following and any other matter or thing necessary to bring the CONTRACT to
COMPLETION in accordance with requirements as specified in this CONTRACT. The
existing radioactive level measurement/alarm systems shall be replaced partly with a
state-of-art radioactive level measurement system. The various components, which
require refurbishment, replacement and/or services as a part of this CONTRACT are
described in following sections:

7.1

Type of measurement
The existing radioactive level measurement and alarm systems shall be replaced with
latest state-of-art measurement system. The new system shall be capable of
measuring levels of solid catalyst in cylindrical metal vessels of different diameters and
wall thicknesses with radioactive source and scintillation type detection system.

Appendix A
Page 7 of 17

In case of continuous level measurement system (Level Transmitter), the output of

detector shall be linear and proportional to the level of solids over a range of
measurement. In case of discrete level switching system (Level Switch), the output of
detector shall de-energize a relay at desired catalyst level.

7.2

Radioactive Source & Container

The existing system have been exposed to ambient conditions for more than 15 years
and hence the integrity of radioactive source capsule and container shall be verified by
the CONTRACTOR during SITE SURVEY and shall recommend replacement.
Radioactive source containers supplied as a part of this CONTRACT shall have an inbuilt shutter lock mechanism, which can be operated by a key. When the source
container is loaded with a radioactive source capsule of maximum activity for which it
has been designed and with the shutter or source control mechanism in the beam off
position, the radiation levels shall not result in an ambient dose equivalent rate or
directional dose equivalent rate, as appropriate, exceeding 1.7 Sv/h at any
accessible location on the gauge surface.
If the primary shielding material of radioactive source has a melting point of less than
800 Deg C then the system shall be designed in such a way that the radioactive
source container is entirely sealed within a durable metal vessel that has a melting
point of more than 800 Deg C; and maintain the required effectiveness of the primary
shield, if the shielding material is in a molten state.
Each source container shall be durably marked with a legibly stamped or engraved
label with the following information:
i) manufacturer name, model and serial number of the radioactive source and/or
container;
ii) name and address of the source supplier and/or manufacturer;
iii) name of the radioactive material;
iv) model and serial number of the radioactive source;
v) ISO class number of the radioactive source;
vi) original activity of the radioactive source and date the activity was measured;
vii) maximum radiation dose rate at one metre from the surface of the source
container (with all shutters closed) and date of this measurement.
CONTRACTOR shall perform radiation leakage tests for new source containers at
WORKSITE in the presence of Radiation Protection Officer (RPO) of QP Refinery. If
radiation leakage exceeds the recommended limit at any time within 12 months from
the date of Site Acceptance Test (SAT) then CONTRACTOR shall repair or replace
source container at free of cost.

Appendix A
Page 8 of 17

CONTRACTOR shall assess remaining life of radioactive sources and shall

recommend replacement, if the remaining life is less than 10 years. The size and

CONTRACTOR shall submit detailed source sizing calculation with estimated life of all
sources along with bid.
The OEM of new radioactive source capsules shall provide source certificates and

All level switches are required to be operated when the level reaches switching point.
The detector and its electronics unit shall be capable of sending a signal to the
Catalyst Regeneration Control System (CRCS) to initiate defined action. In case of low
level switch, the normal level of catalyst is above radiation beam. In case of high level
switch, the normal level of catalyst is below radiation beam. During normal operation,
removal or addition of catalyst is continuous.
Detector electronics shall drive an output relay at designed switching point, which shall
change a SPDT or DPDT contact. CONTRACTOR shall furnish contact ratings of this
relay. The relay shall be de-energized when the solids are below the radiation beam
(Low level fail-safe). Fail-safe action implies that the design of the unit maximises the
probability that the unit will fail in the position specified. Details of existing level switch
wiring is shown in Attachment-IIA & Attachment-IIB of this Appendix A.
.
Set point drift caused by electrical and ambient variations shall not exceed 10 % of
designed field strength or count rate.
The response time specified in the document applies only to the direction of emptying
as indicated for each item. Response time in opposite direction is not critical to the
process and may be adjusted as necessary to optimize the primary response. The
response time specified shall include any time required for recovery of electronics from
the effects of high field strengths on the detector.
CONTRACTOR shall replace all radioactive detectors with latest type of scintillation
counter type detectors for all switching applications. This type of detector will
considerably reduce source size, source activity and increase accuracy of switching
point.
CONTRACTOR shall offer industrially proven type of scintillation detector.
