minimally to keep the pressure below 5500mmwc. Wall seal blower has a safety valve in the discharge piping
at the back side, it is adjusted at 5400 – 5500mmwc. The settings of this safety valve should not be disturbed.
Always keep the exhaust fan in wall seal blower acoustic hood in running condition to provide good
ventilation for the blower and the motor. Incase of any problem with the exhaust fan, the acoustic hood doors
to be kept opened when the blower in running condition.

66. Note: The firing rate should be controlled until steam flow through superheater is established.
68. Start BFP & line up feed water system. (Keeping FW flow through HPHs.)
69. 40% FCV to be taken in service & if it can’t be taken in service then only100% FCV can be taken in service.
71. Close drum vents at 2.5 kg/cm² pressure..

72. It is advisable to start feeding the bed material inside the combustor after raising drum pressure above 1.5
kg/cm2. As the boiler drum level fluctuation will be more during startup, up to 1.5 kg/cm2 due to swelling
effect, fans may trip on drum level fluctuation.
73. Check all the bed pressure readings are showing 0 mmwc when there is no bed material inside the combustor.
Also note down the wind box pressure during this time. Slowly increase the PA air flow to 40 TPH and note
down the wind box pressure after obtaining 40 TPH air flow.
74. Slowly start adding Sieved Bed material (Either fresh or used one) If old bed material is used after sieving, it
should be checked visibly that there is no unburnt carbon present in it. Also note down that wet Bed material
should not be used. During bed material feeding, if for any reason the PA fans trip, the feeding to be stopped
immediately and should be started only after obtaining 40 TPH air flow through PA fans. Keep the cold
primary air damper tor stripper cooler in closed conation when running with only one PA Fan.
75. Charge both the stipper with bed material.

84. When slight amount of steam will start to flow from drains then throttle the drains and slowly open (inching)
MV 035. Close by pass v/v.
85. Coal firing to be initiated when the Bed temperature reaches 550 deg.C.
86. Initially coal to be sprinkled and bed temperature to be slowly raised, also O2 in flue gas to be monitored and
to be maintained always more than 5 % till obtaining bed temperature around 850 deg.C.
87. While carrying out coal firing the return leg temperature to be noted down, it should not be 100 deg.C below
the bed temperature. Also presence of suction through the pockets of the return leg to be checked and flow
of material inside the combustor will be visible through these pockets when the bed temperature reaches
around 800 deg.C. If suction is not present in the pockets or the return leg temperature is very less then air
flow to the lift and down legs to be momentarily raised by using bypass on the lift and down leg pipe line.
Care should be taken during this process that if the wall seal blower discharge pressure reduces below
3500mmwc for a period of 20 seconds then the boiler will trip. The settings of the Ball valve after the flow
orifice of wall seal blower line in lift leg and down leg of RHS and LHS is set once by the OEM and should not
be disturbed. If the return leg temperature is very less, it indicates improper flow of return material or the
seal is empty. In this case please contact the OEM for any further adjustments if needed.
89. When slight amount of steam will start to flow from drains then throttle the drains and slowly open (inching)
Main steam stop Valve MV 043. Keep a close look on drum level. After full opening of main steam stop valve

8. Cold start up sequence:
1. Start filling of Boiler by running DM transfer pump & filling up .If de-aerator in service Water can be taken
through starting the BFP’s
2. Stop filling when drum level increases to <= 20 % But not less than 10%.
3. Start-up one IDF A or B side then start the corresponding opposite corner FDF A or B side before that Start
respective ID Fan and FD Fan lube oil system.(Refer to Doc No For FD F & ID F start up )
4. In all fans lube oil system Start one lube oil pump & put other stand by pump in auto (Please ensure cooling
water line in charge condition, lube oil tank level must be <=75%, pressure should be maintained 2.4 bar and
maintained oil level at both bearing side <75%).
5. After starting of one FDF & IDF maintain the air flow around 30% (1,00,000 m³/hr to 1, 20,000 m³/hr) of the
total air flow (4,00,000 m³/hr).Ensure Furnace draft should be maintained between -2 to -5 mmWC.
6. Put the furnace purging for 10-15 min.
7. Start one Scanner air fan & check the pressure should be between 6 to 7 KPa. Put the other stand by fan in
Auto interlock.
8. Start LDO supply pump and put in long recirculation mode, check the oil pressure (10 to15 bars) in Boiler
floor of 12 meter
9. Start all Mill lube oil system after mill lube oil temperature reaches 40-45 deg (Start the heaters to raise the
lube oil temperature to 40-45 deg )
10. After ensuring boiler ignition conditions are satisfied, open main fuel oil valve, get ready to ignite the
furnace
11. Start ignition after receiving the order
· The lower oil guns should receive priority when applying oil guns.
· Apply oil guns on the cross.
· Change over oil guns regularly.
i. .Operate or change over oil guns depending on firing condition & carefully watch
for Drum metal temperature difference not >50 0C.

12. Open drain valves of super heaters.
13. Oil gun should be circulating for evenly raising the temperature. Temperature raise should be 1.5 deg C / min
Up to drum pressure 1-2 kg/cm2
14. Wait for pressure raise of 3 bars close all vent at 42 m and Super heater drain to be closed.
15. Wait for pressure raise of 3 bar, open start up vent.
16. Wait for pressure raise of 10 bars, kill the fire & go for HOT blow down, Drum man hole door bolt tightness to
be done if required.
17. Again boiler should be light up with same sequence.
18. Wait for pressure raise of 10bar and temperature 220 deg C charge the PRDS.
19. Starts the HFO pump observe the pressure boiler floor should be 15-20 bar by putting the long recirculation
mode.(For HFO pump start up follow the SOP -49 804 3P )
20. Wait for flue gas temperature raise >250 deg C take HFO gun into service. Oil gun should be circulating for
evenly raising the temperature.
21. Wait for flue gas temperature raise >500 deg C start PA fan & take mill into service.(for starting the mill
minimum 03 oil burners should be in adjacent elevation)
22. Start another ID Fan & FD Fan and maintain the furnace draft.
23. When ESP inlet temperature >120 deg C, Charge the ESP fields one by one.
