START UP PROCEDURE OF AFBC

1. Start ID fans, PA fans & FD fans.

2. Maintain furnace draught @ -3 mmwc.
3. Open PA & FD damper of compartments no.1 &4.
4. Set FD air flow @ 50 TPH .
5. Chage Bed material from compt.no.1 & 4.
6. Open PA & FD dampers of compatment no.2 & 4 intermittently to allow
fluidisation /bed material flow.
7. Charge Bedmaterial till wind box pre.>450mmwc in all four compartments.
(Static Bed ht.should be 350mmwc)
8. Check fludisation in all compartments.
9. After satisfactory fluidisation & bedht.achieved close PA & FD dampers of
compartments no.2, 3 & 4 .Keep open only 1st compatment PA & FD damper.
10. Keep open Bleed off v/vs of compartments no.2,3,&4.
11. Start boiler fill pump & ensure water flow through compt.no.1 DP plate.
12. Set FD air flow through compt.no.1 @ 35-40 TPH.
13. Start pilot burner.
14. Take one main oil burner after ensuring stable flame of pilot burner.
15. Take 2nd main burner in line only after achieving HGG O/L temp.>250c.
16. HGG O/L Temp.should not increase more than 800c.
17. Clean all PA lines of compt.-1 & increase PA header pressure @ 1200mmwc.
18. Gradually raise bed temperature of compt.1 up to 550C .
19. Start coal feeding through coal feeder with minimum speed.(@ 20%
reference)
20. Check furnace for proper fluidization & sparking of coal/flame of coal in
furnace.
21. Adjust coal feeding & raise bed temperature upto 850C .
22. Give short mixing(@ 2 to3 min.) in compatment no.2 by opening PA & FD
dampers to raise bed temperature .At the time of mixing bed temp.of compt.1
dropped sharply.
Note: Do not allow to drop bed temperature below 800C in compartment no.1
at the time of mixing in compt.2 i.e.close PA & FD line dampers of compt.2
when bed temp.in compt.1 reaches up to 800C.
23. After @ three to four mixing bed temp. in compt.2 raise upto 600C.
 24. Then Keep open PA & FD line dampers of compartment no.2 & charge coal
through coal feeders with minimum speed. Adjust the coal feeding & raise bed
temperature upto 850C.
25. Close all steam side vents when drum pressure increase 2 to 3 kg/cm2.Keep
start up vent fully open to raise steam temp.& for circulation of steam flow
through tubes.
26. Close steam side drains when drum pressure reaches more than 5kg/cm2.
27. Adjust air flow & coal feeding in compt.1 & 2 to maintain
bedtemperature@850C.
28. Stop the burner when bed temperature in both the compartments are healthy.
29. Raise the steam pressure & temperature gradually.
30. When boiler steam pressure reaches upto 58kg/cm2 & steam outlet temp.upto
480C open stopv/v.
31. Close startupventv/v gradually by maintaining steam pressure & temperature.
32. Now boiler in line with another running boiler(CFBC).
33. Increase coal feeding as per requirement to maintain boiler pressure & steam
temperature.
34. Give three to four mixings as mention above in 3rd compartment & raise its
bed temp. upto 600C.
35. Charge coal with minimum speed in compartment no.3 & raise bed temp.
@850C by adjusting air flow(65TPH) & Coal feeding.
36. Adjust attemperature c/v to maintain steam outlet temperature.
37. Same way compartment no.4 to betaken in service as per steam load demand.
38. Stop the boiler fill pump when HGG O/L temp.<250C.
39. Close HGG augmentation air damper.
