4.0 Deaerator safety valve floating procedure
4.1 Gag all the safety valves except the one for floating T.Mtce
4.2 Slowly raise the Deaerator pressure by opening AST to Dea PCV B/P gate valve. Opn, TOS
Do not exceed the Deaerator pressure more than 7.6 ksc.

4.3 If the safety valve has not opened for a Deaerator pressure of 7.5-7.6 ksc pressure Opn, TOS

4.4 Close the AST to Dea PCV B/P gate valve Opn, TOS
4.5 Open SM 20 valve from control desk Opn, TOS
4.6 Adjust the spring tension for the safety valve T.Mtce
4.8 If the safety valve has opened note down the pressure at which it opened and closed Opn, TOS
4.9 Close the AST to Dea PCV B/P gate valve. Opn, TOS

4.10 Open SM 20 valve from control desk. Opn, TOS

4.11 Adjust the spring tension for the safety valve to advance or delay the opening of T.Mtce
 safety valve.

4.12 If the safety valve opened at the set pressure follow the step 4.13 Opn, TOS

4.13 If the safety valve opened at the set pressure repeat the process for other safety Opn, TOS
valves by following the steps 4.1 to 4.5 T.Mtce

4.14 Prepare a protocol and get is signed for reference. TOS, T.Mtce
4.15 Normalize the scheme after the safety valve floating work is over. Opn
