3.0 CHARGING OF SYSTEMS :

3.1 Charge aux. steam to the boiler (from running unit or aux. boiler). Ensure proper

draining of the lines before charging. Aux. steam for oil heating, oil
lines tracing, atomizing steam, air heater soot blowers and steam coil air
heaters, mill inerting should be made available.

3.2 Start instrument air compressors and charge instrument air to boiler, turbine,
auxiliaries and off-sites.
3.3 Start plant air compressors and charge plant air igniter cooling, air heater, air
motors and other cooling/ cleaning requirement.
3.4 Start equipment cooling water pumps and charge the coolers for all equipments.
3.5 Charge HFO up to the burner front and keep it on long recirculation.

4.0 PRESTART CHECKS :

Fill the boiler cold startup checklist and get the deviation approved by the competent authority

5.0 START-UP :

The sequences of starting of the equipments are given below. For details refer to the standard
operating procedure of the individual equipment.

5.1 Line up Bottom ash hoppers including seal trough filling.

5.2 Line up ESP from flue gas side, line up ESP hoppers, Eco hoppers and APH hoppers.

5.3 Start the air heaters one by one and Keep the associated dampers open.

5.4 Start the first ID fan .Ensure that its suction & discharge dampers open to full.
Also check for the closure of the suction /discharge damper /inlet vane of the
Other fan.

5.5 Gradually raise the scoop and then vane of the running fan and maintain a furunace draft
of about -10 mm of wc.

5.6 Start the corresponding FD fan (if it is not available the other FD fan can be started).
Ensure that the discharge damper of the running fan opens full and the blade pitch and
discharge damper of the non-running fan closes full.

5.7 Gradually raise the load on the FD fan. Parallely control the scoop and vane of the
 running ID fan to maintain the furnace draft. (Ensure that the secondary air dampers
are open and modulating ). Raise the total air flow to more then 30% and less than 40%,
which is the purge requirement.

5.8 Put the wind box pressure control (aux.air dampers) in auto and maintain the desired
wind box to furnace differential pressure.

5.9 Start the second ID fan. Ensure full opening of its suction and discharge damper.

5.10 Slowly raise the scoop and vane of the second ID fan and reduce those of the first ID
Fan to equalize the loading on both fans, always maintaining the furnace draft within
limits.

5.11 Start the second FD fan, ensure that its discharge damper opens fully.

5.12 Gradually raise the blade pitch of the second FD fan and reduce that of the first FD fan
to equalize the loading on both fans maintaining the minimum air flow and normal
furnace draft.

NOTE: If so desired, the second set of ID/FD fan can be started at a later stage (after
synchronization and auxiliary supply changeover) to reduce the auxiliary power consumption
and loading on station transformer. But keeping both the fans in service is preferable from the
operation flexibility point of view. It avoids tripping of the boiler on protection in the event of
outage of one fan and reduces the furnace disturbance at a later stage while starting the second
set of fans.

5.13 Put the furnace draft control in auto. However, the performance of the auto loop should
be kept under observation during low load operation.

5.14 Start the AC scanner fan and keep it in service. Keep the other fan as auto standby.
Ensure that the scanner air pressure is normal.

5.15 Charge the SCAPH of both FD fans. Regulate the steam flow to maintain the air heater
cold end temp.

5.16 Close the HFO trip valve and recirculation valve (which were opened earlier for
charging and warming up the oil lines- Refer Sec. 3.5). Open the short Recirculation
Valve. Line up Oil burners.

light comes ‘ON’ and purging continues for 5 minutes (if the purge time is disturbed, it
should be corrected).

5.20 If the purging is interrupted due to any reason (loss of one or more of the purge
permissive), purging should be restarted.

5.21 On completion of purge, ‘PURGE COMPLETE’ light becomes ‘ON’ and MFT gets reset.
Then, wait for Fuel air dampers to close and other auxiliary air dampers to modulate as
per SADC command. Check for sufficient wind box pressure.

5.22 Open the HFO recirculation valve and HFO trip valve: close the short recirculation valve.

5.23 Bring the HFO header pressure and temperature to normal value. Ensure that atomizing
steam pressure is normal.

5.24 Ensure that burner is horizontal.

5.26 Select the oil burners to be fired. During cold startup normally lower (AB) elevation oil
burners are selected.

5.27 Give start command to the selected burner. it is preferable to start one burner at a time by
monitoring it performance at local ( individual burner selection can be done by keeping
its selector switch in remote at local).

5.28 Eve if Oil gun is proved, check and ensure that the burner is firing properly at local. In
case of poor flame or a leak, take out the burner immediately. Identify the cause and
attend it.

5.29 After proving the first burner successfully select the burner (preferably on the opposite
side in the same elevation) and give start command. Ensure proper flame at local.
Similarly all the four burners in the elevation (maximum) can be kept in service. Regulate
the oil pressure.

5.30 Keep the furnace draft at normal values while cutting in oil burners.

5.31 Ensure that the auxiliary air dampers of the burners in service are open.
