ESSAR POWER GUJARAT LTD,
Charge auxiliary steam to the boiler from auxiliary boiler. Ensure proper draining of the
lines before charging .Auxiliary steam for oil heating, oil tracing lines, atomizing steam,
APH, Soot blowers should be made available.
Charge service air and instrument air to boiler, turbine, auxiliaries and off-sites.
Start CCW pumps and charge the coolers for all the equipments.
Charge HFO up to the Burner front and keep it on short recirculation.
Start DM makeup pump for taking makeup in CST.
Fill and flush all boiler circulation pumps as per operation manual.
BOILER START UP
The sequences of starting of the equipments are given below. For details refer to the
standard operating procedure of the individual equipment.
Keep the drum level +200mm stop filling and open economizer recirculation valve
(close this valve when cont. feed-water flow is built).
Start B boiler circulation pump. When the drum level decreases to lowest visible level,
shut down the pump and drum is filled again to +200mm.
After the drum level is stabilized start 2 boiler circulation pumps.
Start the air heaters one by one and keep the associated dampers open.
Start the first ID fan. Ensure that its suction & discharge dampers open to full. Also
check for the closure of the suction / discharge damper / inlet vane of the other fan.
Gradually raise the scoop and then vane of the running fan and maintain a furnace draft
of about –50Pa.
Start the corresponding FD fan (if it is not available the other FD fan can be started).
Ensure that the discharge damper of the running fan opens full and the blade pitch and
discharge damper of the non-running fan closes full.
Gradually raise the load on the FD fan. In parallel control the scoop and vane of the
running ID fan to maintain the furnace draft. (Ensure that the secondary air dampers are
open and modulating). Raise the total air flow to more than 30%, which is the purge
requirement.
Put the wind box pressure control (aux. air dampers) in auto and maintain the desired
wind box to furnace differential pressure.
Start the second ID fan. Ensure fuel opening of its suction and discharge damper.
Slowly raise the scoop and vane of the second ID fan and reduce those of the first ID
fan to equalize the loading on both fans, always maintaining the furnace draft within limits.
Start the second FD fan. Ensure that its discharge damper opens fully.
Gradually raise the blade pitch of the second FD fan and reduce that of the first FD fan
to equalize the loading on both fans maintaining the minimum air flow and normal furnace
draft.
NOTE: If so desired, the second set of ID / FD fans can be started at a later stage (after
synchronization and auxiliary supply changeover) to reduce the auxiliary power
consumption and loading on station transformer. But keeping both the fans in service is
preferable from the operation flexibility point of view. It avoids tripping of the boiler on
protection in the event of outage of one fan and reduces the furnace disturbance at a later
BOILER LIGHT UP
Start the furnace purge cycle and purging continues for 5 minutes (if the purge time is
disturbed, it should be corrected).
If the purging is interrupted due to any reason (loss of one or more of the purge
permissive), purging should be restarted.
On completion of purge (‘PURGE COMPLETE’), MFT gets reset.
Open the LDO Recirculation Valve and LDO Trip Valve.
Bring the HFO header pressure and temperature to normal value. Ensure that atomizing
steam pressure is normal.
Ensure that Burner tilt is horizontal.
Put A1 and A3 oil gun into operation (or A2 and A4) and control the oil and atomizing
steam parameter as follow:
Inlet oil pressure of oil gun 1.37MPa
Inlet atomizing steam pressure of oil gun 0.86MPa
Inlet atomizing steam temperature of oil gun 250~280 0C
Check and ensure that the burner is firing properly. In case of poor flame or a leak, take
out the burner immediately. Identify the cause and attend it.
According to boiler cold start-up curve, put the subsequence oil guns into operation
Keep the furnace draft at normal values while cutting in oil burners.
Ensure that the auxiliary air dampers of the burners in service are open.
Check the chimney exit. If excessive black smoke is observed, adjust air flow.
Start Air pre heater soot blowers. Check for any oil carry over with the help of oil carry
over probe. Inspect the air heater through the inspection doors provided on the air side.
When drum pressure reaches the following valve, carry out corresponding works:
0.1MPa flush drum local level gauge
0.2 Mpa close all vent valves (leave drain valves open)
Put HP and LP bypass system into operation. Use bypass system and
Combustion rate to control steam pressure and temperature
0.5 Mpa Compare local drum level indication with DCS display
Flush instrument tube
When drum pressure reaches about 0.5 Mpa, start charging main steam line by
gradually opening the bypass (warm up) valves of Boiler Stop Valves on both sides.
{Ensure that the main valves are not in Auto. In auto the valves gets open command when
the bypass valves are full open).
Monitor the pressure rise of MS line bypass valves to full. Open HP Bypass warm-up
valves, to warm-up the CRH lines. Observe for any abnormality (like hammering etc.) in
the system.
Open HP bypass valves partially and ensure that the pressure control valves, spray
valves and the protection system are working properly.
Monitor the pressure rise in the boiler. When the pressure exceeds 0.5Mpa, open Boiler
Stop Valves and regulate HP Bypass Valves to control the pressure. Close start-up vents.
Close HP Bypass worm-up valves.
Open LP Bypass Valves and keep it partially open at lower pressures. When the
pressure improves control the LP Bypass Valve opening so as to maintain a pr. of about 1.2
Mpa in the HRH.
When drum pressure increases to 2.07 Mpa, stop the boiler water pump continuous
filling.
Raise the boiler parameters (by controlling the firing rate) as per the requirements of
Turbine by following the allowable ramp rate.
When steam parameters reach the requirements of turbine impulse starting condition (MS
pressure-5.9 Mpa, MS temperature-340 0C, RH temperature- 300 0C,), start turbine rolling.
After turbine rolling and paralleling in, steam flow is built in RH, the flue gas limit
(538℃) is not necessary and close all drain valves, HP and LP bypass.
Close CRH, HRH and MS drains.
Carry Generator throwing off, turbine over speed protection test and Parallel in.
Open all desuperheating water manual valves.
Start one sealing air fan.
Warm up mill A as per operation manual.
Put mill system A into operation.
Increase boiler load according to the requirement of commissioning committee.
control boiler parameters-
A. Load adjustment
1) Adjust boiler load
Change the speed of coal feeders, adjust primary air flow of each mill according to mill
air/coal curve provided by manufacture and adjust hot/cold primary air ratio to keep mill
outlet temperature about 65℃.
Prior to stopping mill, thoroughly blow mill and primary air pipes.
Before putting the mill having been tripped into operation, thoroughly blow mill and
blow primary air pipes one by one to prevent the fluctuations of drum level, steam
pressure and steam temperature.
When boiler load decreases to about 45%, put oil guns into operation to stabilize
combustion.
After primary air fan recover from stall, clean up the stone box of each mill immediately.
