The Feed water Pumped by Boiler Feed water pumps enter the steam drum through Feed regulating
station designated for each Boiler. Each FRS station consist of 1 X 30% Feed regulating Control valve
(06-FV1844C, 07-FV1845C, 08-FV1846C, 09-FV1847C) and 2 X 100% Feed regulating control valve (06-
FV1844A/B, 07-FV1845A/B, 08-FV1846A/B, 09-FV1847A/B) in parallel. The feed water from the steam
drum enter to water wall tubes and Evaporator tubes through Natural Circulation because of the
density difference between feedwater and steam generated. The heat required to convert the feed
water to steam is provided by burning of Fuel inside Furnace. The saturated steam rises up inside the
tube and gets collected back into steam drum. From steam drum the saturated steam taken out and
passes to Super heater I and II coils hanging in Furnace and convection zone respectively of boiler
from where the saturated steam pick up the heat from Flue gas and get converted into superheater
steam. The superheated steam is collected into superheater header and flow to Boiler Main steam
stop valve to VHP common header.
UB feed water and steam chemistry is continuous monitored using online analyzer and taking regular
sample at sampling station. Each UB are assigned with feedwater, Blow down, Saturated and
Superheater steam sampling station with necessary analyzer. Samples are cooled to 25 ⁰C using ACW
cooling water before passing to analyzer. The decision to doze HP dozing chemical (Tri Sodium
Phosphate solution) to boiler depends upon the value of analyzer and sample results. HP dozing
chemical are added at prerequisite time directly into steam drum through HP dozing skid. The rate of
the chemical dozing is regulated and adjusted by changing the stroke of HP dozing pumps (2 X 100%).
Each UB is assigned with dedicated HP dozing pumps with common metering and solution preparation
tank. Refer P&ID no. 1-38101-03198-S01. Steam drum is also provide with MOVs for CBD and IBD

regulated by the Inlet Guide vane (IGV) installed at inlet of FD fan which receive inputs from Air/Fuel
combustion controller. Air before entering to Wind box area is passed through SCAPH and RAPH which
increase the Air temperature at inlet of Furnace by gaining heat from Exhaust Flue gas from furnace.
Necessary dampers at inlet and bypass of RAPH and SCAPH are given to isolate the APH as a
when required depending upon the need of operation condition. Heat air get collected in wind box
from where the Air get distributed as per the opening and closing of Combustion air damper installed
on each Burner. The control of the combustion damper is regulated through BMS. IT is basically an
Open/Close type of dampers. There are a set of manual operated damper called Primary and
secondary air dampers to regulate the flow and flame length and intensity for each burner. The
Damper positions are manually adjusted during commissiong and need not required frequent
intervention during normal operation once set.
The fuel and air are mixed and ignited inside the Burner and Flue gas generated is then passes
through different heat transfer zone of furnace. The hot flue gas from furnace first passes to Primary
SH and then to Secondary superheater. After superheater the next heat transfer zone is Economizer
where feed water before entering the steam drum get heater just below the saturation temperature
at the given pressure through flue gas. Flue gas there after enters into RAPH. RAPH is regenerative
type rotary APH where Hot flue gas transfer heat to Combustion air from FD fan. After RAPH the flue
gas which will be at the temperature range of 160-140 ⁰C enter into stack installed inside the RCC
chimney. Stack is equipped with stack monitoring devices like Sox, NOx, SPM, CO and HC analyzer
which is also one of the mandatory required of State Pollution control board (PPCB).

In furnace, combustion Fuel with Air occurs with the help of Burner and atomizing air and Pilot gas
burners. Air and fuel is ignited inside the furnace after proper atomization using atomizing air from
atomizing air compressor. 8 nos. of low NOx burners are used to ignite the fuel. Normal LCO/Naphtha is
used as fuel for normal operation while RFG is a standby fuel. Each Burner is capable to burn both fuel
but only one fuel at a time in each burner. However BMS permit to use both fuel simultaneously in
boiler during normal operation. BMS system is used as safety manager for safe guarding the Boiler
during any emergency or abnormality.
Fuel supply to each burner is regulated by the common supply header control valve which operates
based on the demand signal from DCS. Similarly Air flow is regulated by IGV installed at inlet of FD fan
which regulate the supply of Air to Boiler as per demand.
The Generated Main steam temperature is controlled using spary attemperator system. The steam
temperature is controlled by spraying the Boiler Feed water directly into the steam path. Spray water
is tapped from the Boiler feed water supply header to Boiler. The spray station is provided with a main

The Feedwater Pumped by HRSG Feed water pumps enter the steam drum through Feed regulating
station designated for each Boiler. Each FRS station consist of 1 X 30% Feed regulating Control valve
(04/05-FV1816C) and 2 X 100% Feed regulating control valve (04/05-FV1816A/B) in parallel. The
controls of this CV are in steam drum level controllers which regulate the flow of feed water to steam
drum. The feed water from the steam drum enters to Modules through Natural Circulation because of
the density difference between feedwater and steam generated. The heat required to convert the
feedwater to steam is provided by burning the Fuel in duct burner zone with the help of exhaust Flue
gas from Gas Turbine. The saturated steam rises up inside the module and gets collected back into
steam drum. From steam drum the saturated steam taken out and passes to Super heater I and II coils

the heat from Flue gas and get converted into superheater steam. The superheated steam is collected
into superheater header and flow to Boiler Main steam stop valve to VHP common header. HRSG feed
water and steam chemistry is continuous monitored using online analyzer and taking regular sample
at sampling station. Each HRSG are assigned with feedwater, Blow down, Saturated and Superheater
steam sampling station with necessary analyzer. Samples are cooled to 25 ⁰C using ACW cooling water
before passing to analyzer. The decision to doze HP dozing chemical (Tri Sodium Phosphate solution)
to boiler depends upon the value of analyzer and sample results. HP dozing chemical are added at
prerequisite time directly into steam drum through HP dozing skid. The rate of the chemical dozing is
regulated and adjusted by changing the stroke of HP dozing pumps (2 X 100%). Each HRSG is assigned
with dedicated HP dozing skid consisting of dozing pumps with metering and solution preparation
tank. Refer P&ID no. 2-80-219-80157. Steam drum is also provide with MOVs for CBD and IBD
operation, which allows to drain the feedwater cum saturated steam from steam drum thus removing
the sludge formed due to chemical reaction between HP dozed chemical and feedwater.
For each HRSG, the Flue gas consist of Inlet duct with duct burners after Guillotine Dampers, Scanner
fans, Augmenting air fans, Seal air fans and Exhaust chimney. The Exhaust gases from GT are diverted
to HRSG through Diverter and Guillotine dampers. Both Dampers logic are in GT control. Once HRSG
healthy signal is available, first Guillotine damper open command is generated and once the Guillotine
damper open feedback healthy signal received, Diverter damper is command to open which allow GT
exhaust gas to divert through HRSG modules. Refer Control scheme no 3-36502-69008 for Guillotine
and Diverter damper controls. The Flue gas first passes through duct burner zone where LCO/
Naphtha and RFG burners are installed which burn the fuel injected into system with the help of Flue
gas from GT.
NOTE: HRSG is not installed with FD fan for fuel firing. Augmenting Air fan is used only for Naphtha
/LCO fuel firing
The high temperature flue gas then passes over the Water filled Modules hanging in the flue gas path

extended fins for effective heat transfer area. There are total 54 nos. of Module and its arrangement
is as below:
The flue gases after WPH/MUH module enter into steel chimney. Chimney is equipped with stack
monitoring devices like Sox, NOx, SPM, CO and HC analyzer which is also one of the mandatory
required of State Pollution control board (PPCB).
All Feed water headers and steam header drain are collected into Water and steam drain header from
where the drain are diverted to IBD vessel. Interconnection is provided between Water drain header
and Steam header with a provision of Initial filling line for Boiler and Hydro test pressure connection
provision.
From SH I inlet header a tapping of 2” is taken for Soot blower (SB) Operation. Each HRSG consist of
total 16 nos. of rotary type of SBs. The drains of SB are diverted to IBD tanks for HRSG. The pressure
control valve (04/05-PCV8174) in the upstream of SB supply header regulates the steam supply by
getting the pressure signal from pressure transmitter (04/05-PT8174) in the downstream pressure of
PCV.
5163 rated rpm with HSD as a main fuel and LCO/Naphtha/RFG as secondary fuel. Gas Turbine (GT) is
equipped with GT driven Air compressor having compressor ratio of 12 with 17 stages of axial flow
design. GT is equipped with flowing accessories as well:
Diesel Engine for start up

The combustion zone is a reverse flow type which includes 10 combustion chamber having following
components; liners, flow sleeves, transition piece and cross fire tubes. Flame detectors, cross fire
tubes, fuel nozzles and spark plugs igniters are also part of combustion zone. In reverse flow
arrangement high pressure air from the compressor discharge is directed around the transition piece
and into the annular space that surround each of the 10 combustion chamber liners. Compressor air
flow radials inwards through small holes in the liner wall and impinge against the rings that are brazed
to the inner wall. The air then flow right towards the liner discharge end and form a film of air that
shields the liner wall from the hot combustion gases.
The compressed air enters the reaction zone of combustion chamber through fuel nozzle swirl tip and
through metering holes in both the cap and liner. The hot combustion gas from reaction zone passes
through thermal soaking zone and then to dilution zone where additional air is mixed with
combustion gases. Along the length of combustion liner and liner cap an opening are provided whose
function is provide a film of air for cooling the wall of liner and cap.
Spark Plug provided is of two in number and installed in adjacent combustion chamber. Spark plug is
high voltage type, retractable type. The main spark ignites fuel in combustion chamber and remaining
chamber fuel get ignited through cross fire tubes which connect reaction zone of all 10 nos of
combustion chamber. For sensing the flame inside combustion chamber an UV type flame detector is
installed on two adjacent combustion chambers. If the flame washes out is sense by any one out of
two sensors, only an annunciation is given back to operator for corrective action.
Each combustion zone is equipped with fuel nozzle capable to ignite both gas as well as Liquid fuel. GT
supplied at our end is design for Refinery Gas as gaseous fuel while HSD/LCO/ Naphtha fuel as liquid
fuel. Gaseous fuel is directly admitted into combustion zone while liquid fuel is ignited through proper
atomizing air in the nozzle swirl chamber. Transition piece divert the hot gases from combustion zone
to turbine section.
Turbine section of GT is provided with 3 stages, each stage consist of one set of stationary blades and
one set of moving blades. Moving blades are mounted on rotor while stationary blades are mounted
on turbine casing. Exhaust of turbine zone consists of exhaust frame, exhaust diffuser, nozzle and
shrouds. Turbine rotor must be cooled to maintain reasonable operating temperature and therefore,
cooling is provided by means of positive flow of cool air radially outward through a space between
wheel and buckets and the stator into the main gas stream. This area is called wheel space. The
exhaust gas from turbine outlet is diverted to exhaust diffuser where partial velocity energy is
recovered as pressure energy. From exhaust diffuser, the hot gases is divert to exhaust plenum which
is turn divert the flue gas either to open atmosphere is GT is selected for Open cycle operation or
towards HRSG inlet zone if GT is selected for Close cycle operation.
The control inside the GT is controlled by Mark VI controllers which regulates the Temperature and
load on turbine by regulating the fuel and air flow to GT. Details of GT controller are discuss in details
in chapter 9.

which regulate the stroke of CV as per demand generation from EHTC (Governor system) of turbine.
Steam enter to rotor area is regulated with set of nozzle fitted below the each 5 set of control valve.
The governing philosophy adopted here is called Nozzle governing which allow the steam to enter the
turbine blade area at particular location. STG is provided with 17 stages, each having one set of fixed
blades and one set of moving blades. Each stage of STG is principally reaction type only inlet nozzle is
Impulse type. The pressure inside HP wheel chamber will be 61.34 Kg/cm2 (a). This parameter need to
keep monitor continuously, any increase in pressure is a sign of Blade deposition.
After doing the work on the moving blade, steam is exhaust in surface condenser which is at a
pressure less than atm. i.e. at 0.08 Kg/cm2 (a) which is equivalent to -0.92 Kg/cm2 g. Here the cooling
water cools the steam and thus condense into water. The condense steam get collected inside Hotwell
from where the Condensate extraction pump suck the condensate and divert back to Deaerator
through CST.
Here steam turbine is provided with 2 extraction point at certain stage. The first extraction point is
called HP extraction point which is provided with a regulating control valve and servo motor which
operates based on command from EHTC. More opening of HP extraction CV mean, lesser HP steam
flow to process. The steam parameter at HP extraction point is 40 Kg/cm2 g and 400 ⁰C. The second
extraction point is called MP extraction point which is provided with a regulating control valve and
servo motor which operates based on command from EHTC. More opening of MP extraction CV mean,
lesser MP steam flow to process. The steam parameter at MP extraction point is 12 Kg/cm2 g and 260
⁰C. The remaining steam work in last few stages of Turbine after MP extraction before condensing to
Surface condenser.
The condensate collected in Hotwell due to condensing of exhaust steam in surface condenser by
cooling water is sucked by CEP which re-circulates the condensate back to Deaerator. The discharge of
CEP first goes to Hogger Ejector condenser, Primary and secondary Ejector condenser and finally to
Gland steam ejector condenser by which the steam used for ejection at respective station is

backed up by the FRP cooling water system which is used only during Black out for GT start up. FRP
Cooling water system consist of two FRP cooling tower cell with Fan (02 nos., 575-P-00-580B) and FRP
cooling water Pump (01 nos., 575-P-00-582B). Refer P&ID no. 0-038101-00936-S01/02. ACW cooling
water Pumps are vertically mounted in same forebay of Cooling Tower. ACW pump discharge common
header is divided into 04 major areas which are:
a. ACW to cooling water pump area for GB, Turbo drive and gland seal cooling
b. ACW to STG and BPTG Auxiliaries along with LP drain pump and Sample coolers for UBs
c. ACW to all Boiler Feed pumps, TD-CTP, Blow down pumps sealing and cooling
d. ACW to GT and HRSG auxiliaries including GBC, Air compressor and HP nitrogen compressors.
e. ACW blow down to RO plant (Refinery) and ACW as alternative of Service water for all UB and
HRSG boilers CBD vessel steam inching
ACW supply header to GT consists of ON/OFF SOV (10-UV4827). The SOV normally remain in open
condition but will get closed on sensing Black out condition from ECS. A direct signal is incorporate to
cut the supply of ACW to GT area. This is done because after blackout is sensed, the ACW pump will
be tripped condition and FRP cooling tower Pumps and fan is used to charge the ACW system for GT
start up. The supply for FRP cooling tower fan and pumps are from Black start DG set. This ensures
that during Black out, FRP cooling tower system provide necessary ACW for any one GT start up. Once
plant get normalized and ACW pump started and header get charged, SOV can be energized to Open
to ensure ACW from ACW pumps and thus stopping the FRP cooling water system.
FRP cooling Tower basin make up is coming from raw water supply coming from Refinery (tapped
before Main cooling tower make SOV 10-UV4777).

for Naphtha/LCO fuel atomization in HRSG and UB boilers. CPP is equipped with dedicated Atomizing
Air compressor (03 nos., 03 X 50%, Centrifugal type, Discharge Pressure: 7 Kg/cm2 g, 4600 Nm3/hr).
The Discharge of the Atomizing air compressor is collected into Surge air receiver (Capacity 20 m3).
From the receiver the Atomizing air is directly supplied to each UB and HRSG.
In order to cater the second demand, from the Atomizing air supply header to UB and HRSG a tapping
of 2” is taken for Plant Air utilization in CPP. This will cater the need of Plant air demand during
blackout condition. From the Atomizing air compressor receiver tank, a connection for Air booster
Compressor (01 nos., Reciprocating type, 500 Nm3/hr @ 30 Kg/cm2 g) is taken. This air booster
compressor sucked the pressurized air at 7 Kg/cm2 g and discharge at 30 Kg/cm2 g. The discharge
header from the Air booster compressor fills 03 nos. of receiver tank each of capacity 22 m3. Out of 03
nos. of receiver tank, 02 nos. are used to store the Pressurized atomizing air at 30 kg/cm2 g. This
stored atomizing air will be used only during Black out condition for 01 nos. of survive UB Boiler
operation demand. Necessary NRV is kept in the supply header to Atomizing air to UB to ensure that
no reverse flow occur during black out. The Atomizing air from both the receiver are combined and
then pass through Self-regulating pre-set Pressure reducing Control valve (PRV) thus reducing the
atomizing air pressure from 30 Kg/cm2 g back to 7 Kg/cm2 g.
Another 01 receiver which received Air from Air booster compressor is used to cater the IA demand of
CPP during black out or non-availability of IA from Refinery. Atomizing Air stored in the receiver is first
passes through self-regulation de-Pressure station (PVRV) which reduces the pressure to 5-6 Kg/cm2
g. The atomizing air then diverted to Air Drier which removes moisture and thus converts atomizing
air to Instrument air to meet exact IA pressure demand. The IA from this system is than connected to
main IA supply header of CPP through appropriate NRV installed near tapped off. Also Main IA supply
header of CPP consists of NRV at B/L which avoid IA back to IA header of refinery during refinery black
out condition.
Blow Down system of CPP comprises of Blow down vessels for each Boilers, STGs, BPTG and Deaerator
/ LP heaters/BFP DT, blow down collecting Pits, Blow down Transfer pumps from Pit to transfer
header to Refinery RO Plant. Refer P&ID no. 2-381-01-00862-S01/S02/S03/S04 and 0-24-400-80706
Blow down from each Boiler is collected in respective boiler CBD and IBD vessel. CBD being given from
steam drum having High Pressure steam, in CBD vessel the high temperature saturated water/steam
get flashed from which the steam get collected on CBD vessel top and taken out by diverted back to
Deaerator as LP steam. The Flash condensate in CBD vessel is diverted to IBD vessel. IBD vessel is
Open to atmosphere. Other Boiler Steam and water circuit header drain are also diverted to IBD
vessel. A Provision of service water / CT Blow down water are provided in IBD vessel for quick
Quenching of flash condensate.
The cool condensate i.e. Blow down from IBD is forwarded to UB # 1 and 2, UB # 3 and 4 and HRSG
Blow down Pit respectively through gravity having siphon arrangement. The Blow down collected in
each pit is pumped by Blow down transfer pumps (02 X 100%) for each tank to Main blow down
transfer pit.
Similarly drains from STG # 1, STG # 2, BPTG and LP heater/BFP DT/Deaerator are routed to their
respective flash vessel. Each Flash vessel is provided with quick quenching arrangement as mentioned
above for UBs. Drain from STG # 1, STG # 2 and BPTG flash vessel are commonly routed to STG blow
down pit from where the Blow down transfer pump, pumped the BD to Main blow down pit. While
the drain from LP heater/BFP DT/Deaerator is directly routed to Main blow down pit. All CPP boiler
and steam blow down are finally collected in Main Blow down pit from where the Main Blow down pit
transfer pumps, pushes the BD to Refinery RO plant.
recommended to start the GT on FG and also requires an inert gas purging system to separate “high
hydrogen fuel gas” from compressor discharge hot air for safe operation of the Gas Turbine. Nitrogen
coming from Refinery is bone dry type. Nitrogen for HP nitrogen is tapped from Nitrogen supply
header for CPP. Two no. of Gas booster compressors (2 X 100%) compressed the nitrogen from 7
Kg/cm2 g to 40.5 Kg/cm2 g and stored in 4 nos. of receiver tank in parallel operation each of capacity
of 25 m3. The HP Nitrogen is then depressurized in a set of self-regulating Pressure reducing valve (04
nos. in parallel) for each GT supply header. The set of each PVRV are being monitored by checking the
downstream header pressure to GT. The depressurized HP nitrogen is than passed to GT area which is
then connected to FG supply header inside GT B/L.
The Design basis for the HP nitrogen system is that both the Gas Turbine will run on Fuel gas. Quantity
of HP nitrogen system is consider keeping in mind that during normal operation of GT on fuel gas at
any instant of time, only one GT will trip. Tripping of both GT is considered as a remote possibility,
hence not considered during design stage of HP nitrogen system. Also the trip of GT is consider to
infrequent and hence for design basis of HP nitrogen system one trip per week for GT is considered.
Based on the above basis the maximum quantity required of HP nitrogen is 160 Sm3. These include
the Total Quantity of Nitrogen required during normal operation of GT, Trip purging of one GT, False
start purging of tripped GT, Nitrogen required during changeover from Liquid to Gas and at the same
movement second running GT trips which sums up to 160 Sm3. Refer Sizing criteria Document no.

isolate non-emergency non process loads during single boiler sustenance.
CPP is design to take care of Blackout operation. Capacity Installation of Power generation and steam
generation is enough to meet the 11 MMTPA requirements of Refinery. But considering the worst
condition of complete blackout i.e. failure of all power generating equipment and non-availability of
PSEB power, CPP is design to operate one Utility Boiler for next 30 min of operation during blackout
which cater the needs of Refinery as well as CPP steam demand for safe shutdown of refinery units.
Operating Philosophy of CPP during Power blackout conditions are mentioned below:

The Chemical used for CPP Operation are basically divided into broadly 3 categories:
Note 1: The finer adjustments of both LP and HP dosing have to be made based on the chemical
analysis of Cyclohexaylamine, hydrazine and phosphate during normal running of the boiler.
Note 2: Cyclohexaylamine solution also has to be taken as a 0.5 to 1% solution and dosed along with
hydrazine. The solution dosing rate has to be fine-tuned based on the chemical analysis of hydrazine
and Cyclohexaylamine in the condensate / feed water samples.
NOTE 3:
***The higher dosing rate of TSP 50 LPH is given, considering the extreme case of higher level
residual phosphate , 20 ppm as PO4 and emergency boiler operation with higher and design blow
down rate of 5 %. But during normal operation of the boiler, the Phosphate (residual) level in Boiler
drum will be maintained 5 - 10 ppm and blow down rate will be less than 2 % and hence during
normal operation, the TSP dosing rate will come down to 10 litre / hr. (TSP concentration in the
dosing tank must be 2% on Na3PO4.12H2O) Hence consumption will come down and the dosing rate
and consumption have to be based on analysis.
Cooling Water treatment facilities including side stream filters, anti-scalant, biological control &
other dosing systems as per requirement. Dosing of the closed cooling water system is envisaged to
control Scaling, Microbiological Growth and Material Deposition. The quality of make-up water for
condenser cooling water system is considered as per the inputs provided by HMEL/EIL during
contract stage. As per the calculations the Langlier Saturation Index (LSI) is (+0.2 to +0.5) i.e. there is
a tendency for scaling. A proper dosing program for scale and corrosion inhibition will be provided.
The following treatment is considered for the cooling water system:
FRP day storage tanks, dosing/metering pumps, piping up to cooling tower cold water channel etc
will be provided for the continuous dosing chemicals. Slug dosing equipment (as required) will be
provided. Personal Protection Equipment gloves, Helmets etc (as required) will also be provided.

CHAPTER - 5
PREPARATIONS FOR START-UP (PRE-COMMISIONING)
Some of the pre-commissioning works can be carried out simultaneously along with
construction. But, care in the organization of this work is necessary so that it will not interfere
with construction work. It is most important to plan schedule and record with checklists and
test schedules all the preliminary operation and to co-ordinate the construction program.
Once contractor completes work, sections of the unit should be checked out by both HMEL
and EIL personnel in those areas. Immediately punch lists that indicate the deviations from the
EIL design specifications, should be written following inspection of those areas, and distributed
to the contractor. In this manner mistakes in construction can be found and corrected early.
Captive power plant includes number of segments, like wise; Utility boilers, Gas turbines,
HRSG’s, STG’s (condensing with extraction & back pressure), Condensate storage & transfer
unit, Deaerator and Boiler feed water pumps, Chemical dosing system, CBD/IBD System,
Cooling tower, Gas booster compressor skid, Nitrogen booster compressor skid, Fuel storage
& forwarding skid, Atomizing air compressor/ emergency air back up.EDG & Electrical
substation .
Inspection of the CPP plant can be basically divided into the following sub sections:
Equipments
Piping
Supporting systems (pumps, Vessels, Exchangers, Heaters, Blowers, Fans, compressors
etc)
Instrumentation / Electrical system
Chemicals Inventory
Inspect thoroughly equipment parts, instrumentations (TG’S, PG’S, Flow elements, vibration
monitoring) PSV’S, ERV’S, Equipment protection system, and electrical system etc.
Readiness of upstream & downstream systems of equipment must be ensured prior to any
startup operation activity.
ALL INSPECTIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT USING THE STANDARD “PRE START-
UP SAFETY REVIEW”. EACH SYSTEM OR MAJOR PIECE OF EQUIPMENT SHOULD
HAVE ITS OWN PSSR.
(P&ID's), including all details, elevations, dimensions, arrangements, and other notes on the
P&ID's. One must be able to startup, shutdown and conduct normal operations on the unit as
envisioned in the licensor design. Alternative flow schemes & system isolation for maintenance
without or minimum operation disturbances may have been incorporated into the unit's
design. Also, piping for special procedures such as blowing, flushing, dry-out, special materials
preparation, regeneration and back flushing, and the unit should be able to operate in all of
these modes with piping as designed and constructed.

Common Utilities falling under CPP are basically divided into broadly two category:
(a) Utilities from Refinery
(b) Utilities to Refinery
(A) Utilities from Refinery are listed below as:
Instrument Air (AI)
Plant Air (AP)
Nitrogen Gas (IG)
Service Water (WS)
DM Water (WDM)
Potable water (WP)
HSD/LCO Fuel (FO)
Fuel Gas (FG)
Commissioning of all the above system within the CPP as well outside the CPP is must before
commencing the Pre-Commissioning or commissioning of major equipments. Commissioning of all
Process Utilities should follow pre-commissioning activities like: Hydro testing, Line/header Flushing,
Leak test, etc. All the above mentioned pre-commissioning activities are mentioned in details in below
section.
The important part of the Utilities commissioning is it’s also include Non P&ID process like; Electrical
and Instrumentations. Electrical system includes: 220 KV switch yard, 33 KV GIS, 6.6 and .415 KV
switch gear, LT MCCs, Station Trafo and LT distribution trafo, Motors solo run, Motor no load vibration
testing, IPOD test, Megger testing, Earthing testing, Protection and control Relay testing and checking
and approval.
Instrument system include: DCS, BMS and Field instrumentation calibration, cabling, loop testing,
tuning and SAT. All instruments should be checked as soon as possible so that any malfunctions or
other faults can be detected early. The instrument checkout should include the following items:
1. Pressure test of instrument air lines
2. Control valve action and calibration
3. Positioner calibration
4. Board calibration and loop check
5. Thermocouple calibration and identification
6. Level instrument calibration
7. Thermometers, pressure gauges, etc.
All orifice plate bores should be measured, recorded and compared with required sizes. The orifice
plates should also be checked to see if they were counter-bored wherever required. After hydro
testing and water flushing have been completed, the orifice plates can be installed. Loop & functional
checking must be completed prior to start the unit.
This procedure defines the requirement and procedure of hydrostatic testing of pressure parts after
assembly of all the components subjected to high pressure / temperature operation. Ensure the
following works are completed before hydrostatic testing.
o All pressure parts erection completed
o All attachments welded to pressure parts.
o Radiography and other non-destructive examination for pressure parts.
o Stress relieving (if req.) and repairs (if any).
o Permanent supports, spring hangers are provided and temporary supports removed.
o Piping for water filling & draining
o Isolation valves provided on all drains, vents, instrument tapping points.
o Installation of gags or hydrostatic test plugs for safety valves
o Drum inside is cleaned and the manholes are boxed up with proper gaskets
o Adequate feed water for initial flushing and hydrostatic tests.
All facilities required for carrying out the hydrostatic testing like temporary piping, filling pumps
and adequate pressure / capacity -testing pumps shall be made ready. The test pumps
discharge shall be connected to any drain, preferably the MSL drain before boiler stop valve.
Pressure gauges shall be of indicating type and preferably have dials 12'' to the available range
nearest to twice the operating pressure. All pressure gauges used for hydrostatic test shall be
calibrated with dead weight tester prior to test and stamped. All test records shall be
maintained. Minimum 3nos. pressure gauges are required for hydrostatic test, one to be
connected to steam drum, one steam outlet header and third one on testing pump (before NRV
). The pressure gauge used on pump shall preferably be of snubber type.
Water used for hydrostatic test shall confirm to be mineralized / deaerated water having pH
Value between 8.5 to 9.0. Addition of oxygen scavenger like hydrazine up to 500 ppm to avoid
any possible corrosion in - drainable super heater is recommended.
Test water and the metal temperature should be ambient air dew point to prevent condensate
formation on the pressure parts being tested, which interferes with the detection of small
leaks. Test water should remain below 50 deg C for close / safe inspection. Water and the
temperature should be above 21 deg C to avoid brittle fracture temperatures.
Test pressure (usually 1.5 times the design pressure for new boiler) shall be as specified in
pressure part assembly drawing. The pressure shall be under proper control, so that actual
pressure is never exceeded by more than six (6) percent of test pressure
For Gaseous system – First Hydrotest after erection should be at 1.3 times the design pressure
Since 3 gauges are used, the pressure gauge attached to the steam drum shall be used as
official gauge for the test.
Test Procedure
All valves provided on the drain and instrument isolation valves shall be closed
Vent valves shall be kept open to purge the air pocket while filling pump and closed after the air
pockets are purged.
Before applying pressure, the unit shall be examined to see that all valves & gaskets joint are
tight and no leakages are observed
The pressure shall be gradually raised to the test pressure with the help of test pump. The relief
valve provided on the leak off line of the pump shall be operated to control the rate of raise of
pressure. After raising the boiler pressure to test value the isolation valve at unit inlet shall be
closed.
The unit shall be held under pressure for maximum 10 minutes. Quick, but thorough inspection
for leakages/ sweating shall be carried out during these 10 minutes. The pressure shall be then
reduced to maximum allowable working pressure & maintained allowable working pressure &
maintained at that pressure while the unit is carefully examined for leakage.
Acceptance Criteria:
Leaks through welds, casting, forgings, plate, pipe & tubes excluding gasket joints or mechanical
seal are not acceptable. Slight seepage at the test pressure is permitted at gasket joints &
mechanical seals
The test data shall be recorded jointly by the parties conducting the test. The records shall
include the date / time of testing, the duration of test, the sequence / duration of rise and drop
of pressure in the circuit involved in test, details of pressure gauges and other equipments
used, ambient temperature and any abnormalities observed during the test.
NOTE: For Pressure piping and pressure parts of Boilers, hydrotest to be confronted in front of Local
IBR authority and necessary report duly signed by IBR authority to be attached as main document for
each test packs for all systems.
Repairs:
Any leaks in the welded connections shall be repaired with approved weld repairs procedure
and the applicable boiler pressure vessel code
Any unaccepted leaks in gasket joints mechanical seals shall be regasketed or resealed.
After all the repairs have been carried out, hydraulic test shall be repeated in accordance with
the above said procedures.
Draining:
It is recommended to keep the boiler under wet preservation with the hydrazine concentration
around 200PPM, as the boiler hydro test to boiler light up duration may be number of days. If
required, boiler can be drained for any erection related jobs.
The purpose of carrying out flushing is to remove foreign matter, mill scale, dirt etc. resulting out of
manufacturing, storing, fabrication & erection of boiler, vessel & piping. Such deposits in the piping walls
sometimes restrict flow through the pipes/tubes causing, over heating and pressure/flow fluctuations and
even failure.
Pre-requisites are:
e. The steam supply and exhaust piping to and from turbines are cleaned by blowing them
while disconnected. Blowing completion criteria based on target plates condition.
f. When flushing through lines regulate the flow of flushing medium at the source and not at
the outlet of the lines being flushed. For example, water from a column, should be
regulated at the column; and steam, at the valve on the steam supply to the line being
blown.
g. Flush through all vents and drains.
h. Where possible flush downwards or horizontally.
i. Always flush through the upstream isolation valves on control loops, before flushing
through the bypass valves into the downstream control valve piping.
j. For steam systems, flush thoroughly the dirt leg drains and steam trap bypasses before
placing the steam trap in service.
k. Disconnect the lines into and out of exchangers, and then flush the lines thoroughly before
reconnecting and flushing through the exchangers.
l. Upon completion of line flushing of a system, carefully check that all temporary lines are
disconnected, control valves reinstalled, and pump alignments are normal. All lines are
properly supported wherever required, line flanges are electrically bonded to avoid static
charges etc. and permanent gaskets are installed.
Procedure:
Cordon off the area where flushing is to be done and preferably post a personnel for vigilance.
As a safety measure, install signboards to caution the working personnel
Piping will be flushed with DM water with pH of 8.5 containing 0.05% SNID detergent by
installing a temporary flushing pump and a closed loop connected to Deaerator.
Instrument air lines shall be flushed with air only
LDO lines shall be flushed with water, then with air and finally with water circulation.
Acceptance: Color of the flushed water.
After completing the flushing activities, replace the NRV internals /control valves etc. which
has been removed during flushing operation.
Mark the P&ID and sign against the line as a record
Prepare the protocols.
Safety Precaution:
Clear out/cordon off area where flushing is to be carried out as live pressurized steam is to be
flushed out through the system end point.
Please make available plenty of safety gears, e.g. asbestos hand gloves, ear muffs, transparent
eye protective goggles, and first aid kit.
NOTE: - If controls valves, isolating valves are to be kept in online position during steam flushing, keep
them in 100% open position to avoid damage to seat of the valves or accumulation of dirt.
Steam blowing is carried out for removing foreign particles like rust, dirt scale and welding burr from
the steam system to prevent any impact damage to steam driven equipments at consumer end.
Pre-requisites are:
The following activities need to be complied at site
Completion of temporary exhaust piping including reaction supports.
When the impingement noticed on target plates are within the limits, steam blowing is declared
as complete. (Specified at the end of document)
Notes:-
1) Target plates are fitted towards the end of steam blowing cycles. Plates are fitted before
starting blow with blow sequence number clearly punched on them for comparison and record.
One target plate with initial impingement & three target plate with final should be preserved
for record purpose.
2) It is suggested to do the steam blowing (Around 3-4 blows; pressure rise to be done as per
pressure rising curve) in the first half and soaking in second half time to be left for cooling the
steam line to dislodge the scale/deposits from the piping. Again repeat blows in afternoon till
three consecutive acceptable target plates are observed.
Precautions:
1. In the puffing method of steam blowing, the water level in the drum swings beyond visible
limits at the start, during and at the end of blowing. During steam blowing there are chances of
water carry over to steam lines and low temperature superheater. This can possibly be
minimized by keeping the water level in drum to the lowest visible limit at the start of blow. It is
recommended that the water feeding to drum may be started when the drum level starts falling
towards end of the blow and drum level is to be brought to normal level for subsequent light up
of boiler.
2. The time for opening as well as closing of the electrical operated temporary valve should be as
short as possible to match the pressure drops in drum. Arrangements should exist in control
room for simultaneous opening / closing of the temporary valves.
3. The boiler pressure during blowing out operation should be kept within the design pressure of
related piping, temporary piping, fittings and flanges.
4. Water level in drum will be subjected to a very high degree of fluctuation. Special care is to be
given to this aspect.
5. Sufficient storage of demineralised water shall be ensured and the rate of make-up water to
feed tank is to be matched taking into account the capacity of feed tank.
6. Internal boiler water treatment to be carried out as per desired parameters.
7. Communication between operating levels and control room, necessary instruments and
controls and boiler protections should be ensured before steam blowing.
8. Hot tightening of flange studs/bolts is to be done wherever such connections have been made
at 5 Kg/Cm2.
9. All the drains of connecting piping are to be left open to atmosphere and not to be connected
to drain vessels, to ensure proper draining.
10. After completion of steam blowing, permanent drain piping can be routed and TIG welding
adopted to avoid welding slag not to create subsequent problems in draining the system during
operation.
Results:
The target plate should be free of indentations or markings to the extent possible. At least one target
plate at the initial blow off operation should be kept as base for comparison and arrive at a conclusion.
The indentations must be reduced to at least 20% of the initial reference plate. No Indentation of dia
2
0.8 mm may be seen on the plate. Number of indentation of dia 0.4 mm may not exceeding 2/inch in
2
number. Number of indentation of dia 0.2 mm may not exceeding 10/inch in number. These are a few
guidelines for declaring the Steam Blowing operation is completed successfully.
All pneumatic and Gas piping are pre-commissioned as per card board blasting technique. In this
process, the pipe which is to be flushed is pressurized at suitable pressure (as per recommendation and
design). At the end of pipe connection one isolation valve is provided with is normally kept closed
during pressurization. A hard cardboard with white paper on it is fixed at the outlet of isolation valve.
The distance between isolation valve outlet and cardboard should not be greater than 3 ft. Once the
above system are in place, the isolation valve should be open manual as fast as possible by which the
high pressure jet get impingement on Hard cardboard. The amount of debris and sludge deposited on
cardboard and white paper help to judge the completion of Card board blasting. Normally it is
recommended to installed cardboard only after initial one or two blow is given to header by
pressurizing the header and venting the high pressure air into open atmosphere.
Due to sudden increase in pressure, the pressure jerks removes out the sludge and welding and piping
debris from pipe and the resultant high velocity ensure to dropping of debris inside pipe. The cycle to
be repeated until ensures that the impression on cardboard is under satisfactorily level.
The purpose of this procedure is to outline the system used to conduct leak test of air/gas path. This is
to be followed for leak tests of air/gas path i.e. FD fan outlet ducts/wind box, boiler
furnace/Economizer inlet duct/Economizer outlet ducts, steam coil air pre heater, and flue gas inlet
duct to chimney. Hence, the above area will be pressurized.
Procedure:
Check that erection of boiler, economizer, and connecting air & flue gas ducts which are to be
tested for leakage are completed (including supports).
All temporary attachments to the ducts/furnace/economizer/SCAPH which cause leak is
removed at later stage. No welding should be carried out after leak test is over except repairs.
Ensure FD fan is in operating condition ,inlet guide vanes are free to operate, and dampers on
flue gas inlet ducts near chimney is in operating condition(if provided).
Ensure that insulation or cladding is not done on ducts/economizer casing. The same applies to
the boiler casing also.
Ensure that all draught gauges, pressure switches in air/flue gas path are isolated except
draught gauge for FD fan outlet and furnace draught
Ensures that all the possible air leakage openings like burner openings, access door, peepholes
are closed for the tests.
Fill the boiler with specified quality feed water up to NWL in steam drum. Ensure that all the
drains are kept closed and vents in open condition.
Close boiler furnace door quickly. Set FD fan IGV to close position and start FD fan. Open the FD
fan damper gradually to the required opening for pressuring the system up to max 700 mmWC
in the furnace.
Keep the boiler and complete system pressurized for the shortest possible time and quickly
inspect the system for leakage
In case of large units, kerosene/lime test is acceptable for flue, ducts and casings.
Repairs:
In the event of any leakage in casings, smoke will start leaking out from it. Mark the place of
leakage and repair them after stopping FD fan and depressurizing the system. A special lookout
at the corners, bolted joints, and instrument tapping is necessary during the testing. Use soap
solution for confirmation.
Repeat the test after repairs (if any) to ensure no leakage remains and ensure that packages are
airtight.
Leak test is also applicable to Vacuum system of STG condenser where, vacuum is pulled through
installed ejector system. The vacuum drop rate should be as low as 0.01 Kg/cm2 g per hour. Any
susceptible leak point should be immediately attended if possible otherwise marked and noted for
necessary action during de-pressurized state.
In case of flange joint for piping especially carrying Hydrocarbon Gaseous, IA/PA and nitrogen header -
a foam/soap test is advisable. All Flange joints, Valve glands, piping tapped off points, etc are poured
externally with Soap/foam solution and check for any leakage. This is done after hydro testing of piping
is completed and piping is reinstated as per design. Normally Inert gas like Nitrogen or PA is used to
pressurize the piping. All leakages to be immediately attended and retested before taking into service.

boiler are removed. Then evaporating surfaces and other heating surfaces are subjected to acid
cleaning for the removal of mill scale and rust. The acid pickled surface is passivated for the formation
of magnetite layer. Both the acid cleaning and passivation processes are completed in a single step.

Details of Chemical cleaning / Alkali boil process as per BHEL standards are mentioned as below:
be added to the mixing tank along with DM Water and the solution will be thoroughly
mixed by recirculation so that final solution in the Boiler contains 0.1 % TSP and 0.05 % DSP.
The solution will be injected into the boiler through the bottom ring header drains and
economiser drain operating the chemical filling pump. Further DM water will be taken in
the boiler up to normal level.
Light up boiler as per O&M instructions and gradually raise the boiler water temperature
to 130 ⁰C – 140 ⁰C. Trip the boiler and keep the fans running for cooling.
Drain the boiler at 95 ⁰C to the plant water disposal system, by keeping open the drain
valves fully (without any throttling). The drain solution will be diluted with plenty of service
water.
(B) HOT WATER RINSE
Once the draining is completed, refill the boiler with demineralised water. Light up the
boiler and gradually raise the boiler water temperature to 130 ⁰C – 140 ⁰C. Trip the boiler
and keep the FD fan running for cooling.
Drain the boiler at 95 ⁰C to the plant’s water disposal system by keeping open the drain
valves fully (without throttling).
Cold water rinses will be done by filling and dumping method. During these steps, draining
will be done to the plant’s water disposal system. The pH and PO4 will be monitored during
draining of each cold water rinse stage.
The pH and PO4 are to be reduced to a level below 7.5 and 10 ppm respectively.
Flush all sampling and blow down lines. Check all temperature / pressure measurements
relevant to the process for monitoring at UCB and ensure their reliability
(D) ACID CLEANING & PASSIVATION
Acid cleaning is carried out by adopting soaking technique using a single fill of mixture of
chemical solutions containing EDTA, inhibitor, ammonia and hydrazine in DM water. Boiler
is fired and the temperature raise to 140 ⁰C and subsequently cooled. The removal of
deposit constituents and subsequent passivation of the metal surfaces will occur during this
single step.
Keep ready the required quantity of ammoniated EDTA (40% wt/wt) solution.
Keep ready the inhibitor “BHELMAX” & “BHELSOL” for addition in the mixing tank.
Keep all the boiler blow down valves shut and drum vent valves & start up vent open during
boiler filling.
Take 20 m3 of DM water in the mixing tank. Start the temporary chemical fill pump and put
the DM water under recirculation. Start transferring the mixture of Ammoniated EDTA (40%
wt/wt) solution, inhibitors and Hydrazine Hydrate to the mixing tank. Re-circulate till all the
chemicals get uniformly mixed up. With this, one batch of EDTA chemical solution is ready
for filling into the boiler.
The approx. quantities of various chemicals that are to be mixed per batch of 20 m3 is given
below:
1. EDTA ammoniated (40 %) concentrate: 2 to 3 m3
2. BHELMAX : 30 kgs
3. BHELSOL : 30 lit
4. N2H4.H2O (80%) : 30 litres
Ammonia will be added if required to adjust the pH between 9.2 to 9.5. DM water will be
used to make up to 20 m3.
Starts filling this solution into the boiler through LP drain header fill line from temporary
chemical fill pump.
Repeat the preparation of chemical solution and batch filling as explained in point No.
5.4.6 till water level in the drum reaches the center line of the gauge glass. The
composition of the filling solution shall be as below:
EDTA content : 3 - 4% W/v
Hydrazine : 1000 ppm.
pH : 9.2 to 9.5
Fire the boiler and gradually raise the temperature of the Boiler water following the
precautions as detailed out for hot water rinsing.
The drum and super heater vents are to be closed when steaming starts, say at 1 Kg/cm2 in
the drum & SH start up vent remains open.
Note the time at which the temperature of boiler water reaches 110 ⁰C.
Continue raising the temperature of boiler water to a saturation temperature of 140 ⁰C.
Once the temperature of boiler water reaches 140 ⁰C, control the firing rate in such a way
that the boiler water temperature is maintained at 140 to 145 ⁰C, for approx. 4 hours.
Then trip the boiler. Continue running the FD fan to bring down the boiler water
temperature. In case it appears that the results of iron concentration may not level out
when temp is expected to be 110 ⁰C, FD fan shall be stopped, suitably, during the cooling
down phase & boiler shall be boxed up and kept in this condition to achieve the EDTA
contact period of 8 hours with temperature exceeding 110 ⁰C.
Samples have to be taken every 30 minutes from the sampling points at locations given as
per point 15, from the time on when the temperature in the system has reached 110 ⁰C and
analysed for pH, EDTA concentration and iron content.
Boiler water temperature & Water Wall metal temperature at the locations indicated as per
point 15 are to be measured and logged.
During the boiler operation extreme care has to be taken towards drum level control so
that no process solution enters the superheater. In case the level in the boiler drum
becomes too low, adequate make-up of process solution has to be made, injecting the
process solution from the mixing tank into the drum. Hence, some reserve process solution
has to be kept ready always during the boiler operation until the end.
Cleaning process is to be continued till iron concentration in three consecutive samples
show equilibrium status. When the iron concentration in the cleaning solution is constant, it
indicates that all the oxides have been dissolved. However, a minimum EDTA contact period
of 6 hours from the time of attaining the required temperature (110 ⁰C) shall be allowed. If
the iron concentration values do not level out and attain equilibrium status, regardless of
analytical results, the EDTA contact period with temperature exceeding 110 ⁰C shall not be
allowed for more than 8 hours (approx).
After completion of pickling process as above, the system shall be allowed to cool with the
FD fan in operation. Open the drum air vents when the pressure reaches to 1 Kg/cm2.
When the temperature comes down to 95 ⁰C, all drain valves shall be opened and the
system drained completely in hot condition to the effluent pit.
(E) TREATED DM WATER RINSE
Prepare a blended solution of Ammonia and Hydrazine with calculated quantities in the
mixing tank in order to achieve a solution pH of 9.0 to 9.5 and Hydrazine content of 50 ppm
in the DM water being filled in the boiler.
Fill the boiler with the above treated DM water through LP drains as practiced earlier, up to
just above the center of gauge glass.
Fire the boiler to raise temperature to 120 ⁰C and then shut down the boiler. Allow the
boiler to cool down to 95 ⁰C.
Drain the boiler to the effluent pit and allow the system for natural aeration.
Open the drum for inspection. Manually clean the drum, if required.
Back flush the SH with the above treated DM water.
(F) CHEMICAL CLEANING WASTE TREATMENT & DISPOSAL
The organic spent EDTA chemical solution after the cleaning process is drained into a pit.
The pH of the effluent will be in the range of 8.5 to 9.0 and hence no treatment for pH
adjustment is required, as it would meet the pH requirement for disposal.
Compressed air shall be used to destroy the residual Hydrazine & organics and the effluent
shall be disposed after aeration for 15 days approx. (The organic chemical is completely bio-
degradable). This effluent may be disposed to plant disposal system after ensuring residual
Hydrazine & pH etc. using a temporary pump.
(G) COMPLETION CRITERIA AT A GLANCE
COLD DM WATER RINSING:
The pH and PO4 will be measured in the drain water. The pH and PO4 are to be reduced
to a level below 7.5 and 10 ppm respectively.
ACID CLEANING & PASSIVATION
If the iron concentration values do not level out and attain equilibrium status, regardless of
analytical results, the EDTA contact time at >110 ⁰C shall not be allowed for more than 8
hours from the time of attaining the required temperature (110 ⁰C).
The pickling process will be declared completed once the EDTA strength and iron
concentration level out and reach equilibrium.
(H) SAFETY PRECAUTION
Effectiveness of inhibitor should have been checked.
Temperature limitations specified for various steps should not be exceeded.
Drum safety valves shall be protected by installing hydrostatic plug.
All the tapping points from drum shall be isolated.
If the boiler light up after chemical cleaning cannot be done within 4 weeks, the system
should be suitably preserved.
Prior to Acid cleaning, ensure availability of the following:
Refer below the detail schematic of Alkali Boil temporary piping, permanent piping and arrangement
schematic for UB and HRSG
Refractory dry process commence immediately after the Alkali boil out process for Boilers. In this
process the patch up refractory installed near Burner area, Drum area and near peep holes area is
required to be cure before taking the boiler in to continuous operation. Refractory process can also be
clubbed together with Alkali boil out process if the content of refractory inside the boiler is less. For the
Boiler at CPP, no separate procedure is made to refractory dry out. The only precaution required to be
taken is that the necessary curing time (minimum 1 day) is must for refractory at elevated temperature
say above 600 ⁰C of flue gas or 160 ⁰C refractory temperatures. For smaller quantity of refractory like
our boiler, same can be achieved in parallel with Alkali Boil out process where DM water is heated up
to 110 ⁰C before rinsing.
Inspection of the vessels can be undertaken as soon as the EIL person arrives on site. The actual
arrangement of lines, vessels, pumps, etc., must conform to the Piping and Instrumentation (P&ID)
drawing. As soon as construction is completed, and if possible even before, the unit must be carefully
checked against the P&ID and the appropriate UOP specifications. Ensure the following before giving
final clearance for vessel closure:
Vessel is hydrotest as per the EIL standards
Vessel all nozzle, piping and drains are thoroughly connected to their respective location
All field instrumentation are ready to be mounted
Calibration record of tank is prepared by contractor and handed over to EIL. Same should
also be approved before closing the vessel

Once the above mentioned points are inspected, checked and agreed upon, the final closure report
of vessel can be sign off. Vessel can now declared as ready for operation.
Once the boiler is chemically cleaned and a uniform magnetite layer (Grey in colour) is observed during
the drum inspection and if boiler is not be started off for further commissioning process like steam
blowing, Boiler is required to kept under preservation. In case that the boiler is shut down, provisions
have to be made against standstill corrosions. There are in general two different preservation
methods, the wet and the dry method. Which method will be chosen depends from the local and
actual requirements, as there are:
- duration of the shut down
- local climatic conditions
- necessity of short term start up
- availability of chemicals and technical gases
- environmental aspects
Wet preservation
The wet preservation is applied for operation breaks of uncertain duration and if the boiler must
remain ready for operation. The chemicals should usually be added into the feed water tank, but in
case, that another boiler which is connected to the same feed water tank remains in operation, there
are additional temporary arrangements for mixing, dosing and filling required. The conditioned water
in the boiler should be circulated at least once per week, if the plant has no circulating system (also no
opportunity to connect a temporary one), every week approximately 10% of the water content should
be renewed and the water properties should be monitored carefully and continuously. Before the
boiler is taken out of operation, the alkalinity of the boiler water has to be increased up to a pH-value
of 10.5. As soon as the boiler has been shut down, the boiler inclusive the superheater is filled with
alkaline feed water containing hydrazine (Levoxin) up to the overflow. The amount of Levoxin depends
from the scheduled shut down time and can be calculated by means of the values of the following
table:
It is advisable to remain the boiler additional under nitrogen pressure to avoid corrosion especially on
the water surface. The usage of hydrazine (Levoxin) needs care because the solutions with hydrazine
are said to have a cancer producing effect. The preservation water is strongly alkaline and contains still
large amount of hydrazine which is readily absorbing oxygen. The draining of such preservation water
needs care that it is not charged into public waters without treatment. Preservation water shall only be
drained and guided into public waters having been neutralized to a pH-value of approximately 7.The
hydrazine content has to be reduced to a “not detectable” value.
Dry preservation
The dry preservation is applied for a longer shut down of the plant, if a short term start up is not
necessary or a wet preservation is not possible because of any reason. At first the boiler has to be
emptied completely at a pressure of about 7 -8 bar and the steam has to be let off. The FD fan has to
be switched off in time to avoid, that the boiler cools down too quickly. All valves have to be opened
so, that all residual moisture and steam may evaporate by the sensible heat in the boiler. It is advisable
for safety to flange all connecting tubes blind after the boiler is emptied. The next step is to avoid, that
humidity can enter the boilers pipe work again. Therefore are two methods recommendable:
Once the boiler has been cleaned Silica gel in small perforated bags is to be brought into the upper
drum at amounts of 200 g/ m3 air space. After completion of the saturation process the Silica gel
changers it´s colour from blue to red. It can be used again after drying at 120 deg C. The boiler must
then be airtight sealed!
2. Dry preservation with Nitrogen
To preserve the boiler with Nitrogen, it is sufficient to rinse the boiler with about 5-fold of its volume
with nitrogen from the top (expulsion of air). Subsequently the low-lying valves (outlets) have to be
closed and the nitrogen pressure has to be adjusted above 10 mbar.
By means of a HP steam line, connected to the lower drum; it is possible to keep the boiler hot and
partly pressurised. This method is applied for a short shut down of the boiler. In this case it is suitable
to blow steam by means of the existing HP preservation steam line into the lower drum. The advantage
of this method is that the boiler can be re-started at any time from warm or hot condition.
Preconditions therefore are that at least one other boiler remains in operation and no maintenance
and/or inspection works at the boiler water steam and flue gas system are scheduled during shut
down. The boiler will shut down with the normal water level in the drum. The main steam gate valve at
boiler outlet will be closed and a pressure less than the pressure in the HP header will be maintained in
the boiler. The manual valve in the heating line in front of the lower drum has to be opened carefully
step by step until the pressure in the boiler starts to increase again. The system will be balanced now
by opening of the start up valve for a certain percentage (less than 10 %!). By means of this it will
ensured, that there is a certain steam flow in all parts of the boiler and no condensate will develop.
Please note: So higher the pressure in the system is so higher will be the steam consumption of the
boiler and so shorter is the time for restarting the unit. At least a pressure of about 2 bar should
maintained all the time. In case, that the pressure is less than 10 bar, the manual drains should be
open shortly before restart of the boiler. Please watch the drum level and keep it manually constant!
Deaerator tank is made of carbon steel & must also be protected during a shut-down period.
Dry completely the Deaerator tank after drainage. The tank can then be kept dry by installing
silica gel, approx. 20 kg & to close tightly the tank
Nitrogen blanketing can also be done.
Chemicals like ammonia & hydrazine can also be added as describe above.
The easiest solution is nitrogen filling of the piping during shut down of the boiler, when the
pressure is still above atmosphere
If the boiler is stopped without precaution it is possible to fill the steam piping with nitrogen
while alternating pressurising & depressurising until the oxygen content in nitrogen is less than
1%.
It is recommended to check periodically the oxygen content in the nitrogen.
CHAPTER – 6
COMMISSIONING AND START UP PROCEDURE
6.1 INTRODUCTION
Startup and normal operating procedures are described in this section. Startup and shutdown are
the most critical periods in operation. It is then that the hazardous possibilities for fire and explosion
are greatest. The hazards encountered most frequently in start up and shut down of units are
accidental mixing of air and hydrocarbons and contacting of water with hot oil. Other hazards
primarily associated with startup are pressure, vacuum and thermal and mechanical shocks. These
can result in fires, explosions, destructive pressure surges and other damages to unit as well as
injury to personnel.
Fires occur when oxygen and fuel vapor or mists are mixed in flammable proportions and come in
contact with an ignition. They may run out of control or touch off devastating explosion. Pressure
surge from unplanned mixing of water and hot oil may cause damage of equipment and/or loss of
valuable production. Extensive, costly down time on process unit may result. Fires usually follow if
the explosion bursts lines or vessels.
Preparation for start-up begins with a complete review of the startup procedure by the operating
crew. Activities of CPP should be coordinated with other units, and utilities section. The main
objectives of the start-up procedure are:
A successful start-up of the unit requires that the unit be clean and the equipment perform reliably.

from condensate side.
Open the isolation valve at Deaerator end to divert MUH from HRSG to Deaerator.
The rate at which the MUH coming to Deaerator doesn’t depend upon the Deaerator level, but
it depends upon the set point given for FCV at inlet to WHP for each HRSG. Level for Deaerator
is basically control by LV1802 installed in CST pump discharge header side while pressure in
Deaerator is maintained by PCV on LP steam header side to Deaerator.
Put another MUH pump in Auto change over mode (ACO) in DCS
Condensate system now said to be commissioned from both the channels
Ammonia /hydrazine dosing system must be ready, because in the beginning due to
unavailability of steam, only means of Deaeration is chemical Deaeration; therefore extra
dosing of hydrazine is required. Also sample frequency may increase to analyze residual
hydrazine at Deaerator outlet.
Also ensure that all instrumentations are connected and line up with DCS and put in operation
mode as per Operating Philosophy.
As during start up, LP steam is not available, so Deaerator filling will be done without LP steam
charging. Once LP steam is available charge the LP steam to Deaerator as per below procedure:

Boiler is ready in all aspect and ready to intake DM/BFW for start up
STARTING SEQUENCE:
1. Boiler feed water line up and drum filling and steam circuit line up
Very first step in Boiler lit up is filled the Boiler with BFW or fresh DM. It is normally recommended to
use BFW from Deaerator through Boiler Feed pump. Step for Boiler filling are as below:
Ensure that BFW pump is started and BFW is lineup up to FRS station CV. Check the pressure at
FRS inlet as 125.7 kg/cm2 (144.2 kg/cm2 - Max) through pressure transmitter (PT1842) or
pressure gauge (PT1841).
Ensure that BFW temperature is ambient condition during first lit up of Boiler inside CPP. Once
LP steam is available for Deaerator and LP heater, the BFW temperature should be 125.6 ⁰C
Ensure that steam drum vents, Eco outlet header vents and SH – I and II high vents are in open
condition before opening the Eco inlet MOV (GTV-MOV-8757)
Ensure that all BFW header and steam header drains are in open condition and line up to their
respective drain header which in turn line up to IBD vessel
First open 30% CV (FCV1844C/1845C/1846C/1847C) to filled the header up to MOV
Open the bypass MOV (GTV-MOV-8758) first before opening main MOV
Start filling the steam drum. Check the drum level through level transmitter (LT8711/8712/8713)
and through Local level gauge(LI8716/8715) and also through EWLI (LS8717/8714)
Fill the drum level up to required height depending up on the requirement of filling SHs. SHs can
be either filled through BFW spray nozzle and keeping MSSV (GTV-MOV-8764) in closed condition
or can be filled through filling the drum up to maximum level and there after filling the SHs. In
both cases SH is required to keep filled with water before firing.
Once SH is filled and ensure that the BFW is coming out from vent and the pressure inside the
drum reaches up to 3-4 Kg/cm2 g, close the vent valves and also start closing drain valve.
In case SH is filled through drum, drains out the drum BFW through CBD /IBD MOVs and kept the
drum level at 40%. Always ensure that drain to done inside Boiler drum only after closing its
vent valve.
Close 30% FRS CV and keep steady state of drum level inside boiler.
Once the above state is achieve, BFW is consider to charged inside Boiler
Keep Main steam stop valve (GLVMOV8765) and its bypass MOV (GLVMOV8757) in closed
position
Ensure that start vent MOVs (RGVMOV8763 and GLVMOV8762) are in close position
Ensure that PSV (ERVPCV8752) in operation by ensuring that its upstream manual isolation valve
is in open condition
Ensure that Steam line to SB MOV (GLVMOV8756) is in close position and all SBs are in local mode
and outside the boilers.
Ensure that SB system is ready to start up
2. Air and Flue gas path line up and starting
Next system to line up is Air and Flue gas path system of Boiler. It consist of FD fan with dual drives,
IGV dampers, SCAP and its dampers, RAPH and its dampers, Burner wind box and its controlling
dampers, Boiler furnace, Stack and chimneys. All the above mentioned equipments along with
associated ducting and expansion bellows are erected and complete, leak test done and approved and
ready to charge. Steps involve are:
Check to be made before starting FD fan are:
1. IGV (FCV8669-A) is in closed position
2. Lube oil system line up
3. ACW system for Lube oil cooling available and line up
4. HT power available
5. No trip on drive exist
6. SCAPH inlet (LM004) and outlet (LM005) MOV type damper in closed position and its bypass
MOV type damper (LM006) in open condition
7. RAPH bypass damper (Pneumatic type) (LM003) is in close condition
8. Scanner fan ready to start
9. Burner wind box damper (LM007-014) are in close condition while secondary manual air
damper (LM-015 to 022) are in open condition
10. Stack analyzer in operation
Start the FD fan after ensuring above points
Check the pressure, temperature and flow of air through PT8671, TE8670-1/2/3 and FT8669-
1/2/3
Ensure that furnace pressure is not high (PT8672-1/2/3 and PT8673)
Start the Scanner air fan (AC drive) and ensure no differential pressure alarm exist (PDT8688)
Check the furnace pressure at various location through local PG installed in flue gas path of
boiler (PPP8609, 8611, 8614, 8680)
Ensure that no leakage exist from any of the joints and expansion bellow
If steam is available for SCAPH operation, line up SCAPH from steam as well as Air side by opening
necessary dampers. Always charge first air to SCAPH before charging LP steam to SCAPH.
Start RAPH on motor drive and line up SCAPH by opening its inlet (LM004) and outlet (LM005)
MOV type damper and keep closing its bypass damper
Once above is check, air and flue gas path system is said to be ready
The last thing to be lineup for UB lit up is Fuel system. Normally LCO is used as fuel for UB start up.
LCO is available up to Boiler B/L isolation valve (GTV-L021) at a pressure of 17 Kg/cm2 g and Temp -
ambient condition. Before charging LCO inside Boiler ensure the
o Drum level not very high (2oo3 logic – two Level transmitter signal and one EWLI
signal)
o RAPH ON feedback from motor (2oo3 logic)
o 110 V AC available for SOV operation (2oo3 logic)
o Loss of all Fuel trip
o Unit flame failure trip
Once the above conditions are OK, Boiler is ready to start for fuel firing i.e. no boiler trip or
MFT (main fuel trip) exist
Next step is to purge the Boiler furnace before any start up or after every boiler trip
Necessary pre-requisite condition for purging are:
o LCO/Naphtha Trip valve (GLVSOV100) close feedback healthy
o FG Trip valve (BLVSOV015) close feedback healthy
o FG vent valve (BLVSOV016) open feedback healthy
o All LCO/Naphtha nozzle valve (BLVSOV060-067) close feedback healthy
o All FG nozzle valve (BLVSOV076-083 and BLVSOV084-091) close feedback healthy
o All UV and IR scanner show no flame
o Ignitor gas trip valve (IG40) close feedback healthy
o Ignitor gas vent valve (IG39) open feedback healthy
o No boiler trip / MFT exist
o All Burner Secondary Air dampers (LM007-014) Open feedback healthy
o Air Flow >30% of BMCR rating
If all of the above conditions are healthy, Purge ready signal is gets activated at HMI/console.
Press Purge start PB from HMI or local control panel to start the purging
Purge cycle will persist for next 5 min. Within that duration if any of the above signal
healthiness goes out, Purge will stop and a Boiler Trip signal will generate. Operator to reset
the trip and repeat the purging process as mentioned above.

Once the Burner start time is activated for selected burner, the timer remains active for next
20 sec in which both Igniter flame to proven and main flame also required to be proven
otherwise, burner is declared as unsuccessful start and if for the boiler if it is first burner than
it will result into MFT command for complete boiler and thus the process of restarting to be
done from purging cycle.
MFT will occur base on either Loss of all Fuel trip logic or based on Flame failure trip logic
If Ignitor flame get proven for a selected burner within 10 sec after start PB pressed for
Burner, the command to open selected burner Atomizing SOV valve and LCO/Naphtha nozzle
valve
Once the Atomizing air nozzle valve and LCO/Naphtha nozzle valve open for the selected
burner, the healthy feedback of IR scanner flame should come back to BMS within remaining
10 sec of operation. If the flame fault occurs, Burner is declared as trip and if the burner is first
burner for the boiler, Boiler is declared as trip on all Flame failure loss or main fuel trip loss
logic as mentioned above.
If the IR scanner shows the existence of flame within the remaining 20 sec, Burner is declared
as ON burner.
Any flame failure even during the running of burner while result into burner trip signal.
Repeat the same process of selecting fuel and starting the burner of LCO/NAPHTHA fuel for
other burners as well
Similarly during Ignitor firing, the Secondary air damper (SAD) (LM007-1/2 to LM014-1/2) for
each burner will remain in open position.
SAD will close to zero on following cases:
o MFT exist
o HSD or FG nozzle valve in close condition

Kept FG header CV (FCV8803A/B), its bypass isolation valve (FG35) in closed position and in
manual condition along with its self regulating PRV (LM-301A) in operation mode
Select the FG Fuel for any burner i.e. at each burner level, fuel selection provision is provided.
Either selects LCO/NAPHTHA or FG for a given burner. Any one fuel can be selected for burner
at any given movement of time.
Once any burner is selected for any fuel, its associated Main Fuel Trip valve can be command
to open from MMI or from local control panel.
Pressed FG trip valve PB open command from MMI or local control panel to open FG trip valve
Also Open LPG / Ignitor fuel header isolation valve IG31 manually and charge the Igniter fuel
header. Ignitor header should not be less than 1.2 and high than 2.0 Kg/cm2 g which can be
sense by PT8841 and PG8836 installed before main header SOV (IG40)
Open IG40 from BMS by pressing Ignitor trip valve open PB from MMI or from local control
panel. This ensure that Ignitor gas is charge up to all Burners for boiler
If any other burners either on LCO/NAPHTHA or FG are in service Ignitor system is said to be
service for complete boiler and the above mentioned steps are not required to be performed
for any other burner start up once any one burner is in service for given boiler.
Pressed PB start for selected burner on FG from MMI or from local control panel
Once ready to permit is achieved, Ignitor Trip valve in open condition and start PB is pressed,
selected Burner start time logic is activated for next 20 sec of operation.
Once the Burner start time is activated for selected burner, the timer remains active for next
20 sec in which both Ignitor flame to proven and main flame also required to be proven
otherwise, burner is declared as unsuccessful start and if for the boiler if it is first burner than
it will result into MFT command for complete boiler and thus the process of restarting to be
done from purging cycle.
MFT will occur base on either Loss of all Fuel trip logic or based on Flame failure trip logic
If Ignitor flame get proven for a selected burner within 10 sec after start PB pressed for
Burner, the command to open selected burner FG burner side valve and FG header side valve
as per below logic. First FG burner side will open which in turn command to FG header side
valve to open.
Once the above condition are satisfied, first FG burner side valve open which open signal is
input to open FG header side valve. FG header side valve is basically a 3 way valve, which is
state in Open condition when FG is allow to go into burner else state close and thus FG is vent
to flare header.
Healthy feedback of UV scanner flame should come back to BMS within remaining 10 sec of
operation. If the flame fault occurs, Burner is declared as trip and if the burner is first burner
for the boiler, Boiler is declared as trip on all Flame failure loss or main fuel trip loss logic as
mentioned above.
If the UV scanner shows the existence of flame within the remaining 20 sec, Burner is
declared as ON burner.
Any flame failure (IR or UV) even during the running of burner while result into burner trip
signal.
Similarly during Ignitor firing, the Secondary air damper (SAD) (LM007-1/2 to LM014-1/2) for
each burner will remain in open position.
SAD will close to zero on following cases:
o MFT exist
o HSD or FG nozzle valve in close condition
o SAD close command from MMI
FG flow control PRV is sufficient enough to cater the need for one burner. In order to increase
the load on FG, FCV8803-A/B to be taken into service and put the system in AUTO mode once
sufficient load on FG is taken.
Repeat the same process of selecting fuel and starting the burner of FG fuel for other burners
as per requirements
Scavenging Process:
Scavenging of burner is done in following condition only:
In case if burner trip occurred, scavenging to be done manually through local control panel or
through MMI before restarting. Until scavenging is not done, burner cannot be restarted
either on LCO/Naphtha or FG fuel
In case of FG firing no scavenging is envisage
During scavenging process, Ignitor system is again activate to burn the scavenge fuel.
Scavenging valve (BLVSOV092-099) open to allow atomizing air to pass through LCO/NAPHTHA
lance and thus do the scavenging process
Simultaneously a command to operate Ignitor system for a burner is also activated.
Scavenging will last for 300 sec where Ignitor flame will continuous sense the scavenging
process. Any flame failure by Ignitor scanner will lead to false scavenging and thus manual
scavenging process to be followed for burner.
Changeover of Fuel inside Burner:
Fuel change over from LCO/Naphtha to FG and FG to LCO/Naphtha is possible in all burners
In case of LCO/Naphtha to FG fuel change over, LCO/Naphtha burner to planned stop, ensure
scavenging before selecting FG as fuel for burner
Similarly in case of FG to LCO/Naphtha change over, stopped the Burner on FG and
selected LCO/Naphtha fuel. No scavenging is required in case of FG fuel firing change over.
Commissioning after Burner startup:
Once the Burner are taken in service, Open start up vent MOVs to vent out the steam from
header and SH zone
Close Superheater all drains when drum pressure reaches to 5-10 Kg/cm2 g
Increase the load on Boiler by taking more burner in service
Once the Boiler load is above the 30% MCR condition, start up control drives in AUTO mode:
o Feed regulating CVs
o FD fan IGV
o FG and LCO/NAPHTHA fuel FCV
Select the mode of operation for loading the boiler i.e. either pressure control mode or load
control mode once the boiler crosses the 30% MCR condition
Take RAPH in service and remove SCAPH from the service by closing its inlet and outlet damper
and opening SCAPH bypass damper
Increase the load on boiler for Safety valve floating. Check the SV floating in front of IBR
inspector
Mark the set point of opening and closing pressure value on safety valve for future reference
Reduce the boiler load.
Open first MSSV bypass MOV to heat up the downstream VHP header. Ensure that drains of
VHP header are in open condition
Heat the VHP header up to 400 deg C and a pressure of say 35-40 Kg/cm2 g by crack closing
the VHP header drain valve
Open MSSV MOV of boiler to charge VHP header
Close start up vent MOVs

STARTING SEQUENCE:
Very first step in GT commissioning is the starting of Lube oil system. Ensure that Mark VI controller is
ready in all aspect and GT HMI is ready for operation. Also ensure that all Utilities are available and
commissioned for GT like; DM water system for AA cooler, ACW system including FRP CT system,
Electrical system 125 V, 220 AC UPS, GT MCC, etc. Provisions are provided in GT HMI to start the GT
on different mode of operation like; Crank mode, Fire mode, Auto mode.
Each Mode can be used to start the GT. Function of each mode is to take GT from standstill position to
FSNL in sequence following the startup curve. Normally the GT is first selected for crank mode and

then put it into AUTO mode so that GT goes up to FSNL following start up curve.
GENERAL
Starting the gas turbine involves proper sequencing of command signals to the accessories, starting
device & fuel control system. Since a safe & successful start up depends on proper functioning of
almost all of the gas turbine equipment, it is important to verify the state of selected devices in
sequence. Much of the control logic circuitry is associated not only with actuating control devices, but
enabling protective circuits & obtaining permissive conditions before proceeding. Reference to the
control sequence programme is necessary for complete understanding of all the logic functions
included for the particular equipment provided with a gas turbine. The operating sequences of the
Control specifications are written to explain significant functions which pertain to a specific gas
turbine.
A block diagram of all SPEED TRONIC circuits which can interplay to control start-up, is shown in
Figure SECFR-1. Detailed descriptions are found in the SPEED TRONIC panel information included in
this manual & on the control sequence programme. Utilize figure SECFR-2, a plot of a typical start up,
to aid in understanding the sequences described here.
Start up & shutdown cycle improvements have been included to reduce low cycle fatigue of hot gas
path parts.
SPEED DETECTORS
An important part of the startup/ shut down sequence control of the turbine is proper speed sensing.
This is necessary for the logic sequences in startup & shut down of the gas turbine. The following
speed detectors & speed relays are used: L14HR Zero-Speed Detector, L14HM Minimum-Speed Relay
Detector, L14HA Accelerating Relay Speed Detector & L14HS High Speed Relay (some units use-a
L14HF fired shutdown relay).
The zero speed detector, L14HR, provides the signal when turbine shaft starts rotating. If speed is
below L14HR, permissive logic initiates clutch engagement & the cranking sequence for the turbine.
During the shutdown cycle this speed detector provides the signal to permit the ratchet gear, or
turning device, to be placed in service in the automatic cool down logic sequence of the turbine. The
minimum speed detector L14HM indicates that the turbine has reached the minimum firing speed &
initiates the purge (if required) prior to ignition. The drop out of the L14HM minimum speed relay
provides several permissive functions in the restarting of the gas turbine after shutdown.
The acceleration speed relay L14HA pickup indicates that the turbine has reached approximately 40 to
50n percent in the acceleration cycle. The high speed sensor L14HS pickup indicates that the turbine is
at operating speed, & that the accelerating sequence is complete. With this signal the inlet guide
vanes are actuated unless the unit is equipped for modulation. See the inlet guide Vane section.
The L14HS dropout speed is used to close unmodulated inlet guide vanes upon turbine shutdown.
During a normal shut down the digital set point will countdown to minimum, the generator breaker
will open on reverse power & FSR will ramp to minimum. Flame will be maintained to shut down
speed where L14HA (or L14HF) will then drop out & drive FSR to zero.
The settings of the speed are programmed in the computer as PROM constants & are listed in the
Control Specifications.
START UP CONTROL
The start up control operates as an open loop control in the use of preset levels of the fuel command
signal, FSR. The levels set are “FIRE”, “WARMUP” & “ACCELERATION LIMIT”. The control specifications
provide proper settings calculated for the fuel anticipated. The FSR levels must be set in the SPEED
TRONIC start up control.
Start up control FSR signals operate through the minimum vale gate to insure that speed control &
temp control can limit FSR if required. During the starting sequence, rates of increase in speed &
exhaust temp are restricted to protect the turbine parts from excessive mechanical & thermal
stresses. The rates of acceleration & temp rise are controlled in dependently by the closed loops of
the speed & temp control systems. The rate limits operate through the SPEED TRONIC control circuits
discussed in those control systems.
The fuel command signals are generated by the SPEED TRONIC start up software. See the turbine
control sequence programme. In addition to three startup levels, the software sets maximum & min
FSR & provides for manual control of FSR. Pressing the switches for “MANUAL CONTROL” & “FSR GAG
RAISE OR LOWER” allows manual adjustment of FSR setting between FSRMIN & FSRMAX.
While the turbine is at rest, electronic checks are made of the stop/speed ratio vale, the gas control
valve, the accessories & the voltage supplies. At this time the operator display will be normal & the
“SHUTDOWN STATUS” will be displayed on the CRT. Activating the master operation switch L43 from
“OFF” to an operating mode will activate the ready circuit. If all protective circuits & trip latches are
permissive the start up status “READY TO START” messages will be displayed & indicates the turbine
will accept a start signal. Depressing the “START” master control switch (LIS) will introduce the start
signal to the panel.
The start signal energizes the Master Control & protection circuits (the “L4” circuit) & starts the
necessary auxiliary equipment. The “L4” circuit permits pressurization of the trip oil system &
engaging of the starting clutch. With the “L4” circuit permissive & the starting clutch engaged, the
starting device starts turning. Start up status message “STARTING” will be displayed on the CRT. See
point “A” on figure SECFR-2.
Once the turbine crosses zero speed, the L14HR signal drops & de-energizes starting clutch, solenoid
20CS. The clutch then requires torque from the starting device to maintain engagement. The turbine
speed relay L14HM indicates that the turbine is turning at the speed required for proper ignition i n
the combustors. Gas turbine unit have a purge timer, L2TV. A purge time is set to force about four
changes of exhaust duct air to ensure no combustible m9ixture is in the exhaust. The setting for L2TV
is given in the control specifications. The starting means will hold speed limit L2TV, which was started
with the L14HM signal, has completed its cycle.
The L14HM signal on completion of purge timer cycle enables fuel flow, sets firing level FSR, &
initiates the firing timer L2F-see point “B” on figure SECFR-2. When the flame detector output signals
indicate flame is established in the combustors, the warm up timer L2W starts & the fuel command is
set to the “WARMUP” FSR level. The warm up time is provided to minimize the thermal stresses
during initial part of the start up.
If flame is not established by the end of the L2F timer, the unit can be given another start signal but
firing will be delayed by the L2TV timer to avoid fuel accumulation in successive attempts. This occurs
even on units not requiring initial L2TV purge.
At the completion of the warm up period, start up control increases FSR exponentially to the
acceleration setting for “TURBINE ACCEL REFRENE INCREMENT RATE”. See point “C” on fig SECFR-2. As
fuel is increased, the turbine begins the acceleration phase of start up. The clutch is held in position as
long as the starting device provides torque to the gas turbine. When the turbine over runs the Starting
device, the clutch will be thrown out,. Speed relay L14HA indicates the turbine is accelerating
The start up control software establishes FSR signals during start which must not be exceeded. Other
control circuits are also able to reduce & modulate FSR to perform their control functions. In the
acceleration phase of start-up it is possible to reach the temp control limit, temp rate limit, low speed
stops, or shaft acceleration rate limits. The speed & temp control system will not permit these values
to be exceeded by controlling FSR as required. Control panel display will show which parameter is
limiting or controlling.
The start up cycle has been designed to moderate the highest firing temp produced during
acceleration. This is done by programming a slow exponential rise in FSR (120 sec time constant
normally) to a somewhat reduced ACCEL FSR setting. The acceleration rate control limit setting on the
speed control circuit is reduced during start up to over ride the rise in FSR during acceleration. It also
aids smooth transition to speed control at the end of the startup sequence. The startup
sequence time is extended to an optimum time to minimize strains produced on the hot gas path
parts in mid-acceleration cycle.
The minimum FSR limit on the start up control prevents the speed & the start up circuit from driving.
The FSR below the value which would cause flameout during a transient condition. For example, with
a sudden rejection of load on the turbine, the speed control system loop would drive the FSR voltage
to no less than the minimum FSR setting, without which a flameout would probably occur. Since the
minimum fuel FSR circuit does not connect to the temp amplifier, the temp control system is capable
of driving the FSR to zero to prevent excessive temp in the turbine.
The acceleration phase of startup ends when complete sequence is reached, (see point “D” on figure
SECFR-2). The turbine speed is controlled by FSR & the auxiliary pumps have been shut down.
Refer to figure SECFR-1 through SECFR-3 for starting sequence & control description.
Loading Characteristics
GENERAL
Once the unit has been synchronized either manually or automatically it can be loaded by several
loading sequences. For instance, a unit can be loaded manually or automatically up to a temp control
limit, or a output load limit. Units operating under isochronous control will accept existing load or be
limited by temp control. More detail on the actual control panel features are described in the
operation section.
SYNCHRONIZING
For synchronizing, the unit is brought to 100.3% of rated speed. If the system frequency has varied
enough to cause an unacceptably high slip frequency a speed matching circuit in the synchronizer will
adjust the turbine governor to reduce the slip frequency & permit synchronizing.

For added protection a synchro check relay is provided. It is used in series with both the auto
synchronizing relay & the manual breaker close switch to prevent large out-of-phase breaker closures.
The reason that “Full Speed, No load” adjustment is important is that it actually calibrates speed with
the called for speed using the digital set point. The 100.3% will cause an increase in fuel command
necessary to raise the speed 0.3% above synchronous grid frequency. It is essential that the generator
& system frequency be matched within 0.33Hz to synchronize quickly with the synchronizing relay.
“Full Speed-No-Load” therefore is an important setting to assure proper speed for synchronizing.
LOAD CONTROL
Speed load control increases fuel through the digital set point to maintain output value. Most units
have three values of output control: reference to the control specifications for settings is required.
a. Spinning reserve- once the generator breaker is closed, the turbine will load to this setting.
b. Preselected Load- the required load is first selected by inputting the data on the main screen,
then by selecting the PRESELECT option on the main display; the load is varied to the
preselected load.
c. Load limit- this load is not selectable, but is a calculated load limit beyond which the unit is
not permitted to operate. It is normally the material limit for the gas turbine generator.
MANUAL LOAD
The operator may increase or decrease load using switches 70R4/CS between no-load & base temp
control line. The loading is accomplished by raising or lowering the digital set point.
ISOCHRONOUS CONTROL
In this control mode the unit output is a function of system demand. When selected, this control
mode maintains a constant speed.
TEMPERTAURE CONTROL
Temp control is initiated by the switch 43bp. In this mode of control load is increased automatically
until a temp control limit is reached. Load is then held at a constant firing temp as more fully
described in the temp control text. Turbine output in this mode of control is a function of ambient
temp.
Note: Manual load control is provided for full convenient rapid adjustment of load. It is not intended
to be used to raise load to rated output without interruption. Frequent use of manual set point
control to reach rate load more rapidly than the automatic cycle can reduce hot gas path parts life.
Similarly excessive use of “Fast start” can also reduce hot gas path parts life.

STARTING SEQUENCE:
1. Boiler feed water line up and drum filling and steam circuit line up
Very first step in HRSG lit up is filled the Boiler with BFW or fresh DM. It is normally recommended to
use BFW from Deaerator through Boiler Feed pump. Step for Boiler filling are as below:
Ensure that BFW pump is started and BFW is lineup up to FRS station CV. Check the pressure at
FRS inlet as 130 kg/cm2 through pressure transmitter (PT1813) or pressure gauge (PT1814).
Ensure that BFW temperature is ambient condition during first lit up of Boiler inside CPP. Once
LP steam is available for Deaerator and LP heater, the BFW temperature should be 125.6 ⁰C

Fill the drum level up to required height depending up on the requirement of filling SHs. SHs can
be either filled through BFW spray nozzle and keeping MSSV (MS036) in closed condition or can
be filled through filling the drum up to maximum level and there after filling the SHs. In both cases
SH is required to keep filled with water before firing.
Once SH is filled and ensure that the BFW is coming out from vent and the pressure inside the
drum reaches up to 3-4 Kg/cm2 g, close the vent valves and also start closing drain valve.
In case SH is filled through drum, drains out the drum BFW through CBD /IBD MOVs and kept the
drum level at 40%. Always ensure that drain to done inside Boiler drum only after closing its
vent valve.
Close 30% FRS CV and keep steady state of drum level inside boiler.
Once the above state is achieve, BFW is consider to charged inside Boiler
Keep Main steam stop valve (MS036) and its bypass MOV (MS036A) in closed position
Ensure that start vent MOVs (MS028 and MS029) are in close position
Ensure that Steam line to SB MOV (SB004) is in close position and all SBs are in local mode and
outside the boilers.
Ensure that SB system is ready to start up
2. Air and Flue gas path line up and starting
Next system to line up is Air and Flue gas path system of Boiler. It consists of GT exhaust ducting,
Diverter and Guillotine damper, Open bypass stack, HRSG inlet plenum and burner zone and Chimney.
All the above mentioned equipments along with associated ducting and expansion bellows are
erected and complete, leak test done and approved and ready to charge. Steps involve are:
Start Augmenting air fan, Seal air fan and Scanner air fan from DCS.
Ensure that the pressure is normal i.e. PT7730 for Augmenting air, PT7733 for Seal air and
PT7714 for scanner air at 400 mmWC, 360 mmWC, 250 mmWC respectively.
Ensure that the flue gas pressure at the inlet of HRSG from GT is normal through PT7601 i.e. XX
mmWC
Ensure that the Flue gas temperature at the inlet of HRSG from GT is normal through TE7608 to

Ensure that no leakage exist from any of the joints and expansion bellow
Once above is check, air and flue gas path system is said to be ready
Line up HRSG to check the below necessary condition / permissive to take HRSG into service
are: o GT running at load (>50%)
o HRSG drum level not low (DSC signal i.e. 2oo3 logic on LT8107/8108/8109)
o HRSG drum level not high (DSC signal i.e. 2oo3 logic on LT8107/8108/8109)
o HRSG trip signal doesn’t exist
o Diverter damper is in closed condition.
Once the above readiness are ensure, HRSG is said to healthy
Open Guillotine damper after getting signal of HRSG Healthy from DCS.
Open feedback of Guillotine damper along with GT operation mode selection i.e. Combine cycle
signal to open diverter damper if diverter damper RTS is activated.
Once both dampers are in open condition, GT flue gas is say to line up for HRSG.
The last thing to be lineup for HRSG lit up is Fuel system. Normally FG is used as fuel for HRSG start up
but LCO/Naphth a can be used if FG is not available. LCO/Napht ha is available up to Boiler B/L
isolation valve (GTVHOV7701) at a pressure of 12 Kg/cm2 g and Temp - ambient condition. Before
charging FG inside Boiler ensure the below mentioned points for safe start up:
Atomizing air is available at Boiler B/L at a pressure of 7.0 Kg/cm2 g
LPG gas bottle/ tapping from RFG header is available and connected to Pilot fuel header
In case of FG, FG should be available up to boiler B/L at a pressure of 4.5-6.0 Kg/cm2 g
In case of FG, Nitrogen should be available at a pressure of Min 2.0 Kg/cm2 g which will
also act as an start permissive for FG firing
Ensure that all main fuel line SOV and all Burner SOV are in closed condition and feedback of
the same is coming back to BMS which will act as a permissive for next command.

o HRSG drum level not high (DSC signal i.e. 2oo3 logic on LT8107/8108/8109)
o HRSG trip signal doesn’t exist
Also Ensure that scavenging of the Burner is completed by checking that no scavenging alarm
exists. This in only possible if any of the burner trip during previous boiler running state. In
case of planned shutdown scavenging cycle will automatically commence for 300 sec to ensure
no un-burnt fuel inside furnace. Details of scavenging process are explained as below process
during Burner shutdown process.
Next step in HRSG burner lit up is the fuel selection. Either LCO/N aphtha or FG or combination mode
or no supplementary firing mode can be selected before starting up the HRSG.
If combination firing is selected, Open both LCO/Naphth a and FG supply header main manual
isolation valve along with Atomizing air manual isolation valve as mentioned below:
o Open Atomizing air Manual isolation valve (GTVHOV7714) after ensuring sufficient Atm
air pressure at upstream header. Once valve is open, atomizing air is charge up to all
LCO/Naphth a burner inlet isolation valve (GLVHOV7733 to 7742). Ensure that the
atomizing header pressure is not low or high through pressure transmitter
(PT7726/7727) and PG7725 i.e. >3.25 Kg/cm2 g and <8.0 Kg/cm2 g
o Open LCO/N aphtha supply header manual isolation valve (GTVHOV7701) and charge
the LCO/Naphtha up to MTV (GLVPNM7733) after ensuring it in closed position. Ensure
that the LCO/Napht ha pressure is normal through Pressure transmitter (PT7718) and
PG7716 i.e. <12 kg/cm2 g. Also ensure that the pressure across the inlet filter <0.3
Kg/cm2 g through DPT7717
o Open FG supply header manual isolation valve (BLVHOV7701) and charge the FG up to
FG MTV (BLVPNM7701) after ensuring it in closed position. Ensure that the FG pressure
is normal through Pressure transmitter (PT7702/03) and PG7701 i.e. >2.0 and <6.5
kg/cm2 g.

Once above condition are satisfied, HRSG can be purged through GT exhaust flue gas
Pressed Purge start PB from remote or from local burner control panel. A cycle time of 3
minute is initiated which indicate purge under progress. After 3 min on successful completion
of Purge, a command feedback signal of purge completed /no MFT received.
Ensure that HRSG is selected for LCO/Naphtha or combination firing mode and HRSG purge
is completed. No HRSG trip exists and HRSG healthy signal is generated as mentioned
above.
Once above condition are satisfied, any one burner out of 12 nos is ready to be started.
Prior to give start command to selected burner, put any one out of two LCO/Naphtha fuel
control valves (FCV7721 – 30% CV and FCV7720 – 100%) in minimum position manually
Start any one LCO/Naphtha burner out of 12 burners by pressing start button for the burner.
Once the start command is given to selected burner on LCO/Naphtha the below
mentioned sequence of operation execute to get the burner ON command. Sequence
of operation is:
1. Ignitor MTV open
2. Ignitor BTV open for selected burner
3. Ignitor flame comes

o Within 10 sec of time elapsed, Ignitor flame need to be sense by Ignitor sensor and the
pulse of the same should be signal back to BMS for ensuring the Ignitor ON for
LCO/Naphtha fuel for selected burner
o If the Ignitor flame wash out after 10 sec of command, Burner is declared as trip burner
o If this is very first burner in HRSG, than this further result into Ignitor MTV trip and
hence MFT thus result into all fuel MTV close and the process of purging to be started
after resetting the HRSG trip
o In case if any other burner is in ON condition, it will not result in to Ignitor MTV trip
o LCO/Naphtha Ignitor ON command for selected burner will result into the
LCO/Naphtha BTV ready command for selected burner.
o LCO/Naphtha BTV ready command for any one burner result into command to Open
LCO/Naphtha MTV (GLVPNM7733). In case of first burner startup on LCO/Naphtha,

o If this is very first burner in HRSG, than this further result into Ignitor MTV trip and
hence MFT thus result into all fuel MTV close and the process of purging to be started
after resetting the HRSG trip
o In case if any other burner is in ON condition, it will not result in to Ignitor MTV trip
o FG Ignitor ON command for selected burner will result into the FG BTV ready command
for selected burner.
o FG BTV ready command for any one burner result into command to Open FG MTV
(BLVPNM7701). In case of first burner startup on FG, selected burner BTV ready
command will result into opening command of FG MTV.
o Open FG MTV healthy feedback first result into open command for selected burner FG
BTV (BLVPNM7705 to 7711)
o If any of the above case is not healthy will not command to FG BTV for selected burner
which result into Ignitor time elapsed activation and thus result into burner trip or even
boiler trip (if first burner)
o Opening of selected burner FG BTV valve will result in to the Flame inside the furnace
which is sense by UV flame scanner.
o Healthy continuous pulse as an feedback to BMS along with FG BTV open feedback
command for selected burner result into FG burner ON signal which is turn generate a
signal of “Any Burner in service” which help to keep active the “No Burner trip channel
command which in turn help to keep active the No MFT signal for boiler
o Ignitor pulse will exist only of 20 sec of operation after which selected burner Ignitor
BTV valve will close which result into loss of FG Ignitor BTV ready command which in
turn result into closing of Ignitor MTV valve close command.
o Ignitor MTV need to be taken in service during each burner lit up irrespective of fuel
selected.
This end the process of lit up of any burner of FG for HRSG
Scavenging Process:
o Once the above cycle is completed the burner is declared as scavenged and ready to
next start up. In case on trip burner, scavenging process to be manually done from local
control panel
Commissioning after Burner startup:
Once the Burner are taken in service, Open start up vent MOVs to vent out the steam from

Aux steam is required in STG for vacuum pulling through steam Ejector and for gland sealing
during rolling and initial turbine loading.
Charge HP/MP PRDS for Aux steam charging for given STG by opening the isolation valve of
PRDS station
Ensure that Aux steam is open to the required STG only and same PRDS is used for all 3 STG in
CPP
First charge the Aux steam to Hogger ejector of by opening the Inlet steam line to Ejector.
Hogger Ejector vent is open to atmosphere
Open the isolation valve of Air line coming from condenser to Hogger ejector. This will start
pulling air and non-condensable gases from condenser and thus creating a vacuum inside
condenser
Hogger ejector can pulled vacuum up to 0.65 bar (a), beyond which the vacuum pulling will be
accomplished using main ejector system
Prior to taking main ejector into system, charge the Aux steam for Gland sealing through
Gland sealing ejector
Ensure that Gland sealing ejector drain are connected to drain collecting tank which in turn
connected to CST tank through drain transfer pumps
On level high in Gland condenser collection tank, the pump will start in AUTO mode to pump
the condensate to CST.
Maintain the Gland steam pressure through PCV. Normal pressure of Gland sealing is 0.1 -0.2
Kg/cm2 g
Once gland sealing is started, another 0.05 to 0.1 bar a pressure in vacuum is achieved.
Beyond which the vacuum need to pulled through main steam ejector
Each STG is provide with 2 X 100 steam ejector out of which each ejector set is provided with
primary and secondary ejector arrangement

which is used to condense the Steam and gases from condenser using CEP discharge
condensate
Open isolation valve in Air line from condenser to start pulling air and condensable gases
from STG condenser.
A connection from Primary ejector condenser is given to secondary ejector as inlet of air
system which is further vented to atmosphere after condensing into secondary ejector
condenser.
Once both ejector are in service, the maximum vacuum can be pulled in 0.99 bar a
Normally the acceptable range of good vacuum pulling is 0.96 to 0.98 bar a
Once the above vacuum is pulled stopped Hogger ejector by first closing air line isolation valve
and then the steam supply header isolation valve
Steam Charging, STG rolling and FSNL:
Once the vacuum is pulled, steam can now be charge inside STG. For that, first heat the
Supply header line of main steam line to STG
Open main range valve bypass isolation valve MOV to start heating the main steam line
Ensure the flow of steam through main steam supply header to STG by opening the necessary
drain valve in supply header.
Open warm up line MOV (before inlet of ESV) to have sufficient flow of steam for heating
Once the header temperature reaches above 400 ⁰C, open the main range valve and filled the
steam in complete header
Warm up MOV will remain in open state and vent the steam from main header
Reset the Governor and put the governor in AUTO mode. Select the mode of start up from HMI
i.e. Cold, Hot or Warm. Any one mode can be selected at a time. Selection of mode is purely
depends upon the duration of stoppage and Turbine temperature. If duration is ≤20 it is said to
be hot startup, if duration of stoppage is ≤40 and ≥250 hrs it is said to be warm startup and if
duration is ≥250 hrs it is said to be cold start up.
All three start up curves are empirically define in governor and based on Operator selection
mode the turbine governor will ramped the STG as per curve path.

Pressed Start button on DCS HMI or from TCP, so that the governor will start opening the ESV
and thus start the turning rolling.
Once ESV open thus steam will come into turbine chest. Heat the turbine chest for pre-
describe time i.e. Cold start up – 20 min, Warm start up – 14 min and Hot start up – 6 min
Once the turbine chest is heated, open the Main CV through governor which allows the main
steam to enter into Turbine. During start up Normal extraction CV remains in Open condition,
so all steam is allowed to condense into condenser. Thus steam coming to condenser will work
on turbine blade thus result into turbine rolling at certain rpm.
At prescribe speed, Barring will be automatically latch out and turbine start rolling at higher
speed
The governor will follow the Turbine start up curve and mode of selection of start i.e. Cold,
Warm or Hot as selected by operator.
The duration to for turbine to reach FSNL depends upon the mode of selection for STG for start
up. If hot start up – 16 min is required for turbine to reach FSNL, In warm up mode – 30 min
and in cold mode – 100 min.
Main Control valve opening will be accordingly regulating the flow of steam to turbine through
governor.
At FSNL, i.e. 95% of rated speed, the governor will stop ramping the STG speed. Further 5%
increase in speed is done through manual intervention by opening the CV through HMI by
giving new set point to governor controller
STG is now in the state of FSNL (full speed no load condition)
Check the vibration and Temperature level of Turbine, Load gear and Generator. All should be
in acceptable range.
Close the warm up MOV and kept open the header drains
STG synchronization and Loading:
Check the healthiness of Generator, Transformer and 33 KV GIS grid side. Ensure that Line
circuit breaker for STG are in open condition
Ensure that AVR is commissioned and check and all protection and interlock are checked

Synchronized the STG either at 33 KV level or directly through grid i.e. at 220 KV level. If STG
synchronized at 33 KV level refinery load frequency is equal to STG frequency and if STG
synchronized with grid than grid frequency is equal to STG frequency.
Once system frequency, Voltage and PF is matching with the STG generated frequency, Close
the circuit breaker and immediately load the STG to minimum loading of 5 MW to avoid
reverse powering
STG is now said synchronized
STG extraction pulling:
After certain load on STG as prescribe in loading curve of STG, STG is required to load before
taking any extraction from STG.
Ensure that QC NRV is in open condition by energizing the SOVs
Keep open the HP and MP extraction header MOV
To have the Steam extraction, it is always to be ensure that the downstream header pressure
is always less than the set point given to HP or MP Governor. So reduce down the downstream
header pressure by regulating PRDS set point and once the header pressure is less than the
STG extraction pressure, a flow in established from STG to extraction header
HP and MP extraction pressure transmitter are used to control the opening on HP and MP CV
along with speed controller in cascade mode.
In normal operation at fixed load set point to STG, HP and MP extraction pressure gives the set
point to HP and MP CV governor for opening and closing.
Kept the STG in droop mode with 4% max droop selection if STG is running in Synchronized
mode
PG test of STG and OST test of STG:
Increase the load on STG up to maximum loading i.e. 35 MW,
Reduce the load on STG and take maximum HP and MP extraction respectively
Take the STG load up to Performance guaranteed stage with HP and MP extraction opening as
per performance guaranteed condition. Take out the reading and note it for future reference.
Run the STG for next 4 hours in same mode and sign off the final closure of contract

CHAPTER – 7
NORMAL SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
Shut down of captive power plant involves various steps as we are not only supplying power to entire
refinery complex but also supplying steam at various levels (HP/MP/LP) & HP-BFW for various refinery
units. Therefore stopping of CPP involves good planning and complete coordination with other part of
refinery; accordingly refinery reduce the load of individual units and step wise CPP will stop individual
equipment along with associated utilities. This can be done in such a synchronize manner so that none
of the refinery units should face any difficulty with respect to power & steam as well. As per normal
operation philosophy of CPP following units are in operation:
GAS TURBINE (2Nos)
Heat recovery steam generation (2Nos)
STG # 1 & 2
BPTG
Utility boiler (4Nos)
CFBC
POWER GENERATION:
STEAM GENERATION:
To meet refinery steam demand CPP have following configuration:
HRSG (2Nos.) : 220 T/ hr (VHP) (110*2)
UTILITY BOILER : 904 T/ hr (VHP) (226*4)
CFBC : 600T/hr(VHP) (300*2)
TOTAL STEAM GENRATION : 1724 T/ hr (VHP)
Stopping of any of the unit of captive power plant leads to either power and steam shortage as well.
Therefore any shut down must be planned properly in close coordination with other refinery units.
As per planned schedule refinery will release load and same manner stopping of CPP units can be
done. Before stopping any of power or steam generating unit one thing must be kept as prime
importance that in any case refinery should not face any problem regarding power or steam
limitations for their normal shut down procedures.
We here will discuss the basic step of stopping the major steam and power generating equipments of
CPP. Sequence of stopping of major equipment purely depends upon the steam and power
requirement of Refinery at a given movement of time and also based on the availability of Fuel and
DM water for CPP operation. Sequence will be purely judgmental and based on requirement of
refinery and availability of CPP equipments at a given instance. Stopping of various major steam and
power generating equipments of captive power plant can be done as per their standard procedures as
mentioned below
Shut down of any one STG will result into power loss as well as HP & MP level steam extraction loss.
Power loss: 35 MW, HP Steam loss: 158 t/hr & MP Steam loss: 164 t/hr
Adjust the load on Boiler to meet the amount of steam required in this case
Ensure PRDS VHP-HP (10-PV-1113A or B) & HP-MP (10-PV-1205A or B) & VHP-MP (10-
PV-1321A or B) operates to maintain normal HP & MP level of steam demand as
extractions from STG not available.
before start the unloading of STG (575-MT-00-001 or 2) confirm that FE/FS are available
in field near local control panel
From ECS select “Droop” mode of operation for turbine planned for shut down.
Confirm in ECS power generator load controller in “AUTO”.
slowly reduce MP & HP extraction and finally close extraction.
Start unloading of STG, once load reach up to 10% of rated (3.4 MW) select “LOCAL” at
SCAP, press circuit breaker control switch to “OPEN”, confirm from ECS.
Reduce the turbine speed up to 1200 rpm from control panel.
Trip the turbine & ensure speed drop to zero on control panel.
When the turbine rotor speed reaches zero indicated at turbine control panel confirm
turning device has started on auto and turbine is rotating at 8-15 rev/min.
Isolate VHP steam line to STG; close fully 01-GTV-1102/1102A, 01-GTV-MOV-1103.

Reduce the turbine speed up to 1200 rpm from control panel.
Trip the turbine & ensure speed drop to zero on control panel.
When the turbine rotor speed reaches zero indicated at turbine control panel confirm
turning device has started on auto and turbine is rotating at 8-15 rev/min.
Isolate VHP steam line to STG; close fully 03-GTV-MOV-1103/1103A,
Open TTV condensate drains.
Isolate turbine sealing steam and gland steam condenser system.
0
When turbine bearing metal temperature reaches below 60 c stop turbine turning device.
Put AOP/EOP hand switch on manual & then stop main oil pump.
Instruct E/M to isolate 575-MT-00-001 generator breaker rack out and apply LOTO.
Also ensure isolation of electrical supply to following equipments and apply LOTO.
Auxiliary oil pump motor(575-03-P-402)
Emergency oil pump motor (575-03-P-403)
Jack oil pump motor & turning device motor
Lube oil heater.
STG is now ready for maintenance. Hand over the equipment to maintenance with valid
work permit after the required isolation is carried out.
3. Utility boiler shutdown:
Shut down of one UB will lead to a loss of 240 TPH of MCR steam generation, however no shedding of
steam in any unit is required as shortfall of the steam is taken care by power shedding. Steps to be
taken during shut down of utility boiler as follows:
Once Boiler is decided to stop for any reasons, first ensure that Boiler is taken out of
Master pressure control mode, keep running in load control mode.
Start reducing the load by reducing the Load control set point for Boiler & Increase the
load on another two running UB to take to MCR condition
Repeat the process till the Boiler load reduces up to 30% of MCR. Below this value it is not
recommended to run the boiler in AUTO control mode
After 30 % of boiler load reduction take out the boiler from load control mode of
operation to Manual mode of operation
For taking out the boiler from AUTO control mode, first put boiler fuel controller for
running fuels in manual mode, by selecting the control valve for HSD/LCO fuel supply CV
(FCV-8907A) & Fuel gas control valves (FCV-8803A/B) and putting it to manual mode.
Then take FD fan air controller into Manual mode by selecting the controlling element
(i.e. FD fan IGV, 575-06-FCV-8669A) and putting to manual.
Once Air and Fuel is out into manual mode, Boiler load demand is said to be out of service
and boiler is said to be in Manual mode of operation.
Keep reducing the steam demand of Boiler by cutting down the burners from the boiler
running on Naphtha/LCO and FG respectively.
Boiler Operation need to keep on ensuring that reduction of boiler load should not impact
the steam and power demand of refinery from CPP
Decrease in steam load will leads to Boiler drum level controller element to go from 3
element control to single element control on reduction of steam load to <30% of MCR of
boiler
Ensure that the drum level in boiler is remain in AUTO operation even working in single
element control.
Open start up vent valve MOVs (GLV-MOV-8762 and RGV-MOV8763) to vent the below
rated steam to atmosphere without putting into the VHP header.
Close the Main steam stop valve (MSSV, GTV-MOV-8764) of the boiler to ensure the
positive isolation of Boiler from VHP header.
Stop supplementary firing for HRSG and Shut down the HRSG and keep GT to run in open
cycle mode of operation. Line up GT exhaust to bypass stack, close DD towards HRSG.
Ramp up the running HRSG/UB, load to 100% to overcome some deficit of steam
demand. Rest will be taken care by tripping of ISBL units
From ECS select “Droop” mode of operation for GTG planned for shut down.
Start unloading of GTG, once load reach up to 10% of rated (3.4 MW) select “LOCAL” at
SCAP, press circuit breaker control switch to “OPEN”, confirm from ECS.
Once generator breaker opens FSNL will be displayed on GTG panel.
Give stop command from mark-6 panel.
After 95% speed of machine ensures starting of AOP/AHOP.
Once speed display reaches to zero Ratcheting will start automatically.
0
Ensure shaft movement 47 after each 3 minutes.
AOP will run till complete cool down cycle.
0
Ratcheting can be stopped once wheel space temperature comes down below 100 c.
5. HRSG shutdown:
Shut down of HRSG will result into GT open cycle mode operation. This will not result into power
shortage but definitely a shortfall of 110 TPH of steam in CPP. Step to taken are:
Once HRSG is decided to stop for any reasons, first ensure that HRSG is taken out of
Master pressure control mode, keep running in load control mode. Increase the load on
running HRSG/UB to MCR condition
Reduce the load in step of 2.5% per minute for load down to 50% MCR. Reduce
supplementary firing accordingly.
After 50 % of boiler load reduction take out the boiler from load control mode of
operation to Manual mode of operation
For that first put boiler fuel controller for running fuels in manual mode, by selecting the
control valve for Naphtha/LCO fuel supply FCV (04-GLV-PNM-7734/7735) & Fuel gas
control valves (04-FCV-PNM-7702/7703) and putting it to manual mode.
Keep reducing the steam demand of Boiler by cutting down the burners from the HRSG
running on HSD/LCO or FG respectively.
Reduce the load gradually below 50% MCR, 10% per minute with one minute hold up time
for every 10% load reduction.
Do not start closing of diverter damper towards HRSG until supplementary firing is fully
shut down.
Decrease in steam load will leads to HRSG drum level controller element to go from 3
element control to single element control on reduction of steam load to <30% of MCR .
Ensure that the drum level in HRSG is remain in AUTO operation even working in single
element control.
Open start up vent valve MOVs (MS-028 & MS-029) to vent the below rated steam to
atmosphere without putting into the VHP header.
Close the Main steam stop valve (MSSV, MS-036) of the boiler to ensure the positive
isolation of Boiler from VHP header.
After stopping supplementary firing slowly operate diverter damper towards bypass stack
which intern closing Gas turbine exhaust towards HRSG.
After complete closing of diverter damper towards HRSG & line up towards bypass
exhaust stop TSP dozing, close start up vent.
Isolate MUH system to avoid cold end corrosion in stack
Ensure minimum BFW flow to HRSG drum to avoid starvation of tubes by maintaining
drum level through the FRS 30% CV.
Do not stop seal air fan & scanner fan & allow natural cooling to occur through Chimney
draft.
2
Open all air vents of boiler at 2.5Kg/Cm pressure to avoid any chances of vacuum
formation and failure of pressure parts on shrinking / Implosion.
After cooling down of furnace Positive isolate the Fuel supply header of HRSG from the
main header and closed all the main isolation valve of fuel to boiler before giving boiler for
Maintenance.
CHAPTER – 08
When the safe routing operation is interrupted emergency procedures are sometimes required to
overcome the potential hazards. If continuation of unit operations on limited basis is impractical the
unit must be shut down as safely as possible.
The emergency procedures attempt to overcome the hazard of a quick shut down. Emergency can
result from equipment failure and from interruption of utilities. Certain features have been designed
into the plant to minimize the likelihood of emergencies. These includes spare pumps, exchangers
etc. Operators should be thoroughly familiar with emergency procedures and understand the reasons
for each work. Good judgment must be exercised as no written procedure can completely cover all
details or problems that can arise in an emergency. Judgment is more likely to be exact if prior
thought and planning have been made. As during emergency there is no time, emergency procedure
must be learnt beforehand.
Various Emergencies and the steps to be taken during various emergencies are given in details as
below. Emergencies are broadly classified into two main categories:
Emergency within CPP due to equipment or process problem
Emergency from Utilities
Each of the above mentioned category consist in details further level of Emergencies as describe
below
Tripping of any one STG will result into power loss as well as HP and MP level steam extraction loss.
PSEB power of 35 MW is capable to take care of single STG trip. Step to be taken are:
Importing Power from PSEB without activating LSS (until Frequency of system remain healthy)
If frequency drops, LSS to activated
Reduce the load on Boiler equal to the amount of steam condensing during STG running
Ensure PRDS operates before loading STG # 2 to meet the demand of refinery of HP/MP steam.
Ensure PSEB take all load without overloading the CPP m/c. However the limiter to be fixed
for importing the power from PSEB to avoid crossing Maximum Demand condition (MD).
Check the reasons for STG tripping before restarting the turbine
Stop CEP of tripped STG if problem is acute
Ensure MOP/ALOP in operation and STG taken on barring
Reduce CW pump flow by opening through CT Riser valve to avoid high inlet pressure in
running STG condenser
Restart the STG once fault rectified
Tripping of one UB will lead to a loss of 240 TPH of MCR steam generation, this may result into steam
based load shedding by STG at CPP level and thus the power shedding at refinery level. However no
shedding of steam in any unit is required as shortfall of the steam is taken care by power shedding.
Here even though PSEB is available or not, steam based power shedding is required at CPP level to
reduce down the STG load to matching the Refinery steam demand. Shortfall in power to taken care
by PSEB (if available, other LSS) and steam shortfall is taken care by steam base power shedding of
STG in CPP only. Steps to be taken during such emergency are
Load on STG to throw to predetermined level keeping extraction at predetermined level
Power shedding to be immediately taken care by PSEB power
PRDS to be quickly operated to ensure the HP/MP/LP header pressure and thus VPH header
pressure due to Boiler trip and thus STG reduce load
Increase the load on another running UB’s to take to MCR condition,
Stop FD fan after 10-15 min of operation and ensuring that no fuel exist inside tripped UB.
This is done to avoid faster cooling of furnace and simultaneously avoid low air inside furnace
after tripping to avoid firing
Ensure scanner fan is running
Ensure all trip valve of fuel is closed and Burner retract back to normal position
Ensure minimum drum level (>30%) to avoid starvation of boiler tubes during tripping boiler
by taking FRS control in manual operation
Open drain of SH header (if trip period is greater than 30 mins). If trip is lesser than the
period mentioned or the pressure inside boiler is >7-10 Kg/cm2 g, restart the boiler
Check all the faults level and rectify the problem before re-starting
Inform to SS for the event and ask refinery unit to reduce down the steam load as much as
possibility can to avoid loss in header pressure
Give priority to VHP steam header pressure inside CPP
Stop UB LCO pump and put in to ACO mode of operation
8.1.4 GT tripped/failure/shutdown
Tripping of one GT will lead to a power loss of 34.5 MW and also a loss of 110 TPH of steam
generation from HRSG. GT tripping means HRSG forced tripping. Power loss of 34.5 MW can be back
up with PSEB. Steam loss to be ramped up by UB loading and steam shedding at ISBL units like DHDT
Tripping HRSG only will result into GT open cycle mode operation. This will not result into power
shortage but definitely a shortfall of 110 TPH of steam in CPP. This result into steam based power
shedding at CPP. No steam shedding at Refinery level is envisaged. Steam based Power shedding at
CPP will result into power shedding at refinery level. Step to taken are:
Ensure GT operate at full load in open cycle mode
Ensure minimum BFW flow to HRSG drum to avoid starvation of tubes by manually opening
the FRS 30% CV to minimum position
Ensure no Fuel in Boiler burners and MFT SOV are in closed position
Isolate MUH system to avoid cold end corrosion in stack
Shed the power at STG level by shedding steam supply to STG
Increase the load on running UB to MCR condition
Shed the load inside refinery due to steam based power shedding at CPP if PSEB is not
available otherwise extract addition power from PSEB as per requirements.
Check the faults, rectify and reset the boiler before re-starting.
DCS/ BMS failure result into the failure of control system inside CPP. As there are total 15 DPU for
BOP, 5 DPU for STG controller, 4 DPU for GT mark VI control along with separate BMS system,
chances of failure of complete DCS is very rare. In case if any one DPU fails, each panel is provided
with redundant DPU backup which automatically taken into service. The changeover of DPU is bump
less. Step to be taken are:
Ensure DPU trip through proper checking of annunciation at DCS level
Ensure that redundant DPU take over the system
Check the complete association system related of failure DPU panel
Check all the controller associated with failed DPU panel and ensure working normal. Check
by taking controller in manual and again putting in to AUTO
Check console monitor system healthiness
If failure is more predominant, stop the Boiler, STG , BPTG and GTGs through their local PB /
Emergency push button
Inform to Shift SS immediately, along with concerned Instrument Engineer for rectification
Never open panel back end until unless power work permit is given or necessary emergency
approval taken for the same from HOD.
In case on BMS failure, check the system which gets impacted by failure. In BMS the
controller is off TMR type so the redundant module should take care of failure.
Switch gear system failure can be at 33 KV GIS panel, 6.6 KV HT panels or at 415 V LT panels, the
consequence depends upon the level of failure at what mode.
8.1.7.1. 33 KV GIS failure
Failure of 33 KV GIS will result into complete Refinery power distribution network failure which will
result into complete refinery shut down and power blackout. Even after availability of CPP power
generating source, the Power will not be able to distribute to refinery as well as CPP internal due to
unavailability of 33 KBV GIS system. Chance of failure of complete 33 KV GIS is very less as the
complete system is design as ring header type with bus coupler and ICT provision to isolate the faulty
bus from main bus and thus avoid the failure of 33 KV GIS. Steps to be taken are:
Trip all STG, BPTG and GT
Trip all UB and HRSG
Start Black start DG set, power the CPP using the Emergency Bus bar (10HV201)
Check the problem, rectified, reset and start the 33 KV power distribution either from PSEB
power or from GT power after starting GT
6.6 KV HT switch gear is used to supply HT power to CPP internal drives as well as provide power
supply to LT distribution transformer and thus the LT panels. Failure of HT system will result into
tripping of HT drives inside CPP which result into part or complete tripping of CPP major equipments
except GTGs. However GT will trip due to unavailability of ACW for cooling. Black start DG set can also
be not started as failure is at 6.6 KV level. However the 6.6 KV bus bar is divided into three bus with
appropriate bus couplers. Chances of failure of all at a time is very less.
415 V LT switch gear is used to supply LT power to CPP internal drives as well as provide power AC
UPS system for DCS. Failure of LT system will result into tripping of LT drives inside CPP which result
into part or complete tripping of CPP major equipments. Black start DG set also cannot be started as
failure is at 415 V level. However the 415 V bus bar is divided into 6 PMCC which is further divided
into equipment specific MCC with appropriate bus couplers. Chances of failure of all PMCC at a time
is very less.
Failure of HSD/LCO/Naphtha tankages will result into reduction in bulk storage capacity of CPP liquid
fuel. HSD being not a continuous usage fuel and HSD is only used during GT start up or during fuel
change over time in GTGs, the maximum consumption of GT is 24 m3/hr and a tank having capacity of
200 m3, the survival time is 8 hours of operation.
In case of LCO, failure of one LCO tank will result in reduction of storage time by one day. One tank is
capable to deliver the full load operation LCO i.e. 97 m3/hr of LCO for 22 hours of day operation.
Beyond which the plant need to be tripped. This is considering when no FG/Naphtha is available as an
alternative fuel for firing in CPP. If FG is available, the duration of backup will increase from 22 hours
depending the load taken on FG firing. Provision of FG firing is available in all equipments and all
equipment can run at MCR condition with FG as well as LCO fuel.
In case of failure of Naphtha tank, nothing much will be affected because Naphtha is used as a
substitute of LCO/FG. When no FG/LCO is available as an alternative fuel for firing in CPP, Run GTGs in
HSD and take burner in HRSG/UB in Naphtha.
Single Deaerator of holding capacity of 420 m3 of Feed water at normal level is available at CPP. The
holding period provide the back up of 20 min to operate the CPP at full load, after which the BFW will
trip result into complete CPP trip.
Also the spray nozzle is common in Deaerator. Failure/damage of nozzle, poor Deaeration will result
and thus increase the chance of higher oxygen content inside BFW which hamper tube life. Shutting
down of Deaerator will result into complete CPP stoppage.
Power blackout occur when all 6 source of power generating units i.e. 5 CPP generator and 1 PSEB
grid power is not available. This result into complete refinery blackout condition. Step to be taken
during the situation are:
Ensure that one survive UB keep running at full load operation for safe refinery shutdown
All TD units like, UB FD fan, UB LCO TD, ACW TD, BFP DT unit cater the need of only one

running boiler
Ensure that the HP/MP/LP steam header pressure inside CPP is maintain to avoid tripping of
running TD units
Ensure steam is available at refinery unit at required pressure.
Communicate to SS for steam shedding in refinery units and maintain header pressure
Ensure start of BSDG set on power failure sensing
Start the GT through supplying BSDG power and starting diesel engine
Start FRP cooling tower to supply ACW water to GT
Ensure PA / IA availability from refinery. Normally IA pressure should go to <3.5 Kg/cm2 g after
20-25 min of operation after blackout. However Emergency IA back up is available inside CPP
to cater the IA need of CPP only.
Start GT and synchronized with 33 KV grid to supply power to CPP aux as well to critical
drives in refinery
There are other Emergency like failure of both STG, failure of GT and STG simultaneously, failure of all
3 UBs, failure of STG and BPTG, failure of both GT, etc. All this cases are details studied in finalizing
the LSS. Refer the LSS final document for detail. However the level of emergency at equipment level is
same as mentioned above for individual equipment failure.
DM water to CPP is coming from RO/DM unit of refinery. The capacity of DM supply to CPP is limited
to size of DM supply header of 18” (1000 TPH – Max.). Failure of DM transfer to CPP will result into
CPP tripping with 20 minute of operation at full load due to Deaerator feed storage tank empty out.
However the back up of approximately 650 TPH of refinery condensate from RO/DM unit is also
available. Step to be taken are:
Ensure Deaerator level set point to be increase to ensure accommodation of make-up water
to maximum level (80%) of Deaerator
Ensure that CST tank level is normal and condensate make up fill the tank at full capacity.
Check the rate at which the refinery condensate filled the CST tank and rate at which the
steam is generated and BFW is sent to refinery. At full load operation of CPP and at full load
incoming condensate rate, CPP can successfully survive for 1 hour of operation.
Inform the SS and Utility team to provide DM to CPP.
Inform Utility FS to divert maximum allowable Condensate to CPP through condensate header
Inform SS to reduce down the steam and BFW rate in refinery (if possible)
Start providing DM through any other source with a shortest possible time
PA/IA to CPP is coming from IA unit of refinery. The capacity of IA supply to CPP is limited to size of IA
supply header of 2” (571 Nm3/hr – Max.). Failure of IA to CPP will result into complete CPP tripping.
However the back up of Emergency IA system is available at CPP end having a capacity of 451 Nm3/hr
IA generation which is sufficient to cater the need of CPP operation. Step to be taken are:
Ensure the Emergency IA system is always in ready to start mode of operation and IA receiver
is filled at 30 Kg/cm2 g to cater the need of IA inside CPP for max 30 min if Emergency IA does
not start.
Ensure that Emergency IA start and cater CPP demand
8.2.3. N it r o g e n Unavailability
Nitrogen to CPP is coming from Nitrogen unit of refinery. The capacity of IA supply to CPP is limited to
size of Nitrogen supply header of 4” (1000 Nm3/hr – Max.). Failure of nitrogen to CPP will not directly
result into tripping of Gas Turbine if running on FG. However if HP nitrogen system is not available for
longer duration of time, the GT running on FG is required to tripped due to low HP nitrogen header
pressure to GTG. As HP nitrogen system take input from refinery Nitrogen, and as GTG running of FG
continuously consume HP nitrogen, prolong failure of nitrogen back up will result into forced tripping
of GT running on FG. Also if any GT to be started or taken on load using FG required a larger content
of FG for purging which again increase the consumption rate of HP nitrogen
Also UB and HRSG burner running on FG required FG as a purging source during burner stoppage.
Also nitrogen pressure is a start permissive for FG firing in any unit. Low pressure will not allow the
unit to fired on FG. Steps to be taken are:
Ensure that HP Nitrogen system is always in ready to start mode of operation and the
receivers are filled at 42 Kg/cm2 g to cater the need of HP nitrogen for GT operation.
Ensure that nitrogen is always available at required pressure for purging in burner.
Unavailability of HSD and LCO and Naphtha will not impact too much if the duration is less than 12 to
24 hours of operation. Prolong unavailability will result into forced outage of power and steam
generating equipment at CPP. However all equipment inside CPP are design for dual fuel operation at
MCR condition. So backup of FG as fuel is always available in case of prolong outage of
HSD/LCO/Naphtha fuel from refinery. However FG pressure is of critical importance and one need to
ensure that FG header pressure at CPP B/L is maintained.
CHAPTER – 9
NORMAL OPERATION OF THE UNIT
9.1 INTRODUCTION
After the unit has been started up and lined out, the focus shifts to reaching and maintaining a state
of optimum operation. This state of optimum operation can be achieved by establishing a few general
operating rules and being aware of potential problems which can occur. First, a means of judging
performance must be defined.
Secondly, a list of operating variables is established. Using these operating variables, an approach to
Operating the unit is outlined with respect to the performance indicators. This procedure establishes
a logical method for operating the plant, increasing yields and ensuring longer operating cycles.
DM water enters the Condensate collecting tank (575-CST-00-001) as makeup water for Boilers. Flow
Orifice (10-FE1702) is used to measure the flow of DM water to CST. Rate at which the DM water
enters to CPP depends upon the Level controller installed on CST tank. The Level transmitter (10-
LT1701) controls the DM water inlet to CPP through Level Control valve (10-LV1701). There are
condensate supply headers coming from Refinery to Condensate storage tank. The Condensates
coming from refinery are:
Pure Condensate
Surface Condensate
Condensate from Process
Each above mentioned condensate header from Refinery complex coming to condensate storage tank
is provided with Motorized Operated valve (MOV). The logic behind putting the MOV is to close the
MOV on level high of condensate storage tank. Level transmitter (10-LT1701) is used to command the
MOV for closing on level high.
Other inputs to Condensate storage tank are:
1. STG # 1 and 2 Hotwell condensate return
2. BPTG GSC drain transfer through pumps (575-P-CF-006A/B)
3. BFPDT GSC drain transfer through Pumps (575-P-CF-010A/B)
Transfer pumps mentioned above for transferring Condensate from BPTG and BFPDT drain tank
having common Interlocks and controller as below are:
a. Pump Selection for Auto Change over (ACO) and A/M mode of Operation
b. Running Pump tripping on BPTG GSC drain collection tank (575-3-T-EE-401) level Low Low (10-
LT1706)
c. Running Pump tripping on BFPDT drain collection tank (575-3-T-EE-402) level Low Low (10-
LT1746)
d. BPTG pump Discharge common header pressure low (10-PT1708) to auto-start of standby
pump.
e. BFPDT Pump Discharge common header pressure low (10-PT1749) to change over the Pump and
trip the running pump after time delay
Two separate systems for transferring the condensate to Deaerator (575-DEA-00-001) are available.
1. Condensate through Condensate Transfer Pumps (TD-CTP, 575-P-CF-004A/B, 3 X 100%) and
LP heater (575-LPH-00-001)
2. Condensate through MUH transfer pumps (575-P-CF-003A/B, 2 X 100%) and HRSG # 1 and 2
MUH modules Both system of condensate transfer is provided with common Interlock and
controllers for Pumps. All 04 pumps inlet is provide with Manual Operated gate valve (10-
GTV1729/1730/1768/1769) with Open Limit switch (10-ZSH1729/1730/1768/1769). Healthiness of
the Limit switch is the start permissive for all respective pumps. Along with this start permissive one
additional start permissive for pumps is the CST tank Level not Low (10-LT1702). Also
Other Interlocks and controller of the Pumps are:
a. Pump Selection for Auto Change over (ACO) and A/M mode of Operation
b. Running Pump tripping on CST tank level Low Low (10-LT1702)
c. Discharge common header pressure low (10-PT1731/1719) to auto-start of standby pump.
LP heater drain tank condensate is transfer through LP heater drain transfer pumps (575-P-CF-
005A/B). The rate at which the condensate transfer by LP heater drain transfer pumps is being
regulated by Level control valve (10-LV1710) which is kept in discharge of transfer pumps common
header to Deaerator and the level of the drain tank is maintained accordingly. Other Interlocks and
controller of the Pumps are:
a. Pump Selection for Auto Change over (ACO) and A/M mode of Operation
b. Running Pump tripping on LP heater drain collecting tank level Low Low (10-LT1710)
c. Discharge common header pressure low (10-PT1743) to auto-start of standby pump.
d. Start permissive of Pumps on suction header manual operated gate valve open limit switch
(10-ZSH1797/1798)
LP steam flow to Deaerator is control through Pressure control valve (10-PV1407) which maintains
the Deaerator Pressure at 2.37 Kg/cm2 a. LP steam from LP steam supply header to Deaerator is
tapped off for initial heating of Feed water storage tank during Plant start up or initial start up. The
level in Deaerator/Feed water storage tank is normally maintained through Level transmitter (10-
LT1802) which controls the supply of Condensate transfer through condensate transfer pumps and LP
heater using level control valve (10-LV1802).
Other logics which maintain the Feed water storage tank Level are as below:
1. 2oo3 logic of Level transmitter (10-LT1801A/B and 10-LT1802) to command feed water
storage tank Overflow MOV (10-LV1801) to open on level above 50mm high level.
2. 2oo3 logic of Level transmitter (10-LT1801A/B and 10-LT1802) to command feed water
storage tank Overflow MOV (10-LV1801) to close on level below 50mm high level.
3. 2oo3 logic of Level transmitter (10-LT1801A/B and 10-LT1802) to command LP steam supply
header MOV (10-GTV-MOV1441) to close on level High High.
4. 2oo3 logic of Level transmitter (10-LT1801A/B and 10-LT1802) to command all Boiler Feed
Pumps (09 nos.) to trip on level Low Low
DM water used for CFBC Deaerator is given from tapping of discharge line of CTP after LP Heater.
DM water used for GT AA Cooler flow rate is control through Level transmitter (10-LT4825/4858)
installed on surge tank which in turn command the ON/OFF SOV (10-UV4887A/4888A) installed in
DM water supply header to surge tank. The DM forwarding pumps (02 nos., 2 X 100%, 575-P-00-
578B/579B/580B/581B) are installed to pumped the DM water from sludge tank to AA Pre-cooler.
Thus DM water keeps circulating in closed cycle.
DM forwarding Pumps Interlock and Control are:
a. Pump Selection for Auto Change over (ACO) and A/M mode of Operation
b. Running Pump tripping on DM surge tank level Low Low (10-LT4825/4858)
c. Auto-start of standby pump of Pump on common discharge header pressure low (10-
PT4830/4862)
The control of entire DM water and Condensate system as mentioned above is a part of DCS
controller system. Refer P&IDs: 1-381-01-03148-S01 and 1-381-01-03146-S01
9.3.2 Feed water from Deaerator to Individual Boiler Drum including Export BFW system:
Feed water stored in Feed water storage tank is common for entire CPP. Separate header are
provided to supply feed water to HRSG Feed water pumps (575-P-CF-007A/B/C) and UB feed water
pumps (575-P-CF-008A/B/C/D) along with Export feed water pumps (575-P-CF-009A/B) which
Feed water from Deaerator is supplied to UB Feed water pumps (BFP, 04 nos., 3W + 1S) through
Common supply header. Supply header for each UB BFP is provided with the Hand Operated Gate
valve with Open Limit switch (10-ZSH18131/18145/18159/18173). This will act as a start permissive
for Pump. Healthiness of the limit switch will allowed the Operator to start the Pump. UB Feed Pumps
Interlock and Control are:

b. FG drain tank for GT # 1 (575-T-00-523)
c. FG drain tank for GT # 2 (575-T-00-522)
All Naphtha related Offbase system drains are collected into the above mentioned drain tanks.
From which the submersible pump immersed in each tanks pump the drain to CPP common slope
header, which in turn divert all the drain to Refinery slope header including FG condensate drain
from CPP. Also all the flares collected from each drain tank are diverted to Refinery Flare Header.
Each UB for CPP are design to operate at MCR condition of 240 TPH, 107.5 Kg/cm2g @ 508 :C and
Feed water temperature at 125.6 :C. The same UB can operate a peak demand of 265 TPH with same
steam and Feed water parameter. Each UB consist of 08 nos. of low NOx Burners which are mounted
on Front wall for UB. UB for CPP can be designated as water cooled, Natural circulation type, Forced
draft, Bottom support, Bi-drum type Boilers. Normally LCO is used as a Main Fuel for Firing and
RFG/Naphtha can be used at a secondary fuel. All Burners of UB are capable to fire both the fuels but
only one fuel at a time in each Burner. However the boiler is design and control to fire both the fuel at
a time but in different set of burners. BMS (Burner Management system) is provided to Safe guard the
boiler from Fuel related Hazards and ensure that if any abnormality occurs which impact the Boiler
Operation; BMS will safety Turn off the Boiler operation. It is must as per NFPA requirements.
Controls of each UB are divided into two separate control system namely DCS and BMS. BMS will take
care for safety related issues of Boiler while DCS controller system is used to control and operate the
Boiler normal Operations. Few of the common control system related to Boilers are mentioned below
with the control system controlling the same are also mentioned:
a. Steam drum Level Controller – DCS based
b. Combustion Air and Fuel (both Fuels) controller – DCS based
c. Steam Temperature controller – DCS based
d. Master header Pressure controller – DCS
e. Air heater controls – DCS
f. Boiler Auxiliary system control – DCS/PLC
g. Burner Management system control and safety – BMS
Each UB is having associated Auxiliaries and integral system to support the normal Boiler Operations.
Refer P&ID no. 0-00-047-47817, 2-97-288-90441, 1-00-056-10442, 1-00-056-10443.

The Feedwater Pumped by Boiler Feed water pumps enter the steam drum through Feed regulating
station designated for each Boiler. Each FRS station consist of 1 X 30% Feed regulating Control valve
(06-FV1844C, 07-FV1845C, 08-FV1846C, 09-FV1847C) and 2 X 100% Feed regulating control valve (06-
FV1844A/B, 07-FV1845A/B, 08-FV1846A/B, 09-FV1847A/B) in parallel. The controls of this CV are in
steam drum level controllers which regulate the flow of feed water to steam drum. The feed water
from the steam drum enter to water wall tubes and Evaporator tubes through Natural Circulation
because of the density difference between feedwater and steam generated. The heat required to
convert the feedwater to steam is provided by burning of Fuel inside Furnace. The saturated steam
rises up inside the tube and gets collected back into steam drum. From steam drum the saturated
steam taken out and passes to Super heater I and II coils hanging in Furnace and convection zone
respectively of boiler from where the saturated steam pick up the heat from Flue gas and get
converted into superheater steam. The superheated steam is collected into superheater header and
flow to Boiler Main steam stop valve to VHP common header.
UB feed water and steam chemistry is continuous monitored using online analyzer and taking regular
sample at sampling station. Each UB are assigned with feedwater, Blow down, Saturated and
Superheater steam sampling station with necessary analyzer. Samples are cooled to 25 :C using ACW
cooling water before passing to analyzer. The decision to doze HP dozing chemical (Tri Sodium
Phosphate solution) to boiler depends upon the value of analyzer and sample results. HP dozing
chemical are added at prerequisite time directly into steam drum through HP dozing skid. The rate of
the chemical dozing is regulated and adjusted by changing the stroke of HP dozing pumps (2 X 100%).
Each UB is assigned with dedicated HP dozing pumps with common metering and solution preparation
tank. Refer P&ID no. 1-38101-03198-S01. Steam drum is also provide with MOVs for CBD and IBD
operation, which allows to drain the feedwater cum saturated steam from steam drum thus removing
the sludge formed due to chemical reaction between HP dozed chemical and feedwater.
For each UB, the air and Flue gas consist of FD fan (01 nos., Dual drive (steam and Motor with high
speed coupling for changeover), Dampers, Scanner fans, Wind box for Burner, Exhaust duct and stack.
FD fan installed for UB supply atmospheric air to UB for Fuel combustion. The rate of air flow is
regulated by the Inlet Guide vane (IGV) installed at inlet of FD fan which receive inputs from Air/Fuel
combustion controller. Air before entering to Wind box area is passed through SCAPH and RAPH which
increase the Air temperature at inlet of Furnace by gaining heat from Exhaust Flue gas from furnace.
Necessary dampers at inlet and bypass of RAPH and SCAPH are given to isolate the APH as a when
required depending upon the need of operation condition. Heat air get collected in wind box from
where the Air get distributed as per the opening and closing of Combustion air damper installed on
each Burner. The control of the combustion damper is regulated through BMS. It is basically an
Open/Close type of dampers. There are a set of manual operated damper called Primary and
secondary air dampers to regulate the flow and flame length and intensity for each burner. The
Damper positions are manually adjusted during commissiong and need not required frequent
The fuel and air are mixed and ignited inside the Burner and Flue gas generated is then passes through
different heat transfer zone of furnace. The hot flue gas from furnace first passes to Primary SH and
then to Secondary superheater. After superheater the next heat transfer zone is Economizer where
feed water before entering the steam drum get heater just below the saturation temperature at the
given pressure through flue gas. Flue gas there after enters into RAPH. RAPH is regenerative type
rotary APH where Hot flue gas transfer heat to Combustion air from FD fan. After RAPH the flue gas
which will be at the temperature range of 160-140 :C enter into stack installed inside the RCC
chimney. Stack is equipped with stack monitoring devices like Sox, NOx, SPM, CO and HC analyzer
which is also one of the mandatory required of State Pollution control board (PPCB).
All Feed water headers and steam header drain are collected into Water and steam drain header from
where the drain are diverted to IBD vessel. Interconnection is provided between Water drain header
and Steam header with a provision of Initial filling line for Boiler and Hydro test pressure connection
provision.
From SH I outlet header a tapping of 2” is taken for Soot blower (SB) Operation. Each UB consist of
total 15 nos. of SB out of which 10 nos. are LRSB type installed in Furnace and SH zone, 04 nos. are of
Rotary type installed in Economizer zone and 01 nos. is Air heated type SB installed in RAPH. The
drains of SB are diverted back to IBD vessel with Temperature control valve (TCV8749/8751) which
operates line temperature (TE8749/8751). There is another pressure control valve (PCV8744A) in the
upstream of SB supply header which regulate the SB steam supply header pressure greater than 30
Kg/cm2 g. Pressure transmitter (PT8744) is used to sense the downstream pressure of CV and thus
regulate the PCV through PID. Operate can set a set point of Pressure for SB. The block is also used
during blackout condition when activated through SB MCC command to PCV to maintain 30 Kg/cm2 g
pressure minimum.
Steam drum Level is basically a DCS based controller. UB steam drum consist of 03 nos. of Level
Transmitter (06/07/08/09-LT8711/8712/8713), 02 nos. of Electronic Water level indicator switch and
Transmitter (EWLI, 06/07/08/09-LS8717 and LT8714), Local Level gauge, Pressure Gauge
(06/07/08/09-PG8707), 03 nos. of Pressure Transmitter (06/07/08/09-PT8708/8709/8710), 02 nos. of
safety valve (06/07/08/09-SV1 and SV2, set at Pressure 124 and 127 Kg/cm2 g respectively). Steam
drum level controller act as a single element controller or a three element controller which maintain
the steam drum level as preset level at all the time during all stages of Boiler operation.
Before taking steam drum level controller into action, operator need to ensure that the all 03 nos. of
Feed regulating station CV are in AUTO operation mode and at 0% opening feedback. During start up
of boiler normally, steam drum level controller is kept in single element control in which the level
inside the drum is regulated directly by opening of Feed water control valve (30%, 06-FV1844C, 07-
FV1845C, 08-FV1846C and 09-FV1847C) through PID controller. 03 nos. of Level transmitter analog
signal goes to MVAS (Mid value Average selector) block which gives a single output as a signal which
gets Pressure and Temperature compensated and thereafter in Compensation block. The Output from
compensation block gets referred with SP set by the Operator in Difference block. The error signal out
of the difference block is act as an input for single element PID controller, which command the 30% CV
to open/close based on the input error signal to PID.
In three Element controllers, the level inside the drum is maintained not only through Level
transmitters but also through the signal of Feed water flow transmitter (06/07/08/09-FE1831) and
steam flow transmitter (06/07/08/09-FT1111) as a Feedback and feed forward signal respectively for
controller. The error signal from difference block enters to 3 element PID from which the PID signal
get summed with steam flow signal (which is already pressure and temperature compensated in
compensation block) as feed forwarded. The output from the summation block is compared with the
Feed water flow signal in another PID as a feedback signal. The output of PID is send as command to
both the 100% control valve (The command can be either going to only one controlling element or
two both control valve as split command depends up on SAT configuration. Normally both 100 %
Control valve will be remain in operation and in AUTO mode.
Switching of single element to three element control is to be done by Operator but the vice versa
operation will be done in AUTO. Permissive for switching from single to three element are feed water
and steam flow > 30% of MCR condition of UB. Refer the control scheme document no. 4-97-096-
92497 for details.
9.3.5.2 Combustion controller
The combustion control system comprises of Fuel flow control system and Air flow control system. The
combustion control system has been designed to take care of the special design requirements of multi-
fuel firing. The boiler is capable of firing 100% gas, and 100% High speed Diesel oil (HSD) or Light Cycle
Oil (LCO). These fuels can be fired independently or in combination in the boiler. Burner’s can be
started and fired either by LCO/HSD or fuel gas. Combination firing is not allowed in the individual
burners, the combustion control shall be put in Auto in the control range of 30 -100% MCR
Fuel Flow controller: In Fuel flow controller the demand signal either in the form of steam header
pressure or the boiler load depending upon the selection made by Operator, goes to Fuel ratio
computation block. In Fuel ratio computation block, the counting of burners running on FG and
HSD/LCO are done individually and both are summed together to get the total no. of burners in
operation. Now the FG ratio is calculated based on the no. of burner of FG divided total no. of Burner in
Operations. Similarly the HSD/LCO fuel ratio is calculated by dividing the no. of burner on HSD/LCO to
total no. running Burners in boiler. Now this calculated fuel ratio are multiplied with the total demand
signal. The total demand signal are not split or divided, but the total demand signal from Boiler load
controller PID after selection which are diverted to both the multiplication block. The output from the
Multiplication block for both the fuels enter the fuel control PID in which the actual flow measurement
signal from field are compared. Flow element (06/07/08/09-FT8803) is used for Fuel gas to Boilers and
Mass Flow meter (06/07/08/09-FM8907) is used for HSD/LCO fuel measurement to Boilers. The
demand signal from the Fuel control PID. In case of FG flow Pressure
compensation is applied to the flow transmitter output, from the signal from pressure transmitter
(06/07/08/09-PT8801) with a facility to remove this from the circuit by the engineer. The Fuel flow
controller output is fed to 0-25% flow control valve and 25-100% Flow control valve operating in split
range mode. In case of FG demand, the output from FG fuel controller PID is feed to 0-25% flow control
valve (06/07/08/09-FCV8803A) & 25-100% flow control valve (06/07/08/09-FCV8803B) while in case of
HSD/LCO fuel, the output from HSD/LCO fuel controller PID is feed to Feed control valve (06/07/08/09-
FCV8907A). Refer control scheme 4-97-096-92497-S08 for details. Auto/manual selection provision is
provided for all controlling element.
There is also a provision for Operator to Operate the fuel supply control valve in pressure control
mode. This is normally done during start up of Boilers where the inlet pressure of fuel to Boilers is used
to regulate the position of CV. The Pressure transmitter (06/07/08/09-PT8908 for HSD/LCO fuel and
06/07/08/09-PT8809) for FG fuel ) in the downstream of fuel supply CV regulate the fuel rate going to
Boiler. The set point is set for by an Operator depending upon the fuel demand during start up which
ensure that the Burner flame sustained and any additional requirement of fuel can be pre - adjusted
during lit of another burner.
There is an additional Burner safety logic inbuilt to protect the Burner from Overloading. When the
differential load between burners exceeds, the condition is alarmed, for the operator to take remedial
steps. The further increase of boiler load is blocked in the Master pressure control loop, till this
condition is cleared by the operator. The burner differential load condition is computed as follows-
a. The quantity of each fuel fired is measured. The calorific flue flow is computed as be Q FG and
QHSD.
b. The heat input in each of the burner for the fuel fired is QFG/NFG and QHSD/NHSD, where NFG
and NHSD are the no. of Fuel gas and Naphtha/LCO burner ON respectively. (Contact from BMS Fuel
nozzle valves open)
c. A computation circuit calculates the differential heat loading. When the differential heat load
between any two burners is greater than X%, alarm is generated till this condition is cleared by the
operator. This is to ensure that the all burners fire same quantum of fuel, as air distribution in all the
burners are same and in no case one burner get exceed loading as compared to other. It also help to
safe guard the burner operation running on part load as during any increase in demand, any additional
requirement of Burner should not be drive through running burner by excess loading.
The heat load in each burner is computed. When the burner heat load capacity is exceeded, alarm shall
be generated and further increase in boiler load is blocked by blocking the demand generated by Boiler
load controller till this condition is cleared by the operator.
Air Demand Controller: In case of Air demand controller, the same demand signal generated from
Boiler load controller PID is imputed to calculate the Combustion Air demand. System is design to
ensure that the Air/Flue mixture inside the Furnace should always being air rich thus ensuring safe
combustion inside the furnace. This is being done by two ways (i) with O2 steam flow controller as back
up controller and (ii) by putting manual bias in demand signal to Air flow controller PID and both
control are kept in series to ensure that if any movement of time if one control malfunction, second
control being in series rectify the demand of air and thus ensuring Air rich mixture in furnace.
The demand signal from Boiler load controller is compute with the signal of any burner “ON” on FG and
HSD/LCO separately. Both the outputs are compared and the higher value is selected to generate Air
demand signal. The generate air demand signal is enter to computed block which has input from O2
analyzer (AT8678) signal PID installed in Flue gas path after RAPH. The signal of O2 analyzer is having
the backup controller as steam flow signal. This is done to ensure that if any movement of time if O2
analyzer fails or malfunction, actual steam flow is compute to generate the air demand requirement
for complete enrich combustion. The Steam flow signal from Boiler is computed with the signal of any
burner “ON” on FG and HSD/LCO separately. Both the output are compared and the higher value is
selected which input to PID in which the actual Flue gas exhaust O2 analyzer (After RAPH) act as a
another input signal. The PID output is input to the computation block in which the generate air
demand signal also comes as another signal. The air demand output signal is also
compared with the Min air requirement Block (min 30% MCR air demand) which is one of the interlock
for Boiler. Any demand less than 30% is locked and the signal of minimum air flow goes as demand to
Air demand controller PID. The demand signal before entering to air demand controller PID passes
through a Bias Block in which operate add or subtract the demand quantity by incorpating BIAS value.
The demand with BIAS enter to air demand controller PID where Actual air flow is the another signal to
PID. Actual air flow is measured using venture type flow meter (06/07/08/09-FT8669-1/2/3) which get
Temperature compensated using temperature transmitter signal (06/07/08/09-TE8670-1/2/3)
respectively. The flow is linearised by means of square root extractor. And after that selection is done
by Mid Value Auto Selection (MVAS). The demand signal will be applied to the FD fan pneumatically
operated inlet control vanes (IGV) which regulate airflow. IGV is provided with the facility of
auto/manual selection and operation. Position indication for FD fan A inlet control damper (ZI8669A) is
provided as feedback to DCS. The control system is also interfaced with FD fan interlocking system
implemented in DCS, for overriding controls viz. FD fan inlet control damper full open/full close.
9.3.5.3 Boiler load controller
Loading on the Boiler is done by increase in demand of steam or by fluctuation of Pressure of steam
from Boilers. Individual Boiler Loading can be control by two fundamental methodologies:
a. Load control
b. Pressure control
In Load control mode, the steam demand is the driving signal for loading the boiler. The MCR rating of
the boiler i.e. 240 TPH of steam generation is equivalent to 100% loading demand of UB. Operator set
the demand signal for the Boiler. This demand signal control the rate of Flow of Fuel and Air into
system into which generate steam. The driving parameter for the Boiler is steam flow rather than
steam pressure and steam temperature. Boiler will try to generate the demanded quantity of steam
without checking the other steam parameters. Normally if operated smoothly the other steam
parameter i.e. pressure and temperature will follow the demand signal and try to maintain the
condition as per operating condition requirements. But operator does not have any cont rol on both
the steam parameters. This control is normally used for the faster response from the Boiler. Flow
controller being the faster PID controller as compared to Pressure and temperature controller, the
response of boiler with respect to deviation/error signal from controller is faster responded by the
boiler Auto Control logics cycle. In Steam demand controller / Load controller, the actual steam
demand signal from FE in the discharge main steam header gives an input signal which is compared
with Operator set point in the steam controller PID. The error signal generated from PID is the input to
the Fuel and Air controller demand signal / Combustion controller PIDs. Refer the details of
Combustion controller 2.2.5.2
In Pressure control mode for Boiler load controller, the steam header discharge pressure is the driving
signal which maintained and regulates the supply rate of Fuel and air to Boilers. Here the steam
pressure is given the top priority. All Boiler Auto control logic and combustion controller will be driven
by steam header pressure. The Pressure sensing point is in the Main steam header for each Boiler and
normally 2oo3 mode is used. Boiler MCR condition i.e. 107.5 Kg/cm2 g is the reference point and
equivalent to 100% steam pressure demand. Operator gives and set the set point for the boiler to
operate. The set point may be in terms of % demand or a direct pressure value. In our case it is direct
pressure value which is being set by operator. Boiler once set in pressure control mode will try to
maintain the set header pressure irrespective of steam quantity generation. Any sudden fluctuation in
demand will indirectly reduce the header pressure which in turn regulates the fuel and air flow to
furnace. The response time being slow as compared to Load controller, it is normally not
recommended to put boiler in pressure control mode for fluctuating load demand, especially for
process type industries. The actual pressure measured in Main steam header for each boiler is inputted
along with the set point and both are compared in steam pressure controller PID. The error signal
generated from PID is the input to the Fuel and Air controller demand signal / Combustion controller
PIDs. Refer the details of Combustion controller 2.2.5.2
Operator has a provision of selector switch for selecting the Boiler load control methodology.
Operator can selected each boiler control mode operation from DCS.
The above two methodology are for the normal mode of each Boiler operation. In our case as there are
6 nos. of steam generating unit and output from each boilers are connected to common VHP header
from where the distribution of VHP steam inside CPP is done. So all 6 nos. of Boilers in CPP are said to
be in Parallel operation. In order to regulate the controls of all 6 nos. of boilers with a single demand
signal, the master pressure controller system is used. In Master pressure controller, the VHP steam
header pressure normally 2oo3 is a demand signal for all boilers loading. The 2oo3 signal from MVAS
system enters to Master pressure control PID where it is compared with demand signal set by
Operator. Normally the demand signal is the operating condition of VHP steam header (107 Kg/cm2 g).
This demand signal from Master pressure controller is calculated with the all boiler steam flow
summation block, and thereafter the demand for each Boiler is output to each boilers with a provision
block of manual Bias. The output from the Bias block is goes to A/M selector block. If the block is
selected in Auto mode, and the individual boiler is selected for load control mode than the master
pressure command is the driving command for Fuel and air flow regulation for Boiler. So before putting
the boilers in master pressure control mode, it is must that the operator put each boiler in Load control
mode and then put the control in Auto mode. Once put into Auto mode, master pressure signal with
bias will load the boiler based on the actual VHP steam header pressure. Loading of boiler will be done
based on the steam flow during selection of master pressure control. Thus this system allowed loading
the each Boiler equally. Operator has a provision to remove an individual boiler out of master pressure
controller by putting the boiler in Manual load or pressure control mode. The complete Boiler load
controller including master pressure controller are control through DCS. Refer document no. 3-381-21-
01894.
The steam temperature controller is used to control the super heated steam temperature after Platen
SH (SH – I) before entering into Convection SH (SH – II). The steam temperature is controlled by
spraying the Boiler Feed water directly into the steam path. Spray water is tapped from the Boiler
feed water supply header to Boiler. The spray station is provided with a main pneumatic operated
spray control valve (06/07/08/09-TCV8732A) and Standby pneumatic operated spray control valve
(06/07/08/09-TCV8732B). In case the main valve is taken for maintenance, the Standby valve can be
used for remote manual control of the de-superheating spray. In the automatic mode, SH spray water
valve is controlled by a cascade control. The Main steam heater temperature is measured by three
temperature sensors (06/07/08/09-TE8732/1/23) and steam temperature after de-superheater (desh)
outlet temperature is measured by three temperature sensors (06/07/08/09-TE8725/1/23). Each TE
output goes to MVAS. Under normal conditions, SH outlet temperature the primary control variable is
in the outer loop of the cascade control for each valve. SH desh outlet temperature an index of the
immediate effect of spray valve operation is in the inner loop.
The outer loop PID controller receives an error signal equal to the deviation of SH outlet temperature
set point and measured final SH outlet temperature. The SH outlet temperature set point is
programmed as function of unit steam flow or manually set. The outer loop controller establishes a
set point for the SH desh outlet temperature. To this set point, steam flow feed forward signal is
added as feed-forward control signal. This modified set point is compared to the measured de-super
heater outlet temperature and the resulting error is used to position the SH spray control valve.
Auto/manual station is provided for auto/manual selection and operation of pneumatic operated
spray control valve. Interlocks are provided to close the SH spray valves at loads less than 20% MCR.
On Boiler Trip condition, the feedwater inlet supply line SOV (09/07/08/09-GLVCBV8753) get closed.
Refer P&ID no. 0-00-047-47817
BMS is called Burner Management system which protects the Boiler/Burner during emergency or
abnormal Boiler condition. It is nothing but a safety manager system which is PLC based, installed to
safe guard the Boiler and ensure smooth, quick and safe shut down of boiler due to any abnormalities
beyond the DCS control. BMS design Philosophy is Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) based which is
the latest operated and universally acceptance Philosophy.
All UB and HRSG are provided with BMS system. All the communication to BMS from either directly
from field as analog input or through digital input from field or through DCS/ESC/SCAP is through
hard wire contact only. Communication to BMS cannot be possible through Modbus communication.
However all signal except few critical signal from BMS can be communicated to DCS through modbus
communication channel. All Interlocks and critical signal back to field is also through Hardwire. BMS is
master control while DCS and other controller are acting as slave. All Operation related to any boiler
burners are through BMS only. Start/stop operation of Burner is through BMS.
All Logic, start permissive, safety interlocks, etc are programmed in BMS by which the Boiler burner
will operate. Any abnormality in Operation will be sense by the Instrument which acts to stop / trip
the burner immediately without any time backlog. The response time of BMS is in Milli second
because the system is design to safe guard the Assets during abnormality without human interface.
Being PLC controlled and most of signal especially for operation is configured hardwire the time cycle
for command exertion was very less. All Burner start / stop sequence is from BMS HMI while the rate
of flow of fuel are under DCS controller.
BMS is provided with DPU with Quadra redundancy. All DPU are in service but at any movement of
time only one DPU is master rest all 3 are slave. Failure of master will not lead to failure of controller
but result into bump less transfer to another DPU in fraction of second. There is no loss of DATA
during the process and Inbuilt RAM of DPU is sufficient to continuous the process without over
loading. Similar to DCS system, BMS panels are provide with Analog input and output cards and
channels, DI/DO cards and other necessary system like – Interposing relays, Barriers, Channel
communicator, Back plane controller, annunciator, etc with necessary wiring and cables. Analog
inputs/ Output are of 08 channel card while DI/DO is 16 channel card. The power source to BMS panel
is through 220 V AC supply.
Steam supply to Soot Blower is SH steam tapping taken from SH – I steam outlet header before des-
superheating station. Steam flow to SB is regulated by Pressure regulating valve (06/07/08/09-
PRV8744A) which get signal from the downstream header mounted Pressure transmitter
(06/07/08/09-PT8744). The actual downstream pressure is compared with set point set by operator in
PID and the error signal is position demand signal for PRV. Power black condition is interlocked from
SBMCC to soot blower pressure reducing valve and the valve is regulated for maintaining a minimum
pressure. There are two more Temperature Control valve (06/07/08/09-TCV8749 and 8751) in the
downstream drain header for AH zone and Boiler zone respectively. Control signal to both TCV are
from the Temperature element (TE849 and TE8751). On low temperature (220 :C) the TE command to
open TCV and on temperature (310 :C) the TCV are command to close. This is how the heating is done
in SB line. Refer P&ID no. 0-00-047-74817. Starts permissive for SB operation from DCS are:
a. Header temperature >310 :C
b. Flow of steam in SB header > 5 TPH
c. Header pressure greater than 18 Kg/cm2 g.
Air Heater cold end temperature control is provided to maintain the average cold end end temperature
(ACET) of Air heater above acid due point to avoid corrosion of AH cold end elements by adjusting the
temperature of air at AH inlet. This is done by either varying the steam flow to SCAPH or regulating AH
air Bypass damper (575-06/07/08/09-LM-003)
SCAPH Operation:
a. SCAPH will operate normally to attain required Average cold end temperature (ACET) for RAPH.
b. For this, SCAPH main line damper 575-06/07/08/09-LM-006 is to be closed and SCAPH inlet and
outlet dampers 575-06/07/08/09-LM-004 and LM-005 are to be opened.
c. Air heater bypass to be isolated by closing AH bypass damper when SCAPH is in operation.
d. The AH Secondary air inlet temperature (06/07/08/09-TE8668) and AH Flue Gas outlet
temperature (06/07/08/09-TE8679) is measured and averaged. The average temperature is compared
with the set point of 96 :C. The error signal has a proportional and integral action in the SCAPH steam
temperature controller. This controller output is the position demand signal for the SCAPH steam
temperature control valves. (Main & standby TCV 8668A/B) for the control of steam flow through the
valve.
e. Auto/manual station is provided for auto/manual selection and operation. Position indication
(ZI8668A/B) is provided for the main & standby SCAPH Steam temperature control valves.
Note:
When ACET is not attained even when steam flow control valve is fully open, it indicates inadequate
steam supply and in this case SCAPH is to be removed from service and Air heater bypass is to be put
into operation.
b. SCAPH is to be isolated by closing SCAPH inlet and outlet dampers and closing SCAPH steam
supply CV.
c. Average cold end temperature of Air heater is maintained as 96 :C by keeping SCAPH main line
damper (575-06/07/08/09-LM-006) open & the controller output is the position demand signal AH
bypass regulating damper.
d. Auto/manual station is provided for auto/manual selection and operation. Position indication
(ZI8668C) is provided for the SCAPH Steam temperature control valve.
Note:
Change over from Air heater bypass to SCAPH is to be done manually by the operator based
on availability of steam.
Each HRSG for CPP are design to operate at MCR condition of 110 TPH, 107 Kg/cm2g @ 508 :C and
Feed water temperature at 125 :C. HRSG is design with supplementary firing provision to cater the
rated steam parameters. Each HRSG consist of total 19 nos of Fuel firing duct low NOx type Burners
with each Burner capable to handle only one kind of fuel (12 nos. for LCO/HSD and 07 nos. for FG/RG).
HRSG can be designated as Natural circulation type, Supplementary Fired, top support, single drum
type Boilers. Normally Naphtha/LCO is used as a Main Fuel for Firing and FG/RG can be used
secondary fuel. Both Naphtha/LCO and FG/RG burners are capable to operate individual and generate
rated steam. HRSG is with combination fuel firing provision. BMS (Burner Management system) is
provided to Safe guard the boilers from Fuel related Hazards and ensure that if any abnormality
occurs which impacts the Boiler Operation; BMS will safety Turn off the Boiler operation.
Controls of each HRSG are divided into two separate control system namely DCS and BMS. BMS will
take care for safety related issues of Boiler while DCS controller system is used to control and operate
the Boiler normal Operations. Few of the common control system related to Boilers are mentioned
below with the control system controlling the same are also mentioned:
a. Steam drum Level Controller – DCS based
b. Combustion controller – DCS based
c. Boiler Load controller – DCS based
d. Steam Temperature controller – DCS based
e. Augmenting Fan damper control – DCS
f. Burner Management system control and safety – BMS
Each HRSG is having associated Auxiliaries and integral system to support the normal Boiler
Operations. Refer P&ID no. 0-24-400-80706, 3-97-400-86770, and 0-00-056-51135 HRSG integral
system consists of:
a. Steam drum
b. Superheater, Evaporator, Economizer and MUH modules
c. CBD/IBD vessel
d. Burners (FG and LCO)
e. Steam and Water sampling station and SWAS system
f. Spray attemperator for SHs
g. Safety valves (03 nos.)
h. Drain headers
i. Start up vent and Main steam stop valve (MSSV)
While HRSG Auxiliary consists of:
The Feedwater Pumped by HRSG Feed water pumps enter the steam drum through Feed regulating
station designated for each Boiler. Each FRS station consist of 1 X 30% Feed regulating Control valve
(04/05-FV1816C) and 2 X 100% Feed regulating control valve (04/05-FV1816A/B) in parallel. The
controls of this CV are in steam drum level controllers which regulate the flow of feed water to steam
drum. The feed water from the steam drum enters to Modules through Natural Circulation because of
the density difference between feedwater and steam generated. The heat required to convert the
feedwater to steam is provided by burning the Fuel in duct burner zone with the help of exhaust Flue
gas from Gas Turbine. The saturated steam rises up inside the module and gets collected back into
steam drum. From steam drum the saturated steam taken out and passes to Super heater I and II coils
hanging in as a first 4 modules in flue gas path HRSG from where the saturated steam pick up the heat
from Flue gas and get converted into superheater steam. The superheated steam is collected into
superheater header and flow to Boiler Main steam stop valve to VHP common header.
HRSG feed water and steam chemistry is continuous monitored using online analyzer and taking
regular sample at sampling station. Each HRSG are assigned with feedwater, Blow down, Saturated
and Superheater steam sampling station with necessary analyzer. Samples are cooled to 25 :C using
ACW cooling water before passing to analyzer. The decision to doze HP dozing chemical (Tri Sodium
Phosphate solution) to boiler depends upon the value of analyzer and sample results. HP dozing
chemical are added at prerequisite time directly into steam drum through HP dozing skid. The rate of
the chemical dozing is regulated and adjusted by changing the stroke of HP dozing pumps (2 X 100%).
Each HRSG is assigned with dedicated HP dozing skid consisting of dozing pumps with metering and
solution preparation tank. Refer P&ID no. 2-80-219-80157. Steam drum is also provide with MOVs for
CBD and IBD operation, which allows to drain the feedwater cum saturated steam from steam drum
thus removing the sludge formed due to chemical reaction between HP dozed chemical and
feedwater.
For each HRSG, the Flue gas consist of Inlet duct with duct burners after Guillotine Dampers, Scanner
fans, Augmenting air fans, Seal air fans and Exhaust chimney. The Exhaust gases from GT are diverted
to HRSG through Diverter and Guillotine dampers. Both Dampers logic are in GT control. Once HRSG
healthy signal is available, first Guillotine damper open command is generated and once the Guillotine
damper open feedback healthy signal received, Diverter damper is command to open which allow GT
exhaust gas to divert through HRSG modules. Refer Control scheme no 3-36502-69008 for Guillotine
and Diverter damper controls. The Flue gas first passes through duct burner zone where LCO and FG
burners are installed which burn the fuel injected into system with the help of Flue gas from GT.
NOTE: HRSG is not installed with FD fan for fuel firing. Augmenting Air fan is used only for
Naphtha/LCO fuel firing.The high temperature flue gas then passes over the Water filled Modules
hanging in the flue gas path where the actual heat transfer occur between Flue gas and water through
module tubes with extended fins for effective heat transfer area. There are total 54 nos. of Module
and its arrangement is as below:
Row of Tube
Type of Module
tubes type
Evaporator 2 Bare
Superheater - 2 2 Bare
Superheater - 1 2 Bare
Evaporator 23 Fins
Economizer 20 Fins
Water preheater / MUH 5 Fins
The flue gases after WPH/MUH module enter into steel chimney. Chimney is equipped with stack
monitoring devices like Sox, NOx, SPM, CO and HC analyzer which is also one of the mandatory
required of State Pollution control board (PPCB).
All Feed water headers and steam header drain are collected into Water and steam drain header from
where the drain are diverted to IBD vessel. Interconnection is provided between Water drain header
and Steam header with a provision of Initial filling line for Boiler and Hydro test pressure connection
provision.
From SH I inlet header a tapping of 2” is taken for Soot blower (SB) Operation. Each HRSG consist of
total 16 nos. of rotoary type of SBs. The drains of SB are diverted to IBD tanks for HRSG. The p ressure
control valve (04/05-PCV8174) in the upstream of SB supply header regulates the steam supply by
getting the pressure signal from pressure transmitter (04/05-PT8174) in the downstream pressure of
PCV.
Steam drum Level is basically a DCS based controller. HRSG steam drum consist of 03 nos. of Level
Transmitter (04/05-LT8107/8108/8109), 02 nos. of Electronic Water level indicator switch and
Transmitter (EWLI, 04/05-LI8145), Local Level gauge, Pressure Gauge (04/05-PI8111), Pressure
Transmitter (04/05-PT8110), 02 nos. of safety valve (04/05-BW051 and BW063 set at Pressure
132/135 .9Kg/cm2 g respectively). Steam drum level controller act as a single element controller or a
three element controller which maintain the steam drum level as preset level at all the time during all
stages of Boiler operation.
Before taking steam drum level controller into action, operator need to ensure that the all 03 nos. of
Feed regulating station CV are in AUTO operation mode and at 0% opening feedback. During start up
of boiler normally, steam drum level controller is kept in single element control in which the level
inside the drum is regulated directly by opening of Feed water of 30 % control valve. 03 nos. of Level
transmitter analog signal goes to MVAS (Mid value Average selector) block which gives a single output
as a signal which gets Pressure compensated thereafter in Compensation block. The Output from
compensation block gets referred with SP set by the Operator in Difference block. The error signal out
of the difference block is act as an input for single element PID controller, which command the 30% CV
to open/close based on the input error signal to PID.
In three Element controllers, the level inside the drum is maintained not only through Level
transmitters but also through the signal of Feed water flow transmitter (04/05-FE8101) and steam
flow transmitter (04/05-FT8139) as a Feedback and feed forward signal respectively for controller. The
error signal from difference block enters to 3 element PID from which the PID signal get summed with
steam flow signal (which is already pressure and temperature compensated in compensation block) as
feed forwarded. The output from the summation block is compared with the Feed water flow signal in
another PID as a feedback signal. The output of PID is send as command to both the 100% control
valve (The command can be either going to only one controlling element or two both control valve as
split command depends up on SAT configuration. Normally both 100 % Control valve will be remain in
operation and in AUTO mode.
Switching of single element to three element control is to be done by Operator but the vice versa
operation will be done in AUTO. Permissive for switching from single to three element are feed water
and steam flow > 30% of MCR condition of UB. Refer the control scheme document no. 3-97-400-
87014 for details.
For HRSG the combustion control system comprises only of Fuel flow control. The Air/Flue gas coming
from GT exhaust is not having any control in scope of HRSG. However, minimum air flow is required as
a start permissive for HRSG to be put into operation. HRSG can operate in supplementary firing mode
operation in order to delivery the rated output of steam with a minimum GT loading of >40%. HRSG is
capable of either firing 100% gas or 100% Naphtha or Light Cycle Oil (LCO) and combination of both
Fuel at time to get rated output of steam.
Fuel Flow controller: In Fuel flow controller the steam demand signal either in the form of steam
header pressure or the boiler load depending upon the selection made by Operator, goes to Fuel ratio
computation block. In Fuel ratio computation block, the counting of burners running on FG and
NAPHTHA/LCO are done individually and both are summed together to get the total no. of burners in
operation. Now the FG ratio is calculated based on the no. of burner of FG divided total no. of Burner in
Operations. Similarly the NAPHTHA/LCO fuel ratio is calculated by dividing the no. of burner on
NAPHTHA/LCO to total no. running Burners in boiler. Now this calculated fuel ratio are multiplied with
the total demand signal. The total demand signal are not split or divided, but the total demand signal
from Boiler load controller PID after selection which are diverted to both the multiplication block. The
output from the Multiplication block for both the fuels enter the fuel control PID in which the actual
flow measurement signal from field are compared. Flow element (04/05-FT7704) is used for Fuel gas to
Boilers and Mass Flow meter (04/05-FM7719) is used for NAPHTHA/LCO fuel measurement to Boilers.
The demand signal from the Fuel control PID. In case of FG flow Pressure compensation is applied to
the flow transmitter output, from the signal from pressure transmitter (04/05-PT7703) with a facility to
remove this from the circuit by the engineer. The Fuel flow controller output in both type of fuel is feed
to 0-30% flow control valve (04/05-FCV7706 in FG and 04/05-FCV7721 in NAPHTHA/LCO) & 25-100%
flow control valve (04/05-FCV7705 in FG and 04/05-FCV7720 in NAPHTHA/LCO). Refer control scheme
3-97-400-87018 for details. Auto/manual selection provision is provided for all controlling element.
There is also a provision for Operator to operate the fuel supply control valve in pressure control mode.
This is normally done during start up of Boilers where the inlet pressure of fuel to Boilers is used to
regulate the position of CV. The Pressure transmitter (04/05-PT7722 for NAPHTHA/LCO fuel and 04/05-
PT7707 for FG fuel) in the downstream of fuel supply CV regulate the fuel rate.
The set point is set for by an Operator depending upon the fuel demand during start up which ensure
that the Burner flame sustained and any additional requirement of fuel can be pre-adjusted during lit
of another burner.
There are two additional Burner safety logic inbuilt to protect the Burner from Overloading. (A) When
the differential load between burners exceeds X%, the condition is alarmed, for the operator to take
remedial steps. The further increase of boiler load is blocked in the Master pressure control loop, till
this condition is cleared by the operator. The burner differential load condition is computed as follows-
a. The quantity of each fuel fired is measured. The calorific flue flow is computed as be QFG and
QHSD.
b. The heat input in each of the burner for the fuel fired is QFG/NFG and QHSD/NHSD, where NFG
and NHSD are the no. of Fuel gas and NAPHTHA/LCO burner ON respectively. (Contact from BMS Fuel
nozzle valves open)
c. A computation circuit calculates the differential heat loading. When the differential heat load
between any two burners is greater than X%, alarm is generated till this condition is cleared by the
operator. This is to ensure that the all burners fire same quantum of fuel, as air distribution in all the
burners are same and in no case one burner get exceed loading as compared to other. It also help to
safe guard the burner operation running on part load as during any increase in demand, any additional
requirement of Burner should not be drive through running burner by excess loading.
The heat load in each burner is computed. When the burner heat load capacity is exceeded, alarm shall
be generated and further increase in boiler load is blocked by blocking the demand generated by Boiler
load controller till this condition is cleared by the operator.
(B) When the Temperature elements installed in Flue gas path of Duct Burner zone (06 nos., 04/05-
TE7608 to 7613) and on material skin of Superheater modules (12 nos., 06 nos on each SH module,
04/05-TE8118 to 8129), exceeds the preset safe limit, the fuel control valve based on the same logic of
Fuel ratio calculation block will try to reduce the 10% fuel flow to HRSG by closing the Control valve in
same ratio as demand. The system then waits for 60 sec to check the Temperature. The cycle will
repeated till the exceed temperature comes below the safe limiting value. During this run down
operation, any increase demand in fuel flow is override. Operator will get an alarm once this operation
is activated.
In HRSG being no FD / ID fans, no air control is required. The only fan which required controls is
Augmenting Air fans. Refer 2.2.6.6 for augmenting air fan controls.
Loading on the Boiler is done by increase in demand of steam or by fluctuation of Pressure of steam
from Boilers. Individual Boiler Loading can be control by two fundamental methodologies:
a. Load control
b. Pressure control
NOTE: HRSG normally operate on steam header Pressure control mode only as the load on the HRSG is
depends upon the GT loading. In this case pressure control mode sis best suited. However Load control
mode can also feasible but required Operator attention.
In Load control mode, the steam demand is the driving signal for loading the boiler. The MCR rating of
the boiler i.e. 110 TPH of steam generation is equivalent to 100% loading demand of HRSG. Operator
set the demand signal for the Boiler. This demand signal control the rate of Flow of Fuel into system
into which generates steam. In Steam demand controller / Load controller, the actual steam demand
signal from Flow Transmitter (04/05-FE8139) in the discharge main steam header gives an input signal
which is compared with Operator set point in the steam controller PID. The error signal generated from
PID is the input to the Fuel and Air controller demand signal / Combustion controller PIDs. Refer the
details of Combustion controller 2.2.6.2.
In Pressure control mode for Boiler load controller, the steam header discharge pressure is the driving
signal which maintained and regulates the supply rate of Fuel Boilers. The Pressure is sense by
Pressure transmitter (04/05-PT8136) in the Main steam header for each Boiler. Operator set the set
point for the boiler to operate. The set point may be in terms of % demand or a direct pressure value.
In our case it is direct pressure value which is being set by operator. Boiler once set in pressure control
mode will try to maintain the set header pressure irrespective of steam quantity generation. Any
sudden fluctuation in demand will indirectly reduce the header pressure which in turn regulates the
fuel and air flow to furnace. Even though the response time of pressure controller being slow as
compared to Load controller, it is normally advisable to run the HRSG on Load control mode as HRSG
depends upon GT flue gas exhaust quantity. If HRSG operate on Load control mode, chances of
overheating as well as unburnt Fuel in flue gas path are always there especially during GT part load
operation and HRSG on full load operation. That is why the additional burner safety point (B) in 2.2.6.2
is kept to control the skin temperature of pressure parts to avoid overheating. The actual pressure
measured in Main steam header for each boiler is inputted along with the set point and both are
compared in steam pressure controller PID. The error signal generated from PID is the input to the Fuel
and Air controller demand signal / Combustion controller PIDs. Refer the details of Combustion
controller 2.2.5.2
Operator has a provision of selector switch for selecting the Boiler load control methodology. Operator
can selected each boiler control mode operation from DCS. Over and above as discuss in 2.2.5.3,
master pressure controller is encompassing the HRSG boiler load control. Refer 2.2.5.3 for details and
document no. 3-381-21-01894 for Master pressure control.
The steam temperature controller is used to control the super heated steam temperature after Platen
SH (SH – I) before entering into Convection SH (SH – II). The steam temperature is controlled by
spraying the Boiler Feed water directly into the steam path. Spray water is tapped from the Boiler
feed water supply header to Boiler. The spray station is provided with a main pneumatic operated
spray control valve (04/05-TCV8153). In the automatic mode, SH spray water valve is controlled by a
cascade control. The Main steam heater temperature is measured by Temperature Element (04/05-
TE8133) and steam temperature after de-superheater (desh) outlet temperature is measured by
temperature sensors (04/05-TE8131). Under normal conditions, SH outlet temperature the primary
control variable is in the outer loop of the cascade control for each valve. SH desh outlet temperature
an index of the immediate effect of spray valve operation is in the inner loop.
The outer loop PID controller generate an error signal equal to the deviation of SH outlet temperature
set point and measured final SH outlet temperature. The outer loop controller establishes a set point
for the SH desh outlet temperature PID which is compared with actual outlet desh temperature. The
error signal from inner PID is used to position the SH spray control valve. Auto/manual station is
provided for auto/manual selection and operation of pneumatic operated spray control valve. On
Boiler Trip condition, the feedwater inlet supply line SOV (04/05-94SOVSW009) gets closed. Refer
P&ID no. 0-24-400-80706
Augmenting Air Fan is used to provide additional Air during NAPHTHA/LCO firing only. It is also a
permissive for HRSG healthiness signal. Before taking HRSG into service, Augmenting air fan should be
started and its inlet air damper should be kept at minimum position i.e. 5%. Normally, augmenting air
fan damper positioned to 5% opening on starting of Augmenting air fan. A decision is used to select
the position of Augmenting air damper based on fuel selected for supplementary firing. If HRSG is
fired only with FG or without firing, augmenting fan damper will position to 5% but when
NAPHTHA/LCO is selected as fuel for firing the augmenting air damper position to 80%.
Starting the gas turbine involves proper sequencing of command signals to the accessories, starting
device & fuel control system. Since a safe & successful start up depends on proper functioning of
almost all of the gas turbine equipment, it is important to verify the state of selected devices in
sequence. Much of the control logic circuitry is associated not only with actuating control devices, but
enabling protective circuits & obtaining permissive conditions before proceeding. Reference to the
control sequence programme is necessary for complete understanding of all the logic functions
included for the particular equipment provided with a gas turbine. The operating sequences of the
Control specifications are written to explain significant functions which pertain to a specific gas
turbine.
A block diagram of all SPEED TRONIC circuits which can interplay to control start-up, is shown in Figure
SECFR-1. Detailed descriptions are found in the SPEED TRONIC panel information included in this
manual & on the control sequence programme. Utilize figure SECFR-2, a plot of a typical start up, to aid
in understanding the sequences described here. Start up & shutdown cycle improvements have been
included to reduce low cycle fatigue of hot gas path parts.
An important part of the startup/ shut down sequence control of the turbine is proper speed sensing.
This is necessary for the logic sequences in startup & shut down of the gas turbine. The following speed
detectors & speed relays are used: L14HR Zero-Speed Detector, L14HM Minimum-Speed Relay
Detector, L14HA Accelerating Relay Speed Detector & L14HS High Speed Relay (some units use-a L14HF
fired shutdown relay).
o The zero speed detector, L14HR, provides the signal when turbine shaft starts rotating. If speed
is below L14HR, permissive logic initiates clutch engagement & the cranking sequence for the turbine.
During the shutdown cycle this speed detector provides the signal to permit the ratchet gear, or
turning device, to be placed in service in the automatic cool down logic sequence of the turbine. The
minimum speed detector L14HM indicates that the turbine has reached the minimum firing speed &
initiates the purge (if required) prior to ignition. The drop out of the L14HM minimum speed relay
provides several permissive functions in the restarting of the gas turbine after shutdown.
o The acceleration speed relay L14HA pickup indicates that the turbine has reached
approximately 40 to 50n percent in the acceleration cycle. The high speed sensor L14HS pickup
indicates that the turbine is at operating speed, & that the accelerating sequence is complete. With
this signal the inlet guide vanes are actuated unless the unit is equipped for modulation. See the inlet
guide Vane section.
o The L14HS dropout speed is used to close unmodulated inlet guide vanes upon turbine
shutdown. During a normal shut down the digital set point will countdown to minimum, the generator
breaker will open on reverse power & FSR will ramp to minimum. Flame will be maintained to shut
down speed where L14HA (or L14HF) will then drop out & drive FSR to zero.
o The settings of the speed are programmed in the computer as PROM constants & are listed in
the Control Specifications.
The start up control operates as an open loop control in the use of preset levels of the fuel
command signal, FSR. The levels set are “FIRE”, “WARMUP” & “ACCELERATION LIMIT”. The control
specifications provide proper settings calculated for the fuel anticipated. The FSR levels must be set in
the SPEED TRONIC start up control.
Start up control FSR signals operate through the minimum vale gate to insure that speed
control & temp control can limit FSR if required. During the starting sequence, rates of increase in
speed & exhaust temp are restricted to protect the turbine parts from excessive mechanical & thermal
stresses. The rates of acceleration & temp rise are controlled in dependently by the closed loops of the
speed & temp control systems. The rate limits operate through the SPEED TRONIC control circuits
discussed in those control systems.
The fuel command signals are generated by the SPEED TRONIC start up software. See the
turbine control sequence programme. In addition to three start up levels, the software sets maximum
& min FSR & provides for manual control of FSR. Pressing the switches for “MANUAL CONTROL” & “FSR
GAG RAISE OR LOWER” allows manual adjustment of FSR setting between FSRMIN & FSRMAX.
While the turbine is at rest, electronic checks are made of the stop/speed ratio vale, the gas
control valve, the accessories & the voltage supplies. At this time the operator display will be normal &
the “SHUTDOWN STATUS” will be displayed on the CRT. Activating the master operation switch L43
from “OFF” to an operating mode will activate the ready circuit. If all protective circuits & trip latches
are permissive the start up status “READY TO START” messages will be displayed & indicates the
turbine will accept a start signal. Depressing the “START” master control switch (LIS) will introduce the
start signal to the panel.
The start signal energizes the Master Control & protection circuits (the “L$” circuit) & starts the
necessary auxiliary equipment. The “L4” circuit permits pressurization of the trip oil system & engaging
of the starting clutch. With the “L4” circuit permissive & the starting clutch engaged, the starting device
starts turning. Start up status message “STARTING” will be displayed on the CRT. See point “A”
on figure SECFR-2.
Once the turbine crosses zero speed, the L14HR signal drops & deenergizes starting clutch,
solenoid 20CS. The clutch then requires torque from the starting device to maintain engagement. The
turbine speed relay L14HM indicates that the turbine is turning at the speed required for prop er
ignition in the combustors. Gas turbine unit have a purge timer, L2TV. A purge time is set to force
about four changes of exhaust duct air to ensure no combustible m9ixture is in the exhaust. The setting
for L2TV is given in the control specifications. The starting means will hold speed limit L2TV, which was
started with the L14HM signal, has completed its cycle.
The L14HM signal on completion of purge timer cycle enables fuel flow, sets firing level FSR, &
initiates the firing timer L2F-see point “B” on figure SECFR-2. When the flame detector output signals
indicate flame is established in the combustors, the warm up timer L2W starts & the fuel command is
set to the “WARMUP” FSR level. The warm up time is provided to minimize the thermal stresses during
initial part of the start up.
If flame is not established by the end of the L2F timer, the unit can be given another start signal
but firing will be delayed by the L2TV timer to avoid fuel accumulation in successive attempts. This
occurs even on units not requiring initial L2TV purge.
At the completion of the warm up period, start up control increases FSR exponentially to the
acceleration setting for “TURBINE ACCEL REFRENE INCREMENT RATE”. See point “C” on fig SECFR-2. As
fuel is increased, the turbine begins the acceleration phase of start up. The clutch is held in position as
long as the starting device provides torque to the gas turbine. When the turbine over runs the Starting
device, the clutch will be thrown out,. Speed relay L14HA indicates the turbine is accelerating
The start up control software establishes FSR signals during start which must not be exceeded.
Other control circuits are also able to reduce & modulate FSR to perform their control functions. In the
acceleration phase of start-up it is possible to reach the temp control limit, temp rate limit, low speed
stops, or shaft acceleration rate limits. The speed & temp control system will not permit these values to
be exceeded by controlling FSR as required. Control panel display will show which parameter is limiting
or controlling.

The start up cycle has been designed to moderate the highest firing temp produced during
acceleration. This is done by programming a slow exponential rise in FSR (120 sec time constant
normally) to a somewhat reduced ACCEL FSR setting. The acceleration rate control limit setting on the
speed control circuit is reduced during start up to over ride the rise in FSR during acceleration. It also
aids smooth transition to speed control at the end of the startup sequence. The startup sequence time
is extended to an optimum time to minimize strains produced on the hot gas path parts in mid-
acceleration cycle.
The minimum FSR limit on the start up control prevents the speed & the start up circuit from
driving. The FSR below the value which would cause flameout during a transient condition. For
example, with a sudden rejection of load on the turbine, the speed control system loop would drive the
FSR voltage to no less than the minimum FSR setting, without which a flameout would probably occur.
Since the minimum fuel FSR circuit does not connect to the temp amplifier, the temp control system is
capable of driving the FSR to zero to prevent excessive temp in the turbine.
The acceleration phase of startup ends when complete sequence is reached, (see point “D” on
figure SECFR-2). The turbine speed is controlled by FSR & the auxiliary pumps have been shut down.
Refer to figure SECFR-1 through SECFR-3 for starting sequence & control description.
A normal shutdown is initiated by electing the STOP switch on the Master Control Selector. This
will produce a L94X signal. If the generator breaker is closed when the stop signal is initiated, the digital
set point is counted down to reduce FSR & load at the normal rate until the reverse power relay
operates to open the generator breaker. When this occurs, FSR will be ramped to MIN. The MIN setting
should be adjusted to allow the turbine to coast down to the L14HA (or L14HF) drop out setting at 40-
50% in 3 to 4 minutes. When L14HA drops out, fuel is shut off by clamping FSR to zero & tripping the
stop valve closed.
During coast down on units having motor driven atomizing air booster compressors, the
booster is started at L14HS drop out to prevent exhaust smoke down to shut off. Units not having
motor driven boosters may require higher fuel shut off adjustment to avoid smoke.
Fired shut down is an improvement over the former fuel shut off at L14HS drop out where at
higher-speed the firing temp is higher & decays more rapidly. By holding flame until lower speed
(approximately 40%) there is a significant reduction in the strain developed on the hot gas path parts
at the time of fuel shut off.
See figure SECFR-4 for a typical shut down curve.
A temp control system is required, to control fuel flow to the gas turbine to maintain operating temp
within design thermal stress limitations of turbine parts. The highest temp attained in the gas turbine
occurs in the combustion chambers & that the gas temp occurs at the turbine inlet. This temp must be
limited y the control system. The temp control system is designed to measure & control turbine
exhaust temp because it is impractical to measure temp in the combustion chambers or at the turbine
inlet directly. This indirect control of turbine inlet Temp, called firing (combustion reference) temp, is
possible through known turbine performance relationships. The exhaust temp alone does not fully
determine firing temp: another dependent parameter is also required.
From thermodynamic relationships, gas turbine cycle performance calculations & known site
conditions, firing temp can be determined as a function of exhaust temp & pressure ratio across the
turbine. The latter is determined from the measured compressor discharge pressure (CPD). Firing temp
is also determined as a function of exhaust temp & fuel consumption which is proportional to the fuel
command Fuel Stroke Reference (FSR).
These relationships are shown on figure TCFR-1. The lines of constant firing temp are used in the
control system to limit gas turbine operating temp. Compressor discharge pressure is measure by 96CD
pressure transducer. Some applications use redundant 96CD transducers to ensure reliable compressor
discharge measurement.
The temperature control software determines the cold junction compensated thermocouple readings,
selects the temp control set point value, calculates the control set point value, calculates the medium
exhaust temp value, compares the set point & median temp & generates a fuel stroke reference (FSR)
signal to the analogue control system to regulate exhaust temp.
There are 18 exhaust temperature thermocouples in a fr-6 Unit. These are brought into the control
panel via the Isothermal modules TCM, where they are conditioned & divided among the three
controllers RST: e.g. for instance TC#1 to R, TC#2 to S, Tc#3 to T, TC#4 to R etc. All other non -critical
thermocouple signals are sent to C.
An additional thermocouple junction is created where the thermocouple wires are connected to the
terminals on the isothermal module. A voltage, that is a function of the temp at the connection points
& in opposition to the signal generated by the thermocouple, is generated at this junction. An RTD is
mounted on the isothermal module to measure this “cold junction” or connection point temp. These
RTD’s are scanned with the thermocouples as part of the analogue-input-scan program & the data is
stored in the analogue-input-data memory. The thermocouple data is also influenced by offsets in the
thermocouple amplifier & the analogue to digital conversion amplifier. An input is shorted on the
isothermal modules, the shorted inputs are scanned during the analogue input scan program & the
resulting data stored in the analogue input data memory. The cold junction scan program (figure TCFR-
2) operates on the cold junction temp RTD data & the amplifier zero offset shorted input data. The
results, which represent a sum of the two effects, are stored in the compensation data memory use in
the cold junction compensation program.
The thermocouple data, scanned & stored by the analogue input scan program, is corrected for cold
junction effect & amplifier offset, by cold junction compensation program figure TCFR-3. As determined
by the analogue input address table, data from the analogue input data table & the compensation data
tables are read by the cold junction compensation program, where thermocouple
data is corrected by adding the compensation value. These results are stored in the computer memory.
The exhaust temp control function selects control set points to allow gas turbine operation at various
firing temperatures. Temp reference selection is accomplished in the sequencing software (see the
turbine control sequence programme diagram). Typical input logic signals used are “Base select”, “Peak
Select”, & “Combined Cycle Select”. For example, the “Base Select” signal determines operation at
base firing temp. The appropriate set of constants are selected & used in the algorithm for calculation
of the temp reference set point.
The purpose of the exhaust temp control & protection system is to control the fuel flow t o the gas
turbine thus maintaining operating temp within the design thermal stress limitations of the turbine
parts. This system measures & controls turbine exhaust temp since it is impractical to directly measure
combustion chamber temp. Temp control is designed to over ride any other control demand for
increased fuel low (FSRT)
The speed tronic computes the gas turbine exhaust temp control reference. He exhaust temp is
controlled as a function of compressor discharge pressure, CPD. Dry low NOx units may require the
control curve to be broken in to two or three temp control curves. This allows firing temp to be limited
by a lineraized function of exhaust temp & CPD. A “backup” curve (secondary curve), is also a lineraized
function of fuel stroke reference, FSR or gas turbine output, DWATT which limits firing temp.
The secondary curve is offset above the primary curve by TTKRX2. This enables that the backup temp
control curve does not interface with the primary gas turbine exhaust temp control based on CPD. In
the event of a compressor discharge pressure transducer failure as detected by L3TFLT, the constant
TTLRX2 is subtracted from the secondary curve. This back up curve now becomes the control curve for
gas turbine exhaust temp.
The exhaust turbine exhaust temp control reference, TTRX is computed as the minimum select among
TTRXP, TTRXS & TTKn_1 & will not exceed the ramp rates (Slope) TTRXR1 & TTRXR2 during transients.
The typical rate limit is 5 Deg F per second.
Temp reference is reduced if compressor discharge pressure signal is less than a calculated operating
speed momentum. This failure is armed as “CPD signal low”. This failure reduces FSR BIAS by constant
TTKRX2 (fig TCFR-4) to permit operation at approximately rated firing temp till the fault is cleared. This
feature is shown on fig TCFR-7.
On two shaft gas turbines, fuel temp reference is increased by 7 Deg F for each percent HP set speed
below 100% ratted. This features allows LP governor speed control to increase exhaust temp above
that set by inlet guide vanes & nozzles over an HP speed operating range of 95 to 100%. This feature is
shown on fig TCFR-8.
The temp control fuel stroke reference algorithm compares the exhaust temp control set point with
the measured gas turbine exhaust temp as obtained from thermocouples mounted in the exhaust
plenum. These thermocouples are scanned & the signals are accessed by RST as well as C processor.
The exhaust temp vector algorithm (fig TCFR-5) reads the exhaust thermocouple temp values & sorts
them from the highest to lowest into TTXD2_n array. These signals (TTXD2_n) are used in the
combustion monitor algorithm as well as in the temp control system exhaust average algorithm. Each
value is looked at & all thermocouple signals below the constant TTKXCO which are considered low, or
from a controller to which communications are lost, are rejected from the averaging. The remaining
ones are looked at again, & the highest & lowest are rejected. The remaining ones are averaged in the
algorithm which calculates the exhaust temp median feedback, TTXM.
The TTXM value is used as the feedback for the exhaust temp comparator. This calculated feedback is
used because its value is not affected by extremes values that may be the result of faulty
instrumentation.
The temp control fuel stroke reference algorithm in RST compares the exhaust temp control set point
(calculated in the temp control reference algorithm) TTRXB to TTXM value to determine the temp
error. The software program converts the temp error to a fuel stroke reference signal, FSRT.
Should one of the communication links fail between one of the controllers & C, the controller affected
will freeze the value of TTXM at the last healthy sample & compare it with the current sample of TTXM
of the controller. This prevents large changes in the feedback signal. When the link becomes healthy
again there is a fixed rate of correction to prevent sudden bumps in the system.
With three FSRT values most errors can be removed to give reliable gas turbine operation. This is true
also with each controller doing the same calculations for TTXC & TTXM.
Variable inlet guide vanes (VIGV) are installed on the Gas Turbine to provide compressor pulsation
protection during start up & shut down & also to be used during operation under partial load
conditions for maximizing the exhaust temperatures. The variable inlet guide vane actuator is a
hydraulically operated assembly having a closed feedback control loop to control the guide vanes
angle. The vanes are automatically positioned within their operating range in response either to the
control system exhaust temperature limits for normal loaded operation, or to the control system
pulsation protection limits during the start-up & shut down sequences
The modulated inlet guide vane actuating system includes the following components: servo-valve
90TV-1, position sensors (LVDT) 96TV-1 & 96TV-2 & hydraulic dump valve VH3-1.
When the inlet guide vane trip solenoid 20TV-1 (located in the trip oil circuit) is energized, its drain
ports are blocked. This allows the trip oil pressure to build up & operate the dump valve VH3-1.
Actuation of the dump valve allows hydraulic oil to flow through servo-valve 90TV-1. Control of 90TV-1
will port hydraulic oil to the hydraulic cylinder & operate the variable inlet guide vanes.
The inlet guide vanes are automatically positioned during start-up & a shut down sequence to avoid
gas turbine compressor pulsation. The pulsation limit is expressed as a function of IGV angle &
corrected speed, shown by the broken line on figure MIGVCR-2. Corrected speed is a compressor
design parameter that is a function of the actual running speed of the compressor & the inlet air
temperature. The control system utilizes the measured variables of turbine speed & ambient
temperature to determine the required IGV angle & automatically position the IGVs at the required
angle. This control curve is shown on figure MIGVCR-2. Note that the control curve is set to avoid
operating the compressor at an IGV angle which would result in negative pressure at the 5th stage
extraction (air used for bearing seals).
For applications such as a regenerative cycle or where a heat recovery system (boiler) is installed in the
gas turbine exhaust, it is desirable to maximize the exhaust temperature. The control program for such
turbines includes an exhaust temperature control which automatically holds the IGV at a minimum
angle during part-load operations. An operator selectable soft switch is provided to permit selection of
this mode of operation.
During a normal start-up, the inlet guide vanes are held in the full-closed position (see the Control
Specifications for settings) until the proper temperature corrected speed is reached. Ta this time, the
inlet guide vanes will begin to open. The schedule is shown on figure MIGVCR-2. During full speed
operation & with less than 20% load, the inlet guide vanes remain in the minimum full speed angle.
The 11th stage compressor bleed valves, which must operate in conjunction with the guide vanes to
maintain adequate compressor surge margin, will be closed after breaker closure.
For normal shutdown, inlet guide vane actuation is the reverse of the startup sequence, the 11th stage
compressor bleed valves will open when the generator breaker is opened & will ramp to the full closed
position as a function of the turbine corrected speed.
In the event of a turbine trip also the 11th stage compressor bleed valves will open & the inlet guide
vanes will ramp to the full closed position.
When the “IGV TEMPERATURE CONTROL” mode is “OFF” the IGV angle reference is calculated using
the simple cycle curve. The guide vanes are held at the minimum full speed angle until the simple cycle
IGV exhaust temp set point CSKGVSSR is reached. (This temp control set point is programmed in the
software at approx 300 Deg F (167 Deg C) below the base temperature control set point). With increase
in the load the exhaust temp increases. A value computed as the product of constant CSKGVTP & the
difference between the actual mean exhaust temps TTXM & CSKGVSSR is added to the minimum angle.
This increased VIGV angle reference causing the VIGVs to open till the maximum angle. This sets a min
load which the unit must reach before the VIGVs are allowed to open. This si necessary to avoid
combustion resonance & must not be changed.
For applications which require exhaust temp control operation, the “IGV TEMP CONTROL” is switched
“ON” using the operator selectable soft switch. In this mode the guide vanes remain at the minimum
full speed angle until the base load exhaust temp limit is reached. With further increase in load & the
resultant increase of exhaust temperatures, the VIGV angle reference increases, thus opening the
VIGVs in order to maintain the exhaust temp at this limit until the VIGVs are fully open. At this point
the exhaust temp control reverts to fuel modulation. In order to keep the fuel control & IGV control
from trying to act simultaneously, a fuel control bias is added to keep the fuel line slightly above the
VIGV line. This bias is the product of constant CSKGVBG & the difference between the max VIGV angle
(constant CSKGVMAX) & the VIGV reference CSRGV. This bias becomes zero when the VIGVs are fully
open & the fuel temp control takes over.
The operator can activate or deactivate the IGV temp control made at any time via the panel soft
selector switch. The control system will automatically re-program the VIGVs to the correct position at a
controlled rate.
Manual open/close soft switches are provided on the manual control display to allow the operator to
manually position the IGV between the min full speed angle & full open. This control should only be
used in special circumstances to limit the travel (amount opened) of the IGV. The manual control is
limited to command an IGV angle which is less than that being called for by the automatic control
system. In normal operations the manual control is set at full open.
The guide vane protection system will trip solenoid valve 20TV-1, initiate a fast normal shutdown &
annunciate under the following conditions:
1. Low hydraulic supply pressure
2. VIGV position feedback (from LVDTs) does not match the position reference computed by the
control system
Should the inlet guide vane system be tripped under & one of the above conditions, the control
sequencing is programmed to inhibit any further attempts to restart the turbine until the cause of for
the trip is identified & estimated.
The primary IGV fault signals are generated by the “IGV NOT FOLLOWING CSRGV” algorithm
(L86GVTV2) & are as below:
- This algorithm compares the difference between the VIGV position feedback CSGV & the
reference signal CSRGV to generate alarm signal, L86GVA if the IGV is not following the reference
within the value of LK*^GVA1 for time duration more than LK86GVA2 (Refer control specifications
Settings for values)
- During part speed operation, a trip signal L86GVT is generated if the VIGV position feedback
CSGV does not agree with the part speed reference CSRGVPS within the value of LK86GVT1 for
duration more than LK86GVT2 will alarm & trip the turbine if the VIGV feedback CSGV falls below
minimum full speed angle LK41GVTX. Either of these conditions generates a trip signal L41GVT which
de-energizes the trip solenoid valve 20TV-1 leading to tripping of the gas turbine with an annunciated
alarm.
Fuel gas is controlled with the fuel gas stop/ratio & control valve assembly. Two valves are combined in
this assembly as shown in figure 1. Both are servo controlled by electrical signals from the Mark-V
control panel & actuated by single acting hydraulic cylinders moving against spring loaded plugs. It is
the gas control valve that controls the desired fuel flow in response to the command voltage, FSR. To
enable it to do this in a predictable way, the stop/ ratio valve is designed to maintain a predetermined
pressure, P2 at its inlet. Other system features, as discussed here, are provided for reliability of
operation & protection against malfunctions
The fuel gas control system contains the following components: gas strainer, gas supply pressure
switch 63FG-3, stop/ratio valve assembly, three redundant fuel gas pressure transducers 96FG-2A, 2B
& 2C, fuel vent solenoid valve 20VG-1, control valve assembly, four LVDT’s ( Linear Variable
Differential Transformers) 96GC-1, 2 & 96SR-1, 2, two servo valves 90SR-1 & 65GC-1, dump valve, three
pressure gauges & SPEEDTRONIC software. Refer to Figure 2, where all components are shown
interconnected schematically. A functional explanation of each part or subsystem is contained in
subsequent paragraphs. For more detail on the electro hydraulic circuits see SPEEDTRONIC system text
& control sequence program diagrams furnished to the site.
The position of the gas control valve plug is intended to be proportional to FSR, which represents the
called for fuel. When the turbine is to run on gas fuel, the permissives must be “true”. This enables the
GCV to open. The stroke of the valve will then be proportional to FSR. FSR goes through the fuel splitter
(discussed in the dual fuel section, if applicable) & becomes FSR2, which is then conditioned for offset
& gain. This signal (FSROUT) commands the gas FSR2, control valve position. The gas control valve stem
position is sensed by the output of a linear variable differential transducer (LVDT), rectified & fed back
to an operational amplifier. There are two LVDT’s. The highest output among these two is
selected & is compared to the FSROUT input signal at the summing junction. If the feedback is in error
with FSROUT, the operational amplifier will increase the signal to the hydraulic servo valve to drive the
gas control valve in a direction to decrease the error. In this way, the desired relationship between
position & FSR is maintained & the control valve meters the correct gas fuel (see figure 3).
Actuation of the spring-loaded gas control valve is by a hydraulic cylinder controlled by the electro-
hydraulic servo valve.
The plug in the gas control valve is contoured to provide the proper flow area in relation to valve
stroke. The gas control valve uses a skirted valve disc & venture seat to obtain adequate pressure
recovery, high-pressure recovery occurs at overall valve pressure ratios substantially less than the
critical pressure ratio. The net result is that flow through the control valve is independent of valve
pressure drop. Gas flow is a function of valve inlet pressure, P2 & valve area only. An open or a short
circuit in one of the servo coils or bad signal to one does not cause a trip. The GCV has two LVDTs & can
run correctly on one.
The position control loop is shown on Fig 4. Two LVDTs, 96GC-1 & 2, are used for position sensing.
Their feedback signals go through the SPEEDTRONIC where two independent transformers & a
discriminator circuit demodulate the LVDT AC output to give DC feedback signals acceptable for use by
the position control. The highest signal is diode gated & proportioned by an amplifier to the correct
valve stroke calibration. See figure 4 for a typical calibration curve.
It is this DC signal which is fed back & compared to FSR in the Mark-V. for stable control, the amplifier
error is properly proportioned by a berg jumper, to command the integrating amplifier which drives the
servo valve, 65GC. When the LVDT feedback equals the FSR input signal the servo-drive amplifier
summing junction is satisfied.
The control specifications give the correct position loop settings for a specific turbine.
The servo valves are furnished with a mechanical null offset bias to cause the gas control valve or
stop/ratio to go the zero stroke position on zero voltage or an open circuiting f both servo valve coils.
During calibration, checks should be made to ensure that this happens.
The stop/ratio valve is a dual-function valve. It serves as a stop valve & is therefore an integral part of
the protection system. Any emergency trip or normal shutdown will trip the value to its closed
position, shutting of gas fuel flow to the turbine. This is done either by dumping hydraulic oil from the
SRV hydraulic cylinder or driving the position control closed electrically. The valve also serves as a
pressure regulating valve to hold a known fuel gas pressure ahead of the gas control valve & because
of these dual functions the valve is sometimes called a stop/speed ratio valve.
The stop/speed ratio valve has two control loops. There is a position control loop similar to that for
the gas control valve & there is a pressure control loop (see fig 5). Fuel gas pressure P2 at the inlet to
the gas control valve is controlled by the pressure loop as a function of turbine speed. This is done by
proportioning the turbine speed signal TNH & comparing it with the pressure feedback signal from
transducer 96FG in software (see fig 6). Any error between signals causes the amplifier to generate a
control signal to reposition the valve. The valve will be modulated continuously to hold this pressure.
The pressure control signals commands a servo drive amplifier to control the ratio valve position loop
in the same way the gas control valve drives its position loop in response to FSR.
The stop/ratio valve provides a shut off of the fuel gas flow when required by either normal operation
or emergency conditions. A hydraulic trip dump relay valve is located between the electro hydraulic
servo valve, 90SR & the hydraulic cylinder. This dump relay valve is operated by the low pressure
control trip oil system (OLT). When the trip is at normal pressure, the dump valve is maintained in a
position that allows the electro hydraulic servo valve 90SR to control the cylinder position. When the
trip pressure is low ( as in the case of normal or emergency shutdown), to dump valve spring shifts a
spool to a position which dumps high pressure hydraulic oil in the stop/ speed ratio valve actuating
cylinder to the lube oil reservoir. The closing spring, stop the valves plug. Instantly shuts the valve,
there by shutting off fuel gas flow to the turbine combustors.
In addition to being displayed, the feedback signals & the control signals of both valves are compared
to normal operating limits & if the should go outside of these limits, there will be alarms generated.
The following are some typical alarms:
- L3GRVA_ALM------------- Stop/Speed ratio valve not tracking-Alarm
- L3GRVAT_ALM----------- Stop/Speed ratio valve not tracking-Trip
- L3GRVFLT------------------ Gas ratio valve position servo trouble
- L3GCVA_ALM------------- Gas control Valve not following- Alarm
- L86GCVT_ ALM----------- Gas control Valve not following- Trip
- L3GCVFLT------------------ Gas control valve servo trouble.
- L3GFIVP--------------------- Gas fuel inter valve pressure trouble
The servo valves are furnished with a mechanical null offset bias to cause the gas control valve or
speed ratio valve to go the zero stroke position (fail-safe condition) should the servo valve coil signals
or power is lost. During a trip or no run condition, a positive voltage bias is placed on the servo coils,
holding them in the position calling for the valve to be closed.
Turbines that are designed to operate on high hydrogen gas fuels (like refinery gas) are required with
controls to provide the following features:
1. Inert purge of the gas fuel lines when GT is shutdown or is operating on Liquid Fuel.
2. Pre-start purge while starting the unit on distillate ( Start-up on High Hydrogen Gas is
prohibited)
3. Inert purge of the gas fuel lines prior to transferring to High Hydrogen Gas
4. Transfer to High Hydrogen Gas
5. Inert purge of the gas fuel lines after transferring off High Hydrogen Gas
6. Inert purge of the gas fuel lines after trip even when operating with High Hydrogen Gas
The software diagram for the fuel selection is shown in Control Sequence Program.
Inert purge test can be done during GT shutdown condition (recommended) or Liquid Fuel mode of
operation with no High Hydrogen Gas (96FG-16A, B<50 psig) present upstream of VS4-11. When the
inert purge test is activated by operator, following sequence shall be followed automatically. Inert
Purge Sequence:
1. Open VAH1-8 & close VA13-32, verify N2 pressure with 96HPG-1, 63HPG-1A, B.
2. Confirm N2 pressure is within the range as mentioned in device summary & no N2 pressure
Low alarm
3. Close VA13-13 & VA13-14: open VAH1-2.
4. Confirm VA13-13 & VA13-14 closed (by 33PG-13C & 33PG-14C), then open VAH1-1 & VAH1-3
staggered 3 secs apart.
5. After 3 sec of VAH1-3 open command, open VA13-15 % VA13-20.
6. Start inert purge timer.
7. Successful completion of purge s indicated when TMR DP transmitter (1 no.)/ switches (2 nos.)
96HPGD’s & 63HPGD’s are more than 5 psid for the duration of the purge (60 secs). If any 2 of 3 TMR
HPGD’s is less than 5 psid for 20 secs, continue purge for 90 secs. Abort purge if still not successful.
8. At the end of successful inert purge, close VA13-20, VA13-15, VAH1-1, VAH1-2 & VAH1-3 (vent
valves shall be closed first, then N2 purge valves).
9. Open VA13-13 & VA13-14, if GT is in liquid fuel with no High Hydrogen Gas (96FG-16A, B<50
psig) present upstream of VS4-11.
At GT start, if high hydrogen gas is present upstream of VS4-11, a pre-start N2 purge needs to be
completed before the GT is allowed to continue its start-up. The steps are as follows:
1. If PT 96FG-16A, B>50 Psig, steps 1-7 of Inert purge sequence as detailed above to be followed.
2. At the end of successful inert purge, close VA13-20, VA13-15, VAH1-2 & VAH1-3 (vent valves
shall be closed first, then N2 purge valves). VAH1-1 shall be kept open to block the P1 cavity between
VS4-11 & VSR-11.
The above diagram shows the fuel system valve status during the Liquid Fuel mode above 95% speed,
when High Hydrogen Gas fuel is not present upstream of VS4-11. Key events:
1. At 95% GT speed, VA13-13 & VA13-14 are opened, VA13-15 closed to allow compressor
discharge purge air to the High Hydrogen Gas nozzles.
2. Vent valves VA13-20 & VA13-22 are open
3. If PT 96FG-16A, B<50 Psig, N2 block of P1 cavity is not required
4. Close VAH1-8 & open VA13-32 vent to prevent contamination of upstream N2 system.
During this mode, if High Hydrogen Gas pressure indicated by 96FG-16A, B>50 Psig, the actions
described in the next mode shall be initiated. The above diagram shows the fuel system status during
Liquid Fuel operation when High Hydrogen Gas pressure is detected at the inlet of the VS4-11 valves.
Key Events:
3. At the end of successful inert purge, close VA13-20, VA13-15, VAH1-2 & VAH1-3 (vent valves
shall be closed first, then N2 purge valves). VAH1-1 shall be kept open to block the P1 cavity between
VS4-11 & VSR-11.
4. Loss of N2 pressure in the P1 cavity, as indicated by pressure transducer 96HPG-1 & pressure
switches 63HPG-1A, B, will trigger Low alarm at 63HPG-1A set point & will triggered fired shutdown at
63HPG-1B set point. During the fired shutdown, if there is high pressure in P2 cavity, as indicated by
96FG-12A, B, C>50 Psig a trip to prevent mixing air with High Hydrogen Gas fuel.
The above diagram shows the Fuel system status during purge mode prior to transfer to High
Hydrogen Gas.
Key Events:
The following are the permissive for this mode
1. GT load greater than the value specified in control specification
2. Distillate fuel in operation
3. High Hydrogen Gas temp FT-G1-14A, B, 15A is in the range as mentioned in Device summary
4. High Hydrogen Gas pressure 96 FG-16A, 16B is in the range as mentioned in Device summary
Once fuel transfer to High Hydrogen Gas is selected, initiate Inert purge sequence as detailed
in sections above. Only steps 2-7 to be followed.
N2 supply pressure is monitored by pressure instrumentation 96HPG1, 63HPG-1A, and 1B. If N2
pressure drops below Low set point, it triggers an action (with the time delay of 3 secs) to abort the
purge & the transfer is inhibited.
Upon successful purge completion, close VA13-20, VA13-22, Vah1-1, and VAH1-2 & VAH13-15.
VAH1-3 should be left open to create a N2 block in the CPD purge cavity between VA13-13 & VA13-14.
Now the system is ready for transfer to High Hydrogen Gas.
Co-fire mode (mixed fuel operation) is not allowed for high hydrogen gas. The operator should be able
to select High Hydrogen Gas operation to transfer to 100% high Hydrogen Gas Permissive for this
mode are:
Successful inert purge determined by logics in previous step
GT load limit: DWATT as mentioned in control specification
High Hydrogen Gas temp limits: FT-G1-14A, B, 15A as mentioned in device summary
High hydrogen gas supply pressure limits: 96FG-16A, B as mentioned in device summary
N2 block I CPD purge cavity: indicated by 96PG-12, 63PG-12A, B, no N2 alarm
Unit operating on Distillate
The transfer sequence will go through following modes to reach 100% High hydrogen gas Mode:
High hydrogen gas manifold Pre-fill mode
Transfer Mode
Upon meeting all the permissive listed above, transfer to High Hydrogen sequencing should start.
Close vent valves VA13-20 & VA13-22
Open High hydrogen gas aux stop valve VS4-11
Open SRV to maintain P2 pressure set point
VGC-11 shall open to 10% stroke for 10 sec to pre-fill manifold with High Hydrogen Gas
(Monitoring & field tuning is required. Recommended to adjust the valve stroke to match the pre -fill
time 8-10 sec).
Transfer Mode:
Once pre-fill mode is complete, GT shall reach 100% High Hydrogen Gas mode in 60 secs
VGC-11 opens from its prefill position & starts ramping up.
The rate of valve opening is controlled by the normal fuel transfer rate.
No steady state point is allowed below 10% stroke of the valve.
Abort transfer & go to 100% liquid Fuel on failure of reaching 100% High Hydrogen Gas mode in
60secs
In this mode GT may operate from FSNL to base load. But to transfer back to Liquid fuel, it shall be
above transfer permissible load as mentioned in control specifications.
The inert purge mode should start automatically as part of transfer off High Hydrogen Gas sequencing
once the appropriate permissive is met. The permissive for this mode include allowable transfer GT
load.
To mitigate risk of load or/ and exhaust temp spike during High hydrogen Gas manifold N2 purge due
to unaccounted fuel being added to the combustor, the HPG2 purge should begin when High Hydrogen
Gas split reaches 10% (FX1=10%) before transfer to Liquid Fuel is complete. Open VAH1-2 valve to
initiate HPG-2 purge. The above plot describes the valve sequencing strategy.
The above diagram shows the fuel system status during inert purge mode during transfer to Liquid
Fuel.
Key Events:
During fuel transfer sequence, open VAH1-2 at high hydrogen gas split (FX1) is at 10% to purge
the High Hydrogen Gas manifold.
Once VGC-11, VSR-11 & VSR-11 are closed, (GT transferred to Liquid Fuel) open VAH-1. (VAH1-
3 is already open to block CPD cavity during High Hydrogen Gas operation)
3 secs after VAH1-1 command, open VA13-15, VA13-22 & VA13-290
Start inert purge timer.
Successful completion of purge is indicated by TMR DP transmitter (1 no.)/switches (2 nos.)
96HPGD’s & 63HPGD’s are more than 5 psid for the duration of the purge (60 secs). If any 2 of 3 TMR
HPGD’s is less than 5 psid for 20 secs, continue purge for 90 secs. Abort purge if still not successful.
N2 supply pressure is monitored by pressure instumentaion96HPG1, 63HPG-1A, 1B. if N2
pressure drops below Low set point, (with the time delay of 3 secs), a TRIP is initiated.
If purge is unsuccessful, the machine is tripped & the unit is locked out. Successful inert purge is
a permissive to restart the unit.
Upon successful purge completion, close VA13-20, VAH1-2, VAH1-3 & VAH13-15 & open VA
13-13 & 13-22 will remain open to keep P1 cavity blocked with N2 & P2 cavity vented.
TRIP EVENT
If unit trips while operating on 100% Liquid Fuel with Hydrogen Gas present or High Hydrogen Gas
mode, trip event is followed by inert purge. If N2 purge fails during trip (as indicated by 96 HPGD<LL
set point) unit is locked out. Successful inert [purge is a permissive to restart the unit.
During any GT trip on High Hydrogen Gas, the closure of VGC-11 should trigger opening of N2 valves
VAH1-1 & VAH1-2 (VAH1-3 is already open to block CPD cavity during high hydrogen gas operation). 3
secs after opening VAH1-1, open valves VA13-20, VA13-22 & VA13-15 to carry out inert purging of high
hydrogen gas manifold, P1 cavities & CPD cavity & vent P2 cavity.
The purge should last 60 secs. If inert purge fails, during restart selection of “FIRE/AUTO/REMOTE”
mode commands from <HM1> screen is inhibited. Only “CRANK” mode can be selected. Once at Crank
speed (>24% speed, L14HM=1) the operator can select “INERT PURGE TEST” push button & a purge of
all the purge legs is performed. This purge test must be successful to allow the operator to select
“FIRE/AUTO/REMOTE” mode commands from <HM1? Screen to continue the startup.
LOAD REJECTION
Fuel nozzle passages on this application are sized such that the GT can achieve a load to FSNL on load
rejection on 100% high hydrogen gas.
Following strategy would be followed for start point & end point of load rejection
Liquid fuel to high hydrogen gas transfer mode-load reject to FSNL liquid fuel operation
100% High Hydrogen Gas operational mode-load reject to FSNL high hydrogen gas operation
Load rejection from liquid fuel is treated similar to original liquid fuel unit. For load rejection event
from 100% high hydrogen gas operation, the strategy is to go to FSNL high hydrogen gas & stay on high
hydrogen gas. After the load rejection event, GT can load back up on High Hydrogen Gas or load to
permissible transfer load & transfer to liquid fuel. If the operator decides to shut down the GT instead
of loading on High Hydrogen Gas or in the event of unit unable to load back or load to permissible
transfer load, the controls should initiate a trip when the turbine speed drops to L14HS=0, 94% speed.
Alternatively, unit can trip instantaneously.
If load rejection happens during a fuel transfer-gas turbine should transfer to 100% liquid fuel mode &
recover speed.
Any of the following events results in immediate closure of the SSOV (VS4-11) & opening of the vent
valve (VA13-20) to remove fuel pressure from the piping cavity between the SSOV (VS$-11) & the stop
speed ratio valve (VSR-11).
Fire detected in the gas turbine enclosure of gas valve module.
E-stop initiated
High-High LEL alarm
Loss if inert gas pressure block in the P1 pressure cavity during back up fuel use when gas fuel
pressure is equal to or greater than 50 psig as sensed by instruments PT-96FG-16A, -16B.
Loss of ventilation in fuel gas module during High Hydrogen GAS operation, sensed by TMR
ventilation pressure switches.
9.3.7.7LCO/Naphtha control
The liquid fuel oil control system consists of fuel handling components & electrical control
components. The fuel handling components are primary fuel oil filter/strainer (low pressure), fuel oil
stop valve VS1-1, fuel pump PF1-1, fuel bypass valve assembly VC3-1, fuel pump pressure relief valve
VR4-1, secondary fuel oil filter F2-1 (high pressure), flow divider FD1, combined selector
valve/pressure gauge assembly, check valves VCK1-1 to 10 & false start drain valves VA17-1, 2 & 5.
The electrical control components are liquid fuel pressure switch (up stream) 63 FL-2, fuel oil stop
valve limit switch 33FL, fuel pump clutch solenoid 20CF, liquid fuel pump bypass valve servo valve
65FP, flow divider speed pickups 77FD-1, 2 & 3.
The fuel stop valve is an emergency valve operated from the protection system of the turbine. This
stop valve is a two-position valve either fully open or fully closed, with a venture disc & valve seat.
When the turbine is shut down in the normal sequence or by emergency trip or over-speed trip
operation, the fuel oil stop valve will fully close within 0.5 seconds total elapsed time. For normal
startup & shut down sequence operation & for electrical trip from the control panel, electro-hydraulic
trip solenoid valve 20FL-1 & hydraulic trip valve VH4-1 shut off the hydraulic oil flow to the fuel oil stop
valve hydraulic cylinder. The spring in the fuel oil stop valve then over comes the oil pressure & closes
the valve.
The main fuel pump is a timing gear, screw type pump which is driven directly from the turbine driven
accessory gear. Its speed is directly proportional to turbine speed. Fuel pump discharge flow at any
given turbine speed is greater than the turbine combustion requirement. The excess fuel is re-
circulated back to the fuel pump inlet through the bypass valve, VC3. The pump has the desirable
feature of having its bearings located externally from fuel. The bearings therefore do not rely on the
fuel oil for lubrication. They are lubricated using sump lubrication for units operating with HSD only &
from external lube oil system fro units operating with Naphtha along with HSD.
Fuel flow to the turbine combustion system is the difference between the fuel pump flow & the bypass
flow. Fuel flow from the fuel pump to the turbine is controlled by modulation of the bypass control
valve position by means of an electro hydraulic servo system in response to a control signal from the
mark-V control panel. The bypass control valve is fitted with a single acting hydraulic cylinder, a return
spring & a servo valve 65FP-1.
VR4, the main fuel pump discharge relief value, is located in a loop between the discharge & inlet of
the pump. The valve prevents the fuel oil pressure from getting high enough to rupture any lines in the
event when the flow divider stops rotating. The relief setting for this valve is specified in the device
summary drawing
The flow divider equally distributes input fuel flow to the individual combustion nozzles. It is a
freewheeling flow device consisting if gear pumps elements in a circular arrangement having a
common inlet with a single timing gear. This timing gear serves to maintain true synchronous speed of
each pumping element with all other elements.
The speed of the flow divider pumping elements is directly proportional to the fuel flow through the
flow divider. The flow divider is fitted with three magnetic pick up assemblies that monitor flow divider
speed & produce the feedback signal in the outer (primary) loop of the fuel system control loop.
A multi position selector valve located at the output of the flow divider facilities monitoring selected
fuel oil pressure values on a 0 to 1500 PSI pressure gauge. The pressures at each of the fuel nozzles &
the fuel pump outlet pressure can be measured.
Spring loaded check valves are located in each line between the flow divider & the fuel nozzles. The
check valves perform two functions:
1. Prevent fuel oil from entering the turbine under the condition where the fuel pump bypass
valve is fully open, the fuel forwarding system is on, & the fuel stop valve either leaks or is open
(regardless of turbine speed or whether the fuel pump clutch is energized or de-energized)
2. Prevent back flow of combustion gases from the combustion chamber through fuel nozzles &
liquid fuel system which would push the fuel oil in the fuel lines back towards the fuel oi l supply. Such
& occurrence would cause problems during subsequent startups on liquid fuel since there would be
very little liquid fuel in the fuel system.
The false start drain valves are normally open spring loaded valves which are closed by compressor
discharge pressure. In the event of an unsuccessful start, fuel oil in the combustion wrapper & exhaust
frame is drained through the false start drain valves. During a normal start up, these valves will close as
the turbine accelerates & compressor discharge pressure increases.
The fuel pump clutch solenoid electrically positions the fuel pump clutch to allow the accessory gear to
drive the feel pump. It operates on “flux through disc” principle with all forces acting within the clutch
itself. The end plate acts as the armature of the magnetic circuit. It automatically takes up for disc wear
eliminating adjustment. The clutch, however, must be locked end wise to the shaft.
Electro-hydraulic valve that controls the position of the fuel pump bypass valve. When the turbine is
shut down or in tripped condition this servo valve is electrically positioned to fully open the bypass
valve. The valve has three independent coils. Each coil is driven by one of the three controllers (R,S & T)
to provide redundancy in the electrical circuit.
These are non-contacting magnetic pickups which generate a pulse signal at a frequency proportional
to flow divider speed which in turn is proportional to fuel flow delivered to the combustion chambers.
This switch monitors the liquid fuel oil inlet pressure to the pump. If fuel pressure falls below the safe
NPSH requirement of the fuel pump for duration of more than five seconds the fuel pump clutch is de -
energized. This protects the fuel pump against damage due to operating with low suction pressure &
also avoids inadvertent trips due to transient reduction in fuel pressure.
Limit switch 33FL-1 indicates the close position of stop valve. An alarm is annunciated if the stop valve
is closed after the start of firing sequence. The control system also checks that the valve is closed at the
initiation of start. On initiation of the firing sequence of the Gas-Turbine during startup the control
system commands the stop valve to open condition.
When the turbine is run on liquid fuel, the control system check the permissive (L4 & L33FL1C) & holds
FSR to zero unless they are “true”. Other permissive come from 63FL & the master protective system
& control the opening & closing of the fuel oil stop valve, energizing the fuel pump clutch (20CF) to
drive the fuel pump.
The FSR signal from the controlling system goes through the fuel splitter on dual fuel machines (see
dual Fuel) & becomes FSR1. The FSR1 signal will be multiplied by speed (TNH), so that fuel flow
becomes a function of speed. This enables the control system to have better fuel control & resolution
at the lower, more critical speeds where the air flow is less. This resultant signal (FQROUT) becomes
the reference for fuel flow. At full speed FOROUT will be equal to FSR.
When the gas turbine is given a start signal the liquid fuel oil system is present in the following state:
The fuel stop valve is shut since 20FL has not energized to open the stop valve. FSR1 (liquid fuel
control voltage) fed in to the fuel control software, is held at zero. This causes the control panel
circuitry to drive the fuel oil bypass valve servo 65FP to a position so that the bypass valve is held at
fully open position.
The flow divider is not rotating as there is no fuel flow; therefore, the speed pickups 77FD-1, -
2, & -3 indicates zero fuel flow to the control system.
The false start drain valves are open until the compressor discharge pressure is high enough to
close the valves.
The liquid fuel oil control system remains in this state until the turbine reaches firing speed. At firing
speed (reached after the starting means has held the gas turbine at cranking speed until the purge
timer K2TV has completed) the liquid fuel system components follow the following sequence:
Solenoid valve 20FL is energized to open the liquid fuel stop valve. The fuel stop valve limit
switch 33FL detects the full open position of the liquid fuel stop valve. This allows the fuel pump clutch
solenoid 20CF to energize. The fuel pump is now engaged to the accessory gear shifts & starts pumping
fuel through the bypass value.
The FSR1 which was clamped to zero is reset to the firing FSR value (this value is detailed in the
Control Specifications). This FSR signal & turbine speed signal TNH combine in a multiplier block in the
liquid fuel flow command algorithm & establish the desired rate of fuel flow in to the turbine (FQROUT)
The increased value of FQROUT results in the liquid fuel bypass valve being commanded to start
closing. This increases the fuel pump discharge pressure. When this pressure has increased to a
pressure high enough to overcome the friction in the flow divider & the check valves cracking pressure,
the fuel will begin to flow into the combustion chambers.
As the fuel starts flowing in to the combustion chambers, the speed sensors 77Fd-1, 2, & 3 send
a signal to the TCQA card which is read as the fuel flow rate signal by the control system. When the fuel
flow rate is equal to the called for fuel flow rate , the servo valve 65FP is moved to the null position &
the liquid fuel bypass valve remains “stationary”
Once flame has been established in the combustion chambers, FSR1 is lowered to the warm-up
level.
During the initial firing of the gas turbine the control software monitors the fuel flow rate in to
the combustion chamber. If a preset flow rate is exceeded for more than two seconds continuously it
will cause the turbine to tri on “EXCESSIVE STARTUP FUEL FLOW”. This protection is disabled after
completion of warm-up time (L2WX).
Upon completion of the warm-up period, the FSR1 is increased to accelerate the turbine to
operating speed. The fuel control system adjusts fuel flow to meet the commanded fuel flow (a
function of FSR1 & TNH). As the turbine is accelerated, the false start drain valve closes due to
increased compressor discharge pressure.
After attaining Full Speed the commanded fuel flow becomes a function of FSr1 only.
When a shutdown command is given FSr1 is slowly ramped down to minimum FSR value & leading to
direction of the turbine. When L14HA speed relay drops out, the liquid fuel system goes into the trip
state, & the liquid fuel stop valve closes. At the same time FSR is reset to zero, the bypass valve servo
65FP is electrically driven to such a position where the hydraulic oil moves the liquid fuel bypass valve
to fully open condition. This tops fuel flow into the turbine so the flow divider wills top rotating as
sensed by the magnetic speed pickups 77FD-1, 2 & 3. As the turbine decelerates further, the false start
drain valves will open. The fuel oil control system will remain in this sate until the turbine is ready to
fire during the next startup.
Turbines that are designed to operate on liquid & gaseous fuel are equipped with controls top
provide the following features:
Transfer from one fuel to the other on command
Allowable time for filling of the type fuel to which turbine operation is being transferred
Mixed fuel operation
Operation of liquid fuel nozzle purge when operating totally on gas fuel
Operation of gas fuel nozzle purge when operating totally on liquid fuel for some frame
sizes The software diagram for the fuel splitter is shown in the fig DFFR-3.
If the unit is running on-liquid & the <I> command pushbutton is pressed to select gas, the
following sequence of events will take place: (refer to Figure DFFR)
FSR 1 will remain at its initial value but FSR2 will step to a value slightly greater than zero.
This will open the gas control valve slightly to bleed down the intervalve volume, P2. This is done in
case a high pressure has been entrapped. The presence of a higher pressure than that required by
the sped ratio controller would cause slow response in initiating gas flow.
After a time delay, typically thirty seconds, to bleed down P2 & fill the gas supply line, tile
software program ramps the fuel commands at a arte programmed as a PROM constant to
complete fuel transfer in thirty seconds.
As the transfer progresses, FSR1 will be reduced & FSR2 will increase at the programmed ramp
rate
When the transfer is complete, a logic signal, L84TG (Total Gas), will disengage the fuel pump
clutch 20CF, close the fuel oil stop valve by deenergizing the liquid fuel dump valve 20FL & initiate
the purge sequence.
Transfer from gas to liquid is essentially the same sequence as previously described except that gas &
liquid fuel commands are interchanged. For instance, at the beginning of a transfer, FSR2 remains at its
initial value, but FSR1 steps to a value slightly greater than zero. This will command a small liquid fuel
flow. If there has been any fuel leakage past the check valves, this will find the liquid fuel piping &
avoid any delay in delivery at the beginning of the FSR1 increase. The rest of the sequence is the same
as liquid-to-gas.
The gas turbine burns natural gas or fuel oil. The fuel purge system supplies air to the inactive fuel
nozzles to prevent fuel accumulation & combustion back flow in the associated gas turbine fuel piping.
When burning natural gas, the fuel purge system supplies purging air to the fuel oil passage of dual fuel
nozzles. When burning oil the fuel purge system supplies purging air to the gas turbine natural gas
manifold.
When transfer from gas to liquid is completed, gas fuel system purge valves VA 13-1 & -2 are opened
by energizing 20PG-1 & 20PG-2. The signal to energize 20PG-1 & -2 also closes gas vent solenoid valve
20VG-2 to prevent venting of the volume between the purge valves. Limit switches 33PG-1 & -2 on the
purge valves indicate that the valves are closed & permit transfer from liquid to gas when both purge
valves are closed & the intervolume pressure switch 63PG-1 indicates low pressure. Limit switches
33PG-2 & -4 indicate that the purge valves are open & used to determine valve fault.
To prevent chocking of the liquid fuel nozzles while operating oil gas fuel, some atomizing air is
diverted through the liquid fuel nozzles. See fig DFFR-2. The following sequence of events occurs when
transfer from liquid to gas is complete. The atomizing air bypass valve VA18 is opened by energizing
20AA. This results in a purge pressure ratio across the compressor of 1.1. After a time delay which
permits reaching steady state purge compressor ratio, purge valve VA 19-1 is then transferred
because of the energizing of solenoid valve 20PL-1. This results in a flow of air through the liquid fuel
nozzles. The time delay is needed to reduce the load spike which occurs when purge air displaces the
liquid fuel nozzle into the combustion chamber.
Units may be operated on a mixture of liquid & gas fuel is permitted. Operation on a selected mixture
is obtained by electing the mix command push button & setting the command set point FX1_CMD to
the desired liquid fuel fraction. Limits on the fuel mixture are required to insure proper fuel
combustion, gas fuel distribution, gas nozzle flow velocities. Percentage of gas flow must b increased as
load is decreased to maintain the minimum pressure ratio.
As stated before FSR is divided into two signals to provide dual fuel operation. The two signals are FSR1
& FSR2. Typically FSR1 is for liquid & FSR2 for gas. See figure DFFR-3. FSR is multiplied by the desired
fuel mix ratio, FX1 to produce an FSR1 signal. FSR1 is then subtracted from the FSR signal to give FSR2;
that becomes the control signal for the secondary fuel.
Once the unit has been synchronized either manually or automatically it can be loaded by several
loading sequences. For instance, a unit can be loaded manually or automatically up to a temp control
limit, or a output load limit. Units operating under isochronous control will accept existing load or be
limited by temp control. More detail on the actual control panel features are described in the
operation section.
9.3.7.9.2. Synchronizing
Automatic synchronizing is accomplished sing a microprocessor based synchronizing circuit. The circuit
inputs are transmitted through an interface module. Te interface module contains an isolation
transformer for the generator & line input signals & the breaker closing relay. The synchronizing
software is part of the SPEEDTRONIC mark V control system.
For synchronizing, the unit is brought to 100.3% of rated speed. If the system frequency has varied
enough to cause an unacceptably high slip frequency a speed matching circuit in the synchronizer will
adjust the turbine governor to reduce the slip frequency & permit synchronizing. For added protection
a synchro check relay is provided. It is used in series with both the auto synchronizing relay & the
manual breaker close switch to prevent large out-of-phase breaker closures.
The reason that “Full Speed, No load” adjustment is important is that it actually calibrates speed with
the called for speed using the digital set point. The 100.3% will cause an increase in fuel command
necessary to raise the speed 0.3% above synchronous grid frequency. It is essential that the generator
& system frequency be matched within 0.33Hz to synchronize quickly with the synchronizing relay.
“Full Speed-No-Load” therefore is an important setting to assure proper speed for synchronizing.
Speed load control increases fuel through the digital set point to maintain output value. Most units
have three values of output control: reference to the control specifications for settings is required.
a. Spinning reserve- once the generator breaker is closed, the turbine will load to this setting.
b. Preselected Load- the required load is first selected by inputting the data on the main screen,
then by selecting the PRESELECT option on the main display; the load is varied to the preselected load.
c. Load limit- this load is not selectable, but is a calculated load limit beyond which the unit is not
permitted to operate. It is normally the material limit for the gas turbine generator.
9.3.7.9.4.1. Manual mode
The operator may increase or decrease load using switches 70R4/CS between no-load & base temp
control line. The loading is accomplished by raising or lowering the digital set point.
9.3.7.9.4.2. Isochronous mode
In this control mode the unit output is a function of system demand. When selected, this control
mode maintains a constant speed.
9.3.7.9.4.3. Temperature control
Temp control is initiated by the switch 43bp. In this mode of control load is increased automatically
until a temp control limit is reached. Load is then held at a constant firing temp as more fully described
in the temp control text. Turbine output in this mode of control is a function of ambient temp.
Note: Manual load control is provided for full convenient rapid adjustment of load. It is not intended
to be used to raise load to rated output without interruption. Frequent use of manual set point
control to reach rate load more rapidly than the automatic cycle can reduce hot gas path parts life.
Similarly excessive use of “Fast start” can also reduce hot gas path parts life.
The water injection control system provides the necessary flow of water to the gas turbine
combustion system for the following reasons:
In order to meet the current statutory regulations w.r.t. limiting the quantum of the
emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust stream.
On some units is used for power augmentation.
Certain regulations not only require meeting the emission levels, but also require the continuous
monitoring of exhaust gas composition to verify that the regulations are being met. The major portion
of the water injection system is located on an off-base skid (shown in the System Schematic). The
system schedules water flow to the turbine combustors as a function of total fuel flow and, if required,
ambient temperature. The required water to fuel ratio must be established through the field
compliance test of each unit as per the current statutory regulations. The final control schedule is
calculated in <RST> controller software algorithms.
Electric motor-driven centrifugal water pump(s) 88WN(s). The pump(s) is protected from low
water pressure by pressure switches 63WN-1 & 2, located in the pump suction and discharge
respectively.
A five-micron filter at the pump discharge to prevent foreign object contamination of control
devices and water injection nozzles.
Flow meter FM1 which provides electrical feedback signals proportional to water flow to the
gas turbine control system.
Water injection system stop valve VS2- 1, controlled by solenoid operated valve 20WN- 1.
The water injection control valve VC4-l and its actuator are controlled by direct digital pulses
from controllers RST. This assembly controls the flow of water to the water injection manifold on the
gas turbine. LVDT 96WN provides position feedback in order to assure valve position accuracy and
used as a backup feedback to flow measurement in case flow meter is bypassed for maintenance.
Injection manifold on turbine base and water injection nozzles which distribute an even flow of
water to the combustors over the required flow range. The manifold distributes the flow equally to the
flow proportioning valves VWP1-l to VWP1-10. These valves provide a high flow resistance at low flows
in order to evenly distribute the water flow at start-up and low flows.
Controllers RST position the control valve actuator for required water flow. In case of continuous
monitoring of exhaust emissions it is possible for a few successive oneminute data points to fall below
the required water-to-fuel ratio without causing a noncompliance condition over the sixty minute
averaging interval. In such a case, a local alarm will alert the operator so that corrective action may be
taken to prevent a non-compliance situation from occurring. A combustion monitor function in the
control panel will detect any abnormal operation of the water injection system which may extinguish
the flame in one or more combustion cans. The monitor will give a combustion alarm upon detection
of an abnormal exhaust temperature pattern. Controller software contains constants which will detect
loss of feedback from the flow meter and control valve LVDT, respectively. Loss of either feedback path
is annunciated on the turbine control panel.
Several water system alarm and shutoff conditions are detected by the controllers <RST>.
A “WATER SYSTEM TROUBLE” signal is annunciated on the turbine control panel if problems in
the feedback or fuel flow measurement circuits are detected.
A “WATER SYSTEM SHUTDOWN” signal and trip of the water injection system occur due to any
of the following conditions:
1. Low water injection pump suction or discharge pressure, as sensed by pressure switches 63WN
2. Fuel flow to the turbine is cut back very rapidly. This is observed by sensing the rate of
decrease in FSR, and the water is shut off in order to prevent flameout in any of the combustors.
3. Combustion alarm generated from the combustion monitor function.
Each of the above trip conditions will trip the water injection system only if the condition exists for
duration more than a set time period (Refer Control Specifications for Values). This prevents water
injection system trips due to transient conditions.
GBC consist of FG inlet Flow control valve (HV7201) and the SOV operated Anti surge Control valve
(UV7201). During start up, HV7201 is at 0% opening while anti surge valve is at 100% opening. During
normal running the GBC outlet discharge pressure is the regulating parameter. The actual discharge
header pressure (PT7205A/B – ½ logic) output signal is compensate with Actual suction flow measured
through FT7201A/B (1/2 Logic) and same is compared with operator flow SP in FIC7201B. The error
signal will regulate the position of anti surge valve (UV7201). Inlet flow CV HV7201 is manually
operated to ensure that FE7201 measured the minimum flow. At low value of FE7201, GBC will trip.
In Lube oil system of GBC, drive list consist of 2 nos of Motor driven Lube oil pump. Any one Lube oil
pump is started and standby is kept in ACO mode. ACO selected LOP will start in Auto if lube oil
pressure of header reduce to XX Kg/cm2 g through PT7312D
Primary seal gas is nothing but sealing of GBC LP and HP gland through the same process gas. The
tapping of Gas is taken from both inlet and outlet header of GBC. Even Nitrogen is also connected to
the seal gas header. Normally during startup as no discharge is available, seal gas is normally taken
from GBC inlet FG line or from nitrogen header. In normal running condition, the GBC discharge is
lineup for sealing. Seal gas filter skid is equipped with one control valve PDCV7003, which get an input
from 2 differential pressure transmitter PDT7003A/B. These differential transmitters sense the
pressure from HP and LP side gland and compared the same with the Operator SP in PDIC7003 PI
controller. The output of the controller is command to operate the PDCV7003 control valve.
Controller action is reverse.
Steam Turbine is one the most critical high speed rotating device which required to be controlled
through very precise controlling mechanism, said Governor. Governor includes EHTC control block,
Servo motor / Mechanism, Amplifier, Control valve mechanism. Governing scheme equipment details
for STG are mentioned as below
The Turbo Generator set is equipped with Electro-hydraulic governing system. The governing system is
simple and easy to operate and maintain. The Electro hydraulic governor maintains the speed of turbo-
generator set constant according to the droop characteristic. Simultaneously the extraction steam
pressures in two extraction lines are also maintained by the governing system. Additionally Turbine
governing system incorporates protective device to protect the turbine during adverse operating
conditions such as over-speed, rotor axial shift, low lubricating oil pressure etc. For control purpose
single casing condensing turbine with two controlled extractions has been divided internally with
steam glands in three parts, namely
HP part (0001)
IP part (0002)
LP Part (0003)
In each part of the turbine steam flow is regulated by a set of steam control valves (0801, 0802A&B &
0803A&B).The amount of opening of each valve is controlled by the hydraulic signal (secondary oil
pressure) generated by speed governor and extraction pressure controllers through I/H converter.
Speed governor acts in such a way that the change in amount of steam flow through HP,IP& LP parts
of turbine is same. This does not affect the steam flow through extractions.
Extraction pressure controller-I acts in such a way that upon decrease in extraction pressure-I, HP
control valves open more and IP & LP control valves move in close direction. Valve movements through
changes in secondary oil pressures are designed such that the increase in power in HP part of
the turbine is equal to the decrease in power in IP& LP part of turbine. This arrangement does not
affect the total power developed by the turbine. Similarly, upon increase in extraction pressure-I, HP
control valves move in close direction and IP & LP control valves move in open direction. On the similar
lines, extraction pressure controller-II acts in such a way that upon decrease in extraction pressure -II,
HP&IP control valves open more and LP control valve move in close direction. Valve movements
through change in secondary oil pressure is designed such that the increase in power in HP&IP parts of
the turbine is equal to decrease in power in LP part of the turbine. This arrangement does not affect
the total power developed by the turbine. Similarly upon increase in extraction pressure, HP&IP control
valves move in close direction and LP control valves move in open direction. Output of speed governor
and extraction pressure controller is coordinated in ratio module in electronic governor.
The Electro-hydraulic turbine controller is designed to control the speed, electrical power and
extraction pressure. The following functional/control loops are incorporated in the controller:
-Speed acquisition
-Speed reference
-Speed controller
-Extraction pressure (I&II) control
-Binary emergency stop valve control
-Interlock functions
-Power supply.
For details of electronic control system refer EHTC block diagram.
ELECTROHYDRAULC CONVERTERS (1800A, B & C): The Electro-hydraulic converters are connecting link
between electronic and hydraulic parts of Electro-hydraulic governing system. The output signal of
electronic governor is fed to the torque motor of Electro-hydraulic converter (I/H). Torque motor
positions the control slide, which in turn builds up the secondary oil pressure proportional to the
signal. This secondary oil pressure is transmitted to the control valve actuator.
EMERGENCY STOP VALVE (2301) AND SOLENOID VALVES (2220, 2221A&B): The emergency stop valve
(2301) is of quick closing type. ESV consists of a spring-loaded piston and a piston disk, which is
connected to the valve cone through a spindle. The emergency stop valve is actuated by means of
solenoid valves (2220, 2221A&B) and a control circuit built in the electronic control cubicle. The logic
and interlocking part permits the sequential opening and closing of emergency stop valve only when
the control valve (0801) of the turbine is closed. When solenoid valves are energized, the start-up oil
pressure builds up. The pistons of emergency stop valve actuator compress the spring and forms oil
tight with the piston disk. Pressure transmitter PT (3404) initiate the signal and through the logic de-
energizes the solenoid valve (2220) thereby trip oil pressure builds up below the piston disc. Next
solenoid valve (2221A&B) is de-energized upon initiation of PT (3406), the oil in the space above the
piston of emergency stop valve (2301) is allowed to pass to the drain via orifice (5610). The resulting
pressure difference across the piston and the piston disk causes the piston with piston disk to be
moved to the opening end position with the spring compressed. The end position is indicated by means
of signal lamp. Upon complete opening of ESV (2301), solenoid valve (2221A&B) is de energized and
ESV (2301) opens. The opening and closing speeds of emergency stop valves can be set accurately with
the aid of adjustable orifices (5610) in the oil drain lines of the solenoid valves.
CONTROL VALVE ACTUATORS (SERVOMOTORS) (1910, 1911 A & B & 1912): Control valve actuators
(1910, 1911A&B & 1912A&B) position the control valves (0801, 0802A&B, 0803A&B) corresponding to
the effective secondary oil pressures generated by hydraulic amplifier. Control valve actuator
(Servomotor) mainly consists of a pilot valve; a power cylinder and a feed back system. Upon change in
secondary oil pressure, pilot valve provides oil passages to and from power cylinder. The movement of
power piston is transmitted to the control valves through levers. The feed back lever resets the pilot
valve to its neutral position once the power piston occupies new position corresponding to changed
secondary oil pressure. The system is such that the increase in secondary oil pressure causes the
control valves to open. Hence interruption of secondary oil pressure causes the control valves to close.
DAMPING DEVICE (5620): Damping device (5620) damps out the quick oscillations in secondary oil
pressure generated by hydraulic amplifier; this helps in improving the stability of the governing system
TESTER (2309) FOR EMERGENCY STOP VALVE: Testing device (2309) is provided to check the proper
functioning of emergency stop valve (2301) during normal operation of turbine. If the testing device is
operated, it will admit the pressure oil to the space behind the test piston of emergency stop valve,
which will then be pushed against the piston and move the piston and valve spindle towards the closed
position (partial closing).
REMOTE ENGAGEMENT OF HAND TRIP VALVE: Hand trip valve (2250) can be put into operation
remotely with the help of a control switch, i.e. a pressure transmitter (PT 3407) and a solenoid valve
(1050). As soon as control switch is pressed, solenoid valve (1050) gets energized and oil flows into
hand trip valve (2250) and reset the trip lever. Soon after trip oil pressure is built up, solenoid valve
gets de-energized through the pressure transmitter (PT 3407).
HAND TRIP VALVE (2250): Whenever the turbine is to be tripped, the governing oil pressure (trip oil
line after hand operated valve) is drained by hand trip valve. Thus pressure in front of stop valve
piston disc and secondary oil pressure falls, resulting in closure of stop valve and control valves. The
hand trip valve (2250) is operated either manually or by loss of source oil pressure
NON RETURN EXTRACTION STEAM VALVE (2350A&B): In the extraction steam line, non-return quick
closing flap valve has been provided, which prevents reverse flow of steam into the turbine. Also at
turbine trip, its actuator, which in turn acts at the loss of trip oil pressure, closes non-return valve,
change over valve (5400A&B) helps in quick draining of oil from non-return valve actuator.
TRIP SOLENOID VALVE (2222): Trip solenoid valve facilitates the tripping of turbine from remote place
such as control room through push button. Whenever the solenoid valve is energized, it interrupts the
oil supply to trip oil circuit and simultaneously de-pressurizes the trip oil circuit. Solenoid valve is also
energized by any one of the signals initiated by limit value monitoring devices or upon generator faults
DUPLEX FILTER (4520): The Duplex filter with 225 lpm 20 micron filtration is consist of filter head with
change over valve and two filter bowls which are removable for maintenance. The change over
mechanism facilitates redirection of fluid stream from the dirty to clean filter housing without
reduction in flow. The arrangement also provided with a maintenance indicator, which monitors the
degree of clogging of the filter elements. Arrows indicate which filter bowl is in operation. Closing of
both filter bowls simultaneously not possible
GOVERNING CONTROLS:
Turbine governing system is capable of meeting HP and MP extraction steam demands at constant
pressure while generating desired electricity. This is achieved with the help of HP and MP extraction
pressure control system. The HP extraction pressure control system work similarly in the following way;
PT3112A/B sense the HP steam extraction pressure (Process value) and give feed back to EHTC
governor. This process value is compared with extraction pressure set point register in extraction
pressure summer unit. (Extraction pressure set point register output can be varied from operator
control panel through raise/lower push button). Error signal from extraction pressure summer unit is
transmitted to a Minimum value selector. Second input to Minimum selector unit is from HP extraction
limiter controller. (HP Extraction limiter output can be varied from operator control panel though
raise/lower push button). Minimum value out of two is selected as output signal for HP extraction
controller O/P. Similar logic is applicable for MP extraction system as well.
2. SPEED/LOAD CONTROL:
Turbine can be operated either on speed control mode or on load control mode. When operating
independently (When machine is not connected with utility), STG will work on speed corrector control
mode. Speed Reference setter block gives signal to speed reference time dependent which is having a
selection switch for Cold, warn and hot start curves. Input to the Speed reference setter block is
manual selection of speed set point, Auto run selection or through speed synchronizer raise lower
button. Output of Speed ref. time dependent block comes to Speed controller as one of the input
speed signal. Proximity sensor provided for speed measurement provides the actual speed of the
turbine to Speed controller. Difference between the speed set point and actual speed is directed to a
summation block. Second input to the summation block is signal from the load controller. In load
controller Actual load is compared with Load reference time dependent block signal. Input to the load
ref. time dependent block is output from Minimum selector block which is having the input for Load
limit set by operator and Load reference from synchronizer. Another input to load controller is
Frequency controller signal. Input to frequency controller is error signal from actual frequency to
reference frequency set by operator.
As long as the load set point is higher than the speed error signal, whenever turbine speed goes below
the set point, speed raise action will be active on governor control valves. Whenever load set point is
lower than the speed error signal, turbine governor will not be able to pick up the speed to the set
point value when speed of the turbine decreases. Then load set point has to be increased to maximum
to activate turbine speed control.
Finally for the position of all Control valve, Main as well Extraction control valves, the HP/MP valve
ratio setter block is provided which get input from minimum block selector having input from Load and
speed controller along with the HP and MP extraction controller output signal. HP/MP valve ratio setter
block provide analog signal to I/H governor after considering valve characteristics compensation.
Inlet steam pressure limiter has been configured for our turbine. If the inlet steam pressure drops
below the set point, inlet steam pressure limiter will restrict the opening of control valve. While doing
so, normal speed and load of the turbine will also be maintained unless the inlet steam pressure drops
further to below the set point. If the inlet steam pressure further decreases, priority will be shifted to
maintaining inlet steam pressure sacrificing turbine speed/load.
In Lube oil system of STG, drive list consist of one Motor driven Aux Lube oil pump, Steam drive driven
MLOP and one DC drive driven EOP pump. In addition to this there are Jacking oil pump and barring
motor drive. During start up normally based on the availability of steam or power, either ALOP or
MLOP is started. Simaltenuosuly start JOP. Healthy signal of JOP is start permissive for
barring motor starting. Start barring motor and put STG on barring mode. ALOP and EOP to kept in
ACO mode of operation to start on AUTO mode. ALOP and EOP will start if the Lube oil pressure fall
below 4.2 and 0.8 Kg/cm2 g through PT3206 and PT3214A respectively.
Control of Aux steam is applicable only in Gland sealing where the pressure at inlet of HP and LP gland
of STG to be maintained in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 Kg/cm2 g. Aux steam at a pressure of 11 bar a and
350 :C enter the STG inlet. The main control valve PCV3131A and the drain control valve PCV3131B is
used to maintain the STG gland steam pressure. The action of both control valves are in direct and
reverse respectively. Normally the main control valve is in 0% position while the drain control valve is
in 100% opening. When the Operator provide the set point the error signal between SP and actual
valve is generated from PI controller which command main control valve to open and simultaneously
command drain control valve to close.
The function of Hotwell level controller is to maintained the Hotwell level through two control valves
action; one in direct control mode while one in reverse control mode. Direct control mode CV is the
CV (LCV1601A) which discharges the STG condensate to Deaerator while reverse control mode CV
(LC1601B) recirculates the condensate back to Hotwell. Level transmitter signal from LT1601 is
compared with the Operator SP given in LIC PI controller. The error signal is split for both the control
valve. Normally the main control valve is in 0% position while the drain control valve is in 100%
opening. When the Operator provide the set point the error signal between SP and actual valve is
generated from PI controller which command main control valve to open and simultaneously
command drain control valve to close thus maintaining the hotwell level in condenser.
The Back pressure turbine is equipped with Electro-hydraulic governing system. The system offers the
advantages of electronic methods for measurement and signal processing and use of hydraulic devices
for control of large positioning drives. The advantages of this combination are better integration
capability, high quality steady state and dynamic response and facility for implementation of
complicated functions. The signal processing, control function and interlocks are incorporated in the
electronic control cubicle, which is placed in the control room. An Electro-hydraulic converter provides
the link between electronic section and the hydraulic section. The other features of BPTG governing
systems are a quick closing stop valve, over speed protection, rotor axial motion protection, manual
trip, remote solenoid trip and remote engagement of trip lever.
SPEED CONTROL: The speed transmitters sense the turbine speed digitally and feed the actual speed
signal to speed controller. The speed controller can be programmed for droop mode or isochronous
mode depending on requirements. The speed controller gives output signal to Electro-hydraulic
converters through ratio modules. The Electro-hydraulic converters convert the electrical signal into
hydraulic signal (secondary oil pressure).
OIL SUPPLY TO THE GOVERNING SYSTEM: The supply of oil to the governing system is at 8 bar from the
main oil pump which is driven by electrical motor.
ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER: The speed transmitters (SE3901 A,B&C) sense the turbine speed digitally
and feed the actual speed signal to speed controller. The speed controller can be programmed for
droop mode or isochronous mode depending on requirements. The speed controller gives output
signal to Electro-hydraulic converter (1800). The Electro-hydraulic converters convert the electrical
signal into hydraulic signal (secondary oil pressure).
ELECTROHYDRAULIC CONVERTORS (1800): The output signal of the electronic governor is converted
into a proportional signal pressure (secondary oil pressure) in the converter (1800). The converter
consists of an electrical amplifier, an Electro-hydraulic converter and a hydraulic pressure sensor which
feeds the hydraulic output signal back to the input of the electrical amplifier.
CONTROL VALVE ACTUATORS (1910): Control valve actuators (1910 & 1911) position the control valves
(0801) corresponding to the secondary oil pressures generated by hydraulic amplifier. Control valve
actuator (Servomotor) mainly consists of a pilot valve, a power cylinder and a feed back system. Upon
change in secondary oil pressure, pilot valve provides oil passages to and from power cylinder. The
movement of power piston is transmitted to the control valves through levers. The feed back lever
resets the pilot valve to its neutral position once the power piston occupies new position
corresponding to changed secondary oil pressure. The system is such that the increase in secondary oil
pressure causes the control valves to open. Hence interruption of secondary oil pressure causes the
control valves to close.
EMERGENCY STOP VALVE (2301) AND SOLENOID VALVES (2220 2221): The emergency stop valve (2301)
is of quick closing type. The valve is actuated by means of a starting device. The stop valve consists of a
spring-loaded piston and piston disc, which is connected to the valve cone through a spindle. The
emergency stop valve is actuated by means of solenoid valves (2220, 2221) and a control circuit built in
the electronic control cubicle. The logic and interlocking part permits the opening of emergency stop
valve only when the control valve (0801) of the turbine is closed. When solenoid valves are energized,
the start-up oil pressure builds up. The piston of emergency stop valve actuator compresses the spring
and forms oil tight joint with the piston disk. Pressure transmitter PT(3903) initiates the signal and
through the logic de-energizes the solenoid valve (2220) thereby trip oil pressure builds up below the
piston disc. As soon as the solenoid valve (2221) is de-energized upon initiation of PT (3904), the oil in
the space above the piston of emergency stop valve is allowed to pass to the drain via orifices
(5610A&B). The resulting pressure difference across the piston and the piston disk causes the piston
with piston disk to be moved to the opening end position with the spring
compressed. The end position is indicated by means of signal lamp. The opening and closing speeds of
emergency stop valve can be set accurately with the aid of adjustable orifices (5610A&B) in the oil
drain lines of the solenoid valves.
START PERMISSIVE TO GOVERNOR: Once the stop valve is opened, the limit switch (ZAH 3902) on the
stop valve sends a signal to the governor through the interlock logic for permitting it to give the signal
to open the control valves.
TESTER (2309) FOR EMERGENCY STOP VALVE: Testing device (2309) is provided to check the proper
functioning of emergency stop valve (2301) during normal operation of turbine. If the testing device is
operated, it will admit the pressure oil to the space behind the test piston of emergency stop valve,
which will then be pushed against the piston and move the piston and valve spindle towards the closed
position (partial closing).
REMOTE ENGAGEMENT OF HAND TRIP VALVE: Hand trip valve (2250) can be put into operation
remotely with the help of a control switch, i.e. a pressure transmitter (PT 3905) and a solenoid valve
(1050). As soon as control switch is pressed, solenoid valve (1050) gets energized and oil flows into
hand trip valve (2250) and reset the trip lever. Soon after trip oil pressure is built up, solenoid valve
gets de-energized through the pressure transmitter (PT 3905).
HAND TRIP VALVE (2250): Whenever the turbine is to be tripped, the governing oil pressure (trip oil
line after hand operated valve) is drained by hand trip valve. Thus pressure in front of stop valve
piston disc and secondary oil pressure falls, resulting in closure of stop valve and control valves. The
hand trip valve (2250) is operated either manually or by loss of source oil pressure.
DAMPING DEVICE (5620): Damping device (5620) damps out the quick oscillations in secondary oil
pressure generated by hydraulic amplifier. This helps in improving the stability of the governing
system.
SOLENOID VALVE (2222): Solenoid valves (2222), when energized one of them or both, interrupts the
oil supply to trip oil circuit and simultaneously depressurizes the trip oil circuit, thereby tripping the
turbine. Solenoid valve can be energized from control room with the push buttons or by trip logic in
association with limit value monitoring circuit
DUPLEX FILTER (4520): The Duplex filter with 225 lpm 20 micron filtration is consist of filter head with
change over valve and two filter bowls which are removable for maintenance. The change over
mechanism facilitates redirection of fluid stream from the dirty to clean filter housing without
reduction in flow. The arrangement also provided with a maintenance indicator, which monitors the
degree of clogging of the filter elements. Arrows indicate which filter bowl is in operation. Closing of
both filter bowls simultaneously not possible
GOVERNING CONTROLS:
BPTG governing system is capable of meeting LP exhaust (back pressure) steam demands while
generating desired electricity. In back pressure controller, PT3607A/B sense the LP steam header
pressure (Process value) and give feed back to EHTC governor. This process value is compared with
back pressure set point register in back pressure controller. Reference back pressure input to controller
is from back pressure reference time dependent block which in turn get input from manual raise/lower
push button. Output of back pressure controller is feed to Min value selector which in turn generate
analog signal for I/H governor.
2. SPEED/LOAD CONTROL:
BPTG can be operated either on speed control mode or on back pressure control mode. When
operating independently (When machine is not connected with utility), STG will work on speed
corrector control mode. Speed Reference setter block gives signal to speed reference time dependent
which is having a selection switch for Cold, warn and hot start curves. Input to the Speed reference
setter block is manual selection of speed set point, Auto run selection or through speed synchronizer
raise lower button. Output of Speed ref. time dependent block comes to Speed controller as one of the
input speed signal. Proximity sensor provided for speed measurement provides the actual speed of the
turbine to Speed controller. Difference between the speed set point and actual speed is directed to a
summation block. Second input to the summation block is signal from the load controller. In load
controller Actual load is compared with Load reference time dependent block signal. Input to the load
ref. time dependent block is output from Minimum selector block which is having the input for Load
limit set by operator and Load reference from synchronizer. Another input to load controller is
Frequency controller signal. Input to frequency controller is error signal from actual frequency to
reference frequency set by operator.
As long as the load set point is higher than the speed error signal, whenever turbine speed goes below
the set point, speed raise action will be active on governor control valves. Whenever load set point is
lower than the speed error signal, turbine governor will not be able to pick up the speed to the set
point value when speed of the turbine decreases. Then load set point has to be increased to maximum
to activate turbine speed control.
Finally for the position of all Control valve, Main as well Extraction control valves, the HP/MP valve
ratio setter block is provided which get input from minimum block selector having input from Load and
speed controller along with the HP and MP extraction controller output signal. HP/MP valve ratio
setter block provide analog signal to I/H governor after considering valve characteristics compensation.
Inlet steam pressure limiter has been configured for our turbine. If the inlet steam pressure drops
below the set point, inlet steam pressure limiter will restrict the opening of control valve. While doing
so, normal speed and load of the turbine will also be maintained unless the inlet steam pressure drops
further to below the set point. If the inlet steam pressure further decreases, priority will be shifted to
maintaining inlet steam pressure sacrificing turbine speed/load.
Cooling water system in CPP consist of Main Cooling tower with 6 cells (5W+1S), Main Cooling water

Cooling tower forebay consist of Level Transmitter (10-LT4767). The makeup water coming as Raw
water from Refinery to Cold water channel / Forebay of CPP cooling tower is having ON/OFF type SOV
(10-UV4777). On Normal level signal from Level transmitter, the Makeup Line SOV open and on High
level it closed.
Main cooling water pumps for STG (575-P-VT-552/554) and Side Stream Filter Pumps (10-P-VT-
563/565) operating Logics are as below:
a. Pump Selection for Auto Change over (ACO) and A/M mode of Operation
b. Start permissive for Pumps are:
e. Normalizing the common discharge header pressure (10-PT4705) command discharge MOV
of running pump to open fully (100%)
f. Low discharge header pressure result to ACO of CWP (if selected)
CT fan Trips due to Low Low Gear Box Lube oil level and on vibration high high. Flow to Condenser is
measure in the return header through Flow Element (10-FE4739). Cooling tower is facilitated with CT
Overflow provision by draining it to Storm water drain. CT cooling water can also be drain to storm
water system through drain pump (01 nos., 575-P-00-567). Cooling tower is also equipped with online
analyzer for monitoring the cooling water parameter like HC and H2S along with the pH analyzer
installed in discharge common header to Condenser.

Side stream filter arrangement installed is used to remove dirt from the cooling water. SSF pumps
(02 nos., 2 X 100%) are installed to pump the cooling water to Side stream filters (575-SSF-00-
568A/B, 2 X 100%) with having Air blowers (575-P-00-569A/B, 2 X 100%). Drain from the side stream
filters are diverted to Storm water while the clean cooling water is return back to Forebay. The
capacity of SSF is 3% of Circulation water capacity.
Auxiliary cooling water system for CPP consist of ACW cooling water pumps (03 nos., 2W+1S, 575-P-
VT-572B/573B/574B) and distribution header for ACW supply to CPP Auxiliaries. ACW system is
backed up by the FRP cooling water system which is used only during Black out for GT start up. FRP
Cooling water system consist of Single FRP cooling tower cell with Fan (01 nos., 575-P-00-580B) and
FRP cooling water Pump (01 nos., 575-P-00-582B). Refer P&ID no. 0-038101-00936-S01/02.
ACW cooling water Pumps are vertically mounted in same forebay of Cooling Tower. ACW pump
discharge common header is divided into 04 major areas which are:
a. ACW to Cooling water pump area for GB, Turbo drive and gland seal cooling
b. ACW to STG and BPTG Auxiliaries along with LP drain pump and Sample coolers for UBs
c. ACW to all Boiler Feed pumps, Blow down pumps sealing and cooling
d. ACW to GT and HRSG auxiliaries including GBC, Air compressor and HP nitrogen compressors.
e. ACW blow down to RO plant (Refinery) and ACW as alternative of Service water for all UB and
HRSG boilers CBD vessel steam inching
ACW supply header to GT consists of ON/OFF SOV (10-UV4827). The SOV normally remain in open
condition but will get closed on sensing Black out condition from ECS. A direct signal is incorporate to
cut the supply of ACW to GT area. This is done because after blackout is sensed, the ACW pump will
be tripped condition and FRP cooling tower Pumps and fan is used to charge the ACW system for GT
start up. The supply for FRP cooling tower fan and pumps are from Black start DG set. This ensures
that during Black out, FRP cooling tower system provide necessary ACW for any one GT start up. Once
plant get normalized and ACW pump started and header get charged, SOV can be energized to Open
to ensure ACW from ACW pumps and thus stopping the FRP cooling water system.
e. Normalizing the common discharge header pressure (10-PT4805) command discharge MOV of
running pump to open fully (100%)
f. ACW pump ACO on low discharge header pressure (10-PT4805)
ACW is blow down to RO plant return header (Refinery) through Flow control valve (10-FCV4815)
which get the command from Flow element (10-FE4807) installed in Blow down header to RO plant
(upstream of FCV).
FRP cooling Tower basin make up is coming from raw water supply coming from Refinery (tapped
before Main cooling tower make SOV (10-UV4777). FRP cooling Tower basin consists of two no. of
Level transmitter (10-LT4871 and 10-LT4870). Level transmitter (10-LT4781) is used to command
ON/OFF SOV installed in raw water make up line to FRP cooling tower while another level transmitter
(10-LT4870) is used to Trip the FRP cooling water pump on low low level.
b. IA and PA for CPP operation i.e. 30 min operation of one survive UB during Black out
Operation.
In order to meet the first requirements Atomizing Air compressor is used to provide the Atomizing Air
for NAPHTHA/LCO fuel atomization in HRSG and UB boilers. CPP is equipped with dedicated Atomizing
Air compressor (03 nos., 03 X 50%, Centrifugal type, Disch. Pr.: 7 Kg/cm2 g, 4600 Nm3/hr). The
Discharge
of the Atomizing air compressor is collected into Receiver (Capacity 20 m3). From the receiver the
Atomizing air is directly supplied to each UB and HRSG B/L with a pressure drop of 1 Kg/cm2 g as
consider.
In order to cater the second demand, from the Atomizing air supply header to UB and HRSG a tapping
of 2” is taken for Plant Air utilization in CPP. This will cater the need of Plant air demand during
blackout condition. From the Atomizing air compressor reciver tank, a connection for Air booster
Compressor (01 nos., Reciprocating type, 500 Nm3/hr @ 30 Kg/cm2 g) is taken. This air booster
compressor sucked the pressurized air at 7 Kg/cm2 g and discharge at 30 Kg/cm2 g. The discharge
header from the Air booster compressor fills 03 nos. of receiver tank each of capacity 22 m3. Out of
03 nos. of receiver tank, 02 nos. are used to stored the Pressurized atomizing air at 30 kg/cm2 g. This
stored atomizing air will be used only during Black out condition for 01 nos. of survive UB Boiler
operation demand. Necessary NRV is kept in the supply header to Atomizing air to UB to ensure that
no reverse flow occur during black out. The Atomizing air from both the receiver are combined and
then pass through Self regulating pre-set Pressure reducing Control valve (PVRV) thus reducing the
atomizing air pressure from 30 Kg/cm2 g back to 7 Kg/cm2 g.
Another 01 receiver which received Air from Air booster compressor is used to cater the IA demand of
CPP during black out or non availability of IA from Refinery. Atomizing Air stored in the receiver is first
passes through self regulation de-Pressure station (PVRV) which reduces the pressure to 7 Kg/cm2 g.
The atomizing then diverted to Air Drier which removes moisture and thus converts atomizing air to
Instrument air. This instrument air is then again passes through self regulated de-pressurized station
(PVRV) to meet exact IA pressure demand. The IA from this system is than connected to main IA
supply header of CPP through appropriate NRV installed near tapped off. Also Main IA supply header
of CPP consists of NRV at B/L which avoid IA back to IA header of refinery during refinery black out
condition.
Blow Down system of CPP comprises of Blow down vessels for each Boilers, STGs, BPTG and Deaerator
/ LP heaters/BFP DT, blow down collecting Pits, Blow down Transfer pumps from Pit to Boiler BD
transfer header to Refinery RO Plant. Refer P&ID no. 2-381-01-00862-S01/S02/S03/S04 and 0-24-400-
80706
Blow down from each Boiler is collected in respective boiler CBD and IBD vessel. CBD being given from
steam drum having High Pressure steam, in CBD vessel the high temperature saturated water/steam
get flashed from which the steam get collected on CBD vessel top and taken out by diverted back to
Deaerator as LP steam. The Flash condensate in CBD vessel is diverted to IBD vessel through Level
control valve (06/07/08/09-LCV1901) for UBs and (04/05-SPT1818) for HRSGs which get command
from Level transmitter (06/07/08/09-LT1902) for UBs and (04/05-LT8160) installed on CBD vessel. IBD
vessel is Open to atmosphere. Other Boiler Steam and water circuit header drain are also diverted to
IBD vessel. A Provision of service water / CT Blow down water are provided in IBD vessel for quick
Quenching of flash condensate. The rate at which the quench water enter IBD depends upon the level
inside IBD vessel which is sensed by Level Transmitter (06/07/08/09-LT1906) for UBs and (04/05-
LTXXXX) which operate the Temperature Control valve (06/07/08/09-TCV1908) installed in supply
header to each IBD vessel.
The cool condensate i.e. Blow down from IBD is forwarded to UB # 1 and 2, UB # 3 and 4 and HRSG
Blow down Pit respectively through gravity having siphon arrangement. The Blow down collected in
each pit is pumped by Blow down transfer pumps (02 X 100%) for each tank to Main blow down
transfer pit.
Similarly drains from STG # 1, STG # 2, BPTG and LP heater/BFP DT/Deaerator are routed to their
respective flash vessel. Each Flash vessel is provided with quick quenching arrangement as mentioned
above for UBs. Drain from STG # 1, STG # 2 and BPTG flash vessel are commonly routed to STG blow
down pit from where the Blow down transfer pump, pumped the BD to Main blow down pit. While
the drain from LP heater/BFP DT/Deaerator is directly routed to Main blow down pit. All CPP boiler
and steam blow down are finally collected in Main Blow down pit from where the Main Blow down
pit transfer pumps, pushes the BD to Refinery RO plant.
All blow down transfer pumps (575-P-CF-351A/B for HRSG pit, 575-P-CF-352A/B for UB # 1 and 2 pit,
575-P-CF-353A/B for UB # 3 and 4 pit, 575-P-CF-354A/B for STG pit and 575-P-CF-355A/B for Main BD
pit, 2 X 100% each) Operating Logics are as below:
a. Pump Selection for Auto Change over (ACO) and A/M mode of Operation
b. Each Blow down pit consist of 02 nos. of BD transfer pumps (1W+1S)
c. Pump start/stop in AUTO and Operator has a facility of select the master and slave pump.
d. Master selected Pump start on High level signal from level transmitter (10-
LT1921/1926/1931/1936/1956). It remains in operation till the level inside the pit reaches to Low level
with is sense by same transmitter as mentioned above. On reaching the low level, the AUTO started
master pump stop and remain in active state for next cycle.
e. During the operation of master pump, if in any abnormal case (say the pump trips) than on
sensing the trip signal the slave pump started if kept in AUTO mode. It will run till level reached to Low
value as sense by same trasnmitter. On reaching the low level, the slave pump stop and now act as
master pump for next cycle operation until interface by Operator.
f. During normal operation if the level inside the pit keeps on increases even after master pump
in operation, than after level high high the slave pump will also start. The slave pump will stop only
when level inside the pit reaches Low low value while the master pump stop on level low value as
sense by the above mentioned transmitter.
Nitrogen coming from Refinery is bone dry type. Nitrogen for HP nitrogen is tapped from Nitrogen
supply header for CPP. Two no. of Gas booster compressors (2 X 100%) compressed the nitrogen from
7 Kg/cm2 g to 40.5 Kg/cm2 g and stored in 4 nos. of receiver tank in parallel operation each of
capacity of 25 m3. The HP Nitrogen is than depressurized in a set of self regulating Pressure reducing
valve (04 nos. in parallel) for each GT supply header. The set of each PVRV are being monitored by
checking the downstream header pressure to GT. The depressurized HP nitrogen is than passed to GT
area which is then connected to FG supply header inside GT B/L.
The Design basis for the HP nitrogen system is that both the Gas Turbine will run on Fuel gas. Quantity
of HP nitrogen system is consider keeping in mind that during normal operation of GT on fuel gas at
any instant of time, only one GT will trip. Tripping of both GT is considered as a remote possibility,
hence not considered during design stage of HP nitrogen system. Also the trip of GT is consider to
infrequent and hence for design basis of HP nitrogen system one trip per week for GT is considered.
Based on the above basis the maximum quantity required of HP nitrogen is 160 Sm3. These include
the Total Quantity of Nitrogen required during normal operation of GT, Trip purging of one GT, False
start purging of tripped GT, Nitrogen required during changeover from Liquid to Gas and at the same
movement second running GT trips which sums up to 160 Sm3. Refer Sizing criteria Document no.
PEMC – 1955 for detail calculation. The control of HP nitrogen system is from Local Control panel
mounted PLC with signal indication to DCS for monitoring through MODBUS communication. Refer
P&ID no. 2-38101-00875-S01/S02/S03
Fuel gas (FG) / Refinery Gas (RG) received from Refinery to CPP B/L. Flow element (FE-6801) measure
the inlet quantity of FG from Refinery to CPP. FG inside the CPP gets distributed for GT area, UB area
and HRSG area as a separate header. Before the distribution at the inlet of FG Main supply header
installed an ON/OFF type SOV (ESD 6802). This valve will be operated during Long Shutdown of FG
system or Emergency of complete CPP and will be done by Operator from DCS. Refer P&ID no. 1-
38101-03142-S01 to S09
FG supply to GT consist of Gas scrubbers and Gas Booster compressor which are common to both the
GTs, FG Filtration and separation skid i.e. Gas conditioning skid which is separate for both GTs, and
common system like Nitrogen supply header for FG header purging and Flare system . FG to GTGs can
be stopped by closing the Main supply header ON/OFF type SOV (ESD 6804). FG for GT first enters in
to Gas scrubbers (V-11/12, 2 nos., 2 X 50%). Gas scrubber also commonly known as Knock out drum
(KOD) consist of Level transmitters (03 nos. in each KOD vessel, LT6805A/B/C and LT6814A/B/C), Flare
header supply SOV (BDV6810/6811), FG KOD condensate Level control valve (LCV6805/6814) and 02
nos of Flare safety valve (FSV) (FSV6808A/B and FSV6809A/B).
GT FG KOD condensate level is maintained by Level control valve which operates on ON/OFF SOV
installed on top to Open and close operation during level high and level low signal from Level
transmitter (1oo2 for each KOD). Level high high in any of KOD result into closing of Main FG supply
header ESD (ESD 6804) and ESD installed in FG supply header to GT # 1 and 2 (ESD 6832 and ESD 6848
respectively) and Opening of Flare header SOV in supply header to GT # 1 and 2 (BDV 6833 and 6849
respectively). FSV are connected to common flare header going to FG condensate tank. FG from FG
scrubber combine and inlet to GBC (02 nos., 2 X 50%) where the Pressure of FG get boosted from 10
Kg/cm2 g @ 40-60 :C to 20-24 Kg/cm2 g @ 120 – 145 :C. Inlet common header gets split into separate
branch for each GBC. One GBC is capable to deliver the FG for only one GT full load operation. From
GBC the FG gets separated for GT # 1 and 2.
In each GT supply line after GBC, FG filtration and separator skids (V-12/13 and V-15/16, 02 nos. each,
2 X 100%) are installed which further removes the condensate from pressurized and high temperature
FG before entering into GT Burners. Each Filtration and separation skid consists of Filter and separator
chamber with drain collecting vessel for each. Filter chamber is installed with FSV (FSV6819A/6820A
and FSV6837A/6838A) and Separator chamber consist of FSV (FSV6819B/6820B and FSV6837B/6838B)
along with ON/OFF operated SOV (BDV6829/6830 and 6839/6840) for Flaring the FG to flare header
inside CPP. Each drain collector vessel consist of Level transmitter
FG from the each skid for each GT enter to FG supply header in which one ESD valve (ESD6832/6848)
is installed with SOV and one ESD valve (ESD/BDV6833/6849) is installed in FG flare header branch
from supply header. On any fire signal from GTG area through Mark VI will result in Opening of Flare
BDV and closing of Supply header ESD in order to stop the further FG supply to GTG. After this another
BDV valve with SOV operated (SOV6869/6870) is installed which operate as per the Nitrogen Purge
Logic command from Mark VI. FG than passes through Flow element (FE6831/6847) before entering
into GT B/L. Nitrogen and Flare system are connected to the GT FG supply system at required location
for respective Purging and Flaring process.
FG supply to UB consist of Gas scrubbers (02 nos., 2 X 50%, each capable to delivery full load FG
quantity for 02 nos. of UB, Pressure regulating station for each Utility Boilers and common system like
Nitrogen supply header for FG header purging and Flare system . FG to UB can be stopped by closing
the Main supply header ON/OFF type SOV (ESD6862). FG for UB first bifurcated in to Gas scrubbers (V-
18/19) which each consist of Level transmitters (03 nos., LT6863A/B/C and LT6863D/E/F), Flare
header supply SOV (BDV6868A/B), FG KOD condensate Level control valve (LCV6863A/D) and 02 nos
of Flare safety valve (FSV) (FSV6869A/B/C/D).
UB FG KOD condensate level is maintained by Level control valve which operates on ON/OFF SOV
installed on top to Open and close operation during level high and level low signal from Level
transmitter (1oo2 for each KOD). FSV are connected to common flare header going to FG condensate
tank. FG from scrubber combines and then separated to FG supply header for each UB. For each UB
there is Pressure control station which consists of 02 nos. of each 100% capacity Pressure control
valve (PCV6870A/B, 6871A/B, 6872A/B, 6873A/B) and 01 nos of 30% Pressure control valve
(PCV6870C, 6871C, 6872C, 6873C) all in parallel operation. Each control valve get command from the
downstream pressure transmitter (PT6870/6871/6872/6873). Operation from 30% to 100% and vice
versa is done as per the demand of FG on each UB. FG thereafter enters to individual Boiler B/L.
FG supply to HRSG consist of Gas scrubbers (01 nos., 1 X 100%, capable to delivery full load FG
quantity for both HRSGs, Pressure regulating station for each HRSG and common system like Nitrogen
supply header for FG header purging and Flare system . FG to HRSG can be stopped by closing the
Main supply header ON/OFF type SOV (ESD6852). FG to HRSG first bifurcated in to Gas scrubbers (V-
17) which consist of Level transmitters (03 nos., LT6854A/B/C), Flare header supply SOV (BDV6859),
FG KOD condensate Level control valve (LCV6854) and 02 nos of Flare safety valve (FSV) (FSV6853A/B).
HRSG FG KOD condensate level is maintained by Level control valve which operates on ON/OFF SOV
installed on top to Open and close operation during level high and level low signal from Level
transmitter (1oo2 for each KOD). FSV are connected to common flare header going to FG condensate
tank. FG from scrubber then separated to FG supply header for each HRSG. For each HRSG there is
Pressure control station which consists of 01 nos. of 100% capacity Pressure control valve (PCV6860A,
6886A) and 01 nos of 30% Pressure control valve (PCV6860B, 6886B) in parallel operation. Each
control valve gets command from the downstream pressure transmitter (PT6861/6887). Operation
from 30% to 100% and vice versa is done as per the demand of FG on each HRSG. FG thereafter enters
to individual Boiler B/L.
All FG related Offbase system drains are collected into the above mentioned drain tanks. From which
the submersible pump immersed in each tanks pump the drain to CPP common slope header, which
in turn divert all the drain to Refinery slope header including FG condensate drain from CPP. Also all
the flares collected from each drain tank are diverted to Refinery Flare Header.
In FG drain tank near GBC area, FG drain from main supply header in CPP along with GTGs Gas
scrubbers and GBC drain and flare are connected. While in FG drain tank for GT # 1 area, all drain from
UBs internal along with UB scrubber drain and Flare, HRSG scrubber drain and flare, HRSG # 1 drain,
GT # 1 supply header drain and flare along with GT # 1 filtration skid drain and flare are connected. For
FG drain tank for GT # 2, GT # 2 filtration skid drain and vent, GT # 2 supply header flare, HRSG # 2
drain are connected. Submersible pump installed in each drain tank pumped the FG condensate to
CPP common slope header which in turn connected to Refinery Slope header which divert slope to
Refinery dry slope tank. While all flare in each drain tank are connected to a common header which in
turn connect to Refinery Flare header.
FG drain tank submersible Pumps (PM-524A/B, PM-525A/B, PM-526A/B) Operating Logics are as
below:
g. Pump Selection for Auto Change over (ACO) and A/M mode of Operation
h. Each FG drain tank consist (02 nos.,1W+1S)
i. Pump start stop in AUTO and Operator has a facility of select the master and slave pump.
j. Master selected Pump start on High level signal from level transmitter (LT6875/6881/6884). It
remains in operation till the level inside the tank reaches to Low level with is sense by same
transmitter as mentioned above. On reaching the low level, the AUTO started master pump stop and
remain in active state for next cycle.
k. During the operation of master pump, if in any abnormal case, the pump trips than on sensing
the trip signal the slave pump started in kept in AUTO mode. It will run till level reached to Low value
as sense by same trasnmitter. On reaching the low level, the slave pump stop and now act as master
pump for next cycle operation until interface by Operator.
l. During normal operation if the level inside the tank keeps on increases even after master
pump in operation, than after level high high the slave pump will also start. The slave pump will stop
only when level inside the tank reaches Low low value while the master pump stop on level low value
as sense by the above mentioned transmitter.
All Interlock and control related to LCO fuel supply system are part of DCS controls. Also all PSVs

CHAPTER - 11
HAZARD, SAFETY AND COMMUNICATION
11.1 INTRODUCTION
Safety of personnel and equipment is very important. Ignorance of the details of the unit or the
techniques of safe and efficient operation reduces the margin of safety of personnel and subjects the
equipment to more hazardous conditions. All the operating and maintenance crew therefore must be
fully familiar with the equipment and materials being handled in the unit, and recognize the hazards
involved in handling them and the measures taken to ensure safe operations.
Since the unit handles with one of the most potential source of fire and explosion, Fuel Gas, HSD,
LCO, LPG, and chemical like Ammonia, Hydrazine, Tri Sodium Phosphate, Vanadium corrosion
inhibitor and of course STEAM handling therefore adherence of safety rules should be given uphill
importance.
The zones in which the operator is working must be maintained clean and clear because areas and
environments in disorder favor the accidents.
All maintenance activities mu st be performed after the equipment shut -down and without voltage.
The people not directly involved in the activities must not enter in the working area. The repairing on
electrical/control panels must be carried out without voltage and with emergency pushbutton
inserted. The people not directly involved in the activities must not enter in the working area.
Before the equipment start-up all electrical/control panels, safety devices, guards must be
restored as at the beginning. Don't put objects or tools so as not to block the view of the zones and of
the safety devices.
Extraneous and/ or inexperienced people must not enter in the hazardous zones. The activities of set-
up and tuning to be performed with the equipment in operation must be carried out by skilled
personnel.
A. Safety helmets and shoes shall be worn by all personnel at all times in the plant. They may
be removed when inside rooms or buildings which do not have overhead or other hazards.
B. Smoking shall be permitted only in specified areas which are declared as non-hazardous and
are pressurized through a ventilation system. Failure of the ventilation system automatically
cancels the smoking privilege until the system is repaired, inspected and authorized
operation.
C. Each employees assigned to work in the unit shall know where the safety and fire suppression
equipment is located and how to operate this equipment.
D. Safety glasses, goggles or face shields shall be worn while performing work which could result
in eye or face injury.
E. PVC suits, gloves, gum shoes to be used wherever applicable.
F. Safety belt & full body harness to be used wherever applicable for working at height.
G. Operations personnel golden rule
H. The GGSR APM should be consulted as needed for details on safety policies and procedures.
Do not open or close any valve without first determining the effect.
Note: - Treat each piece of equipment or piping as if it is under pressure.
During fuel gas backup in the unit, all the vents should be kept closed.
Liquid draining should not be left unattended. Any leak during start up leads to fire.
Therefore
Before gas back up, withdraw all the hot / fire permits.
This paragraph draws-up a list of hazards related to the operation of a steam generator.
The fluid (water and/or steam) contained inside of the pressure parts of a steam g enerator, has
pressure values higher than the atmospheric pressure.
The opening of vent/drain valves must be carried out with caution verifying that:
For these reasons verify the state of anchors and/or supports of the safety valves discharge piping;
furthermore verify also:
The discharge piping of safety accessories are free of obstructions
No blockage is present in drainages of this piping
To verify the operation of valves, safety valves and for the maintenance activities to be carried out
periodically refer to the instructi ons of the boiler auxiliary equipment manufacturers.
In the case of searching a leakage in the system, it is very important to remind that the superheated
steam is invisible. A superheated steam leakage is only visible at a certain distance from the actual
point of escape. Pay attention not to walk through the steam blow (invisible and at high velocity)
when searching the leak since it can cause grave burns
The leaks of saturated steam are dangerous but their detection is easier, since the plume is visible at
the point of escape. Each zone of steam leakage must be inaccessible for the people not involved in
the repairing until the work has been completed.
To allow the internal inspection of pressure equipment, suitable openings are provided to enable the
entrance inside to proceed with the necessary inspections in safe conditions.
Before to proceeding for inspection it is necessary to verify that the equipm ent has been
depressurized in addition to the precautions listed below.
In CPP our major concern for Boilers /HRSG it will be necessary to inspect the conditions of the
internal surfaces of the combustion chamber and the flue gas ducts.
Never enter into a vessel, in particular into a steam drum, if any water and steam valves are
open. Be sure that the drain and continuous blow down valves are closed; there is the
possibility that steam and hot water go up to steam drum by means of the draining pipes.
Before entering any vessel, each piece of piping will need to be isolated away from the
vessel via a blind or blank.
Never enter into a "confined space" if it is not cold, purged from toxic or combustible gas;
the vessel must be flushed in an appropriate way paying attention that the access door
remain open. It is recommended that a "buddy system" is used when entering in a confined
space. This means that there is always a person outside the confined space while someone
is inside. If a trouble occurs, the outside person must take any action to get the inside
person out of the confined space.
By means of a portable oxygen meter it shall be verified that the oxygen content is
sufficient to allow the entering of the personnel. In order to assure that, during the
inspection/works, safe working conditions are maintained repeat this check periodically.
Inside a confined space use low voltage electrical power and with correct earthling. The
lights have to be of explosion proof type .
Never use, inside confined spaces, toxic fluids.
Chemical Compounds
To assure a suitable protection against corrosion feed water and boiler water are properly added of
chemical additives.
Chemicals compound, if not correctly handled, can be dangerous for personnel safety.
For the correct use and handling refer to the safety data sheets of each product sent by the supplier
along with the products themselves.
It is forbidden to mix chemicals of different type; u se clean containers and without residuals. The use
of glasses, gloves and aprons will be integral part of the operating procedures prepared by plant
manager.
Specific procedures for the containment of the eventual leakage and for its removing will be prepared
for each product.
Potential dangerous substances and material are:
Tri-sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) [1 ] Source: Chemical dosing skid
Nitrogen is not toxic, but may be dangerous for the personnel if it substitute the oxygen. For this
reason it will be necessary to ventilate the plant parts purged with N2 before the personnel entering.
Breathing Hazards
Avoid breathing Hydrazine vapor. When handling these substances, ensure there is adequate
ventilation in the area. Carefully follow the manufacturer's user instructions.
Inhalation of tri-sodium phosphate may cause sore throat, coughing and shortness of breath.
Ingestion of tri-sodium phosphate could result in symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea. In
all instances, move the victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Inhalation of Ammonia causes respiration disturbance, in higher concentration severe problem
may occur.
Avoid breathing Nitrogen, because it will not allow respiration.
Here below are listed the actions that must be undertaken in case of use of typical chemicals, as
Hydrazine, Ammonia and Tri-sodium phosphate.
Hydrazine, usually used as oxygen scavenger, is corrosive to the eyes and skin. Wear goggles;
face shield and rubber gloves when handling this substance. In case of contact, immediately
flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove contaminated
clothing and wash before re-use. Do not take internally. Keep the container closed when not in
useand away from heat, potential sparks and open flames.
Tri-sodium phosphate, usually injected in the steam drum, in case of contact with the skin will
cause inflammation. Contact with the skin causes inflammation andpain. Gloves and goggles
must be worn. If there is contact with the skin, remove contaminated clothing and flush the
skin with water. For contact with the eyes, flush with large volumes of water and, if necessary,
seek medical attention.
Ammonia, Exposure to high levels of ammonia can cause irritation and serious burns on the
skin and in the mouth, throat, lungs, and eyes. At very high levels, ammonia can even cause
death. Lung damage and death may occur after exposure to very high concentrations of
ammonia. Some people with asthma may be more sensitive to breathing ammonia than
others. Swallowing concentrated solutions of ammonia can cause burns in your mouth, throat,
and stomach. Splashing ammonia into your eyes can cause burns and even blindness.
Mg based vanadium corrosion inhibitor, used in gas turbines to control vanadium. Avoid skin
& eye contact. Wash contaminated area with soap and water.
The most common hazard around the steam generator is the high temperatures of the system. To
minimize the risk of burns it is recommended to wear Long pants, shirts with long sleeves and Leather
works gloves etc. Keep in mind that some of the equipment will retain heat for an extended time after
the plant is shut-down.
Plant manager will prepare dedicated procedures to make inaccessible, temporarily, the high
temperature equipment occasionally without insulation that are present in working areas. As example
it is possible to remind the areas in which are present:
Valves or pipes with insulation removed for maintenance
Any casing hot spots should be barricaded.
Even if from a process point of view the insulation of some hot equipment and piping may not
be required or not economically justified, the insulation is necessary for personnel protection
in particular in those areas where more frequently the presence of the operators is requested.
It is necessary to check very well the integrity of the insulation and carried out the periodic
maintenance in order to maintain its efficiency in the time.
It is important to remind that a damaged insulation is more dangerous than a lacking insulation
because deceptively it makes to believe to the operators they are protected.
Hot Burns
Although an accidental contact with hot metal surfaces is not expected because insulation is widely
used in the boiler, if an unprotected contact with the skin happens provide to wash with cold water
for a minimum of 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. If a steam leak is
suspected, great care must be taken during investigation as the steam will not be visible and cause
severe injury if in contact with unprotected skin. Suitable protective overalls,
gloves, facemask must be worn to protect against possible contact. Contact with steam will require
immediate medical attention.
Access for inspection of the boiler steam drums and flue stack is via ladders, which necessitate
caution during use.
Care must be taken by personnel who might be working in the vicinity of the Forced Draft Fan drive
shafts.
Coupling guards must not be removed unless the relevant fan has been electrically isolated. Any oil
leaks that may occur from the Forced Draft Fans, Boiler Feed Water Pumps or any other equipment
relevant to Boilers, must be cleaned-up as soon as possible, to obviate the possibility of persons losing
their footing. Good housekeeping is to be maintained at all times.
Hearing Damage
In Boilers area, there are normally in operations Forced Draft Fans, Burners and Boiler Feed Water
Pumps. When the noise level exceeds 85 dBA attention must be given to prevailing Health and Safety
Legislation, to limit the exposure of plant operating personnel to the noise. The usual approach is to
control exposure time to the noise or to adopt opportune dev ices to reduce the emitted sound. It is
understood that when the sound pressure level in the working area is:
Lower than 70 dB (A) No particular measure is necessary
Higher than 70 dB (A) Protection measure against noise must be supplied to personnel
permanently working in the plant.
Lower than 85 dB (A) No particular measurement is foreseen for occasional visitors staying in
the plant for a short period.
Higher than 85 dB(A) The plant must be classified as a noise hazardous area and therefore a
permanent visible warning must be installed at each entrance to alert the personnel entering
the plant, even for a short period, about the need to wear ear protections.
Higher than 105 dB (A) Special ear protections adequate for this noise level and spectral
composition shall be provided and a special warning shall be placed at each entrance.It is
essential to make sure that the noise propagated does not create too high noise level in the
surrounding environment.
MECHANICAL HAZARDS
Rotating Machinery
During the use of the machines always refer to the relevant instruction manuals. It is
recommended:
Check frequently the correct installation of safety devices like guards etc.
Never operate on moving parts
Never carry out any maintenance activity if the equipment is not in safe conditions.
The operating personnel must wear adequate accident -prevention clothes (helmet, gloves
etc.). The clothes must not have fluttering parts that can get entangled in moving parts.
Abnormal vibration and/or overheating must be immediately notified and the machine has to
be put out of service for check and /or repairing.
Electrical Hazards
And “Cold” work. The “Hot” work permit must include as a minimum, a precise description and
mode of execution of “Hot” works, the equipment to be used, the expected time which “Hot”
works is scheduled to start and expected completion, an exact location of the “Hot “ works and
precautions to be taken.
Unit areas are generally identified as hazardous areas as far as the threat of fire is concerned.
Therefore, in order to carryout works within these areas, a written work permit is required. The
work permit, when approved, indicates that a specific work can be carried out in safe conditions
provided that all safety precautions are observed.
Hot work.
Confined space entry.
Radiation source work.
Vehicle /Equipment entry.
Work on equipment in service.
Fresh air equipment in Hazardous service.
b) Permits for Cold-Work
Permits for cold-work are required for any work not involving the use of a local ignition source.
Typical examples of cold-work are:
Disconnecting of lines for the insertion of blinds etc. − Opening of any equipment such as
vessels, filters, etc.
Electrical work.
Excavation work.(Manual)
Entry permits are required for entering enclosed spaces such as vessels, sewer, pits, trenches, etc.
The use of any tool or machinery, which could provide a source of ignition, is forbidden. Also, prior
to entry it should be ensured that area is well ventilated and the oxygen content in air is about 21%
by volume. Fresh air flow is to be ensured in the enclosed space throughout the duration of work.
A gas test for H2S and flammable gases should also be performed before entry.
A person should also be on alert outside the enclosed space for rescue in case of emergency.
Procedure for carrying out work and rescue plan shall be formulated before commencement of
work.
The equipment item, on which works have to be carried out, shall be clearly indicated. During
the shutdown of any system, permits covering the whole section with above mentioned item
shall be issued, if possible. The type of work permitted shall be clearlyindicated.

The date and the period of validity of the permit shall also be indicated. If the work does not
yet over within the period of validity of the permit, the permit can be extended provided
that, at each start of the works the safety conditions are checked again and signed by the
operator in-charge and by safety officer. Beyond this extended period, a next permit will have
to be issued. The explosiveness test and the check of toxic gases shall be performed always at
the last moment before each start of the work and subsequently every time the work is
resumed or whenever doubts arise.
The validity of the permit can be cancelled at any moment by the operator or by safety
officer; in case they deem that the conditions are not safe.
The conditions to be complied with shall include special precautions, such as the use of
protective clothing, breathing apparatus, safety equipment and the tools to be used etc.
No one shall be allowed to enter the vessel or other enclosed spaces without suitable
protective clothing and until the vessels or the enclosed spaces become safe for entry by
means of proper isolation, proper ventilation and suitable check of the atmosphere inside
and availability of rescue person outside the enclosed equipment.
For any kind of work availability of Escape Route to be checked as it is most important thing in
case of emergency situation.
In addition of what foreseen by the provisions of the law regard safety the following safety kits have
to be available on site:
Eyes washer: Even if small quantities of chemical enter in the eyes, they must be washed
immediately with a lot of water at least for 15 minutes.
Safety shower : In the area where the chemicals are handled, an easily accessible shower
must be present.
First Aid Kit: If some small injury happen, then first aid kit is present at proper location.
Safety inspections: Verify periodically that all safety equipments are always in good
conditions. Signs indicating their operation must be placed near each water source and
shower.
The most significant potential environmental hazard from Boilers is the release of gas from the fuel
gas lines. Waste management during routine maintenance and shutdowns is another potential hazard
to be considered.

Remove patient to fresh air and allow to rest. If patient is unconscious and breathing, place them in the coma
position, check airway and observe. If patient is not breathing, clear airway and apply mouth to mouth
resuscitation. If patient is not breathing and does not have a pulse, commence cardio pulmonary resuscitation.
Seek urgent medical attention.
Advice to doctor -Treat symptomatically.
g. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/explosionhazard-
Evacuate area, remove ignition sources.
Cut off gas supply if safe to do so - do not endanger life.
Do not extinguish fire - allow gas to burn out.
Use water to keep vessel(s) cool.
Note: If ignition has occurred and water is not available, the tank metal may weaken from the heat and may result
in an explosion.The area should be evacuated immediately. From a safe location, notify emergency services.
Combustion products- Carbon dioxide, water vapour, traces of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.
Fumes, smoke, carbon monoxide and aldehydes can be formed during incomplete combustion. Fire fighters may
need self contained breathing apparatus.
j. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

FIRE FIGHTING FACILITIES
15.1 INTRODUCTION
Fire hydrant system consists of an Outer peripheral ring header which has 8 different input output
connection at different location. A 24” ring header on the outer peripheral of CPP unit forms a
ring header type of arrangement to which from 8 different locations, a header is connected for
input and output of fire hydrant from refinery.
Internal fire hydrant distribution is also a closed loop type. A tapping off from the main ring
header is taken at various suitable locations around the critical area like Fuel tankages area, Boiler
area, Gas turbine area, Transformer area and reconnected back to the ring header forming a
closed loop cycle. Necessary Butterfly valve, Gate valves, Air release valve, Water monitor, water
cum foam monitor, T strainers, Globe valves, Hose reel box, Deluge valve housing, Foam inlet
breeching connection, Hose reel are provided at suitable location.
The operating personnel should be fully conversant with Fire Fighting system provided in the unit.
All of them should have adequate fire fighting training and will serve as an auxiliary Fire Squad in
the event of a fire breakout. It will be the primary responsibility of unit personnel to fight the fire at
the very initial stage and, at the least, localize it.
Major Fire fighting facilities provided in the unit comprise the following:
A. Fire Water System
Water is most important fire fighting medium. Water is used for fire extinguishment, control,
equipment cooling & exposure protection of equipment/personnel from heat radiation. Fire
network must be ready in all respect to avoid any hazard. An elaborate fire water distribution
network is provided around unit. Fire Water Hydrants/Monitors are provided around unit, which
give coverage to most of equipment.
B. Foam System
For containing large Hydrocarbon fires, foam systems are useful. They have inherent blanketing
ability, heat resistance and security against burn back. Low expansion foam is used for
hydrocarbon oil fire. Foam can be applied over burning oil pool with the help of foam
tenders/foam delivery system.
Each HSD, Naphtha and LCO tank in CPP is provided with Foam system arrangement. A foam
tender from Refinery fire station need to be connected to have foaming inside the tank during the
case of fire. Each tank is provided with separate spray and foam nozzle connection with are
extended outside the tank dyke area. Refer HSD,Naphtha and LCO tank GA drawings in details for
arrangement of foam system for HSD/LCO/Naphtha tankages in CPP.
C. Portable Fire Extinguishers
Fire should be killed at the incipient stage. Portable fire extinguishers are very useful in fighting
small fires. All extinguishers in the unit must be located in specified places only. The operating
crew should be acquainted with exact location of the extinguishers. They also must know most
suitable type, which, when and how to use an extinguisher. For example, electrical fires should be
put out with CO2 or dry powder extinguishers; water and foam should not be used. The used
extinguishers should be checked and restored by fire station personnel.
D. Fire Signal
Break Glasses have been provided at strategic locations of unit to see fire alarm in fire station. If a
fire is sighted, glass of window should be smashed, causing fire alarm switch to actuate. This is an
emergency call & should be periodically tested for proper functioning.
E. Steam Smothering
LP Steam hose connections have been provided at every convenient point inside unit. Steam
lances of standard 15M length can be fitted with these hose stations. Where ever hydrocarbon

leakage is detected which is likely to catch fire, Steam blanketing may be done. Apart from diluting
combustible hydrocarbons, steam prevents atmospheric oxygen from taking part in combustion,
thus help in extinguishing fire. However, steam should never be applied on large pool of
hydrocarbon fire. Direct application of steam on burning oil may result in spillage of burning
hydrocarbon & spread of fire. Similarly use of fire water on hot oil surfaces may cause sputtering &
spread of fire.
Carbon dioxide Cylinder have been provided at strategic locations in CPP(GTGs, STGs, SS-10
Substation). electrical fires should be put out with CO2 or dry powder extinguisher. In GTGs, STGs
Fire detector is already installed inside compartment and generator, if fire is sighted Carbon
dioxide Cylinder releases Carbon dioxide automatically. In SS -10 Substation Carbon dioxide
Cylinder has been kept to extinguish the fire.
Eye and face protection: - Safety glasses, goggles or face shields shall be worn
while performing work, which could result in eye or face injury.
Hand Protection: - Proper hand protective gloves should be worn.
Foot protection: - Safety shoes are to be worn for foot protection.
Ear protection: - Whenever personnel are required to be work in noisy areas proper ear

CPP is catering the continuous un-interrupted steam and power demand of Refinery. In addition to
steam and power, CPP also provide the Boiler Feed Water (BFW) to refinery for their waste heat
recovery boilers. Details of the each Utility with demand and the detail consequence due to
abnormality in any of the Utility are explained in details as below:
STEAM:
Steam inside CPP is consumed at various units at various levels. The steam from CPP to refinery is
classified based on the Pressure rating and it is broadly divided into 3 Levels, which are:
HP steam
MP steam
LP steam
Refer the Battery limit condition of all Utilities from CPP to Refinery at other units B/L. It also
mentioned the Max and Min state as well as design state condition of pressure and temperature. This
upper and lower range is of utmost important for complete CPP process, because based on this the set
point is given to the controller to maintain the HP, MP and LP header pressure at all refinery load
irrespective on any condition. This is also a one of the most important KPI for CPP Operation team.

Any deviation will definitely lead to either process disturbance, Plant disturbance and even may lead
to critical Turbine drives tripping on low and high HP header pressure.
Details of steam consumption at each level is very important to be know before going into the
discussion of their consequence.

Notes :
Two soot blowers operating in one unit at any one time each consuming 4.5 T/Hr of MP
steam is considered
50 % of steam generation considered
Two soot blowers steam requirements are considered in continuous normal operation.
Notes :
5. Snuffing steam requirement for heaters
6. Winterizing steam requirement.
Here the details are provided with 6 different cases consider during the design stage for CPP. This will
help to identify the maximum demand of steam at each level during various conditions. Base on the
above the final consumption details for 9 MMTPA refinery productions are mentioned below:
Total Steam Requirements
Case Description HP MP LP Total
steam steam steam steam
TPH TPH TPH TPH
All units operating normally (excluding
Case-I 217.0 353.0 88.0 658.0
CPP)
Block shut down of VGOHDT, DHT, HGU &
Case-II FCC 67.0 294.0 21.0 382.0
Looking into the details in above mentioned tables as well as previous tables, it was found that during
tripping or force shutting down the various units will result in requirement of Intermediate steam. The
Intermediate steam requirement is over and above the steam requirement of Units. Many Units like
HGU, FCCU, SRU, MS block are also generating the steam at different level through their waste heat
recovery boilers. Tripping of that unit will result into increase in steam demand to CPP.
Major consequences which lead to Outgoing stream abnormality are mentioned in brief as below:
Details cases of Tripping of one or more critical units inside CPP and their consequence of steam and
power demand as well as mitigation plan to avoid complete refinery is discuss and freeze in “LOAD
SHEDDING SCHEME (LSS)”. Refer Below mentioned attached which summarized the cases of CPP
equipment tripping viz a viz shortfall of steam and power and their consequence which results into
tripping of individual unit or part load shedding of unit to avoid complete refinery tripping.
The major havoc occurs because on outgoing Utilities disturbance from CPP are summarized as below:
Tripping of critical drives inside ISBL unit due to High and low Header pressure of steam
Tripping of critical drives inside ISBL unit due to high back pressure on exhaust side of TD unit
of critical drives
Tripping of steam generating unit because of non-availability of power resulting into increase
demand of steam from CPP
Tripping of complete Unit as a result of LSS
Tripping of one unit because of either tripping of upstream or downstream unit (Capacity /
Feed constrain)
POWER
CPP is design to supply un-interrupted power demand by generating necessary power at CPP end
through various Turbine drives and distribute the same to all refinery substation for their need without
importing any power from PSEB at 9 MMTPA refinery capacities.
Power demand of each unit inside refinery is different at different load including CPP. CPP auxiliary
power varies based on the load on CPP. Refer below table for details of Power load of each unit during
full load operation of refinery.
MMTPA
Same 6 cases are considered as what consider during steam demand requirement calculation.
Major consequences which lead to Power abnormality are mentioned in brief as below:
Tripping of one or more steam generating unit inside CPP
Tripping of STG, BPTG
Tripping of GT which also result into forced tripping of HRSG unit
Details cases of Tripping of one or more critical units inside CPP and their consequence of power
demand as well as mitigation plan to avoid complete refinery is discuss and freeze in “LOAD SHEDDING
SCHEME (LSS)”. Refer Below mentioned attached which summarized the cases of CPP
equipment tripping viz a viz shortfall of steam and power and their consequence which results into
tripping of individual unit or part load shedding of unit to avoid complete refinery tripping.
The major havoc occurs because on Power disturbance from CPP are summarized as below:
Tripping of critical drives inside ISBL unit due to Power shortfall
Tripping of complete Unit as a result of LSS
Tripping of one unit because of either tripping of upstream or downstream unit (Capacity /
Feed constrain)
Tripping of steam generating unit because of non-availability of power resulting into increase
demand of steam from CPP
PSEB power is available but only act as a source of buffer power during tripping or non-availability of
one Power generating unit. Maximum Import drawn from PSED is limited to 35 MW only. Tripping of
two power generating unit inside CPP will definitely lead to LSS activation.
Boiler Feed water (BFW) is supplied from CPP after Deaeration process through 2 nos. of Export
BFW Pumps (1 X 100%) with a capacity of 253 m3/hr. BFW is used inside refinery for basically below
mentioned principle purposes as:
Boiler feed water for waste heat recovery boilers
Spray water for Desuperheater station
Direct water quenching for critical process (Intermediate requirements)
Boiler feed water requirements of various process units, which will be supplied from CPP are as below:

Notes :
Intermittent BFW requirement is in case of DCU shut down.
Intermittent requirement for OVHD water wash
Intermittent BFW requirement for caustic dilution in ISOM.
From CPP only HP level BFW is exported to all process units, any other level steam
requirement shall be met by pressure reduction within process units B/L.
CPP is designed for 253.6 TPH of HP BFW.
BFW going to refinery should also meet the below quality norms. This is of prime importance as the
BFW usage is directly into high heat flux zone or directly into process fluid. So any contamination in
BFW will adversely impact the quality standards of process fluid or even lead to BFW related problems
in Waste heat recovery boilers.
Recommended BFW Quality:
SL. No. Description Unit Range
1 pH - 8.5 – 9.5
2 Conductivity at 25 deg.C Micro mhos/cm <0.2
Major consequences which lead to BFW related abnormality are mentioned in brief as below:
Tripping of BFW pump inside CPP
Deaerator performance detoriation
The major havoc occurs because of BFW disturbance from CPP are summarized as below:
Tripping of steam generating unit because of non-availability of BFW resulting into increase
demand of steam from CPP
Process disturbance result into non availability of sufficient quantity of BFW for De-
superheating stations
Process quality detoriation result of poor quality of BFW for quenching and Spray water
Process equipment failure due to poor quality of BFW for process

Before opening any equipment, it should be purged to render the internal atmosphere
non-explosive and breathable. Operations to be carried out are: -
Note: Open a vent on the upper part of the vessel to allow gases to escape during filling and to
allow air inside the vessel during draining. Avoid any spillage on open ground area; all
disposals should be routed to designated area. Ensure proper ventilation inside the vessel by
opening all manholes. For fuel gas handling equipments, purge them with N 2 gas In case of
N2 purging properly barricade the area for entry and provide display sign boards.
Following items should be checked by a responsible operating supervisor before the equipment is
handed over for maintenance after it has been purged.
After the above operations have been made, a safety permit should be issued for carrying out the
work. A responsible operating supervisor should be personally present at the place of hot work till
the first torch is lighted. Hot work should be immediately suspended if instructed by the
supervisor or on detecting any unsafe condition. When people have to enter a vessel for
inspection or other work, one person should stand outside near the man hole of the vessel for
any help needed by the persons working inside. The person entering the vessel should have tied
on his waist a rope to enable pulling him out in case of urgency. Detail procedure for preparation
for vessel entry is given in next sub-section.
