Content of weekly training
Summary: For our June month we had to do our daily tasks such as the inspection of our boiler the sampling of liquid and
solid samples also spot inspection of steam drum, cylinder crusher and converter boiler.
We had to review the Operating standards for replacement of the dust tank of the first dust hopper for the boiler
in the flash furnace (FF) process. We have to respect 3 steps before, during and after the replacement of the ash
hopper such as:
• If an operation involves manual work and forklift operation simultaneously, the worker shall keep in contact with
the forklift driver and evacuate in time in case of emergency
• During operation, the operator must wear protective goggles, protective gloves, protective masks as specified.
• After the dust tank is forked out of the first dust hopper, the operator must be at least 4m above the first dust
hopper to conduct command operations. We have to replace the dust tank every 7hours after fulling
We had learned how to change the converter boiler for maintenance and for this operation we have some steps
to respect such as:
• Confirm that the heat surface inlet and outlet valves, and the inlet bypass valve, are fully closed.
• Ensure that the cleaning of large debris in the converter is completed, and there are no remaining tools or other
debris inside the boiler. The heat surface is now ready for warming.
• Slightly open the inlet bypass valve (about 1/3 open).
• Slightly open the return water valve (just until you hear water flowing).
• Monitor the temperature at the heat surface temperature measurement point. When the temperature rises to
60°C, proceed as follows:
➢ Open the inlet bypass valve one circle every hour until it is fully open.
➢ Once the inlet bypass valve is fully open, open the returning water valve one circle every hour until the central
control room detects a circulation flow rate of 30 cubic meters per hour, then stop opening the valve.
➢ When the heat surface temperature reaches 180°C, fully open the return water valve to complete the warming
process.
we have learned how to start a circulating pump for any inspection.
We have to respect some steps such as
• Open the inlet pipe valve for feeding water n circulating pump
• Close the outlet pipe valve from the circulating pump (slight open 10%)
• Open the blowdown of the pump.
• Switch to stop and ensure that the bearing is in good condition.
• Switch on manual and close the blowdown.
• Ensure that power supply is connecting into cabinet box of the pump
• Press green button for starting the pump
We have found leak at the circulating pump that’s why we have a dynamic maintenance after some times.
 We had learned how do we determinate the leaks of pipe water inside of the boiler
If there is water pipe leakage inside of the boiler, we have noticed by:
• We gonna show the humidity in the dust samples
• We gonna have the wet dust in the scraper and this dust will be create impossibility scraper’s running
• It’ll be difficult to adjust the negative pressure
• We gonna have the low quantity of dust to ESP
• We gonna have the drip out inside the boiler
