Boiler Light-Up Program
Prior to Boiler light-up, charge PRDS from neighbouring unit & start HFO tank
heating,both LDOpumps .When HFO tank temperature reaches 50 deg.,start
both HFO pumps.
Start Air heater,ID&FD fans,adjust air flow to around 30% i.e.@ 750 to 800
T/Hr. Bring wind box to furnace DP 40 mmwclby adjusting SADC.
Take +300mm drum level & start one BCWpump, Drum level will drop, bring it to
+ 100mm & start second BCWpump
Now, maintain drum level to -200 mm before Light-up so as to avoid excess
draining of DM water during swelling & saving in heat energy.
00.00Hr:-Initiate furnace purge.After completion of ( 9 minutes) purging, Lightup the Boilerwith AB elevation(LDO-4 guns ) with LDO pressure 8
kg/cm2.Maintain firing rate such that drum metal tempearature rise is @ 1.5 to 2
deg./min. Start one CEP.&Start vacuum pulling activity at the same time.After
achieving vacuum of @640 mm of Hg, open Turbine side drains going to flash
tank and close CRH AND HRH ATMOSPHERIC drains. Try to achieve maximum
attainable vacuum before starting steam conditioning.
01.20Hr.-At drum pressure 2kg/cm2, close drum vents , S/H vents& R/H
vents. Keep start-up vents throttled.Take second Elevation guns ( CD elevation
) in service with HFO when hot air temp. at wind box ( i. e. Outlet temp. of
secondary air heaters ) is @ 80- 100 deg..
01.50Hr.At drum pressure 5kg/cm2,close S/H drains at 26 Mtr. Level (9
drains).Open Boiler outlet main valves bypass valvesMS-202 & 204 (Ensure MS
atmospheric drains should be crack open at Turbine side.) and start MS line
charging with bypass valves.After complete opening of bypass valves, open fully
MS-201 & MS-203, by inching operation gradually. After full charging of
MSline,checkAIR IS SUCKING through CRH atmospheric drain by slightly
opening it and close it again. Start steam conditioning by opening HP-LP
BYPASS valves .Start 2ndCEP.Closestart-up vents after establishing steam flow
through REHEATER. At 7kg/cm2 drum pressure, start 3RDBCW pump ( OR take
opportunity to start 3RDpump whenever excess swelling of drum level & same
can be used vice-versa while drum level sudden drop.)
02.20Hr:-Atdrum pressure 10 kg/cm2, give pegging steam to deaerator& start
MDBFP on recirculation.
02.20Hr:-Atdrum pressure 10 kg/cm2, startBoiler blow down by killing Boiler
fire. During blow down, maintain drum level& initiate furnace purge at the
earliest.
02.35Hr:-Light-up the boiler, after purging & completion of blow down, with AB
elevation. Ensure vacuum of 640 mm of Hg & opening of Turbine side drains
going to flash tank.
Keep MS atmospheric drain crack open. Start second CEP.
02.45Hr:-Open HP-LPbypass after ensuring warm-up valve operation & no
water is coming throughCRH atmospheric drain, start steam conditioning for
fulfilling the temperature.criterias for Turbine.Take second Elevation guns ( CD
