7.0 NON-DESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION AND STRESS RELIEVING
7.1 The Erector shall provide all necessary equipment and manpower to
perform all required non-destructive testing as required by the Code or the
Purchaser.
7.2 As a minimum requirement, the Erector shall 100% Magnetic Particle Test
(MT) all field welds at corner connections on major structural frames. If
other more stringent non-destructive examination methods are required
(as required in high seismic areas, and/or as specified on N/E drawings),
the Erector shall perform them.
7.3 The Erector shall provide all stress relieving equipment and all necessary
materials and specialists as may be required to properly stress relieve the
welds as required by the Code and the Purchaser.
7.4 The Erector shall perform the stress relieving as required by Code and
maintain charts of time versus temperature gradients, copies of which
shall be submitted to the Purchaser. A copy of radiographic results and
procedures will be forwarded to the Purchaser. Purchaser will forward all
documentation to N/E that is to be included in the Master Document
Package.
7.5 In addition to the Mandatory Code Requirements for non-destructive

examination of welds, it is recommended that the following additional
radiography be applied:
1) At least 5% of all full penetration pressure part butt welds not

requiring radiography by the ASME Code, shall be 100%
radiographed.
This should be implemented by radiographing 5% of this category

of welds deposited by each welder.
In the event of a defect being identified in the prescribed 5%, a

further 5% of welds deposited by that welder shall be radiographed.
Should additional defects be identified, all welds deposited by that
welder shall be radiographed.
N/E JOB NO. 113100
PAGE 7
This category of welds normally includes butt welds in the

downcomer & riser piping, and butt welds in the boiler proper and
boiler external piping.
2) Exhaust stack shall be erected, welded and inspected per the

requirements of ASME STS-1 and any local applicable codes.
8.0 UNLOADING, HANDLING AND STORAGE
8.1 Equipment to be installed shall be received, unloaded and stored by the

Erector in areas designated by the Purchaser. The Erector’s work shall
include moving the equipment from the storage area to the point of
installation or as otherwise specified. The cost to unload and transport all
items to the point of installation from the nearest railsiding shall be at no
extra cost to N/E. It is the Erector’s responsibility to unpack or uncrate all
equipment. This includes all protective materials/structures included with
equipment furnished.
8.2 The Erector shall unload, erect or store the equipment without delay.
Detention and demurrage charges, associated with failure to off-load rail
cars at the jobsite in the days allotted by the rail service, will be billed to
the Purchaser. Erector must notify the railroad immediately of cleaned
railcars to avoid unnecessary charges to the Purchaser. All deliveries,
unloading and transporting of equipment shall be coordinated through the
Purchaser to avoid interference with other operations. The Erector will
ensure that end-to-end support of the modules is sufficient during
transportation. If restraints are needed to ensure the integrity of the
modules during travel on steep grades, the Erector will install them as
required. If modules are stored, refer to the Module Storage
Recommendations drawing located in the “Miscellaneous” section of this
manual.
8.3 The Erector shall be responsible for the care and custody of the
equipment received. All N/E furnished equipment arriving at the railsiding
or site shall be checked by a representative of the Purchaser and turned
over to the Erector in good condition. The Erector shall be responsible
thereafter for the equipment until it is installed and accepted by the
Purchaser.
8.3.1 Any material shortages which conflict with Nooter/Eriksen Shipping

List must be identified and reported to N/E by the Purchaser in
writing within two (2) days of receipt of material. If inspection
N/E JOB NO. 113100
PAGE 8
requires opening of protective shipping containers, it is the

Purchaser’s responsibility to repack and weather protect all items
after inspection.
8.3.2 If damaged materials or equipment is received, N/E shall be notified

in writing and with verifiable photographs or video provided within
(2) days of receipt of material.
8.3.3 Materials or equipment received, with damage incurred in transit,

shall be indicated on the Bill of Lading (BOL) when the material or
equipment receiving ticket is signed. Failure to indicate damages
on BOL will result in the repairs being the Erector’s responsibility.
8.3.4 The following shipping information will be marked or permanently

attached on each major component or package received:
a. Nooter/Eriksen Job Number/Unit Number (on N/E
General Arrangement Drawings).
b. Component Name.
c. Shipping Weight in Pounds.
d. Package Dimensions (on boxes only).
8.4 The Erector shall keep a written record of all equipment and materials
received at the jobsite and perform regular inspections and maintenance
during storage. These records shall be made available to the Purchaser
and N/E at all times.
8.4.1 All materials and equipment shall be stored in weather protected

enclosures or buildings unless they are essentially unaffected
by weather with prior Purchasers approval. All enclosures or
buildings necessary for storage shall be provided by the Erector.
8.4.2 All ducting or casing, with internal insulation, should be stored in

a position that would allow drainage of any water from the
insulation. Also, protective material, located at casing field
seams, should be left in place to protect the insulation, until field
seam installation begins.
8.4.3 Secondary casing panels are typically shipped with the internal
liner facing upward. The attachment points for tailing these
panels are located on the casing (downward) side of the panel.
It is the Erector’s responsibility to exercise caution in offloading
N/E JOB NO. 113100
PAGE 9
and rotating these panels for installation, so that there is no

damage.
8.4.4 All piping must remain capped during storage and erection, in
order to preserve cleanliness.
8.4.5 Coils and drums are shipped with an internal vapor phase
corrosion inhibitor added prior to sealing nozzles with plastic
caps and tape. To maximize the protection against corrosion
and contamination, coil and drum nozzle caps and tape should
be maintained and remain intact as long as possible. It is
acceptable, however, to remove caps on lower header nozzles
temporarily to facilitate module draining during erection.
8.4.6 Valves and instrumentation are to be stored indoors.
9.0 MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT FURNISHED BY THE ERECTOR
The Erector shall furnish all items required for the work not specifically being
furnished by N/E. These items shall include, but not be limited to, labor saving
devices; special equipment and technicians for stress relieving; temporary
winterizing or freeze protection during erection for drainable and non-drainable
parts of the HRSG; hydrotest equipment. The Erector shall furnish all necessary
tools and construction equipment such as transporters, rigging equipment,
welding equipment, consumables, trucks, cranes, etc., necessary to perform the
work.
10.0 HRSG ERECTION
10.1 The Erector shall plan the erection of the HRSG taking into account N/E’s
recommended field erection procedures and specific requirements from
detailed project drawings, as listed in the Nooter/Eriksen Drawing List.
10.2 Erection Procedures are found with the reference documents at the back
of this manual in Section 15.0.
Note: Erector must comply with any special erection and storage requirements
provided by manufacturers/designers of specialty equipment such as, but
not limited to:
A) Duct Burners
B) Pumps
N/E JOB NO. 113100
PAGE 10
C) Expansion Joints
D) Etc.
10.3 These procedures are provided as a guide for field erection based upon
N/E’s design of the system. Deviation from these procedures is not
recommended unless otherwise indicated on N/E’s Project Specific
Erection Drawings. If the Erector chooses to follow other procedures and
difficulty arises or damage occurs, the Erector will assume all
responsibility and all associated additional costs. N/E reserves the right to
review all changes to the procedure.
10.4 Caution: Certain components of this HRSG have been fabricated

using 91 Chrome materials (SA-213 T91, SA-335 P91, SA-387 Grade
P91, SA-234 F91, etc). Check your project specific drawings for the
exact location of this material.
This material has special welding, fabrication and heat treatment

requirements. Compliance with these requirements is necessary to ensure
the proper life of the component. Welding (including tack welding and
welding of temporary attachments) must be controlled at all times. Experts
should be consulted in developing the necessary welding procedures; all
welders must be qualified per ASME Section IX using Alloy 91 materials.
Proper control of the heating of the material (preheat, heat input of

welding, post heating, cooling and post weld heat treatment) must be
maintained at all times. It is recommended that testing after PWHT be
performed to verify that the proper micro structure has been acquired by
the appropriate welding/heat treat process. All weldments must be cooled
to below 200F (93C) prior to the performance of post weld heat
treatment.
Exposure of “as weld” (prior to the performance post weld heat treatment)
weldments to environmental elements is to be limited. Protection shall be
provided to prevent direct exposure to moisture.
Special care is to be taken to reduce the amount of additional stress when

moving any “as weld” weldments.
Use of the DC prod method of magnetic particle testing (MT) is prohibited.
This material must not be exposed to an open flame (flame impingement).

N/E JOB NO. 113100
PAGE 11
Preheating to 400F (204C) of the material is to be done for all thermal

operations, including welding, tack welding, thermal cutting, gouging, etc.
All arc strikes not in the welding preparation zone must be ground and
verified by non-destructive examination (NDE) as not being detrimental to
the material.
When welding P91 to P22 material, N/E recommends that P91 welding
consumables are used.
Failure to comply with these cautions may void the Nooter/Eriksen

Warranty.
10.5 Freeze Protection

Any piping or parts of the equipment that may collect water and freeze
should be heat traced and insulated. This includes areas that could
accumulate snow and ice, such as open top silencers, safety valve
discharge stacks, etc.
11.0 TESTING
11.1 HYDROSTATIC TESTING
After field assembly, each pressure level of the HRSG and any interconnecting
piping within the ASME Code boundary must be hydrotested by the assembler
and witnessed by their Authorized Inspector (AI).
Additional hydrotests may be necessary during the life of the HRSG if any
alterations or repairs are performed within ASME Code boundaries.
The following information is provided to help protect the HRSG before and after
hydrostatic tests.
CAUTION: NOOTER/ERIKSEN DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF

PNEUMATIC TESTS IN LIEU OF HYDROSTATIC TESTS. HYDROSTATIC
TESTS, WHEN CONDUCTED PROPERLY, ARE A SAFE METHOD TO TEST
FABRICATED EQUIPMENT BEFORE OPERATION. DUE TO THE INHERENT
DANGER ASSOCIATED WITH A FAILURE UNDER PRESSURE FROM
COMPRESSED GAS OR AIR, PRESSURIZING WITH AIR OR GAS CAN BE
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
N/E JOB NO. 113100
PAGE 12
Verify that all instruments are isolated to prevent damage from over
pressurization.
The HRSG components must not be exposed to pressures exceeding 1.5 times
the MAWP.
Review hydrotest procedures in the pressure safety valve manufacturer's

manual. For hydrotest pressures that exceed design pressure, the valves must
be isolated (pancaked or removed and replaced by blind flanges) from the test
pressure. When safety valve design pressures will not be exceeded during
hydrotest, some operators have successfully gagged the valves, but
Nooter/Eriksen does not recommend this procedure.
CAUTION: USE OF SAFETY VALVE "GAGS” WHEN HYDROSTATIC TEST

PRESSURES EXCEED DESIGN PRESSURES COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO THE VALVE.
Severe corrosion can occur when inappropriate water is used for the hydrotest.
N/E recommends the following:
 Demineralized, deaerated water or polished is recommended.
 If demineralized water is not available, potable water may be used

provided all of the following are met:
a. Water source must be flushed and proven clean prior to discharge into
the boiler.
b. Water is to be filtered prior to first fill for hydrotest.
c. The water is to be sampled and tested prior to use. Testing shall be
conducted for pH, silica, iron, chloride, etc., for reference.
d. Water samples are to be taken prior to filling the boiler and during
draining, and maintained for reference.
e. Water must be drained immediately after hydrotest is complete.
 The hydrotest water, whether demineralized and deaerated or acceptable

potable water, must have the pH adjusted to 9.0 as a minimum
 Diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA) oxygen scavenger should be added to

hydrotest water to reduce oxygen concentration to 2 to 7 ppb.
 Chemicals should be added in a manner that provides thorough mixing.

N/E JOB NO. 113100
PAGE 13
 If stainless steel parts are exposed to hydrotest media, chlorine content

must not exceed 30 ppm or these parts should be removed for the
hydrotest, if possible.
 Providing a high capacity hydrotest pump to allow filling the HRSG as

quickly as possible will provide the best results in expelling air from the
system. All vent valves should be open during filling to allow air to escape
the system.
 If a potential for freezing weather exists, the unit should be filled with the
warmest water available. (Note, however, that ASME Code defines metal
and water temperatures in PG99. This should be consulted for proper
temperatures.) Interior heating or other precautions may be necessary to
prevent freeze damage.
 After the test, the HRSG must be properly laid up to prevent damage from
corrosion or freezing. Unless water treated specifically for lay up was
used during the hydrotest and will be chemically maintained over the lay
up period, the HRSG must be drained and laid up dry within 24 hours.
(See the Nooter/Eriksen Lay Up recommendations.)
 If the HRSG will be drained, proper precautions must be taken to insure

that all water is removed from the unit. (See the Nooter/Eriksen draining
recommendations.)
 Stops on all spring cans should be removed after the field Hydrotest.
 All valves have been tested by the manufacturer to ASME B16.34 or API
598 requirements for pressure boundary and seat leak tightness. N/E will
warrant any leaking/seating issues on all N/E supplied valves through
HRSG hydrotesting. Any drain valve leakage that occurs after HRSG
hydrostatic testing has proved the valves were supplied as leak tight, is
the responsibility of the purchaser/owner and will not be considered as a
warranty issue by N/E.
CAUTION: HYDROTEST WATER LEFT IN THE HRSG CAN DO DAMAGE BY

FREEZING OR CORROSION.
Note: N/E will not accept any liability resulting from the particular chemistry of the
hydrotest water.
N/E JOB NO. 113100
PAGE 14
12.0 PAINTING
The inner liner of the Nooter/Eriksen casing design system is exposed to

turbulence and vibration forces from the gas turbine exhaust. The liner has to be
securely attached to the cold casing. This is accomplished by the use of pins
and/or other components. Since these parts must be attached directly to the
outer casing, a certain amount of heat conduction is unavoidable and localized
areas of the external casing may exceed the average casing temperature.
In addition to the support system for the liner, there are liner/casing penetrations
and bearing points for coils and other internals, where there may be localized hot
spots on the outer casing. These hot spots may be noticed as small areas of
paint discoloration. These areas of higher casing temperature do not indicate
insulation breakdown and will not compromise the long term structural integrity of
the unit.
Paint discoloration and overall HRSG appearance is dramatically affected by the

choice of paint. Paints should have a continuous temperature rating of at least
450F. Other paint concerns could be a high curing temperature, color matching,
and VOC emissions. Nooter/Eriksen recommends using zinc rich primer. If a
topcoat is required, an aluminum colored silicone acrylic or alkyd is
recommended.

14.0 DISTRIBUTION GRID
The inlet may require a field installed distribution grid, based on a flow model

15.0 SHIPPING SEQUENCE
A shipping sequence will be issued on a periodic basis to keep everyone

informed on the latest delivery status of the HRSG components. This will be a
“working” document that will be updated with the latest information, including
changes in anticipated delivery dates, shipping status, rail car numbers, etc. The
delivery dates shown are not contractual dates but a reflection of the current
shipping information.
16.0 PIPING
This contract requires that the 3” Nooter/Eriksen standard field trim be eliminated
from the LB piping (except on all drum risers). Because of the elimination of the
standard field trim, Nooter/Eriksen is not subject to field backcharges for
mismatches on LB piping of less than 3” (i.e. if 3” field trim was left on, the field
could have made the adjustment to the pipe).
17.0 DRAIN VALVES
Block valves have been supplied on all drain lines. All valves have been hydro
tested by the manufacturer to ASME B16.34 or API 598 requirements for
pressure boundary and seat leak tightness. N/E will warrant any leaking/seating
issues on all N/E supplied valves through hydrostatic testing. It is the purchaser’s
responsibility to appropriately clean, flush and drain the HRSG during
commissioning and/or normal operation. Opening of drain valves with the unit
under pressure greater than 100 psig can be damaging to the valves. The
exception to this rule is the opening of superheater and reheater drains under
startup conditions to eliminate any condensate that may have accumulated. Any
drain valve leakage that occurs after hydrostatic testing has proved the valves
were supplied as leak tight, is the responsibility of the purchaser/operator and will
not be considered as a warranty issue by N/E.

1.2 All anchor bolts shall be located with the following tolerances. (Refer to
Drawing EP-01-01).
- From centerline of bolt group to HRSG centerline:  ¼”.

- Between adjacent anchor bolts with the group:  1/8”.
- From centerline of bolt group to HRSG longitudinal reference point:  ¼”.
- Anchor bolt projection:  ½”.
1.3 Anchor bolts shall be installed when possible using embedded sleeves (min
12” depth). This will assist in the installation of the equipment if either base
plate holes or anchor bolts are located out of tolerance.
1.4 A benchmark for elevation reference shall be provided at a location close to

the HRSG. The reference elevation shall be the Purchaser’s reference
elevation shown on N/E’s General Arrangement.
1.5 It is recommended not to grout (Note: Only non-shrink grout is to be used)

the foundation slide plates until after the HRSG columns have been set and
properly aligned. Pre-grouting, before setting of these columns, eliminates
the ability to adjust slide plates by shimming, which is normally required to
allow adjustment due to manufacturing tolerances of the HRSG. The
contractor has the flexibility to grout anytime after the HRSG columns have
been set and properly aligned. However, in any case, foundation slide plates
shall be sufficiently shimmed in the field to prevent damage to the HRSG
equipment or foundations. Design, manufacture and installation of the
foundations, shims and grout are not by Nooter/Eriksen.
1.6 Shear tabs, if shown at column base plate details, shall be installed after
column setting. Welding of the shear tabs shall be on three sides only. No
welding on the side of the tab next to column base plate is permitted.
2.0 The Erector of the HRSG shall be responsible for the following items:
2.1 The Erector shall fit each HRSG foundation support point with a slide plate.
Slide plates serve two functions. One, it allows the elevations of the top of
the slide plate to be adjusted through shimming. Second, provides a flat
surface on which the equipment can move due to temperature expansion.

ERECTION PROCEDURE SETTING
OF MAJOR HRSG COMPONENTS
1.1 Some components are provided to the field with lift lugs. These lugs are only
designed to lift the components as supplied. These lugs are not designed to lift
the components after any additional assembly by Field Erector. It is the Erector’s
responsibility to design and install any lugs required for lifting of pre-assembled
components. Each component shall be handled using N/E Erection Procedure
drawings. All rigging, spreader beams, shackles, etc. shall be furnished and
designed by the Erector to meet the expected loading and the requirements of
the procedures.
1.2 MODULAR
1.2.1 The following items shall be checked to insure that critical attachment
locations are maintained.
1.2.1.1 Set the top of the slide plates at the theoretical elevation.
1.2.1.2 Base plates shall be greased prior to installation. (Axle

quality grease is recommended). Check to make sure grease
fittings are installed. There should be a minimum of two (2)
per base plate, OR, if teflon slide packs are used, they must
be installed, including welding of the upper pack to the bottom
of the casing panel column base plate before setting of
panels.
1.2.2 Set primary casing panels and roof beams as defined in EP-04A.
1.2.2.1 Each column shall be set so that the inside flange is at the
theoretical distance from the centerline of the HRSG.
1.2.2.2 Erection tolerances are to be in accordance with EP-11. The

inside liner-to-liner dimensions should be checked and
documented against the corresponding module dimensions to
ensure that module can be set.
1.2.2.3 Unless otherwise stated on N/E’s Foundation Footprint

Drawing, anchor bolts shall be finger tight. All shall be
double-nutted.
1.2.3 Install secondary casing panels
1.2.3.1 Erection tolerances to be in accordance with EP-11. (Also

refer to EP-03 for rigging procedures.)

EP-02A PAGE 2
1.2.3.2 Upon completion of casing alignment, it is important to verify

casing opening dimensions where modules will be placed in
the HRSG. The inside liner-to-liner dimensions should be
checked and documented against the corresponding module
dimensions to ensure that module can be set. The pin row-
to-pin row dimension shall also be checked at the field seam
locations, to ensure that the field seam plates will fit.
1.2.3.3 Secondary casing panels are typically shipped with the

internal liner facing upward. The attachment points for tailing
these panels are located on the casing (downward) side of
the panel. It is the Erector’s responsibility to exercise caution
in offloading and rotating these panels for installation, so that
there is no damage.
1.2.4 After completion of all required welding, bolting and testing, it is

acceptable to set modules within the casing panel.
1.2.4.1 It is recommended not to grout the foundation slide plates

until after the HRSG columns have been set and properly
aligned. Pre-grouting, before setting of these columns,
eliminates the ability to adjust slide plates by shimming, which
is normally required to allow adjustment due to manufacturing
tolerances of the HRSG. The contractor has the flexibility to
grout anytime after the HRSG columns have been set and
properly aligned. However, in any case, foundation slide
plates shall be sufficiently shimmed in the field to prevent
damage to the HRSG equipment or foundations. Design,
manufacture and installation of the foundations, shims and
grout are not by Nooter/Eriksen.
1.2.5 After each primary casing panel is set, shimmed, checked for correct
elevation, and plumbed, the anchor bolt washers and nuts can be
installed. N/E provides enlarged holes in the base plates to facilitate
module installation. Anchor bolt washers (as detailed on N/E drawings)
are to be installed on the base plates as indicated on N/E foundation
detail drawings.
EP-02A PAGE 3
1.2.6 When setting the modules, the nozzle connections shall be checked
against the Nooter/Eriksen drawings for correct station location and
elevation to within (+) or (-) ¼”. Nozzle locations should be checked with
a transit. Do not rely on shop stenciling for module location. Refer
to Nooter/Eriksen field erection drawings for module configuration
and unit location.
1.2.7 Removal of temporary shipping wood/steel must be completed before

startup. See Procedure EP-05A.
1.2.8 For each successive module set, particular attention shall be given to
make sure that the modules location and elevation are maintained. The
nozzle orientation, as shown on Nooter/Eriksen drawings, shall be used
as the primary guide for the setting and the alignment of modules.
1.3 DUCTING/BREECHING
1.3.1 All ducting is furnished in either completed sections or in knocked down

panels. In each case the same check list of items required for module
setting shall be followed, except that the top of each column shall be
checked for correct station location and plumbness.
1.3.2 If the HRSG is provided with an SCR, the Erector is to verify that the
Catalyst Loading Opening is plumb and square so that the Catalyst
Loading Doors will fit properly (trial fitting the Catalyst Loading Doors is
recommended). This must be done prior to final welding of the SCR duct
frame corner connections.
1.4 EXHAUST STACK
1.4.1 Exhaust stack shall be erected, welded and inspected per the
requirements of ASME STS-1 and any local applicable codes.
1.4.2 All rigging, spreader beams, shackles, etc. shall be furnished by the
Erector to meet the requirements of the procedures.
1.4.3 Exhaust stacks are provided with either anchor chairs or an anchor bolt
ring. In either case, the stack is considered to be fixed against
longitudinal movement.
1.4.4 Anchor bolts shall straddle natural centerlines.

EP-02A PAGE 4
1.4.5 Unless otherwise stated on N/E’s Foundation Footprint Drawing, all

stack anchor bolts shall be torqued tight per AISC, since the stack is
considered fixed (See 1.6.2).
1.4.6 Prior to setting the stack, the Erector should prepare the concrete for
shim pack locations. Enough shim packs should be used to prevent
damage to the foundations.
1.4.7 Exhaust stack can come in one piece, two pieces, or multiple sections
depending on the diameter of the stack. If supplied K/D, orientation of
vertical seams will be found on fabricator’s drawings.
1.4.8 If the stack is provided with a damper, the damper shall be installed after
the bottom stack section is installed vertically on the stack foundation.
The damper shall not be attached to any stack cylinders prior to lifting
into final position, to prevent damage to the damper.
1.4.9 For thermal expansion between the last HRSG module and the fixed
exhaust stack, there will be an expansion joint. It is important to ensure
the following items are checked.
- Elevations of module and stack are at the proper locations.

- The centerline of the stack matches the centerline of the module.
- Module and stack are plumb within ¼”
- Distance between the module and stack maintained to within ¼” of
theoretical
1.4.10 It is recommended that the platforming required for EPA test ports be
installed just prior to lifting the stack sections.
1.4.11 Personnel protection at the elevated platforms can be installed prior to

erecting the stack if painting is not required. It is recommended that the
personnel protection at the base be installed after the stack has been set
and any painting requirements are completed.
1.5 REMOTE DRUMS
1.5.1 Normally the remote steam drums are supplied without lifting lugs
attached in the shops.
1.5.1.1 See Drawing EP-03-5 for details of erection procedure.

EP-02A PAGE 5
1.5.1.2 Slings shall not break against any nozzle or nozzle

reinforcement pad.
1.5.1.3 Softeners should be used with cable slings to prevent

damage to material.
1.5.2 Each drum will be fitted with at least two support saddles. Guides shall
be installed around the saddle, after the drum is in its final position to
limit any movement and for resisting lateral wind and earthquake
loadings.
1.5.3 Both drum saddle base plates shall be greased prior to installation.
(Axle quality grease is recommended). If other slide mechanisms are
used, greasing may be omitted. Check to make sure grease fittings are
installed. There should be a minimum of one (1) grease fitting per
saddle base plate.
1.5.4 When teflon slide packs are used at the drum saddle base plates, be
sure to attach the teflon slide packs to both the drum base plate and
support steel, prior to setting the drum on the support structure.
1.5.5 It is very important that the steam drums be located properly. The
difference in elevation of the drum centerline, from one end to the other,
shall be no greater than ½”.

LIFTING AND RIGGING
PROCEDURES
REVISION 0
1.1 This procedure is presented to provide an understanding of how Nooter/Eriksen

has designed the equipment to be handled during the setting or erection phase.
It is the responsibility of the Erector to meet these requirements. Any deviation
from these shall be brought to the attention of Nooter/Eriksen for review.
Erector’s rigging plan shall be made available to Nooter/Eriksen, for information
purposes only, prior to handling of heavy components.
1.2 All rigging and lifting equipment shall be designed and furnished by the Erector to
meet the expected loading and the requirements of all procedures and drawings.
Design and use of this equipment shall comply with all applicable codes, industry
standards and safety guidelines. One example of each type of lifting device
(one Horizontal Lifting Device and one Strongback Device) shall be
provided by Nooter/Eriksen, provided Erector executes Nooter/Eriksen’s
standard Release & Indemnity Agreement. Before the Nooter/Eriksen
supplied lifting devices are used, the Erector must verify that all device
components are properly tagged to indicate that their capacity is consistent with
the devices specified on Nooter/Eriksen’s job specific Lifting Drawings.
1.3 Lifting lugs are designed to handle shear, tension and bending. A small amount
of lateral load has been designed into the lug to account for any cable
misalignment. Ideally the loads should act in line with the lug; however, a six
degree (6°) maximum offset is acceptable. Lifting lugs are limited for use at –
20°F and above. When lifting operation temperatures are below –20°F, contact
Nooter/Eriksen for review.
1.4 In some cases, a freeze protection medium may be added to the modules prior
to shipment. In these cases, the freeze protection medium is Dow Chemical’s
“Dow Frost”, or an N/E approved equal, which is propylene glycol. The MSDS is
made available with the shipping documents. The removal and disposal of the
freeze protection medium is the responsibility of the field erector.
1.5 MODULES
1.5.1 Each module is fitted with lifting lugs on the top headers or roof panel in
the shop. There are usually three lifting operations performed on each
module. The first is accomplished when the module first arrives at the
jobsite and is lifted in the horizontal position from the railcar onto the
transporter. Refer to the job specific N/E Module Lifting Drawings for the
general procedure.

1.5.2 The horizontal off-loading lift is performed with the Horizontal Lifting
Device. The device attaches as shown on the appropriate job specific
N/E Module Lifting Drawing(s), utilizing all of the strap lugs that are
provided with the shipping steel. The Horizontal Lifting Device must be
adjusted (width of device, as well as lug position) to fit the geometry of
the module. It may also be necessary to make adjustments between lifts
of different modules.
1.5.3 It is necessary to support the module upper headers (this can be done
through the roof beams), the lower headers, and all shipping beams
during transportation on the heavy haul transporter and during storage.
The supports should be installed in a manner to keep the upper and
lower headers at the same plane as they were shipped from the module
fabricator within +/-1”. See sketch “Module Storage (Staggered Pitch)”.
1.5.4 Refer to the actual job specific Nooter/Eriksen Module Lifting Drawings
for all details of the lifting devices.
1.5.5 The second lift is the lift from transporter to Strongback Device. This is
performed using the same rigging that was used for the first lift.
1.5.6 The third lift is the horizontal to vertical lift. This is accomplished by using
the Strongback Device. Refer to the actual job specific Nooter/Eriksen
Module Lifting Drawings for details and procedure.
1.5.7 Once the module is in the vertical position, it can be placed between the
appropriate columns and set in its final position. Each module roof is
equipped with support beams with a portion of the upper roof attached.
When the module is placed between the support columns, the load is
transferred from the module support beams to the upper frames.
1.5.8 After each lift, the lifting devices and all associated bolting/pins shall be
inspected by the Erector, to assure no damage has occurred and confirm
that all bolting is tightened as required. Any bent, worn or damaged
bolts/pins shall be replaced as necessary, with identical bolting/pins as
stated on the pertinent Nooter/Eriksen Drawings from the following list:
STRONGBACK01, STRONGBACK02, STRONGBACK03,
STRONGBACK16, HORIZLIFTDEV 1, HORIZLIFTDEV 2,

ERECTION PROCEDURE FOR FIELD
SEAM INSTALLATION (MODULAR)
1.0 GENERAL
1.1 This procedure will provide general details, design considerations and
general installation procedures needed for installation. The Erector should
refer to the erection drawings for actual job details.
1.2 The liner assembly on all breeching and modules is designed to allow the
protective internal liner system to expand freely due to temperature
expansion of the components.
1.3 The liner system is composed of a series of overlapping plates, pinned to

the outside casing.
1.4 It is important that the installation of the field seams be understood prior to
beginning work. Failure to install field seams correctly can lead to casing
hot spots, loss of insulation and general failure of the integrity of the liner
system.
1.5 When casing and ducting are shipped with plastic weather protection on
the exposed insulation, it must be removed prior to installation of the field
seam insulation.
2.0 ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE
2.1 Sidewall Casing Panels (Primary and Secondary)
2.1.1 The primary casing panels have the main structural columns
attached to them. These panels are to be set on their
foundations, bolted/welded and braced in their final positions.
Combination bolted and welded connections are to remain bolted
after welding. It is the Erector’s responsibility to perform structural
welding in a manner that ensures that completed components are
within the tolerances specified in EP-11.
2.1.2 The secondary casing panels are stiffened with flat bar. To install
these panels it will be necessary to insert one edge of the casing
inside the column and rotate the other end in past the other
column and slide the casing to the proper position for weld to the
columns. See Drawing EP-04A-06.
APPROVED BY: RDG

EP-04A PAGE 2
2.1.3 The field seams between sidewall casing panels are seal welded
at the outer casing from the outside of the system. The insulation
pins, insulation and inner liner are installed from the inside of the
system. See Drawing EP-04A-07 and EP-04A-10.
2.2 Floor Beams and Floor Casing panels
2.2.1 For ease of installation, the floor beams are fit-up and held in
position with bolted connections. Bolt the primary floor panel to
columns on the sidewall casing. Attachment welding of floor
beam to sidewall columns is shown on the Erection Drawings for
the actual job details. Bolts are to be snug tight per AISC
Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325 or A490
Bolts, unless otherwise specified on drawings.
2.2.2 Set the secondary floor casing in place and seal weld to the
adjoining primary floor casing from the liner side of the casing
panel.
2.2.3 The field seam between the sidewall and the floor casing is
completed by installing the corner angle from the inside and
installing the insulation and outer casing plate from the outside.
See Drawing EP-04A-08.
2.3 Roof Beams
2.3.1 The roof beams are sent to the field with the casing, insulation
and liners shop installed.
2.3.2 The roof beams are bolted to the sidewall columns as the primary
sidewall casings are erected. See the individual job details for
bolt and weld requirements. This will provide stability for the
structural frame. Bolts are to be snug tight per AISC Specification
for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts, unless
otherwise specified on drawings.
2.3.3 Attach the corner angles and insulation between the sidewall and
roof beam as the sidewall and the roof beams are erected (See
Drawing EP-04A-09). Due to access issues, this must be
completed before installing modules.
EP-04A PAGE 3
2.4 Roof Casing
2.4.1 The roof casings are shop installed onto the modules unless
noted otherwise on drawings. Care should be taken to ensure
that the liners are not damaged during the installation of the coils.
2.4.2 If tadpole gaskets are used, they shall be partially shop installed
on roof beams. Field attachment of tadpole gaskets on corner
angles may be required after the corner angle is in place (see
Drawing EP-04A-09), and before the modules are installed.
2.4.3 Field seams are required between the adjacent shop installed
module roofs and between the shop installed module roofs and
the sidewall. See the individual module drawings for the field
seam configurations supplied by the module fabricator.
3.0 FIELD SEAM LINER INSTALLATION
3.1 Field liner plates shall follow the lapping sequence of the shop liner plates.
The actual laps on shop assembled pieces may vary from what is shown
in this standard. (See Drawing EP-04-10)
3.2 Before installing the field liner, the field seam cavity shall be completely
packed with ceramic fiber insulation. Care shall be taken to ensure that all
void areas are filled. If the field seam insulation is composed of multiple
layers, insulation seams shall be staggered.
3.3 Insulation pins are installed in the shop on the inside of column flanges.
Bend pins perpendicular to liner plate prior to installation of insulation.
4.0 VENDOR SUPPLIED EQUIPMENT
4.1 SCR and CO catalyst systems, as well as catalyst frames and burners,
could be field installed in Nooter/Eriksen’s casing. This equipment can be
shipped to the site in either panels or in complete modules. The field
assembly of this equipment, if required, will be provided under separate
cover from the appropriate Vendor.
4.2 Field seams between the Vendor equipment and the Nooter/Eriksen

REMOVAL OF TEMPORARY
STEEL/WOOD
REVISION 0
1.0 GENERAL
1.1 Temporary steel, wood and bolting may be used to secure the modules or other
components during shipment. Also, temporary support steel may be affixed to
components to assure stability during shipment and/or installation.
1.2 Material to be removed will be painted YELLOW except as listed below.

 Wood will not be painted yellow; all wood is to be removed.
 On large temporary steel, the bolting and approximately 12” from the bolted
connection on the steel will be painted yellow.
2.0 COIL MODULES
2.1 All steel that is used to secure the module to the rail car is to be removed
completely just prior to off loading. If the modules are to be stored on the rail
car, they are to remain secured until just prior to off loading.
2.2 All material that is temporary by design shall be removed after the module is in
its full upright position. Any wood blocking should be removed before the
module is installed into the casing.
2.3 In some instances, modules will be shipped to the site with metal strapping
wrapped around the tube field, centered between vibration supports, and below
the lowest vibration support. This strapping must remain in place during the
horizontal-to-vertical lift. After the horizontal-to-vertical lift is completed, the
strapping is to be removed in the field. These straps are not painted yellow,
since they must remain in place until the horizontal-to-vertical lift is completed
2.4 Some Evaporator modules are ultimately supported by their corresponding

Steam Drums via riser pipes. As such, the temporary bundle support steel
must remain in place until all of the connecting riser pipes are 100% installed,
welded, post weld heat treated (if required), and have received quality
acceptance. Following completion of this work, the temporary bundle support
steel can be removed and the casing field seams completed. This temporary
bundle support steel is painted yellow for field removal. However, the Field
Erector must verify that this steel is to be removed by a thorough review
of N/E Field Erection Drawings (See Drawing EP-05A-1 and coil module
drawings for details). If there is any lack of clarity regarding removal of
temporary bundle support steel, N/E is to be contacted for assistance.
2.5 In some instances, Superheater and/or Reheater Module upper headers are
supported externally, either directly by spring can supports or by
interconnecting piping. In these instances, temporary bundle support steel is
provided to support the headers during shipping and erection. This temporary
bundle support steel can be removed only after all external header supports
and/or associated piping (including pipe supports) are 100% installed, welded,
post weld heat treated (if required), and have received quality acceptance.
Following completion of this work, the temporary bundle support steel can be

2.6 For modules that are lifted using the Strongback Lifting Device, the following
must be considered:
 Shipping cradles at vibration supports and lower headers must remain intact
until module is installed on Strongback.
 Shipping cradle at upper headers must be removed prior to installing

module on Strongback.
 All shipping cradle side plates and tie rods must be removed after module is
installed on Strongback, but prior to lifting from horizontal-to-vertical.
 Any retainer tabs installed on shipping cradle beams must be removed prior
to horizontal-to-vertical lift, to avoid interference with vibration supports.
3.0 STACK SHIPPING AND ERECTION STEEL
3.1 Stacks that are shipped in cylinders will have temporary steel, painted yellow, at
the openings. This temporary steel should be removed after the stack is in the
upright position.
3.2 Stacks that are shipped in 120 deg. segments shall have the temporary steel
remain in place until the stack has been assembled and welded into cylinders
and in the upright position.
4.0 RAIL CAR “TIE DOWN” STEEL
4.1 All rail cars are to be cleared of tie down steel, by the Erector, prior to release
back to the railroad. Charges will be applied to the Erector if not cleaned

Contractor. The structural steel columns and beams should be squared and
plumbed prior to torquing the bolting. The anchor bolts and bolting shall be
torqued per AISC.
2.3 The stair tower is attached to the HRSG at one or more levels. The
attachments should be field located and welded to the HRSG as indicated on
the erection drawing. These should be installed as the stair tower goes up so
that adequate bracing is provided. The stair tower shall not be used for
access purposes until all bolting and attachment welding has been
completed.
3.0 PLATFORMS AND LADDERS
3.1 It is recommended that the platforms be installed as soon as possible. This

INSTALLATION OF LARGE
BORE PIPING
1.0 GENERAL
1.1 All piping shall be installed to meet the requirements of ASME Section I,
ANSI B31.1 and any local applicable codes as they pertain to welding,
procedure qualification, post weld heat treatment, non-destructive
examination, etc. It is the Erector’s responsibility to ensure that all Code
requirements have been met as they pertain to assembly.
1.2 Large bore piping is defined as all piping over 2” NPS.
1.3 Piping is supplied in spool pieces to facilitate field assembly. Valves may
be shipped loose for field installation. Sufficient trim is provided in each of
the spool pieces to allow for adjustment and tolerance accumulation.
1.4 It should be recognized that, due to the size of the components, shifting of
component parts during shipping, normal fabrication, and erection
tolerances, a certain amount of mismatch is to be expected.
1.5 If the Erector feels that modifications in the design must be made due to
interferences, excessive misalignment, or for other reasons, N/E must be
notified of the problem and given the opportunity to provide a solution (see
N/E Backcharge policy). Any cutting or modifying of pipe spools without
prior notification and approval by N/E will not be accepted for backcharge
consideration. If field trim is removed from the project, Nooter/Eriksen will
not be responsible for spool-to-spool alignment or termination points that
differ less than 3” in any direction from theoretical locations.
1.6 Information needed for installation.
a. Nooter/Eriksen Piping Isometric Drawing

b. Nooter/Eriksen P&ID Diagram
c. Nooter/Eriksen Trim & Instrument List

e. Nooter/Eriksen Pipe Support Detail Drawings
f. Nooter/Eriksen HRSG Reference Drawings
1.7 Piping terminal locations are considered within tolerance if the pipe end is
within +/- 1” of theoretical in any direction. The Erector will check actual
termination points to the theoretical termination points during field erection
to maintain the +/- 1” tolerance.

BORE PIPING
1.8 Although applicable to all materials, the following is of particular

importance for 9Cr 1Mo (P91) piping:
1.8.1 Field Erector should have a system in place that will assure that the
welding is properly performed.
1.8.2 Monitoring and maintaining heat control throughout the welding
process is vital for achieving acceptable field welding results.
2.0 NDE REQUIREMENTS
2.1 In addition to the Mandatory Code Requirements for non-destructive

examination of welds, it is recommended that the following additional
radiography be applied:
1) At least 5% of all full penetration pressure part butt welds, not

requiring radiography by the ASME or the local applicable codes,
shall be 100% radiographed.
This should be implemented by radiographing 5% of this category

of welds deposited by each welder.
In the event of a defect being identified in the prescribed 5%, a

further 5% of welds deposited by that welder shall be radiographed.
Should additional defects be identified, all welds deposited by that
welder shall be radiographed.
This category of welds normally includes butt welds in the

downcomer and riser piping, and butt welds in the boiler proper and
boiler external piping.
2.2 All Chrome-Moly piping shall have NDE in accordance with ASME Section
I, ANSI B31.1, or the local applicable codes, whichever governs and is
more stringent.
3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 This section provides suggested installation steps to minimize the time
required to install pipe spools. The Erector is free to modify or add to this
procedure. The contents of this procedure should be considered as a
guide.
EP-09 PAGE 3
BORE PIPING
3.2 Erector is to verify the tagging on each spool piece and valve and check
dimensions using piping isometric drawings and the fabricators pipe spool
drawings. Any major discrepancies shall be brought to the attention of
Purchaser immediately.
3.3 Erector shall check the location of the connections where the pipe spools
are to be placed. The theoretical locations may vary from the actual
depending upon how the modules have been set, how components have
shifted during shipment, and normal fabrication and erection tolerance
accumulation.
3.4 After the pipe spool pieces have been inspected dimensionally and the
connection locations verified, the Erector should pre-fabricate the
completed pipe runs in sections as large as possible. Valves should be
welded in and inspection, heat treatments, etc., made. Since the actual
dimensions of the pipe run can now be verified, the Erector should trim
pipe sections to fit actual dimensions.
3.5 Pipe sections should be lifted into place (tack welded only) and checked
for fit up before fully welding any section. It is usually possible to slightly
rotate the pipe at the connections to achieve movement at the other end
without affecting the weld gaps appreciably.
3.6 Piping expansion joints shall be installed per the expansion joint
manufacturer’s guidelines and accepted industry practices. It is not
acceptable for piping expansion joints to be manipulated to make up for
piping misalignment.
3.7 External insulation must be held back from all piping expansion joints and
casing seal devices for inspection, maintenance, and proper operation. .
4.0 PIPE SUPPORTS
4.1 All pipe runs will be provided with pipe supports, hangers, springs and/or
guides, if needed, to meet design requirements.
4.2 Prior to installing any pipe run, the Erector should become familiar with the
supporting requirements. It is possible to create additional work if piping
and supports are not installed in the proper sequence.
EP-09 PAGE 4
BORE PIPING
4.3 Pipe supports are to be field located and installed by either welding or
bolting.
4.3.1 If pipe supports require attachment to platform steel, the Erector is

required to field trim or cut back the grating, as required, to allow
pipe support to attach directly to platform support steel.
4.4 All field welds not specifically called out on pipe support drawings are to
be 3/16” fillet welds and shall be completely around the attachment so as
to seal the connection.
4.5 Trim is provided in the length of the field welded pieces to allow for
adjustment and proper fit. The Erector should trial fit pipe supports, trim to
fit and final install. Piping dimensions at supports should be considered as
a reference and may vary +/- 2”.
4.6 To facilitate field installation, all pipe supports located on the straight
length of a pipeline can be moved +/- 0’-6” along the pipe centerline from
their theoretical location. It is the contractor’s responsibility to verify that
moving the pipe support to allow for field or shop tolerances, does not
create an interference with any other pipeline branch, attachment or other
structure on the HRSG. Contractor shall contact Nooter/Eriksen for
guidance for any supports that need to be moved more than +/- 0’-6”.
5.0 HYDROTEST
5.1 All valves shall be checked during hydrotest for leakage. Any leaks shall
be stopped by properly tightening the packing glands. If tightening is
unsuccessful, the leaking valves shall be repacked. Nooter/Eriksen shall
be notified of any valves where leakage cannot be stopped.
Caution: The unit should not be operated with valves where leaks have
been noticed unless approval from Purchaser is obtained. Failure to
comply with this requirement may result in damage to valves.
5.2 All spring supports and constant supports must have travel stops in place
prior to filling the HRSG.
5.3 All flanged pressure relief valves shall be removed, or a suitable pancake
shall be inserted at the inlet flange during hydrotest.
5.4 If welded safety valves are supplied, there must be verification that factory
installed hydrostatic test plugs are installed.

RECOMMENDED
TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
Nooter/Eriksen recommends the use of an experienced cleaning contractor

for this service. The cleaning contractor should inspect the HRSG and
develop a cleaning procedure for the owner’s review. Nooter/Eriksen
recommends that the cleaning procedure shall include steps for each area
listed under Section 2: Hand cleaning, Organic material removal and
Chemical scale removal.
This section contains general information and suggestions that may be used
as an aid to evaluate a contractor's procedure or monitor the cleaning and
should not be interpreted as an endorsement of any particular type of
cleaning. Improper cleaning of the HRSG surfaces or the complete omission
of cleaning can result in poor performance and potential damage to the boiler.
The HRSG tube/pipe side surface must be thoroughly and properly cleaned
prior to being placed in initial service. Periodic review of the cleanliness of the
boiler is required as outlined in IV of the N/E O&M Manual.
1.0 General
The primary function of cleaning the tubeside is to provide a clean,

uniform surface for passivation. Passivation is the buildup of a
protective magnetite layer on wetted surfaces. This layer protects the
inner surfaces from corrosion during operation.
Oil, grease and rust can prevent or cause uneven buildup and flaking
of the protective magnetite layer during operation. These contaminants
must be removed before operation.
The option to inspect the unit prior to chemically cleaning should be

offered to all potential contractors. Lack of pre-inspection may result in
an insufficient and/or inefficient cleaning solution being utilized.
Improper solutions can significantly add to the circulation time required
for cleaning.
Prior to commencement of a chemical clean for the HRSG, the

following systems/controls must be in proper operation in order to
insure boiler safeguards:
 All HRSG alarms, trips, and interlocks
 All pressure parts have been installed and hydro-tested
 All insulation has been installed
 Suitable connections to all vents and drains have been installed
and are routed to avoid potential hazards
 Gas turbine has been readied for operation

TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
2.0 Types of Cleaning
Depending on the HRSG condition, operating range, and site disposal

facilities, a variety of cleaning procedures is available. The general
categories of cleaning are listed below. N/E recommends that each
step listed below be performed to insure that the system is properly
prepared for operation.
2.1 Hand Cleaning: The first step should always be to clean

accessible areas by hand. Remove manhole covers on the
steam, collector, and mud drums. Remove and clean out by
hand as much grease, oil, and other foreign material as
possible. Careful hand cleaning will reduce the time required for
further cleaning.
2.2 Organic Material Removal: Following hand cleaning, any

remaining organics (such as oil, grease, or tube protective
coatings) must be removed from the interior of the HRSG.
Organics left on the tubes will impede heat transfer, prevent
proper passivation of the metal, and inhibit cleaning. In
addition, any loose foreign materials clinging to the inner tube
surfaces should be flushed out.
Typically, this step will involve a preliminary flushing with warm

water, followed by circulation of an appropriate cleaning
solution. A heated alkaline solution is typically used, with the
alkalinity and circulation temperature developed by the
contractor for the specifics of the site. The cleaning solution
should be periodically strained or blown down to remove foreign
materials, and the chemistry readjusted as required. The
cleaning should be finished with a warm water flush and
blowdown using a good quality condensate that should continue
until phosphate content is less than 2 ppm. An internal
inspection should then be done, and the cleaning process
repeated if oil or grease is still evident.
2.3 Chemical Scale Removal: This step is used to remove scale or

other deposits. The solution is generally heated, and allowed to
stand in the HRSG or circulated for a prescribed time or until
testing shows the reaction rate has decreased. After the
cleaning has been completed, the pH of the solution should be
raised to promote passivation, or the solution should be drained
and an alkaline solution circulated. Manholes should be opened,
the seating surfaces flushed, and new gaskets installed. Proper
procedures must be implemented for laying up the boiler after
EP-13 PAGE 3
RECOMMENDED
TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
the chemical cleaning to insure that damaging contaminants do

not enter the system.
CAUTION: THE CLEANING SOLUTION MUST BE

COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM ALL THE INTERNAL
SURFACES TO PREVENT DAMAGE.
Scale removal will be inhibited if oil and grease are present. An

alkaline cleaning should be performed prior to the scale/deposit
removal phase of the cleaning.
There are also mechanical means of deposit removal available

for accessible tubes, such as in the evaporator. These include
high pressure water lances and pull through scrapers.
2.4 General HRSG Steam Blow Procedures
Theory
In order to insure a clean steam path after initial erection from
the evaporator sections of the HRSG to the terminal points, it is
necessary to instigate a thorough cleaning procedure. In
general, this is accomplished through a steam blow, air blow, or
a combination chemical clean/ steam (air) blow.
A steam blow procedure entails passing high velocity steam

through the steam path in order to generate a sufficient cleaning
ratio (CR). The cleaning ratio is defined as the ratio of the
product of the density () and the square of the steam velocity
(V) at the steam blow conditions to the same product at the
design base load conditions.
(  V 2 ) steam blow
CR 
(  V 2 ) design
The shear force generated on the tube walls is proportional to

the velocity head of the flowing fluid through the pipe network.
Therefore, the larger the cleaning ratio the larger the shear force
(i.e. the better the cleaning of the tube walls). A cleaning ratio
greater than 1.1 is normally required in power boilers to insure
adequate cleaning of all steam path surfaces. Occasionally a
lower value may be acceptable for low pressure systems but 1.0
should be considered the absolute minimum.
It is apparent that a low pressure (high specific volume) fluid will

result in the minimization of the actual amounts of water

RECOMMENDED
TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
required while helping to generate the largest velocity head.

Therefore, it is desirable to utilize a low pressure fluid when
performing a steam path cleaning.
One should note the importance that all legs of the steam path
need to be subjected to proper cleaning ratios. The variable
geometry throughout the steam path will require the calculation
of several cleaning ratios.
Steam Blow
When the combustion turbine is available, a steam blow is
typically performed. The combustion turbine is generally utilized
as the heat source for the boiler to generate the required
capacity of steam.
There are two general categories of steam blows - intermittent

and continuous.
Intermittent Blows -
Intermittent steam blows involve the building up of pressure in
the appropriate steam drum to a predetermined upper value and
then opening a quick acting steam blow valve at the end of the
piping network to generate a high velocity steam by flashing
water in the drum. When the drum pressure returns to the lower
calculated pressure level (minimum for cleaning ratio required),
the steam blow valve is closed to repressurize the drum and the
sequence repeated. An intermittent blow is generally favored
over a continuous blow when insufficient make up water
capacity is available for a continuous blow. The required purging
sequence of an intermittent blow, which may require as many as
100 cycles, generally makes the intermittent blow a more costly
procedure in means of time and man-hours.
Continuous Blows -
Continuous blows involve operating the boiler at a reduced
pressure for a continuous period of time. The reduced pressure
generates a large specific volume (high velocity) flow that
passes through the steam path on a continual basis. A sacrificial
valve is generally utilized at the terminal point of the temporary
steam blow piping for maintaining required pressure. By
eliminating the cyclic sequencing of an intermittent blow, the
required time and subsequent man-hours may be significantly
reduced for a continuous blow. However, a continuous blow
requires that large amounts of treated water be available for
usage. It is not uncommon to empty a large storage tank during
the course of a four-hour continuous blow.
EP-13 PAGE 5
RECOMMENDED
TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
Note: Steam blows may still be performed even though the

combustion turbine is unavailable. In this event, a sufficient
auxiliary boiler must be utilized to generate the required steam
(flow, temperature and pressure).
2.5 HRSG Operation for Steam Blowing

The intent of this section is to present general information
pertaining to operation of the Heat Recovery Steam Generator
(HRSG) during the steam blow process. The guidelines and
advice provided are for
information purposes only and the party responsible for the
HRSG cleaning is advised to seek the services/advice of a
qualified cleaning professional.
The HRSG and the plant design will have an impact on the
decisions to be made concerning the steam line cleaning. Many
of these issues are operational in nature and several are
highlighted below for consideration when developing a site
specific steam blow procedure.
Combustion Turbine (CT) Loads -

Most steam blows can be accomplished at gas turbine loads
below 30%. The turbine should be operated with the guide
vanes wide open. This maximizes the exhaust flow and steam
flow and minimizes the exhaust temperature and fuel usage. If
multiple pressure systems are to be blown at once, significantly
higher CT loads are generally required.
Sometimes the steam from one HRSG will be used to blow

common steam line piping in cases where the steam from two
HRSG's that go to one steam turbine. The ideal scenario would
be to identically operate each HRSG. For units with duct
burners, a higher CT load is generally required.
Steam Drum Water Levels -

Water level must be maintained in all steam drums during a
steam blow to prevent damage. These systems are not
designed to run dry.
EP-13 PAGE 6
RECOMMENDED
TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
The extent of drum level fluctuation during a steam blow is a

function of the cleaning method applied. When a continuous
blow is utilized, the boiler is able to reach an equilibrium
condition and subsequently, the drum level should remain fairly
constant. However, the flashing nature of an intermittent steam
blow will generate very large swings in drum level. The water
level must be maintained between the LLWL and the HHWL.
During an intermittent type of steam blow where the drum

pressure varies, the water level fluctuations will be significant.
The operator should start with a small drum pressure change
and work up to larger pressure changes to assure that the water
level can be controlled.
Start-Up-
When heating up the boiler for the steam blow process,
temporary steam blow valves should be utilized to control the
HRSG ramp rates. Refer to the startup requirements in the N/E
O&M Manual.
Steam blow steam must not be discharged through the HRSG

main start-up valves. The valve seats would be subjected to
damage.
Water Quality / Water Chemistry -

The quality of water used for steam blows should be the same
quality as the water intended for normal operation. HRSG's will
carryover water from the steam drums during the steam blow.
This water should be as clean as possible to avoid chemical
deposition in piping and coil sections. The feedwater pH should
be increased to 9 by injecting ammonia. This is equivalent to an
ammonia concentration of about 0.3 ppm.
The boiler must be drained after steam blows unless deaerated

water was used. In this case a wet lay-up may be used.
Consult the N/E O&M manual for lay-up.
Freezing water can result in tremendous damage to an HRSG.

Consult the N/E O&M Manual on freeze protection.
EP-13 PAGE 7
RECOMMENDED
TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
Operating Pressures-
HRSG operating conditions can be varied to augment the steam
blow process. For example, the HP drum operating pressure
should be maximized when blowing an IP system. This will
allow more heat to approach the IP evaporator maximizing the
IP steam flow.
Reheaters-
When blowing the HP system of an HRSG with a reheater, the
reheater may have to be operated without the benefit of cold
reheat steam. Under these conditions, the IP steam flow must
still flow though the reheater. Vents on the hot reheat line
should be open to maximize the IP steam flow and minimize the
reheater operating pressure. The CT operating mode should be
selected to minimize the exhaust temperature.
Desuperheater Operation –
N/E advises that the water flow to the desuperheaters be
isolated during steam blows. Water sprayed under the wrong
conditions can lead to damage. If desuperheaters are utilized,
there must be adequate steam flow and steam superheat to
vaporize the water. The steam must have a minimum of 25°F of
superheat after the desuperheater. In no case must the
desuperheater block valve be opened with insufficient steam
flow past the desuperheater.
Erection-
Care has been taken to supply all HRSG components in a good
condition. The erector must also strive to maintain this condition
during all phases of the erection process.
Measurement Devices -
The steam blow process may affect steam flow meters. The
accuracy of these devices is dependent upon the finish of the
interior surface. These devices should be removed if practical.
Non-Return Valves -
The main steam valve must be 100% open during steam blows
so as not to cause undue wear on the valve seats. Non-return
valve vendors require that the non-return valve disc (cage) be
removed during a steam blow. N/E will not be responsible for
damage to the non-return valve in the event that the erector
chooses to leave the non-return valve internals in line during the
steam blows.
EP-13 PAGE 8
RECOMMENDED
TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
In many cases, the steam blow may represent the first time that
large quantities of heat have been passed through the HRSG.
Therefore, during the heat up process, items typically
associated with first fire of the boiler (i.e. thermal expansion of
pipelines) must be addressed and inspected to insure proper
working order.
Further questions or support regarding blows should be directed

to the N/E Project Manager.
Air Blow
When sufficient water is not available, an air blow may be
performed to generate the same end result of a steam blow.
External air tanks are pressurized to predetermined levels and
connected to the steam path piping. The air is released through
the steam piping at levels sufficient to generate the required
cleaning ratios. The external air tanks are then repressurized
and the sequence repeated similar to the intermittent steam
blow. This will generally require larger velocities than a steam
blow due to the reduced density of the air.
Combination Chemical Clean/ Steam (Air) Blow

A thorough chemical clean of the steam path piping prior to
performing a steam (air) blow may significantly reduce the time
required to meet the clean acceptance criteria. The reduction in
steam blow time is most noticeable when utilizing the
intermittent steam blow method. The chemical clean may be
performed simultaneously with the water path cleaning which
may help to reduce the additional cost of the chemical cleaning
of the steam path.
Acceptance
Once it has been demonstrated that the required cleaning ratios
have been met, steam targets are inserted in the temporary
steam piping for testing at the steam blow conditions. The
targets are subsequently removed and inspected for marks and
impressions. The cleaning requirements (i.e. number and depth
of marks on target) for final acceptance are typically defined by
the end user, steam turbine manufacturer, and the BOP
contractor.
EP-13 PAGE 9
RECOMMENDED
TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
Issues to Note:
 For best results, the steam blow valve should be a sacrificial butterfly
valve or gate valve. The excessive flow obstruction in a globe valve
can lead to rapid wear on the valve seats and is more subject to
locking up due to impregnated obstructions.
 In general, the plant demineralization make-up water train does not

have sufficient capacity to generate the required amounts of water
utilized during a steam blow without subsequently imposing large time
delays. It may be advisable to hire an auxiliary demineralization plant
for steam blows.
 Steam blow piping is not generally rated for base load steam
temperatures. Care must be taken to insure that the superheated
steam is maintained within boiler design values as well as temporary
piping design values.
 Power plants are generally flexible so that one can optimize the
conditions for a given steam blow. However, flow must be maintained
in all pressure systems during a steam blow to provide sufficient
cooling of tubes.
 A temporary desuperheater in the steam blow piping may help to

eliminate exceeding design temperatures of temporary piping.
Furthermore, by desuperheating the boiler effluent the subsequent
reduction in steam velocity helps to minimize the noise generated by
the sonic steam flowing through the temporary piping.
 Boiler operation during steam blows is a very transient operation that

requires complete attention of the boiler operator. Large fluctuations in
drum level will be encountered during intermittent steam blows and
during valve opening modifications of a continuous blow.
 When two units are manifolded together, both boilers must be in

operation to generate the required cleaning ratios of the common
piping. Care must be taken when bringing both units up simultaneously
so as not to develop excessive pressure fluctuations between the
boilers.
 If not required for temperature control during the steam blow,

permanent desuperheating stations are to be removed from the steam
path during steam blows.
EP-13 PAGE 10
RECOMMENDED
TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
 Pneumatically inserted target plates eliminate the requirement of

having to bring the boiler down after reaching the cleaning ratios,
inserting the targets, and then starting the boiler up again and reaching
the acceptable cleaning ratios.
 Steam blow steam must not be discharged through the HRSG main
start-up valves. These valves are generally globe-type control valves
and are subject to damage when passing dirty steam (steam blow
steam). When heating up the boiler for the steam blow process, the
temporary sacrificial steam blow valves should be utilized to control the
ramp rate of the pressure systems.
 HRSG Insulation must be installed prior to heat-up of the boiler. While

providing personnel protection, the insulation also prevents the
formation of surface micro-fissures in the event of boiler operation
during extreme weather conditions.
 The saturation temperature differential generated between the initial

drum pressure and final drum pressure during an intermittent steam
blow must be limited to 75°F (41.6°C)
3.0 Considerations
This section highlights considerations on when to clean the HRSG,

protection of the HRSG, and other planning/work that may not be
provided by the contractor.
3.1 The unit should always be inspected and cleaned after initial
erection. Future cleanings should be scheduled as required
based on inspections and monitoring of performance.
3.2 The decision on whether cleaning for mill scale removal will be
necessary should be made by the owner in conjunction with
those who will be doing the water treatment of the plant during
operation.
3.3 A P&ID should be supplied to the cleaning contractor to lay out

the circulation path.
EP-13 PAGE 11
RECOMMENDED
TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
3.4 All pre-boiler piping, including feedwater storage/treatment

facilities, should be cleaned when the HRSG is cleaned. If this
will not be possible, it may be best to delay cleaning for scale
removal until after operation has removed loose deposits from
the feedwater system.
3.5 Control valves, orifices, and other instrumentation that could be

damaged during the cleaning should be removed or bypassed.
3.6 A temporary gauge glass is provided for use during the cleaning
procedure, if deemed necessary by the cleaning contractor.
Inform the contractor of the maximum working pressure and
temperature on this temporary glass.
WARNING: THE DISPOSABLE TUBE TYPE GAUGE GLASS

TYPICALLY USED DURING THE CLEANING PROCESS IS
NOT SUITABLE FOR STEAM SERVICE. THIS GLASS
COULD SHATTER UNDER SERVICE PRESSURE AND
RESULT IN DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. A LOCKOUT
PROCEDURE SHOULD BE EMPLOYED TO INSURE THE
REMOVAL OF THIS TEMPORARY GAUGE GLASS AFTER
THE CHEMICAL CLEAN HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND
PRIOR TO PERMANENT OPERATION.
3.7 As it circulates through the HRSG, the cleaning solution will

cool. Solution temperature should be monitored at the inlet and
outlet points of the HRSG to ensure an effective temperature is
maintained. Restricting air flow through the duct (by covering
the stack or closing access doors) will reduce the amount of
heat lost in the HRSG. Heating of the cleaning and rinsing fluid
is normally accomplished in an external heat exchanger
supplied by the cleaning contractor.
3.8 The contractor should take steps to ensure circulation of the

cleaning solution through all sections of the HRSG. In
particular, the path of least resistance in the evaporators may be
through the downcomer(s) and not through the tubes. This may
require blocking the downcomer(s) during chemical cleaning.
3.9 Steam drum internals can remain installed during the chemical
cleaning. Note, however, that the mesh pads are made of
stainless steel, and must be removed if the cleaning solution will
attack this material. Re-install the mesh pads before steam
blow or operation. If the chevron separators are removed for
inspection or additional cleaning, they must be reinstalled with
the same orientation.
EP-13 PAGE 12
RECOMMENDED
TUBESIDE CLEANING
PROCEDURE
CAUTION: FOREIGN MATTER ON THE INTERNALS COULD

RESULT IN STEAM PURITY PROBLEMS. THEY SHOULD BE
INSPECTED AND CLEANED AS REQUIRED.
3.10 Depending on the cleanliness of the pre-boiler water facilities,

the deaerator spray nozzles and trays may filter some material
during initial operation. The deaerating function should be
monitored for proper operation after startup.
3.11 Sample lines should be closed during steam blow and chemical
cleaning to avoid plugging.
3.12 The customer should retain records of the entire cleaning

procedure including the chemicals used in the process.
3.13 Safety procedures should be reviewed or developed as

necessary prior to any chemical cleaning.
3.14 When the cleaning is completed, the customer and contractor

should verify that the unit is clean and all the coils have been
completely drained.
3.15 Disposal of the cleaning solutions may contribute substantially

to the cost of the process. The cost associated with longer
circulation times of weaker cleaning fluids may be offset by the
disposal cost of more caustic/acidic fluids.
3.16 If the combustion turbine is to be used as the source for heating

the cleaning solution, care must be taken to insure that the
provided cleaning solution pumps are sufficient to maintain
drum level. Incorrect pump size will increase the time required
to clean the boiler.
3.17 Noise attenuation of the temporary steam blow piping may be

required. Generally, a steam blow silencer is provided due to
noise constraints. However, the steam flowing through the
piping may reach sonic speeds and as such, generate a
considerable amount of noise. It does no good to have a
silencer rated for 85 dBA when the noise emitting from the
upstream pipe is 115 dBA. A temporary desuperheater station
at the outlet of the HRSG piping will help to limit the velocities
and therefore the noise generation.

PROCEDURE
3.18 Following cleaning, proper lay up procedures should be

followed. Reference the Nooter/Eriksen lay up
recommendations.
3.19 N/E does not endorse or recommend any particular type of

chemical clean / steam blow (including thermal shock steam
blows). The above information is provided for information only.
3.20 It is advisable to remove the steam drum mesh pads prior to

commencing with a chemical cleaning which will circulate
through the steam path. The mesh pad will act as a sieve in
such a situation and would require an extensive cleaning after
the chemical cleaning is accomplished. The mesh pads should
be reinstalled prior to commencing with steam blows.
3.21 Boil out with caustic soda (NaOH) or soda ash (Na2CO3) is not
recommended. IF these chemicals are to be utilized, the
superheaters must be filled with properly treated condensate
during the cleaning.

EXCERPT TAKEN FROM O&M MANUAL
3.0 Drum Manway Cover Usage and Gasketing
All elliptical manway covers follow the same general requirements with 12"
(305 mm) x 16" (406 mm), 14" (356 mm) x 18" (457 mm), and 18" (457 mm) x
24" (610 mm) being the most common sizes.
3.1 Open the manway and clean the old gasket from the cover and
manway ring. Both of the surfaces must be cleaned thoroughly with
caution. A method must be used that does not flatten out the required
machined roughness. Gasket surfaces are to be finished to 125-250
RMS.
All covers and rings must be inspected for pits or grooves on the
sealing surfaces. If pits greater than 1/32” (0.8mm) deep exist, it will
be necessary to repair the gasket surface by weld repair and
remachining under the direction of your ASME National Board
Inspector. If the manway covers, rings and plates cannot be repaired,
then they must be replaced. New covers must be inspected for
surface imperfections.
3.2 Proper gasketing, as defined in Table 3.2 and 3.3, is required to install
the cover. Do not flex, twist, bend or deform the gasket in any way
before installation. This could damage the gasket and compromise its
structural integrity.
Center the gasket on the manway cover. Bring the cover and gasket in
contact with the manway ring. Install the studs in the plates or yokes
and finger tighten to allow the manway cover and gasket to stay in
place. Make sure the studs, nuts and washers are clean and well
lubricated with nickel anti-seize compound to achieve the proper bolt
load. Davits should be adjusted as necessary, to allow the proper
alignment when bringing the cover and gasket in contact with the ring.
To provide an effective seal, even compressive forces must be exerted

on the gasket. To accomplish this, tighten the nuts (1) flat at a time
going back and forth diagonally from nut to nut, following the pattern as
shown below for (6) stud manways, or alternating back and forth for
stud and yoke type manways, until all of the bolting is tightened to 10%
of the final torque value Continue tightening the bolting following the
recommended sequence (1) flat at a time until all bolting is tightened to
25% of the final torque value. Following the same method tighten the
APPROVED BY: WJP
X:\Procedures\Erection Manual\Excerpt from O&M Manual.R5 .doc
bolting to 50% of the final torque value and then 75% of the final torque
value. Finally tighten all bolting to 100% of the final torque value
following the same method. Torque wrenches should be calibrated and
in good working order.

DR-27V DR-26V
CAUTION: HEAVY DUTY IMPACT WRENCHES WITH DRIVES

GREATER THAN 1/2" (12.7mm) SHOULD NOT BE USED. IT IS
IMPERATIVE THAT THE NUTS BE TIGHTENED ONE (1) FLAT AT A
TIME PER NUT ON A ROTATIONAL BASIS WHEREBY NUTS ARE
TIGHTENED SEQUENTIALLY ACROSS DIAGONALS. NEVER
TIGHTEN ADJACENT NUTS IN SEQUENCE.
3.3 You may start to pressurize the boiler at this point. If the gaskets leak,
tighten each nut one (1) flat at a time alternating between the nuts (i.e.,
use the tightening procedure described above) until the leaking stops.
As the boiler is heated, the internal pressure will force the cover
against the gasket and, if properly installed, the seal will be effective;
however, additional tightening may be required due to the
heating/pressurization. It is to be noted that a "leak", as referenced
here, is running water. A slow drip is acceptable on a cold boiler for
this sequence. When the unit is up to pressure and temperature, if
necessary, retighten the bolts to the values noted in Table 3.1.
CAUTION: TIGHTENING OF MANWAY BOLTS WHILE THE UNIT IS

UNDER PRESSURE SHOULD BE DONE FROM THE SIDE OF THE
MANWAY AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION.
If the boiler is shut down and allowed to cool, it is important to again

check the torque on the nuts before repressurizing, to assure that the
required torque values have been maintained.
