow at surge.
