STEAM BLOW
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Purpose of this document is to define the steam blowing prescriptions for the HRSGs and main
steam lines for the NEW ASSIUT COMBINED CYCLE ADD-ON Power Station.
During erection of HRSGs and main steam pipes to the steam turbine it is difficult to prevent foreign
matters (mill scale, slag, welding spatter and other) remaining inside the system, in spite all
precautionary measures is taken. Furthermore formation of corrosion products or iron oxide layers
due to the heat treatments performed may be experienced.
All of these foreign materials and iron oxides shall be removed from inside the system before feeding
steam to the turbine since this debris can roughen the surface of the blades and lead to material
wear and restriction of blade channels by deforming blades edges. Deposits under the shroud bands
of the turbine blading and the destruction of sealing elements can be also expected.
Turbine strainers provide no protection against foreign matter smaller than strainer mesh size. It
cannot be excluded that large metal parts can penetrate the strainers and cause damage to the
turbine.
Steam blowing is the process carried out to remove from the steam lines all foreign materials and
iron oxide scales that convey by the steam flow admitted to the steam turbine which could damage
its blades.
The steam blowing out ensures that any debris within superheater and steam lines that might be
removed in normal operation is cleaned away by a steam blow during the commissioning of the
plant. Loose particles such as rust, scale, sand and also large foreign matters are removed through
attaining high steam velocities through the system.
The presence of debris in the steam lines after the erection completion, in form of weld beads, metal
cutting, etc. (which may be loose or adhering to side walls), will be subjected to a removal force
proportional to the drag applied by steam flow.
Under normal operating conditions, the maximum drag would occur at 100% GT.
To obtain an effective cleaning, the drag or disturbance across the surface of particles must be
increased above that occurring at the worst case operation.
The steam blowing system consist of temporary equipment (pipes, valves, silencer, instruments,
etc.) installed to perform the whole operation in safe condition according to the determined cleaning
condition to be reached.
The items concerned with the steam blowing process are typically the following:
HRSG HP/LP SHs
HP/LP main steam lines
HP/LP by-passes
Steam Seal System
The cleaning is checked by inserting a target plate into the steam flow and verifying that the impact
traces on it are less than the fixed value.
The acceptance criteria is addressed in section 13 of this document, the referenced criteria is in
accordance with steam turbine manufacturer requirements

of damaging the steam turbine due to foreign materials being carried into the turbine during normal
operation. By providing velocity force corresponding to the maximum service condition for any given
section of piping, there will be sufficient kinetic energy to ensure complete removal of any impurities
from the pipe without excessive blowdown cycles or other scheduling delays.
This procedure provides the HPSH & LPSH exits pressures and flowrates that ensure every point
along the flow path will be subjected to the maximum service dynamic pressure resulting in a
Cleaning Factor (CF) of at least 1.2 (refer to doc# GEK 110483c).

5.0 SILENCER
Noise reduction during steam blowing of steam generating plants is gaining increased importance.
During steam blowing the noise will be reduced by a silencer installed at the outlet of the temporary
blow-through pipework.
When designing the silencer it should be taken into account that it is temporary equipment with an
operating time of less than 500 hours block. The silencer should be designed for lowest reasonable
pressure loss as possible.
The system pressure will be increased due to the pressure loss in the silencer. This will lead to a
reduced disturbance factor at an unchanged firing rate which, under certain circumstances, may
have negative influence on the steam blowing result. Therefore, the pressure loss in the silencer
should be kept as low as possible. The current steam blow analysis is based on 3 bar pressure drop
for the silencer at the maximum exhaust steam flow. For the silencer general arrangement drawing
refer to document number 10083A-9-V2Z-MDNE-00005.

(AB-LV-062) discharge to the ACC drain pot which shall be isolated during steam blow, the
valve shall be closed and maintained closed during the steam blow. Also, Manual valves V046,
V047, V005, V006 shall be locked closed. Manual valve V517 shall be opened to warm-up /
drain the line as required.
Level switches on drip-legs of LP steam lines shall remain functional but shall be used only to
alarm the operator in case of drain accumulation. Such signal shall not be used during steam
blow to automatically open the drain valve. Drain valve opening shall be timed based on expert
judgment during steam blow.
Pressure shall be increased in steps, up to the required blowing pressure in order to test the
temporary lines and ancillary steam blowing components, maximum pressure of the
superheater blowing must not more than temporary piping lines design
The steam generator started up from cold shall be in accordance with the operating instructions.
Using start-up vents to control HRSG startup / steam blowing pressure raise shall be avoided in
order to avoid damaging the internals of the valves. As confirmed by GE, the diverter damper
shall be used by GE to control the HRSG startup / steam blow pressure raise.
Use of phosphate during blow is prohibited, because their carrying over from drum may affect
superheater internal surfaces leading to possible deposits that must be avoided
Pressure readings during steam blowing should be taken as close as possible to the steam
blow discharge pipe. The latter connection should be made at a convenient location not less
than twenty diameters from the discharge end of the blowpipe in order to obtain a stable
pressure reading. These readings will help substantiate the calculated HRSG pressure and pipe
sizes selected for the steam blow operation. This pressure readings together with temperature
measurement will be used in CFR verification. Temperature shall be measured in two locations;
at the HRSG outlet used in the blow (using the HRSG permanent instrumentation) and at the
beginning of the temporary piping run to indicate the header temperature (using a temporary
instrument provided for steam blow purpose).
Before the installation of the polished target plate for any of the below paths, at least 3 to 4
hours of steam blowing should be performed.
When the steam appears to be clean by visual observation, a polished target plate should be
inserted in the blowpipe discharge for each subsequent blow.
Target plate shall be kept for at least 15 to 20 minutes inside the pipe prior the check.
The target plates shall be continuously and permanently marked (e.g. with steel stamping
numerals) with the respective steam blow path.
In addition to the target plate check, the installed inspection ports should be open for visual
check.
Demineralized make up water to the cycle during steam blow will exceed the capacity of the
permanent make up system , additional temporary pump shall be installed to support
demineralized water supply during steam blow operation, the pump shall take water from the
main buffer tank to a spare nozzle on the condensate tank

Project Engineering Procedure
10083A-9-GPP-GEX-00001
During start up to limit the LP steam flow, the LP economizer recirculation set point can be
changed to produce less LP steam and then adjusted to increase LP steam flow needed
versus LP header pressure.
As the pegging steam supply drain valve (AB-LV-062) discharge to the ACC drain pot which
shall be isolated during steam blow, the valve shall be closed and maintained closed during the
steam blow. Also, Manual valves V046, V047, V005, V006 shall be locked closed. Manual valve
V517 shall be opened to warm-up / drain the line as required. HP HRSG 2C and 2D will be
disconnected upstream the bypass take off connection. After the completion of Pegging steam
line cleaning, Valve AA-PV03-301 will be opened to clean the gland steam sealing lines.
During start up to limit the LP steam flow, the LP economizer recirculation set point can be
changed to produce less LP steam and then adjusted to increase LP steam flow needed versus
LP header pressure.
Valve 2X-V001 will be regulated to keep the pressure between 6 to 9 bar on the common LP
collector.
The steam seal system must be acid cleaned. The steam blow will follow the chemical cleaning
and therefore no target plate is required. The steam seal lines will be inspected visually.
Expansion Tank activities

9.0 REPORTING
Proper steam blowing results can only be expected if the process and the steam parameters
correspond to the values indicated in table 1 and table 2
Apart from the persons and companies involved all relevant data such as:
Cleaning factor near HRSG and upstream the silencers;
steam pressure and temperature near HRSG and upstream the silencers;
GT load;
steam mass flow rate that will be indicated from feedwater and condensate water flowrate as
shown in attachment 1;
Shall be entered in tables and be ordered numerically and recorded with the number of steam blows
(check attachment 1).
The positive completion of steam blowing operations shall be entered in a record to be signed by the
plant user and EPC. By signing the record the parties involved recognize the proper completion and
positive results of steam blowing.
The following should be added to the record:
the absolute number and size of impacts per unit area, ordered in the sequence of steam
blowing operations performed;
operational records made during steam blowing;
the impact frequency distribution curve in dependence of the sum of individual steam blows
Copies of the record shall be sent to the EPC and steam turbine supplier. The original record as well
as the target plates shall be filed and be stored by the plant user.
The operating condition during steam blowing shall meet the “cleaning factor” values evaluated in
table 1 and 2. Cleaning factor shall be satisfied for every piping section in the system.
Verification sheet shall be signed by Steam turbine supplier.
During steam blowing phases, the operating conditions (pressure and temperature) on both main
and temporary pipes have to be recorded. The permanent instrumentation on the main pipes for
regular operation will be utilized, where temporary measurements are required and are not yet
foreseen, temporary instruments shall be installed and be removed after blowing.

11.0 SAFETY
Steam blowing is carried out under increased safety risks and high noise nuisance. Furthermore
plant has not yet proven its effectiveness, space is restricted (e.g. from erection scaffolding still
present) and a high number of personnel will be employed to perform numerous working activities in
a restricted time schedule. To ensure safe steam blowing operations, the following safety aspects
should be considered additionally:
Steam blowing operations shall be organized and performed by expert personnel;
prior to start steam blowing operations, a written program and check lists shall be established
and distributed to all the parties involved;
Stress analysis shall be made on temporary pipework and equipment.
HRSG and turbine building shall be evacuated and cordoned off by sufficient and informed
expert and control personnel. Between the control personnel and the control room, permanent
and reliable connections should be established
At suitable locations, danger signs shall be installed in sufficient number. Especially critical
areas shall be cordoned off by control posts and flutter bands or chains.
Steam blow exhaust jet should expand safely into a cordoned off area and not hitting any object
such as buildings, equipment, etc. After the start-up and warm-up phase the discharge
superheated steam will not be visible and will condense without forming water vapor so that
steam blowing operation at this phase will only be recognizable due to the noise generated. In
no case shall persons cross the steam blow exhaust jet for safety reasons.
Automatic inserter operation shall be managed carefully, replacement of target plates remotely
shall be held by trained personnel.
The area of the automatic inserter shall be controlled and in compliance with all required safety
measures
Temporary pipework will not be thermally insulated except in specific area where people may
access to steam blow piping zone.
The area of non-insulated pipework shall be specially identified so that persons cannot be injured
during the cooling phase of the pipework. Where required, personnel protection insulation shall be
provided.
Combustible or other dangerous or sensible materials shall not be stored in the area of
temporary pipework and equipment during steam blowing due to possible danger of ignition or
damage caused by thermal radiation.
Persons present in the area of increased noise level shall wear suitable ear protection
equipment.
