growth but very critical in sustaining a nation’s progress. For some reasons, the rapid
increase in population and other growing interrelated demand of power. Currently system
load of Mindanao island or Mindanao grid requires 1,242 MW capacity in which the
known generation capacity is only 1,045 MW. A study according to the Mindanao Power
to 197 MW.
In view of the early projection, our company “ MINDANAO ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC.” was
formed. Despite of the current situation, in the late 1980’s Cagayan de Oro City had been
experiencing a power problem which resulted to power shading in the area. And in the

A project implementation is usually prepared and started by plant lay outing to make sure
to have accessibility for the mobilization of the equipment in the site and lastly, the
removal of the soil surface which is usually treated as contaminated materials. Since
which often influenced the design of the project as well as its foundation. The uncertainty
makes foundation design suitable to the area of interest. Physical exploration and
investigation of the ground by means of bore holes gives appropriate data needed for
Geotechnical engineering is the study of ground soil analysis. In the project of 27.4 MW
Wartsila Diesel Power Plant this study is applied and conducted soil penetration test which
derived soil jet grouting in order to place the load to the depth where the soil description
is stable in terms of bearing capacity . Refer from the Field Log of Bore holes attached,
explains the making of the decision which was conducted by Peter Ground Improvement,
Inc. a foundation engineering and specialty contractors. The average total depth of the
boreholes in which there are traces of sandy and gravel description of soil is twenty one
(21) meters. Since it very deep the mitigation is jet grouting of concrete material with
9
reinforce bar of twenty three(23) mm diameter. Second purpose is to make sure that the
adjacent plant nearby will not be affected during construction. Most specially if the
adjacent plant is a power generating unit, their alignment between the generator and the
engine where taken into consideration. And also other delicate equipment alignment such
as high speed turbo charger. Finally, to ensure guaranteed safety in the establishments
nearby avoid huge intensity of vibration during construction such as hammering of pile
grout.
In soil penetration test the hammer weight should be 63.5 kgs. and the spoon length is
0.46m to 0.76m long. The dropping height of the hammer should be 0.75m. The number of
blows between thirty(30) to fifty(50) per foot characterized a compact dense soil. More
than that number of blows per foot consider hard compact soil. Pls. refer chart on the
following page.

The ground under the foundation block shall be made of compacted sand and gravel,
having good carrying capacity, thus preventing any portion of the foundation block
from tilting, slipping or sinking. Before the construction of foundation block, concreted
load distribution pad shall be made about 153mm thick to ensure load balance distribution
to the concentrated area of interest or to obtain the bearing area. The total equipment
and foundation weight is harmoniously set in this pad, other known as wall footing.
And this footing is reinforced under by twelve(12) structures of jet grouting pile so
arrange in two(2) column equally distanced. Jet grouting pile depth is about twenty
one(21) meters long as discussed in the site preparation and soil investigation chapter.
The reinforce bar of the jet grouting pile of twenty three(23)mm diameter is extended
above the distribution pad long enough to hold or connect to the reinforce bars of the
foundation structure.

chipping or similar methods should be made. A rough surface will aid adhesion. This is
done before loading the equipment to the foundation. A minimum of ten(10) days
before the equipment should be mounted to the foundation as standard from section
2.4.2.C.3.A of the PSME CODE. Observed foundation elevation for any sinking
movement that is occurring over period of time after the generating unit was placed,
maybe three(3) weeks without movement will proceed. Final surface preparation in
the equipment’s foundation requires a standard from the manufacturer’s point of view.
The surface in contact with the engine fixing rail bed and the generator must be
well leveled. The tolerance of the top surface should be plus or minus 0.50 mm
smoothness. The difficulty of achieving the result requires more time using traditional
set up which uses concrete grouting material to the anchor bolts in the pocket and
engine fixing rail bed seat. Quick dry grouting epoxy is applied in the 27.4 MW
Wartsila project for it is more advantageous than the concrete. It has flowage
shock load, can be used in much thinner cross section, exhibits negligible shrinkage and
extremely high compressive tensile strength in a short period of time. The epoxy
grouting materials typically consists of base resins and a hardener that are mixed at the
job site immediately before placement. Foundation surface preparation and anchor
bolt pocket to which epoxy grout is applied will be carefully cleaned, leaving
surface free from all foreign materials, oil, grease and etc. If unsound concrete is
surfaces and anchor bolt pockets are ready as per checklist standard, level the
engine fixing rail bed through jack bolts leaving the grout clearance thickness
which is 50.8 mm and anchor bolts should be properly in place in the pocket. After
grouting activities wait until 28 hrs. and inspection will be conducted for any
phases, first is 170 Nm, second is 350Nm and last is the final torque of 700 Nm
per Wartsila manual specifications. But before doing the tightening be sure all the
19
jack bolts where loosen. The reason of phasing the tightening is to avoid thermal
shock on the bolt caused by friction when tighten. Attached are the specific of fixing rail
bed leveling and anchor bolts grouting activities as seen in the following pages.

When the engine is properly set and the grout is already cured, it is the time to adjust
the 304 pieces of 24mm bolt head engine rubber plate to a final torque of 170 Nm per
26
manual specification. Each side has 152 pieces and is adjusted gradually half turn each run
per bolt synchronized to its opposite pair in the other side of the engine. Attached is the
procedural checklist as shown in the next page. These rubber plates absorbs the vibration
of the engine during operation. When finished it means the engine is well balanced and
ready for coupling alignment activity. Engine total weight sets in these rubber plates.
27
III.XVI Coupling Axial, Angular and Lateral Alignment;
Coupling alignment between the engine and the generator must be done patiently with
accuracy, referring to the manual alignment should be within the tolerable range. The
tools needed in aligning the coupling is the dial indicator and hydraulic jack enough to
move a very heavy equipment. Since the engine side is properly fixed this our reference
point deriving parallelism and axial alignment. Manual serves us a guide in determining
bit offset parallel alignment. Facing the engine at flywheel coupling end with clockwise
rotation of the engine, generator coupling center is offset to the right of up to 0.25mm
from the center of the engine coupling as shown in the drawing below. And the
generator coupling center must be lower than the engine coupling center at a range of
1~1.5 mm.
28
Figure above is the final coupling alignment of Wartsila engine # 2 and the generator.
There is main reason why alignment is offset to the right, the generator and lower a little
bit from the engine. First the generator is slightly offset to the right, it is because the
engine is the driver and it rotates clockwise. In this manner the coupling bolts that
holds the driven equipment when the engine started to run, the bolt face and bolt hole
face in the driven side is already seated tightly without clearance in order to avoid
tearing the bolt hole in the driven side cause by tremendous load impact during starting.
And the driven is a little bit lower than the driver because this engine sets on the
rubber plate as stated above. This rubber plate has compressibility than metal plate,
giving allowance to engine side for compressibility of the plate. When elastical
flywheel coupling finally aligned, electrical personnel took exciter and rotor air gap
clearance to ensure generator is well balance and side play or thrust clearance free of
the results are recommendable. Then take crankshaft deflection measurement and
29
prepare again epoxy grouting material to fixed the generator side. From the experiences,
we learned that the best time to schedule grouting activity would be during night time,
to slowly cure the grouting material. If the grouting fiber settles gradually it makes the

III.XX Design and Installation of Exhaust Gas Pipe, Charge Air Pipe and Bellows;
Generating unit should be installed in its final position before any external pipes are
connected. In the installation of exhaust gas bellows after the turbo charger make sure
to put protection cover on the upper flange of the bellows in order to keep debris and
welding sparks from falling into the turbine side of the turbo charger. Set first straightly the
flexible bellows and adjust it to its correct length, L using threaded stud bolt support long
enough connecting both flange end of the bellows with an adjusting nut after the flanges.
Please refer to the table 1-0. And finally install it to counter flange of the turbo charger.

III.XXV Design, Installation and Operation of Fuel Oil System;
When working with the fuel oil system, always observed the utmost cleanliness. Pipes,
tanks and fuel treatment equipment such as pumps, filters, heaters and viscometers
should be carefully cleaned before put into use. Fuel piping system before final
installation to the complete fuel oil system will undergo chemical acid pickling process for
four(4) to five(5 ) hours using ten(10) percent hydrochloric acid and ten(10) percent
formalin inhibitor. Inhibitor is alkaline base solution, to control or retard the strength of
acid reaction to the pipe. The very purpose of this process is to clean out all welding sludge
inside the pipe during fabrication stage in which metal sludge is dangerous to piston
and cylinder mating contact and other mating parts inside the engine. After pickling
the pipeline should be rinse with neutralizing solution of ten(10) percent caustic soda
for twenty(20) minutes making sure acid reaction during pickling is stop. And then rinse it
with hot water in few minutes. When all the fuel treatment auxiliaries and pipes are in
placed or installed ready for operation before the final connection to the generating
engine oil flushing should be conducted using recommended flushing oil. If possible
pressure of the circulating flushing oil should be at least 1.5 times the working pressure to
ensure proper final cleaning along the system. The higher the pressure to cause turbulent
flow of the flushing medium the better. Before the flushing oil goes into the flushing tank,
it should be provided with filter easy to inspect for monitoring purposes. When starting
the oil flushing bigger mesh of the filter is used until it will become smaller if observed
foreign dirt is already fine. When the oil flushing is observed clean the final filter 30
microns mesh is installed for final circulation for couples of hour depending on the
appearance of the flushing oil filter. In the system where fuel final filter casing is
already installed during flushing, the 20 microns mesh filter will be inserted when flushing
filter before the flushing tank is observed clean as stated above for final oil flushing
36
circulation and it is also clean periodically same thing on the filter at end of the circulation
before the flushing tank. When the flushing oil is observed clean it is the time to connect
the fuel auxiliary system to the engine. The auxiliary boiler should be in function for heat
source of the flushing oil temperature as required per manual recommendation. Flushing
Heavy Fuel Oil Purifier will purify fuel by centrifugal process meaning the denser the object
moves outward from the center of the bowl to separate from the fuel of lesser density.
The heavier object is thrown to the sealing water inside the bowl located in the
perimeter circumference of the bowl’s inside diameter. And lighter fuel oil remain in the
center of the bowl passing through a set of disks so design for filtering and collected by a
paring disc out from separator to the service tank ready for use.

the free end of the isolating hose to external piping of the engine. The hose shall be bend
to 500 mm length as shown in the diagram. Anchor the pipe near the flange rigidly to
prevent bursting of hose cause by engine vibration. Most common cause of bursting is
poor clamping. Purpose of the hose is to isolate engine vibration to external pipe.

The pressure gauge 1 on the instrument panel and a pressure sensor 2 connected to
the fuel oil supply line indicate the fuel oil pressure before the engine. The pressure
sensor 2 is fitted for remote indication and alarms. Leaking fuel oil from injection
system is collected in a leak fuel manifold 3 into the hot box and pump back to the
settling tank. Turning the pressure regulating valve 5 clockwise to achieve higher pressure
and counter-clockwise to lower. Pre-adjustment, raise the pressure in the fuel oil system
by closing the pressure regulating valve clockwise until booster pump pressure reaches 12
bar. Then finally adjust pressure regulating valve by opening counter-clockwise to level
of the operating pressure of fuel oil, 7.0 bar to 9.0 bar per WARTSILA MANUAL

III.XXV.II Operation Instructions;
The engine is designed for continuous heavy fuel service. It can be started and stopped on
heavy fuel oil provided that the fuel is heated to the correct temperature and viscosity. For
medium speed engine as per recommendation taken from viscosity, temperature and type
of heavy fuel oil standard, the viscosity value will range from 10cSt to 12 cSt and the
temperature ranges from 110 ̊C to 130 ̊C. See attached table. This treatment occurred in
the fuel conditioning booster and includes pressure requirement with a range from
7 bars to 9 bars before the fuel injection valves. Fuel oil system starts from tank
farm and is conveyed by pumping into the settling tank where the first filtering is
occurred through settling process. It is heated 10 ̊C lesser than the flash point
temperature of Bunker C fuel to avoid ignition. The heavier density objects separate
from the fuel oil settling down to the bottom of the tank. From settling tank heavy fuel
oil is pump to the fuel oil purifier for purification by centrifugal process and goes through
the service tank where fuel is considered clean and ready for service. From the service
tank the fuel is pump to the fuel conditioning booster for treatment per former
discussions. The pressure of fuel is regulated here by installing a pressure regulating valve
at the end of the pipe fuel manifold of the fuel conditioning booster and before the
return fuel line going through the settling tank, it ranges from 3.0 bars to 4.0 bars. The
pressure can be adjusted by installing a by-pass line on the fuel manifold before the
pressure regulating valve with a valve connecting to the return line after the said regulating
valve. Passing to the fuel conditioning booster the fuel is then pump to the final filter and
up through the distribution pipe manifold of the fuel injection valve before per cylinders.
The fuel in the manifold is regulated again by putting a non-return regulating valve at the
end of the return line manifold after the fuel injection valves before going back to
the fuel conditioning unit as discussed in item number V.I.I. Excess fuel from the
injection valve will return to fuel conditioning unit’s de-aerator tank for the purpose of
48
When the generating unit is scheduled for long stand-by be sure to stop the engine after
operation with a diesoline fuel to prevent fuel line from clogging. Bunker C fuel when cold
is very viscos and can cause hard starting of the engine. And from long stand-by make sure
to start up the engine with diesoline again allowing to build up working temperature of the
mating parts to avoid thermal shock. Gradual loading of the engine should be arranged
giving all moving parts to expand properly due to temperature increase. Pre-start up guide
lines, make sure tanks level are checked. Before running the fuel conditioning booster, air
run the engine with the indicator or test cock open for the purpose of relieving impurities
inside the combustion chamber. At least heavy fuel oil is heated 85 °C per experienced
in Sulzer standard. This could be applied because the engines are using the same bunker
C, on that temperature it satisfy the viscosity. Make sure engine control mechanism such
as pump rack lever is free moving. The best way to do this is fill up the pre-start up
temperature of a certain fuel oil to feed to the fuel injection pump of the generating unit.
Viscosity is a measurement of flowage of a certain fluid, derives from how long the fluid
will pass through the standard orifice area at a certain degree of temperature, in mm²/sec
degree centigrade. In the fuel oil system viscometer is installed in the fuel conditioning
recommended for medium speed engine. And the viscometer operation is constantly
vibrating inside the pipeline in which the intensity of vibration is controlled by the fuel oil
having identified viscosity from heating passing through it. When the fuel oil is viscos it will
slow down the intensity of vibration and this vibration measurement is converted
49
electronically into centistoke unit. The diagonal line inside the abscissa and the ordinate
specify the type of fuel the generating unit is used. The following page is the Viscosity –

III.XXVI Design, Installation and Operation of Lubrication Oil System;
Utmost cleanliness should be observed when treating the lubricating oil system. Dirt, metal
particles and similar that may cause serious damage in the bearing should be eliminated.
When installing pipes or other details from the lubricating system extra procedural care
should be followed. The same thing should be done as discussed in the installation of
fuel oil system like chemical de-scaling and acid pickling. During installation all openings
should be cover with blank gasket or tapes. When all pipes and auxiliaries are installed
the same thing is done, oil flushing will be conducted before final connection to the
generating system. What makes the difference are the final filter mesh used and the
temperature requirement during flushing. Lubrication oil system needs 60 microns mesh
and 70 ⁰C temperature. The following pages illustrate the lubrication oil treatment
auxiliaries installation. In the installation process there are several critical issues to be
discussed per manufacturer’s manual criteria. Like, before any external connection of
piping system the engine and the generator must be aligned to its final position. All these

The engine is provided with a centrifugal by-pass filter as complement to the main filter.
The very purpose of this is to indicate the quality of lubrication oil. The filter comprises a
housing containing a hardened steel spindle on which a dynamically balanced rotor is free
to rotate. The oil flows through the housing, up to the central spindle 2 into the rotor. The
65
rotor has two compartment, the cleaning and the driving chamber. The oil flows from the
central tube 13 into the upper part of the rotor subject to high centrifugal force and dirt is
thrown to the walls of the rotor. And the flow of clean oil through the nozzles provides a

III.XXVI.II Operation Instructions;
The engine is lubricated by wet sump oil system where the oil is mainly treated outside the
engine by continuous purification and filtering. The main function for the oil lubrication
are preventing metal to metal contact at the bearing surface, heat transfer cause by
friction and cleaning. Various auxiliary devices guarantee that oil lubrication is first rate in
all circumstances. The built-in oil pump takes suction from the wet sump and discharge it
under pressure through a pressure regulating valve to the LO cooler, regulated oil pressure
range is 4~8 bars. On the discharge side of the cooler there is a mixing type thermostatic
valve which control the oil flow to the cooler. The oil will by-pass the oil cooler if the
temperature drops below the set point of the thermostatic valve which is equivalent to
63 ̊C. After the cooler the oil will pass through the automatic fine filter and indicating filter
or final filter to the distributing pipe of the engine. After coming to the distributing pipe
at the bottom of the oil sump the oil circuit will up through the hydraulic jacks going to the
main bearings of the engine, through the crank shaft and to the connecting rod
bearings. After the connecting rod bearings oil circuit continue to flow up through the
connecting rod going to the gudgeon pin bearings. And is led to the piston through a
bored passages in the gudgeon pin and the skirt through the special nozzles to the
cylinder liner forming an oil film between the piston and the cylinder liner surfaces.
From the cylinder liner oil gets back to the oil sump.
When starting up the engine make sure pre-lubrication pump is running. Check the
pressure if conform s to 4.0 bar and also other parameters standard. Start the engine and
wait until lube oil temperature reaches to 40°C for loading instruction of the engine.
68
The engine is cooled in two(2) systems namely the high temperature circuit (H.T.) and the
low temperature(L.T.) circuit. In the installation of piping system after the fabrication
activity the cleaning of inside pipe through acid picking is not a requirement. Before
connection to the engine make sure the whole system will be flushed with water.
Observed the pipe discharge line if the flow is already clean. The H.T. and L.T tanks
should be located above the engine height with the specific requirement of 0.7 ~1.5 bar
static pressure for H.T. and L.T. intake line below before H.T. and L.T. pumps. The

connection is different from the L.O. thermostatic valve, the intake is only one(1) port at A
and two(2) discharge ports at B and C. It is exactly opposite to L.O. line. This will be explain

The engine is cooled by close circuit fresh water system, divided into high temperature
circuit (HT) and the low temperature circuit (LT). Fresh water indicates treated soft water.
The HT-circuit cools the cylinders, cylinder heads, charge air and turbo chargers. From the
built in pump water flows under pressure to the distributing duct which is cast in the
engine block. From the distributing ducts, the water flows through the cooling water bores
in the cylinder liners and continues to cylinder heads. In the cylinder head water is force by
the intermediate deck to flow along the flame plate, around the valves to the exhaust valve
seats and up along the fuel injector sleeve. From the cylinder head assembly waters flows
out through a connection piece pipe to the collecting pipe. Parallel to the flow of water to
the cylinders, part of the water flows through the turbocharger. Both cooling water coming
out from the cylinder heads and turbo charger will goes to the air vent compartment. Part
of water coming in the air vent compartment flows to the HT expansion tank for venting
purposes, to avoid pressure build-up in the HT cooling system cause by expansion of water
due to heat absorption. And large fraction of this cooling water circulates to charge air
cooler then to system outside the engine for treatment. Discharge water from the engine
pass through the diverting type thermostatic valve. If the temperature of the cooling
water is low it will be diverted without temperature treatment to the cooler, thermostatic
valve port to the cooler is set to 80 ̊C. On the discharge side of the HT cooler the circuit
returns back to the built-in pump. And the fraction of water up through the expansion
tank is connected to the treatment circuit before the built-in pump. During start up of
engine wait until jacket water reaches to 70 °C, the engine can be loaded.
The low temperature circuit(LT) cools the charge air and the lube oil. Fresh water from the
79
built-in pump flows under pressure through the second stage of the charge air cooler then
to the outside circuit of the engine which is the lube oil cooler. It continues to the diverting
type thermostatic valve which by-pass if the cooling water temperature is low without
temperature treatment to the cooler. Discharge side of the LT cooler returns back to the
built-in pump. The same with the HT system, a fraction of the LT cooling water after the
charge air cooler will pass through a vent compartment and goes up to the LT expansion
Like any other treatment auxiliaries piping installation of air system should be clean
thoroughly which needs acid pickling process. Because this medium will get inside the
combustion chamber like fuel and lube oil engaged on mating parts that are moving.
The air compressor equipment and the compressor tank should be installed and aligned
first before piping installation. Take note, a non return check valve should be properly
inspected if functioning good. Air tank should have a relief valve as per PSME Code
Piping line is connected to the engine using flexible hose to isolate from vibration.

III.XX.VIII.II Operations Instructions;
The engine is started with compressed air having a maximum pressure of thirty(30) bars
and minimum pressure required is fifteen(15) bars. A pressure gauge mounted on the
instrument panel indicates the pressure before the main starting valve. The inlet air pipe
from the starting air tank is provided with a non-return valve and the blow off valve
installed before the main starting valve or right after the non-return valve. The main
starting valve and slow turning valve are operated pneumatically via solenoid control
valves and by pushing the start button on the local instrument panel or by activating
solenoids from remote control. The slow turning valve is automatically activated for
two(2) revolutions if engine has been stopped for more than thirty(30) minutes. In slow
turning air will go to the slow turning valve through the pressure control valve, a non-
return valve in the slow turning line prevents from leaking out during the main start.
The shut-off valve prevents air from leaking out during slow turning. When the main
starting valve opens the air can go partly through the flame arrestors to the starting valve
on the cylinder head. Part of the air goes through the starting air distributor to open the
starting valve s on the cylinder head. The starting air distributor controls the opening time
and sequence of the starting valves. Blocking valve on turning gear are precautions to
Raw water line is the external cooling water that cools the L.T. cooler and the H.T. cooler.
From the cooling tower basin cooled raw water flows to the strainer before it is pump to
The coolers. It passes through the L.T. cooler and then to the H.T. and going back to the
cooling tower distribution pipe wherein cooling process is occurred. Total heat absorb by
the raw water is equal to heat from L.T. and H.T. coming from the internal of the engine as

III.XXX Design, Installation and Operation of Waste Heat Recovery Boiler;
Waste heat recovery boiler is installed for the purpose of heating the bunker fuel and the
lubrication oil in the purification process. Looking through the steam heating system single
line diagram steam flows to the booster unit and in parallel connection to lubrication oil
purifier, HFO safety filter, HFO oil purifier, HFO buffer or service tank and settling tank.
As discussed above in fuel oil and lubrication oil system, heat treatment is necessary to
attain correct purification temperature and in the booster unit it conditions the required
viscosity of the fuel to the injection valve. After the heating element valves, strainer and
steam trap set up should be installed for maintenance and operation purposes as shown in
the diagram below. The same installation set up in the by pass line. Steam trap is used
to save steam and to make sure condensate should be taken out in the heat exchanger.
The presence of condensate in the steam line is dangerous, it will cause water hammer.
86
III.XXX.Ib Waste Heat Recovery Boiler Specific;
87
88
Computations of boiler heat energy in KW:
From steam tables; @ 8.0 bar saturated steam temperature is equal to 170.43 °C;
Since boiler design has no super heater tubes, assumed saturated steam.
therefore:
𝑄 = 1,117 KW
% = 1,117/13700
% = 8.1
The most important parameters to inspect before starting up the boiler are the water
drum level, by pass damper to be normally open to avoid abrupt heating of boiler tubes
and the main damper valve is normally closed. The same in the engine it should be
gradually heated until working temperature and working pressure are attained. Make sure
test cock is tested. Before loading all the heating element conduct condensate blowing
along steam line and blow down water drum to check for any sludge deposit. When
everything is normal finally adjust the main dumper to its operating position.

IV Comments and recommendations;
Our station energy used in Sulzer operation without waste heat recovery boiler, equates to
five(5) percent of the gross generated power. For the two(2) Warstsila engines running
with waste heat recovery boiler the station energy used is only three(3) percent of the
gross generation. For reference, two(2) 13.0 MW Wartsila engines operating at 12.0
hours per day. Total energy generated is equal to 312,000 KWh per day. Three(3) percent
of that is 9,360 KWh. Assuming no heat recovery boiler is applied. So, five (5) percent of
therefore:
