Topic-Steam Blowing: Adani Power Maharashtra LTD, Tiroda, 5 X 660 MW
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE :
Steam
blowing
of
MS
lines,
CRH,HRH,SH,RH,HP & LP bypass pipe
lines of turbine is carried out in order to
remove welding slag, loose foreign
materials, iron pieces, rust etc. from the
system, generated during manufacturing,
transportation & erection.
EFFECT OF BLOWING
DEPENDS ON
1) Thermal shock
2) Removal force of steam
3)
Cleaning force of steam
CLEANING FORCE OF
STEAM
The necessity to create in the system, the
steam velocity greater than that is possible
at MCR condition is obvious. These two
velocities are expressed as a ratio
Cleaning factor or Distribution factor
or Cleaning Force Ratio denoted by X or
K.

PRECONDITIONS
7) Hydraulic test of the following lines
completed:
Feed Lines
MS, HRH, CRH Lines
MS to Aux. PRDS Line
All other auxiliary lines identified for
steam blowing
8) Sampling system made ready
PRECONDITIONS
9) Boiler auxiliaries proved serviceable and
ready after pilot operation like:
- Fuel oil system
- Compressors & Atomizing steam system
- Start-up system ( for continuous system)
- Coal Mill system (for continuous system)
- CHP readiness
- Economizer hopper and bottom ash hopper
and its evacuation system (for continuous
system)
PRECONDITIONS
10) All safety valve disc installed after removing
hydro-static plug in drum(sub-critical),
superheaters and reheaters
11) Adequate communication between control
room, boiler and TG area ensured.
12) Flow nozzle, control valves and NRV flaps
wherever applicable should be not erected
before steam blowing and suitable spool
pieces are erected. Strainers in the path
should be removed.
13) Required number of Target Plates and
holder made available

SCHEME
Steam blowing done in stages
Stage-1(a)- SH, MSL, ESV, temporary lines
from ESV to EOTV, EOTV to CRH line, CRH lines
upto boiler end with temporary exhaust pipe.
STAGE- 1(a)
STAGE- 1(b)
SH,MSL, HP bypass inter connection, hand

STAGE-2(a)
1a plus reheater, HRH lines , Interceptor
STAGE- 2(a)
STAGE- 2(b)
2a upto IV + LP bypass lines with temporary
exhaust pipe.
Stage 2b blowing will be parallel blow in
the path 2a & 2b. LP Bypass blanks shall be
removed for stage 2b. 4 blows will be given
through L.P. Bypass line to ensure cleanliness
of the limbs
STAGE- 2(b)
STAGE-3
Auxiliary Steam Lines covered in steam
blowing are listed below.
3a) Main steam line to Aux PRDS
3b) CRH to Deaerator
3c) CRH to HPH-6.
All auxiliary steam lines will be steam
blown by continuous blowing method

PRELIMINARY CLEANING
PORPOSEa)Primary cleaning out sundries and bulky grain
deposited in the RH and main steam system
b)To ensure fastness of supports and hangers
with proper expansion
c)Know well about the operation property of oil
burning system, condensate water and feed
water systems
PRELIMINARRY STEAM
BLOWING
purged in series
Start 2-3 coal mills when oil burner hits the
rated firing rate of 15%
Increase the SH outlet press. to 3.5 Mpa.
Maintain the MS temp < 420 OC.
Keep HRH steam temp around 480 OC.
When the steam line blowing parameter
reaches , open the temporary purging valve
gradually and increase the fuel and feed
water volume to sustain parameter stability.
FINAL .
(max.- 50%)
Ensure CFR (K) should be 1.25 to 1.3 for MS
and 1.05 to 1.1 for reheated steam
Blow under this operating condition for 20 to
30 min
Gradually reduce coal firing and close the
purge valve at 0.5MPa .
Remove the target plate and check it
By estimation, target may satisfy the
requirements after 15 to 20 times in-series
purging
TARGET PLATE
Generally Stainless steel panel
Target plate set at the first, sixth, ninth, twelfth

ADVANTAGES
- Required less time for completion of the total
process
- Less time required to normalize the system for
final light-up to synchronisation
- This reduces the reactionary forces on the
temporary pipes
- Stresses on the boiler system are lower
CONTINEOUS METHOD
Less time required for
only valves to be
opened for different
systems
Minimum 02 nos. of
mill required
Quality of cleanliness is
slightly less than
Puffing.
