Ensure that thrust bearing oil level is greater than 40%. Restore the power supply of Discharge valve and its IBV. Its discharge valve is kept open in standby condition. Restore the power supply of CEP main motor Release local EPB of CEP main motor Select the pump as standby

c) CHECKS BEFORE STARTING THE PUMP: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Check the hot well level is normal i.e 470 MM . CEP is in normalized condition as stated above. Confirm from the operator that local line up is normal and ensure that thrust bearing oil level is greater than 40%. Pump can be started in standby mode with discharge valve open OR in normal mode with discharge valve closed. Pump recirculation valve is to be kept open at above 40% & in manual Start the CEP and open the recirculation valve to establish minimum recirculation flow and observe current, flow, vibration, bearing temperatures, winding temperatures and see that discharge pressure very low switch for tripping has been reset. Confirm from the operator that all parameters are normal in local. When we charge condensate lines from hot well to deaerator during initial periods of start up, ( we run only one CEP with its recirculation valve full open and proper venting of all lines will be done slowly by just opening the IBV of its discharge valve. )

Check the values of suction pressure, discharge pressure, DP across suction strainer, 3. Thrust bearing oil level, and Thrust bearing oil temperature at local from the operator. 4. Confirm from the operator that thrust bearing oil level is > 40 % and pump are normal. 5. Any possible air ingress into the system through the CEP system .

Function of Economiser Recirculation

1. Eco Recir. Valve must be open a) To maintain flow in economiser to prevent steaming in it b) To avoid any overheating of economiser tubes which can occur at high flue gas temp. 2. Eco Recir. Valve must be closed when sufficient continous water flow through economiser is established (i.e. after charging HP/LP Bypass System(>25%) or after unit synchronisation)

BOILER CHEMICAL DOSING a) TSP (Tri sodium Phosphate- Na3PO4) b) Hydrazine (N2H4 ) c) Ammonia (NH3) d) Sodium hydroxide
a) Main purpose of phosphate treatment: 1. React with salts of Mg&Ca to form sludge and is drained through CBD 2. To increase the PH in boiler

b) Hydrazine (N2H4 ): to remove oxygen (Oxidation of metal takes place in presence of oxygen) N2H4= N2+H2O (But at higher temp. >2000C , hydrazine is converted into ammonia) c) Ammonia(NH3): to increase PH d) Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) : to increase PH
