Charge SCAPH after light up of boiler. To charge SCAPH first open bypass air
damper and reduce main air damper position up to 50% and then open
SCAPH steam line up to 20 to 30% initially.
After 30 min change the pair of oil guns for further 30 mins & open E-10.
After one hour take all LFO guns in service or when drum metal
temperature reached to nearby 1000C.
At light up, all drum vents, SH, RH vents should be in open condition as well
as SH drain at 17.5 meters.
When drum pressure rises up to 2-3 kg/cm2, close all vents. Total no. of
vents are 11 (4 SH, 4 RH, 2 DRUM, 1 ECO LEFT SIDE).
Open startup vents (S28, S29).
Now if temperature of flue gas before APH reaches about 120-1250C,
changeover of oil guns can be done, i.e. LSHS oil guns at CD elevation may
be taken in service.
When oil guns at CD elevation are stable, take out LFO guns at AB elevation
from out of service. After scavenging of guns at AB elevation is completed,
change selection of oil from LO to LSHS and take LSHS oil guns at AB
elevation.
When guns at AB elevation are stable, take oil guns at CD elevation out
from service.
After drum pressure reaches 8-10 kg/cm2, close SH drains (4 nos.) at 17.5 m
elevation.
After closing of all drains from site, drum pressure rises very fast so take
one BFP in service to maintain the drum level.
TURBINE SIDE:-
Turbine on baring gear speed.
Open drains connected to HP/LP flash tank & close drains connected to
atmosphere. i.e. open MS-105,106 ,109 and HRH-101,102,103,104.
Now for starting first CEP following steps should be followed:-
1. Hotwell level should be normal.
2. LPH vents should be opened.
3. Open CEP sealing valve coming from CST (situated at turbine floor and CST floor).

Before opening MS-1 & MS-2 v/v, ensure that drum level is on negative side
around (-80 mmwcl ).
Also before charging of LP & HP bypass, from site ensure opening of CRH
atmospheric drain and closing of BD isolating v/v. Also check that no trace
of water or vapor is issuing out from CRH atmospheric drain i.e.at zero
meters.
LP Bypass charging
1) Start second CEP (if not in service).
2) Raise LP bypass controller so that first LP water injection valves of both sides open.
3) Further raise LP bypass controller up to 35% so that LPBP valves are open and
hence LPBP are charged.
HP Bypass charging
1) Check boiler drum pressure around 35-40Kg/cm2 and main steam temperature
around 3000C.
2) Check HPBP temp. set point to be 2800C.
3) HPBP valves 1 and 2 and HPBP spray valves 1 & 2 should be in manual position.
4) Now lower HPBP pressure setpoint slightly less than running MS pressure. For
example if MS pressure is 37 kg/cm2 than put HPBP set point to be 35kg/cm2.
5) Charge HPBP one by one. For charging put HPBP 1 on auto mode so that it opens
gradually to lower MS pressure up to set point. As soon as HPBP 1 opens greater
than 2% (or when facia of HPBP 1 greater than 2% get reset) switch HPBP to
manual mode.
6) Also ensure that BD valve gets opened and spray valves BPE 1 comes to auto
mode.
7) Similarly charge HPBP 2 as above.
8) After charging of HPBP, raise set point of HPBP again to 165kg/cm2.

Criteria X3 or HP casing temp at 50% depth are 100-1200C ,turbine rolling may be
done to speed 450 rpm or 600 rpm for soaking & to reach temperature of HP
casing at 50% depth to 2000C.
At 2000C HP casing 50% depth temp. , we can roll the turbine to 3000 rpm and go
for synchronization.
Criteria X6 is for 3000 rpm and criteria X7 is for synchronization.
Before rolling turbine to 3000 rpm, we should take a mill in service for maintaining
MS pressure.

First check lubrication system i.e. start one LP, one HP, one B&S pump and
one reducer pump, after that start Grease pump. Grease sequence will be
reset.
Check minimum three oil guns are in service before taking mill on that
elevation (i.e. AB, CD or EF).
Maximum 4 oil guns or ON status of any one out of 4 guns that is not in
service can be done so that if any one oil gun trips (for any reason), boiler
will be safe and will not trip.
Now give the command to elevation “A” of Mill –AB.
First 60 sec purging of coal pipe after classifier would be done. Then after
steam inerting for 240 sec will be done at both classifier and hot air box
side (A and B).
First Seal air fan comes in service, than GG seal air fan comes & after that
classifier outlet gates will open (all four). Now after opening of seal air fan
discharge damper, open control damper 15%-20% to adequate the seal air
DP (80mmwcl -100 mmwcl). Mill main motor will be ON when Seal Air DP
will be adequate.
Now increase DP upto 200 mmwcl and put control valve in auto.
After opening of PA general inlet gate, increase hot air (20%- 30%) and
maintain bypass air flow (13 to 16) t/hr of respective elevation.
When classifier temp are adequate (450C-500C), give command to elevation
for taking RC Feeder in service. First feeder outlet gate will open then
feeder will come in service.
After taking feeder in service, open the PAD damper of respective side and
maintain hot air flow >36 t/hr, then afterwards give command to another
elevation.
1. Check that all lockout relays (8 nos. in Unit#5 and 6 nos. in Unit#6) are reset

and machine does not switches over to speed control mode again.
16. Switch off the synchronizer (marker-5) and permissive (marker-4).
Charge LPH1(open ext. 17, ext. 18), LPH2(open ext. 09), LPH3(open ext. 10)
from CRT, put DR-19,DR-22,DR-25,DR-28 on auto from panel and close MAL
54,MAL 55,EXT. 125,126,127,128 from CRT.
Also close MAL 11, 12,26,27,31,32,66,81. Close MAL 22 after HP casing 50%
depth temp. reaches around 3200C.
Raise load according to pressure keeping temperature margins in range
(should not be less than 300C), simultaneously by increasing firing rate in
Mill.
SH outlet temperatures should such be maintained that it is not above
4400C, or it should not be greater than 1500C in addition to the 50% HP
casing temperature (for eg. If HP casing temperature is 2500C than SH
outlet temperature must be around 2500C+1500C=4000C).
When around 125MW load is achieved, start preparation for charging HPH-5.
i) For this open site drain of deaerator drip of HPH-5 in addition to Ex-
104,106 and MAL-51. DR-16 should be in fully open condition.
ii) Give Ex-12 a small inching open command, so that extraction line is
warmed up. Wait for few time to see the temperature of deaerator drip
is increasing or not. DR-13 may be opened 8-10% for this purpose.
iii) When after some time by giving inching command to Ex-12,
temperature of deaerator drip starts increasing and becomes equal to

Also start procedure for charging deaerotor pegging through Ex-11 at low
MS pressure so that hammering is avoided.
i) Open drain of Ex-11 valve from site so that all condensate is issued out.
ii) After ensuring there is no condensate remained, Give Ex-11 valve a
small inching open command, wait for a few time and check if pressure
and temperature of deaerator is increasing.
iii) Slowly and steadily give open command to Ex-11 valve till it is fully
opened.
iv) After pegging is fully charged, close site drain of Ex-11 valve and turn on
the solenoids A4.1 and A4.2. Also close MAL-51 drain.

Boiler Side:-
Unit is running on 250MW or 200MW without oil support.
Gradually decrease the load by decreasing the firing in boiler through Mill
i.e. reduce fuel master and hot air and open cold air damper 100%.
If APRDS is not self charged than first charge it from parallel unit so that
after unit is boxed up PRDS pressure is maintained for turbine gland sealing
purpose.
If PRDS is already self charged than minimize the pressure control valve but
not close it completely and inform parallel unit to charge the PRDS so that
temperature doesn’t go down suddenly. Practice should be such that
temperature doesn’t go down beyond 1950C as gland sealing valve closed
forcibly at 1800C and it further causes problem in turbine barring gear
which can be seized.
Watch flame intensity at running elevations and then trip that Mill on
which intensity is in poor condition.
Continue reducing the load as according to MS Pressure.
Do not take any oil guns in service up to 30% boiler load as unit will not trip
on flame failure.
According to scheduling of load as per ABT decrease the load and trip
second mill so that boiler trips on loss of all fuel in the time slot when unit
has to be boxed up.
Now maintain the drum level and trip one BFP. After 15-20 min. when
boiler drum will be completely filled by second BFP, trip second BFP also.
Trip one set of ID/FD fan after unloading and maintain secondary air flow
near about 200t/hr by taking second FD fan on manual mode.
Reduce loading of second ID fan by reducing IGV up to 50% so that scoop
remains at 5-10% and it should be on auto mode for maintaining furnace
draft.
