Bed material
Charcoal
Check the bed material & char coal are free from moisture.
First compartment to 280 MM of WC from DP plate for reduction of charcoal and diesel
consumption.
Bed material to be filled and level of defluidised bed should be 350 MM of WC.
Fill the water and keep the drum level 30-35%.Irrescpective of drum level 30-35% take water into
drum through economiser initial fill up line and drain excess quantity to avoid any starvation of
4.Ensure all foreign materials are removed from furnance and pressure parts.
4. LDO pump.
Check for dry fuel(0-6 MM) is available in bunker and gates below bunker are open and fuel is
Check instrument air pressure is available at the required pressure (7 to 7.5 Kg/sqcm) for
isolation valves.
3. Add gas plenum pressure P2( Furnace draught) to P1.(P2+P1) is the pressure drop across
5. The pressure drop across bed is obtained for various air flow.
6. The air flow at which fludisation starts is noted and will be maintained at the time of mixing.
A fixed quantity of dry charcoal (400 Kgs i.e 20 Kg.per M3 area of bed)is spread uniformly over the
start up compartment.
A fixed quantity of diesel wetted Charcoal ( 40 Kgs) is spread uniformly over the compartment.
Start PA Fan and Maintain header pressure of 750 to 900 Mm of WC based on bed material
fludization.
Start the FD fan and maintain bed pressure 150 – 250 mmwc.
Start the LD oil pump and maintain the oil pressure between 6.0 – 8.0 kg/cm.sq( Recirculation
Ensure all the oil burner nozzles are free from blockage and flush out some diesl through the
nozzles.
Charge the atomizing air line and fix the oil gun to the furnace.
Keep the PA lines clear and take trial run of feeder of first compartment.
Increase the FD air flow gradually to allow proper fludization of bed material & char coal and
allow 5-10 minutes to ignite charcoal and mix the bed by varying air flow.
Initally the top bed temperature will raise and at the time of mixing temperature drops and
When the bed temperatures reaches 450-600 Deg C start the drag chain coal feeder.
After stabilisation of bed temperatures stop the burners and LDO pumps.
Close all air vents when the drum pressure reaches between 2 to 3 kg/cm.sq.
Ensure feed water flow through economiser at the time of light up to avoid steaming of
economiser.
Open the MSSV bypass valve when the steam pressure reaches 60 - 70 kg/cm.sq. and temperature
Open the Stop valve when the staem line after MSSV boiler out let reaches the steam pressure 65 -
75 kg/cm.sq. and temperature reaches between 400 to 450 deg.C. and close the Bypass valve.
Charge the ESP fields when the ESP inlet flue gas temp reaches >120 deg.C and start the ash
handling system.
Maintain the steam pressure 85 kg/cm.sq and steam tenperature 515 deg.C and stable the boiler.
