PROCEDURE FOR REFRACTORY DRY-OUT

OBJECTIVE The objective of this procedure is to ensure proper drying, curing of refractory applied on furnace and other components.

The castable refractory usually undergoes considerable chemical changes, during initial heating. Controlled heating, through these reactions ensures maximum strength. While heating there must be free air flow over the system to ensure removal of moisture.

PRE-REQUISITES In order to commence refractory dry out, the following pre requisites /inputs have to be ensured.

Ensure the availability of adequate feed water, adequate wooden logs to the required sizes, Draft system and instruments required for the Boiler firing.

Fill the drum with the specified quality feed water 50mm below the normal water level since the water level in gauge will raise as heat is absorbed.

Ensure the availability of adequate qualified boiler operating staff/operators.

PROCEDURE

Refractory baking/dry out cycle requires very slow and controlled heating of recovery as recommended by the refractory manufactures. Please refer typical heating schedule for refractory baking which are as follows. Thermal stresses will be produced if heating rate is too rapid.

BOILER COMMISSIONING MANUAL

AVANT-GARDE

GREENESOL POWER SYSTEMS (P) LIMITED DETAILED ENGINEERING FOR 130 TPH BOILER A/C. M/S.MADRAS SUGARS LIMITED

Longer period of low temperature drying causes more even heat distribution resulting better refractory dry out.

Place the fire wood on the grate and light up the unit with wood to dry out the refractory slowly.

Ensure that rate of heating is maintained at the rate of 25c per hour

Raise the temperature of flue gas at boiler outlet to 100c hold the temperature to 10 hours at 100c for soaking refractory castables. If the temperature falls increase the firing rate and maintain the required temperature.

Then raise the flue gas temperature at boiler outlet to 250c and hold it 6 hours for soaking refractory castables.

Again raise flue gas temperature at boiler outlet to 350c and hold it for 10 hours for soaking refractory castables.

Once the fire is extinguished the boiler may be allowed to cool down naturally keeping FD, ID & SA fans off. Fan auxiliary dampers should be in fully closed condition. A thorough examination is to be made to check refractory condition after boiler is cooled down. Minor cracks (up to 3mm) are to be filled with castable refractory.

NOTE Keep open all the vent lines on the boiler drum, top super heater headers 100 % through out the refractory dry out period.

Maintain normal water level in the drum through out the period by draining through CBD/IBD and if required water can be fed to maintain the drum level.

PROCEDURE FOR SAFETY VALVE SETTING OBJECTIVE The objective of this procedure to outline the procedures involved in setting the safety valves to the designed set pressures before allowing the boiler to go for commercial steaming.

DEFINITION OF TERMS SET PRESSURE This is the pressure at which the valve begins to lift from the valve seat.

This pressure is set sufficiently above the normal working pressure of the boiler in order to avoid unnecessary simmering such as induced by normal fluctuations in steam pressure when boiler on load.

FULL LIFT PRESSURE This pressure at which the valve reaches its fully open position

CLOSING PRESSURE Closing pressure is the pressure at which the valve reseats.

BLOW DOWN The blow down is the difference between the set pressure and the closing pressure expressed as a percentage of set pressure.

Blow down % = set pressure closing pressure ----------------------------------------Set pressure

PREPARATION Fill the boiler to the gauge glass water level.

Fit the calibrated pressure gauge to test connection on steam drum.

Close the boiler main steam stop valve.

Open the super heater drain valve.

Keep the gags ready; fit the gags once the pressure reaches to 60 % of normal working pressure.

Open all air release valves.

Close the I.D fan dampers and start the I.D fan, when fan is up to the speed open damper to maintain draft.

Close the F.D fan dampers and start the F.D fan, when fan is up to the speed open damper.

Light up the Boiler and adjust the air flow.

Slowly raise the pressure at about 2 kg/cm (g) and ensure the air is released through air release valves, and then the air release valves may be closed.

GREENESOL POWER SYSTEMS (P) LIMITED DETAILED ENGINEERING FOR 130 TPH BOILER A/C. M/S.MADRAS SUGARS LIMITED

SETTING THE VALUES This operation involves increasing and decreasing the heat input to the boiler to raise and lower the steam pressure. The set pressure and closing pressure of each valve is checked and adjusted in turn from the highest pressure valve first to the lowest pressure last.

Steam flow through super heater must be maintained and controlled at an adequate rate by manipulation of super heater drain/vent.

Raise steam pressure slowly to set pressure for the first valve.

When sound of escaping steam is heard note the pressure reading on calibrated gauge .Note the pressure when the full lift point is reached

Allow the pressure to fall and note the pressure at which the valve closes.

If the noted pressures are not as specified by design, then adjustments must be made and process of checking repeated until correct reading is obtained.

During the test a close watch must be kept on drum water level, as steam will be lost at each lift of the safety valves as well as continuous discharge through super heater drain/vent. Control the feed to compensate these losses.

Repeat the test for each valve in descending order of set pressures. The valve which was set already should be left un gagged.
