Check Point Description

Mainatin deaerator level 60 to 75 % always
Always keep deaerator outlet recommended feed water temperature of 130 Deg C
Charge steam to Deaerator as soon as steam is available after start - up
Maintain pH- 8.8 to 9.1; Cond- less than 0.3 micro Siemens & SiO2 less than 0.02 ppm
Always run LP dosing pump when water is being taken into boiler
Maintain suction strainer dP within recommended value. If the dP starts rising, stop pump & clean
Observe BLO pressure. If any sudden rise of 2 Ksc is observed than the recommended, stop & ckeck the
pump
Ensure Suction, BLO, Cooling water, min. recirculation valves are open before starting.
Ensure lube oil level in bearings
Maintain operation Log for BFP
Do not allow thermal shock by rapid change of FW temperature
Do not allow steamming in ECO. Ensure the FW outlet temperature is always 20 - 30 Deg C below the
saturation
During start - up take water through ECO at regular intervals
Observe for abnormal increase or decrease of water or Flue gas temperature & Pressure.
Pressure rising must be done as per start-up curve
Operate the boiler within recommended operation limits
Ensure LP dosing pump glands are not leaking
Maintain operation log sheets
Do not operate bottom headder drains while firing is on
Observe for any abnormal noise, leakage of flue gas, fuel etc
Maintain boiler water parameters within limits
Water & steam sampling to be done as per the procedures in O&M manuals
Do not operate with very high bed levels. High bed level will cause puffing from mixing nozzles
Ensure that all fuel feed lines are not chocked atleast once in shift
Any sudden drop in bed temperature means
Loss of fluidisation in that zone of bed. Drain bed / increase FD air
No fuel going into furnace due to fuel jamming in hopper / coal feeders
Jamming of PA lines
Keep CBD crack open while the boiler is running in steady loads. Adjust valve to maintain boiler water
parameters
Regularly analise the fuel, its particle distribution, Ash UBC

Always keep the bearing plummer blocks clean from dust

Monitor vibration levels as per Predictive maintenance schedule and monitor for rising trend
Maintain lubrication schedule. Ensure that it is being recorded in operator log book
Lubricate dampers as per the lubrication schedule
Always start HT in feild 3 - 2 - 1 sequence
Start all heaters atleast 4 hours before boiler start - up ( Insulator, Hopper & pent house)
Always switch on the HT in ESP at the required inlet flue gas temperature of 120 Deg C
Switch on the rapping system for EE & CE. Put in sequence timer mode.
Ensure that the rapping hammer shaft is rotating with the rapping motor
Maintain less than 10 sparks/ min by adjusting the IDC limit.
Maintain log for ESP & note down the spark counter reading every shift. Calculate the average spark rate.
IF any field trips on under voltage, ensure that the ash level is not high in the hopper
Check the fuel particle sizing from coal plant & adjust the crusher Gap base on the output sizing
Check the Vibrating screen mesh for any dammages. Any hole in screen will allow over sized fuel into
bunker
Ensure that no jamming is taking place due to excessive feeding rate or high moisture
Always keep magnetic seperator & metal dectctor on while fuel feeding is on
Do not run vibrating screen without load for long as it may dammage the screen mesh
Ensure the system is running in Auto mode always
Ensure the seal pressure is OK in all the vessels.
Check the vessel pressure while conveying. If it is less than 0.5 KSc, it is indicating low conveing load.
Ensure that the ash level is not high always from the level probe indicator.
Ensure that the system is running as per the sequence programmed.
Ensure that the ash pipe to silo is hot, which is indicating the ash conveying is taking place
Note the no. of conveying cycle / shift from the cycle counter. Any abnormal change from previous values
must be investigated.
Maintain Lubrication as per schedule
Maintain PA line draining as per schedule.
Composite samples to be collected by coning & quartering method
Do regular maintenance as per maintenance schedule.
