SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The acid cooling system removes the excess heat generated from the drying, absorption, and
gas cooling that takes place in the acid towers.
Each acid plant has a unique process
arrangement requiring that the acid coolers be designed to handle the specific heat duty
generated within the plant.
ACID COOLER
The Chemetics acid cooler, which transfers the excess heat from the acid to the cooling water,
is a stainless steel shell and tube heat exchanger with acid flowing through the shell space
being cooled by water flowing through the tubes.
Located within the shell of the cooler are the baffle plates, which support the tubes and divert
the acid around the tubes to promote heat transfer.
Acid Out
The Acid and Water Piping, which deliver acid and cooling medium to and from the cooler, are
an integral part of the acid cooling system.
All metallic surfaces in contact with acid within the cooler, i.e. the tubes, shell, tubesheets,
baffles, and acid nozzles are fabricated from stainless steel. Corrosion of these components is
controlled

2000 SYSTEM
The Anotrol 2000 system is comprised of a Remote Display Unit (RDU) plus a dedicated
Controller/Power Supply (C/PS) for each acid cooler or storage tank. A maximum of six
ReferenceElectrodesand up to twelve process inputs per C/PSmay be monitored.

The C/PS is the main functional unit of the Anotrol'" 2000 system as it contains both the
hardware to supply the power to the Cathode(s) and the microprocessor, which measures the
anodic potentials and adjusts the current output from the power supply to achieve and
maintain the passivefilm.
The C/PS is designed to accept either 115 or 230 VAC (field selectable) which is supplied to the
system at the terminal strip on the rear panel of the chassis. This AC power is supplied to the
Power Transformer via Fuse Fl and the internal stabilized Power Supply for the
microprocessors via FuseF2.
Before applying power to the Anotrol system, check to ensure that the line
voltage is correct, the power wiring at the terminal strip is in accordance with the
labels and that the main PC Board Voltage Selector Switch and Station Number
Selector are properly set.

Each
C/PS has it's own specific address within the system and can be configured to display
different values dependant on the set up of the acid cooler, storage tank or acid piping system
to which it is connected.
If it is necessary to change a CIPS Board for any reason, the configuration of the board must be
set to correspond to the address and service of the unit.
The Station Number of a C/PS can be changed by resetting the Station Number Selector Sl
located on the PC Board as follows:
First remove AC power to the C/PS.
Disconnect all plug-in connectors from the Controller PC Board Assembly.
Remove the two screws securing the Controller PC Board Assembly to the C/PS
rear panel and remove box from
C/PS.
Remove the six cover mounting screws and carefully lift the PC Board Assembly
from its support box to allow access to the Station Number Selector located in the
center of the board (see Fig. 3.1 at the end of this chapter).
Examine the position of the four dip switches on the Station Number Selector.
Reposition these switches of the new PC Board to correspond to the required
binary address for the Station Number assigned to the CjPS.
Confirm Voltage Selector Switch is set for correct AC power supplied.
Install new PC Board Assembly in C/PS and connect all plug-in connectors.

Operational Alarms
To alert the operator of a situation within the Anotrol" System, the system has a series of alarm
points programmed into the C/PS.
An alarm indicates to the operator that the anodic film is becoming unstable and that some
adjustment may be necessary. Most often, the adjustment required should be to the process
and not to the Anotrol" electronics.

When an alarm value is reached, an audible alarm within the ROU will sound to draw attention
to the situation.
Low Alarm
A Low Alarm indicates that the potential across the anodic film at the Acid Inlet region (Control
Potential) of the vessel has dropped to a level indicating lack or loss of the anodic film required
to control the corrosion within the vessel.
This condition will normally be encountered when the Anotrol" system is first activated at startup when there is no anodic film present and may also occur during major process changes
where the anodic film is being eroded away faster than it is being restored by the Anotrol"
system.
If a Low Alarm occurs, the CIPS will continue applying current to the vessel and the RDU will:

Anodic protection significantly increases the temperature limits for which stainless steel can be used
in acid service without the initiation of corrosion. Safe design limits have been established and should
not be exceeded during operation. The maximum operating temperature is a function of the acid
concentration. Lower acid concentrations correspond to lower maximum temperature limits. These
limiting temperatures are plotted against acid concentration, as shown in the following figure .

Accidental water dilution during shutdown caused by a valve being stuck in the open position.
Dilution of the circulating acid by moisture absorption during start up while the plant is being
dried out.
A tube failure will cause the cooling water to flow into the circulating acid if the water
pressure is more than the acid pressure (see section 4).
During a plant turnaround, acid may be drained from the cooler and the shell opened to
atmosphere. Sufficient moisture can be absorbed to ditute the acid remaining in the cooler to
extremely corrosive concentrations. The weak acid formed will accumulate at the low point of
the cooler. It is therefore essential, that the main and expansion joint drain valves remain
open during the period when the cooler is empty and that acid side openings be covered with
plastic to minimize moist air ingress.

The easiest method of monitoring water flow through the cooler(s) is by measurement of the
waterside pressure drop across the cooler. If the pressure drop is above the specified differential in
the operating summary, the water flow will be adequate providing there is no fouling or tube
blockage.

that pieces of debris and fibrous material may also be present. This material could lead to partial or
complete blockage of some tubes. If this should occur, the stagnant water In the tube will rise to the
temperature of the surrounding acid which would, in some cases, reach the boiling point. This
condition may result in stress corrosion cracking and ultimately tube failure.
It is therefore,
extremely Important that tube blockage be avoided.
Operating experience indicates that water treatment is usually required for cooling
tower systems.This need should be carefully assessedand implemented before start-up.
'''''I
..;:J
On all cooling systems, it is mandatory that adequate filtration be provided to prevent tube blockage.
This can be accomplished in a number of ways; basket type filters, rotating drum filters, etc. The
filtering systems must be designed to ensure that full water flow is present at all times. The mesh
size of any filter shall be less than the bore of the cooler tubes in this way, only small pieces of debris
will be present and will safely carry through the tubes.

If the cooling water is re-circulating (e.g. cooling tower), a pH control system is usually part of
the water treatment program. To ensure that the pH never drops below 6.0, it is advisable that a
pH alarm is set at 6.5, and in some cases, automatic neutralizing of the circuit can also be
activated. This is especially useful if acid gases from the plant are drawn into the cooling tower
water, thus forcing the pH down to serious levels.
For coolers having acid to water leak path (acid pressure higher than water pressure - the
preferred case), a pH monitor/alarm in the discharge water line of each cooler will provide timely
detection of a tube leak after which immediate stoppage of the plant can be accomplished, thus
restricting the amount of cooler damage to one leaking tube.
For closed loop (demineralized water) systems or boiler feed water applications, conductivity may
also be required to assure that good quality water is being used. Alarms can also be set to
automatically activate isolation and bypass valves at the cooler plus drain any acid contaminated
water out of the cooler. This will minimize damage to the cooler, plus any other equipment
downstream, should an acid-to-water leak develop.
Occasionally, the cooling water supply can become acidified for reasons external to the plant
(e.g. inadvertent dumping of acid into the water). The presence of acid in the cooling water could
initiate pitting in the tubes: If the pH of the inlet cooling water should drop, then it is mandatory
that the coolers be neutralized using a 5% caustic solution as soon as the water conditions have
returned to normal and the plant shut down. Chemetics should be notified of this occurrence (see
chapter 7 - Neutralizing Waterside of a Cooler after a Tube leak).

As a further check, use litmus paper to verify the reading from the sample pot(s) at least twice
per shift (samples should not be taken from the water channel drain or vent valves because a
leak could bypass these points). Similarly, litmus paper should always be used to ensure that a
low pH alarm is in fact valid and not an instrument malfunction.

Freeze Protection
It must be realized that a tube bore plugged with debris, rust, etc., will not be self-draining
during shutdowns. A tube filled with water will rupture upon freezing. It is imperative
therefore that all the tube bores be prevented from plugging or that they be prevented from
freezing. Steam injection in the waterside of the cooler can be used.

PARTICULAR OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
Energy Recovery Acid Coolers
Demineralized water must be used as the cooling medium, when the acid cooler forms part of an
energy recovery system. This type of cooler normally operates with a Closed Loop water circulating
system at elevated water temperatures resulting in high metal (tube wall) temperatures. The design
of an Energy Recovery cooler is optimized to make the best possible use of available cooling water to
promote efficient heat transfer. Some coolers may be designed to use smaller diameter tubes
because of the low water flow available.
t ..:
The very high Tube Wall Temperature associated with this type of cooler requires that chlorides
present in the water be controlled to minimal levels to prevent possible failure from stress corrosion
cracking of the tubes.
Water Quality
Demineralized water or condensate circulated in the closed loop system must be maintained at a
specification of less than 1 mg/litre (1 ppm) cr at a pH not lower than 6.5.
The initial charge of water must be analyzed to ensure that the maximum chloride content does
not exceed 1 mg/litre (1 ppm) cr.
The water should also be deaerated to minimize dissolved oxygen. Where carbon steel water
piping is used, an oxygen-scavenging agent should be added to the water loop to minimize the
scale formation.
Precaution must be taken to ensure that debris or additional chlorides do not enter the system.
The loop water should be checked for pH and chloride content regularly.

:~J
Brackish and seawater cooled acid coolers (i.e. coolers operating with greater than 1000 ppm
chlorides in the water) require an upgrade in the materials of construction on the waterside.
II
The high chlorides in this type of cooling media requires that all materials in contact with the water
be upgraded to withstand attack from the high chlorides, which would cause pitting and lead to early
failure of the cooler. Chemetics Seawater Cooled Acid Coolers are fabricated using aRAM~
austenitic stainless steel for the tubing, tubesheets, channel barrels, channel nozzles, and the liner on
the channel cover. CIRAM~
has an outstanding resistance to chloride pitting at elevated
temperatures and is highly resistant to hot sulphuric acid when anodically polarized (anodic
protection).
fijI
~
Seawater Filtration
It is imperative that blockage of the tubes in a seawater or brackish water cooler be prevented at all
times, as many of the problems associated with corrosion from high chlorides can be traced to
stagnant or low water flow conditions. It is therefore essential that a good water filter be installed to
ensure that any particles passing to the cooler will not become lodged in the tubes.
The incoming seawater should be screened through an 8-mm maximum dimension mesh filter.
Preferably, this should be a self-cleaning type of strainer but a simple basket type may also be used.
If the latter type is used, then two units should be provided in parallel with a suitable switchover
device, which is automatically activated by a differential pressure system. Chemetics recommends an
inline strainer, similar to that shown in Chapter 5 Fig. 5.3.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
U
Chemetics anodically protected acid coolers will provide many years of reliable and trouble free
service if the basic Operating and Maintenance Procedures are routinely followed.
The coolers are designed to withstand the normal variations in day-to-day plant operation without
the need for constant adjustments or maintenance.
However, there is a need for routine maintenance, which is normally performed during the main plant
turn-around. At this time, many clients enlist the assistance of a Chemetics Technical Service
Representative to ensure that these essential fundamental checks and necessary adjustments are
made.
The focus of the turnaround inspection is to detect any deterioration in the performance or change in
the physical condition of the cooler, including the anodic protection system, since the last inspection.
Determine possible causes for such a condition and to make the appropriate adjustments to correct
the situation.
There are 3 main areas which require inspection:

The shell of the acid cooler contains the sulphuric acid. Extreme precaution must be taken to ensure
that ALL AOD IS FULLYDRAINED prior to beginning any of these procedures.
The prime focus of an internal inspection of the shelf of an acid cooler is to verify that there is no
foreign materials which may cause blockage and/or restriction of the acid as it enters into the tube
bundle and to confirm the effectiveness of the anodic protection system in controlling corrosion from
the hot acid.
NOTE:
The small acid drain valve on the cooler expansion joint (if installed) may require
cleaning out to remove a sulphate blockage. Use complete acid suit protection when
1. Tap the side of the cooler with a large metal bolt or Similar, to hear if the vessel is empty.
2. By removing a reference electrode (slowly screwing the unit out and watching for signs of acid at
the threads as the tapered thread gets progressively loose), it is also possible to safely witness
whether a cooler is drained.
3. Drains that are piped into another line should be closed firmly after draining acid to avoid
accidental back filling.
4. Expansion joint drain should be disconnected from the drain line and left open.
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure safety when opening the cooler's acid side inspection
ports for observation and measurement.
Add Cooler
Operating & MaintenanceManual
Chapter 5 - 3
Routine Maintenance
Internal inspection of the shell of an acid cooler should, where possible, be delayed until the last few
days of the maintenance shutdown to minimise the time period when acid is drained from the cooler.
During periods when there is no acid in the cooler, if moist air is allowed to enter the shell, weak acid
will be produced in crevices between baffles and tubes etc., which can under extreme conditions lead
to localised corrosion in those areas.
[l'
1. Measure the 00 of the tubes and try to determine if there has been any metal loss since the last
inspection (corrosion/erosion damage).
2.
Look for any visual signs of corrosion and, if found, review the operational log sheets including
the Anotrol readings to see if anything historical can be found which may pinpoint the reason
for such damage.
3.
Look for any deposits or coatings on the external tube surface that may be a possible detriment
to heat transfer. A thin soft sulphate coating is normal unless the deposit has developed to the
point where blocking the flow area between the tubes and restricting acid flow.
Excessive
sulphates or a harder silica scale will require the vessel to be cleaned (see instructions in chapter
7) to restore full heat transfer ability. If this is the case, the waterside must also be cleaned to
ensure low tube wall temperatures.
4.
Observe tubes surface closely as clean surfaces may indicate corrosion. Investigate the Plant Log
and other recorded data to determine what may have caused the problem if corrosion is found
..
A thorough check of the anodic protection system will be made later.
5. Inspect the acid inlet region through the Inspection Openings on the shell of the cooler for
accumulation of debris from the tower or pump tank. If necessary, remove inlet acid piping and
remove debris by hand or clean mechanically by vacuum.
.
6. Remove reference electrodes for cleaning and inspection. See procedure later in this chapter for
inspection and cleaning procedures.
7. Remove main cathodes and pin cathodes (if present) for inspection and replacement as required,
as described later in this chapter.
8. If inspection or previous experiences indicate that the tubes may be severely corroded, nondestructive eddy current test of the entire tube bundle should be considered.
Before embarking on this procedure be sure to calibrate the test equipment with an identical piece
of tube material. Contact Chemetics to purchase a sample tube for testing purposes.

design of an inline strainer that can be blown down to clean while in use,
Within the first three months from the date of initial operation, it is strongly recommended to open
the small water side inspection plate (or remove the water channel cover) at the water inlet end of all
coolers to inspect for blocked tubes, then clean if necessary.
Fig. 5.4 shows a cooler with water channel cover

water treatment programme is loosely controlled,
serious tube fouling can develop, neceSSitating a
shutdown for cleaning.

There are several ways to determine whether a cooler is fouled:
1. The acid temperatures are progressively getting hotter, even with cold cooling water
temperatures and good water flow.
'
2. The acid bypass valve is being closed more and more to get extra cooling ability from the
cooler. Soon, the bypass valve is closed all the way and acid temperatures keep going up.
,,,,I
3. During an inspection, when looking down the bore of the tubes and observing a light at the
other end, no characteristic stainless steel shine is observed; a deposit is on the tubes.
4. When observing the water outlet end of the tubes, a filmy mineral deposit may be seen and
you can carefully scrape it off with a knife. In this event, take a sample and get it analysed.
It is probably calcium carbonate (hard water scale) deposits. If it is slimy, a biological
problem exists.
Hydroblasting of Tubes
When hard water scale or slime/mud are present, the
preferred method for cleaning is hydroblasting (see
chapter 7 for the recommended procedure).

ANODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM
r-'.
The Anotrol system as described lnChapter 3 generally requires very little maintenance. However,
since the life of the cooler is highly dependant on the effectiveness of the total anodic protection
system it is essential that the operation of the Anotrol be checked and the various control and alarm
points be verified.
The Reference Electrodes are one of the most
critical parts of the anodic protection system.
Each acid cooler will have a minimum of 2
electrodes, which, under normal operation will
require minimal attention.
During the
maintenance shutdown, all Electrodes should
be removed and inspected for physical damage
or contamination and either cleaned, adjusted
and reinstalled or replaced if deemed unfit for
further service.

Fig 5.6
Breakage of the platinum element must be avoided. Generally, breakage can only happen when
being mishandled. Avoid bending the green-coated platinum wire at sharp 900 angles or twisting
it when removing the electrical ConaXhousing.
Debris entering the acid inlet of the cooler can, in some instances, touch the reference electrode
tip and short out the reading. As these weak millivolt signals are critical to the operation of the
anodic protection system, many clients install a spare reference electrode at a second location,
usually at the acid inlet end. In this way, a quick swap of wires can be made during cooler
operation and without shutting down the plant.
If the reference electrodes are removed for cleaning, always loosen the packing gland nut and
move the platinum wire to ensure that it is not broken internally.

proper operation.
Chapter 3 of this manual describes the set-up procedures for the microprocessor controller board and

Field Wiring
The physical condition of the wiring that links all the anodic protection system components together is
very important. Rg. 5.8 shows a simplified basic electrical system with ROU, CIPS and its cooler. A
copy of the Anotrol System Wiring Diagram can be found in Appendlx A. Many acid plants have a
corrosive environment, which in time may degrade the physical condition of the field wiring. During the
normal major plant maintenance period, it is recommended that the entire Anotrol Wiring System be
fully inspected and tested to ensure trouble free operation.
Reid splices in Anode and Cathode wires should be thoroughly inspected for contact cleanliness and
insulation.
Particular attention should be taken of the condition of the cable trays or conduits and fittings to ensure
that all drain points are free and open. Damaged components should be repaired or replaced. All
wiring and flexible conduits immediately adjacent to the cooler should be carefully inspected to ensure
that sensitive instrument wiring is duly protected.

Most acid cooler system ship with a minimal set of electronic Start-up Spares, which are intended
to address minor upsets during commissioning of the acid coolers.

CHEMETICS
PERFORMANCE MONITORING
During normal operation, it is recommended that regular temperature and pressure surveys be
conducted to monitor the thermal performance of the cooler. These surveys are instrumental in
providing an early indication of the onset of formation of a fouling deposit that could limit the cooling
capabilities of the cooler or even lead to the onset of stress corrosion cracking or other potential
problems.
When a cooler is operating under design conditions, i.e. at design capacity with design cooling water
flow, a quick semi qualitative assessment can be made by checking the position of the acid by-pass
valve. If the by-pass valve is open, then the cooler still has additional cooling capacity indicating that
excess surface area is still available in the cooler.
However, if the by-pass valve is in the fully closed position when the plant is operating at design
capacity or the cooling water temperature is below the design maximum temperature, this could
indicate that the cooler has or is becoming fouled and that cleaning or other actions may be required
to restore design performance and reduce the risk of other potential problems.
For any performance evaluation to be meaningful, care must be exercised in the collection of the
operating data.
The calibration of ALL temperature and pressure gauges to be used in the plant survey should be
verified and adjustment made to the readings to compensate for slight differences.
0.5F/
0.3C.
Where possible, it is recommended to use a single pressure gauge to eliminate measurement errors.
Move the gauge from point to point, making note of height difference between measuring points.
(e.g. water in/out, acid in/out)
Gauges with a large scale range should be avoided, as this will reduce the accuracy of the readings.
Surveys performed using permanently installed instrumentation seldom prove to be worthwhile, as
the calibration of the instruments is always in question.

It is recommended that a survey only be taken after the plant rate has
stabilized for a minimum of 2 hours (where possible).
Acid and cooling water temperatures should be measured at the thermowell connections
provided on the respective cooler nozzles.
carefully remove thermowell shipping caps and fill the thermowells with light oil, glycerin
or other viscous fluid.

before taking readings.
Take one complete set of temperature and pressure readings and repeat after five

PURPOSE
By completing the following tasks prior to the inspection of the acid coolers, you will ensure
personnel safety plus cooler protection will be maintained:
1. When the acid temperature drops (below 122 of/50C
for
Pump acid out of non-self draining coolers (with Anotrol system off) just before opening for
inspection. Vertical coolers require the lower tubesheet drain to be opened to remove the acid
trapped above the tube sheet. Be sure these drain lines are not plugged with sulfate. Horizontal
coolers require expansion joint drain opened to remove the acid trapped inside. The small drain
line is sometimes plugged with sulfate.
6.
Disconnect the main and pin cathode wires at the cooler. Reference electrodes should not be
touched until the day of inspection as they can be physically damaged.
7.
Remove the water box covers, being careful not to bend cathode support pipe(s). The covers
should be moved well away from the water channel flange before lifting or lowering.
8.
Remove all but 2 bolts for the acid side inspection ports (located on shell side of cooler).
9.
If debris is found inside the pump tank or tower material is suspect to be lodged inside the
cooler, remove the section of pipe from the cooler acid inlet nozzle. Cover this opening with
heavy plastic to prevent moisture from entering the cooler. This should be done prior to
inspection, if possible.

I
.
In some cases it is desirable to circulate acid over the towers once a day. This is acceptable
for the Chemetics acid cooler provided strong acid is maintained at all times and the cooler
remains flooded when the acid pump is shut off. Obviously, it is imperative to do a strength
analysis on a regular basis and change out the acid if the strength gets down to 93%. Even
more desirable, a range of strength from 96
99% is less corrosive at ambient
temperatures and less likely to form pockets of weak acid corrosion.
fV
Should the Chemetics acid cooler be self-draining or become partially filled with acid when
the acid pumps are shut off, then blinds should be installed at both acid nozzles to keep the
moisture out. Even more desirable, proceed to section 2 below and neutralise the shell side
after the cooler is blinded and drained on the acid side.
WARNING:
If the Chemetics acid cooler is taken out of service for storage, shipping or repair, both acid
side and waterside must be neutralised to prevent weak acid formation and internal
corrosion. Please refer to the procedures C120-0 and C110-0. As explained in Cleaning
(Shell Side), water and/or moist air should never enter the shell side of the cooler,
otherwise weak acid corrosion can rapidly take place.
After neutralisation blinds may be removed to allow for inspection or repair. However, for
long-term protection use a vacuum pump to dry acid side thoroughly. The blinds should be
left in place c/w rubber gaskets. Under severe climatic conditions (e.g. shipping by sea),
both shell and tube side must have a nitrogen pad c/w pressure gauges fitted to witness
positive and effective internal pressure, ,....,5psig (35 kPa).

electrode (RE) readings will be more or less all right. The Control RE tries to reach the set point
(usually 100-300 mY) and the other monitoring RE reading(s) float around, changing with the
process. Some special applications may even use other monitor electrodes, R2 thru R5 and they
may be around Set Point 350 mV (this is normal).
"
e.)
I
~:
When process changes are extreme (especially at start up or following plant rate changes),
temperatures, flow rates and strengths of acid are unstable and make it difficult for the anodic film
to be established on the acid-wetted surfaces of the cooler. During these periods of change, it is
quite possible that alarms may occur, such as Low Alarm on Control or High Alarm on R1 (Monitor
A). A Low Alarm requires only acknowledgment by the Operator and will re-set itself when
conditions return to normal. However, when the acid outlet RE goes high on potential and causes
an anodic current trip-off, the anodic protection system will have to be re-started to resume
passivation, possibly later after conditions have become more favorable.
There are times when a continual High Alarm on R1 (Monitor A) or R2 thru RS, (if installed)
becomes a nuisance to the operator. If this happens more than a few times per day, adjustments
may be required as follows:

Single-Ended Style Of Main Cathode{s) With Pin Cathode At Opposite End To Main
Cathode Entry
If the Control (acid inlet) RE is located close to the Pin cathode (acid inlet nozzle), ensure that
power is coming to the Pin cathode. To lower Rl RE reading on the opposite end of the cooler,
more Pin cathode exposure is required at the inlet nozzle. This can be done during the next
shut down after acid has been drained. If inspection of the pin cathode proves that it has
corroded away, replace the road. If the rod is already fully pushed into the acid stream, then
there may be some other reason for the imbalance in RE readings. Check the inlet tube bundle,
......;
acid inlet nozzle, to see if debris has entered the cooler. Also, check to see if Control RE is in
contact with debris inside the cooler, thus shorting the platinum element signal.
,)
If the Rl (acid outlet) RE is located close to the Pin cathode (acid outlet nozzle), disconnect the
Pin cathode's power cable to render it powerless and this should lower the Rl RE reading close
to it. If this lowers the Rl reading too much, an adjustment of the Pin cathode rod exposure
will be required during the next shut down, following pumping out the acid from the cooler. By
shortening the rod exposure, the reading should decrease but not as much as by disconnecting
it entirely.

Acid Inlet (Center) Nozzle And One Or Two Pin Cathode(s) At The Acid Outlet Nozzle
Located At The Opposite End To The Main Cathode Entry
NOTE:
In this configuration, Monitor B (or R2) RE is a third electrode at the far end
from the Main cathode entry and Monitor A (Rl) RE is at the Main cathode entry
end. Control is in the acid inlet (middle) nozzle, as usual.
The Control (central acid inlet) RE will be located close to the primary Pin Cathode (acid inlet
nozzle) which is almost always required to balance out the 3 RE readings. Sometimes this Pin
Cathode becomes corroded and no longer delivers adequate voltage and current to the inlet
area, thus causing a defiCiency at the Control and High Alarms at either of Rl (Monitor A) or R2
(Monitor 8). Check that the power cable is also connected.
I
,
~J
Secondary Pin Cathodes (2) are usually located at the acid nozzle at the far end of the cooler
from where the Main cathodes enter. Both are usually required to keep the R2 (Monitor B) RE
reading up. If the reading is too high and alarms are occurring, disconnect one (or both) power
cables to lower the potential.
If the acid outlet RE reading (Rl or Monitor A) is too high and the High Alarm is occasionally
tripping, disconnect the power cable feeding the Main Cathode(s) on that end of the cooler.
This should result in an immediate reduction in reading.
Sometimes a Pin Cathode is also installed on these coolers. Try running without it hooked up
as it should rarely be required.
NOTE:
If the readings get worse following the use of the above mentioned procedures,
the Control and Rl (Monitor A) RE readings may be reversed. Check the field
wiring at the Controller/Power Supply (C/PS).

When a cooler is drained of acid, the reference electrodes will not emit millivolt signals and current
will not pass from cathode to anode (cooler). Both of these need to happen if the anodic protection
system is to be thoroughly tested out.

DC supply will be required with capability of from -400 mV to
+ 2 VDC.
2. To create a load on the power section to see if it will perform at 100% when needed, the
cathode wire needs to be securely shorted to the cooler (anode) using a c-damp, vice grips,
etc. Do this before powering up the CjPS.
3. Although reference electrodes will be giving no actual signals during this test, their cables may
need to be connected to provide a return ground source for the Controller. In older systems,
the signal ground wire performs this function.
4.
Connect the variable DC millivolt source to the terminal strip connections for the Control, Rl
(Monitor A), cathode Voltage (Monitor B), and any other R-values that you want to be tested.
Set the value at +300 mV and if a display of the readings is not present, attach a separate
millivolt meter to see what the readlnqsare,
6. The Remote Display Unit (RDU) should be powered up and proper channel selected to see what
readings are being displayed. For a 300 mV input, the Control, Rl and R2 thru RS (if being
tested) will all read 300 mV 2 mV. The cathode Voltage should read 0.3 volts.
7.
Start the CIPS (press Reset & Set) from the RDU or depress the AGlMON
to turn the green LED on.
8. Decrease the 300 mV input to 200 mV (l.e. below the Control Set Point) and wait to see if
Cathode amps start to be introduced to the cooler. This may take up to 60 seconds to begin.
9. If the Band is 100 mV wide, then a control input of 100 mV below set point should yield 100 %
CjPS cathode Current (either 60 or 100 amps, depending on Dip Switch #7 setting).
10. Further adjust Control input up & down to test all alarm set points.

PURPOSE
This procedure is provided to detail the steps necessary to remove the channel cover(s) from an
acid cooler to guard against damaging the Cathode Pipe(s) which extend from the tubesheet
through the cover and isolate the main cathode(s) from the cooling water.
Figure 7.1 shows a cooler with 2 main cathodes and the
channel cover removed.
Figure 7.2 is a sketch showing the components, which make
up the seal between the cooling water and the outside of the
cooler. These components are referenced in the procedure
and should be retained for reinstallation.

CAUTION:
The following procedure assumes that the cathode removal end is known. If it is in
question, refer to "Questionable Cathode Removal End" located at the end of this
procedure.
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Before work is to begin on the cooler, ensure it has been drained of acid and water and that all
valves are closed and locked out. Turn Anotrol power off and lock out fuse boxes / breakers to
Controller/Power Supply (C/PS).
2. From the cathode removal end (see Setting Plan of cooler listed in the Drawing Section at the
end of this manual), disconnect the cathode wire from the connector (PIN 101-4) by loosening
the Set Screw (PIN 101-3). Remove Connector (PiN 101-4) and Lock Nut (PIN 101-1).
3. Remove the Inner Gland (PIN 201), clean and inspect thread condition and Gland Sleeve (P/N
206) for damage. Set aside.
4. Using a stick packing removal tool, (4-6/i long, flat screwdriver is suitable), remove and clean
stuffing box of all stick packing and discard old packing.
5.
From opposite end of cooler, repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 if full inspection is desired. However, the
option to leave this end packed is available provided the stick packing is in good condition
(remove gland nut only in this case, steps 2 & 3). Complete step 4 only if the packing is black
and saturated with acid.
6.
From cathode removal end, re-install Nut and Connector (PIN's 101-1 I 101-4), locking the
connector to the rod with the nut. Use a steel rod or screwdriver inserted into the connector's
hole and pull Main cathode Assembly (rod & sheath) from its support pipe. With the assistance

from two other people wearing rubber gloves, pull the cathode assembly completely out of the
cooler and rest it on support stands. Nut and connector may now be removed.
7. If cathode sheath is in clean condition and holes are free of fouling, refer to item 8 below. If
holes are fouled, they can be cleaned by high-pressure steam/water. Be sure to wear protective
clothing.
8. If notches are located on the sheath (inlet and outlet positions), use the 111 micrometer to
measure the cathode rod diameter through these notches. If no notches are found, use a
sharp knife to make them by carefully cutting away a small piece of sheath between two holes,
lengthwise along a single row. If 00 measurement is less than 0.400 inches (10 millimeters),
the rod should be replaced. Be sure to inspect the rod along its entire length for evidence of
corrosion or breakage.
9.
If sheath condition is good and it can be removed from the corroded cathode rod, it can be
installed on a new rod that was designed for this cooler.
10. Once the cathode has been deemed to be in good condition or replacement has been decided,
the assembly is ready for re-installation.
11. From the opposlte end of the cooler and only if item 4 was done, use a wire with a hook on the
end and remove the flat washer, bushing and cathode sleeve for examination.
12. Ensuring that the inner gland threads are clean and with the help of two other persons, slide
the assembly into the cathode support pipe and through the many baffle clearance holes inside
the cooler, until the inner Bushing (P/N 209-2) bottoms out inside the stuffing box.
13. Insert Flat Washer (P/N 207) over cathode rod (threaded end), and push into stuffing box flush
with Bushing (PIN 209). The flat washer has a slight taper to it; install with the widest side
facing you.
14. Insert six to seven pieces of Stick Packing (P/N 208 (see NOTE below) into stuffing box and
tighten packing gland nut. This may take two steps by inserting three or four pieces, installing
packing gland and compressing packing, then remove packing gland, insert remaining stick
packing and re-tighten gland nut.

Thoroughly wash the entire length of cathode assembly with water using a spray hose.
Remove the flat washer and bushing from the sheath (use acid resistant gloves for personal
protection from any remaining acid).
Re-attach the connector and lock nut to the cathode rod, insert a screwdriver through the hole
of the connector and arrange three other people (wearing rubber gloves) to grasp the Teflon
sheath at the two ends and middle while you pull on the rod.
With a twisting action, pull on the screwdriver while the three assistants keep the sheath
stationary.
After separating the sheath from the rod, wash the sheath again, check its entire length for
defects and if satisfactory, insert a new rod that was specifically made for this cooler/cathode
assembly.
Remove the electrical connector and lock nut from the old rod and set aside.
Re-install the bushing and washer with the tapered ends facing inwards in this manner [><].
If the bushing is removed and it is found that the PTFE threads of the sheath are restricting the
removal of the large part of the rod, a small amount of thread should be cut off to expose the
large part of the cathode rod.
If the sheath has sulfated itself to the rod, use of some special vice grips (mechanical pliers
with angle iron welded to the tips, allowing for gripping of sheath over an extended length) is
required to hold the sheath at several places while the rod is Simultaneously twisted and pulled
out.
If the sheath is sulfated over the entire length, then up to 6 persons with special vice grips
(mentioned above) will be needed to hold the sheath firmly while twisting and pulling the rod.

When twisting the rod inside the sheath, be careful that the sheath is
not being damaged from the vice grips or that it is not wrapping
around the rod and breaking.
Severe sulphating can be "melted or softened" by using a long pipe (like the original shipping
container) and a steam hose. Insert the cathode assembly into the pipe and steam it for 5
minutes; then remove it and again try the procedure above.
If a rod has broken inside the sheath (single ended style of cathode), remove the small stainless

Deterioration of the main cathode rod is expected to occur over a period of time. Factors such as
acid temperature, velocity, strength, and contamination as weI! as cathode material of construction
all enter into the equation of life expectancy of this sacrificial element.
Generally speaking, a cathode operating in acid strengths of 93",96% range and temperatures of
up to 160F (70C) will last many more years than one in 98.5% acid (or some oleum strengths)
and/or higher temperatures of 200F (90C) or more.
The PTFE sheath is an important component in the main cathode assembly. Its function is to keep
the cathode rod insulated from the anode (cooler) wherever it passes through the hole in each
baffle inside the cooler. Furthermore, the sheath is perforated with holes between each baffle to
allow the acid to touch the rod and to conduct electricity between cathode and anode. The undrilled full insulation sections of sheath are required wherever there are baffles inside the cooler.
Since baffle spacing varies from cooler to cooler, each cathode is made specifically for its cooler and
is not normally interchangeable with other coolers. For this reason, spare main cathode assemblies
are required to be kept on hand for each working cathode in each cooler.
(201, 206)

The sheath is re-usable provided the PTFE(Teflon@) is not wearing at the baffles or broken. Should

2. However, the sheath may become broken inside the cooler and hang up so as to prevent its
removal.
3. If there is only one break on the sheath (l.e, 2 pieces of cathode, only), then they may be
removed by pulling the individual pieces in their respective directions (i.e. from either end of
the cooler).
4. If there are more than 2 pieces to remove, remove the end pieces then shine a strong beam of
light inside the cathode support pipes from either end to determine which end to push the
piece(s) out.
S. Passing a second, new cathode rod into one end may edge out the one or more piece(s) in the
middle.
6. In the event that a piece of sheath (Teflon'") only remains inside, a small hook wire on the end
of the new cathode rod may allow for connecting and extraction.
7. Failing that, a long rod with a drill bit attached to the end will be required to break up the
Teflon sheath into small pieces to clear a way for the new cathode assembly.

Many chemical cleaning solutions can damage stainless steel. Their use, in
general, is not recommended. Chemetics should be contacted prior to
introducing any chemical solution into a cooler other than those specified in
this procedure.
The high water velocity maintained through the tubes keeps scale and sludge formation to a
minimum. However, when the tube bores require cleaning, hydroblasting with potable water is
recommended.
Fig. 7.6
The easiest and surest method to prevent the "forgetting" of the tubes requires the "moving along"
of markers such as two welding rods. One rod is temporarily inserted into the last row of tubes
already cleaned and the other rod into the tube bore of the last tube that has "just been"
hydroblasted.
If the substance coating the tube bores is difficult to remove, it is recommended that the jet be
passed twice through these tubes and/or cleaning pressure be increased to 10,000-20,000 psig
(670 1,335 bar). If hydroblasting proves inadequate, mechanical turbining is required (using nylon
N
or copper brush to avoid scratching the tube bores). Never use a stainless steel brush as this will
scratch the tube walls and set up the possibility of crevice corrosion thereafter.

For carbon steel water channels and covers, a norust condition or a thin layer of rust indicates that
the water treatment
is effectively preventing
corrosion.
In this case, cleaning of the water
channel wall and cover is not necessary, If; on
the contrary, there is a large layer of rust or large
rust tubercles on the wall and cover of the water
channel; then this rust should be removed in
order to prevent blockage of tubes resulting from
the eventual loosening up of the layer of rust. In
these cases the water treatment program should
be improved. Fig. 7.7 shows a typical acid cooler

On the shell side of the cooler, the flow of sulphuric acid normally results in negligible fouling. In
instances where a form of silica/organic fouling occurs, the following procedure has been effective
in removing this deposit:
CAUTION:
Do not introduce water, even for flushing out the remaining acid in the cooler prior to the
introduction of the cleaning solution. Water and acid form a weak acid solution that is corrosive
and potentially dangerous to the stainless steel cooler.
The shell side of the cooler must pass directly from the specified circulating H2S04 strength
condition to a strongly basic condition obtained by Circulating a 20% wt. soda ash solution.
Similarly after cleaning, the shell side must remain basic until the Circulating acid is reintroduced into the cooler at/or above the specified strength.

When possible, the water side should be cleaned first in order to prevent the water fouling layer
being hardened onto the tube bores by the heat of the alkaline cleaning solution (not normally

PROCEDURE
1.
Ensure that all acid has been drained from the Cooter, including the acid trapped in the
expansion joint (horizontal coolers) or lower tube sheet (vertical coolers). Be aware that these
small drains may be plugged with debris or sulphates and require rodding out.
CAUTION: Use complete acid suit protection when cleaning these drains.
2.
In many Cooler installations, blanking of the acid nozzles is not necessary. It is mandatory
however to ensure that the cleaning solution does not rise into the acid lines to the point where
it would overflow into the pump tank or another Acid Cooler. This can be prevented by
temporarily positioning a "stack" on one of the 511 flange connections. The top of this stack
should be well below the invert of the lowest acid line leading into or away from the Acid
Cooler.
NOTE: Orculation of the cleaning solution should be achieved without overflow through this "stack".
3. The use of the "overflow stack" provides the safety required and reduces the time needed to
clean the Coolers by eliminating the necessity for blinding nozzles.
4. Connect the hoses to the 1~1/2", 150 lb. FF chemical cleaning flanges 511 on the Cooler.
Return one hose to the pump tank (this should be the hose from the top nozzle when the acid
nozzles are on opposite sides of the Cooler) and connect the other hose to the pump.
AKER K.VA:RNER~
Page 3 of 3
6. Use the pump to fill the cooler with the mixed solution.
7. Fill the cooler rapidly and circulate promptly. Ensure that the mixture does not back up into the
acid lines or pump tank; the mixture should not overflow at the "stack" installed on the 511
connection.
I
I
8. Continue steam sparging to heat the circulating mixture up to 160F (IV 70C). Circulation of the
hot solution should be maintained for a minimum of two hours (four hours is preferable).
9.
Drain the cooler thoroughly, including the expansion joint (Horizontal Coolers) or lower
tubesheet (Vertical Coolers).
The silica/organic coating and/or sulphate build-up should be completely removed or "loose"
enough to be flushed out by the force of the acid flow upon start-up of the acid pump. A rustcoloured coating is normal and represents no problem when acid is re-introduced.
IF THE COOLERS ARE NOT BEING IMMEDIATELY FILLED AND CIRCULATED WITH
STRONG H2S04, THEN BLINDS MUST BE INSERTED TO AVOID WEAK ACID
ENTERING FROM THE ACID PIPING.

1. Crean and inspect the bore of the tubes as described in the procedure for cleaning (waterside),
thus ensuring the neutralising solution enters into the bore of all the tubes. If tube(s) were
leaking, perform the Tube Plugging Procedure before continuing with the neutralisation of the
cooler tubes. Re-install the water channel covers.
".
2. In many cooler installations, the blanking of the water nozzles is not necessary. In cases
where the neutralising solution might rise into the water lines to the point of overflowing into
adjacent
equipment; it is recommended to use an "overflow stack" (Fig. 7.8).
3. Connect the hoses to the connections shown. Return one hose to the chemical cleaning tank
(this should be the hose from the highest water nozzle when the nozzles are on opposite sides
of the cooler) and connect the other hose to the pump.
4. Mix the 2%

As explained in Cleaning (Shell Side), water should never enter the shell side of the cooler,
otherwise weak acid corrosion can rapidly take place. Review that procedure before proceeding

case #1:
When making a tube-to-tube sheet weld or a plug-to-tube sheet weld repair, the heated
area during the welding process tends to draw acid moisture into the weld puddle, thus
contaminating the weld. To avoid this problem, the acid side should be neutralized first.
(see instructions earlier in this chapter).
case #2:
If water entry into the shell side has occurred as a result of a tube leak or during a
period when the plant is down for repairs and water or weak acid entered the vessel,
then this acidified water should be drained immediately and if possible strong acid
should be Circulated immediately through the cooler. If strong acid cannot be circulated,
the cooler should be neutralised using the Cleaning (Shell Side) procedure described
earlier in this chapter, with the following modification:

The stored data is used by the RDU to display trends on the screen when this feature is selected.
The stored data can also be output to a DCS using the MODBUS interface programme, which
runs
on the RDU, but independently of the RDU control programme.
Each C/PS connected to the RDU will be viewed by MODBUS as one of up to twelve devices each
having a distinct address [0 through 11].
The MODBUS programme can be installed either via one of the USB ports or by a serial
communication link to another computer.
Communication between the DCS and RDU should be verified before the RDU releases any data.

During turnaround inspection of cooler(s), it is recommended that the tube bundle be inspected for
fouling, debris, blockage, and corrosion. For your reference, new tube sizes are shown below for
various duties of coolers (check your Cooler Rating Sheet):
1. For 3/4" 00 (19.05 mm), 16 AWG (most common tube size), minimum tube wall thickness
0.060" (1.524 mm), typical tube wall thickness = 0.065" (1.651 mm).
2. For 3/4" 00 (19.05 mm), 18 AWG (i.e. seawater coolers using Ciramet" tubes), minimum tube
wall thickness
= 0.049" (1.2446
mm).
3. For 1/2" 00 (12.7 mm), 16 AWG (l.e. energy recovery coolers: closed loop heaters, boiler feed
water heaters, etc.), minimum tube wall thickness = 0.060" (1.524 mm).
4. For 5/8" 00 (15.875 mm), 16 AWG (special application coolers), minimum tube wall thickness
= 0.060" (1.524 mm).
Tube losses of 30-50% are unusual and extreme and probably mean that the cooler requires retubing or replacement. Some tube failures may already have occurred. Please contact Chemetics
Equipment for a quotation.

Normally, all coolers have two inspection ports installed on the shell side of the cooler. Some
smaller coolers may only have one inspection port, usually located at the acid inlet end of the
cooler (see the Cooler Setting Plan, listed in Appendix A of this manual).
3. carefully remove the inspection part flange bolts and lift off the blind flange on 57 or 58,
exposing the tube bundle.
4. Use a thickness slip-on gauge or Vernier caliper to determine the outside diameter of one or
more tubes. Record the reading of each tube.
CAUTION:
AKER kVJERNER~
CHEMETICS

6. Compare these measurements with those from the last inspection (if available), or the new tube
size, to determine the amount of tube loss (if any).
7. With a flashlight, inspect to see if debris can be seen lodged within the tube bundle and remove
the material if possible. If a significant amount of debris is found, it may be necessary to
remove the section of pipe at the inlet nozzle in order to clean debris from the tube bundle (see
procedure in this chapter).
OTHER OBSERVATIONS TO BE RECORDED DURING THE TUBE SIDE INSPECTION
1. Cleanliness of the tube surface, e.g. sulfates, silicates, organic/ etc.
2. Evidence of any localized corrosion on tubes or baffle, e.g. pitting, crevices / tube corrosion at
the baffle etc.
3.
Evidence of any tower ceramic packing, pump tank brick, Teflorr" gasket material, stainless
steel pieces etc.
NOTE:
If the acid inlet or outlet piping is being removed for any reason, this will provide an
alternate area for inspection of the tube bundle. Take care that external water does
not enter a non-neutralized acid cooler (cover openings with plastic to prevent moist
air or water from entering).

Procedure
Page 2 of 5 I
A minor leak is simple to repair. However{ if the plant and cooling equipment are
not shut down quickly and properly (see cnapter 4), a minor leak will lead to more
extensive damage.
The following procedures are recommended after the plant has been shut down and water drained
from the coolers, but prior to stopping the acid circulation.
LEAK DETECTION
1. After stopping acid flow, remove both Channel Covers, taking care not to bend the Cathode
Support Pipe(s).
2. Identify the leaking tube(s) by circulating acid. Record the leaking tube(s) on the tube sheet
layout (see cooler drawings at the end of this Manual).
Proceed with plugging the leaking
tube(s) (see procedure below). On horizontal coolers, start at the top leak and work down to
the next one, stopping acid circulation and draining acid prior to plugging.
3. If it is impossible to determine where the leaking tube is located by the acid circulation method,
the cooler must be drained of acid; blinds installed at the inlet and outlet acid nozzles, and air
pressure injected up to 45 psig (3 bar) (see procedure in this Chapter). Ensure that this is
accomplished with safety equipment installed, l.e. pressure relief valves set at 3.5 barg
maximum. By using rubber stoppers at one tube sheet (or wet newspaper covering all the
tubes), a soapy solution may be applied at the other tube sheet to witness air bubbles escaping.
Even after plugging tubes (see Leak Repair following), this liquid soap, air pressure method of
leak detection is very good and ensures that the plugs are also leak-free.
LEAK REPAIR
1. The procedures that follow are given as guidelines only.
2. The Expandable Tube Plug was developed to minimise the amount of welding that would be
required when using tapered plugs. Refer to specific expandable tube plugging instructions on
the pages that follow.

CHEMETICS
Special Maintenance
Procedure
Page 3 of 5
2. Prior to commencing the plugging, drain the cooler of acid, wash the area clean of acid and
then air blow dry. If the leak continues to seep acid from inside the tube bore, plug the bore
with a rubber plug, pushing it inside the tube bore about 2/1 (5 cm).
3. The area of the tube and tubesheet to be affected by the repair weld puddle must be undercut
approximately 0.02" (1/2 mm) in depth (down to new metal) with a steel cutting tool (such as a
Rico Solid Carbide Burr, 1/4" shank 2" GAL, STYLE R-29, R-30 or R-31). Grinding is not
recommended because it contaminates the new metal with residue from the previously ground
surface. The plug and tubesheet area must then be washed with a degreasing agent (alcohol,
acetone, etc.).
I
.
4. The plug can now be inserted and llG welded using the following filler metals: (i) INCa ER316l for 316l tubes used on fresh water Coolers; (ii) ER-625L or ER-686L on Ciramet Tubes
used for brackish or sea water cooling; and (iii) ER-625L or higher alloy material for Alloy 20
tubes (see Chapter 2, Cooler Specification Sheet for tube material specification or refer to
Chapter 5 and contact Chemetics for advice).
S. The weld area must be penetrant dye checked (see recommended procedure enclosed).
Remove any porous or cracked welds, re-weld and dye check again (if required).
I
I
6. Following pressure testing the vessel for the last time (see this Chapter), neutralise the tube
side of the cooler to stop any further pitting that may have been initiated by acidified chloride
containing water.
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
PART OF THE REPAIR
PROCEDURE.
7. Proceed to Chapter 4 and restart the plant, paying particular attention to the pH of the acid
cooler's discharged cooling water.
NOTE:
If there is some doubt about a specific part of this repair procedure, please
contact Chemetics Equipment immediately for clarification.

5. Using the Small Diameter Shaft, Drift Punch and Air Hammer (mentioned above) drive the drift
all the way into the bore of the plug. Ensure that the Small Shaft Drift Punch is kept straight
while driving the drift home. Now fill the drift hole with silicone seal.
6. Plug the other end of the failed tube using procedures 1 - 5 above.
7. Pressure test the vessel again to verify that there is no more leaking tubes or plugs.
I
I
NOTE:
This is a very important step in the leak repair procedure! Make sure there are
no leaks.
8. If the plug should leak when the vessel is air tested, welding the plug to the tubesheet must be
done (refer to the previous section for the welding procedure). In the cleaning of the area
around the plug may be difficult due to the presence of the silicone. According to GE, a suitable
cleaner for their silicone is xylene, paint thinner or mineral spirits. However, once the silicone
has set (about 1/2 hour), cleaning may be greatly impaired.

For detecting medium to large leaks prior to repairs, simply circulate acid to identify a leaking tube
(see Tube Plugging Procedure, this chapter). However, when very small leaks are suspect or you
want to make sure that a tube to tube sheet weld repair has been successful, the air pressure leak
test is far superior over the circulation of acid.
Time consuming due to the need to insert blinds at the acid nozzles
Potentially very dangerous if proper precautions are not taken
For those not wanting to use this method for leak detection, the following should be
noted:
Should a small leak not be detected and the cooler is put prematurely back into service, there
will inevitably be another costly shut down.
A slow leak may cause more severe damage and possibly additional good tubes will become
damaged.
Due to the fact that compressed air is being used, Chemetics accepts no liabilities
with the use of this procedure. The end-user uses this procedure at their own risk
and agrees to continue only after review of their in-house Plant Safety Regulations.

4. Introduce up to 1 bar dry instrument air pressure and hold.
5. Mix some liquid dish detergent (soap) in a clean pail of water.
6. Cover one tube sheet with wet newspaper/soap solution using a clean/wide paintbrush and the

7. Now "paint" soap bubbles over the tube holes at the other end of the cooler to witness the
presence of any air leaks.

rates:
1. Measure the background Fe++ content in the Circulating acid. An additional 25 ppm of iron is
required to do a forced passivation at the cooler's design operating conditions.
I
I
2. Calculate how much Ferrous Sulfate Heptahydrate is required to maintain this additional 25 ppm
of iron in the acid for the estimated acid production rate over a 4 to 5 day period.
3. Begin adding small quantities directiy into the pump tank every hour or slowly meter it into the
acid circuit as an aqueous solution as follows:
Add water to a 1000 litre (250 USG) Polymer Tank or suitable container and heat it by steam
sparging to about 50C (120 OF),then add (with agitation) up to 660 kg (1450 Ibs) of Ferrous
Sulfate Heptahydrate.
Using a chemical feed pump, slowly add this solution into the acid circuit, possibly through the
dilution water line of the pump tank or directly into the pump tank.
4. Test the acid Fe++ content every 4 hours until the correct feed rate of solution has been
established. If background Fe++ content was 5 ppm, then you should have a minimum of 30
ppm Fe++in the acid to achieve complete passivation. Over-addition of Fe++does not harm the
system or the forced-passivation process.
5. Observe the increase in anodic current supplied by the Anotrol@ system of each cooler; it should
first peak and then gradually diminish after a few days, even though the iron content in the acid
remains high.
6. Consult Chemetics for advice as to when the iron addition (passivation) is complete.
7. Under normal Circumstances, the passivation film will last for a long time provided that there
are no serious upsets in the plant operating conditions, e.g. weak acid excursions, high acid
temperatures, no or reduced water flow. If the film should become destroyed, however, this
will again result in an increase in amperage, giving a clear indication that corrosion rates have
increased and that the cooler requires re-passivation with ferrous sulfate again.
