HP Feedwater System
The HP feedwater line is equipped with a check valve to prevent back-streaming from the
HRSG into the feed water pumps. The line can be isolated by a motorized stop valve.
The HP feedwater control valve station is located downstream of the HP economizer to prevent
steaming of feedwater in the economizer. A relief valve is installed downstream of economizer to
prevent overpressure in the economizer if the HP feedwater control valve is closed and HRSG
in operation.
From the HP feedwater line, the spray water line to the HP desuperheating spray system branch
off. The HP desuperheating spray system delivers water into the HP interstage desuperheater
located between HP superheater heating surfaces. It can limit the HP steam temperature within
the design value during part load or normal operation at high ambient temperature. The Max.
spray flow is approximately 8% of the steam flow.
HP Steam Generation
The high pressure system is located downstream the exhaust gas inlet of the HRSG. The
heating surfaces are fabricated mainly from finned tubes. The high pressure system is
subdivided into the following sections, listed in the order in which exhaust gas flows through
them;
z HP Superheater 3/2/1
z HP Evaporator
z HP Economizer 2/1
The HP economizer recovers the remaining heat contained in the exhaust gas at the HP
evaporator outlet. The HP evaporator generates steam through a natural circulation loop from
and to the HP drum. The HP superheater heats the saturated steam from HP drum temperature
to superheated steam.
The HP superheater and the HP economizer are cross counter flow heat exchangers and the
HP evaporator flow is cross to the exhaust gas flow. The HRSG is of vertical design.
The feedwater is fed by the HP/IP feedwater pumps from the LP drum to the HP economizers,
where it is heated up to economizer outlet temperature and then delivered to the HP drum.
Water is fed from the HP drum through downcomers to the inlet header of the HP evaporator.
Water partly evaporates in the HP evaporator and the water/steam mixture is fed via natural
convection in the tube risers from the outlet header back to the HP drum. The connection piping
between the outlet header and drum is distributed uniformly over the length of the drum.

integrated at the top of the LP drum for the deaeration of condensate.
The system fulfils the following object:
z Delivers condensate to the deaerator and LP drum during start-up, shut-down and power
operation of the combined-cycle unit.
z Shuts off condensate supply during feedwater control malfunction in order to prevent
overfeeding of the HRSG.
z Supplies LP steam produced by the HRSG to the LP steam system during normal operation.

The LP superheater and the condensate preheater are cross counter flow heat exchangers and
the LP evaporator flow is cross to the exhaust gas flow. The HRSG is of vertical design.
The condensate is fed by the condensate extraction pumps to the condensate preheater, where
it is heated up to condensate preheater outlet temperature and then delivered to the deaerator.
The condensate preheater system is equipped with recirculation system which is used to control
the condensate preheater inlet temperature. The condensate preheater recirculation pump
recirculates water from the outlet of the condensate preheater to the inlet of the condensate
preheater. The temperature control valve, which is located in the recirculation pump discharge
line, controls the recirculation flow to maintain the condensate preheater inlet temperature.
To prevent less flow operation, below minimum flow of the recirculation pump, the recirculation
system control must limit the closure of the temperature control valve when the recirculation
pump flow approaches actual min. flow.
The condensate preheater system is also equipped with a condensate bypass system. The
three-way valve sends condensate water flow to the condensate preheater and/or bypass
around the condensate preheater.
The three-way valve can be positioned to ;
1. direct all condensate flow to the condensate preheater,
2. direct all condensate flow through the condensate preheater bypass,
3. direct any portion of the flow to either the preheater or the bypass around the condensate
preheater.
When the recirculation pumps are all failure, the three-way valve is positioned in the fully-closed
position, resulting in all the condensate flow bypassing the condensate preheater so that the
HRSG can be continuously operation without shut down.
The three-way valve is positioned to route a portion of the condensate flow to the condensate
preheater bypass as required to hold a minimum subcooling before entering the deaerator to
ensure an optimum deaeration process.
At the top of the LP drum, a direct contact spray-tray-type deaerator vessel is provided. A spring
loaded spray nozzle is provided for guaranteed operation of deaerating. All condensate through
the condensate preheater is fed to the deaerator where it is deaerated and heated by the
saturated steam from the LP drum and the resulting air is expelled through the vent line to

collected in the LP drum.
Water is fed from the LP drum through downcomers to the inlet header of the LP evaporator.
Water partly evaporates in the LP evaporator and the water/steam mixture is fed via natural
convection in the tube risers from the outlet header back to the LP drum. The connection piping
between the outlet header and LP drum is distributed uniformly over the length of the LP drum.
The LP drum has the following functions:
z ensure good mixing of feedwater and LP Drum water
z reserve a water required for the circulation system and providing feedwater to the feedwater
pumps
z allow water expansion during start-up
z ensure a thorough water and steam separation
z Deliver saturated steam of specified purity (<0.1% carry over)
The LP drum capacity is selected to ensure safe and stable operation under all normal
operating conditions. The LP drum is installed outside of the casing thus is not heated by
exhaust gas. The separation of water and steam is achieved by means of water/steam
separation system (Two stage separation system, baffle assisted separator as a primary and

superheater within the limits.
The steam for the heating of the deaerator/LP drum is supplied by various sources. The main
source of steam is the LP evaporator.
Additionally, the pegging steam is supplied from the IP superheater outlet steam line. This
pegging steam operation is required when the LP drum pressure cannot be maintained above
floor pressure or drops quickly.

HRSG Internal Inspection


HRSG interior shall be examined during every periodical inspection.
The following items represent a specific check list:

Drum Inspection
1)

Take off the manhole cover and check whether steam drum internals are
securely fixed. Also verify possible contamination.

2)

Confirm that the steam stop, feed water, blow down and chemical injection
valves are completely and firmly closed and locked in "Closed" position.

3)

Provide all the isolation valves with appropriate holding tags, so that other
persons will not inadvertently open them.

4)

Seals around manway doors

5)

Inside around manway doors

6)

Upon entering into the HRSG drum, check for corrosion and pitting, if the
HRSG water properties during the HRSG wet lay-up are appropriate, pitting
will rarely occur inside the steam drum.

7)

The main cause is the presence of dissolved oxygen in feed water, so Pitting
can be completely prevented if the feed water and HRSG water control is
performed correctly.

8)

When mounting the internals, pay attention to the following :


- Fully understand beforehand the assembling procedure and the internals
configuration.
- Because the internals are composed of a large number of parts, it is
recommended to sort them into two separate groups :
- Those to be mounted above water level and those to be mounted below
water level.

This recommendation will help avoiding re-installation mistakes.
- During the time of re-assembly, fully inspect all parts to check whether
there is any future possibility of steam water mixture, dry steam and feed
water, etc., leaking from joints and being mixed with each other.
- In particular, the portion near the dry steam outlet should be completely
tight.
- When new packing have been inserted in bolted joints, the bolts should
be finally re-tightened after a preliminary tightening.
- The joints that do not use any packing should be well fitted prior to the
bolts tightening.
9)

The internals must be fully inspected also during their re-assembly.

10)

After re-assembly completion, it is impossible to check the correct reassembly of all components.

11)

An incomplete tightness of the internals will cause damage to the


superheater tubes, due to carry-over. Even only one missing bolt or
incomplete or damaged packing can allow above carry-over to occur.
Therefore, careful attention shall be provided when reassembling the drum
internals.

Superheater Inspection
The inspection and maintenance of the superheater shall comply with the following
requirements:
1)

When inspecting the drum, be sure to inspect the superheater also.

2)

Check the superheater for alignment, deformation and bulging.

3)

Inspect the condition of superheater supports and repair the defective parts,
if any, immediately.

4)

Check the superheater, header and steam drum interior for carried over
solids and, if present, clean them immediately. Also, determine and eliminate
the source.

The superheater must be correctly operated, inspected and subjected to proper

Superheater Cleaning
1)

External cleaning
When operated for a long period of time, keep the exterior of the
superheater as clean as possible.
If the superheater is contaminated, the flue gas will not have an uniform flow.
Therefore, the heat transfer drops causing local overheating against which
precautions should be taken.

2)

Internal cleaning
To keep the interior of the superheater clean, the feed water and the related
water treatment must be performed correctly.
Also, the steam humidity and the solid content of the steam entering the
superheater shall be kept within the specified limits.
The following are causes of adhesion of scales to the superheater inside
wall:
a) Operation in over load conditions/parameters or sudden load fluctuation,
high water level, priming or increase of HRSG water concentration values,
etc.
b) Adhesion of scale generates a reduction of superheater heat rate and a
steam pressure drop. Therefore, the superheater could be damaged,
unless the scales are removed.
c) The HRSG manufacturer shall be consulted prior the scale removal.
When the superheater steam pressure drop is measured periodically, the
adhesion

of

scales

can

be

judged.

However,

the

pressure

measurements have to be made under the same load.


Notes:
1.

A periodic measurement of superheater steam pressure drop will allow a


scales deposit evaluation

2.

The pressure measurements shall be performed under the same HRSG load

Miscellaneous Inspection
1)

Inspect and clean the flue gas side of HRSG heating surfaces.

2)

The following inspections, but not limited to, must be performed annually :
a) Complete inspection of HRSG interior
b) Remove(eliminate) the scale deposits, if required
c) Verify the superheater and economizer performances
d) Tubes detailed inspection, especially after tube failures and/or expected
tube failures.
e) Metallurgical examination and analysis of tube sections. (see Note 1)
f) Tube sections chemical analysis of deposits. (see Note 1)

Notes :
1.

Inspection items must be performed when tube failures have occurred, or


are expected to occur, and no reasons have been clearly identified.

2.

Scale inspection shall be performed by qualified persons for this area of


expertise.

3.

Separate records shall be kept for each inspection in accordance with Owner
approved procedure.

HRSG MALFUNCTION AND REMEDIES

5.1

Low Water Level


For a satisfactory operation of the HRSG, the water in all drums should be
maintained at the normal water level. The operator responsible for maintaining the
drum water level within specified limits, should always watch and control the water
level, in conjunction with all related instrumentation and controls, including the
automatic level controls. When there is no reliable method to immediately recover
and stabilize the water level, the operator is required to:
1)

Follow the combined cycle (CC) plant operating procedures, the Combined
Cycle Plant will be transfer to shutdown mode.

2)

Ensure that the GT connected to the HRSG with Low Water level problem is
shutdown.

3)

Stop the supply of feed water.


If the feed water is still being supplied, switch over the automatic feed water
controller to "Manual", to gradually decrease the feed water flow (never
increase the feed water supply). The purpose for gradual reduction of feed
water flow by "Manual", as mentioned above, is to prevent a rapid cooling of
the HRSG pressure parts. The main steam stop valve shall be closed when
almost no more steam generation can be monitored.

4)

Reduce the steam pressure


Gradually reduce steam pressure by opening the start-up blow valve or vent
valve.

5)

HRSG Inspection
The following inspections/verifications must be performed:
- Determine the cause of low water level
- Inspect the HRSG pressure parts in order to determine whether they are
overheated
- Whether there are leakage and/or deformation, etc.

Note)
1 Following the confirmation of HRSG normal condition, the operator must
proceed with the startup, as required, in accordance with the approved
procedures.
2 Above paragraph was written assuming the low water level is due to a
leak. In case of low water level by pump failure or valve failure, the
operator is required to action same as above step 4 and 5.

5.2

Tube Failure
When leakage is suspected, several steps should be taken by the operator. These
are recommendations only, and are not intended to replace the judgement of the
operators, responsible for the equipments operation. Operation with leaking tubes
may damage other tubes and, therefore, a major repair activity may be required
instead of a single short one. Refer to Appendix 1, Repair Procedure of Harp
Assembly Tube Leakage.
The decision to shutdown the HRSG must be made in accordance with plant
operation procedures, taking also in consideration all circumstances, including the
advantages and disadvantages of keeping the unit in operation.
- In the situation of a major water leakage, in conjunction with the impossibility to
maintain the water level in the steam drum by the feed water flow control, the
HRSG shall be shut-down.
- Also, in the abnormal situation when it is impossible to control the drum water
level at a normal level by the feed water flow control, the following actions must
be taken :
1)

Follow the plant procedures to shutdown the GT.

2)

Stop the feed water supply to the HRSG.

3)

HRSG Inspection
When the HRSG is cold enough to permit access, inspect in detail the
degree of damage to the boiler pressure parts. After making the necessary
repairs on the damaged parts, a hydraulic test shall be performed to
examine all pressure parts. The restart of the HRSG shall be performed in
accordance with the approved procedures.

by using vacuum cleaner or suitable manners and caped with plastic
cap or vinyl tape to prevent inflow of foreign material during repair
works.
6) Repair welding of the defected zone
The defected zone can be repair welded directly for leaking area after
removal of defect and making a groove for repair welding, and also be
rectified by inserting new piece of tube after cutting of proper length
including defected area.
For the inserting new piece of tube, both end of tube and new piece
should be weld prepared with 30for butt welding.
Before repair welding, weld zone should be preheated in accordance
with applicable WPS considering material specification.

9) Recovering of adjacent tubes which were cut off for access space
The welding, NDE and PWHT should be done in accordance with above
clause 5) ~ 7).
Each step of finned tubes shall be recovered consecutively considering
NDE(RT).

4.2 Type-B
: By replacing of the defected finned tube
For the applying this method, firstly surrounding circumstance such as
casing wall structure, pipe lines and any other obstruction adjacent to the
defected zone should be verified in order to insert new finned tube.
The conception of rectification is to replace with new finned tube after
making access opening on casing wall and taking out existing defected
finned tube. New finned tube can be made several pieces, and it will be
welded during inserting process if it is too long to handle the tube
considering surrounding circumstance.
z

Advantages for this method


- There is nothing to effect the reduction of heat transfer space

Disadvantages for this method


- Rectification time will be taken longer than plugging method
- Radiographic examination is required for butt weld
- Some cases cannot apply this method due to surrounding circumstance

1) Verify the defected finned tube exactly
The exact location of the defected finned tube should be detected by
visually using borescope or other suitable manners.
2) The surrounding circumstance such as casing wall structure, pipe lines
and any other obstruction adjacent to defected zone should be
verified in order to insert new piece of finned tube.
As described in below figure, surrounding circumstance should be
verified for both inside cavity and casing wall outside in order to insert
it successfully.

Entire figure of HRSG is shown as attachment #1.


3) If there are no any obstructions to put new finned tube as like
mentioned above, make access opening window on casing wall
(300mm x 300mm). The access opening window shall be located on
same direction to tube longitudinal direction, and it can be made
either of both front and rear casing wall considering accessibility and
workability for tube inserting.
4) Removal of existing defected tube
Before removal of existing defected tube, adjacent U-bends or
connection tubes which are obstructing to extract tube shall be cut off
completely.

6.1

General Precaution

6.1.1 Operating Data


This HRSG has been designed to comply with specific technical requirements :
pressure, temperature, flows, etc, in accordance with the Heat Balance Cases
parameters.
Therefore, the maximum operating parameters shall not be exceeded.
The power plant personnel shall have a complete knowledge of the HRSG unit
operation and shall be properly trained.
By maintaining the heat transfer sections external surface clean, the temperature
of the GT exhaust gas leaving the HRSG, as well as the related pressure drop
(draft loss) through the HRSG, will normally be constant, for a given value of the
GT exhaust gas input.
Therefore, accurate performance records shall be kept, starting with the HRSG
commissioning.
Based on the HRSG unit "new and clean condition", set (standard) values must be
determined. Any deviation from these set values will allow the evaluation of a
satisfactory operation.

Also, the deviations will indicate a potential or actual

trouble (unsatisfactory operation), as soon as it occurs.


The operator shall determine the correct cause of any trouble or discrepancy,
between the set and actual values, in order to avoid the development of significant
troubles.
The operation records shall be properly kept. Their format shall allow an easy
comparisons with similar operation conditions, as well as an easy interpretation.
The main points to be measured and recorded are the following (but not limited to),
as shown on the related P&IDs:
1. Section / component pressure
2. Section / component temperature
3. Drums water level
4. Feed water flow
5. Feed water quality

6. Steam purity
7. HRSG water and blowdown analysis
6.1.2 Evaporation Rate
The steam flow shall be measured or estimated by using steam and/or water
flowmeters.
A blowdown allowance shall be considered if a water flowmeter only is used.
The accuracy of the flowmeters shall be periodically checked. The pressure and/or
temperature deviations, from the values for which the instrument was calibrated
will introduce errors in the measuring accuracy.
The superheater pressure drop will increase with evaporation rate increase.
6.1.3 Steam Purity
The moisture content and the concentration of solids in the steam leaving the
HRSG depend to a great extent on the feedwater quality.
The alkalinity and concentration of dissolved and suspended solids can be
maintained below predetermined values by using a correct feedwater treatment
operation and an adequate blowdown procedure.
6.1.4 Safety Valves
The primary purpose of the safety valves is to prevent excessive pressure in the
HRSG and superheater. Safety valves, normally located on the steam drums and
on the superheater outlet lines, are set to lift in sequence.
There should be no obstructions at the safety valves inlet or outlet.
The superheater is protected by setting the superheater safety valves to pop open
prior to the safety valves on the steam drum.

6.2

Precaution during Operation

6.2.1 Flue Gas Temperature


The flue gas temperature rises with an increase in the GT load and decreases with
a load decrease.
The flue gas temperature valves in relation to the load values shall be recorded.
These records represent important data for normal operation and for abnormally
high or low flue gas temperature situations which the operator shall notice
immediately.
Possible causes of abnormal flue gas temperature are as follow:
1)

flue gas temperature is abnormally low :


A flue gas temperature abnormally low indicates that there is a low turbine
exhaust gas temperature. In this case, the O2 content in the Combustion
Turbine exhaust gas is extremely high, and the turbine shall be investigated
accordingly.

2)

flue gas temperature abnormally high :


(1) Abnormally high percentage of excess air
Normally, the O2 content in the Combustion Turbine exhaust gas is at high
levels. If the percentage of excess air is extremely high, special attention
shall be provided. This occurs frequently, especially at Combustion Turbine
excessive partial (low) loads.
(2) Heating surface contaminated with soot, if applicable.

6.2.2 Priming
Generally, the drums water level shall be controlled to the normal water level
specified in the steam drum section of this manual.
Sudden fluctuations are not permitted.
Priming (of humid steam) may occur when the HRSG is either subjected to a
required evaporation rate at a pressure significantly lower than the normal
operating or experiences a very high water level.
HRSG drum capacity is large in comparison with the evaporation rate; however,
priming can occur during the sudden load increase/ fluctuations.

Qurayyah CCPP HRSG


When high water level occurs, the feedwater control must be changed to
"Manual", in order to reduce the flow of drum water, which requires the drum water
level to be maintained at a low level.
Therefore, a minimum water level must be maintained. If required, GT load may
have to be reduced.
6.2.3 Superheater
1)

Superheater safety relief valve operation


The superheater safety relief valve shall be set to operate at a pressure,
which is lower than the drum safety relief valve set point.
Therefore, when the steam rate decreases suddenly, or is reduced to zero,
the superheater safety relief valve will operate to maintain flow through the
superheater while protecting the superheater from over pressure.
When the steam rate decreases, the operator shall identify immediately the
reason, because the superheater safety valve is not designed to maintain
the steam pressure within the prescribed limits, for an extended period of
time.

2)

Superheater damage prevention


The most frequent damage that occur during the HRSG operation are
generated by the superheater tubes bulging and warping, because of either
improper control during the HRSG startup or shutdown, or HRSG continuous
operation. Therefore, the operator shall consider the required precautions.
When the temperature of flue gas passing through the superheater is high,
the superheater tube wall temperature is 20~40 higher than the steam
temperature inside the tube. Also, the boiler water capacity is lower than the
boiler evaporation rate. Therefore, if the feed water control system is not
properly monitored, fluctuations in the HRSG water level many occur.
Appropriate measures should be taken to prevent the superheater damage,
possible to occur during the HRSG operation.
The HRSG operator should monitor the following occurrences in order to
prevent the damage:

(1) Incidents originating inside the superheater tube, (steam/side) scales
carried with the HRSG steam moisture have the tendency to adhere to
the interior side of the superheater tube and to accumulate, to build an
excessively thick deposit.
The heat resistance of this deposit will cause temperature rise of the
superheater tube due to scales is it the result of priming.
It is very important to always operate the HRSG within "the limit values
of feed water and HRSG water" furnished by DHICO.
The causes leading to priming are as follows:
(a) The HRSG water limits, especially pH and dissolved solids content,
are excessively high, or oil and grease are mixed in the water
(foaming).
(b) Large quantities of chemicals have been injected in the HRSG.
(c) Feed water is extremely contaminated due to a failure of the water
treatment system.
(d) Various plant heat exchangers drains or leakage, when connected
to the condensate - feed water systems can contaminate the water
quality.
(e) HRSG operation at a pressure much lower than the specified
pressure.
(f) Items (a) through (d) above refer to the feed water chemical
components (high content) action on the HRSG priming.
However, priming can also occur due to HRSG excessive high water
level. Corrective action must be taken.
(g) HRSG water can be fed directly to superheater tubes without
through of drum internal(separator and dryer) due to drum internals
leakage. The result is similar with the priming result.
When intensively primed because above reasons, the superheater
steam temperature will drop abruptly.
When the HRSG experiences a slight priming, the steam temperature
drop could be so small that it may not be noticed.
(2) Incidents originating outside superheater tubes (gas side).

Qurayyah CCPP HRSG


Generally, deposits of soot, etc., on the tubes external surface do not
cause an excessive temperature rise of the superheater tubes
temperature.
However, when the flue gas flow is affected by such deposits, the
superheater tubes may be overheated in the areas with an excessive
temperature rise of the superheater tubes.
6.2.4 Steam Temperature
The superheater outlet steam temperature is generally little affected by load
changes.
1)

In the following case, superheater steam temperature rises abnormally and,


therefore, careful adjustment is required:
(1) Too high temperature of GT exhaust gas.

2)

In the following cases, superheated steam temperature falls abnormally and,


therefore, careful adjustment is required:
(1) Too low temperature of GT exhaust gas.
(2) Excessive wet steam at superheater inlet.
(3) Contamination of superheater tubes inside or outside.
(4) Lower than normal steam pressure.

When boiler priming occurs, superheated steam temperature drops sharply and
then rises again. The frequency and intensity of such variations of superheated
steam temperature increases with the increase in total solid content or alkalinity of
HRSG water.
6.2.5 Blowdown Procedure
Blowdown is an important factor in the HRSG water control and has the following
two objectives.
1)

Prevents the concentration of impurities in the HRSG water.

2)

Remove deposits from drum inside.

# Objective No.1
During the HRSG operation, continuous blowdown shall be in operation, in order

to maintain water quality in each HRSG drum.
# Objective No.2
During the HRSG operation, intermittent blowdown shall be performed by rapidly
blowing a certain quantity of HRSG water, under pressure, from the drum, at
certain intervals of time.
Normally, the intermittent blowdown shall be performed 1 to 3 times in 24 hours, in
order to maintain the water chemistry.
The blowdown shall be preferably performed during the HRSG shutdown to
maintain as much heat as possible.
The blowdown valves shall be periodically inspected for leakage.
6.2.6 Access to Stack
The access must be locked for personnel protection purpose considering
emergency simple cycle operation.

HYDROSTATIC TEST STEP


3.1

Preliminary Hydrostatic Test

1) Water-filling
Water shall be introduced into the boiler.
NOTES :
Depending on the specific Hydrostatic Test methodology that the specialized contractor will
issue, HRSG OEM can provide the required advice in selecting the filling lines.
The Third Party Inspector requirements shall also be considered by HRSG erector.
Fill with treated condensate or treated demineralized water. Refer to Section 2.4
CAUTION: The use of fill water, treated with solid chemicals, should be avoided. Deposits of
solid materials in superheaters can be detrimental from heat transfer and corrosion
standpoints. Superheaters containing stainless steel tubing are particularly vulnerable to
stress corrosion cracking in the presence of such chemicals as caustic and chlorides.
2) Feed water system
HRSG feed water pump must be allowed to operate normally.
In case feed water system is not in service, HRSG Erector shall conduct water filling using
a separate filling pump referred in section 2.0.
3) NDT
To confirm performing the Radiographic Examination and Stress Relieving Test to all
pressure and welding parts.
4) Pipe Support
To check whether all the hanger supports are in locked condition.
5) Cleaning
Before starting to fill the boiler make sure all drums and headers are cleared of foreign
material. Close all drains. Open all vents normally used when filling the HRSG (such as
superheater link vents, economizer link vents, drum vents).
6) Operator and Inspector
Operators and inspectors are requested to be placed in the position as required.

7) Pressurizing
Pressurizing shall be performed with the pressurizing pump, connected to the pressurizing
line.
The pressurizing rate of 35 bar per minute is recommended.
When the pressure has reached 80% of the safety valve setting pressure, the pressurizing
pump must be stopped and the gags shall be set on the safety relief valves. Then, the
pressurizing shall continue again, up to the test pressure.
8) Inspection
The HRSG shall be inspected for leakage 2-3 times during the pressurizing process. During
the inspection, the pressurizing pump shall be shut-off. When the test pressure has been
reached, the pressure shall be maintained for a minimum 10 minutes.
NOTES :
(a) close visual inspection is not required during this stage, in the interest of safety of the
inspector.
(b) at near the design pressure(maximum working pressure), the pressurizing shall be
performed at a lower rates, so as not to exceed the test pressure.
9) Pressure decreasing
After reaching the test pressure, the pressure is then reduced to design pressure using the
relief valve of the pressurizing pump, special pressure relief valve or other drain valves.
NOTES :
(a) The pressure decreasing rate shall be 3-5 bar per minute.
(b) The pressure relief valve or drain valve must not be opened too fast.
When the pressure has decreased to design pressure, the pressure reducing valve must be
closed, in order to carry out the official inspection for leakage. After inspection, pressure
decreasing shall be continued.
When the pressure has decreased to 80% of the safety valve setting pressure, the pressure
reducing valve must be closed, in order to remove the gags from the safety relief valves.
After the removal of the safety relief valve gags, the pressure decrease shall continue.
3.2

Official Hydrostatic Test

The HRSG shall be pressurized and depressurized in the same manner as in the preliminary test.
The HRSG shall be maintained under the specified hydrostatic test pressure for required time

The official leakage inspection shall be carried out at the design pressure during pressure
decreasing stage..
If no leakage has identified, the hydrostatic test can be considered completed.
General Notes
The hydrostatic test shall be conducted using water at no less than ambient temperature, but
in no case less than 21 oC as per PG-99.
At no time during the hydrostatic test shall any part of the boiler be subjected to a general
primary membrane stress greater than 90% of its yield strength (0.2% offset) at test

PRESERVATION AFTER HYDROSTATIC TEST


-

Introduce nitrogen through the drum vent to pressure the unit to approximately 0.2~0.4
barg.

Remove all hydrostatic test plugs and gags from the safety valves prior to starting up the
unit

Note: Since there is generally some time delay between the hydrostatic test and the chemical
cleaning of the boiler, the unit should remain full of water; air should not be allowed to enter.
Note: If there is a chance of freezing, the water in the drainable circuits can be displaced with
nitrogen and the unit can laid up under nitrogen pressure. Temporary heating equipment
should be provided to keep the non-drainable superheater elements above freezing
temperature.
The preservation after the hydrostatic test shall be in accordance with the recommended HRSG
Conservation Procedure.

GENERAL
The purpose of layup is to minimize corrosion (pit corrosion or oxygen pitting) as well as to
reduce the subsequent start up after shutdown.
This procedure is for water and steam side, not for gas side. For gas side, refer to chapter 6
miscellaneous recommendation in this procedure.
There are three kinds of key factors for corrosion such as the water, the oxygen and the metal.
In case of the metal, it is unavoidable in HRSG. There are two choices which are to eliminate
water or oxygen. If remove water, it is dry layup method and if remove oxygen, it is wet layup
method.
a)

Dry Layup method

b)

Wet Layup method

The concept of dry layup is to fully fill the nitrogen at the inside of tubes, pipes and drums.
The concept of wet layup is to fully fill the water with pH 10 ~ 11 and a low conductivity
uniformly throughout the inside of tubes, pipes and drums.
All chemicals herein should be followed the manufacturers instructions.

SELECTION OF LAYUP METHODS


Desiccant method can be used for transportation before install on site.
If delay starting of erection, it needs to discuss with DOOSAN.
During erection, it should be considered the attack by corrosion environments such as rainy.
After mechanical completion in field, it shall the hydro pressure test in field in accordance with
hydrostatic pressure test procedure. Before hydro test and after hydro test, it shall follow layup
method on hydro pressure test procedure.
After chemical cleaning, HRSG shall be conserved wet or dry layup method depending on the
site conditions such as the below maintenance, freezing and availability.
There are many factors to select layup method to protect the HRSG heat transfer internal
surfaces:
Maintenance
If expect maintenance during the outage, it shall select dry layup method. However, if
maintenance is anticipated, the dry air method shall be used.
Freezing
If expect freezing during the outage, it shall select dry layup method.
Availability
If expect not to be operated properly the chemistry, it shall select dry layup method.
Outage period
If expect the subsequent start up during the outage, it shall select wet layup method.
Because HRSG can not be successfully dried, wet layup method is strongly
recommended.

DRY LAYUP METHOD


The Dry Layup method, which requires nitrogen sealing, is a typical and effective method used
for a long outage period (more than 48 hours).
The following are mandatory requirements for the nitrogen gas sealing method:
a)

After the HRSG pressure has reached the 1.5 barg, the water existing in the HRSG shall
be gradually drained by opening the blow off valves.

b)

The heat remaining in the HRSG metal will dry the moisture at the inside of tubes. Due to
this reason, the vent is to open and to close. It must be initiated around 1.5 barg.

c)

Charge nitrogen gas from nitrogen gas injection system of each drum.

d)

When nitrogen gas, instead of water, starts to come out from the blowdown tank outlet
(to the sump), drums blow off valves shall be closed.

e)

After all HRSG sections have been filled with nitrogen gas, all valves shall be closed.

f)

The nitrogen pressure in all sections shall be maintained at 0.5 barg (min. 0.2 barg).
Nitrogen gas shall be recharged when the pressure reaches 0.3 barg. The nitrogen gas
pressure in all sections shall be checked with the related existing pressure gauges.

g)

Nitrogen gas pressure shall be checked daily at the pressure gauges.

h)

As the HRSG cools to the ambient temperature, the nitrogen gas pressure shall be
checked frequently because HRSG cooling will decrease nitrogen pressure.

Alternatively, the circulating dehumidified air is able to use instead of nitrogen under
maintaining below 30% related humidity.
Maximum 0.1% volume percentage nitrogen is recommended.
Caution: Nitrogen is a hazard to personnel and can not be used if maintenance on
the systems is going to be proceeded. If there are any leaks from the inside of
tubes and piping to the gas side, anyone on the gas side of HRSG should be left
because of a lethal environment.
If repair works are anticipated, dry air instead of nitrogen has to inject to the
inside of tubes and piping. The related humidity levels should be checked at the
drain or vent less than 30%.

It is bottle up by closing stack damper and drain/vent valve.


The water chemistry shall be kept from the normal value to maximum value.
If the pressure in drum is less than 1.5 barg, it needs to fill nitrogen from steam drum to
superheater to preventing air ingress into the inside of tubes, piping and drums.
The following are mandatory requirements for the hot wet layup method:
a)

Keep drum level from start up level to normal level.

b)

The temperature will gradually down by heat loss.

c)

The pressure will be up and down for the time being and then it will gradually down.

If the pressure in drum approaches to 1.5 barg, the followings are mandatory requirements.
d)

If the pressure approaches to 1.5 barg, the steam drum pressure shall be pressurized by
nitrogen on the connection of steam drum.

e)

Nitrogen gas pressure shall be maintained at 0.3 barg at any time.

f)

Close the nitrogen connections until start up HRSG. Also, close the level gages on the
steam drums if lasts over 3 days layup.

g)

Before put in service, the drain valves are opened to blow off any water. Also, open the
level gages.

Caution: Nitrogen is a hazard to personnel and can not be used if maintenance on


the systems is going to be proceeded. If there are any leaks from the inside of
tubes and piping to the gas side, anyone on the gas side of HRSG should be left
because of a lethal environment.

Cold Wet Layup Method


The wet layup method requires the HRSG, except the superheater, to be completely filled with
feedwater.
The wet layup method, which requires nitrogen sealing in superheater and which requires
water sealing in evaporator / economizer, is a typical and effective method used for a long

outage period (more than 48 hours).


The following are mandatory requirements for the Wet Layup method:
a)

When the HRSG is required to be shutdown, the chemicals shall be added 30 minutes
before taking the HRSG out of service.

b)

The water quality shall be the same or similar to normal deaerated feedwater/condensate
treated with chemicals. The recommended chemicals are hydrazine (or an alternative) for
eliminating oxygen and ammonia(or amine) for maintaining pH value between 10 ~ 11.

c)

Keep drum level from start up level to normal level.

d)

The temperature will gradually down by heat loss.

e)

The pressure will be up and down for the time being and then it will gradually down.

f)

If the pressure approaches to 1.5 barg, the steam drum pressure shall be pressurized by
nitrogen on the connection of steam drum.

g)

Purge the superheater. The nitrogen shall be vented downstream the superheater.

h)

After the HRSG complete filling, all valves shall be closed, to avoid any air flow into the
HRSG sections

i)

Nitrogen gas pressure shall be maintained at 0.3 barg at any time.

j)

The hydrazine (or an alternative) concentration in the HRSG water shall be tested weekly.
The chemical sampling system should be used for these tests. Hydrazine (or an
alternative) shall be added, as required, to maintain the proportion of 100 to 200 ppm.

k)

HRSG water level shall be checked. If required, additional feedwater shall be filled in. Also,
hydrazine (or an alternative) shall be filled in, in order to maintain the required
proportion.

l)

Close the nitrogen connections until start up HRSG. Also, close the level gages on the
steam drums if lasts over 3 days layup.

m)

During wet layup, the recirculation of fluid is required for maintaining the chemicals
intended every week for one hour. The temporary layup recirculation pump shall be
connected to the evaporator downcomer and economizer inlet.

n)

If not action l), drain the water under 0.3 barg of nitrogen pressure and refill the
economizer and evaporator up to drum level high high with deaerated water, pH 10~11,

MISCELLANEOUS RECOMMENDATIONS
At the beginning of the "Lay Up" method, the combustion gas side shall also be inspected.
Soot, etc. must be removed. The surface of the drums, tubes and the combustion gas side
should be inspected for corrosion.
Gas side corrosion typically occurs when moist air is present with tube deposits containing
sulfuric acid or other fuel-borne contaminants. The gas side can only be laid up dry, if necessary
Electrical Heaters will be used to prevent condensate. And also silica gel can be placed inside
the gas side. The quantities are 0.5 kg / m3. Periodic inspection of the gas side should be
performed to ensure that conditions promoting rapid corrosion are not present. Under warm
high humidity environment below the ambient dew point, a rust / flaky scale in finned tube will
occur. The desired relative humidity is less than 30%.
If find the gas side corrosion, cleaning of flaky deposits from finned tubes is recommended.

HRSG WATER CHEMISTRY REQUIREMENTS

9.1

General
The purpose of this requirement is to minimize corrosion, erosion and deposits
under good industry practices. In order to protect all components of the steam
water cycle against corrosion, erosion and deposits and so not to affect the plant
efficiency, it is essential to control the water chemistry within the values in this
requirement.
This requirement is limited to drum type HRSG.

Copper-tubed condenser, brass-

tubed condenser and air cooled condenser is not permitted to use this requirement.
These requirements are generally in accordance with published guidelines from
EPRI, VGB, EN, ASME and ABMA.
The plant water chemistry control requirements provided by plant engineering
company are preferred.
The aim of minimizing corrosion / erosion and avoiding deposits is reached by
- Using de-mineralized water
- Controlling the pH value by ammonia
- Reducing the oxygen content within recommended ranges
- Blowing off the drum water
During normal operation, the maximum rate of make up water is one percentage.
During upset condition, up to five percentage of make up water is allowed. Special
attention is required when HRSG is in use for cogeneration purposes because of a
wide range of make up water demand.
During commissioning, this requirement should be verified by the plant operator.
Generally, the quality of the steam is proportional to the quality of the water.
Due to frequently start up and shut down, well skilled chemical operators are
required.

Water Treatment
HRSG OEM is not responsibility for water treatment.

The type of chemical

treatment will be selected depending on the variety of material, system supplied,


etc.
This requirement is to provide based on all volatile treatment.

pH value is high

enough so that any copper containment at the feed water system is not allowed.
If there is any copper containment, oxygenated treatment can be selected under
high purity water, lower pH value.
Organic treatment chemicals is not permitted in order to minimize the potential
flow accelerated corrosion.

should be required to monitor cation conductivity and sodium content of feedwater
in order to detect condenser leakage.
In terms of oxygen, an oxygen scavenger is strongly not recommended up to 10
ppb of oxygen.
The water quality of feedwater is very importance because of direct impact on
steam purity.

Sampling/Monitoring Recommendation
The water chemistry should be monitored on-line basis.
It should be required to monitor cation conductivity and sodium content of
feedwater in order to detect condenser leakage.
Typical sample points should be included,
- Feedwater line
- Evaporator
The followings are measured by online or grab for trouble shooting.
- Caution conductivity
- pH
- Sodium
- Iron
The length of sampling line should be kept as short as to avoid complications of
time difference on sampling point and analyzer.

It can be accommodated in the

control loops.

9.7.1

Caution
Copper Deposits
Copper alloys at the upstream of feed water inlet are not permitted.

All ferrous

metallurgy should be specified for feed water system including condenser, piping
and valve.
When copper components are present in the condenser and feedwater system, it
should be noted and then it should be adjusted pH and chemicals under the
specialists responsibility.
9.7.2

Hide Out
When select the phosphate treatment on drum water, over feeding of phosphate
during start up and shut down is reacting with magnetite on the tube and that
phosphate gouging is a potential possibility.
Especially, phosphate is not permitted to feed during duct burner firing because of
increasing heat flux on HP evaporator.

9.7.3

FAC
Key parameters for FAC are pH, temperature, oxygen concentration, fluid velocity
and flow geometry.
It is known that LP evaporator bend tube and LP drum internal and LP evaporator
upper header are susceptible for FAC in case of low pH conditions, low oxygen
level of drum water.
9.4 to 9.8 of pH value should be maintained to prevent FAC. The reducing type of
oxygen scavenger should be prohibited under less than 10 ppb of oxygen content.

1 HRSG OPERATION DESCRIPTION


This section describes operating procedures of the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG)
for Qurayyah Combined Power Plant. They include the proper operating sequences for the
HRSG and auxiliary equipment furnished. Refer to the relevant Piping and Instrumentation
Diagram.
Because the steam generator is only one part of the power plant, and all equipment must
operate in unison, specific procedures and detailed values for the equipment not furnished are
not included in this document. As operating experience is gained and the controls are finetuned, the characteristics and operating requirements of the unit will become apparent.

1.1 Completion of maintenance prior to operation


Check the HRSG to make sure that all maintenance work has been completed, all tools and
debris have been removed, the handhole plates and manhole covers have been installed and
secured, and all access doors have been installed and secured.
Check all relevant clearance certificates to be obtained and all work permits cancelled and
signed out.
Check the safety valves to see if the gags have been removed, the lifting levers have been
replaced, and the valves are not fouled or hung up.

1.2 Initial filling


This section describes the recommended procedure for filling an empty HRSG with water. If the
unit is hot, the unit has to be cooled first to avoid severe temperature strains (Max. allowable
temperature difference is approximately 50 deg.C). Also, since deposits of solids in a
superheater can cause corrosion or inhibit heat transfer, introduction of solids by carryover of
boiler water from the drum during filling should be avoided.

1.3 HRSG Start Up


All system (GT, ST, BOP and Auxiliary system) required for proper operation of the Heat
Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) must be ready prior to initiation of unit start.
The HRSG outputs (steam evaporation rates, superheated temperatures, pressures, energy
outputs at HP, IP and LP steam outlets, respectively) varies according to available exhaust heat
from the gas turbines.
1.3.1

Overall HRSG Start up Operation Sequence

Most operations normally required to establish a HRSG ready to start condition after an
overnight shutdown can be accomplished from the central control room. These operations are
remote manual actions by the control room operator. Some activity, such as HRSG water filling
and manual valve alignments for HRSG ready to start condition requires local operator actions.
1) HRSG start up preparation work for HRSG Ready to Start Condition
2) HRSG start Commend initiated by Operator
3) HRSG purge
4) GT start, load up and exhaust gas temperature matching with HRSG thermal status
5) Diverter Damper step by step opening
6) HRSG steam side drain valve operation
7) HRSG steam start up vent operation
8) Steam bypass system operation
9 HRSG steam pressure increasing within allowable range
10) HRSG steam introduction to steam header
11) GT load increase to desired load

1.3.2

HRSG Ready to Start Condition

Certain conditions must be satisfied prior to the initiations of the HRSG start. All system (Gas
turbine, Steam turbine, Mechanical Auxiliary/BOP equipments and etc) required for the plant
operation must be ready for operation. Followings are HRSG Ready to Start Condition.

HRSG Start up Sequence

The HRSG can be started up using either of the two following methods which can be selected
by the operating personnel;
1) HRSG start up with GT start up.
In this case, GT and HRSG are started up commonly with use of the diverter damper system.
2) HRSG start up at GT operation.
In this case, the HRSG is started up by using the diverter damper while the GT is in operation.
Before switch over from simple cycle to combined cycle mode, the GT has to be shutdown (if

Start

Plant Purge

Action
Operator initiate HRSG start command
The purging concept involves that the bypass stack and the HRSG
will be purged prior every GT start (ignition) for both simple cycle and
combined cycle start. Once the purge has been completed, it remains
set in memory if the GT has remained in continuous operation with no
trips. Provided that the purge completed remains set, GT exhaust flow
can re-enter HRSG without re-purge for the HRSG start.
HRSG and bypass stack side shall be purged by GT with proper
rotation/minute for purge and by change the position of the diverter
damper. The purge duration is determined according to NFPA
requirement. The minimum purge duration shall be min. 5 minutes or
five (5) purge volume changes, whichever longer. According to the
NFPA requirements, the exhaust gas temperature for purging
purpose is selected at least 56 deg.C below the lowest autoignition
temperature of the fuel. In this project, the purge will be done by
spinning of the GT without firing, thus exhaust gas temperature for
purging process will be ambient air
After HRSG has been purged, the diverter damper is moved to HRSG
closed position.

simple cycle mode, the GT load decrease and subsequently the GT
exhaust gas temperature reduced to the required condition for the gas
temperature matching.
The GT gas temperature set point is determined which depends on
the thermal status of HRSG (e.g HP Supereheater Header Metal
temperature). For cold start up of HRSG (e.g, the HP SH Header
metal temperature < 370 deg.C), GT exhaust gas temperature of
approximately 370 deg.C shall be considered as maximum limit. But
for hot or warm start-up of HRSG, in order to avoid unnecessary
cooling down of the HRSG, GT exhaust gas temperature shall be
selected at HP final superheater header metal temperature (HAH-90CT-008~015, average value) plus 50 deg.C.

Diverter damper
operation

After GT exhaust gas temperature is achieved at temperature set


point, the diverter damper can be opened as following step.
1) Diverter damper to be opened with 20% exhaust flow for a
minimum of 10 minutes (Damper opening angle approximately at 35
degree, measured from HRSG full close position).
2) Diverter damper to be opened with 50% exhaust flow for a
minimum of 10 minutes and until HP,RH,LP steam bypass
system/Condenser vacuum available (Damper opening angle
approximately at 70 degree, measured from HRSG full close
position).
3) Diverter damper to be opened with 100% exhaust flow (Damper
opening angle at 90 degree, measured from HRSG full close
position).

Action

GT and HRSG

In line with the admitting of the GT exhaust gas, the metal of the heat

load up

transfer surface is heated up and steam is formed in the evaporators,


which leads to a partly water ejection from the evaporators into the
drums.
After HP-steam temperature approaches the GT exhaust gas
temperature and as soon as the HP drum level has stabilized at
operating level and a sufficient amount of HP steam (Min. 25%of
MCR flow and 40barg of HP Drum pressure) is produced, the GT
output and hence also the exhaust gas temperature can be increased
with the pressure gradients allowed for the thick-walled and/or high
temperature loaded components such as HP-drum.
The allowable HP-drum pressure change rate are as follows;
* 0% to 30% Pressure range; 2 bar/minute.
* 30% to 60% Pressure range; 3 bar/minute.
* 60% to 100% Pressure range; 5 bar/minute.
In addition, if the wall temperature difference exceeds limiting value in
the following component, the GT load up would stop to reduce
thermal stress.
* Allowable Wall differential temperature (HAD-90-CT-001 vs HAD90-CT-002) at HP drum lower side ; 50 deg.C
* Allowable Wall differential temperature (HAD-90-CT-003 vs HAD90-CT-004) at HP drum upper side ; 50 deg.C

For starting the HRSG from a warm or hot condition, steps are the same with above sequence.
1.3.5

Succeeding HRSG Start up

The lag or last HRSG is started in a similar manner to the lead HRSG.
After first GT, HRSG and ST are on-line s lead, succeeding GT and HRSG can be started as lag
by operators initiation of remaining GT and HRSG start up. When succeeding GT and HRSG is
initiated for start up, HRSG should already be prepared for start up conditions as summarized in
clause 2.3.2 HRSG Ready to Start Condition above. With the start of HRSG, steam flow will be
established through HRSG steam line. AS ST and Condenser are on-line, produced steam can
be dumped to the condenser through the steam bypass system until each steam can be
equalized to steam lines of leading HRSG.

1.4 HRSG Load Operation


The HRSG outputs (steam evaporation rates, superheated temperatures, pressures, energy
outputs) vary according to available exhaust heat from the gas turbines. The HRSG is operated
following GT load according to the plant demand.

Steam production increase from the part load to base load is performed by increasing the load
of the GT. HRSG runback is achieved by GT load decrease.
The HRSG operating pressure is operated in natural sliding pressure mode between 100% and
40% of rated pressure depending on the steam mass flow into the steam turbine. In part load
operation, the HRSGs are oeperated in fixed pressure mode, means the pressure is controlled
by the steam turbine throttle oeperation. For the detail of the plant operation characteristic,
please refer to the Heat and Mass Balance Calculation [Doc.no. EE-00001].
The HRSG load is dierectly depending on the GT operation. Generally, 30% of MCR steam flow
load operation as minimum is recommended at which the drum level is relatively stable.

1.5 HRSG Shut down


Normal shut down is organized to leave the steam cycle pressurized and hot. This is done to
obtain the fastest restart possible and to minimize life expenditure for the plant. The HRSG shut
down is performed by the diverter damper close to HRSG as following actions.
1.5.1

2 HRSG CONTROL DESCRIPTION


HRSG equipment is controlled from the DCS placed in the central control room. The following
control schemes are envisaged in the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) control system.

2.1 Drum level control


The drum level control maintains a drum level set point by controlling the flow of feedwater
through a valve arrangement. Provision is also made to compensate for shrink and swell of
water in the drum and for a feed forward element derived from balancing water into the drum
and steam out of the drum.

The drum level/feed water control comprises of a single element drum level control operating on
low load operation and a three element control operating on full load operation. The single

The median value of the drum level (HAD-90-CL-001/002/003) is compensated for the drum
pressure (HAD-90-CP-001/002/003). The compensated output is selected for load less than 25%

points namely high start up level set point and low start up level set point. The set point should
be changed according to the drum pressure increasing.
HP drum start up level set point;
* Low start up level set point; -550mm from C.L. (If HP drum pressure is lower than 40 barg)
* High start up level set point; -200mm from C.L. (If HP drum pressure is higher than 40 barg)
These set points will switch over to normal set point from start up set point when load above 25%
MCR.
* HP drum normal set point; 0mm from C.L
Three element control;
This control is used for load greater than 25% MCR. It is based on three parameters namely
drum level, steam flow and feed water flow.
The steam flow (LBA-90-CF-001/002) is applied as a feed forward signal to the drum level
controller and the output of the controller is given as the set point for the feed water flow
controller. The feedwater flow (LAB-90-CF-001/002) is added to the controller as a feedback
signal.
The valves controlling the water feed to the drum are in a two valve arrangement consisting of a
30% valve for low load and a 100% valve for full load control.
The low load and full load control valves are arranged in a parallel split-range manner to provide
good flow control through a wide range of control valve pressure drop. The low load valve
handles the smaller flows until it is nearly fully open then full load valve opens to handle the
large flows. The opposite action occurs on decreasing flow. Generally, the flow capacity ratio of
the two valves is chosen to ensure that the drum level control remains as single-element during
start-up and the transfer of control valves occurs after three-element drum level control has
commenced.
For increasing flow, the full load control valve opens when the low load control valve is almost
fully open (approximately 90% stoke). After the transfer, the low load valve is fully closed
ensuring that the full load valve will not operate near to its seat. For decreasing flow, the low
load valve is opened and the larger valve is fully closed at the transfer point.
A motorized isolation valve on the inlet of each control valve is supplied to isolate the control
valve during shutdown/maintenance period and automatically opened when HRSG start initiated.

controller and the output of the controller is given as the set point for the feed water flow
controller. The feedwater flow (LAB-94-CF-001/002) is added to the controller as a feedback

The drum level/condensate water control comprises of a single element drum level control
operating on low load operation and a three element control operating on full load operation.
The single element control is envisaged for controlling the drum level during low load up to 25%
MCR. The three element control is envisaged for drum level control from 25% MCR to 100%
MCR.
Valve composition ;
* Inching type Motorized bypass valve (LCA-91-AA-001), Control valve (LCA-91-AA-081)
Single element control;
The median value of the drum level (HAD-97-CL-001/002/003) is compensated for the drum
pressure (HAD-97-CP-001/002/003). The compensated output is selected for load less than 25%
MCR (condensate flow). The measured level is compared with the set value and the error is
applied to the controller for positioning the level control valve. The drum level shall have two
start up level set points namely high start up level set point and low start up level set point. The
set point should be changed according to the drum pressure increasing.

* Low start up level set point; -100mm from C.L. (If LP drum pressure is lower than 2 barg)
* High start up level set point; +300mm from C.L. (If LP drum pressure is higher than 2 barg)
These set points will switch over to normal set point from start up set point when load above 25%
MCR (condensate flow).
* LP drum normal set point; +500mm from C.L
Three element control;
This control is used for load greater than 25% MCR (condensate flow). It is based on three
parameters namely drum level, summed drum out flow and condensate flow.
The summed drum out flow [LP steam flow(LBD-90-CF-001/002) + HP feedwater flow(LAB-90CF-001/002) + IP feedwater flow(LAB-94-CF-001/0020)] is applied as a feed forward signal to
the drum level controller and the output of the controller is given as the set point for the
condensate flow controller. The condensate flow (LCA-90-CF-001/002) is added to the controller
as a feedback signal.
In the event of failure of the control valve, the inching type motorized bypass valve can be used
by the manual signal from the control room.

The HP superheater steam desuperheater function is to control HRSG superheater outlet steam
temperature within allowable condition. The set point is 567 deg.C.
Valve composition ;
* Motorized block valve (LAE-90-AA-001), Control valve (LAE-90-AA-081)
* Inching type motorized bypass valve (LAE-90-AA-002)

To ensure that all water droplets are evaporated and to minimize potential temperature shocks
resulting from the introduction of spray water, the desuperheater is placed at the inlet to the HP
final superheater. The amount of spray water must be limited to avoid driving the HP final
superheater inlet steam into the saturation region.
HP superheater steam desuperheater control utilizes two controllers in a cascade arrangement
namely "outer" controller and inner controller. The setpoint of outer controller is the desired
HRSG HP superheater outlet steam temperature and the feedback is the HRSG HP
superheater outlet steam temperature (LBA-90-CT-001/002/003) measured at the outlet of the
final superheater. The set point is 567 deg.C at the final superheater outlet.

The output of the outer controller is the temperature setpoint of the inner controller. This
controller positions the HP desuperheater spray water control valve. The feedback of the inner
controller is the steam temperature (HAH-90-CT-002/003/004) at the inlet to the final
superheater. In effect, the outer controller controls the final HRSG HP superheater outlet steam
temperature by adjusting the temperature of the steam entering the final stage of superheating.
Since there is a possibility of overspraying and forcing steam to saturation temperature at the
inlet of the HP final superheater, the setpoint of the inner controller has a minimum limit of the
present saturation temperature plus a margin (+28 deg.C). The saturation temperature is
determined from the saturation temperature from HP drum pressure measurements (HAD-90CP-001/002/003).
This steam temperature control is permissive only when the HP steam flow (LBA-90-CF001/002) is higher than 20% of MCR flow to avoid any steam condensation in steam path.
A motorized block valve is placed in the spray water line in series with a spray control valve. The
block valve is automatically closed whenever the desuperheater control is not enabled and
automatically opened when enabled.
In the event of failure of the control valve, the inching type bypass valve can be used by the
manual signal from the control room.

The HRSG is equipped with IP steam pressure control valve and steam stop MOV in series to
Cold Reheater line. Large, rapid variations in IP drum pressure can cause rapid variations in the
drum level. Pressure change causes the void fractions in the evaporator and drum to enlarge
(on rapid pressure decay) or shrink (on rapid pressure rise), causing the water in the drum to
rise above or fall below NWL. Maintaining stable IP drum pressure greatly helps maintaining a
stable IP drum level.
Valve composition ;
* Control valve (LBA-95-AA-081), IP steam stop MOV (LBA-95-AA-002)
HRSG start-up shall be initiated with closed control valve. Then valve operation will be initiated
as followings.
Open control valve to 10 % when the IP steam pressure (LBA-95-CP-001/002) above 3 barg
and hold this position until the IP steam pressure reaches 10 barg. Then the control valve shall
modulate to maintain this pressure (10 barg).
With this control, the control valve will open continuously to full open position when the cold
reheat steam line is pressurized above 10 barg.

Another function is that, during plant transient operation, if the IP steam pressure drops too fast,
the pressure decay rate will be controlled by acting to close this control valve. The control valve
shall control the IP steam pressure (LBA-95-CP-001/002) decay rate within -0.1bar/s.
The IP steam stop MOV will be opened from the initial start up and always open during
operation. During shutdown period, this valve can be closed when IP steam PCV is completely
closed.

The pegging steam supply has the following functions. And this control is active only if the IP
drum pressure is higher than 10 barg.
* Mainly Oil firing operation case, It is expected that insufficient flue gas energy available at the
LP evaporator to maintain the LP drum pressure high enough to prevent gas side corrosion.
Pegging steam from the IP steam line maintains a minimum LP drum pressure and a resultant
LP drum water temperature. The set point (3 barg) is compared with the LP drum pressure
(HAD-97-CP-001/002/003). The difference is the input signal for the controller of the control
valve.
* When the feedwater pump suction is taken from the LP drum, pegging steam prevents a rapid
decay of LP drum pressure to limit the generation of steam voids in the drum and BFP suction
line water. If LP drum pressure drops too fast, the pressure decay rate will be controlled by
providing pegging steam. The pegging steam control valve shall control the LP drum pressure
(HAD-97-CP-001/002/003) decay rate within -0.007 bar/s.
The motorized isolation valve at the inlet of control valve is supplied to prevent any possible
leakage of the control valve. Also this valve will provide a tight isolation from the IP steam
system when no demand of steam supply. The motorized isolation valve is automatically closed
whenever the control is not enabled and automatically opened when enabled.
The motorized isolation valve will be protectionally closed when the LP drum pressure (HAD-97CP-001/002/003) is higher than 7 barg.

The condensate preheater (CPH) is located outlet of HRSG and heated by exhaust gas before
leaving the main stack. The CPH inlet temperature control is to raise the temperature of the
condensate entering the CPH to avoid flue gas corrosion in the CPH tube. A temperature control
valve modulates the discharge flow of the CPH recirculation pumps to recirculate hot water from
the outlet of the CPH to the inlet of the CPH where it mixes with cold condensate flow.
The design Gas fuel composition used for the plant operation indicates zero sulfur concentration.
The fixed set point of 70 deg.C is enough to prevent corrosion for Gas fuel operation. When the
higher sulfur content fuel used, such as Oil operation, the CPH will be completely bypassed.
Composition ;
* 2X100% Recirculation pumps (LCA-92/93-AP-002)
* Temperature control valve(LCA-94-AA-081)
One of recirculation pump should be placed into service before starting the HRSG.
The fixed set point, 70deg.C is compared with the CPH inlet temperature (LCA-90-CT-003/004)
signal. The difference is the input signal for the controller of the control valve.

In addition to the above temperature control, following control for recirculation pumps protection
is also incorporated.
To prevent less flow operation of pumps, the recirculation system controls must limit the closure
of control valve when the recirculation pump flow reaches low flow set point (65,000 kg/hr). The
low flow set point would be slightly above the actual minimum flow of recirculation pumps. The
recirculation pump flow is measured using flow transmitter (LCA-94-CF-001/002) located at the
discharge of pump. The operation pump must be tripped and the stand by pump starts if the
measured pump flow falls to the minimum flow trip setting (60,000 kg/hr).
To prevent excessive flow from the pumps, the recirculation high flow set point (300,000 kg/hr)
would be set below the recirculation pump maximum allowable continuous flow in order to limit
the further opening of control valve when the recirculation pump flow approaches the high flow.
The operation pump must be tripped and the stand by pump starts if the pump flow equals or
exceeds the maximum allowable continuous flow setting (330,000 kg/hr).

The condensate preheater system is equipped with a condensate bypass system. The threeway valve sends condensate water flow to the condensate preheater and/or bypass around the
condensate preheater.
The three-way valve can be positioned to ;
* direct all condensate flow to the condensate preheater,
* direct all condensate flow through the condensate preheater bypass,
* direct any portion of the flow to either the preheater or the bypass around the condensate
preheater.

bypassed by 3-way valve in order to prevent possible flue gas corrosion in the CPH tube. The 3way valve can be positioned to full open to the CPH direction after steam bypass operation is
finished and all steam introduced into the steam turbine.
After then the subcool temperature control will be initiated as following.
The three-way valve is positioned to route a portion of the condensate flow to the condensate
preheater bypass as required to hold a minimum subcooling before entering the deaerator to
ensure an optimum deaeration process.
The function of this control is to maintain condensate temperature several degrees below
saturation temperature to achieve a good deaeration performance in the deaerator. It is
accomplished by 3-way valve valve to split the incoming condensate flow between the CPH and
a bypass around the CPH.
If the temperature difference between the saturation temperature calculated from the LP drum
pressure (HAD-97-CP-001/002/003) and the CPH outlet temperature (LCA-91-CT-001/002) is
lower than 8 deg.C, the 3-way valve will be opened partially into the bypass direction in order to
make a cold condensate bypass flow and therefore reduce the temperature of CPH outlet
condensate before entering the deaerator.
The CPH full bypass operation shall be required in some case. When the CPH recirculation
pumps are all failure longer than 10 minutes, the three-way valve is positioned in the fully-closed
position to the CPH, resulting in all the condensate flow bypassing the condensate preheater so
that the HRSG can be continuously operation without shut down.

For Oil firing Operation;


The 3-way valve is positioned to full open to bypass direction always.

2.8 Economizer and Condensate Preheater Pressure Control


The economizer/preheater pressure control is to prevent the buildup of high pressure due to
economizer/preheater water expansion within a bottle-up hot economizer/preheater when the
drum level control valve is closed and HRSG in service. The economizer/preheater pressure
control will prevent unnecessary lifting of the economizer/preheater safety valve.

5 HRSG Water Chemistry Requirements


The main objectives of water chemistry control are to insure the long term integrity of the
materials of construction and the successful operation of the water & steam cycle. The particular
types of chemical treatment may vary depending on many factors such as the variety of
materials, operating conditions, system design, etc.
These guidelines are generally in accordance with published guidelines from EPRI, VGB, ASME,
as well as ABMA (American Boiler Manufacturers Association).
