India continues to depend largely on thermal route for its electricity generation. In addition to the utility boilers meant for power generation, there are large numbers of process steam boilers too. The components of a boiler mainly the pressure parts are continuously subjected to high temperature and pressure throughout their service life. Failure of any component while running not only leads to the loss of power generation, it poses threat to the safety of the surrounding working personnel. Thus safe running of a boiler is of prime importance. Healthiness of a boiler with respect to its fitness for the purpose is monitored by the Government statutory body like Inspectorate of Boilers on a regular basis. Condition assessment of the boiler pressure parts through Remnant Life Assessment (RLA) study is carried out to ascertain the healthiness. Based on the assessment report the Memorandum of Inspection Book of the respective boiler is updated by the concerned Inspectorate of Boilers. Central Power Research Institute (CPRI) setup in 1960 by the Government of India, functions asa National organization for applied research in power sector and also serves as an independent laboratory for testing and certification of power equipment. CPRI is a member of STL (Short Circuit Testing Liaison) of Europe. CPRI also provides consultancy services on various facets of power sector. CPRI has several research laboratories and testing facilities across the country engaged in different specialized fields. One such laboratory namely Thermal Research Centre (TRC) at Koradi, Nagpur, MS has been providing generation related services in the areas of condition monitoring, renovation, modernization and life extension of power plant equipments through diagnostic and life extension studies for achieving economy and reliability in power systems over past two decades. Amongst its technical activities, TRC has successfully carried out Remnant Life Assessment (RLA) studies of more than 100 utility boilers of capacities ranging from 50 to 500 MW for both State Electricity Boards (SEB) and National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC). The RLA study is conducted as per the laid down stringent guidelines of Indian Boiler Regulation (IBR). It is worth mentioning here that CPRI, TRC has achieved the prestigious recognition of “Well known Remnant Life Assessment Organisation’ by the Central Boiler Board (CBB), New Delhi. In the light of the above, CPRI, TRC, Nagpur in association with the Boiler Inspectorate Chhattisgarh, Raipur is conducting a two-day workshop on Remnant Life Assessment (RLA) study of boilers to bring in a focused awareness amongstthe stake holders.THEME OF THE WORKSHOP: There are various types of damage mechanisms prevailing in a boiler, Prominent amongst those are corrosion, erosion, hydrogen damage (embrittlement), short term over heating, creep etc. Boiler tube leakages occur due to any of these mechanisms. Periodic assessment of the boiler pressure parts helps in preventing forced outages, improving availability, proactive maintenance planning. Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR) 1950 stipulates guidelines for conducting RLA study of boiler. Condition assessment of pressure parts is carried out by deploying specific Non-destructive Test (NDT) methods specified therein. In this workshop, it has been planned to discuss the followingtopics. + Philosophy of Remnant Life Analysis (RLA)-an Introduction + Damage Mechanisms of boiler pressure parts + Amendments in Indian Boiler Regulation (IBR) Act 1923 and Regulations 1950 + Methodology for carrying out RLA study + Destructive tests + Role of Non-destructive Test (NDT) in RLA Assessment of damage in high temperature ee * components * Creep and metallurgical degradation * Oxide scale thickness based RLA * Case studies of RLA WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This workshop will be useful for Plant's Executives, Engineers, R&D Organisations, Manufacturers of Equipments, Testing and Consulting Organisations and Professionals of NDT.VENUE AND DATE: The Workshop willbe organised at Hotel Babyloninn, Jail Road, Raipur-492 001 (Chhattisgarh).
