De concentration/Blowdown; Boiler blowdown is water intentionally wasted from a boiler to avoid concentration of impurities during continuing evaporation of steam.

avoid concentration of impurities during continuing evaporation of steam.The water is blown out of the boiler

with some force by steam pressure within the boilerBoiler blowdown is basically the removal of water from a boiler Its purpose is to control boiler water parameters withi prescribed limits to minimize scale, corrosion, carryover, and other specific problems .Blowdown is
also used to remove suspended solids present in the system. These solids are caused by feed water contamination, by internal chemical treatment precipitates, or by exceeding the solubility limits of otherwise soluble salts

De aeration Process;A deaerator is a device that is widely used for the removal of air and other dissolved gases from the feed water to steam generating boilers.In particular, dissolved oxygen in boiler feed waters will cause serious corrosion damage in steam systems by
attaching to the walls of metal piping and other metallic equipment and forming oxides (rust).It also combines with any dissolved carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid that causes further corrosion.

Demineralization / Ion exchange process;Ion exchange as the name suggests means that exchange occurs in the process. A process that exchanges one charged particle with another. The impurities that occur in water are charged particles, making the process vital in boiler
treatment process. The process takes place in the closed container which is partially filled with charged resin. The resin is insoluble, material made up of plastic and is capable of substitution for another ion. There are two types of ions involved in the process and each one is
capable of changing the other. The types are as•Cation = positively charged Ions•Anion = negatively charged Ions

The gas turbine Power Plant essentially consists of comprecor. combustion Chamber and turbine.The air is comprased in compressor, and a fuel is burnt in a combushan Chomber when the comprased air is Supplied from the Comprasas. The burned high temp. gases are
passed through the turbine The part of work developed by the gases passing through the turbine is used to run the compressor and remaining (30-35%) is used to generate the electric energy

A open cycle gas turbine consists of a Compressor, combustion Chamber and a turbine. The compressor takes in ambient air and raises it's pressure. This high pressure compressed air is then Passed to combustion chamber. The heat is added to the air in combustion
chamberburning the fuel and raises its temperature.

The Products of combustion get mixed up with Compressed air, thus increasing the mass of compressed air. The heated gases coming out! of combustion Chamber are then Passed to the turbine where it expands doing mechanical work. Part of the power developed by
turbine is utilized in driving the compressor and other accessories and remaining is used for Power generation since ambient air enters into the compressor and gases coming out of turbine are exhausted into the atmosphere, the working medium must be replaced
continuously. This type of cycle is known as open cycle gas turbine Plant & is mainly used in majorily of gas turbine Power Plants as it has many interent advantages

In clased cycle gas turbine Plant, the Working fiurd (air or gas) coming out from compressor is heated in a heates by an external soure by a at constant pressure. The high temperature and high pressure air. coming out from the heater is Passed through the gas turbine
The fluid coming out from the turbine is cooled to its original temperature in the cooling Chamber using external cooling source before Passing to the compressor. The working fluid is continuously used in the system without its change of Phase and the required heat is
given to the working flurd in heat exchangez (heater)

Main flow is made workable and arranging of piping equipment with heaters, bypasses, shut offs, drain lines, relief valves, strainers and filters, flow meters and temperature indicators.• The flow plans depends on type of fuel, engine equipment and size of the plant.•
The main storage tank contains manholes for repairs, fill lines to receive oil, vent lines to discharge vapour, overflow return lines for controlling oil flow and suction line to withdraw oil.• Day tanks supply the daily fuel needs of the engine i.e. for 8 hrs.These tanks are

The air intake system conveys fresh air through pipes or ducts to the engine. Filters used to catch dirt particles in the air.Filters are of dry or oil bath types are used. Silencer is provided in between the engine and intake.
