Warning: Before forcing any logic signals, verify

their correctness and pay attention on the logic
involved, in order to avoid problems for safety
7.1. of plant.
Note: the list of signals to be forced must be
approved by commissioning engineering
department.
Warning: During all tests never exceeds max

BHGE strongly recommends that a log book is

kept by the startup engineer responsible to
coordinate the activities. As minimum, the log
book should contain the following information:
- Time for each main event (start, stop, trip,
synchronization, etc.)
- Forced signals
- Alarms and other events to be investigated
7.4. - Main parameters (speed, load, etc.)
identifying the startup plan progress
- Observations, notes, dispositions for next
activities, etc.
In case the activities are organized by shifts,
the incoming team leader must record his
taking ownership of the responsibility by
signing the log book at each shift change.

Warning:
An off-line water wash is required before first
firing in order to remove axial compressor
internal preservation treatments, preventing
that the combustion of the preservation
product may damage the internal parts of the
turbine. In general, an actual Water Wash
should have been performed as one of the last
steps of commissioning. Note that after an off
7.5.
line water wash the gas turbine MUST be
started on FIRE within few hours for drying,
otherwise oxidation of internal parts might
occur. Correct planning of the water wash just
when ready for startup must be implemented.

plant and all safety applicable rules.
Warning: The leakage test activity must be
executed by trained and experienced personnel,
in sufficient number, leaving redundant
supervisors in charge for continuous monitoring.
7.14.
Consider work permit requirements according to
plant regulations. Confined space prescriptions
may also apply, depending on specific enclosure
arrangement.
Check the position of the guillotine on the
WHRU duct. If it is necessary, for safety
reasons, to prevent that any hot gas can reach
7.15. the WHRU, it will be necessary to close the O W SOM6770884 NA NA V NA
damper AND the guillotine, making sure that the
seal air blower(s) are activated.

NOTE: BHGE does not require to perform any

SOLO run of the gas turbine, therefore the
first startup can be done leaving the load
coupling between the GT and the Load Gearbox

- In order to minimize risk, the machine must be placed in minimum speed condition consistent with the activities and inspections to be performed.
- The ventilation system must be operating without anomalies. De-activation of the ventilation system is strictly forbidden.
- The gas detection system must be active and correctly maintained with no anomalies detected.
- The oxygen content and presence of fuel gas must be checked to verify that they are in the acceptable range. If necessary, depending on the type of fuel, the CO and/or H2S level must also be
checked by means of portable gas detectors.
- If there is an extinguishing device, the system must be mechanically disabled, closing and locking the block valves; a Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) procedure must be applied.
- Portable fire extinguishers must be easily accessible and ready to use.
- The fire and gas detection and signaling system must be kept on. In the event of a detection signal, personnel must leave the turbine enclosure immediately even if fire is not apparent
- After entering the GT enclosure, the door must be closed to ensure proper operation of the gas detection system. The door must be provided with a system for the opening of ventilation doors by
8.3.26. ventilation loads. Access to the GT enclosure under running conditions with the door closed is prohibited unless access routes are provided for routine maintenance activities and adequate methods
of escape exist. An individual should be present outside the enclosure to monitor activities and take emergency action if a hazardous situation arises. This external person must be in contact with
personnel in the control room.
When the enclosure door is closed, the external person should monitor activities from a position close to the door with line of sight to the activity being undertaken. The external person must
have mechanisms and means for monitoring personnel within the enclosure. Where line of sight cannot be achieved, other methods must be used to enable an alarm to be raised if an incident occurs.
- The external person must be equipped with a portable fire-extinguisher.
- Before entering the enclosure, verify that the turbine is running normally and that no abnormal operation or transient conditions are expected.
- Access to any area, which is accessible with difficulty or is without easy egress, is prohibited.
- Avoid contact with hot parts and wear thermal insulating gloves.
- The procedure must also guarantee that after the activities have been completed and the personnel have exited the enclosure, the fire protection system will be reactivated
