BASIC THEORY AND AUXILARIES

The boiler also termed, as steam generator is a container in which water can be feed
and by the application of heat evaporated continuously in steam .The heat source is obtained
by burning the fuel, which is coal hear in our case .

The walls contained in the boiler drum in the flow through the down corner water
walls and then through risers back to the drum .This closed circuit movement of boiler water
is termed as circulation . The water wall and water in this circuit absorb the heat energy
applied in the furnace & gate heated up.

This give rises to the formation to steam in the water walls. The water mixture of
water and steam continuously and move to the steam drum to its lightness .The mixture of
water and steam contniously displaced the colder water in the drum there by establishing a
natural circulation.

The separation of water particles and stem take place in the steam separator sand the
saturated steam is led into the upper heater for further heating and water particle fall back in
to the drum

SUPER HEATER:-

Super heater is meant to raise the temp. of steam i.e. the saturation temp .by
absorbing heat from flue gases .Limiting value of boiler is 540 degree celcious. Super heater
eliminate the formulation pf condensate during transporting of steam in pipe line and inside
the early stage of turbine, which is harmful to the turbine blade and pipe lines .

Super heater section is composed of four section viz. plates, pendant, rear, horizontals
and steam cooled walls. The plate section is located just above the furnace in front of the
furnace arc. The pladent section is located in the back of screen walls tubes. The rear
horizontal is located in the furnace rear gas pass above the economizer and the steam cooled
wall section comprises of side ,front rear, and roof of the vertical real gas pass.

Desuperheater are provided in between the finiak super heater and preheater to
control the super heated steam temp: feed water is used as a spray to control the temp. Super
heated to steam is lead into the H.P. turbine through main stram stop valve and hydraulically
operated high pressure quick closing stop valve (HPQCSV)governing valve .After doing the
useful work in the HP turbine the steam is returned to reheater through the cold reheat line.

12
REHEATER:-

Reheater are used to raise the temp of steam from which point of the energy had been
exerted in HP turbine with increasing no. of reheating stages. Reheating is continued till temp
of steam reaches to 540d/c. Reheating require additional equipment like as:-

(a) Heating surface.

(b) Boiler turbine connecting pipe and safety equipment like safety valve,
non return valve (NRV) .isolating valve, steam temp, regulating
equipment etc.

A reheater is composed of two section viz. front pendent vertical spaced, rear pendent
vertical spaced. The front pendent vertical section is located between the rear water wall
hanger tube and the super heater plate section.

The rear pendent vertical spaced section is locatd above the furnace arc between the
water cooled system wall tube and heat wall hanger tubes.

ECONOMIZER:-

The function of economizer in a steam generating unit is to absorb heat from the flue
gases and added this as sensible heat to feed water before the water enter the evorpating ckt:
of the boiler .

The coal of economizer are designed for horizontal placement which facilities the
draining of the coal and the favor the arrangement in second path of boiler.

Water flow from bottom to the top so that steam in any form during the heat transfer
can move along with water and prevent the block up steam, which will cause overheating and
failure of economizer.

13
AIRPREHEATER:-

Air preheater is a heat exchanger in which air temp. is raised by transferring heat from
other fluid such as flue gases. Since air heater can be successfully employed to reclaim heat
from flue gas at lower temp. Level so that it is possible so that the heat ejected to chimney
can be reduce to a great extent thus increasing the efficiency of boilers.

14
 TURBINE

INTRODUCTION:-

M/S BHEL Hardware has manufactured the steam turbine and their auxiliaries
installed .The turbine are three cylinder, compound 3000 rpm, double flow exhaust type
reheat unit with initial parameter of 13 kg/cm2 and 5 low pressure heart are feed .the high
pressure cylinder comprise of two curt is wheel as a regulation stage .Intermediate pressure
cylinder comprise of twelve stage and each of the double flow section of the LP cylinder
consist of four stage.

OPERATION:-

There are two lime steam line connecting the boiler to the turbine. The super heated
steam enter the HP turbine and strike its blades hence it energy of steam is converted in to
mechanical energy .the steam from HP turbine is reheated in reheater (boiler) and reheated
steam is sent to IP turbine through hot steam line (HRH). Here second stage of energy
conversion is take place .Then steam is sent to L P turbine from where it is ejected by
vacuum ejector and condensed.

Here are two cold reheat and two hot reheat line connecting the reheater and turbine.
In each of two live steam line one electrically operating isolating valve ,one water
separator and one quick closing stop valve are mounted .The direction of revolution of
turbine is clock wise when looking at turbine from front bearing pedestal. For the oil
lubrication of bearing and fore governing .The main oil pump driven shaft is assembled in to
the front bearing pedestal of turbine itself.

 ESP

E.S.P.THEORY:-

The full form of ESP is electro static preceptor .ESP is highly efficient device for extraction
of suspended particle and fly ash from the industrial flue gases .

WORKING PRINCIPLE: -

ESP can handle large volume of gases from which solid particles are to be removed .

Advantage of ESP are :

(a) High ash collection efficiency.

(b) Low resistance path for gas flow.

An ESP can be defined as a device that utilized electric forces to separate suspended particle
from flue gases.

WORKING STEPS:-

ESP consist of two sets of electrode , one in the form of thin wire, called discharge or
emitting electrode in the form of plates. the emitting electrode are placed in the center or mid
way between two plates and are two connected to –ve (negative) polarity of high voltage
DC source of order of 37 kv while collecting electrode are connecting to +ve (positive)
polarity.

The voltage gradient between electrode creates “CORONA DISCHARGE“ i.e. ionizing the
gas molecules .The dust particle present in the flue gases accure negative charge and get
deposit on collecting electrode . The deposited particle are removed by knocking the
electrode by a process a called “ RAPPING” done by “ RAPPING MOTORS “ .

20
 ASH HENDLING PLANT

INTRODUCTION:-

The ash handling system provide continuous collection of bottom ash from the furnace
hearth and its intermediate removal by hydro ejectors to a common slurry sump. It also
provide for removal of fly ash to the common slurry sump.

Each boiler is provided with ash precipitator for collecting the fly ash from the flue gases
with high efficiency .to minimize the dust mains and to reduce the water of ID (induced draft
) fan .the fly ash separated from where it is mixed with water to form slurry and disposed off
to pumping area by mean of hydro ash pumps .

Bottom ash from the boiler furnace is passed through slag crusher s and then slurred to the
slurry chamber to the suction of the disposal pumps. These are high pressure and low
pressure pump for this purpose. At at time one pump is working and other then are standby
.From the ash disposal pump house ash slurry is pumped through pipeline to the ash dump
area within about 1.5 km away from the ash disposal pump house .

To separate ash , discharge line are provided one for each unit but only one line is used .The
ash slurry from the two units is taken in one discharge line through electrically operated
valve.

 CONTROL AND INSTRUMENTION CIRCLE

INTRODUCTION:-

Control and instrumental play a major role in realizing the following objective of any power
plant.

(a) Safety for plant and personnel.

(b) Longer eqipment life

Since a lot of process are involved and distribute are frequent , the correction can be
carried out efficiency and quickly only by the introduction of atomic control system
eliminating any possible human error .

A power system is a combination of many individual eqipment and system and for
better performance of these individual equipments. the equipment are interdependent and
interrelated with each other . Electrical interlock system connect these individual eqipment
and operate s with required sequence. For example boiler is a system comprising milling
plant ,ID fan, FD fans PA fans etc.

These equipment are interlocked in such a way that they are started /shut down in
specific sequence in order to avoid damage to equipment and men .

Also equipment are so interlocked that in case of failure of running equipment to

discharge its function , the reserve one is automatically put into service .

A system of automatic sequence control simplifier the operator duty.

SSTPS have divided three sections in instrumental and control circle: -

1. SWAS package
2. FSSS package
3. ATRS package

 SWAS (STEAM WATER ANALYSIS SYSTEM)

INTRODUCTION: -

System water analysis is full form of swas. SWAS package is used for analysis of
steam sample coming from boiler .There are nine line coming from boiler.

The equipment is designed and assembled to enable conditioning of sample of boiler

water and steam by reducing the temperature and pressure on to a on line analyzer and a
normal sample may be drawn off as a required to monitor the chemical parameters etc.

There are two type of cooling system: -

SODIMAT

The measurement of sodium in industrial ultra pure waters s essential . The

measurement is based on a direct potentiometric technique, which uses highly sensitive
sodium glass electrode. The difference of potential between the glass electrode and the
reference electrode is directly proportional to the sodium concentration.

Modern high-pressure power plants require feed water of very high purity. Safety in that
sector is of great importance and the sodium measurement plays a specific role compared to
pH, conductivity and silica trace.

Actually sodium cations and anions are always linked. Most cations have a corrosive
influence in water and vapour cooling circuits. Became of this chemical link between sodium
cations and anions, sodium measurement presents particularly important risk of corrosion and
other effects. The SODIMAT uses a sodium sensitive glass electrode to measure sodium in a
sample which has been previously conditioned to a Ph>10.

HYDRASTAT

Low-carbon steel exhibits a significantly improved resistance to corrosion it in

contact with water of high alkalinity (pH 9-10).

High pressure circuits operating with the alkaline reign, therefore employ volatile
alkalizing agents such as ammonia in combination with hydrizne to elevate the feed water Ph
to a level > ph 9.0 .

The addition of hydrazine serve the dual function of an alkalizing agent as well as on
oxygen save energy thus lowering the level of corrosion. The anodic dissolution of iron in
low carbon steels is nominal at pH 9.5 provided the totally demineralized water is available
ammonia concentrations required to reach this high degree of alkalinity would be detrimental
to the copper tubes of the condenser because of dissolution of copper, thus imposing an upper
limit of ph 9-9.3.

24
CONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT

The electric conductivity measures the transport of electric change in any field. In
metal conductors the current flows by transport of electrons where as in solution it flows by
transportation such as Na+ and Cl- in which the higher transport of charges is the
conductance of the solution.

Conductivity is the capacity of a solution to conduct current.

In solution conductivity is more complicated than in conductors because several

species ensure the transport of charge for instance in drinking water the conductive species
registered are sodium, calcium, magnesium, ferrous cations, ferrites phosphates and nitrate
iron for slightly concentrated solution. The concentration of H+ protons and hydroxyl OH-
ions can no longer be neglected. Therefore leads to a non-liner variation of conductivity /
concentration.

 ATRS [Automatic Turbine Run Up System]

Introduction

Turbine start up is the most difficult operation. Each start up will be different. Many
parameters and procedures have to be scrupulously adhered to, as an error in human decision
will result in heavier damage to the unit. Therefore modern day machines of higher capacity
or machines ,which are to be started frequently ,are to be provided with automatic run up
synchronizing loading gears.

Under normal condition this gear will accelerate the turbine from barring gear speed
uninterrupted at a rate determined by the initial turbine temp. condition. Under hot start
condition ,this run up period may be of order of 5 to 10 minutes and comprises two zones ,the
first half is relatively slow rate up to 1000rpm ,the second half is a fast rate from 1000 to
3000 rpm ( a range which includes critical speeds ). In the event of abnormal condition this
program of acceleration is temporarily held (except in the regions of critical speed ),or in
more severe conditions, reserved or tripped.

The turbovisory instruments moniter the abnormal condition. The gear if selected for
the function also effects automatic synchronizing . this scheme matches the frequency voltage
and time phase of generator output to that of existing bus bar and close the circuit braker.

Automatic loading gear enables the machine to be loaded automatically at the selected
rate ,through the control of governor speed motor. The supervisory gear also will be in use
during this function. The rate of loading varies widely from 5% per minute during the initial
block loading to 20% M.C.R.. and also condition of the plant when the cold or hot start.

28
 All control function related to turbine is realized by microprocessor based
PROCONTROL ATRS System. This is based on user-friendly programming language
p10 .The system is devided in three sub groups :-

1. SGC-OIL

It consist of three types of oil pumps:

1. Auxillary oil pump – 2 AC

2. Emergency oil pump- I AC & I DC

3 Jacking oil pump – 1 AC & 1 DC

Its function is:-

• Estabilishing lubricating oil & jacking oil supply.

• Putting the turbine on barring gear speed.

• Taking of JOP when sufficient speed is achived.

• Taking of AOP when turbine main oil pump has taken over.

WHICH OIL PUMP WORKS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS OF TURBINE?

 2. SGC-CONDENSOR & EVACUATION

Condensate evacuation pump & vaccum operation.

It comprises of keeping at leat one of the two CEP’s in operation & evacuation the
non- condensate gases from the system, maintaining the desired level of condenser pressure
when turbine is in operation.

3. SGC-TURBINE

It is used for automatic synchronization of machine to the grid. Procontrol requires

serial data exchange confined to the electronic room, process computer and control room.

PROCONTROL has following basic type of electronic modules:-

• Individual Control Modules- These implemented to control, supervise,moniter

protect individual valves ,pumps fans etc. modules equipped with a
microprocessor built in i/o and dedicated control entity to control element. A
serial i/o interface to the local bus to receive process signals required for
interfaces & permissive logic. Hardware inter face is also requires to control
room. Modules are AS45 ,AS46,AS47.

• Programmable Processor – this module used for automation and superimposed

on the individual control modules and allows building control, protection and
alarms. Module is –PR05.

• Input / Output Modules- various modules for input/output capabilities and

connected to local bus. These modules can handle single, double throw
contacts thermocouple, RTd’s milliAmp. signals etc. or to provide milliAmp.
voltage electronic contact output signals.

FURNACE SAFEGUARD SUPERVISOR SYSTEM

This system is designed to ensure the execution of a safe, orderly operating

sequence in start up & shut down of fuel firing equipment & to prevent errors of omission &
commission in following such a safe operating procedure. This system takes care that every
increment of fuel input corresponds to the available ignition energy inside the furnace. The
following functions are entrusted to such end automatic burner management system:

1) Furnace purge supervision

2) Igniter control
3) Secondary air damper control
4) Flame scanner intelligence
5) Boiler trip protection

This system includes:

1) All Boiler Protections

(a) All Id Fans Off

Id (included draft) Fans suck the flue gases to the chimney through ESP. so if no
ID fan is on the flue gases can’t be let out of yhe boiler. As the such here we give up a trip
command.
32
 (b)Both FD fans off

Fd (Force draft ) fans bring air to the furnace for combustion of coal. If no air is
let in the furnace then complete combustion of coal does not occur.

NOTE:- There is a general principle i.e. fans On are to be greater or equal to FD fans are
ON.

(c) Furnace Pressure

MAX – 150mmwcl
MIN - -175mmwcl

If furnace is generally kept at 10mmwcl. If furnace is high all gases will gush out
from all side. If low furnace will contract.

(d) Drum level

MAX - +250mm
MIN - -250 mm

If drum level is very than steam formed will be more wet and may lead to more
work for dryers. Wet steam may cause corrosion of turbine blades. If very low level than
water is insufficient and may cause melting of boiler tubes.

(e) Unit Flame Failures

If the flame is not available then the boiler trips .

(f) Loss of All fuels

If there is no fuel available then the boiler trips.

(g) Air Flow<30%

Air flow from FD fans & PA fans combined should be more than 30% of
maximum required.

33
 (h) Re-Header Protection

Re header is located in the hottest part of the furnace. If the steam from HP
TURBINE i.e. CRH line is not able to go reheater due to HP bypass closed and HPCV (high
pressure control valve) closed ,then reheater can’t get steam and it’s tube may get melted.
Similarly, if IPCV (intermediate pressure control valve) is closed then LP

Bypass is used to divert steam from HRH line (hot reheat line ) to condenser. also
if GCB(grid circuit braker) opens then hp bypasss is opened.

(i) 24/220 V DC Supply

It is necessary for the system working i.e.24 V for the control panel and alarm
system while 220 V for oil firing system.

2) Oil Firing System

We have got their levels/elevation from where oil is fired

AB --> heavy oil & light oil firing

CD -->only heavy oil firing
EF -->only heavy oil firing

Unit is light up using LFO with air. After –ward it is continued using HFO with steam. At
diff. levels we have the ignition system to ignite oil. We are also having flame scanners.
which monitor thr local fireball in the furnace. This system works on 220 V DC ans solenoids
are present.

3) Soot Blower Control System

As the coal burn a large amount of ash is generated which clings to the wall & outer surface
of tubes so we have a number of soot blower to blow the soot as it reduces thermal efficiency
of tubes.

4) Secondary Air Damper Control(SADC)

It is based on tangential firing concept so as to create an imaginary fireball such that oil ,air &
coal mix properly. It controls 6 nos: of fuel(coal) air dampers (A,B,C,D,E,F elevation),3 nos:
of fuel(oil) air dampers(AB,CD,Ef) & 6 nos: of auxillary air dampers(AB,BC,CD,DE,EF,FF
elevation) & 2 nos: of over fire dampers (lower & upper).
34
These dampers help in proper combustion by supplying air using FD fans to the furnace,
which can be controlled using dampers/flaps. These auxillary air dampers maintain a
predetermined set differential pressure between furnacre & wind box.

5)Auxilary Pressure Reducing Desuperheating (APRDS)

There are many places where steam is required like raising temp. of HFO & LFO system etc.
the steam for these is obtained by taking a tapping from main steam. As the main steam is at
pressure 145kg/cm2 & temp 540 C. the steam required is to be at 11 kf/cm2 & temp 340 C .
so we have to both reduced temp & pressure. This is achieved by spraying water ,which helps
to reduce temperature.

FURNACE PURGE

It is required after a boiler trip out ,before relighting the boiler ,to expel all
unburnt fuel particles, vapour etc. from the boiler so that when is introduced during
light up ,possibilities of an explosion are avoided. Till the boiler is purged no fuel mu

 CONCLUSION

My practical training for 30 days during this summer vacation at SSTPS (Raj.) Was very
successful in all respect. I learn a lot of things which may be milestone in my carrier practical
implementation of theoretical acceptance are indispensable for each and every students this is
an important ingredient in completion of over all knowledge process. The present time need
more perspective and systematic alignment of student along with his knowledge and we will
continue to indulge in such brain storming session to make ourselves abreast with a latest and
trend in technology. In the and we would like to conclude that working own temperature
conversion project not only boosted our confidence but it help us in clearing our doubts
related to MATLAB. We would like to thank to all who directly or indirectly helped us in the
project
