3.2 Combined cycle
Exhausted from turbine, the flue gas into bypass inlet flue duct three way dampers
bypass outlet flue ductinlet flue duct of HRSG. In the inlet flue duct, the flue flow is
changed from horizontal to vertical, up into boiler body to flush the 3 rd layer modules, 2nd
layer modules and 1st layer modules and finally exhausted to the air through the outlet flue
duct and chimney.
3rd layer modules: HP superheater 2 (SHP2), HP superheaters 1 (SHP1);
2nd layer modules: HP vaporizer (VHP), HP coal economizer 3 (EHP3), LP superheater
(SLP), HP coal economizer 2 (EHP2)
1st layer modules: LP vaporizer (VLP), HP coal economizer 1 (EHP1), preheater (PREH)
4. Steam and water process

The HRSG has three pressure stages; According to the pressure, it can be divided as the
following:
4.1 DEAE system: after passing preheater, the cooling condensing water from
condenser goes into deaerator to deoxygenate;
4.2 LP system: a part of water from deaerator through LP FDW pump goes into LP drum
to separate water and steam; after separated, the saturated water will be back to
downcomers. LP saturated steam will be led out from LP saturated steam outlet pipe at
upper LP drum and then into LP superheaters and finally into turbine LP cylinder for
power;
4.3 HP system: the HP FDW pump will supply another part of feeding water from
deaerator into HP coal economizer 1 (EHP1), HP coal economizer 2 (EHP2) and HP coal
economizer 3 (EHP3); after heated, the water into HP drum. The water, which into HP
drum, will be led into HP vaporizer through VHP downcomers; after evaporated and heat
absorbed, up into HP drum for steam and water separation. Then the separated
saturated water will be back to downcomer. The HP saturated steam will be led out from
HP saturated steam outlet pipe at upper HP drum and then into HP superheater 1,
desuperheater 1 and into HP superheater 2 and finally into turbine HP cylinder for power
as the HP overheated steam.

4.4.2 Exhaust process of Flue gas system

4.4.2.1 During simple cycle, the flue gas at outlet of gas turbine will be exhausted to the air
through bypass chimney after passing the bypass inlet flue gas duct;
4.4.2.2 During combined cycle, the flue gas at outlet of gas turbine will be supplied to HRSG
after passing bypass inlet flue gas duct and finally exhausted into air through the main
chimney of HRSG;
4.4.3 Main parts illumination of flue gas system
4.4.3.1 Bypass inlet flue gas duct
The bypass inlet flue gas duct connects the gas turbine outlet spread section with
HRSG bypass system and at the dividing point, a nonmetal soft expansion joint is set
to absorb the displacement during hot running;
4.4.3.2 3-way dampers
3-way damper will divide the flue gas into bypass chimney or HRSG according to
operating mode requirements and at the same time, connect the inlet and outlet flue
duct with bypass flue gas muffle;
4.4.3.3 Bypass flue gas muffle

Bypass flue gas muffle connects 3-way dampers and bypass chimney, which is made
up of stainless steel sheet with damping material inside. The muffle can reduce the
gas turbine exhaust noise created during simple cycle;
4.4.3.4 Bypass chimney
When simple cycle adopted, the waste gas from gas turbine will be exhausted into air
through bypass chimney. The chimney adopts inner heat preservation structure and
carbon steel plates are used in outside shell. Also the steps and platforms for
maintenance are equipped;
4.4.3.5 Bypass outlet flue duct/dead plate
Bypass outlet flue duct/ dead plate connects bypass system and inlet flue duct of
HRSG. The flue duct adopts inner heat preservation structure. When turbine under
running but the boiler needs maintenance, for safety, the dead plates are erected to
isolate flue gas at the end of bypass outlet flue duct. During combined cycle normal
running, the dead plates will be isolated from flue ducts;
4.4.3.6 Boiler flue duct
Boiler flue duct connects GT outlet flue duct and HRSG and distribute the flue gas to
all heating surfaces of boiler equably. At the dividing point, a nonmetal soft expansion
joint is set to absorb adown and ahead displacement created in boiler hot running,
which has large absorbing capacity, shock insulation, noise reduction and other
advantages;

The steel chimney inner diameter is 5000mm and made up of 16mm~10mm steel
plates;
4.4.3.9 Climate damper
In boiler chimney, the electric chimney dampers are erected to isolate HRSG from
atmosphere to retain the HRSG temperature as long as possible after shutdown. At
the same time, the climate dampers can prevent rain and release the pressure.
The electric chimney dampers have mechanical safety functions to prevent damaging
HRSG and GT. If over pressure appears in HRSG, the dampers can be opened;
4.4.3.10 Structure illumination of boiler flue duct
Boiler adopts complete seal structure. The inlet flue duct, vertical flue duct and outlet
duct of boiler are frame cover made up of U shape steel plates. The frame cover is
connected with HRSG steal structure to hold the boiler seal performance and also
increase the rigidity of HRSG.
At the bottom frame cover of horizontal flue duct, an exhaust port is set. When HRSG
stopped, we can check the leakage of HRSG pressure-containing members through
exhaust port;
At the place where header goes through frame cover, an expansion joint is set to
maintain the tightness and overall performance of frame cover and allow the header
to have some expansion displacement compared to frame cover.

HRSG System Operation
Article 1 LP steam and water system

1. General Situation
LP steam and water system makes the FDW from LP FDW system circulation in drum. The
saturated steam by vaporizing goes into superheaters to create superheating steam for
turbine LP cylinder, which includes LP FDW system, CV system and LP steam superheating
system. LP FWD system feeds water to LP drum through LP FDW pump which also
provides the backwash water to LP boiler steam headers.
At the outlet of preheater, a recirculation loop and 2 recirculation pumps are equipped, one
for service, one for backup, which can increase the inlet water temp. of preheater to prevent
the condensation on the surface of fin pipes. LP circulating steam system is made up of
drum, one downcomer, LP vaporizer and 12 risers, whose min. circulating times >15.
2. Recirculation pump of preheater

2x 100% constant speed recirculation pump of preheaters: The min. flow for continuous
running but not damaging is 25% of rated flow (the 1 st critical speed of FDW pump should
be 150% higher than the speed corresponding to design working point)
Cooling water quality: the working oil coolers for FDW pumps motors and lub oil coolers
adopt closed cooling water. Under design working conditions, the cooling water temp. is
19 ; under check working conditions, the cooling water temp. is 32 and under hot
season working condition, the cooling water temp. is 46 .

Article 9 Local boiler drum level meter wash

1.
Regulations of periodical local level meter wash:

In order to ensure the local boiler drum level meter indication clear and correct, the steam
and water connecting pipes smooth, the level meters should be washed periodically.
When level meters indication not clear or level held, the meters should be wash in time. At
present, the regulations are as the following:
2. Wash period of local level meters:

The local boiler drum level meters should be washed periodically in each month. If boiler
shutdown, postpone the time and make record;
3. The wash principles and procedures:

3.1 Open the water discharging valves slowly to wash the steam connecting pipes,
water connecting pipes and level meters by steam and water;
3.2 Close the water side connecting valves of level meter to make the steam connecting
pipe and level meters be washed by steam;
3.3 Open the water side connecting valves of level meter and close the steam side
connecting valves to make the water connecting pipes be washed by water;
3.4 Open steam side connecting valves and close water discharge valves to recover the
level meters normal operation;
4. Precautions of local level meters wash:

4.1 It is forbidden to close steam and water side connecting valves at the same time. If closed
at the same time, the steam and water can not be into level meters at the same time and
the level meters will be cooled fast. When cooling air back sucked into level meter
through water discharge valves, the cooling speed will be faster. When open steam or
water side connecting valves again, the level meters will be damaged caused by heavy
differential temp.
4.2 When flush level meters under working pressure, the water discharge valves should be
opened small; because pressure in level meter is very different with environmental
pressure, if the water discharge valves opened widely, the steam and water flow will be
very fast caused by expansion and results the mica lamination damage or level meters
explosion;
4.3 When wash meters, pay attention to human safety and prevent steam and water burning
human. The personnel should stand at side of meter and forecast the dodge direction
and way;
4.4 The level should be washed one by one and the washing personnel should strengthen the
communication with supervisors; and the supervisors should focus on drum level variety
and make accidents forecast about drum level high, low and HRSG trip;
5. Demonstration of level flush:

There are 3 local level meters on HP and LP drum of HRSG respectively but the wash
steps are the same. Now we take local Lv. meter C on HP drum #1 as an example:
5.1 Open local Lv. meter C primary drain valve on HP drum #1 fully and slowly open local Lv.
meter C secondary drain valves on HP drum #1 to make steam side and water side
connecting pipes and local Lv. meter C be washed by steam and water for 1min;
5.2 Close local Lv. meter C secondary drain valve at steam side on HP drum #1 and then
local Lv. meter C secondary drain valve at water side on HP drum #1. Pay attention to the
time to ensure the valves closed at the same time.
5.3 Open local Lv. meter C secondary drain valve at steam side on HP drum #1 slightly to
make the steam connecting pipes and level meter be washed by steam for 30s.
5.4 Close local Lv. meter C secondary drain valve at steam side on HP drum #1 and open
local Lv. meter C secondary drain valve at water side on HP drum #1 slightly to wash
water connecting pipes for 30s.
5.5 Open local Lv. meter C secondary drain valve at steam side on HP drum #1 and local Lv.
meter C secondary drain valve at water side on HP drum #1. Pay attention to the time to
ensure the valves closed at the same time.
5.6 Close local Lv. meter C secondary drain valve on HP drum #1 and then the primary drain
valves on HP drum #1. After the wash finished, recover Lv. meter normal operation.

Article 3 Maintenance after shutdown

1. Purpose
1.1 If the intervals of unit startup is longer (over a week), the valid measures must be taken to
prevent thermal equipments damaged by rust, rotating machines stuck and so on to make the
unit under normal cold backup state;
Notice: RH will be changed with environmental temp., so it should be surveyed or
concluded according to survey charts at min. temp.
2. Scope and measures

2.1 Maintenance
2.1.1 Scope
1) Boiler drum, heating surface and other contacting pipes;
2) FDW system
Measures:
<1> Partial wet/ Nitrogen blanketing protection;
<2> Dry Nitrogen blanketing protection
<3> Completely wet protection (available after hydraulic set);
2.2 Safety Key points
Nitrogen is very dangerous; human maybe die if into fulfilled nitrogen drum;
When drum need clean, open all manholes and before into drum the drum should be
blew by air for 2 days;
When check in drums, the one should accompanied by some others, so if some
problems, the alarm can be reported at any time;
Pay attention that Nitrogen can be spread, so the operators in plant should take
relative safety measures;
If there is no proper maintenance during boiler shutdown, it will be eroded heavily. If
there is a ferric oxide layer, the metal surface wont be rusted easily;
The boiler corrosion is oxygen corrosion whose type is the anomalistic oxidized
streak located on metal surface;

During boiler shutdown, if the maintenance not proper, the electrochemical reaction
will be acting:
- Oxidation: Fe>Fe2+ +2e-
(1)
- Reduction: 2H+ +2e- >H2
(2)
O2+4e- +2H2O>4 OH-
(3)
When ferrum contacts water, the reaction (1) will be acting. When metal (anode)
absorb negative electron, Fe 2+ will be water-soluble and after the metal polar has
polarity, the reaction will be stopped;
On surface of metal (cathode), reaction (2) and (3) will be acting;
The balance of the reactions will be decided by OH - concentration (water pH value) in
the water. Moreover, reaction (3) can be decided by oxygen content;
The electron from anode (reaction 1) has tendency to into metal cathode: reaction (1)
balance will be broken and the ion will be water-soluble continuously to be Fe 2+;
2.3. General principles

According to above theories, only when water and oxygen exist at the same time, the
corrosion will happen. The two below measures can remove one of the two factors:
Corrosion
Speed
- Nitrogen blanketing wet maintenance

- Nitrogen blanketing dry maintenance
Which maintenance measure will be adopted is decided by purpose and boiler
shutdown time;
If it is shut down for short time, such as weekend shutdown, because certain
pressure kept, no maintenance is needed;
When temp. below zero, in order to anti-freeze, dry protection must be adopted. From
other view points, dry protection has a special disadvantage, viz. refeed water into
boiler before boiler startup. So the water demand is huge and it will take long time to
recover original boiler load. This measure will be adopted for long time shutdown;
Partial wet protection has obvious advantage: no drain water in boiler, so it is easy to
recover the original load;
The general principle of shutdown maintenance is to prevent boiler water causing
metal oxidizing. If partial wet protection adopted, according to boiler water quality,
when over certain period, take water draining and then adopt dry protection;
For scheduled shutdown, the proper maintenance should be chosen according to
shutdown time before shutdown and then confirm the preparation: chemical dosing
for boiler water, Nitrogen supply and so on;
Important Notice: No matter wet or dry protection adopted, hot flue gas is not allowed into
HRSG.
3 Wet protection
Two Types:
Complete wet protection and partial wet Nitrogen blanketing protection
3.1 Complete wet protection
3.1.1 Standard:
Only used after hydraulic set;

3.1.2 Time limit
It is properly used when shutdown time within 6 weeks and pH value over 10.5, so it is
better to take DM water and dosing ammonia as (150ppm, to rise pH value) hydraulic set
water;
If the succedent boiler commissioning takes place after 6 weeks, water drain must be
taken and then adopt dry Nitrogen blanketing protection;
3.2 partial wet Nitrogen blanketing protection
3.2.1 Standard:
It is properly used after shutdown or maintenance (examines and repairs) and the climate
conditions permitted (if air temp. low, dry protection adopted)
3.2.2 Time limit
In order to prevent static water stayed in boiler for long time, the protection time limit is 2
weeks normally according to boiler water chemical characteristics;
Main parameters are the pH value and oxygen content in FDW and boiler drum water.
The protection limit is as the following table:
pH value
Oxygen content
limit
<20ppb
2 weeks
>20ppb
Dry Nitrogen blanketing

protection
9<pH<10
If the shutdown time over above limit, water drain must be taken and dry Nitrogen blanketing
protection should be adopted.
4. Nitrogen blanketing
During Nitrogen blanketing, the furnace pressure should be 10-50 mbar more than
atmosphere pressure;
Whether Nitrogen blanketing will be adopted can be decided before
boiler shutdown, so Nitrogen blanketing will be started boiler hot
state;
If Nitrogen blanketing started under cold state (unintended shutdown), special Nitrogen
blanketing in instruction book should be undertaken;
4.1 Nitrogen blanketing operation under boiler hot state
4.1.1 Before boiler unloading
At 2h before boiler unloading, dose NH 3 to ensure boiler water pH value over 10, so the
being shutdown boiler water quality will be good. Pay attention that if condenser
materials have aldary, pH value should be controlled at 9.2, so the partial wet nitrogen
blanketing maintenance time just is 2 weeks. Moreover, if aluminum contained in any part
of condenser or steam and water circulation, the chemicals should be decided by
chemical personnel research because of special requirements;
The secondary operation at 2h before boiler unloading is open continuous blowdown
valves of drums to remove the slat and alkali dissolved in boiler water furthest before
boiler maintenance;
Continuous blowdown valves of HP drum: 11HAA10 AA408
Continuous blowdown valves of LP drum: 11HAA30 AA408
4.1.2 Boiler shutdown
Reduce GT load and isolate HRSG and turbine through steam bypass station;
4.1.3 Boiler cooling down
Through steam bypass, control HP and LP drum pressure drop gradient (max.:
-2bar/min, make the inner pressure of shutdown boiler drum down to 10bar (psig);
4.1.4 Isolation of boiler
In boiler control room, operators transfer boiler to shutdown maintenance to prevent
water draining and air relief during pressure down. During boiler shutdown, water
draining and air relief valves should be closed and the drums should be isolated from
phosphate dosing system;
During shutdown, the following water drain and air relief valves should be kept on
close position:
Inlet water drain valve of HPS 2: 11HAH11AA402
HP steam water drain valve: 11LBA70AA402
LP steam water drain valve: 11LBA80AA402

Main steam isolating valves must be closed:
HP main steam isolating valve: 11LBA70AA001
LP main steam isolating valve: 11LBA80AA001
FDW isolating valves must be closed:
HP FDW pump outlet isolating valves: 11LAB11AA003, 11LAB12AA003, 11LAB13AA003
LP
FDW
pump
outlet
isolating
valves:
11LAB31AA003,
11LAB32AA003,
11LAB33AA003
Drums continuous blowdown valves must be closed:
HP Drums continuous blowdown valve: 11HAA10 AA408
LP Drums continuous blowdown valve: 11HAA30 AA408
4.1.5 Nitrogen blanketing
The nitrogen blanketed can be supplied by fixed or mobile devices which should be
connected with nitrogen blanketing pipes and at the nitrogen supply side, pressure
reducing valves should be equipped;
If the safety can be ensured, the soft pipes which can support 10-50 mbar nitrogen
pressure can be used to connect nitrogen valves with boiler proper nitrogen blanketing
points. When boiler pressure within 2-5bar (psig), the nitrogen pipes should be fixed
and nitrogen blanketing isolating valves should be opened to prevent air in when boiler
pressure and temp. down;
Open HP drum nitrogen blanketing valve: 11HAH10 AA452
Open LP drum nitrogen blanketing valve: 11HAH30 AA452
Open deaerator nitrogen blanketing valve: 11LCA90 AA452
Open preheater nitrogen blanketing valve: 11LCA70 AA452
Open HPE nitrogen blanketing valve: 11LAB20 AA002
With steam condensed and furnace pressure down, nitrogen will be sucked into
equipments;
The most important point of succeeding nitrogen blanketing is ensuring the boiler
sealed completely. If seal not good, nitrogen will be lost due to leakage;
Moreover, nitrogen content should be 1% lower than oxygen content (as volume ratio);
In order to get the above requirements, keep drum nitrogen pressure over atmosphere
a little bit (10-50mbar);
4.1.6 Operation during boiler shutdown
During HRSG shutdown maintenance, check the water quality and nitrogen periodically;
As far as boiler under warm state, steam in superheaters and steam pipes will be kept
on condensed; due to the volatility of ammonia, condensing water pH value is lower than
drum water pH value, so the anti-corrosion ability against superheaters is weak;
Open the following superheaters drain valves for a few minutes to drain out the
condensing water and then close the valves:
HPS 2 inlet drain valve: 11HAH11 AA402
HP main steam drain valve: 11LBA70 AA402
LP main steam drain valve: 11LBA80 AA402
4.1.7 Transferred to dry nitrogen blanketing protection
If the shutdown time of HRSG exceeds above max. period (2 weeks according to
chemical characteristics of boiler water), the boiler is required to discharge water
completely and to be kept under dry nitrogen blanketing state. At this time, we suggest
closing all manual isolating valves for instruments, water drain and steam exhaust pipes
to ensure boiler air tightness;
4.1.8 Water quality requirements
This partial wet maintenance mode is adequate for short-time shutdown and the
sampling and analysis should be taken every week;
The water quality requirements during boiler shutdown:
4.1.8.1 pH value over 10 or within 9 and 10 and oxygen content lower than 20ppb;
4.1.8.2 CL-<2ppm
4.1.8.3 SO41ppm
4.1.8.4 NaOH<0.5ppm
It should be avoided to deviate from above target heavily or long time to ensure good
protection for boiler;
4.2 Partial wet nitrogen blanketing protection under cold state
When this protection used under cold state, the following steps should be taken to ensure
boiler air exhausted out:
4.2.1 Feed DM water (pH value over 10) into drum to high high level;
4.2.2 Blanket Nitrogen into superheaters and air exhausted from main steam drain pipes:
blanket nitrogen intermittently till oxygen content below 1%. Enough nitrogen pressure is
required during the operations;
4.3 Steps of dry nitrogen blanketing under cold state
4.3.1 Used standard: it is used in long-time shutdown situation, which can not only be used
directly after boiler shutdown, also can be used after partial wet protection or boiler
maintenance;
If environmental temp. below zero and boiler parts are easy to be frozen to affect safety,
dry protection can be used;
4.3.2 Dry protection is not limited by shutdown time;
4.4 Operations sequence:
4.4.1
Before shutdown:
At 2h before boiler unloading, open drum continuous blowdown valves fully to
discharge water-soluble slat and alkali. Before boiler shutdown, dose phosphate all
the time into drums;
HP drums continuous blowdown valve: 11HAA10 AA408
LP drums continuous blowdown valve: 11HAA30 AA408

During shutdown, the following water drain and air relief valves should be kept on close
position:
Inlet water drain valve of HPS 2: 11HAH11 AA402
HP steam water drain valve: 11LBA70 AA402
LP steam water drain valve: 11LBA80 AA402
HP main steam isolating valve: 11LBA70 AA001
LP main steam isolating valve: 11LBA80 AA001
LP
FDW

isolating
valves:

points. When boiler pressure within 2-5bar (psig), the nitrogen pipes should be fixed
and nitrogen blanketing isolating valves should be opened to prevent air in when boiler
equipments;
The most important point of succeeding nitrogen blanketing is ensuring the boiler sealed
completely. If seal not good, nitrogen will be lost due to leakage;
In order to get the above requirements, keep drum nitrogen pressure over atmosphere a
little bit (10-50mbar);
4.4.6. Boiler water drain
When boiler pressure a little low (psig <2bar), drain boil water out. In order to ensure
draining smooth, open all regulating valves and drain valves of heat exchangers. Then
the boiler water will be drained out and replaced by nitrogen. What keep certain nitrogen
pressure in drums can prevent air in.
HP FDW regulating valves: 11HAC10 AA101, 11HAC10 AA102, 11HAC10 AA103
LP FDW regulating valves: 11LAB40 AA101, 11LAB40 AA102, 11LAB40 AA103
3-way regulating valve: 11LCA70 AA101
on condensed; due to the volatility of ammonia, condensing water pH value is lower
than drum water pH value, so the anti-corrosion ability against superheaters is weak;
4.4.8 Steps of dry nitrogen blanketing under cold state
When take dry nitrogen blanketing protection under cold state, the following methods
should be taken to ensure no residual air in boiler parts:
4.4.10 Blanket Nitrogen into coal economizers and superheaters, then air or water
discharged from main steam drain valves: blanket nitrogen intermittently till oxygen
content below 1%. Enough nitrogen pressure is required during the operations;
4.4.11 Keep nitrogen pressure and take coal economizers and drums water draining.
5. Maintenance after repair

If repair is needed during boiler shutdown maintenance and boiler wont be in service at once,
recover the boiler maintenance state after repaired;
Reduce the times into boiler during shutdown maintenance; moreover, arrange maintenance
schedule well to reduce the time of air into all pressure parts. Actually, there is no protection
when boiler opens to the air;
If boiler will be in service in 2 days after repaired, refeed the treated water into boiler and the
water quality should be controlled strictly;
If the boiler will not be in service in 2 days after repaired, some proper measures should be
taken to protect boiler: according to local conditions, choosing dry or wet nitrogen blanketing
protection;
If partial wet nitrogen blanketing protection is adopted, refeed treated water into boiler (water
pH value over 10, because oxygen contained in the water). But the limit of this method is 4
weeks. If time exceeds, dry nitrogen blanketing protection should be used;
6. Boiler reverted to service

Close the following isolating valves on nitrogen blanketing pipes, open isolating
valves on phosphate dosing pipes of drums, and then FDW to boiler:
HP drum nitrogen blanketing valve: 11HAH10 AA452
LP drum nitrogen blanketing valve: 11HAH30 AA452
Deaerator nitrogen blanketing valve: 11LCA90 AA452
Preheater nitrogen blanketing valve: 11LCA70 AA452
Coal economizer nitrogen blanketing valve: 11LAB20 AA002

1. Model: UG-PG9171E-R
Type: Double-pressure, no afterburning and reheating, self integrative vertical natural
circulation HRSG
Manufacturer: Wuxi Boiler Factory
Assorted Turbine: PG9171E
Size: Height: 29.6m, Width 13.05m;
The elevation of HP steam drum center is 22.95m;
The elevation of LP steam drum center is 22.70m;
The elevation of deaerator center is 23.20m;
The elevation of boiler chimney is 45 m and the bypass chimney elevation is 40m;
2. Illumination of Boiler Structure

The boiler is double-pressure, no afterburning and reheating, outdoor self integrative
vertical natural circulation HRSG, whose pipes on heating surface located horizontally and
the flue flow is vertical; the water and the steam flow are finished in heating surface through
natural circulation.
The flue goes in from inlet flue duct and the direction from horizontal to vertical and from
down to upper, to flush each stage heating surface orderly and finally will be exhausted
from outlet flue duct and chimney.
3. Flue gas process:

3.1 Simple cycle
Exhaust from turbine, into bypass inlet flue ductthree way dampersbypass
mufflesbypass chimney of HRSG
3.2 Combined cycle
Exhausted from turbine, the flue gas into bypass inlet flue duct three way dampers
bypass outlet flue ductinlet flue duct of HRSG. In the inlet flue duct, the flue flow is
changed from horizontal to vertical, up into boiler body to flush the 3 rd layer modules, 2nd
layer modules and 1st layer modules and finally exhausted to the air through the outlet flue
duct and chimney.
3rd layer modules: HP superheater 2 (SHP2), HP superheaters 1 (SHP1);

2nd layer modules: HP vaporizer (VHP), HP coal economizer 3 (EHP3), LP superheater
(SLP), HP coal economizer 2 (EHP2)
1st layer modules: LP vaporizer (VLP), HP coal economizer 1 (EHP1), preheater (PREH)
4. Steam and water process

The HRSG has three pressure stages; According to the pressure, it can be divided as the
following:
4.1 DEAE system: after passing preheater, the cooling condensing water from condenser
goes into deaerator to deoxygenate;
4.2 LP system: a part of water from deaerator through LP FDW pump goes into LP drum to
separate water and steam; after separated, the saturated water will be back to
downcomers. LP saturated steam will be led out from LP saturated steam outlet pipe at
upper LP drum and then into LP superheaters and finally into turbine LP cylinder for
power;
4.3 HP system: the HP FDW pump will supply another part of feeding water from deaerator
into HP coal economizer 1 (EHP1), HP coal economizer 2 (EHP2) and HP coal
economizer 3 (EHP3); after heated, the water into HP drum. The water, which into HP
drum, will be led into HP vaporizer through VHP downcomers; after evaporated and heat
absorbed, up into HP drum for steam and water separation. Then the separated
saturated water will be back to downcomer. The HP saturated steam will be led out from
HP saturated steam outlet pipe at upper HP drum and then into HP superheater 1,
desuperheater 1 and into HP superheater 2 and finally into turbine HP cylinder for power
as the HP overheated steam.
Chapter 2 Preparation before Operation
1. Checks before operation

After boiler erected but not started yet, a series of checks should be taken to ensure boiler
and GT primary startup successful. The checks do not request all equipments erected but
the instruments, electric and compressed air system is necessary. The needed main
checks are as following according to power plant equipment erection.
2. Summarization
Check whether all parts and zones erected, flue gas ducts connected well, inner lining,
flue dampers and pressure members expand freely and all scrap iron and other rubbish
cleaned out; check whether separators in drum erected correctly and internals, such as
pipes supported firmly; check whether all pipes supports fixed correctly, boiler weight
loaded by base completely and all bolts of steel structure erected firmly; the pipes
supports should be signed with cold and hot state set value, after boiler at basic load,
recheck and confirm the thermal state set value;
3. Valves
Check whether all valves erected in right position; then check the valves stroke, valves
seats and gland packing tightness. Before boiler startup, all electric and pneumatic valves
and equipments should be trial operated to remove all electric or mechanical problems.
Check electric and instruments air; the exhausted steam and drained water from safety
valves should be led to discharge place where valves free expansion wont be disturbed;
4. Control equipments
Check all control equipments erected correctly, properly and reliably; check maneuverability
of electric system (electric and control) and control air supply system; regulate valves
opening and electric signals relationship within valves full stroke through control panel.
Check whether the signals sent out from the electric transmitters (flow, level, pressure and
temp.) accepted by terminal equipments (controllers and monitors). Check the polar and
transmitting correctness of water meter column/level meters components which should be
taken when level transmitters are being checked; check local pressure gauges/temp.
meters applicability and erection correctness;
5. Level control and display
The level indicating devices are used to display drum level, alarm and shut down boiler.
Alarm and shutdown setting is on Inner Devices Diagrams of each drum. Before put into
service normally, check whether they are set correctly;
Warning: it may damage boiler if drum at low low level, so the boiler should be shut down
emergently;
Chapter 3 Hydraulic Boiler Set
After erected, hydraulic set must by taken on each pressure stage of boiler and all inner
connecting pipes regulated in ASME criterion by install department and supervised by AI;
Within boiler life, if any modification or recovery taken within the scope regulated by ASME
criterion, after the modification or recovery, the test should be done;
2. Hydraulic set measures

2.1 Ensure instruments isolated during hydraulic set and the level meters also should be
isolated during overpressure test;
2.2 Check the hydraulic set regulations from pressure safety valves manufacturer. When test
pressure over design pressure, the valves must be isolated (removed or replaced by
blind flange);
2.3 If test pressure not over design pressure, the safety valves can be tested at the same
time, but SEPCO III will not take the responsibilities about safety valves damage;
Warning: if hydraulic set includes safety valves, when test pressure
over design pressure, the valves will be damaged;
2.4 Use best quality water to take test. We suggest taking softened, deoxidized or refined
cooling condensing water (treated by antiseptic, such as 10mg/l ammonia or
200mg/lhydrazine). The medicals should be dosed with complete mixing up; if stainless
steel parts contact hydraulic set medium, the chloride content can not be more than
30ppm or the parts are excluded in hydraulic set;
2.5
The large capacity feeding equipments should be used to finish FDW into boiler as fast
as possible and then exhaust air with best mode.
2.6
During FDW, all air relief valves should be opened to exhaust system air;
2.7
If it is a potential icy day, feed hot water (Notice: there are max. permissive metal temp.
regulations for hydraulic set in ASME criterion); in order to prevent freezing, we can adopt
inner heating or other measures. Anti-freeze measures are not considered in the 2 nd
phase project in Nigeria;
2.8
After the test, correct boiler maintenance must be taken to prevent rusting or freezing;
unless treated water adopted during hydraulic set and chemical maintenance adopted
during maintenance, boiler water must be drained out to keep boiler quit dry;
2.9
During boiler water draining, the correct protective measures should be taken to ensure
water drained out completely;
Warning: hydraulic set water may cause boiler rusting or freezing damage if it is remained in
boiler;
Chapter 4 Chemical Cleaning before Operation
1 General Introduction
To clean pipes inner is to make inner surface of pipes clean and be passivated equably.
Passivation is forming a Fe3O4 protective layer on wet surface which can prevent inner
surface from eroding during normal running;
Oil, grease and rust may cause Fe 3O4 layers unequal or flaking away. So before running,
they must be cleaned;
2 Clean mode
According to boiler conditions, operating scopes and local equipments, there are various
clean techniques. But the general cleaning methods are as following and the final
cleaning can be parts or all of them:
2.1 Manual clean
It the first step of cleaning. Open manholes of all headers and drums and try to clean out
grease, oil and other sundries. Careful manual clean can reduce other clean time;
2.2 Organic clean
After manual clean, any other residual organic matters (such as oil, grease or pipes
protective layers) must be cleaned from inner surface of boiler, otherwise the residual
organic matters will disturb the heat exchanging, metal normal passivation and acid clean.
Moreover, the sundries left on pipes inner surface must be washed. If there is oil or
grease, acid cleaning can not be used and alkali clean is necessary before acid clean;
Some pipes which human can go into can be cleaned with mechanical method, such as
vaporizers, HP water gun or scraper;
3. Alkali Clean
3.1 Feed alkali solution into boiler and coal economizers to normal running level: 1.8KG
Na2HPO4-7H2O, 3.6KG Na4PO4-12H2O and scaler (prepared according to capacity
0.05-0.1%) in 454KG water. The scaler usage on precautions;
3.2 Start GT and load to rotary load and according to boiler selected pressure, it may be
1.0Mpa in 4 hours. During this time, the drum level will be up, so the blowdown value
should be controlled to prevent water level over level meter top. During complete alkali
cleaning, the drums pressure should be remained at 1.0Mpa and sample saturated
steam from sampling nozzles to supervise steam purity (conductivity) that low indication
means there is no water in steam. The alkali solution should be sampled every hour and
analysis about alkalinity, phosphate and dissolved solid should be taken as well as oil
content in sampling. If boiler water alkalinity and phosphate concentration down to half of
original value, dose alkali cleaning chemicals to remover original concentration;
3.3 If alkali solution analysis shows that alkalinity, phosphate and dissolved solid get balance
and no oil content in sampling, stop GT and release HRSG pressure;
3.4 HRSG pressure down to zero and alkali solution cooled down to normal temp. and then
take water draining. After alkali solution discharged completely, feed heated 77 82
clean water into boiler to top of level meters glass. During feeding clean water into boiler,
take backwash on superheaters through superheaters outlet headers with condensing
water or DM water (Precautions) till water overflows to drums. Because there are residual
chemicals, superheaters should be fed with condensing water or DM water and the wash
water can be discharged after being cooled down enough in boiler;
3.5 Precautions of alkali cleaning
Solid chemicals should be avoided for cleaning. From heat transmitting and rusting
viewpoints, it is harmful if there are settled solids in superheaters. If there are hydrate and
chloride in stainless steel superheaters, there is obvious damage on the stress corrosion;
If alkali cleaning failed and grease still exists, then the following acid cleaning will be
invalid. So after alkali cleaning failed, check boiler drums and down water drums inner; if
not clean enough, repeat the alkali cleaning;
4. Acid cleaning
4.1 The acid cleaning takes diluted (about 5% weight ratio) anticorrosive hydrochloric acid as
base;
We suggest that the acid cleaning is started as soon as alkali cleaning and checks
finished. Feed clean water into boiler o normal level. Because of unequal cooling speed
between thin pipes, thick drums and thick headers, considering thermal capacity and loss
of boiler metal, before acid solution into boiler, the metal temp. should be controlled at
82. After boiler water discharged, close all furnace doors apertures and dampers to
keep heat;
4.2 Before acid cleaning, the following items should be checked:
4.2.1 Superheaters are full of cooling condensing water or DM water and no residual alkali
cleaning matters sampled at superheaters water draining and vent outlet;
4.2.2 Furnace door apertures and dampers closed;
4.2.3 Open all steam exhaust valves on drums; except special illumination, the positions of
valves should be as the same as in alkali cleaning;
4.2.4 Recirculation pipes valves of coal economizers opened;
4.2.5 All boiler blowdown valves and dosing valves closed;
4.3 When metal temp. at 77, feed anticorrosive acid solution (5-6% hydrochloric acid) into
to boiler. We suggest that according to poidometer, dose 0.25% hydrofluoric acid
(NH4HF2) into anticorrosive acid solution as energizing agent and silica scavenging
agent. The mixed up solution temp. by diluted acid water and steam should be kept
within 7177;
4.4 Acid cleaning precautions
4.4.1 Although nitrogen is not harmful, human breath can not be satisfied. After nitrogen used
during boiler discharging water, if human into boiler, ventilation must be taken firstly;
4.4.2 After cleaning finished, start boiler at once. If inner devices and orifice plates of boiler
not started at once after erected, the condensing water which contains 200PPm
hydrazine at least should be dosed into boiler and superheaters and then regulate PH
value to 10 through ammonia; moreover, boiler should be fed with positive pressure
nitrogen (0.020.034Mpa psig);
4.4.3 Before dosing acid into boiler, the validity of anticorrosive agent in acid should be
checked. One method is a simple test: soak a lucidus carbon steel card in acid whose
concentration is properly regulated and temp. at 82 ; if there are one or more bunches
of air bubbles but not dissociative air bubbles appearing, the acid is not available till
enough anticorrosive agents supplied and test qualified. Another method is that soak one
artifactitious surface square known boiler steel test sample in anticorrosive acid whose
concentration and temp. are the same as cleaning acid for 30min; then survey the weight
loss and the weight loss in each square centimeter should not be more than 1mg. The
acid cleaning must be operated by experienced personnel;
4.4.4 Potential accident in acid cleaning is partial metal temp. may be too high. Most
hydrochloric anticorrosive agents are not available if temp. over 88 ; moreover, too high
temp. also will increase corrosion. The valid cleaning temp. is at 66 at least, so pay
attention to confirm proper metal and solution temp.;
4.4.5 The steam exhausted from GT may transmit heat to parts of boiler and even establishes
boiler water circulation, which may cause partial metals of inner pipes over heated. So if
the boiler contains any acid solution, it is forbidden to start GT;
4.4.6 Take chemical analysis (conductivity, PH value) on using water to prevent pollution;
4.4.7 After cleaning finished and before GT startup, sample and check draining water at HPS,
LPS and steam pipes to prevent pollution;
4.4.8 During chemical cleaning, if alkali or acid solution overflowed into superheaters by
mistake, before ignition permitted, it must be backwashed with enough flow to ensure all
residual acid and alkali solution cleaned out;
4.4.9 During alkali cleaning, commercial detergent is used mostly, when whose concentration
over 0.1% (as cubage), the formed bubbles may bring alkali solution into superheaters.
Because stainless steel may create stress crack, pay attention and prevent lots of alkali
solution from being brought into. Because there are too many concentrations (water
dilution) in commercial detergent, if suggested concentration by manufacturer over 0.1%,
take negotiation with manufacturer;
4.4.10 All external pipes used during cleaning, including FDW storage/treatment equipments
should be cleaned when boiler being cleaned; if they can not be cleaned, it is better to
clean oxide skins after unconsolidated sediment in FDW removed;
4.4.11 The regulating valves, orifice plates, and other equipments which may be damaged in
cleaning process should be removed or bypassed during cleaning;
4.4.12 The cleaning contractor should provide necessary glass level meter for cleaning and
also they should be informed the max. working temp. and pressure of the temporary level
meter;
Warning: the glass level meters for cleaning commonly can not be used in operation, which
may hurt people caused by breaking up or damage due to pressure;
4.4.13 Because the cleaning solution circulated in boiler may be cooled down, supervise
control the cleaning solution temp. at inlet and outlet of boiler to keep valid temp. and
prevent external air into flue ducts (cover chimney and close manholes) to reduce boiler
heat loss. The cleaning medium is heated by outlaid heaters by cleaning contractor;
4.4.14 The cleaning contractor must ensure cleaning solution circulated in all boiler parts,
especially avoid the solution in vaporizers passing low resistance pipes, such as
downcomers, but not the correct pipes, so it is requested to silt up the downcomers
during chemical cleaning;
4.4.15 During chemical cleaning, the inner parts of drums can be cleaned with drums, but pay
attention that the metal mesh is made up of stainless steel plates; if the cleaning solution
is harmful to the metal mesh, it should be taken out before cleaning and then put in
before steam blowing and operating; chevron separators should be erected as the same
way if they are taken out for checks or additional cleaning;
4.4.16 The sampling pipes must be closed during steam blowing or chemical cleaning to
prevent from jamming;
4.4.17 The records of all cleaning techniques including chemicals should be saved well by
users;
4.4.18 After cleaning finished, the owners and cleaning contractors should check whether the
unit cleaned out and all tube windows water drained out;
4.4.19 The disposal cost about cleaning solution is one of important parts. The cost may be
changed when weak cleaning solution into a long-time circulation, so there may be more
corrosion/acid solution discharging fees;
4.4.20 When dispose any dangerous liquid and take acid cleaning, pay attention to human
safety specially;
Warning: after acid cleaning, flush with water thoroughly to avoid damage;
5. Preparation of boiler into service after chemical cleaning

5.1 Check drums
1) Blow the connecting terminals of inner level meters and instruments;
2) Flush dosing pipes and continuous blowdown pipes;
3) Flush any loose deposits on drums inner surface and in centrifugal separators inlet box
with water from drums to collecting headers and the drain water will be discharged through
acid cleaning pipes;
5.2 Check drums and wash any sediment in drums with water through drums blowdown
pipes;
5.3 As required, check any opened header and wash them with water from opening end;
5.4 When inner surface clean, erect the following equipments:
5.4.1 Erect primary and secondary separators in drums;
5.4.2 Install restriction orifice and perforated enclosures;
5.4.3 Install and weld all handholes covers of headers;
5.4.4 Remove or close all acid cleaning connecting pipes with valves;
5.4.5 Remove all temporary acid cleaning pipes connected from drums;
5.4.6 After drums cleaning finished, take a complete check to ensure there is no external
impurities staying in drums;
5.4.7 Feed water into drums, coal economizers and but only DM water or condensing water
can be fed into superheaters, superheaters;
5.4.8 Reduce drums level to suggesting value and then sample boiler water and analyze
sodium, chloride, all solids. If sodium over 5PPm, chloride over 5PPm or all solids over
10PPm, then take boiler water draining and refeed water into boiler. After that, repeat
sample and analysis till required value reached;
5.4.9 When blowing steam pipes, dispose boiler water with volatilizable chemicals and keep
boiler water pH value within 8.5 and 9.0 with ammonia and all solids below 2.0PPm.
Chapter 5 Steam pipes flush
1. Purpose:
In order to remove all external impurities left in superheaters and steam pipes after they
are erected, we flush main steam pipes and reheating steam pipes before boiler startup.
The impurities will cause heavy accident if they are into turbine during initial operating;
Some external impurities may be left in pipes during pressure parts maintenance, so the
pipes should be flushed too after maintenance;
2. Responsibilities
Because pipes flush is taken to avoid turbine accidents, the complete flush techniques
should be confirmed by users. The temporary pipe system design, produce, erection and
protections of overpressure or over temperature of pipe flush are the users
responsibilities;
3. General principles of ASME

In order to get best working conditions, the flow working conditions in flush system should
equal to normal running condition under max. load: LP steam flow during pipe flush
multiplied by LP flow speed is the max. load working condition. The pipe flush designers
calculate the whole system flow resistance including temporary pipes to confirm total flow;
Steam blow adopts high speed steam passing steam pipes to get enough cleaning rate
(CR: flush coefficient is the rate of CR: steam density () and steam speed squared (V 2)
under steam flush condition and basic design condition)
(V2) steam flush
CR=----------------(V2)design
Because the shearing force is in direct proportion to flow speed drop of common medium
passing pipes, the larger the cleaning rate is, the larger the shearing force is (the better
the pipes are cleaned). Generally, the generating boiler request 1.6 times cleaning rate at
least, sometimes LP system accepts smaller cleaning rate but not below 1.2;
If LP high speed flow adopted, the water consumption can be reduced, so LP medium is
better when cleaning pipes;

Also all steam pipe branches should have correct cleaning rate and steam pipes at
different positions have different cleaning rate;
4. Precautions
4.1 There are some abnormity in boiler and steam pipes during flush. The rapid temp. variety
during flushing will cause heavier damage than during normal running, such as that there
is over heat stress in thick wall parts of drums, headers and pipes;
4.2 During flushing stop all main fuel burning, but the combustion of igniters or boiler
warming-up oil guns can be held, to recover flushing pressure fast;
4.3 The temporary steam pipes design pressure may be below the boiler vaporizing section
pressure, so the overpressure should be avoided during flushing operations. We suggest
taking overpressure protective measures on flushing pipes, such as take safety valves
floating as temporary pipes design pressure;
4.4 During steam pipes flush, it is hard to avoid water and solid impurities in drums into
superheaters during steam flushing. If the impurities settled down in superheaters, from
heat transmitting and corrosion viewpoints, it is harmful. Even caustic alkali (corrosive)
and chloride contained a few, the stainless steel is easy to be damaged; so the boiler
must be disposed with volatilizable chemicals, including keeping boiler water pH value
within 8.5 and 9.0 with ammonia and all solids below 2.0PPm. The boiler water analysis
should be taken to ensure the above conditions can be satisfied when flushing steam
pressure reached;
5. Type and application of steam flushing

If GT under running and treated water enough, steam flushing can be taken, which is
divided into two; intermittent and continuous flush;
After all equipments checked and expansion displacement supervised, take slower boiler
startup than normal startup. After GT is started, the furnace outlet flue gas temp. should
not be risen too fast, not over 538 before turbine rolling. During pipes flush, the drums
level will have heaviest wave: when temporary flush blowdown valves opened, the drums
level will be risen fast, even over level meters glass top till out of sight; but when flush is
kept going, the drums level will appear again and even down to the glass bottom of level
meters till out of sight;

5.1 Intermittent steam flush:
Firstly, rise relative drums pressure to preset value, and then open the fast flush valves at
pipe tail end to create high speed steam through reducing drum pressure. When drum
pressure recovered and below calculated design value (1.6 min. cleaning rate), close
flush valves to boost boiler pressure and then repeat the operations. The intermittent
steam flush is adopted over 100 times when makeup water not enough during continuous
steam flush. Generally speaking, intermittent steam flushing coasts more time and
humans;
5.2 Continuous steam flush:
Continuous steam flush is making boiler under decompressing running in certain period.
During decompressing running, high speed steam will pass steam pipes continuously, so
at the end of temporary steam flush pipes, there is a valve erected to hold the required
pressure. Compared with intermittent steam flush, continuous steam flush can
economize the time and humans, but this type flush need a lot of treated water. During 4hour flushing, the FDW can be interrupted;
Notice: steam flush should be taken even GT not in service. Under this situation, an
auxiliary boiler must be prepared to create enough steam (flow, temp. and pressure);
6. Precautions of steam flush

In order to gent best effect, the steam flush valves should adopt butterfly valves or
brake valves;
If there is no makeup water for long time and the soft water demand not satisfied
for steam flush, we suggest renting auxiliary soften equipments;
Generally, steam flush pipes can not reach basic load steam temp. But
superheating steam parameter should be below boiler design value and temporary
pipes design value;
The power plant can adopt flexible methods to optimize steam flush, such as rise
HP drums pressure possibly to transmit more heat into LPE during LP system flush.
But all pressure system pipes should be cooled down enough during steam flush;
The temporary desuperheaters in steam flush pipes can help with controlling
temporary pipes not over design temp. At the same time, through desuperheating
medium discharged from boiler and reducing steam flow, the temporary pipes noise
can be reduced;
Boiler steam flush running is a short operation, which requests boiler operators pay
more attention. The drum level will be waved heavily if valves opening changed
during intermittent and continuous steam flush;
When two units running under header pipes system, two boilers may be under
running at the same time to satisfy the header pipes cleaning rate. And be careful,
there are no large pressure difference between two units;
During steam flush, the main steam valves must be opened 100% to prevent seal
surface worn away. The check valve core should be taken out during steam flush. If
the core not taken out and results in the check valves damaged, Wuxi Boiler Factory
will not take any responsibility;
If possible, the steam sampling devices should be taken out from steam pipes to
prevent sampling pipes jammed and the devices damaged;
If the temp. not request to be controlled in steam flush, isolate the desuperheaters
in steam pipes during steam flush;
Venturi steam flow meters (or other steam survey equipments) should be taken out
and replaced with other temporary pipes before steam flush;
Insert target plates to test whether boiler cleaning qualified; if not, insert the plates
and then restart boiler to take steam flush till it is qualified;
During steam flush, the steam can not be exhausted through main startup valves,
viz. spheroidal regulating valves which
may be damaged when dirty steam is passing them. When create steam through
startup boiler, there a temporary steam flush valve should be erected to control
pressure boosting speed;
7. Acceptance of steam flush

When required cleaning rate satisfied, insert steam target into temporary steam pipes for
test, then take it out to make signs and marks. The cleaning requirements (flag data and
deepness on target) are decided by users;
8. Precautions:
8.1 An important principle of boiler blowing is that: at the outlet of vaporizers, the mixing up
speed of steam and water should not be over 35m/s at any situation to prevent cavitation;
The operating restricted area of drums is as the following chart: these running limit lines
will limit GT load in pipes flush;
8.2 During flush, the pressure drop of superheaters and steam pipes will become larger;
8.3 During complete steam flush operations, the design pressure and temp. of temporary
steam exhaust pipes and valves can not be exceeded;
After flush finished, take safety valves floating, suspension bracket tightening and other
debugging according to relative operating regulations.
Chapter 6 Safety valves calibration
1. Conditions:
1.1 Boiler overhauled;
1.2 Safety valves overhauled;
1.3 When operators or maintainers consider it is necessary;
2. Participants of safety valves floating

The safety valves floating should be commanded by shift engineer; the maintenance
director or appointed special personnel should joint inand I&C personnel take cooperation.
The floating should be operated by operators and supervised in site by supervision and
relative technical leaders.
3. Checks before floating and operation precautions:

3.1 The maintenance of boiler finished and the work sheet terminated;
3.2 Take a check on equipments as boiler startup requirements;
3.3 The safety valves floating takes the local pressure gauges as standard;
3.4 The local personnel should wear safety helmets, gloves and earplugs;
3.5 Check the communicating facilities good and the relative personnel have good
communicating signals;
3.6 Close the electric valves of boiler main steam header pipes;
3.7 Vacuumize turbine and put condensing water system into service;
3.8 Control boiler drum level at normal value;
3.9 Control boiler boosting within regulated value; during floating, keep pressure up and down
gradual and if the pressure approaching to action pressure, it should be more gradual;
3.10 After pressure 2bar more than floating value, if the safety valves not act, open bypass to
take disposal;
4. Process:
4.1 The maintainers should set the action pressure at floating value according to relationship
between spring stroke and pressure under cold state;
4.2 Except verified safety valves, other safety valves should be locked by thimbles to prevent
faulty action;
4.3 The safety valves floating sequence is from high floating value to low one;
4.4 After safety valves floating finished, record the floating results and release pressure as
normal speed (<1bar/min);
4.5 During safety valves floating, if abnormity found, stop the test at once and after the faults
removed, keep on the floating;

Chapter 7 Startup program of HRSG
When all equipments of GT/boiler satisfy operation conditions, the unit can be started, but the
following boiler equipments and services must be reliable and proper:
Boiler control system;
Water level indicators and transmitters;
Regulating valves;
Electric valves;
Chemical dosing system;
Blowdown system;
FDW system;
Electric and air resource service;
Cooling air fans (if flue duct burners system);
During startup, certain parameters are required to be retained, so the operators should joint
in;
1 General Introduction
During boiler startup and stop, the heat stress will be created: the faster the temp. is rising,
the larger the stress will be created, so if not controlled, the boiler will be fatigue and the
life also be reduced;
1.1 The boiler input heat is controlled according to supervision of saturated temp. rising
speed (temp. rising speed) in drums of boiler each pressure system. The temp. rising
speed will be controlled by the following factors: 1) through steam exhausting during
startup or on main steam pipes or other pipes; 2) through limiting GT load, control heat
flow into boiler;
1.2 Start GT when boiler temp. at highest value. Before startup, circulate hot deoxidized
water in boiler to rise temp. approaching to saturated temp.;
1.3 The key point of boiler startup and operation is to keep correct drum level. High level
operation may cause superheaters damage but low level operation will cause vaporizers
walls overheating and damage or even forced shutdown;
1.4 The startup steam exhaust valves must be opened fully during cold startup and GT
ignited and closed after the temp. rising speed over regulated value; the startup valves
can be closed during fast startup but temp. rising speed not over value and are forbidden
to be running under any situation when the opening below 10%;
Warning: the regulating valves can not be operated when the opening below 10% to
prevent the seal surface of valves damaged;
1.5 The startup regulations of boiler service depend on the situations before unit startup. The
three situations are as the following:
Cold startup: water temp. in drums is down and below 100 (not positive pressure in
drums);
Warm startup: water temp. in drums equals to or is 55 lower than saturated temp.
under basic load normal working pressure but the water temp. still over 100 (positive
pressure);
Hot startup: the water temp. in drums has been 55 higher than saturated temp. under
basic load normal working pressure;
To adopt startup regulation according to different situations, which can reduce startup
time, protect system from damage caused by responding heat stress;
2 Startup preparation and suggestion

Suppose that the unit has not been fed with water in this article;
2.1 Check and clean sundries in boiler flue ducts and chimney; all manholes, flue gas ducts
connection and inspection doors must be tight and firm;
2.2 Check whether the boiler is ready; compare DCS display with local value; check manual
valves in site, especially the isolating valves which may affect certain important function
of boiler;
Notice: Some high temp. units have draining bypass pipes between HPS (hot) drain valves,
so the valves must be opened to ensure the draining pipes can be cooled down
sufficiently;
2.3 High quality water (thoroughly deoxidized, softened, heated and pretreated water) should
be fed into HP, IP and LP system and the large capacity pumps for boiler FDW as fast as
possible can help to exhaust the air in pipe; during boiler feeding water, the temp.
difference of water and pipes walls should be low and must be below 55 . Make for
startup, the initial water feeding must be cold to satisfy the temp. difference of water and
pipes walls; but during the complete feeding process, the water temp. should be raise
and when the drums full of water, the water temp. should be over 100 ;
2.4 Open Startup steam exhaust valves to release air; feed water continuously till water level
just in bottom observed scope or over low low level;
2.5 If there is any maintenance after lat hydraulic set, the leakage test must be taken;
2.6 If the manholes have been removed, when pressure at 0.15Mpa, they must be tightened
again and sealed completely;
2.7 If there is chimney dampers, before GT primary startup, the dampers must be opened,
otherwise they may cause boiler expansion joints damage or human injury;
Warning: if the boiler damaged during running caused by chimney dampers closed, Wuxi
Boiler Factory will not taken any responsibility;
2.8 Look up the startup limit requirements in all boiler safety measures;
Notice: in order to prevent steam pipes creating heat vibration, at the primary period of
startup, the downstream steam pipes in Wuxi Boiler Factory supply scope should be
preheated;
3. Cold startup
The article states the unit cold startup regulations when boiler under
water feeding but water temperature below boiling point;
3.1 If the unit has been fed with water for a while, consider opening the drain valves of coal
economizers and vaporizers till the settled slugs discharged out; check drums level alarm
system and set points, open superheaters drain valves to ensure all condensing water
discharged;
3.2 Start FDW pump and open the HP, IP and LP FDW shutoff valves, observe drums level at
normal value and open HP, IP and LP startup steam exhaust valves completely;
3.3 Regulate any necessary valves position according to power plant regulations;
3.4 At this moment, boiler satisfies the operation conditions and GT can be ignited and load
minimum load;
3.5 Supervise HP, IP and LP drums temp. and level; when each stage pressure system get
boiling, the drums level will be up which means the steam has been created. During
boiler primary startup, the drums level control is on auto position and the level is set at
200mm below normal level to ensure the max. level not over high high value after boiler
started. In future startup, regulate the primary startup level of drums to make the max.
value of drums level wave approaching to normal level;
3.6 After boiler started, LP part can reach rated pressure first and then IP part, HP part will be
the last one. The boiling time is about 10-45min, which depends on the startup temp. and
GT speed whereas the time reaching basic load depends on startup temp., GT speed
and unit load variety ratio;
3.7 When HP and IP part pressure at 0.07Mpa and LP part pressure at 0.035Mpa or steam
flows of each part satisfy the requirements, the operators can increase load; at this
moment, the drain valves of superheaters can be closed;
3.8 GT loading regulations and startup auto steam exhaust valves adjustment should be
taken base on the same temp. rising speed: HP part below 3.5 /min, IP part below
16.5/min and LP part below 22/min;
Warning: when auto steam exhaust valves opening below 10%, it will result in seal surface
worn which may cause leakage;
3.9 The isolating valves of desuperheaters should be opened as steam output reaching 25%
of basic load, which can ensure the steam heat can vaporize the spray water;
3.10 According to power plant facilities, there are a few methods to load full load. The most
important point is to control boiler parameters not exceeding above parameters limit. The
full load reaching time depends on GT loading arrangement whereas steam exhaust
valves position regulation depends on the power plant;
3.11 When boiler under stable operation, check the whole boiler. During running, steam flow,
pressure and temp. can not exceed design conditions regulated by design institute;
3.12 At primary startup, pay attention to parameters variety to take improvement in future
startup, especially the system boiling time and highest expansion value of drums water
level, which will be the standard for next FDW level;
4. Warm startup
In this article, we talk about the startup regulations when drums have positive pressure
and water temp. in drums is 55 higher than saturated temp. under basic load conditions;
also article 2.7-2.8 must be satisfied;
In order to reduce the startup pressure to min., before heating unit, the startup steam
exhaust valves and superheaters drain valves are not suggested to be opened;
4.1
Check water level alarm system functions and all drums level; start FDW pump and
open HP, IP and LP FDW stop valves then according to power plant regulations, regulate
the valves position;
4.2
Start GT igniting; GT starts cranking and then decelerate to flameout speed; once GT
fired, it starts full speed with no load condition (FSNL). When GT flue temp. at saturated
temp. of boiler HP drums, open superheaters drain valves in all pressure system. The
system pressure will discharge the condensing water out from superheaters. After that,
about 5-10min, close the superheaters drain valves and at the same time, open valves to
the opening where steam can be created;
4.3
Warning: cooling steam must pass superheater before boiler inlet flue temp over 370 ;
4.4
When superheaters drain valves and startup steam exhaust valves opened, the drums
may be expanded, so the operators should observe the drums level closely during
operating;
4.5
According to startup conditions, drums pressure may be down with FSNL; at this time,
load more GT load till the drums pressure falling stopped;
4.6
Start increasing load and regulate the startup steam exhaust vales to satisfy the basic
load; at the same time, observe HP, IP and LP drums temp. rising speed at 3.5 , 16.5
and 22 respectively. When GT load is increased, the opening of startup steam exhaust
valves should be wider to control startup temp. rising and ensure more cooling steam
through superheaters;
4.7
After unit taking basic load, operate according to Article 3.10-3.13 in cold startup ;
5. Hot startup
In this article, we talk about the startup regulations when drums have positive pressure
and water temp. in drums is 55 lower than saturated temp. under basic load conditions;
also article 2.7-2.8 must be satisfied;
5.1 The same as Article 4.1-4.5;
5.2 During hot startup, the boiler drums water temp. speed has no limit and the unit permits
instantaneous temp. rising at 55, however, the unit wont be damaged. But the enough
steam flow should be ensured to pass superheaters;
Warning: cooling steam must pass superheater before boiler inlet flue temp over 370 ;
5.3 Take loading up to basic load should be operated as Article 3.10-3.13;
Startup after long time shelving

This operation is out of the manual scope. The shelving time, inner and external
conditions, valves and instruments will affect the work; the boiler can be started only after
complete checks. Wuxi Boiler Factory can help with checks and compiling this procedure.
Chapter 8 Safety measures of boiler operation
In this chapter, we will talk about general safety principles and detailed
design limit. The responsibilities of owners are to ensure operators,
system and control devices within design parameters. During actual
operation, we need additional safety measures. On boiler, we have
additional alarm, trip and interlocks to protect other devices and
operators safety;
General Introduction
1.1
FDW must be enough to maintain drums level within permissive scope;
1.2
There must be a equipments accepting the created steam by boiler;
1.3
There must be a logic control system controlling boiler and shutting down equipments
automatically when design parameters exceeded;
1.4
The necessary instruments which provide control system with accurate data must be
under good working condition;
1.5
The relative operation and design requirements in O&M Manuals must be obeyed;
Detailed introduction
The follow is the protective requirements during boiler under running. If the requirements
deviate from protective requirements, the boiler guarantee by Wuxi Boiler Factory will be
invalid. The operators must know other equipments performance and human safety
requirements. On the other side, the requests for equipments and human safety should
be compiled specially according to local conditions;
2.1
Drums level
During operation, when one drum level below low low and cause pipes and headers
overheated, GT must be shut down;
When low level alarms, operators should take some measures to avoid low low level;
When operating drums level over high high level, it may cause superheaters pipes and
other downstream equipments polluted (scaled); when high high level reached, start auto
regulating devices should be started to reduce water level;
When high level alarms, operators should take measures to avoid high high level;
Warning: when drums level below low low or over high high value, it may cause boiler
damage and quality guarantee invalid;
2.2
Working pressure
Operators should ensure working pressure below design pressure;
Warning: when design pressure exceeded during running, it may cause the quality
guarantee invalid and the pressure parts damaged;
2.3
Working temp.
The outlet temp. of HPS 1 can not be over 457.3 whereas HPS 2 outlet steam temp.
must be controlled by desuperheaters but not over 523.0 ;
Warning: if the temp. over above value, it may cause the quality guarantee invalid and
the pressure parts damaged;
2.4
Backpressure of steam exhaust

The steam exhaust static pressure between GT and flue duct inlet can not be more than
500mmH2O whereas the steam exhaust static pressure in chimney can not be over
125mmH2O. When above values reached, GT must be shut down forced. Consider
installing the alarm devices, so the devices can alert operators when values reached;
Warning: during running, when exhaust steam pressure over design value, it may cause
the quality guarantee invalid and the expansion joints or other boiler parts damaged;
A part of pipes resistance may exceed design value but the total backpressure can not
exceed above limit. So during operations, the total backpressure must be supervised
and recorded. If pressure up, take checks at once: first the instruments, then inner
checks or resistance test to confirm blocking position. Once position confirmed, continue
supervising resistance in blocking zone. When the whole pipes resistance over 2 times
of designed steam side pressure drop, GT must be shutdown;
Warning: too much steam side pressure drop may damage pipes supporting parts, so it
may cause the quality guarantee invalid under this running condition;
2.5
Chimney dampers
Before GT startup, the dampers must be opened 100% and the dampers position must
be connected to DCS by hard-wiring as the necessary condition of GT startup,
otherwise the dampers will be damaged, especially the expansion joints at flue gas
sides;
Warning: When boiler running with dampers closing, the boiler casing, expansion joints
and other parts may damaged and the quality guarantee will be invalid;
2.6
Limit switch of electric valves

Moment switches and position switches have already been erected and there is no need
taking further adjustment;
Notice: If the valves, motors and relative parts damage caused by default set value
adjusting in site, Wuxi Boiler Factory will not take any responsibility;
2.7
Vibration insulation bracket

The vibration insulation bracket is used to reduce pipes vibration caused by flue gas
flowing, which can not be used as hanging or other fixed load supports;
Notice: Wuxi Boiler Factory will not take any responsibility, if humans, brackets, pipes
damaged caused by incorrect using vibration insulation brackets;
2.8
Desuperheaters faults
The design of superheaters pipes and connecting pipes do not consider the
overtemperature caused by desuperheaters fault. All desuperheaters must be
supervised to confirm whether they are normal running. When same level
desuperheaters located paralleled, if one is on fault, we can not increase another
desuperheaters output to control total outlet steam temp. When desuperheaters are on
fault, GT load must be controlled to ensure heating surface temp. within normal scope;
2.9
HPS startup
When GT flue temp. is rising, HPS pipes can not be in dry combustion. When temp. over
370, there must be steam passing HPS pipes for cooling down pipes walls. If steam
flow inadequate, the short-time overtemperature may be caused and finally the pipes
invalid;
Notice: when flue temp. of GT over 370, if no steam passing HPS pipes to cool
down pipes walls and cause pipes overtemperature and gradual deformation,
Wuxi Boiler Factory will not take any responsibility;
2.10
9%Cr material
In this boiler, some parts materials contain 9%Cr (SA-213 T91, SA-335 P91, SA-387
Grade P91, SA-234 F91 and so on). Check relative diagrams to confirm where these
materials used;
Because the materials have special welding, manufacturing and thermal treatment
techniques, unless you have ASME certificate and authorized welding skills, the
materials are not allowed to be welded (including spot welding and temporary auxiliaries
welding). DC Prod magnetic powder inspection are not allowed as well as the incorrect
unqualified welding on them, otherwise Wuxi Boiler Factory will not take any
responsibility; If there are unexpected arc welding craters, they should be rubbed and
then take nondestructive evaluation (NDE) confirm the materials not damaged;
Warning: DC Prod magnetic powder inspection are not allowed as well as the incorrect
unqualified welding on them, otherwise Wuxi Boiler Factory will not take any
responsibility;
2.11 Blowdown flash tank

The undissolving scale and sediments in boiler will be discharged into blowdown flash
tanks, which should be washed and drained very often to prevent sediments damaging
the tanks;
2.12
Control logics of recirculation pumps

When boiler started, we advise recirculation pumps into service after GT load loaded up
(95% load). The recirculation pumps are designed to be running under steady working
condition whereas under load changing condition, they are not allowed to be put into
service. The reasons are as following:
2.12.1 During boiler startup, GT exhausting heat will be absorbed by boiler front parts but the
temp. in FDW preheaters is not increased. The relative recirculation regulating valves
opening is 100% to control water temp. in preheater at 60 ;
2.12.2 The recirculation pumps are designed to be operated under
certain outlet
pressure which equals to working substance static pressure plugging pressure drop at
preheaters working substance static pressure side. At primary period of startup, the working
substance flow passing preheaters will be small and the relative pressure drop also is small;
At primary period of startup, due to 100% opening of recirculation regulating valves and
small preheaters passing-by working substance flow, the recirculation pumps will
deviate from power curves and damage recirculation pumps motors;
If put recirculation pumps during load changing, even the motors can adapt the
condition but may be damaged, too. Go to further, recirculation operation in this period
will increase power plant additional load but no benefit;
2.12.3During boiler running, recirculation pumps can not be running with full load. At this time,
the unit has been on steady running state for enough time and the boiler even the boiler tail
has been heated completely, which is adaptable. The outlet temp. of preheaters has been
risen and higher than inlet temp. and then regulate the relative recirculation regulating valves
to supply enough outlet pressure, ensure the pumps can be operated on safety state. Wuxi
Boiler Factory suggests recirculation regulating valves opening over 10; At load
continuously reducing period, according to partial load running conditions, the boiler tail have
more heat to absorb, so the preheaters outlet temp. can be raise and over normal running
value. The recirculation pumps are designed to running better within certain temp. scope.
When over design temp., the pumps will have cavitation (details on water pumps factory
information). In such as case, the pumps should be closed;
2.13 Water treatment
Select proper blowdown rate correctly to held qualified boiler water quality and take
changing with local FDW quality and chemical treatment. The blowdown rate is the rate
of TDS in water and drums (i.e.: if drums max. permissive TDS is 50ppm and 1ppm in
water, the blowdown rate is 2%);
Water treatment: the water treatment tests should be taken to confirm blowdown rate,
intermittent blowdown time and sampling time according to TDS and purity in water and
max. TDS in drums;
Notice: different stage pressure may request different dosing valueit is very important;
Warning: All pressure-stages adopt one water treatment that will not satisfy the
requirements, which may cause boiler inner surface damage; some certificated
personnel check drums inner and other access zones to ensure crashing water
treatment. We suggest supervising ferrum content on line to know boiler
corrosion degree.
Chapter 9 Control and regulating of boiler operation
1. General Situation
The steadying of boiler running parameters are closely related to external load changing
and boiler inner factors variety. Any of above factors changed, the boiler running
stabilization and safety will be affected. So a series of control and regulating should be
taken to make the boiler parameters be adapted to external or inner changing to ensure
the boiler running safely and economically;
2. Regulation of GT load
GT load affect the safety and economy of boiler and even the whole power plant, so the
regulation should be adapted to external load requirements;
2.1 Purpose:
2.1.1 Ensure boiler steam temp., pressure and evaporation capacity stable and normal;
2.1.2 GT should take basic load possibly. If due to grid system or other reasons, the preselect
load should be as high as possible to take sufficient heat;
2.1.3 Keep most economic boiler operation;
2.2 Main contents and methods of regulation:
2.2.1 According to grid system load, keep GT base load to ensure max. HRSG thermal
efficiency and also keep the general efficiency of combined cycle max.
2.2.2 Control outlet steam temp. of superheaters not overtemperature;
2.2.3 When load changed, pay attention to regulate HRSG drums level within normal scope
and prevent trips caused by water level over set value;
2.2.4 When load changed, pay attention to regulate deaerator level of HRSG within normal
scope and prevent trips caused by water level over set value;
2.2.5 When GT transferred from base load to preselect load, pay attention to regulate HPS
steam outlet temp. not overtemperature;
3. Control and regulating of FDW

FDW regulation is to ensure the FDW quantity satisfies the unit load evaporation capacity
and keep drums level stable (within 100mm);
3.1 The indications of local double colored level meters at both sides should be the same. If
not, take wash in time and find out causes;
3.2 All level meters must indicate correct. If there two or more in service, they should be
compared with local indication in each hour. The drums high and low level instruments
and alarm (alarm signals) should be reliable and verified periodically;
3.3 During normal running, when FDW in service automatically, strengthen supervising water
level meters; if FDW changed heavily, transfer to manual regulation to prevent lack of
water or water overfed;
3.4 When take boiler intermittent blowdown, strengthen supervising and regulating water
level;
4. Regulation of steam temp.

The steam temp. is affected by boiler load, FDW temp., fuel characteristics, excess air
coefficient, combustion, so it must be regulated according to the relationships;
4.1 Main purpose of steam temp. regulation
4.1.1 During normal running, make temp. wave within required scope; within 70%~100% of
evaporation capacity, the superheater outlet steam temp. is 523+5;
4.1.2 Ensure superheaters and pipes walls at each section not over alarm value regulated by
protective setting value;
4.2 Regulations of superheaters steam temp.
4.2.1Regulate superheating steam temp. through spray desuperheaters at steam side which
have simple structure, small thermal lag, flexible regulation, easy auto control and other
advantages;
4.2.2 In design, control the superheating steam temp. just through the spray desuperheaters.
But in actual running, when coal changed heavily, the superheating steam temp. also
can be changed through changing furnace flame center;
4.3 Protection
In order to ensure that there is steam for cooling inside and boiler safety during boiler
startup and shutdown, the unit is equipped with independent 100% HP bypass protective
system and LP bypass protective system to ensure enough steam passing by during
startup and shutdown, to ensure boiler safety and reliable and even accelerate startup
and shutdown speed and emergency disposal ability;
5. Control of steam quality

Methods
5.1 Ensure FDW quality;
5.2 Control continuous and intermittent blowdown valves and ensure boiler water salt content
below its critical salt content at steam parameter;
5.3 Control drums level 100mm in normal scope and supervise the variety of drums level to
avoid abnormal level;
5.4 Avoid unit load loading up and steam pressure falling down heavily and suddenly;
6. Operators patrol and inspection and regulations

The boiler operators should know boiler very well. Wuxi Boiler Factory suggests that at 2
hours, a patrol and inspection should be taken as well as when each shift started and
ended. The appearance checks by qualified boiler operators are improtant and
irreplaceable;
6.1 Patrol and inspection
During the patrol and inspection, the unit state should be known, at
least the following contents must be checked:
6.1.1 Check whether all closed valves tightly; when valves seal closed, pay attention to avoid
leakage which may cause corrosion. The leakage from valves stems through gland
should be repaired as fast as possible;
6.1.2 Find out any water and steam leakage resource and take maintenance at once;
6.1.3 Check whether startup steam exhaust valves leak, because the valves are used more
often than other valves;
6.1.4 Compare the pressure and temp. indication recorded in control room with local meters,
record the difference and take adjustment;
6.1.5 The unit and the complete structure of auxiliaries should be checked;
6.1.6 The glass level meters should be blown down twice in each shift to prevent scaling;
6.1.7 Pay attention to whether there is flue gas leakage and arrange the maintenance in next
shutdown period. Especially, the headers outlets and inlets and the drain pipes which are
through boiler casing should be check to confirm whether there is leakage over there;
7. Usage of O&M Manuals

The operators should take responsibilities to ensure the whole unit good, including
compiling periodical maintenance schedules and performance supervision and control;
7.1.1 The intermittent blowdown time is decided according to boiler water sampling results;
we advise each shift to take blowdown once;
7.1.2 All pipes should be drained and blown down periodically to check whether they are
clean;
7.1.3 Boiler startup and shutdown parameters (i.e.: startup water level) acquisition and
reduction should be taken to improve startup and shutdown parameters setting;
7.1.4 The control room log books which record main maintenance, operation and running data
should be saved. DCS running parameter can show some problems such as pollution
and turbine recession. The operators should check data periodically to find out any
changes of unit running performance;
7.1.5 Before shutdown, notice maintainer for maintenance. The operator should look up
shutdown maintenance manuals. If the unit shut down for long time, read shutdown
chapter and articles;
7.1.6 Organize reviewing complete O&M Manuals, including auxiliaries once in each year.
Chapter 10 HRSG Performance parameters
The design performance of this boiler will be satisfied when external input conditions
satisfied. The influence of some external conditions variety will be talked about hereinafter.
The unit and auxiliaries running and mechanical conditions can not be confirmed if there is
not complete analysis on system;
CTG is the primary heat resource of boiler. The steam exhausting flow and temperature can
affect boiler heavily. In order to reduce NO X, steam feeding flow, GV adjustment under part
load, fuel content, atmosphere pressure, humidity and CTG mechanical conditions will
affect running conditions and even boiler. Other auxiliaries, such as GT rotors coolers and
fuel heaters, may increase or reduce heat from GT into boiler. Any of above conditions may
cause boiler heat output changing;
Generally speaking, GT exhaust flow or temp. reduction may cause boiler steam flow and
temp. decreasing. Rising one parameter and reducing another will cause steam flow
increasing or decreasing;
The boiler running parameters and equipments conditions may affect performance
differently. Especially when running pressure down, steam flow will be increased but the
superheating temp. will be down. The FDW temp. must approach to design temp. to avoid
problems. Steam/water leakage or drain valves opened may reduce certain steam value
although it is not obvious. The superheating steam leakage can not be seen commonly but
it is very dangerous. The leakage at flue gas side will reduce boiler performance heavily.
Besides that, the pollution on pipes surface will reduce the heat exchanging and then
reduce steam flow.
Chapter 11 HRSG Shutdown operations
The shutdown speed depends on whether immediate maintenance is needed. The normal
shutdown procedure should be used for those boilers which have normal maintenance,
long-time shutdown or shutdown but without maintenance. If immediate maintenance is
needed, take emergency shutdown procedure. In any case, cool down boiler rapidly will
cause boiler heat stress, so it should be avoided possibly. Other factor which may cause
shutdown speed/modes are: local water draining and FDW devices, environmental temp.
and boiler antifreeze protection;
If the unit will be shut down for long time, the shutdown maintenance contents in this
manual should be looked up. In any case, boiler should held positive pressure which may
be realized through steam or nitrogen blanketing;
Sometimes, unexpected accidents may cause the whole power plant shutdown. In this
case, the following measures which mentioned in advanced shutdown chapters can not be
carried out. In any case, take water draining and blowdown while boiler has positive
pressure to ensure draining and blowdown pipes not jammed.
1. Prior period of boiler shutdown

When boiler water circulates, the sludge and other matters are suspended whereas when
circulation finished, solid matters may accumulated and attached to inner surface, which
may affect heat exchanging and accelerate corrosion. All of these can be avoided through
the following steps in prior period:
1.1 Increase 10% continuous blowdown and double bottom blowdown frequency;
1.2 According to water treatment professors suggestion, increase boiler eater alkalinity and
chemicals dosing;
1.3 Under pressurized, open each blowdown valves shortly to discharge accumulated
sludge to check whether the pipes jammed;
1.4 Before cut off boiler heat resource, guarantee the correct deoxidizing of FDW system;
2. Normal shutdown
When GT is shut down, boiler begins cooling down. Unless boiler maintenance required,
reduce boiler heat radiated and keep working substance side pressure. If the boiler
requires maintenance after normal shutdown, take the following procedures:
2.1 After CTG shutdown, close boiler main steam valves. Keep drums level over low low level
till HP drums pressure down to 0.07Mpa;
2.2 Through self ventilation cooling boiler from CGT to boiler, the startup motor of GT can
keep low speed or be shut down at the same time. The chimney dampers should be
closed as well;
2.3 In above casing, within about 24 hours, HP drums pressure may be down to 0.07Mpa;
2.4 When HP drums pressure below 0.07Mpa, boiler air relief and water draining can be
taken and if some jammed blowdown pipes found in detection before boiler shutdown,
take maintenance at this time;
3. Emergent shutdown
Only the boiler which requests intermediate maintenance can be shut down emergently.
Normal maintenance does not require emergency shutdown because emergency shutdown
will increase boiler heat stress;
3.1 Close climate flue dampers, open bypass flue dampers and isolate boiler water side;
3.2 In each pressure system, intermittent blowdown valves are used to reduce drums level to
min. seeable value. Close blowdown valves and wait for 5min and then feed hot
deoxidized water to each pressure-stage coal economizers till drums level at highest
value. After 5min, repeat the operations;
Warning:
During emergency shutdown, FDW for coal economizers must be deoxidized
water at or over 100;

3.3 Keep on above steps till pressure at 0.07Mpa; then open air relief valves to prevent boiler
vacuumizing. At this moment, superheaters and coal economizers pipes can take water
draining. The draining pipes must be expedite and cleaned at once if jammed;
3.4 After that, boiler can take air cooling: open all draining and air relief valves to accelerate
cooling speed; open the inspection door nearest by GT for cooling through fans;
3.5 If it is needed to take maintenance on the top of boiler, take individual force ventilation
against boiler top parts to increase cooling: compressed air blowing boiler top parts;
3.6 After emergency shutdown, the boiler restarts as cold startup;
4. Disposal after shutdown

4.1 Read other regulations related to short-time shutdown, antifreeze requirements and
maintenance & checks;
4.2 Drain and discharge all pipes which may accumulate water to prevent being eroded and
frozen;
5. Stop Disposal
During stop, no matter before or after operations, the proper boiler shutdown maintenance
must be taken to prevent corrosive and freezing damage. Because during running, the
pressure elements inners contact water, corresponding to flue gas side, the stop disposal at
boiler working substance side should be paid attention to specially (take periodical checks
on boiler flue gas side to ensure stop disposal requirements satisfied). The disposal
procedures and methods (wet or dry) at boiler working substance side should be confirmed
according to local detail conditions and while compiling, read the following instructions.
Chapter 12 HRSG maintenance after boiler shutdown
1. Maintenance purpose
1.1 If the intervals of unit startup is longer (over a week), the valid measures must be taken to
prevent thermal equipments damaged by rust, rotating machines stuck and so on to
make the unit under normal cold backup state;
Notice: RH will be changed with environmental temp., so it should be surveyed or concluded
according to survey charts at min. temp.
2. Scope and measures

2.1 Maintenance
2.1.1 Scope
1) Boiler drum, heating surface and other contacting pipes;
2) FDW system
Measures:
<1> Partial wet/ Nitrogen blanketing protection;
<2> Dry Nitrogen blanketing protection
<3> Completely wet protection (available after hydraulic set);
2.2 Safety Key points
Nitrogen is very dangerous; human maybe die if into fulfilled nitrogen drum; When drum
need clean, open all manholes and before into drum the drum should be blew by air for 2
days; When check in drums, the one should accompanied by some others, so if some
problems, the alarm can be reported at any time; Pay attention that Nitrogen can be
spread, so the operators in plant should take relative safety measures;
If there is no proper maintenance during boiler shutdown, it will be eroded heavily. If there
is a ferric oxide layer, the metal surface wont be rusted easily; The boiler corrosion is
oxygen corrosion whose type is the anomalistic oxidized streak located on metal surface;
During boiler shutdown, if the maintenance not proper, the electrochemical reaction will be
acting:
- Oxidation: Fe>Fe2+ +2e-
(1)
- Reduction: 2H+ +2e- >H2

O2+4e- +2H2O>4 OH-
(2)
(3)
When ferrum contacts water, the reaction (1) will be acting. When metal (anode) absorb
negative electron, Fe2+ will be water-soluble and after the metal polar has polarity, the
reaction will be stopped;
On surface of metal (cathode), reaction (2) and (3) will be acting; The balance of the
reactions will be decided by OH- concentration (water pH value) in the water.
Moreover, reaction (3) can be decided by oxygen content; The electron from anode
(reaction 1) has tendency to into metal cathode: reaction (1) balance will be broken
and the ion will be water-soluble continuously to be Fe 2+;
2.
2.1 General principles
According to above theories, only when water and oxygen exist at the same time, the
corrosion will happen. The two below measures can remove one of the two factors:
- Nitrogen blanketing wet maintenance
- Nitrogen blanketing dry maintenance
Which maintenance measure will be adopted is decided by purpose and boiler shutdown
time;
If it is shut down for short time, such as weekend shutdown, because certain pressure
kept, no maintenance is needed;
When temp. below zero, in order to anti-freeze, dry protection must be adopted. From
other view points, dry protection has a special disadvantage, viz. refeed water into boiler
before boiler startup. So the water demand is huge and it will take long time to recover
original boiler load. This measure will be adopted for long time shutdown;
Partial wet protection has obvious advantage: no drain water in boiler, so it is easy to
recover the original load;
The general principle of shutdown maintenance is to prevent boiler water causing metal
oxidizing. If partial wet protection adopted, according to boiler water quality, when over
certain period, take water draining and then adopt dry protection;
For scheduled shutdown, the proper maintenance should be chosen according to
shutdown time before shutdown and then confirm the preparation: chemical dosing for
boiler water, Nitrogen supply and so on;
Important Notice: No matter wet or dry protection adopted, hot flue gas is not allowed into
HRSG.
3. Wet protection
Two Types:
Complete wet protection and partial wet Nitrogen blanketing protection
3.1 Complete wet protection
3.1.1 Standard:
Only used after hydraulic set;
3.1.2 Time limit
It is properly used when shutdown time within 6 weeks and pH value over 10.5, so it is
better to take DM water and dosing ammonia as (150ppm, to rise pH value) hydraulic set
water;
If the succedent boiler commissioning takes place after 6 weeks, water drain must be
taken and then adopt dry Nitrogen blanketing protection;
3.2 partial wet Nitrogen blanketing protection
3.2.1 Standard:
It is properly used after shutdown or maintenance (examines and repairs) and the climate
conditions permitted (if air temp. low, dry protection adopted)
3.2.2 Time limit
In order to prevent static water stayed in boiler for long time, the protection time limit is 2
weeks normally according to boiler water chemical characteristics;
Main parameters are the pH value and oxygen content in FDW and boiler drum water.
The protection limit is as the following table:
pH value
Oxygen content
limit
<20ppb
2 weeks
>20ppb
Dry Nitrogen blanketing

protection
9<pH<10
If the shutdown time over above limit, water drain must be taken and dry Nitrogen
blanketing protection should be adopted.
4. Nitrogen blanketing
During Nitrogen blanketing, the furnace pressure should be 10-50 mbar more than
atmosphere pressure;
Whether Nitrogen blanketing will be adopted can be decided before boiler shutdown, so
Nitrogen blanketing will be started boiler hot state;
If Nitrogen blanketing started under cold state (unintended shutdown), special Nitrogen
blanketing in instruction book should be undertaken;
4.1 Nitrogen blanketing operation under boiler hot state
4.1.1 Before boiler unloading
At 2h before boiler unloading, dose NH 3 to ensure boiler water pH value over 10, so the
being shutdown boiler water quality will be good. Pay attention that if condenser
materials have aldary, pH value should be controlled at 9.2, so the partial wet nitrogen
blanketing maintenance time just is 2 weeks. Moreover, if aluminum contained in any
part of condenser or steam and water circulation, the chemicals should be decided by
chemical personnel research because of special requirements;
The secondary operation at 2h before boiler unloading is open continuous blowdown
valves of drums to remove the slat and alkali dissolved in boiler water furthest before
boiler maintenance;
Continuous blowdown valves of HP drum: 11HAA10 AA408
Continuous blowdown valves of LP drum: 11HAA30 AA408
position:
Inlet water drain valve of HPS 2: 11HAH11AA402
HP steam water drain valve: 11LBA70AA402
LP steam water drain valve: 11LBA80AA402
HP main steam isolating valve: 11LBA70AA001
LP main steam isolating valve: 11LBA80AA001

LP FDW pump outlet isolating valves: 11LAB31AA003, 11LAB32AA003, 11LAB33AA003
points. When boiler pressure within 2-5bar (psig), the nitrogen pipes should be fixed and
nitrogen blanketing isolating valves should be opened to prevent air in when boiler
equipments;

As far as boiler under warm state, steam in superheaters and steam pipes will be kept on
condensed; due to the volatility of ammonia, condensing water pH value is lower than
drum water pH value, so the anti-corrosion ability against superheaters is weak;
LP main steam drain valve: 11LBA80 AA402
4.1.7 Transferred to dry nitrogen blanketing protection
If the shutdown time of HRSG exceeds above max. period (2 weeks according to
chemical characteristics of boiler water), the boiler is required to discharge water
completely and to be kept under dry nitrogen blanketing state. At this time, we suggest
closing all manual isolating valves for instruments, water drain and steam exhaust pipes
to ensure boiler air tightness;
4.1.8 Water quality requirements
This partial wet maintenance mode is adequate for short-time shutdown and the
sampling and analysis should be taken every week;
The water quality requirements during boiler shutdown:
4.1.8.1 pH value over 10 or within 9 and 10 and oxygen content lower than 20ppb;
4.1.8.2 CL-<2ppm
4.1.8.3 SO41ppm
4.1.8.4 NaOH<0.5ppm
It should be avoided to deviate from above target heavily or long time to ensure good
protection for boiler;
4.2 Partial wet nitrogen blanketing protection under cold state

When this protection used under cold state, the following steps should be taken to ensure
boiler air exhausted out:
4.2.2 Blanket Nitrogen into superheaters and air exhausted from main steam drain pipes:
blanket nitrogen intermittently till oxygen content below 1%. Enough nitrogen pressure is
required during the operations;
4.3 Steps of dry nitrogen blanketing under cold state
4.3.1 Used standard: it is used in long-time shutdown situation, which can not only be used
directly after boiler shutdown, also can be used after partial wet protection or boiler
maintenance;
If environmental temp. below zero and boiler parts are easy to be frozen to affect safety,
dry protection can be used;
4.3.2 Dry protection is not limited by shutdown time;
4.4 Operations sequence:
4.4.2
Before shutdown:
At 2h before boiler unloading, open drum continuous blowdown valves fully to discharge
water-soluble slat and alkali. Before boiler shutdown, dose phosphate all the time into
drums;

points. When boiler pressure within 2-5bar (psig), the nitrogen pipes should be fixed and
nitrogen blanketing isolating valves should be opened to prevent air in when boiler

equipments;
4.4.6. Boiler water drain
When boiler pressure a little low (psig <2bar), drain boil water out. In order to ensure
draining smooth, open all regulating valves and drain valves of heat exchangers. Then
the boiler water will be drained out and replaced by nitrogen. What keep certain nitrogen
pressure in drums can prevent air in.

on condensed; due to the volatility of ammonia, condensing water pH value is lower
than drum water pH value, so the anti-corrosion ability against superheaters is weak;

4.4.8 Steps of dry nitrogen blanketing under cold state
When take dry nitrogen blanketing protection under cold state, the following methods
should be taken to ensure no residual air in boiler parts:
4.4.10 Blanket Nitrogen into coal economizers and superheaters, then air or water discharged
from main steam drain valves: blanket nitrogen intermittently till oxygen content below 1%.
Enough nitrogen pressure is required during the operations;
4.4.11 Keep nitrogen pressure and take coal economizers and drums water draining.
Chapter 13 HRSG Daily Maintenance
During boiler running, the operators should take checks at the same time; moreover, in
order to ensure unit safe and normal running and extend the unit life, the boiler shutdown
checks are necessary. Usually, the shutdown checks will be carried out when GT takes
annual shutdown checks;
1. Schedule and check list

Before boiler shutdown, maintainers should list a schedule containing the being
maintained parts, such as valves seal packing rings, gaskets and spares which need
maintenance, as well as the local inspection body schedule. Before shutdown, the
operators should check whether there is leakage at flue gas side and steam side and look
up the maintenance record in operators log books;
The detailed check lists should be compiled according to check and maintenance
instruction books of fitting parts provided by manufacturers and manuals by Wuxi Boiler
Factory.
2. Min. requirements
As the minimum requirements, the checks should include the following contents:
2.1 Confirm boiler has been isolated from external steam and water resources;
2.2 Open all inspection doors of flue ducts to ensure safety maintenance in boiler;
2.3 FDW into boiler and boost pressure to check whether boiler leaks; after leakage test, held
pressure to drain water. Each header should take draining individually to ensure all
draining pipes not jammed; when all pipes draining finished, clean those jammed pipes
(back flush with compressed air or exchange pipes);
Once pressure leakage checked out, before next running, they must be repaired and the
leakage causes should be analyzed. the analysis should include the following items at
least:
2.3.1 Boiler operation including abnormity and deviation of operating points;
2.3.2Chemical treatment including abnormity and deviation of operating points;
2.3.3 GT operation including abnormity and deviation of operating points;
2.3.4 Auxiliaries operation including abnormity and deviation of operating points;
2.3.5 Shutdown maintenance

2.3.6 Prior pipes maintenance adjacent to leakage points;
2.4 All blowdown pipes draining checked and the boiler can take draining;
2.5 Check boiler inner pipes whether they have dust stratification, corrosion or fins or pipes
damaged. In flue ducts, check whether there are damaged or broken off inner lining,
cards, traverse baffles or heat preservation and so on. Check whether the bottom, top
and side flue gas dampers loosened or broke off;
2.6 In drums, check whether all inner parts have surface corrosion, scaling or mechanical
damaged; ensure the integer of steam separating devices and check the closure gaskets
at the ends of FDW pipes, blowdown pipes and dosing header pipes;
2.7 The safety valves must be maintained and checked as relative regulations once two
years. After checks and maintenance, take trial trip under certain pressure to ensure the
normal acting;
2.8 All instruments, transmitters, thermocouple and other equipments should be tested and
calibrated. Check whether the impulse pipes jammed and valves leak;
2.9 Check valves and actuators; check whether valves operation flexible; check stroke limit
switches, interlocks and gland; check I/P positioners, calibrate zero point and scope,
clean and erect the regulating devices of air filters;
2.10 Check electric contact and other electric resistance level meters; take out polar for
leaning and replace gaskets; remove the level meters glass to clean the inner surface
and replace the gaskets; check whether all pipes expedite and whether valves leak;
2.11 eck whether control panels and junction boxes have mechanical damage, whether leads
overheated and whether the places where bolts fix leads have loose and corrosion;
moreover, some special operations should be operated as maintenance instruction book
provided by fitting manufacturers;
2.12 Check whether manual valves flexible and leak; according to power plant decisions:
(a)Break off the blowdown valves and other valves, which are used to control flow, to
check whether the valves seats eroded;
(b)Break off steam check valves to check whether the valves cores eroded and act freely;
2.13 Check boiler all outside surface, pipes, electric and pneumatic lines and operation
panels;
2.14 Repair and maintain as relative check and maintenance instruction measures regulated
or commended by suppliers;
2.15 Replace inspection doors seal gaskets and close the inspection doors;
2.16 After boiler final check finished, keep boiler on spare state;
3. 3. Process
3.1 Usage of casing and inspection doors and gaskets seal;
3.1.1 Remove the doors to ensure they are safe;
3.1.2 Clean both sides of old inspection doors gaskets with wire brushed;
3.1.3 Fix treated plate on boiler casing with RTV or other materials;
3.1.4 The gaskets thickness is 3mm at least and width 50mm at least. The gaskets should be
stuck on the surface flat without folding but the materials which contain Teflon and semi
liquid layer can not be used;
3.1.5 Flat doors and fix bolts manually; tighten bolts till gaskets sealed completely (wrench
torque is 55-80N-M); no pneumatic wrench used on bolts whose diameter over 12.5mm;
3.2 Feed grease
If the anhydrous dissolved grease should be fed into drums supports for lubricating by
nozzle tip once 3 or 4 months; the boiler columns sliding panels can be fed by the same
method;
3.3 Usage of drums manholes and gaskets seal
There are two elliptical manholes covers sizes: 300400and 50450;
3.3.1
Open manholes and clean the covers and the gaskets on covers thoroughly; check
whether there is any steel pit or flute on all manholes covers and the gaskets seal
surfaces; if the pit diameter on manhole gaskets surfaces over 4.75mm or nick deepness
over 0.25mm, it should be repaired with welding or polishing instructed by ASME NB
engineers. If manholes covers damaged, replace them with new ones. The surfaces of
wound gaskets should be processed to 125RMS;
Check whether new manholes covers have bugs; the steel pit or the flute over 0.25mm
deep are founded on new ones;
3.3.2 While erecting manholes, the gaskets which meet table 3.1 and
3.4 requirements should be mounted; according to Chapter I requirements in ASME Criterion,
the bearing surface width of gaskets on manholes should be 17.5mm at least and the
thickness can not be over 6.35mm;
If the manholes covers are not articulated, the covers must be put into drums before
gaskets mounted and then connect manholes covers, gaskets and isolation links with
bolts, finally screw down the bolts. Before installation, the plate can not be bent, twisted
or deformed, otherwise the gaskets will be damaged and hardly to keep structure integer;
take gaskets alignment and lift covers to proper height to regulate gaskets position.
When covers and gaskets are in center, screw down the four diagonal bolts once a circle
till all bolts at 55N-M;
Notice: when nuts over 12.7mm, the heavy impulse driving wrench can not be used;
when screwing down nuts, it should be once a nut and once a circle as diagonal nuts till
the nuts screwed down; it is forbidden to screw the two adjacent nuts one after the other;
3.5 Now, we can boost boiler pressure. If gaskets leak, screw down nuts one by one once a
circle (as above process) till leaks stopped. With boiler heating, the inner pressure will
work on manholes covers and compress gaskets. If they are mounted correctly, the seal
established, but due to heat/boosting, the nuts should be screwed down more tightly. If
there is still leakage when the torque at 170N-M, repeat above process and mark the
leakage points. However, the slow water leakage is permitted in cold boiler. When unit at
preselected pressure, screw nuts at 170N-M;
Notice: When unit under pressure condition, the nuts can be screwed down beginning
from side if there are some protective measures;

3.6 Flange gaskets of pipes

The gaskets on any pressure stage should be FlexitallicstyleCG type (or equal to) spiral
wound gaskets whose material is 304SS compressed fibres or coordinate;
3.7 The seal of survey points and sampling on casing
The bolt interfaces (thermocouple plugs on flange, thermometers on flange, gland
supplementary, observe holes, flue gas sampling pipes and so on) on casing should be
sealed with a flat board and also a gasket which can bear design temperature;
The gaskets should be placed on flat board flatly without any superposition or materials
replicating;
3.8Seal packing
All pipes connecting which is through casing should be sealed with gland to ensure the
seal connection;
3.8.1 Gland materials are woven ceramic fibre and the design temp. of
temp. at gland mounting place, 600 at least;
gland is the flue gas
3.8.2 All seal connecting should be sealed with gland over 3 circles at least, normally 4
circles, but there is no upper limit;
3.8.3 Others
The packing in glass level meters should be carried out according to fitting manufacturers
instruction book;
Notice: The gaskets and glands which contain asbestos can not be used.
Chapter 14 HRSG maintenance process
In this chapter, we will talk about the general maintenance process of HRSG and the
maintenance instructions of all equipments but no detailed equipments operations;
During equipments maintenance, the maintained equipments should be recorded to
confirm the overhaul or forecast potential faults and damage, which can make fittings and
parts management easier and more foresighted, so the record forms should be prepared
for each equipment;
2. Safety rules
When any equipments or auxiliaries of HRSG need maintenance, check forcibly whether
there is residual pressure inside, as well as upper and down stream of equipments to
ensure equipments on cold state and isolated from upstream or downstream equipments.
In order to avoid human injured, the rules should be carried out forcibly;
3 Maintenance
For safe and reliable operation, the equipments should be at their best, so the equipments
need periodical checks and maintenance. The present maintenance process includes the
following items:
3.1 Shift checks
The maintenance engineers should take visual determination on the whole boiler and
auxiliaries to check whether the equipments running normally and then decide whether
they need maintenance or repair;
Survey points: whether there is water/steam and flue gas leaking and whether pumps and
motors noise normal;
3.2 Monthly maintenance
According to general maintenance plans, some equipments need monthly maintenance,
including resetting lub oil, oil feeding and surveying devices, as well as the checks and data
records; all equipments checks are more detailed than shift checks;
3.3 Periodical maintenance
Some parts need checks and/or maintenance every 6 month, every year or others. Details
on maintenance plans;
3.4 Annual major inspection

Generally, annual checks, maintenance and unit shutdown are taken while MSC unit
stopped, which include boiler inner, pressure parts inner and flue gas ducts inner checks;
3.5 Statutory checks
According to national regulations, some checks and tests need official personnel in site
which must be taken with annual major inspection or overhaul;
3.6 Overhaul
HRSG is suggested to take an overhaul every 3 years. As required, take removing or
replacing to check parts running conditions;
3.7 Detail introduction of maintenance and clean

It is very important to divide daily maintenance and overhaul. The overhaul will be taken
after 16000 working hours or 3 years at least. At this time, HRSG must be on cold state
and drained for complete equipments maintenance;
Pay attention to a very important question in HRSG maintenance: water quality. Details
about water quality on special instruction;
Notice: this part just refers to out company equipments whereas other companies equipments
refer to their maintenance manuals;
4. Preventative maintenance of heat exchangers and pipes

4.1 Take the following operations while HRSG on cold state and not drained:
4.1.1 Before into inlet flue duct, enough time should be provided for casing cooling down;
Open manholes to increase casing ventilation performance;
4.1.2 When some one into boiler first time, another one should wait outside in order to
send out alarm when some problems taken place;
4.1.3 Ensure GT wont be started;
4.1.4 In order to restart boiler, before close inspection doors, confirm no staying in
boiler;
In order to check whether pipes leak, feed water into HRSG completely (including
superheaters). The heat exchangers should held pressure for 2h at least and then boost
pressure with FDW pumps. Pay attention that the pressure can not be over running
pressure and then personnel can go into boiler to check whether pipes leak;
4.2 Operations while boiler on cold state and unloading
Into each layer casing, check whether there is corrosion caused by condensed acid in flue
gas. The phenomena are at coldest part of boiler, exactly in front of chimney;
Check fin pipes damage;
5. Preventative maintenance of drums

The operation should be operated on cold and unloading state;
Notice: when boiler checks required, open all drums manholes and release drums
air (at both sides) carefully for 2 days before checks. When inspectors are in drums,
some personnel should accompany outside for sending alarm if some problems
happen. Pay attention nitrogen is harmful to environment and it is fatal if human into
fulfilled nitrogen drums;
5.1 Enter into drums to check their inner. The drums inner should be (black) covered by
ferroferric oxide; once they are red which means that the water quality not qualified;
5.2 Enter into drums to check whether there are cracks around pipes connecting (suggest
checking after 10 years);
5.3 Check whether demisters still erected firmly (spot welding);
5.4 Check whether demisters clean; if there is dust, remove them for cleaning (water wash or
brush clean) and then erect them back on drums;
5.5 Before close inspection doors for restarting boiler, ensure there is no one and external
equipments in drums;
While closing inspection doors, use new gaskets;
6. Preventative maintenance of intermittent and continuous

blowdown
The operation should be operated on cold and unloading state;
Attention: if blowdown flash tanks request for checks, their manholes must be open
to release air for a few days before inspectors into tanks. While inspectors are into
tanks, some personnel should accompany outside for sending alarm if some
problems happen.
6.1 Enter into blowdown flash tanks to check inner surface;
6.2 Enter into blowdown flash tanks to check whether there are cracks around pipes
connecting (suggest checking after 10 years);
6.3 Before close inspection doors for restarting boiler, ensure there is no one external
equipments in tanks;
While closing inspection doors, use new gaskets;
7. Preventative maintenance of safety valves, valves, ball valves,

check valves and regulating valves
7.1 Routine maintenance
7.1.1 Check leakage
7.1.2 During HRSG running, listen to safety valves leakage sound;
7.1.3 Check whether the valves package dry;
7.1.4 Lubricate valves rods periodically
7.1.5 Check oil level and lubricate actuators
7.1.6 All valves should be opened and closed fully very often (once a year at least); if they are
electric valves, check limit switches and torque switches;
7.2 Overhaul maintenance
The regulating valves, working valves under flash evaporating conditions and HP
differential valves (over 30bar) must be taken off to check. If the valves seats flushed, they
should be replaced; if the valves clacks flushed but the seal still complete and good, take
check in next maintenance;
8. Preventative maintenance of instruments and meters

8.1. Routine maintenance
Except visual determination, the instruments themselves need no special maintenance
(except regulations by equipments manufacturers). Pay more attention to that whether the
equipments vibrate;
Any problems about instruments (i.e.: indications between local instruments and
transmitters differ), operate as the following sequence:
8.1.1 Check intelligent transmitters parameters
8.1.2 Check the auxiliaries of transmitters: pressure leads, isolating valves and so on. Zero
position fault is often caused by incorrect erection, different height balancers, dirty
valves or dirty parts of survey elements;
8.1.3 Check transmitters. If necessary, regulate zero and adjustment scope (details on
manufacturers manuals). After zero regulated (based on transmitters erection), we
advise recording the transmitters zero value (close inlet and outlet valves, open balance
valves and at the same time feed water into balance pipes to condensing tanks height);
Above data will be used in future instruments recalibration, which is independent of
transmitters, just depend on water level in balance pipes;
8.2 Overhaul
8.2.1 Through opening drain valves, flush pressure pipes between equipments and
transmitters on cold and micropressure state (avoid steam and survey elements
contacting, otherwise the survey elements will be damaged)
8.2.2 In order to check fringe damage, the orifice boards must be removed. If the damage
over 0.4% of the diameter, they must be replaced; if they are in good, they can not be
removed in next maintenance;
8.2.3 Open drain valves to flush level meters. The drain valves must be closed at once after
opened. If open clod state level meters when HRSG on hot state, the glass of level
meters will be damaged by overstress;
8.3 Refeed water into pressure pipes
In order to refeed water into pressure pipes, take operations as following sequence:
8.3.1
Check whether inlet isolating valves of transmitters closed;
8.3.2
Flush pressure pipes between equipments and header pipes;
8.3.3
Open balance valves on header pipes;
8.3.4
Open header pipes isolating valves;
8.3.5
Open positive pressure side inlet valves slowly to make water through balance valves
enter into survey devices at positive and negative pressure side;

8.3.6
Open air relief valves of transmitters to exhaust air;
8.3.7
Close transmitters air relief and blowdown valves;
8.3.8
Close balance valves and negative side inlet valves;

Notice: Of transmitters which connected to steam pipes, the steam is not allowed to
touch the survey devices. The condensing water columns should be held always,
otherwise they should be provided through small manual pumps;
9. Preventative maintenance of casing and flue ducts

9.1 Overhaul
9.1.1 Operate while HRSG on cold state and not drained
Before enter into casing or flue ducts, there should be enough time provided to cool
down metals. Through opening all manholes, the cooling speed will be increased. While
inspectors are into boiler, some personnel should accompany outside for sending alarm
if some problems happen. Ensure GT can not be started at this moment and before
close inspection doors for restarting boiler, ensure there is no one in boiler;
9.1.2 Operate while HRSG on cold and unloading state
9.1.2.1 Check whether chimney fixed and whether there are fixed screws loosened;
9.1.2.2 Check whether the vibration-proof diaphragm fixed;
9.1.2.3 Check whether suspenders on each layer pipes and heat exchangers loosened
according to striking sounds with hammers; it is very important to upper heat
exchangers and if necessary, readjustment can be done;
9.1.2.4 Check whether the casing eroded; survey the casing thickness in inlet and
outlet flue ducts with ultrasonic instrument at the same point. The corrosive ratio is
calculated through comparing several years casing thickness;
9.1.2.5 Remove the heat preservation of outlet flue ducts and then check whether there are
cracks at casing welding lines. This special method will be done once 10 years;
9.1.2.6 When close manholes, use new gaskets and before close inspection doors for
restarting boiler, ensure there is no one and external equipments in boiler;
10. Preventative maintenance of frames and supports

10.1 Daily maintenance
During HRSG normal running, periodically check the pipes suspenders between hot and
cold state position; if not, reset the suspenders on cold state (20 in drums);
Check suspenders manually (with hammer);
10.2 Overhaul
Clean sliding supporting blocks and suspenders with compressed air;
Check whether the screws on steel structure loosened;
Check whether the pipes and suspenders on each layer loosened according to strike
sound with hammer; it is very important to upper heat exchangers and if necessary,
readjustment can be done;
