ESP Pass Isolation & Normalisation

Pass Isolation Procedure
Preconditions:

  • No. of ESP fields out of service >2 in the respective pass
  • Continuously rap for at least 1 hour before FG side Isolation
  • Evacuation of ESP Hoppers are to insured online as far as possible
  • Status of Hopper Heaters are checked
  • Defect list pertaining to the pass wrt ESP(CERM,EERM,Hopper Leakage, DLI etc) , Ash Handling system(Valve Opening Problem, Flange Leakages, Gasket Leakages, CT Leakages, Seal Box Leakage)
  • Note Down the Current and Voltage of All Fields and fill the log-sheet

    Isolation Procedure

    • Close Inlet & Outlet FG Damper of respective pass
    • Switch off all Electrical Fields from CCR
    • Stop rapping after 1 hour of continuous rapping
    • Isolate Electrical fields and lock & Earthing done.
    • FG outlet Dampers to be kept 10% Open and then Electrical Isolation of Inlet and Outlet Dampers is to be carried out
    • Hopper Heater, shaft & Support Insulation Heater Power supply to be switched off
    • Issue PTW to AHD
    • AHD to open manhole, Observe ID Fan loading after manhole opening
    • Now Pass is Completely Isolated and Cooling under Progress. Maintenance can be done 
    Pass Normalization Procedure

    • All Hoppers are Empty
    • Shut-off Vacuum checked with air intake valve closed, it should be >=300-350 mm Hg
    • All air intake valve passing checked(if manhole was opened)through the manhole
    • Check PTW is cancelled
    • Normalize Power supply of Inlet & Outlet Dampers
    • Open the Outlet Damper fully to check air tightness of Hopper manholes & Casing manholes
    • Normalize Hopper Heater, shaft & Support Insulation Heater Power supply 
    • Charge all Fields
    • Check Pass Evacuation System in service on Auto mode & all Hoppers mouths are clean monitored by vacuum drop(<line vacuum)
    Pass Charging Procedure

    • Outlet Dampers are already Open
    • Open the inlet Dampers one-by-one and allow the Flue gas to pass through the pass
    • Monitor the Id fan outlet temperature of that side & Observe that is dropping
    • After sometime, this temperature will increase again
    • Normalize Rapping motors power supply and Put it on Auto mode
    • Note Down the Current and Voltage of All Fields and fill the log-sheet & Compare
