1. Normal Procedure:
The steam blowout will be carried out by discontinuous / puffing method using steam from the
HRSG, i.e., no separate source of steam will be used.
One blow is planned for every 4 hours in respective circuit, in order to reduce the temperature of
steam piping, before the next planned blow.
This technique will give thermal shock to the contour being purged to loosen and dislodge the scale
and other debris, which will be subsequently carried by expanding steam and the flow, to the
atmosphere.
In order to ensure physical integrity of HRSG equipment and to achieve the proper efficiency, the
CFR will be maintained in between 1.2 and 1.7.
With above requirements the following steam blowing parameters has been decided for this project:
However, finalization of the parameters mentioned above are subjected to approval from CMI.
