BA HIGH PRESSURE WATER

PUMP
3. Description of the system
1. Each BA HP water pump caters to the need for bottom ash disposal system.
2. There are three BA HP water pumps out of which maximum two will be working at a time. The BA
HP water pumps will be operated from the main PLC. One no. pressure indicator is provided to
monitor the pressure locally. For interlocking purpose one pressure switch is also provided at the
common header.
7. Equipments technical Details

 Now observe the vibration and temperature of pump and motor bearing.
 Periodically check ash water tank level and adjust water make up as per requirement.
 For any abnormalities record in logbook and inform shift in charge/operation in charge.

10. Shut Down Procedure

 Close the discharge valve up to (80 to 90%).

 Then stop the BA-HP water pump.
 Then after complete close the discharge valve.

11. TRIPPING CONDITION:

1. MCC Disturbance
2. Ash water level below 1 mtr.
3. Winding temperature more than 100 Deg C.
4. Vibration more than 4.5 mm/s.
14 . POINTS TO BE CHECKED BY OPERATOR IN EVERY SHIFT
 EQUIPMENT CLEANING
 PHYSICALLY VIBRATION CHECKING
 PHYSICALLY TEMPRATURE CHECKING
 OIL LEVEL AND GREASE CHECKING
15. CHECKING OF SYSTEM AFTER SHUT DOWN

 PHYSICALLY CHECK BOTTOM ASH HOPPER AFTER OPENING THE MAN

HOLE DOOR AS LIKE FOREIGN MATERIAL AFTER THAT CHECK THE
ROTATION OF CLINKER GRINDER IN FORWARD AND REVERSE DIRECTION.
 CHECK THE OIL LEVEL FREENESS.
 PHYSICALLY ALL VALVE CHECKING MANUALLY OPERATION THROUGH
PLC AS WELL
 FIRST ENSURE SLURRY AND ASH WATER SUMP CLEANING AND THEN FILL
THE SUMP.

 CHECK THE SEAL PRESSURE OF ALL DOME VALVE PHYSICALLY.

 CHECK THE LINE VACUUM AND SHUT OFF VACUUM OF ALL PASSES.
