HPCF Fuller Earth Filter Charging

Purpose of Fuller Earth Filter: Control fluid is used for 500 MW Turbine governing system. For smooth and trouble free operation of turbine control valves in all conditions, chemical and mechanical properties of control fluid is maintained always. Acidity of Control Fluid is to be maintained maximum of 0.1mg of KOH/gm of oil. To maintain this acidity, CF regeneration pump circulates oil through fuller earth filter.Fuller Earth Filters are used for removal of acids and soluble surface acting contaminants by adsorption. CF regeneration pump should run on continuous basis even if Control fluid pump is in stopped condition & its heater should ON/OFF on interlock. Control Fluid System consists of three numbers of filters: a) Dry Filter: It will remove dirt & water from filter. b) Fuller Earth Filter : It is used for neutralization of acidity. c) Fine Filter: It retains the finest particle of the dirt , both metallic & non-metallic impurities. Procedure of Isolat...

Normal shutdown of Boiler to Cold / Hot

Normal shutdown of Boiler to Cold : Note : In shutting down the boiler, the reduction of firing rate isdetermined by the requirement of the turbine. Do soot blowing before reducing load or keeping load more than 75 % Check HP / LP bypass operation is O.K. After soot Blowing gradually reduce load on the unit by reducing firing in the mills. Steam flow will be reduced, Allow the pressure to drop with the reduction in load. Reduce the temperature of the rate prescribed by the manufacturer for turbine but never exceeding the forced cooling rate of boiler if required to do some work on turbine or maintain MS and HRH temperature constant. Reduce coal firing to 70 % of load . Put SADC on manual to maintain wind box to furnace Dp more than 70 mmWCL. Take HP / LP bypass into service and reduce steam flow to 300 MW . Keep HP bypass atleast 25 % open to facilitate flow through Reheater. Take oil support for lower most mill (A, B,C,D). Do APH soot blowing. Reduce firin...

Guidelines of Desk Engineer

Guidelines of Desk Engineer Each Boiler and TG desk engineer is maintained in all the three shifts by an Engineer. When a Boiler and TG desk Engineer takes over charge from the former   desk Engineer, he gets himself apprised of the status of the equipments related to Boiler and TG.  He monitors the parameters and takes corrective action for any deviation of parameter. He checks whether any PTW is pending or not from SAP terminal.  During the shift, he monitors and controls the parameters by operating auxiliaries and their control system as per Manuals.  Any problem in controlling the parameter beyond his control is reported to UCE. UCE registers defects to concerned Maintenance Department through SAP notification. PTWs are issued to Maintenance Dept after ensuring isolations by UCE.  At the end of the shift, Boiler desk engineer and TGDE hands-over charge to next desk engineer and informs him the activities done during the shift.

Guidelines for UCE

Guidelines for UCE: UCE has to check the following at the beginning of the shift: Status of Mills, ID fan, FD Fan and PA fans. Status of all the unit Protections. Ensure availability of emergency equipments (only in morning shift) & for any defects concerned maintenance & DGM(O) is to be informed. Follow changeover schedule & for any defects concerned maintenance & DGM (O) is to be informed. Coal Bunker levels. ESP fields in service Auto loops in service. Boiler metal temperatures. Grid Frequency. Unit Generation. Boiler water chemistry parameters. Availability of operators at different location. Communication system. Equipments under PTW. Normal Operation During the shift UCE has to monitor parameters deviations as indicated by the Annunciation window and if required instruct the Desk Engineers to take Corrective actions as per the – Boiler operation   manuals      Turbine ope...
