Main Plant Operational Procedure: Boiler Systems

1. System Description: The Boiler System uses ____ to generate heat for the use in the steam
turbine.

A. LFO (Light Fuel Oil) B. Burners C. Coal D. Furnace

ANSWER: C. Coal

2. System Description: Secondary air fans provide the preheated fluidizing air. Primary air fan
provide pre-heated combustion air. Nozzles in the furnace walls at various levels distribute the
combustion air in the furnace.

TRUE FALSE
ANSWER: FALSE

3. System Description: For high Sulphur coals Limestone addition to the bed material reduces
SO2 emissions. CFB Boiler uses crushed coal of ___ size.

A. Powdered B. 5 to 10 mm C. 3 to 6 mm D. 2 to 5 mm
ANSWER: C. 4 to 6 mm

4. Pre-Start: VERIFY 1 hour ahead, DCS System is operable to allow system operation and
control from the Control Room.
TRUE FALSE
ANSWER: FALSE

5. Pre-Start: VERIFY Compressed Air System is in operation and able to support start-up of the
Boiler System.
VERIFY Instrument Air is > ___ MPa.
VERIFY Maintenance Air is > ___ MPa.

A. 5 / 55 B. .5 / 0.55 C. 0.6 / 0.66 D. 0.6 / 0.56

ANSWER: B. .5 / 0.55

6. Start-up: VERIFY Boiler Cold Start-up conditions: Pressure in Boiler __ MPa

 A. 0.1 B. 0 C. 0.5 D. 1
ANSWER: B. 0

7. Start-up: VERIFY Boiler Cold Start-up conditions: Turbine is soak at 1080rpm for __
minutes.

A. 40 B. 45 C. 60 D. 30
ANSWER: A. 40

8. Shutdown: MONITOR during unloading of the steam turbine that the HP and IP-LP bypass
control valves shall be opened manually by the corresponding pressure controllers (CLIENT),
AND Closely MONITOR the steam drum level swelling and condenser level by the time
during load reduce.
TRUE FALSE
ANSWER: FALSE

9. Shutdown: Shut off the gland steam supply to the turbine gland prior to stop of evacuation and
breaking of condenser vacuum, that can lead to damage to turbine glands caused by excessive
temperature change.

TRUE FALSE
ANSWER: FALSE

10. Shutdown: CONFIRM “Turning Gear engaged automatically” when it reaches 0 rpm, THEN
VERIFY after few seconds on the turning gear operation nominal speed 17 rpm.
