CP5 level fluctuations
John and I visited CP5 before lunch today to investigate why the liquid level is so noisy (compared to CP6). We verified wires were tight at the controls rack, and eventually made our way to the LL transducer. We closed the exhaust at transducer and the flow stabilized suggesting the instability is caused by a real pressure differential and not electric. We did not check the LLCV pneumatic actuator. After trending the numbers this evening, looks like we did a real number on the system. See plots attached. The % valve open is ranging full scale and LL full spans 90-95%.

Could this be related to the midstation air compressor replacement?

Richard just reset the PID values (same values). The LL seems to have stabilized (well, to its prior stability which is still relatively noisy). We will watch it throughout the day.
