BALANCE WORK OF BOILER PART -II SOOT BLOWER , CC PUMP -ABC OF THERMAL POWER PLANT


                                                    Installation procedure of BWCP or CC PUMP.

Generally this pump is getting erected under the supervision  of supplier’ s representatives. However all the necessary inputs and environment  to be provided by the client or customer. However a standard check list is given below for understanding.

Ensure pump was stored and rotated per manufacturer’s recommendations. If it is a long storage then this should be stored vertically as actual position.

Insulation resistance is measured periodically by HT insulation testing machine.

All connecting pipe are attached with proper cleaning. Any particle present may stall and damage the pump. One should be very particular about flushing and cleaning of the pipes.

Check the impeller wear ring clearance  diameter.

Check all the piping supports showing the drawing are erected ,set as per drawing.

Check all the PWHT and NDE data before commissioning.

Check the alignment  data of mating flange pre welding and post welding. The flange should be perfectly horizontal with known tolerances.

Check that motor orientation is as per drawing and Gasket are fitted as per drawing .

Compression of gasket is also an important data. Studs are fitted with anti seize compound ( as recommended by supplier).
Stud compression is to be done as per manufactures recommendation i.e sequence and value.
 Assure that the heat exchanger is completely flushed with warm water.
Connect heat exchanger and associated piping to circulation pump motor.
Assure welding/NDE has been completed per applicable code/contract requirements.
Install gauges and recorder for temperature and pressure.
Install temporary strainer in exchanger low-pressure system.
Assure that motor and heat exchanger are filled with inhibitor, treated water or condensate.

High Pressure water connection are taken from BFP discharge and condensate Pump discharge. Emergency water connection is taken from a small tank installed at height ( for our unit it is 77 metre). All lines connected to this and BWCP to completed and flushed and made ready for commissioning. This is emergency supply when there is total failure of power in the system.
Individual hoist are supplied with individual pump to facilitate module insertion. It is highly recommended to commission this facility before BWCP erection. As the pump is vertical and gap is very  low one should take extra precaution to erect it. On that time this facility will help to insert the module very slowly and in vertical position. Please note that the pump should be erected around 10 meter level from ground level. Approach for the same in coal fired  boiler is a problem.
COAL FEEDER
Other important equipment is called COAL Feeder.
Coal from coal bunker ( generally it holds 8 hours coal of per mill capacity. The sizes of bunker depends on calorific value of coal and mill size) fed to coal feeder connected to each mill. The coal feeder is belt type with weighing facilities and microprocessor controlled speed of the feeder belt ,amount of coal fed into mill etc.
Each coal feeder consists of inlet shut of gate and outlet shut of gate per mill. Speed of the feeder is controlled through Combustion control philosophy.
Number of coal feeder in a 500MW or above boiler varies from six to nine depend on coal caloric value ( Indian or imported or blended).
During commissioning and  operation two aspect may be noticed one No Coal alarm and coal bridge at bunker outlet ( hopper portion).
