Dadri-1: Mill c/o guidelines
Mill starting procedure :
·
Clearance from local
operator is to be recorded before starting mill.
·
Ensure feeder coal on belt
is established.
·
Ensure ignition permit is available.
·
Open bunker outlet &
feeder inlet gate.
·
Start Mill LOP and observe
lub oil pressure , temperature and flow.
·
Open CAG ( CADshould be
closed), monitor PA header pressure.
·
Start Mill and monitor its
current (60-65 Amp normal current).
·
Open feeder seal air valve
& feeder outletgate.
·
Open HAG,( HAD should be
closed), monitor PA header pressure.
·
Observe boiler flame
intensity during mill operation.
Dadri: biomass Operating Procedure
1)
Mill Operating Parameters and
Operation procedure: -
Ø
Maintain
Mill outlet temperature-> 55 C
Ø
Mill
inlet temperature -> not more than 180 C
Ø
Observe
all 4 coal pipe temperature of Mills with biomass regularly. In case of any
deviation from rest of the pipes (any abrupt rise or fall), stop the mill and
give PTW for inspection.
Ø
Pre
start and post shutdown purging of mill is mandatory.
Ø
Continuous
monitoring of mill parameters most importantly mills inlet air temperature, mill
outlet temperature, mill current and mill DP.
Ø
Mill
inlet temperature should not be more than 180 C in any case
Ø
Mill
reject system to be kept under observation continuously
Ø
Operator
should be deployed at local for monitoring in wake of fire hazard.
Ø
In
case of fire, mill should be tripped and steam inerting should be done
immediately by opening steam interting motorized valve, keeping watch on
furnace pressure. Fire tender may also
be used if required.
Ø
Clinkering
and slagging tendency to be observed from local as well as from rise in SH zone
FG temperature. Soot blowing and LRSB to be done accordingly.
