third party parts with the original OEM parts, mill grinding fineness results
and mill air flow (MAF) data
Installation and modification of third party parts are under instruction from
POMI.
1. RECOMMENDATION
f. POMI separator top are welded to the mill body and need to
be removed for the bowl replacements. During this time,
POMI should consider implementing other major changes
such as Dynamic Classifier which will also eliminate the
need of the inner cone replacements, separator wear repairs
and also can increase mill capacity and operation
flexibilities.
2. STORM Engineering
Suggestion about air flow circulating in grinding rolls area by to
cutting inner cone and resetting clearance innervated cone
The decision of the parts to be installed on each mill were decided
by POMI.
.
III. MILL INSPECTIONS and COMPONENTS INSTALLATION
The scope for the mill refurbishment include a set program of mill parts
replacement in conjunction with a mill inspection of the mill internals,
covering the areas, detailed in the introduction. Details of the findings
during the various mill inspections are detailed in this section, together
with the various issue encountered during the replacement of the mill
parts, which included parts from GE, PAR Alloys and Storm
Technologies. No installation issue for all mill components supplied by
GE, but for other vendor, some modification should be done on some
parts to enable the installations. Below are the summaries of mill parts
installation on unit #8

Although most of the orifices are still in good conditions, all coal
pipe orifices were replaced with quick change orifice boxes
supplied by PAR Alloy.

2. Classifier Blades
As Found Classifier Blades:
Blades thinning were found on the existing classifier, especially on
the bottom edge of the blades. The worst thinning was found on
mill 8F which has reduce to half of its original thickness.

3. Inner Cone
Original thickness of the inner cone was 16 mm, wear resistance
plate (Cruesabro), the estimated remaining life on the mill 8F are
less than 10 years. It is recommended to replace those inner cones
with new one to avoid inner cone collapse or flow bypass during
operation. Erosion was also found on the inner side of the cone,
especially at the weld joints. These areas of erosion were repaired
by weld during retrofit.
The existing inner cone was modified as per STORM design
recommendation. The inner cone
opening was widened to 34.5 inch, the feed pipe was cut so the
perpendicular distance between the feed pipe to inner cone set to
12.5 inch and the inverted cone was raised so the opening become

4. Journal Head
As Found Journal Head Severe wear was found on the lower
section of journal head ribs C1, where the support for the journal
liner will no longer hold the bolts. All other journal heads were
relatively still in good conditions. Only one on C1 to replace take
ex. journal heads (ex .unit 7), (1 ea local fabrication trunnion due
to spare only 1 ea)

After all three grinding rolls were installed and tilted in placed,
it was noticed that no more thread left on the stop bolts to achieve
desired ring to roll clearance.
It was also noticed that the contact point between stop bolt and
journal head are not even between the right and the left side . The
right contact point position is more forward compared to the
left which causing the right contact point to bear a higher journal
assembly weight.

Most of bull ring segments were broken, but some were found to
be crack. According to GE recommendation, segments which are
found broken and cracked has a high risk of dislodgement during
operation and as such is recommended for replacement.

All bull rings segments supplied by PAR are plain and not
equipped with the ribbed Segments.GE original design for the bull
ring segments are equipped with the 8 (eight) ribbed segments,
installed at every 40 degrees. Those ribs were originally designed to
aid in initiating the grinding rolls to turn at start up.
The back end on the new segments are almost flat and the
recess is very narrow
The recess on the existing segments are much deeper and designed
to
break to protect the table from the direct impact of the grinding
roll.

8. Extension Rings
Existing extension rings were reused on mill 8F. Before the
extension ring re-used, those rings were refurbished by removing
existing shims. PAR supplied extension rings could not be used
due to the following reasons:
18
Retrofit mill 8F May

The bolts used to install the extension ring to the bowl were
ordered to be used with existing design. Due to lower height of the
new extension ring, the bolts could not hold the ring tightly.
9. Vane Wheels
As Found Vane Wheels
Minor to severe wear have been found on the vane wheel tip,
especially on the outboard edge.
Wingtips length also have been reduced from 82.5 mm to 80 – 69
mm. It was unknown why the wingtips length different, but during
4000 hrs maintenance interval, wear on some mills have been
repaired by patch weld by maintenance team. Existing vane wheels
condition.

PAR vane wheels are higher (272 mm) , compared to the original
(260 mm)
This higher vane causing the baffle plate installation to be lowered
by 12 mm compared to the previous installation. Fortunately, no
additional plate required to close the
gap between separator body with the baffle plate.

Fabricated lower baffle plates were not rolled perfectly and still
having straight section on each edge . These straight sections were
causing difficulties in maintain the clearance between the vane
wheels to the baffle plate and the installation as well.

Basic Function
Removes tramp iron and any other difficult to grind material from
the mill to a pressurized storage hopper for periodic removal.
Tramp iron or dense, difficult to grind foreign material normally
found in the coal is carried over the top of the bowl where it drops
out through the air stream to the mill bottom.

17. Feeder
The feeder delivers the coal in to the pulverizer center feed pipe.
The pulverizer it self has no inherent way of regulating the
incoming raw coal flow.
31
Retrofit mill 8F May

The equipment used for controlling the coal feed rate is the Stock
'Gravimetric' feeder. There is one feeder for each pulverizer.
Coal from the silo's downspout drops on to a belt which travels at a
speed dictated by the feeder speed control network in response to
loading signals from the boiler combustion control system and the
weight correction circuit. 'Gravimetric' means that the coal is
weighed to precisely calculate and control the desired feed rate.
