PLANT DETAILS

Auxiliary steam system is designed to provide steam for theturbine auxiliaries, boiler auxiliaries and fuel oil heating systemduring start-up, low loads and normal running of units.

The system comprises of two auxiliary steam pressure reducingand desuperheating stations (PRDS). One High capacity PRDSwith tapping off steam from main steam line to meet auxiliary

steam requirements during unit start-up, low loads, fuel oil systemand F.O. wagon unloading and the other Low Capacity PRDSwith tapping off steam from CRH line to meet auxiliary steamrequirements during normal running. Spray water required fordesuperheating will be tapped off from boiler feed pumpdischarge.

These two stations will reduce the pressure and temperature ofthe steam tapped off from CRH line and main steam line to16Kg/ cm2 (abs) & 3200C at the high temperature auxiliary steamheader and subsequently to 16 Kg/ cm2 (abs) & 2100C at the low

temperature auxiliary steam header through a suitabledesuperheater between the high temperature and lowtemperature auxiliary steam headers.

.

Auxiliary steam system is normally operating on unit basis,however auxiliary steam system of both the units areinterconnected through HT and LT auxiliary steam headers, sothat unit start-up requirement of one unit can be met from otherunit or vice-versa.

An auxiliary boiler has been envisaged for initial start-up of theunit and fuel oil heating. For starting the units, boiler has to run on

light oil and steam thus generated will be used for unit start-up.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this procedure is to commission the AuxiliarySteam system and make it available for Unit operation.

All manual valves in the system are erected and their freeoperation ensured.

Required local/Remote instrumentation inputs are madeavailable. (List to be prepared at site)

METHOD

(Refer Drg.No. PE-DG-186-100-0107)

Commissioning of L.T Auxiliary Steam Header ThroughAuxiliary Boiler

Prepare and put the auxiliary boiler under Steaming condition at

around 25% of its MCR rating

Charge slowly the Steam line from auxiliary boiler up to L.T.auxiliary steam header in main boiler. All the required drains andvents are lined up before charging and all the outgoing valvesfrom the Auxiliary headers are Kept closed.

(Charging done through AS-56, As-48 and AS-47)

While charging, increase the fuel loading of the auxiliary boilersufficiently to warm up the line as well as to gradually pressurizethe system.

The L.T. auxiliary header is charged to around 14-16 KSC at 200-2100C.

After attaining more or less a steady condition, Steam blowing of

a) Steam line to SCAPH and

b) Steam line to F.O. Atomisation carried out.

Suitable steam exhaust provisions are made for the above twocircuits and steam blown for about 10 minutes for two times witha time gap of 15 minutes between the blows.

Valves AS-45 and the individual system inlet valves are used forthis blowing. After completion of steam blowing of the above twosystem, (Sec.8.5) the steam lines are normalized with thesystem.

Steam line to Deaerator pegging will be steam blown on similar

lines as enplaned above. Alternatively, this line can be steamblown by charging L.T. auxiliary steam header through HC/LCsteam lines from M.S line / CRH lines respectively.

Since AH Soot blowing is required during initial oil firing onwards,AH sootblower steam line connected to H.T. Unit Aux. Steam Hdris steam blown by charging steam from Auxiliary Boiler via H.T.
