3.0 PROPOSAL:
The objectives are achieved by carrying out the following

proposals.
3.1 The steam blowing is done in five stages. Viz Stage 1 Stage 2
(2a & 2b), Stage 3 (3a & 3b) stage 4a & 4b and Stage 5. The
Electrically Operated Temporary Valve (EOTV) is to be located in
the place as shown in the scheme. Loop pipes from ESV and IV
to turbine are to be taken care for cleanliness before erection and
not to be steam blown.
All critical pipe lines covered in stage 1, 2a, 3a & 3b will be steam
blown using EOTV. Only in Stage 1b, MS stop valve at boiler end
will be used.
3.2 Steam blowing is carried out by adopting puffing method for

stages 1, 2a, 2b, 3a & 3b in which, boiler pressure is raised to 50
KSC and released through a quick opening valve and steam
blowing done till the Drum pressure drops from 50 KSC to 25
KSC.
3.3 Steam blowing for stages 4a & 4b and 5 are carried out by
continous method. Steam blowing by continous method shall be
done at 40-50% of normal operating pressure of the respective
system for period of 20 to 30 minutes. Blowing repeated after a
time gap of 2 Hrs.
3.4 Both the above techniques give a thermal shock to the contours
being purged and results in loosening of the adhered scale which
is subsequently removed by expanding steam.

8.0 METHOD:
8.1 The boiler is to be started in a normal manner following start up

procedure.
8.2 First steam blow in stage 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, &3b should be given at a
lower pressure, say 25 kg/sq.cm. at Boiler drum and the pipe
lines including temporary piping are surveyed for proper
expansion and supports. Subsequent blows are given at higher
pressure as given in 8.3.
8.3 Raise the boiler pressure to 50 kg/sq.cm. Shut off firing and at the
same time open the steam blowing valves. (Temporary valve
EOTVs or MS-1, MS-2 as the case may be). The steam lines
which are being steam blown should be warmed up prior to
blowing. The opening of steam blowing valve allows steam to
escape to atmosphere at high velocity carrying with it loose and
dislodged debris. To prevent thermal stresses in the thick walled
shell like drum and headers the saturation temperature change in
drum is limited to 40 deg. C. maximum. Hence, for the purpose of
steam blowing of all critical piping, the steam blowing valve will
be opened at 50 kg/sq.cm. and closed at 25 kg/sq.cm. drum
pressure.
8.4 The water level in the drum swings beyond visible limits at the
start, during and the end of steam blowing. There are chances of
water droplets to carry over to the saturated steam pipes and low
temperature superheater. At the same time too low water level
will affect the C.C. pumps running. Hence optimum level is to be
maintained in the drum. It is preferable to keep just 1 port (50
mm) below the normal level at the time of starting the steam blow.

Sheet 18 of 25

SL.NO STATUS
8.5 At the end of steam blowing, water level in drum will be low and
hence make up the drum level by establishing suitable feed water
flow rate through feed pump.
8.6 All the steam lines are purged as per various stages and it is a
standard practice to limit number of blows per day to 8 with an
interval of 1-1 ½ hours for cooling in addition to overnight cooling.
8.7 The furnace exit gas temperature should be limited to 540 deg. C
to safeguard superheaters and reheaters.
8.8 Internal boiler water treatment to be carried out with liquid

ammonia and hydrazine hydrate only to maintain pH value of
10.0 in Boiler water and 5 to 25 ppm of N2H4 in feed water.
(Manual Dosing)
8.9 Hot tightening of flanges, studs/bolts is to be done wherever such

connections have been made.
8.10 During steam blowing. MS, CRH & HRH line drains are kept open
to atmosphere without any valve for achieving free and
uninterrupted flow.
8.11 Target Plates will be used for stages 1, 2a & 3a. Stainless Steel
target plates having mirror finish will be used in final stages. In
the preceding stages target plates of M.S will be used. During
steam blowing, pressure and temperature readings at selected
locations will be noted down for the purpose of determining
disturbance factor (Refer Section 10.0 for scheme and method of
calculation).
8.12 Completion criteria for all the stages of steam blowing is given in
Section 9.0.

these temporary lines for installation of dummies. Drains of
suitable size to be provided at the upstream of flange locations

8.14 Following steps are followed for steam blowing stage 4a and 4b.
8.15 After completing the stage 3b blowing, dummy to be provided at

the LPBP outlet temporary piping and at the IV outlet temporary

8.17 Temporary steam valve or Dummy provided in the Temporary

exhaust line connected to permanent steam line to BFP Turbine

8.18 Steam inlet valves CRH – 1 CRH - 3 are gradually opened and
steam blowing carried out for 20-30 minutes at about 40-50% of
system operating pressure.
8.19 This blowing is continued with a gap of 2 Hrs between the blows.
8.20 After few blows, Target Plates are put and further blowing
continued. Termination of stage 4a and 4b are as per Target plate

9.0 COMPLETION CRITERIA:
Indications for the result of each blowing is the number of pittings

found on the target plate mounted in the temporary exhaust pipes
nearer to the permanent line. The highest velocity of steam is in
the center of the pipe. Hence, judgement should be made for the
end point of steam blowing in this area. The area for the above is
3/4the the discharge pipe diameter at the center. It is
recommended to install the target plate after completing few
blows in each stage.
For evaluating the cleanliness and termination point of the steam

blowing, target plate of stainless steel of mirror finish are to be
used.
9.1 For stages 1, 2a, 3a, 4a & 4b the result of the blowing operations
can be judged by the absolute number of pittings on the target
plate in the central zone. The piping is considered clean if there
are not more than 5 (five) pittings and shall not have any
deformed edges. Besides, there shall be no pitting in the rim
zone, ie, area other than central zone. This should be achieved in
three consecutive forget plates. At least, one over night cooling is
to be ensured for steam blowing of pipe lines leading to Turbine.
9.2 In addition to this, for stages 1, 2a, & 3a Disturbance factor value
at selected locations should be 1.4 and above.
9.3 For all Sub-stages in Stage 5, the blowing is completed based

visual observation. The steam blown should be clean and
normally, this is achieved in 2 blows.
