1.0 PLANT DETAILS,
The steam Generator is a controlled circulation plus Radiant
Reheat (Type CC+RR) boiler. Firing equipment consists of five
elevation of remotely controllable high energy arc lgnitors five
elevations of air cooled non!retractable steam atomising oil Gun
and nine elevations of pulveri"ed coal no""ies. The nine
elevations of pulveri"ed coal no""ies are supplied #ith coal from
nine numbers of type $R% &''( )o#l mills #hich form the load
carrying fuel for the boiler.
Control equipment provided consists of furnace safeguard
supervisory system scanner air control system and a secondary
air control system.
*a+or au,iliary equipment provided consiss of pulveri"ers
feeders fans and miscellaneous valves. Three number of boiler
circulating pumps are provided to ensure proper circulation of
#ater in the furnace #all circuits.
The circuits #hich are sub+ected to steam blo#ing are super

PROPOSAL,
The ob+ectives are achieved by carrying out the follo#ing
proposals.
The steam blo#ing is done in five stages. 4i" .tage & .tage 3
(3a 5 3b) .tage ( ((a 5 (b) stage 9a 5 9b and .tage <. The
?lectrically 1perated Temporary 4alve (?1T4) is to be located in
the place as sho#n in the scheme. 0oop pipes from ?.4 and /4
to turbine are to be ta7en care for cleanliness before erection and
not to be steam blo#n.
Bll critical pipe lines covered in stage & 3a (a 5 (b #ill be steam
blo#n using ?1T4. 1nly in .tage &b *. stop valve at boiler end
#ill be used.
.team blo#ing is carried out by adopting puffing method for
stages & 3a 3b (a 5 (b in #hich boiler pressure is raised to <'
A.C and released through a quic7 opening valve and steam
blo#ing done till the 6rum pressure drops from <' A.C to 3<
A.C.
.team blo#ing for stages 9a 5 9b and < are carried out by
continous method. .team blo#ing by continous method shall be
done at 9'!<'C of normal operating pressure of the respective
system for period of 3' to (' minutes. )lo#ing repeated after a
time gap of 3 -rs.
)oth the above techniques give a thermal shoc7 to the contours
being purged and results in loosening of the adhered scale #hich
is subsequently removed by e,panding steam.

#hich are being steam blo#n should be #armed up prior to
blo#ing. The opening of steam blo#ing valve allo#s steam to
escape to atmosphere at high velocity carrying #ith it loose and
dislodged debris. To prevent thermal stresses in the thic7 #alled
shell li7e drum and headers the saturation temperature change in
drum is limited to 9' deg. C. ma,imum. -ence for the purpose of

COPLETION CRITERIA,
/ndications for the result of each blo#ing is the number of pittings
found on the target plate mounted in the temporary e,haust pipes
nearer to the permanent line. The highest velocity of steam is in
the center of the pipe. -ence +udgement should be made for the
end point of steam blo#ing in this area. The area for the above is
(D9the the discharge pipe diameter at the center. /t is
recommended to install the target plate after completing fe#
blo#s in each stage.
For evaluating the cleanliness and termination point of the steam
blo#ing target plate of stainless steel of mirror finish are to be
used.
For stages & 3a (a 9a 5 9b the result of the blo#ing operations
can be +udged by the absolute number of pittings on the target
plate in the central "one. The piping is considered clean if there
are not more than < (five) pittings and shall not have any
deformed edges. )esides there shall be no pitting in the rim
"one ie area other than central "one. This should be achieved in
three consecutive forget plates. Bt least one over night cooling is
to be ensured for steam blo#ing of pipe lines leading to Turbine.
/n addition to this for stages & 3a 5 (a 6isturbance factor value
at selected locations should be &.9 and above.
For all .ub!stages in .tage < the blo#ing is completed based
visual observation. The steam blo#n should be clean and
normally this is achieved in 3 blo#s.
