EXHIBIT A - UUPC SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
1. INTRODUCTION
This discussion provides a technical overview of UUPC Software.
A conventional instrumentation environment controls the UNIPOL® PP process, typically
by a Distributive Control System (DCS). UUPC Software augments the DCS and is used
to improve unit operational performance. Increased production rates, increased up time
and reduced off-grade production can be achieved through UUPC Software by improving
operating conditions, expediting product transitions, and providing operator guidance and
data for management systems. Therefore the UUPC Software operates by supervising the
conventional instrumentation.
UUPC Software functions as an independent user application on the overall process
computing platform. The process computing platform includes a typical Windows Server
complement of hardware, operating system, programming utilities, as well as peripheral
equipment. Process data communication with the DCS is via a DCS vendor-provided
“OLE for Process Control” (OPC) server. Typical computer workstations in the control
room will serve as the operating interface for the advanced process control functions.
The DCS database will serve as the process signal interface between UUPC Software and
all control system elements. Information to and from PLCs and analyzers will be
interfaced via the DCS database. UUPC Software will acquire process data from control
loop set points and calculation results to the DCS database.
2. OVERVIEW UUPC SOFTWARE FUNCTIONALITY
The major Functional Modules in UUPC Software are outlined below and will be
described comprehensively in the UUPC Software Functional Specification document for
the project.
a) Advanced Product Control. The economic operation of the Reactor Line is highly
dependent on the correct prediction/estimation of critical product properties of the
product being made in the Reactor Line. These product properties and reactor constraints
generally cannot be measured in a timely, reliable manner on-line. They are dynamically
inferred from secondary measurements such as reactor concentration, temperatures,
modeled reactor process dynamics etc. A non-linear multivariable model-based control
strategy is used to adjust critical reactor parameters. Manipulation of gas composition
ratios, temperature, reactor vents, production rate, and various flow ratios allow aim
grade production to be maximized while transitional off grade is minimized. Product
recipe management is included as a base function of advanced product control.
b) Production Rate Calculation. The production rate for the individual reactors is
calculated based on material and energy balances encompassing the REACTOR LINE.
The material balance is obtained from measured flows and compositions entering/leaving
the REACTOR LINE. The energy balances are obtained from enthalpy calculations over
the reactor system based on a thermodynamic Equation-of-State.
c) Thermodynamic Calculations. Dew point temperature and percentage liquid
condensed calculations are made for the gas streams at the cycle gas cooler outlet and at

67
the reactor inlet. These calculated variables provide valuable operating guide information
for plant production personnel and are used for subsequent predictions of product
properties, production rate constraints, etc. These calculations are based on a
thermodynamic Equation-of- State.
d) Flow Compensation/Calculations. Special flow compensation methods must be used
for process conditions where the basic DCS flow compensations do not provide
acceptable accuracy. UUPC Software calculates special compensation factors that are
shipped to the DCS as adjustment factors to the basic DCS flow compensation. A
thermodynamic equation-of-state method is used to calculate the flowing density of the
cycle gas stream. A special propylene flowing density algorithm is used to calculate the
flowing density of the propylene feed stream to the reactor.
e) What-if Calculations – Product Property. An interactive function is provided to assist
the user to assess, via simulation, the changes to product properties from specified
changes in process conditions without affecting current process operation control. It also
allows the user, via simulation, to calculate the resulting operational conditions for
desired product properties and improve transition performance.
f) What-if Calculations – Thermodynamic Properties. An interactive function is provided
to assist the user to assess, via simulation, the changes to the dew point of the gas at the
cooler outlet and reactor inlet from specified changes to process conditions, without
affecting current process operation or control.
g) Miscellaneous Process Calculations. There are several general process calculations
performed for production personnel. Examples include the superficial velocity in the
reactor, catalyst productivity, actual concentration ratios of reactants, and normalized
stream compositions.
h) Gas Composition Control. The gas composition control module uses a multi-variable,
dynamic, model-based, non-linear inferential control strategy to predict the impact of
disturbances on the process and calculates and implements adjustments to the reactor
flows to maintain the gas composition at the target values. The target values may be
either entered manually or obtained as outputs from the advanced product property
prediction and control module.
i) Production Rate Control. A model-based strategy is used to adjust the manipulated
variables in a coordinated manner to maintain the production rate at the target value
amidst process disturbances. The variation in production rate is reduced allowing
consistent operations at the facility constraints.
j) Production Rate Maximization. Production Rate Maximizer provides a real-time
determination of production rate set points based on process constraint models. The
production rate maximization function allows for sustained operation at the operating
limit.
k) Exception Handler. This functionality enables users to build application specific
process data and operating limit detection logic to detect important process events. Real-
time monitoring of the process results in detected events and subsequent automated
action. The resulting actions are used by UUPC Software program logic and/or operator
to minimize the adverse impact of the exceptional process condition indicated.
68
l) Analyzer Fault Detection. The analyzer fault detection logic validates that the cycle
gas analysis is mathematically consistent with material balance calculations. Major
process upsets caused by inconsistent analysis are significantly reduced. Alarming and
interfacing with operations personnel allows direct interaction with fault detection.
Instrument errors associated with the material balance are used to propagate error bands
in the material balance model.
m) Control Loop Monitor. The control loop monitor tuning software allows one to
rectify poor control loop performance.
n) Graphic and Trend displays. A process graphics and trending package that allows the
creation of graphical displays and historical trends via a process graphics tool that allows
user to develop graphics and trend pages for process monitoring of current and historical
data.
o) Event Notification. Event notification allows automated notification of a process
event via email.
p) On-line Training and Help Menus. UUPC Software training manuals are available via
the operator’s displays. These manuals provide user guidance on the UUPC Software
control technology and the UNIPOL® PP Process. This allows for improvements in
utilization and overall plant performance by keeping operating personnel at maximum
readiness.
q) Application Support. The primary application support functions are the user interface,
the real-time database, the supervisory control package, operator console support and
general software utilities.
r) Micro distributive control. A SCADA system with embedded model predictive control
capability.
s) Gas Phase Composition Builder. Functions to aid in reactor startup by tracking the
charging of raw materials to the reactor prior to reaction initiation.
t) Total Monomer Ratio. Tracking of the amount of monomer through the reaction
process is critical to understand overall operation and efficiencies. Thermodynamic and
material balances are used to track monomers through the reaction process and vent
recovery.
U) Intentionally not used
v) Data Historian-Collection. Collection and trending of process data is critical for
troubleshooting and improving overall operations. Included is a data historian archiver
and trending.
w) Post Reaction Product Tracking. Monitors product properties as product flows
through the post reaction purge bin(s). This program displays the profile of the properties
in the purge bins while color codes are used to show if the product is within the
specification limits. This aids in determining better timing of pelleter transitions and
switching of down-stream bin(s).

69
x) Transition Monitor. This technology allows visualization of transitions and
comparison between previous transition performance and off grade volumes to aid in the
continuous improvement of Transition Recipe parameters.
y) UUPC Utilization Monitor. Compiles statistical usage data for the main UUPC
functionalities and allow the users to focus efforts to improve the utilization and benefits
of UUPC Software.
z) Condensing Controller. Controls the reactor inlet weight percent condensing to an
operator entered set point. This steadies reactor operation by stabilization of the
inventory of liquid within the reactor and reduces the variability of many critical
operating parameters.
aa) Laboratory Fault Detection. Detects reactor product property laboratory
measurements that are statistical outliers. The outliers are flagged before operator
approval while the reasonable measurements are automatically approved so that the
product property models can be immediately corrected.
bb) Total Train Rate Maximization. This functionality builds upon Production Rate
Maximization in that it maximizes throughput in the reactor + post reactor systems. The
reactor production rate and the extrusion throughput are automatically adjusted such the
other overall plant throughput (i.e. not just the reactor) is maximized.

70
EXHIBIT B - PROCESS DATA COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE
(“PDC Software”)
(The PDC Software is supplied by the DCS Vendor and resides in the DCS Computing
Platform)
Process Data Communication Software (PDC Software) is required for efficient
implementation of UUPC SOFTWARE. Licensee agrees that Licensee shall be
responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to license the PDC Software directly
from the DCS Vendor The PDC Software resides in the Distributive Control
System (DCS) Computing Platform and facilitates communication of process data
between UUPC Software and the DCS database. The PDC shall be an OPC (OLE-
Object Link and Embedded) server for Process Control, and is provided by the
Distributive Control System (DCS) vendor, who will provide and install the PDC
Software and configure the database and data tables of the PDC Software for the
process variables.
The PDC Software licensed by Licensee should:
Provide access to current process values (analog and digital) from the DCS
database. The process values should be available to UUPC Software via memory
resident data files in the computing platform. The validity status of the analog
process data should also be available to UUPC Software.
a. The analog process values should be input into the memory resident data files
in a cyclical schedule by the PDC Software. The digital process data should
be input either cyclically or on change-of-state. Typically, about 850 analog
process variables are sent cyclically from the DCS database. A typical
distribution of the cyclical process data frequency (with validity status) is
shown below based on a single reactor line;

FREQUENCY NO. OF TAGS

5 Second Frequency 120


60 Second Frequency 500

Typically, < 64 digital inputs are acquired from the DCS with a change-of-
state response of < 5 seconds.
b. Provide the ability for UUPC Software to send supervisory control set points
to control loops in the DCS database, and provide access to current control
loop status (on or off computer mode) for control loops in the DCS under
supervisory control of UUPC Software. Typically about 9 supervisory control
loops are required per reactor. UUPC Software ships set points to the DCS
database at a frequency of once every 5 seconds.
71
c. Directly or via configuration in the DCS database, automatically sheds
UUPC Software supervisory computer loops in the DCS from "supervisory
computer mode" to "local automatic" (or an equivalent preconfigured status)
upon failure of the process data communication between UUPC Software and
the DCS database.
The preferred implementation method is for the DCS configuration logic to
monitor/detect the status of the supervisory computer loop. While in computer
mode if a set point update is not received from UUPC Software, the control
loop will automatically change from “computer” to “automatic” mode. Upon
such detection the supervisory computer loops should be automatically shed
from "supervisory computer mode" to "local automatic" (or an equivalent
preconfigured status) and the process operator notified that this event has
occurred.
d. Enable UUPC Software to send digital outputs to the DCS database either
directly into memory resident data files or via FORTRAN-callable
subroutines included in the PDC Software. Typically, < 64 digital outputs are
sent to the DCS with a change-of-state response on change-of-state -of < 5
seconds.
e. Send on a cyclic basis calculated values in engineering units from memory
resident data files in the Computing Platform to the DCS database for display,
alarming, trending, history and/or use in DCS calculations. The PDC
Software, directly or via configuration in the DCS, must be able to send from
the Computing Platform and display in the DCS the validity status of these
calculated values.
The capability should be provided either in the PDC Software or via
configuration in the DCS to automatically change the validity status upon a
failure of the process data communication with UUPC Software.
Typically, 500 analog process variables are sent cyclically to the DCS
database. A typical distribution of the cyclical process data frequency (with
validity status) is shown below.

FREQUENCY NO. OF TAGS


5 Second Frequency 50
60 Second Frequency 300

f. Reference/access the current process values, set points, and computed


variables that are input/output between UUPC Software and the DCS database
by tag numbers and send/receive the analog values in engineering units, not
percent of scale, or counts.
g. Include a watchdog feature to periodically validate correct operation of
process data communications between UUPC Software and the DCS database.
72
(The DCS should also include a watchdog feature.) The DCS database and
PDC Software should respectively output messages if such communication is
not validated and set appropriate indicators for action upon detection of failure
(such as making supervisory control loops in the DCS shed from supervisory
computer mode to local automatic).

The features listed above represent minimal functional requirements for the PDC
Software and are not intended to be comprehensive specifications.

Notes for All Performance Guarantee Tests


1. CONSISTA® catalyst from Licensor must be used for all Performance Guarantee
Tests. Where specified, ADT from Licensor must be used for Performance
Guarantee Tests.
2. Tonne is 1 metric ton of final PP pelleted product
3. Contained monomer basis is actual quantity of propylene/ethylene in the feedstream
and Contained Total Monomer Ratio (TMR) will be calculated as defined:
In particular Net Monomers consumption is calculated as:
Σ of Feed Rates of Propylene and Ethylene x monomers concentration at B.L.
(by analysis).
Less the sum of Σ of Purge Streams to B.L recovery (from vent recovery
separation column and propylene purification degassing column) x monomer
concentration in such purge streams.
The quantity of polymer shall be collected and measured at the bagging unit,
railcar loading area or at another mutually agreed point.
4. Performance guarantee values are for the process battery limits which covers from
raw material purification through to the outlet of pelleting.
5. Performance guarantee values for utilities are based on UNIPOL ISBL process users
only and do not include non-process users like lighting, HVAC, and etc.
6. Performance guarantee values are for only steady-state (defined by Licensor’s
Representative), continuous process users in the process scope (raw material
purification through the outlet of the pelleting system – PDP Process Parts 1 - 7).
7. During the seventy two (72) hour Performance Test, the raw material and utilities
consumed must be properly measured during the test and appropriate separation must
be provided associated with the non-guarantee related consumers (for utilities).
8. Performance guarantee values assumed are with the use of hot oil on the die plate of
the pelleting system since the medium used will affect the value of individual utility

92
usages. The use of HP steam on the die plate is an option, however, this case would
require changes to the power and steam warranty.
9. The pelleting system may require multiple die plates to cover the MFR range of
products depending on the overall required list of Performance Guarantee Products.
The appropriate die plate needs to be installed as part of the Performance Test for the
specific product being tested.
10. Normal tolerances in test methods and instruments shall be taken in favor of passing
the Performance Test.
11. Utility consumption, catalyst consumption and net monomer consumptions shall be
calculated during the 72 hours of steady state operation and averaged for one tonne of
production.

93
APPENDIX I - TEST RUN PROCEDURE
1. Licensor will supply Test Run Procedural Details to Licensee at or about the time of
the Start-Up Date. The detailed procedure will specify the methods to be employed
for measuring the results of performance tests, meters and measuring devices to be
used and calculation methods. Before the Test Run, Licensee shall ensure that all
meters and measuring devices are in place and operating correctly. During the Test
Run, Licensee shall operate the Reactor Line in accordance with procedural details
supplied by Licensor. All instruments and measuring devices must be accurate within
a tolerances defined in the Process Design Package.
2. The Test Run shall take place when conditions for a valid Test Run are met.
Licensor may inspect the Reactor Line for completion and mechanical defects before
the Test Run. Licensor may declare a Test Run invalid if these conditions are not
met.
3. Licensee shall perform the Test Run under the supervision of Licensor.
(a) Except as provided below, each test run shall be conducted over a continuous
period of 72 hours duration.
(b) Persons trained under Article 3 shall operate the Reactor Line during the Test
Run.
(c) Licensor shall be given full access to the Reactor Line and to data about its
operation during the Test Run.
Licensor may, at its own option, declare invalid any Test Run that was conducted
when Licensor was absent during at least part of the run for any reason, including
leaving an unsafe area under Article 14.
4. In order to judge the performance of the Reactor Line:
(a) Licensee shall inventory levels of polypropylene in the Reactor Line at the
beginning of the Test Run, including polypropylene in the reactor bed, product
discharge system, product receiver, product purge bin, additive addition system,
and pelleting surge hopper, if applicable.
(b) Licensee shall measure raw materials fed to the Reactor Line using the techniques
specified in the Test Run Procedural Details.
(c) Licensee shall direct all polypropylene made in the Reactor Line during the Test
Run to an initially empty silo(s).
(d) Samples of Licensed PP Product produced in the Test Run shall be taken as
follows:
(i) Licensee will take a 2.5-kilogram sample of product every two hours
during the Test Run. Samples should be taken immediately downstream
from the pellet blend bin. These samples shall be called “2-Hour
Samples”.
(ii) Three hundred grams of three consecutive 2-Hour Sample shall be blended
to provide twelve composite blended samples covering the entire 72 hour
94
test run. The twelve blended composite samples shall be called the 72-
Hour Blended Samples.
(e) Licensee shall measure and record the flowrate of catalyst through the Catalyst
Meter for the duration of the 72-Hour Run. This value will be multiplied by the
concentration of catalyst in the slurry then divided by the product produced during
the 72-Hour Run to determine Catalyst Usage. This measurement and associated
calculations will follow the criteria in the Test Run Procedural Details.
(f) The remaining portion of each of the 2-Hour Samples shall be individually
retained for reference purposes.
(g) At the end of the Test Run, Licensee shall inventory levels of polypropylene in
the Reactor Line and in the silo that receives the product.
5. Licensee shall calculate the quantity of Licensed PP Product made during the Test
Run from the inventory levels of polypropylene in the silo(s) and in the Reactor Line
at the beginning and end of the Test Run. Representatives of Licensee and Licensor
shall jointly record and initial:
(a) the total quantity of the Licensed PP Product produced in the Test Run; and
(b) the total weight of net monomers consumed in the Test Run.
Each Party shall be entitled to a copy of the initialed record. When analysis of the
composite sample of Licensed PP Product is complete, Licensee shall deliver the
results to Licensor.
6. Either Party may interrupt the Test Run prior to the end of the 72-hour period if:
(a) The Reactor Line suffers a mechanical or control system failure, a loss of utilities,
or an interruption of services that effects the performance of the Reactor Line or
the ability to accurately measure that performance;
(b) The Test Run has failed to meet the conditions and procedures for validity, so that
it may be declared invalid; or
(c) The Reactor Line is clearly not going to meet the Performance Specifications for
any other reason.
7. After an interruption under Paragraph 6, Licensor may elect to:
(a) Disregard the results and declare the Test Run invalid and either:
(i) Reperform the Test Run immediately using the same or modified
operating procedures; or
(ii) Postpone further Test Runs for investigation of cause or repair under
Section 10.6 of the Agreement; or
(b) Restart the Test Run after the Reactor Line has been restarted and restored to
normal operation, and continue the Test Run until the total run time under normal
operating conditions is 72 hours. The Licensed PP Products produced and
monomer consumed during abnormal operation shall be disregarded in measuring
the results obtained in the interrupted test run; or

95
(c) Adjust the measured production of Licensed PP Product and consumption or raw
materials proportionally to the amounts that would have been produced and
consumed had the run continued for a full 72 hours and the run deemed to be a
complete Test Run.

96
