How to do RLA Study of Boiler

-

 

Procedure for RLA Study

Power plant equipment and its components are operated into hi temperature, frequent fluctuation of pressure and temperature, frequent start/stop, erosion and corrosion environment. Collect the operation data identify the critical items and formulate plan for inspection. Flow diagram for RLA procedure is like below fig.


Boiler RLA:

Critical pressure parts of Boiler are:

·       Drum- steam

·       Headers- both steam and water

·       Tubing- Super heater, water wall, economizer

·       Piping- Steam and feedwater

·       Deaerator

·       Attemperator

Based on the inspection and operating data analysis decision is to be taken which parts can be Run- Repair- Remove.

What are the types of CFBC Boiler

-

 CFBC technology:   Coal was the main fuel in power plant and cost of coal was very cheap before 80s in India. I have seen the power plant used the coal of GCV 4000kcal/kg to 5000kcal/kg. But gradually as the industries grow up,   the demand for various grades of coal are increased and cost of generation is becoming the predominant factor. Secondly the supply of high grade coal also comes down due to depletion of coal in mines. So need of the usage of lower grade of coal arises, First AFBC technology and later on CFBC technology of Boiler are developed to use the lower grade of coal   from 2200Kcal//kg to 3000Kcal//Kg of GCV. What are the other benefits of CFBC technology? 1.        High combustion efficiency: as high as 98% 2.        Wide range of fuel can be used: lower grade of fuel i.e sponge iron kiln reject (dolochar )GCV as low as 1000 kcal/kg can be used with mixing with higher grade of coal , coal m...

Reason For Silica Deposition In Turbine

  Silica Deposition in Turbine How is silica coming to turbine? There are two types silica : 1. Colloidal Silica: SiO2-O-SiO2-  More prevalent in water from surface source pH>7,, this is insoluble and mainly removed by UF, Coagulation, Nano filtration. 2. Reactive Silica: (OH)3Si-O- This is soluble  and removed by EDI (Electro deionisation), RO. But  Silica is coming in turbine through steam from Boiler. Silica in steam should be less than 0.02ppm . It can be increased due to following reason: 1.        High silica level in steam drum: : Silica in drum should be less than 2ppm upto 100ata drum pr ref fig below (drum pr vs silica level and pH) .If it increases above this value, blow down (IBD and CBD ) should be operated to control the silica level.   Secondly it can be seen when boiler is not properly cleaned during commissioning time. It can also be seen due to lower steam separator efficiency in boiler drum. 2.   ...
