2. SYSTEM FUNCTION
This document provides the recommended operating rules, interlocks and protection for equipments
related to "Boiler Blow-Down System" for OPG Power 1 x 80 MW – T.P.P.
Boiler Blow-Down System duty is to collect blow down water and condensed steam from the boiler
and the main steam system and to convey the waste water to discharge pit.

3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

3.1 General

The Boiler Blow-Down System consists of intermittent blow-down tank, atmospheric type, connected
to boiler drains headers. It is designed for the following condition:

Condition Pressure Temperature Capacity

bar g °C cu. m
Operating atmospheric 99
Design 7 170 3.2

they receive the boiler blow-down water and steam drain conveying them to the discharge pit.

3.2 System equipment

The boiler blow-down system is equipped with:

• Blow-down tank (1-B-T-0401)
¾ Wear plate to deflect the inlet flow in order to limit the forces on the tank;
¾ Diffuser;
• One no. blow-down motor operated needle angle valve (1-B-MOV-0401), electrically operated
and remotely controlled, inching type; and blow off valve (1-B-MOV-0402), etc.
• One no. service water Pneumatic operated Control valve (1-B-CV-0401);
• Discharge / drain line from tank to nearest trench (waste pit);
• Any connection needed to receive and discharge the medium;
• Related instrumentation.

3.3 Functional description

3.3.1 Blow-down tank

Boiler drum water discharged from boiler drum at the following condition:

Condition Pressure Temperature Flow

bar g °C kg/s
Operating 105.65 315 ≈ 0.83
Design 112 320 2.7

Blow down tank receives water & condensed steam from boiler, soot blower system, fuel oil heater,
safety valve and main steam system.
During start-up phase, if necessary (see "Boiler Water & Steam system functional description" doc.
No. 2097-1-G-G0-025), through the one motor operated valves (1-B-MOV-0402) it will be possible to
discharge boiler drum water via downcomers drain header.
The steam/water medium from the main steam line, principally discharged during start-up phases, is
conveyed to the discharging pipe.
Provisions have been made in order to avoid vibration and stress to the pipe, due to the steam
pressure and flash.
No provision is required against overpressure because the tank is connected to the atmosphere.
Boiler drains and vents, discharging only at low pressure, are conveyed to this tank too.
The tank level is maintained by means of overflow pipe that discharge the water to the discharge pit.

4. OPERATING MODE
The foreseen motor operated valves are remotely controlled by the operator opening or closing the
related valves in order to maintain the steam purity.

5. CONTROL AND AUTOMATION REQUIREMENTS

Main measures on Boiler Blow-Down System are:
• blow-down tank
- condensate tank temperature, (based on 1 out of 1 logic); supervision purpose

Additional local measures are provided.

Detailed description of automation is given in the following documents:

• Boiler Water & Steam System Control Logic Diagram : 2097-1-I-G2-045; rev-00
• Boiler Water & Steam System Automation Logic Diagram : 2097-1-I-G2-046; rev-00
