Dryer DHRD6000
3.1Technical data
The heat of compression desiccant air dryer (DHRD6000) is a hot regenerated dryer, which takes
advantage of the hot air coming from the compressor to regenerate the adsorbing material. The air for the
adsorption phase needs to be cooled. To this aim, the skid is equipped with a cooler followed by a separator
for condensate elimination.
For a detailed description of the dryer operating principle, see Section 4. In the following, the technical features
of the skid components are illustrated.
The skid is essentially constituted by:

➢ skid baseplate;
➢ dryer DHRD6000;
➢ condensate separator;
➢ valves;
➢ instruments

3.1.3 Cooler and condensate separator

The skid is equipped with the cooler AC001 to cool the air prior to be delivered to the adsorption tower.
The cooler is of surface type, namely the working fluids do not enter into contact during the heat transfer, but
they are separated by a heat transfer surface, which plays an active role. Particularly, it is a shell and tube
exchanger, meaning that it consists of a tube bundle (series of n. 349 parallel tubes with diameter of 10 mm)
enclosed by a shell. The fluid that must be cooled flows into the tube bundle, while the cooling fluid runs into
the shell, around the outside surfaces of the tubes, so that it can absorb the required heat. Furthermore, the
exchanger is of countercurrent type namely, the fluids flow in opposite directions, improving the cooling
efficiency.
The cooler main components are:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
• shell;
• tube bundle;
• tube sheets;
• baffles.
The shell has a circular cross section with an external diameter of 323.8 mm and thickness of 9.53 mm. Its
overall longitudinal dimension is 1697 mm.
The tube layout pattern is triangular (30°) and the tube pitch (center-center distance of adjoining tubes) is
equal to 13 mm (minimum tube pitch of 1.25 times the tube outside diameter (O.D.)).
The tube bundles are secured at the inlet and outlet sides to the tube sheets.
Single segmental baffles are used to support the tubes and to enable a desirable velocity to be maintained
for the shell side fluid. They are responsible for obstructing and redirecting the flow of fluid in the shell side. In
fact, they direct the air through the shell so that it does not take a short cut through the shell side leaving
ineffective low air volumes. The baffles are fixed to the tube bundle (at 235 mm each other, except the lateral
ones which are 395 mm far-between) in order that the bundle is removable for maintenance. Furthermore, the
baffles are normal to the shell wall and force the steam to flow at right angles to the axis of the tubes. The
increased turbulence results in greater heat transfer. Moreover, the baffles help in keeping the tubes from
sagging and increase the strength of the tubes by preventing their failure by flow-induced vibration.
Downstream the cooler there is a condensate separator SEP001 where the condensate is separated from
the air stream.
The separator is designed taking advantage of the coalescing phenomena. The separator vessel includes a
demister to enhance the removal of liquid droplets entrained in vapor stream. This device assists the separator
vessel by increasing the gas liquid separation efficiency. In fact, an empty drum relies on high residence time
for separating liquid from vapor and requires high size. By using a demister pad, the degree of separation can
be achieved using smaller vessel dimension.
The separator is installed horizontally. The vessel has a cylindrical shape with an external diameter of 323.8
mm, thickness of 7.14 mm and a head at the opposite side with respect to the inlet flanged connection. The
demister is 150 mm long and it has a diameter of 303 mm, so that it intercepts all the inlet air. A stainless-steel
thread constitutes the wire mesh de-misting pad.
The accumulated condensate is removed through an automatic draining system.
The main features of the cooler and condensate separator are:
• design and reference codes are EN13445 and PED 2014/68/UE;
• main construction materials:
o shell: SA106 Gr.B;
o pipes: SA106 Gr.B;

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
4 OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The operating principles of the heatless dryer are illustrated below, following the fundamental phases of
exercise. See the P&ID (APPENDIX B) for details of equipment position mentioned in the following paragraphs
by green characters.
Drying includes two main phases:

• adsorption;
• regeneration, which includes:
o dehumidification;
o depressurization;
o stripping;
o pressurization;
o cooling.
The adsorption and regenerating phases occur simultaneously in the two columns. While the “on line” tower is
adsorbing, the “off line” tower is regenerating. At the phase’s end, they automatically switch to complete the
column cycle.
The hot air coming from the compressor is directly used to regenerate the adsorbing material. Consequently,
it is delivered at the top side of the column, which is regenerating (AT001 or AT002) and crosses the adsorption
material bed (activated alumina). This phase is called dehumidification (or heating) and it is described in
Section 4.2.1.
After the dehumidification, while the adsorbing process is going on in one column, the depressurization,
stripping, pressurization and cooling phases follow one other in the regenerating column. Note that, during
the depressurization, stripping, pressurization and cooling phases the air used for the adsorption is that coming
from the compressor and cooled by the cooler AC001.
The process and the air path during these phases are described in the Sections 4.2.2 - 4.2.5.
At the end of the adsorption / regeneration phase, the column phases automatically exchange. Note that the
phase duration is defined, as described in Section 4.5.
In the following, the process description assumes the column AT002 in adsorption and the column AT001 in
regeneration.
4.1Adsorption
During the adsorption process, the inlet air enters in the “on line” tower from the bottom and flows up through
the desiccant bed, so that the moisture content adheres to the desiccant surface. Due to the system upset, the
condensate is kept away from the desiccant and remains at the bottom of the tower from where it can be easily
exhausted during the regeneration cycle.
Dryer DHRD6000
The air required for the adsorption phase needs to be cooled. To this aim, the air is conveyed from the bottom
connection of the regenerating column to the cooler AC001, able to reduce the inlet temperature thanks to
cooling water, which shall be supplied at the temperature of 25 °C. At this point, the condensate included in
the air is partially separated thanks to the condensate separator SEP001 installed downstream the cooler
and it is drained by the drain valve HV002.
In the following, the cooled air is delivered to the bottom of the column in adsorption. As it flows up through
this “on line” tower, its moisture content adheres to the desiccant surface and it is retained within the required
dew point value (see Section 3.2). Dry compressed air is then released from the top of the column to the outlet
line. The outlet air temperature is controlled by the temperature transmitter (TT004).
Figure 4.1 shows the path of compressed air from the inlet point to the outlet one during the adsorption phase
of column AT002 (the left one) and the regeneration phases of the column AT001 (the right one). The position
of the actuated valves is specified in Table 4.1.
Note that the inlet temperature is controlled by the temperature transmitter TT001. If the temperature is too
low (100 °C) for the dryer efficiency an alarm shall trigger (at Client’s charge).
The temperature before and after the cooler is monitored respectively by the temperature transmitters TT002
and TT003. If the air is not sufficiently cooled namely, the temperature monitored by the temperature
transmitter TT003 exceeds 46 °C an alarm shall trigger ((at Client’s charge)).
The pressure of the dried air downstream each column is monitored by the pressure transmitters PT001/002.
If the pressure is too low, namely below 4 bar(g), the dryer cannot operate; consequently, an alarm shall trigger
((at Client’s charge)).
At the outlet, the dried air temperature is monitored by the temperature transmitter TT004. A maximum
temperature of 70 °C is allowed, on the contrary an alarm shall trigger ((at Client’s charge)).

4.2Regeneration
Regeneration (purging or “off-line” cycle), is the process by which moisture accumulated during the “on line”
cycle (adsorption) is stripped away.
The regenerating phases are described below.
4.2.1 Dehumidification
During the dehumidification, the hot air coming from the compressor is delivered to the column that is in
regeneration phase (AT001), particularly it enters into the column from the top side. As the air flows gently
through the regenerating bed, from the top to the bottom of the tower, it attracts the moisture accumulated on
the surface of the desiccant during the adsorption phase. At the column outlet, the air is cooled prior to be
conveyed to the column in adsorption. The cooler operation is described in Section 4.3.
The path of compressed air from the inlet point to the outlet one during the dehumidification phase of the
column AT001 (the right one) and the simultaneous adsorption phase in the column AT002 (the left one) is
shown in Figure 4.1. The position of the actuated valves is specified in Table 4.1.
4.2.2 Depressurization
During this phase, the hot air coming from the compressor is directly delivered to the cooler AC001 in order to
be used for the adsorption in the column AT002. Simultaneously, the column AT001 is depressurized, namely
the pressure inside the tank is discharged into the atmosphere through the valve XV012 and the silencers
AM001/002, dragging outside part of the moisture entrapped into the adsorbing material.
The air path during the depressurization phase of the column AT001 (the right one) and the simultaneous
adsorption phase in the column AT002 (the left one) is shown in Figure 4.1. The position of the actuated valves
is specified in Table 4.1.
Expansion phase ends when the vessel pressure equals the atmospheric one.
4.2.3 Stripping
To improve the regeneration of the desiccant material, and thus the dryer efficiency, the depressurization is
followed by the stripping phase. A percentage of dried air (purge air) is removed from the dried outlet flow and
delivered to the regenerating tower to remove the last little bit of moisture entrapped into the regenerating bed.
This allows the achievement of low dew point values.
A percentage of purge air (see Section 3.2) is delivered through the stripping valve XV011 to the top of the
column in regeneration (AT001).
The moisture evaporates tanks to the dried air stream, and it is discharged to the atmosphere through the
valve XV012 and the silencers AM001/002.
The air path from the dryer inlet through the cooler AC001, the condensate separator SEP001 and the
adsorbing tower AT002 is the same as during the depressurization phase of column AT001. The air path during
the stripping phase of the column AT001 and the simultaneous adsorption phase in the column AT002 is
shown in Figure 4.3. The position of the actuated valves is specified in Table 4.1.
4.2.4 Pressurization
After the stripping phase, the column in regeneration (AT001) is bringing back to the working pressure to avoid
pressure oscillations on the network when it is switched to the adsorption phase. To this aim, the actuated
discharge valve (XV012) closes themselves off. The air path during the pressurization in the column AT001 is
the same shown in Figure 4.3, with the valve XV012 closed. The position of the actuated valves is specified in
Table 4.1.
When the pressure reaches the working value (monitored by the pressure transmitter PT001), the regenerated
column is ready to be cooled and to start a new adsorption cycle.
4.2.5 Cooling
At the end of the stripping and the pressurization phases the cooling cycle valves open. The cooling phase
reduces the temperature of the adsorbing material prior to the column shift. This process, combined with the
stripping phase, provides extremely low dew points and temperature fluctuation during the tower shift.
During this phase, a percentage of dried air (purge air) is removed from the dried outlet flow and delivered to
the regenerating tower (AT001) through the cooling valve XV013; particularly it crosses the tower from the
bottom to the top. The cooling air pressure is monitored by the pressure transmitter PT004.
The air path during the cooling in the column AT001 is shown in Figure 4.4, while the position of the actuated
valves is specified in Table 4.1.
phase in the column AT001.
Dryer DHRD6000
At the end of the cooling phase, the column AT001 that was in the regenerating process is automatically
switched to adsorption and vice versa.
For completeness, the position of the actuated valves during the adsorption phase of column AT001 and the
regeneration phase of the column AT002 is specified in Table 4.2.

4.3Cooler operation
The plant includes the cooler described in Section 3.1.3. Its aim is to cool the inlet air using cooling water. The
inlet and outlet temperature of both air (tube side) and water (shell side) are specified in the Table 3.2.
The hot inlet air enters into the cooler by the flanged connection N1 and it is delivered to the tube bundle
through the tube sheet. At the same time, the cooling water enters into the cooler shell through the flanged
connection N3, which is installed on the shell at the opposite extremity with respect to N1 in order to have the
countercurrent flow of the fluids.
The two fluids enter into close contact through the tube bundle and the baffles. In fact, while the air flows into
the tube bundle, the water runs countercurrent into the shell, over the outside surfaces of the tubes, adsorbing
a part of the air heat content. Consequently, the air cools, reaching the desired outlet temperature. The cooled
air is delivered to the plant through the outlet flanged connection N2, while the heated water flows off to the
water discharge through the flanged connection N4, installed on the opposite side of the shell.
4.4Condensate separator operation
The cold air enters into the condensate separator, installed downstream, through the flanged connection N1.
The demister installed at the separator vessel inlet intercept all the flowing air.
This device works by coalescing smaller liquid droplets by obstructing its path. Obstruction of path causes
increased collisions among the liquid droplets. Most of these droplets stick together and constitute bigger
droplets that are too heavy to rise with the gas stream. Thus, the bigger liquid droplets (and other foreign
particles) drop down in bottom of the shell. The gravity facilitates this process. The obstruction in the path does
not affect the gas stream, which escapes through the air outlet (N2). The air flux delivers the condensate
particles along the bottom side of the shell to the drain manhole from where they are drained. The opening
and closure times of the solenoid valve are managed from control system.
4.5Phase duration
The desiccant material quantity has been designed to have a minimum regeneration cycle period.
The dryer operates in “fixed time mode”, namely the duration of the various drying phases is fix. The
manufacturer suggests to set a total cycle period of 480 minutes:
• adsorption: 240’;
• dehumidification and depressurization: 90’;
• stripping: 90’;
• pressurization and cooling: 60’.
The moisture loading is affected by inlet temperature, pressure, relative humidity and flow. These conditions
vary throughout the day and rarely combine perfectly to produce maximum moisture loads. An inlet
temperature drop can significantly reduce the moisture load. Dryers are sized for “worst case scenario”
operation, with the fixed time control mode to accommodate maximum moisture loads, but since a fixed
duration cycle does not compensate for fluctuating loads, energy is wasted by regenerating more often than
necessary.
The dew point control mode is designed to adjust the energy use necessary to actual moisture load. Dew
point control eliminates the unnecessary use of energy by delaying regeneration until the total design moisture
load is achieved. Under dew point control, adsorption and regeneration cycles switch based on the dew point
value. Particularly, at the end of the regeneration phase, if the dew point value is still good, the dryer stays in
standby. When the dew point becomes worse, namely higher than the set point, the regeneration phase starts.

STAFF SAFETY
6 STAFF SAFETY
The dryer is designed and constructed in compliance with the most recent safety regulations. Nevertheless,
the personnel in charge of any activity on/with the machinery have to pay attention and comply with the safety
instructions prescribed in the present manual.
DANGER!
Danger due to incorrect behaviour!
Minor or relevant components damage and personnel injuries could be due to:
• not-observance of safety instructions;
• activity carry out by non-qualified personnel;
• machinery not use within design specifications;
• product modifications not authorized by the Manufacturer;
• incorrect maintenance.
Personnel must wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) depending on the performing activity. In
the manual, referring to the described activity, proper PPE are suggested. However, standard safety
regulations must be obeyed.
From a safety point of view, the unit must be daily inspected, to ensure that operating conditions are safe and
eventually intervene to reestablish the dangerous ones.
6.1Safety symbols
Symbols used in the present manual to indicate potential hazards and prescription of Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) are listed and illustrated in Table 6.1. This table indicates also the activities during which
personnel must obey obligatory instructions and must pay attention to potential hazards.

6.2Warning symbols on the dryer
On the equipment, hazard or relevant parts are indicated by proper symbols. They indicate:
• electrical supply on the control panel;
• earth lugs on the baseplate;
• lifting eyebolts at baseplate corners;
• hot surfaces of columns and piping upstream the cooler.
The safety symbols located on the skid are indicated in the General arrangement drawing (APPENDIX A).
6.3Correct and improper use
The dryer is intended to:

• dry compressed air exclusively;
• dry compressed air free from aggressive particles in water and/or oil;
• operate in compliance with data reported in the contract and declaration of conformity.
Uses or conditions, which differ from previous points, imply improper uses.
STAFF SAFETY
Clear misuse is the use of dryer components as climbing aid. Pipes, valves and other elements are not
designed to that aim; they could fracture or became damaged.
6.4Safety devices
The machinery has been designed with particular attention to safety. In fact, it is equipped with:
➢ safety valve installed on each dryer column (PSV001/002) set to 10 barg and with discharge in air
environment;
➢ couple of silencers (AM001/002) to discharge regenerating air;
➢ insulating coating 30 mm thick of columns (AT001/002) against surface hot temperature.
6.5Residual risks
Although risks have been reduced as far as possible with accurate design and construction, some residual
risks persist.
• Discharge of air under pressure:
o the unit is equipped with pressure safety valves installed on the columns against the risk of blast
due to too high overpressure. However, risks of safety valve discharge persist, although they
are directed in safe areas, at a height of about 3 m.
o although two silencers (AM001/002) are installed, during the depressurization phase the
discharge of air under pressure generates a strong and sudden noise (see Section 3.3).
• Sliding:
spilled desiccant agent beads on the floor during desiccant material emptying and filling could cause
sliding.
• Burn:
due to the high temperature of the compressed inlet air, the vessel and piping external surface could
reach burning temperatures (> 65 °C). Although the vessels are insulated by stone wool, some parts,
i.e. the upper and lower part of the vessels (heads), the lining clamping screws and/or nozzles or
flanged connections could stick out from the isolation. Connecting piping upstream the cooler could
also reach burning temperatures; these surfaces are indicated on the skid by proper pictograms.
Further residual risks which characterize the various life phases of the machinery are listed in the associated
following sections by “danger advises”.
NOTE:
The machine is designed to always guarantee a free path for the air passage between skid inlet and outlet,
to avoid risks resulting from overpressure. In case of emergency stop or blackout the valves remain in
position.
It is responsibility of the user to ensure correct installation of valves, shut-off devices and safety devices
upstream and downstream the skid, in order to avoid risks deriving from overpressures.
Dryer DHRD6000
In case of restart after a prolonged shutdown or shutdown for maintenance activities, the user has the
responsibility to verify the position and status of the shut-off valves / devices installed upstream and
downstream of the skid.
6.6Authorized personnel location
During normal operation, personnel is allowed staying on the panel side at the floor level.
In case of maintenance activities that require elevated positions, the operator cannot use any components as
support. A proper ladder or gangway must be adopted.
WARNING!
Prior to start any maintenance activity, wait 60 minutes from the machine shutdown in order
to let it cool down.
Attention must be paid to the discharges of safety valves. They are located at elevated position (about 3 m),
but during inspections or maintenance activities of the highest parts of the dryer, personnel must never stay in
front of them, except if the dryer is not under pressure.
Furthermore, pay attention to air discharge from the silencers during depressurization; pressurized air
violently ejected could cause severe injuries to eyes and/or skin, while strong and sudden noise could cause
damages to the auditory apparatus.

PACKAGING
8 PACKAGING
Sinergia supplies a seaworthy package sufficient to withstand, for land/sea and outside storage for twelve (12)
months, handling during loading/unloading, sea and inland transport, outdoor storage, exposure to high
humidity, extreme temperature, salt, precipitation.
The type of packaging provided is a ISPM15 fumigated and marked wooden box coupled with sac barrier,
coex cover and dehydrating salts included.
Therefore, equipment and materials are protected against both mechanical damages (shocks, rupture,
breakage, loss) and corrosion (rain, salty atmosphere, sand, etc.).
Dimensions, weights, volumes and main handling information as stackability and storage class are indicated
in the packing list.
NOTE:
• •Never superimpose the boxes one over the other one.
• •NEVER place heavy packages on other packages and ensure to not exceed the load capacity of the
supporting floor.
STORAGE
9 STORAGE
In case it is necessary to store the supplied units, in any case the storage place should satisfy the following
general conditions:
• during the guaranteed period (12 months) of the supplied packaging, it can be stored outdoor; after this
period, follow the prescription of “long term storage” below;
• flat surface isolated from the ground (by a concrete cover to avoid moisture) and external vibrations;
• safe zone.
NOTE:
• •Required activities to guarantee unit protection during storage as indicated below shall be performed
by specialized packers and a report including pictures and operation description shall be issued;
otherwise, packing warranty decays.
• NEVER place heavy packages on other packages and ensure to not exceed the load capacity of the
supporting floor.
9.1Temporary storage (less than 12 months)
In case of temporary storage (less than 12 months from packing), the main concern is protection from weather
agents.
a) Before the installation, components must be preserved in their original packaging. During storage it is
important to check monthly:
• condition of dehydrating material through the humidity indicator installed on barrier bags. If packing
humidity indicator indicates high humidity, replacement of dehydrating material inside the packing is
required. To this aim specialized packers must:
accurately open the box;

open the protection bag with a cutter pay attention to not cause damages;
remove the original dehydrating sachets and replace the correct sachet quantity depending on the
storage duration. The calculation of the minimum salt quantity to be included shall be performed by
competent personnel since it is difficult to define and depends on various factors;
replace the humidity indicator;

seal again the barrier sac and vacuum;
close again the wooden box;
Dryer DHRD6000
alternatively, if the previous step cannot be performed because the original packing is damaged or
not specialized technicians are available, apply a new specific long term storage packing, as for
instance:
- sack-coupled barrier (film composed by layers of high density polyethylene, aluminum foil and
polyester or Valeron film). To protect the machinery against moisture, it must be vacuum-
sealed, namely the barrier bag has to be hermetically sealed, so that it comes in the package
by creating a vacuum that reduces the volume of contained air. With the aim of absorbing
moisture in the air at the time of closing, a correct quantity of new desiccant bags of dehydrating
salts have to be included (hanged up at the upper parts of the skids) in the package. Then, the
unis shall be protected by a wooden box.
- Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) packaging. Adopting this method, an invisible layer of
protection against corrosion is due to the volatile active substances that evaporates from the
support material and condenses on the free surface of the metal in a molecular layer. This type
of protection can be adopted alone or integrated with other packaging. Then, the unis shall be
protected by a wooden box.
if the specific long-term packing cannot be performed, hang up enough sachets of dehydrating salt
as previously detailed. Then, protect the units with a lorry tarpaulin accurately wrapped and store
indoor for a maximum period of six months. Ensure minimum temperature of +2 °C to avoid ice
formation;
ensure the units against potential accidental impacts by protections and information signs;
issue a report including pictures and job description.
b) In the case of temporary storage of the skids during the plant life, due to the disconnection from the
external plant, after shutdown and depressurization, it is fundamental to:
depressurize the units;

stop the cooling water supply;
drain cooling water from the cooler;
drain accumulated condensate from condensate separator, filter and lower points (by the valve
HV012) clean and dry drainage systems;
accurately clean and dry all the components and equipment, included internal surfaces of piping,
tanks and any shell subjected to pressure under operation;
drain accumulated condensate from all condensate drains, clean and dry drainage systems;
ensure that everything is in good condition and not damaged; in contrary case, substitute or repair
following the Manufacturer’s prescriptions;
plug all flanged and threaded opening with bolted plugs or blind flanges with gaskets;
concerning the single supplied components follow the storage prescriptions listed below and
suggested by the relative Manufacturers in the associated Manuals;
STORAGE
place a suitable quantity of vapour corrosion emitters (VCI) inside the Local Control panels and tape
openings to minimize air infiltration;
ensure minimum temperature of +2 °C to avoid ice formation.

protect the units, accurately wrapping them with a plastic tarpaulin sealed with tape;
ensure the units against potential accidental impacts by protections and information signs.
9.2Long term storage (longer than 12 months)
During long-term storage, it is fundamental also the prevention of external and internal surfaces of components
from corrosion that could be caused by condensation of air moisture due to changes of ambient temperature
from day to night and due to season succession. To this aim, anti-corrosion and anti-rust protections must
be adopted in addition to the prescriptions for the temporary storage.
a) In the case of required long storage of the skids before the installation (namely, in the case the skids are
still packaged so as they were packed in the Sinergia’s factory) it is necessary to:
follow the first six steps for the short-term storage;
accurately unpack, cut the sac-barrier, remove the original dehydrating sachets;
inspect the skids to ensure component integrity and not corrosion evidence;
fill the skids of nitrogen.
Prior to fill the plant:
- ensure closure of the drain (HV002/003/012) valves;
- close all open connections with blind flanges or threaded plugs with gaskets, except the filing
ones.
- install pressure gauges at the filling connections to monitor the nitrogen pressure.
To fill:
- suck trapped air and fill with nitrogen; the oxygen content must be less than 2% of the volume
measured at the flushing outlet and the nitrogen pressure of 0.3÷0.35 barg.
WARNING!
When filling with nitrogen is required, ensure that the operation is carried out safely for both
the personnel and the components to be filled. This implies, but it is not limited to:
- ensure that the area is adequately ventilated, in order to avoid risk of suffocation in
case of nitrogen leakages;
- check for leakages all the plugged connections;
- limit the potential overpressure risks, employing a suitable pressure regulator (or an
equivalent device) between the package to be filled and the nitrogen supply (depending on
the pressure of the nitrogen supply).
Dryer DHRD6000
- concerning the single components installed on the skids, follow the long-term storage
prescriptions listed below and suggested by the relative Manufacturers in the associated
Manuals;
replace the dehydrating salts inside the packing and re-close the packing or apply a new packing,
following the indications provided for short terms storage at point a. Note that the dehydrating salt
status conditions shall be checked every month and replaced every twelve (12) months (since last
salt replacement);
if the specific long-term packing cannot be performed, hang up enough sachets of dehydrating salt
as previously detailed. Then, protect the units with a lorry tarpaulin accurately wrapped and store
indoor for a maximum period of six months;
never seal wood or other high moisture cellulose products in a barrier bag;
exposure of finished and unfinished surfaces to hygroscopic materials or materials that contain
moisture must be avoided unless proper precautions are taken;
check monthly the dryer nitrogen filling pressure (0.3-0.35 bar(g)) on the dedicated pressure gauge
accessible through a dedicated opening in the wooden crate; If nitrogen pressure is lower than 0.3
barg, it is necessary to refill the plant. Consider the safety prescriptions listed in Temporary storage,
point a);ensure the packaging against potential punctures (e.g. by wooden braces);
ensure the packaging against potential accidental impacts by protections and information signs.
b) In the case of long storage of the assembled skids during the plant life, due to the disconnection from the
external plant, it is necessary to:
follow the first eigth prescriptions for the temporary storage (point b);
inspect the skids to ensure component integrity and not corrosion evidence;
remove the filtering cartridges from the filters;
accurately clean and dry all the components and equipment, included internal surfaces of piping,
tanks and any shell subjected to pressure under operation;
fill the dryers with nitrogen as prescribed above at point a).

concerning the single components installed on the skids, follow the long-term storage prescriptions
listed below and suggested by the relative Manufacturers in the associated Manuals;
apply a new long storage packing or protections as described above at point a of short term storage.
check monthly the nitrogen filling pressure (0.3-0.35 bar(g)) on the dedicated pressure gauge
accessible through a dedicated opening in the wooden crate and eventually refill following the same
indications and prescriptions of the Temporary storage, point a).
Once the 12 months of guaranteed storage in the original packing are expired, pay attention to the storage
prescriptions for the following main components.
STORAGE
• Spare parts:
- Follow the prescriptions of the safety sheets if available;
- store provided components in their original sealed packaging, indoor, in a closed, dry and
protected site;
- add sachets of dehydrating salt (or silica gel) in the containing boxes.
• Loose desiccant material:

- Store in the original sealed packaging, indoor, in a closed, dry and protected site;
- open the packing only just before the use (once it will be necessary for tower refilling) to avoid
contact with air and consequent affection of material lifetime;
- store away from incompatible materials, namely acids, bases, strong oxidising agents, chlorine;
- store away from foodstuffs;
- keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources.
• Electrical panel:
- apply vapor corrosion emitters inside the cabinet. As a limit alternative, include new sachets of
dehydrating salt (or silica gel) to adsorb humidity; hang up the salt sachets in the upper part of
the cabinet to avoid the water (which could accumulate at the bottom of the panel) contact,
which could induce corrosion. Regularly verify the adsorption capacity of the sachets;
- tape openings to minimize air infiltration;
- If disassembled from the skids, store indoor, in a closed and dry site, isolated from the ground,
protected against potential accidental impacts and wrapped with a plastic sheet or a tarpaulin.
• Electrical equipment and components:

- disassemble all the electric/electronic instruments installed on the skids;
- store instruments and electronic equipment, which were disassembled or extracted by the
original packaging, indoor, in a closed and dry site, wrapped, protected by vapor corrosion
inhibitors devices, and placed in protective wooden boxes, not in contact with the ground. Note
that components sealed in plastic shrink-wrap (i.e. spare parts) are not exempt from corrosion
problems, since moisture will collect inside the plastic, resulting in corrosion.
- store delicate instruments, as distribution components and programmable controllers, as
indicated at the previous point; in addition the storage place must be air conditioned.
- Single effect actuators and solenoid valves should be protected to avoid air inlet in their
silencer.
• Small parts (threads, valve stems, flange mating faces, nuts and bolts, machined surfaces,…):
- store indoor, in a closed and dry site, isolated from the ground and protected against potential
accidental impacts;
- apply corrosion preventive compound;
Dryer DHRD6000
- wrap with laminate craft papers or polyethylene sheets;

- locate items in protective wooden boxes.

• Fire:
it is important to install the skid far from components/systems at risk of fire, which could compromise
both machineries and personnel, and have a suitable fire prevention system.
NOTE:
Note that, in case of fire, fire extinguishers suitable for devices under tension have to be used.
• Accidental impacts:
the units are not protected against accidental impacts, which could induce relevant damages.
Consequently, it is fundamental to safeguard them against moving means, which could operate at the
installation site, nearby the machinery, as for instance:
o trucks;
o fork lifts;
o cranes;
o etc…
WARNING!
To prevent the risk of burn due to high temperature of the upper and lower parts of columns
and the piping upstream the cooler during operation of the dryer, Sinergia suggest to install,
during installation activities, an insulating coating on the above-mentioned parts.
Alternatively, if the previous activity cannot be performed, Sinergia prescribes the installation
of the machine in a fenced area, not accessible during normal operation of the dryer, and
equipped with protections conforming to EN 13857.
NOTE:
Sinergia declines any responsibility for damages due to blast, fire or accidental impacts.
INSTALLATION
11.3Mechanical installation
11.3.1 Foundation
The units must be positioned securely and on a stable foundation. Any risk of movement should be removed
by suitable means, especially to avoid strain on any rigid discharge piping.
The foundation is at Customer’s charge. Sinergia provides the necessary indications for design and
construction, namely operating loads, location of the anchor points and fixing system, as shown in the General
arrangement drawing (APPENDIX A). The anchoring system is shown in Figure 11.1; it requires drilling holes
( 18 mm) in the foundation concrete.
Figure 11.1: Fixing system.
11.3.2 Anchoring to foundation

The anchor holes ( 18 mm) at each corner of the baseplate need to anchor the skid to the foundation. The
anchor detail is shown in Figure 11.1. Before the installation, the location of the anchor holes on the baseplates
needs to be verified against the as-built location and dimensions of the holes prepared in the concrete
foundation. Any discrepancies should be noted and resolved avoiding modification of the baseplate anchor
holes.
To anchor the skid the below steps must be followed:
locate the skid on the foundation;

fix the baseplate to the foundation by prescribed screw nuts turned (without tightening) on the anchor
bolts (after washer location), already prepared in the foundation;
level the skid. This step is critical and of fundamental importance. It must be performed by qualified
personnel using a machinist level, an industrial laser or an optical level located on the top frame of
the baseplates;
perform grouting to maintain the levelling (if necessary);

Dryer DHRD6000
tighten the screw nuts.

11.3.3 Assembling and connections
Prior to install and assemble the skid, remove any packing and preservation materials that will interfere with
the activity. Furthermore, remove all temporary supports, protections, that were installed to prevent equipment
damage during transportation.
WARNING!
To prevent entry of dust, debris or water during assembling/connecting activities, maintain
sealed the plugs/enclosures installed prior the transport to cover all flanged and threaded
openings, instrument and electrical devices.
It is fundamental to ensure removing of plugs only at the realization of each connection. The
original plugs should be stored for potential future use.
Furthermore, prior to the installations/connections ensure that nothing is included into the
connecting piping.
The installation must follow the P&IDs (APPENDIX B) and the general arrangement (APPENDIX A).

• ensure safety equipment and critical utilities availability and reliability;
• issuance of the “ready for pressurization’’ document.
12.5 Pressurization and turn on
Once the “ready for pressurization’’ activities have been performed, pressurization, turn on and tests must
be performed.
START-UP
DANGER!
Automatic starting machine!
Incorrect start-up can cause material damages and/or personnel injuries.
Potential discharge of pressurized air!
• Air under pressure could be discharged; particles included in the air could be
violently ejected causing severe injuries to eyes and/or skin!
• During the expansion phase of drying process, the pressurized air is discharged
from the silencer generating a strong and sudden noise; it can cause damages
to the auditory apparatus;
• In emergency case, the safety valves installed on vessels can discharge
pressurized air. Although the discharges are conveyed in safety areas,
attention must be paid.
Risk of burn!
External surfaces could reach high temperature (>65 °C).
Risk of electrical shock!
Presence of electrical supply: keep all parts of the body and any hand–held tools or
other conductive objects, away from exposed live parts of the compressor electrical
system.
Risk of sliding!
Potential leakages of water (condensation) could cause sliding.
Obey safety precaution. Personnel in charge of start-up must be equipped with the
necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), namely safeguard shoes, gloves
eye and hearing protections. In-observance can cause personnel injuries.
To pressurize and turn on the dryer the following instructions must be followed:
ensure that the control system (at Client’s charge) is ready;

supply power to the unit;
pressurize the upstream line by a compressor (Client’s plant);
keep closed the outlet valve, which intercepts the dryer downstream (at Client’s charge);
slowly open the inlet valve (if it will be installed by the Client), which intercepts the dryer upstream;
Dryer DHRD6000
DANGER!
Danger due to rapid build-up of opressure!
Slowly open the compressed air inlet valve; a rapid build-up of pressure can cause dryer
damages, in particular life reduction of the molecular sieves due to desiccant bead crushing
or pulverization. Furthermore, discharge of pressure can cause severe personnel injuries.
ensure that actuated valves are in correct position;

when the desired pressure is achieved, turn on the dryer.

NOTE:
Suggestion for first start up or after change of drying material:
since the drying material in the columns can be loaded of moisture depending on transport and storage
conditions, it is useful to run the dryer for some hours independently from the compressed air system,
without dried air consumption in order to achieve the desired efficiency.
12.6 Integration in the compressed air system
To integrate the dryer in the external air system, after the previous steps, the following instructions must be
executed:
slowly open the outlet valve, which intercepts the dryer downstream (if it will be installed by the Client);
during outlet valve opening take under control the pressure indicators (PT001/002); pressure should
not decrease under the operating pressure. Eventually, keep the outlet valve in a slightly open
position until the downstream line has filled up completely. At that point, the valve can be completely
opened.
WARNING!
Danger due to abrupt drop in pressure!
Slowly open the compressed air outlet valve; a rapid drop in pressure can cause dryer
damages.
12.7 Checks after first start-up
After the first start-up it is necessary to inspect that:

• thread and bolt connections are tightened;
• piping joints have not been damaged;
• foundation bolts are regularly tight;
START-UP
• clamps screws of cables are closed;

• no air or water leakages occur;
• the condensate drain flows out;
• all operating parameters are as designed.
12.8Tests
Once the process is in operation, commissioning operational, functional and performance tests must be carried
out on plant and equipment.
Finally, product design specification conformity must be proved.
MONITORING
13 MONITORING
The dryer automatically runs, however, it is necessary to perform regular checks, as described in Section 16.

Risk of sliding!
Obey safety precaution. Personnel in charge of shutdown and restart must be

equipped with necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), namely safeguard
shoes, gloves, eye and hearing protections against potential pressure discharges.
In-observance can cause personnel injuries.
WARNING!
Danger due to incorrect shutdown!
Pay attention to execute a correct shutdown procedure.
Incorrect switch off during expansion or drying phases can cause damages to the desiccant
material due to a sudden pressure build-up in the columns.
Dryer DHRD6000
14.1 Shutdown
The necessity to shot down the dryer can occur in different cases:
• maintenance;
• emergency or breakdown;
• disassembly.
Attention must be paid to the sequence of the required steps to avoid the unit damage and to preserve the
dryer efficiency.
Depending on the reason of shutdown, different procedures may be necessary:

• stop of the ongoing cycle without complete depressurization;
• complete depressurization.
Complete depressurization is strictly prescribed in case of disassembly and some maintenance activity (see
Section16).
To stop the dryer:
intercept the dryer. To this aim it is necessary to install interception valves at the inlet and outlet
connection of the dryer. These valves are not in the scope of supply of Sinergia, but at Client’s charge.
Close the interception valves to intercept the dryer.
shut down the dryer.

NOTE:
To assure the proper valve positioning, the supply of compressed air to instruments (pilot air) must NOT be
removed prior to shut down the dryer.
The required main phases for the complete depressurization of the dryer are:
intercept the dryer. To this aim it is necessary to install interception valves at the inlet and outlet
connection of the dryer. These valves are not in the scope of supply of Sinergia, but at Client’s charge.
Close the interception valves to intercept the dryer.
shut down the dryer;

depressurize the dryer. To this aim, it is useful to ensure proper valve position, namely to set the
dehumidification phase of the actual regenerating column; this allow making the depressurization
easier. In fact, during the dehumidification phase the entire plant can be depressurized opening the
bypass draining valve HV003 and the valve HV012. When the pressure transmitters indicate the
atmospheric pressure value, the dryer is depressurized.
disconnect the dryer power supply and perform the required maintenance activities.
SHUTDOWN AND RESTART
WARNING!
Prior to start any maintenance activity, wait 60 minutes from the machine shutdown in order
to let it cool down.
NOTE:
Sinergia declines any responsibility for damages due to not correct shutdown procedure.
14.2 Restart
In case of depressurization, prior to restart the unit, it is necessary to pressurize the dryer. To this aim, ensure
pilot air supply, open the valve of pilot air supply (HV006) and then follow the procedure described in Sections
12.5 and 12.6.
In case the dryer has been stopped without interception and depressurization, its operation can be
started again simply giving the starting command.

MAINTENANCE
16 MAINTENANCE
The dryer requires a minimal maintenance activity since most of the components are “free from maintenance”.
However, it is recommended a “preventive maintenance” in order to ensure efficient operation and high
performance for an elevate number of years.
DANGER!
Danger due to incorrect activities!
• Dryer maintenance must be performed by qualified and authorized
technicians.
• NEVER use pipes or valves as climb support or holding points; there
is the risk of injuries due to slipping components, components breaks,
damages of the unit due to applied stresses and/or discharge of compress
air.
• NEVER leave tools or other object (such as cleaning rags) on the plant;
potential falls can cause damages of other components.
• Never stay below suspended loads.
• NEVER perform welding operations or modifications on columns.
• Perform maintenance activity only after dryer shutdown and
depressurization.
• NEVER perform maintenance activity on pressurized components as
long as the unit is pressurized; discharge of pressurized air can cause
severe injuries!
• Loosen nipples with care. Pay attention to dynamic pressures: violent
discharge of pressurized air can cause severe injuries!
Risk of burn!
External surfaces could reach high temperature (>65 °C). Prior to start any
maintenance activity, wait 60 minutes from the machine shutdown in order to let
it cool down.
Presence of electrical supply: keep all parts of the body and any hand–held
tools or other conductive objects, away from exposed live parts of the
compressor electrical system.
Risk of sliding!
Pay attention to potential condensate leakages and/or desiccant agent beads
spilled on the floor.
Dryer DHRD6000
DANGER!
Obey safety precaution. Personnel in charge of maintenance and repairs must
be equipped with the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),
namely safeguard shoes, gloves, eye and hearing protections. In-
observance can cause personnel injuries.
In addition to the activities prescribed during the monitoring (Section 13), which can be accomplished while
the dryer is operating, Sinergia prescribes the maintenance activity scheduled in Table 16.1, which requires
the replacement of parts.
NOTE:
Use of spare parts in compliance with the Manufacturer requirements and guidelines is recommended.

position.
16.1Replacement of desiccant material
Life of desiccant material (about 18-24 months) depends on installation condition and impurities included in
the compressed air; in fact oil, dust, dirty particles sediment on desiccant material reducing its active surface.
Furthermore, replacement interval time depends on the regular replacement of the upstream filter; in fact,
malfunctioning of filter reduces the efficiency of desiccant material.
In normal operation conditions (except anomalies or emergency), the dryer Manufacturer prescribes an annual
check and the replacement of desiccant material every two years.
Dryer vessels must be filled from the top and emptied from the bottom.
Dryer DHRD6000
Due to the height of the unit, to reach the filling nozzles at the columns top, each column is equipped with an
eyebolt lifting where the operator must fix the safety harness. Position of filling and emptying nozzles and lifting
eyebolts is specified in APPENDIX A.
DANGER!
Danger due incorrect behaviour!
• To reach the filling nozzle at column top fix the safety harness to eyebolt lifting
located at columns top.
• NEVER use pipes or valves as climbing support or holding points; there is the
risk of injuries due to slipping components, components breaks, damages of the
unit due to applied stresses and/or discharge of compress air.
• Whenever it is necessary to use a rung ladder or a gangway, ensure that they are
appropriate to allow the operator to work in safe conditions.
• In addition to PPE mentioned in Section 16, wear an anti-dust mask to handle the
desiccant material.
The steps of the procedure for desiccant material emptying are:
shutdown and depressurize the dryer (see Section 14.1);

place a container under the column to collect the discharged material and avoid its dispersion;
open the loading nozzle at the top of the column removing the blind flange;
open the emptying nozzle at the bottom of the column removing the blind flange;
left free-falling of the material from the tower into the placed container. In case the desiccant material
is so packed into the vessels that the flow is obstructed, help it inserting a small rod into the unloading
nozzle.
WARNING!
Risk of sliding!
If the activated alumina has been spilled on the floor, there is the risk of sliding on the agent
beads. Clean promptly the floor.
carefully clean the base of the vessel from impurities and/or incrustations, draw using an industrial
vacuum cleaner;
replace the flange seal and close the emptying nozzle;

dispose the desiccant material as prescribed by the in force norms.
MAINTENANCE
Prior to fill the vessels make sure to have the proper equipment to discharge the material from the original
packing. The minimal required equipment is a funnel or a cone-shaped system with dimensions proper to
be inserted in the filling connection.
Furthermore, the adsorbing material container must be suitable to be lifted and to charge the adsorbing
material into the vessel.
If the adsorbing material is supplied into big bags, to discharge the material from the big bag into the
funnel/cone shape system, it is necessary to lift it by a suitable crane and correctly located above the filling
nozzle. Each big bas is equipped with proper lifting lugs on the top and regulable opening at the base to allow
regulation of adsorbing material flow.
If the adsorbing material can be in small drums it is necessary to equip the drum opening with a discharging
system with a regulating manual valve.
In any case, if the original packing is not suitable for the vessel filling, it is useful to transfer the material in a
filling container, adapt to be lifted up to the filling connection and equipped with a discharging system (manual
valve and discharging tube) which allows regulating the material discharge into the vessel (such as a
mechanical hopper).
In any case, if the original packing is not suitable for the vessel filling, it is useful to transfer the material in a
filling container, adapt to be lifted up to the filling connection.
The steps of the procedure for filling vessels with new desiccant material are:
ensure that the emptying nozzle at the bottom of the column is close;
approach the loading nozzle with a suitable portable ladder, scissor lift or aerial platform;
lift the desiccant container at the loading nozzle;
slowly discharge the desiccant material in the vessel to prevent chipping and generate dust resulting
in premature clogging of the post-filter; the manual valve of the discharging equipment allows this
activity;
fill the desiccant material in layers;

NOTE:
It is important to insert slowly the desiccant material to prevent chipping and generate dust resulting in
premature clogging of the filter.
Ensure a high bulk density inside the vessel. To this purpose, during the filling, beat regularly with a
rubber hammer on the exterior wall of the tank or use a vibrator applied to the vessel; these methods help
the material compaction. The desiccant material must fill completely the columns and must never be
pressed with any mechanical equipment.
replace the flange seal and close the filling nozzle;

pressurize and restart the dryer (see Section 12.5);
Dryer DHRD6000
ensure that there are no leakages spraying water soapy on the filling and discharge nozzles.
WARNING!
Desiccant material contact!
In case the adsorption material comes into contact with the eyes, immediately wash
them with abundant clean water. For further safety information see the desiccant material
safety data sheet (APPENDIX C).
16.2Silencer replacement
Silencers operation is fundamental during regeneration of desiccant material; malfunctioning or obstruction

can cause an excessive increase of pressure, which could irreparably damage the desiccant material and, in
extreme cases, cause the silencer burst.
DANGER!
Danger due to obstructed silencer
Obstruction of silencer may generate the build-up of dangerous overpressure, with
consequent burst of the silencer. Fragments ejection may cause personnel injury and
material damage.
Dryer Manufacturer prescribes a daily check and a replacement of the silencer every six months. However,
replacement is always required in case of excessive pressure in the columns during regeneration.
The procedure for silencer replacement comprises:
depressurize and shutdown the dryer (sees Section 14.1);

replace the silencer;
pressurize and restart the dryer (see Section 14.2);
dispose the silencer as prescribed by the in force norms.
16.3Separator and cooler maintenance
It is recommended to replace the separator demister and clean the cooler, both tube-side and shell-side
annually. Note that this interval should be adjusted shorter or longer, based on water quality and plant
experience.
Since cooler and separator are connected and to perform the cooler maintenance it is necessary to disconnect
the separator, it is suggested to plan both cooler and separator maintenance at the same time.
To this aim, referring to both the P&Id and Figure 3.3 for connection numbering:
MAINTENANCE

ensure depressurization opening the valves HV012 and HV003;
stop and intercept the cooling water supply to the cooler;
drain the cooler opening the drain valve HV001;
disconnect the draining system and the isolation valve HV016 from the separator;
disconnect the separator SEP001 from the cooler AC001 unscrewing the flange bolts (note that a
couple of O-rings and separating plates are included between the connecting flanges; extract them
and keep them for the re-assembling)
disconnect the separator from the plant loosing the fixing nuts of the outlet (N2) flange;
carefully remove the separator securing it with a suitable sling;
place the separator on safety location and extract the demister;
inspect the separator internal surface and the drain pot;
accurately clean with compressed and dried air;
disconnect the inlet (N1) flanged connections and the flanged connection cooler-elbow (at the
opposite site of the cooler with respect to the separator); to this aim loose the fixing nuts; carefully
remove the cooler-piping connecting elbow piping securing it with a suitable sling;
disconnect the cooling water inlet (N3) and outlet (N4) flanged connections (B); to this aim loose the
fixing nuts;
once the cooler AC001 is disconnected, remove it from the package securing it with a suitable sling;
place the cooler on safety location to extract the tube bundle and clean it;
extract the tube-bundle from the cooler casing; note that a gasket is inserted between the connecting
flange and the holed flanged;
extract the gasket. Note that it should be replaced with a new one during the re-assembling;
clean both the casing and the tube-bundle (tube and shell sides). To this aim:
o circulate compressed air;
o in case of intense deposits, use water. If it is not sufficient, friendly cleaning agent or degreasing
agent that does not attack the material may be added to the water;
o agents with ammonia must not be used.

16.4Drain check
Correct operation of condensate separator drain is fundamental; malfunctioning can cause the casing filling of
condense and consequent reduction of dryer performance. To check drain operation, open the manual drain
line opening the valve HV015 and then the bypass drain valve (HV003). Verify that no condensate drains.
16.5Isolation procedure of drain system of the condensate separator
In order to perform maintenance activities on the separator drain, it is necessary to:
open the manual drain line, opening the valve HV015;

intercept the automatic drain system, closing the valve HV002;
slightly open the bypass drain valve HV003, which is generally closed. This allows the dryer
operating.
16.6Check of electrical system
DANGER!
Danger due to presence of electrical supply!
Cables of electrical supply and of external lines are under power also after the dryer
shutdown. Before to start any activity on the electrical system, ensure that electrical supply
cables and external lines are voltage-free. Furthermore, ensure that electrical supply
cable to the dryer is secured against switch-on.
The electrical system must be checked every one year, following:

make the electrical supply cable to the dryer voltage-free;
secure the electrical supply cable against switch on during checks;
check wirings, control panel for visible damage and corrosion.
MATERIAL DISPOSAL
17 MATERIALS DISPOSAL
Sinergia is actively engaged in environmental protection in agreement with ISO 14001 standards, and it
always designs, manufactures and develops all its products as recyclable as possible.
Recycling is a source of wealth, which contributes to pollution reduction by the recovery of materials for reuse.
Recycling prevents the waste of potentially useful materials and reduces the consumption of both raw materials
and energy, consequently the emission of greenhouse gases.
Materials can be disposed in agreement with the applicable legislation.
The Table 17.1 gives indication about which main components/materials actually needs to be disposed of, and
which ones can be recycled, referring to the main constitutive components.
When the units are to be permanently decommissioned or dismantled, it is important to ensure that all hazard
risks are either eliminated or notified to the recipient of the machine. In particular:
• do not dispose of any pressure vessel that is not clearly marked with its relevant data plate information
or rendered unusable by drilling, cutting etc.;
• do not dispose of a complete machine without documentation relating to instructions for its use.

8.2 Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls:
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
