REPORT ON 135 TPH CFBC BOILER START UP STEAM GENERATION PROBLEM
By Venus Energy Audit System
The visit was made to diagnose the problem of boiler steam generation in the newly commissioned
135 TPH Chinese make CFBC boiler.
The visit was made on night of 20th March 2014. The boiler was shut on the previous day for
attending a tube failure in pressure parts. Hence at the early hours of 21st March 2014, the furnace
and loop seal were inspected. Discussions were held with the operating team on the modifications
required at the loop seal. The modifications were finalised the next day morning. Accordingly the
loop seal air nozzles were modified. The boiler was fired in the evening hours. At around 12.30
midnight the boiler operation was stabilised for 12 MW power generation. On 22nd March 2014
morning, the boiler generation was taken to 24 MW. Then the limitation of ID fan was encountered.
The boiler II pass oxygen profile revealed that there is considerable air ingress. This prevented the
further load rise. The boiler was stopped at around 1.00 PM following a grid change work in the
existing plant. It was informed that the boiler would be cooled & the sealing work would be
completed first so that plant could be run at full load at the next light up. The detailed report is as
under.
PART I - MODIFICATIONS and STUDY CARRIED OUT BEFORE LIGHT UP- See
annexure 1
The following are the modifications carried out in the boiler before this light up.
Loop seal air nozzle modification
Two number loop seals are provided at this unit. The loop seal is to be provided with two types of air
buttons as per OEM drawing. All air buttons were found to be identical. The buttons at down leg are
generally with less number of holes or less hole diameter. The holes diameters were found to be
varying from 2.5 to 3.5 in the spare nozzle. The number of holes in the nozzles was 12 in all air
nozzles. Down legs needed only 3 numbers of holes are per calculations for nozzle drop of 250
mmWC. 34 nozzles in downleg area were altered. The holes were plugged. The remaining 40
nozzles were left as it is. See photo 1 to 4. The DP drop calculation is attached for the loop seal
nozzle DP. This corresponds to MCR capacity of loop seal. The capacity of transfer can be adjusted
with loop seal blower rpm / by dumping part of the air to PA duct.
No partition / no valve / no flowmeter for loop seal windbox
Following are the lacuna in the design of the loop seal system.
There is no partition plate provided between the down leg and return leg of the loop seal.
Page 2
The air line sizes for the loop seal wind box are of same size.
There is no valve for differentiating the air flow between the downleg and riser leg. This type of
design is seen in some units. Since the fuel is of high ash coal, this may be OK.
There is no flowmeter individually for each loop seal. However there is a common flowmeter for
the total flow to loop seal.
Arrangement to dump to PA duct
The air requirement for loop seal is 1428 m3/h. The loop seal blower is selected for 2340 m3/h. 50%
margin has been considered in the selection. It may be required to dump the extra air during start up /
during regular operation to reduce the loop seal transfer capacity. Since the pressure drop is very less
at the loop seal, even PA air may be sufficient unless & until the ash percentage goes up.
Venturi meter calibration range
The venturi meter calibration range was found to be 1048 m3/h. This is wrong. Since the blower
capacity is 2340 m3/h the range has to be this value. The meter DP was seen to be 100 mmWC for
1048 m3/h. The transmitter was recalibrated for a higher range of 600 mmWC which would
correspond to 2567 m3/h, with same K value. Later this was found to be very much helpful during
operation.
Fuel spreader air / feeder seal air / chute pushing air
Cold PA is taken and given for sealing the feeder, for fuel spreading and for pushing air along the
chute. The feeder sealing air line was 200 nb. At the feeder inlet end, this is 100 nb. This is too big
for sealing purpose. A 50 mm orifice plate was introduced in the flange at the feeder inlet. The chute
pushing air is an 80 nb line. The fuel spreader is a 100 nb. The fuel spreader valve is already
converted to manually operated type.
Air density for SA & PA
The molecular weight of air at mean sea level is 28.5 with 60% relative humidity. The density is thus
1.278 kg/Nm3. At 45 deg C and with elevation correction factor this is 1.065 kg/m3. The air density
at 165 deg C is 0.7735 kg/m3. The density used for flowmeter calculations is seen to be wrong. No
change was done on this. However the conversion from m3/h to kg/h was changed as per the density
calculated and provided by undersigned. SA & PA thus show lesser TPH now.
Bed material feeding arrangement
Bed material feeding system was not considered in this project. During start up, the bed is started
with a height of 400 mm. Once the bed is heated up and coal feeding is commenced, the bed height
has to be gradually increased to 800 mmWC for load carrying purpose. It was decided to manually
charge the makeup material through the fuel feeder. A small feed hopper with a gate was
immediately arranged.
Page 3
Start up bed material required is like an AFBC boiler which size range from 0.85 to 2.35 mm.
However the makeup material that is required for CFBC is 100% less than 600 microns. Since the
bed material available was only AFBC material, the same material was used in the start up.
It is advised to procure a long rotary screen with two sections of different mesh openings. The first
section has to be of 0.85 mm opening. This will be makeup material for CFBC. The second section
should have 3 mm opening. The material passing this screen will be the start-up material. The rejects
will not be useful to the boiler.
Cold fluidisation
The bed was prepared with 350 mm bed height. The cold fluidisation was checked at different air PA
flow. The onset of fluidisation was like two flowers, such in the line of PA duct inlets to windbox.
As the flow was increased the fluidisation was found to be good. The coal spreader damper was set
full open to check if it was affecting the fluidisation or not. There was no problem seen. The cold
fluidisation was found to be good at total PA flow of 80000 m3/h.
Fluidisation at loop seal
The loop seal fluidisation should be checked with minus 600 micron particles. Since the material was
not available, only minus 3 mm particles were used. The loop seal blower was switched on and
checked. The relative air jet was felt at the nozzles. The downleg air nozzles just aerated the material.
The return leg air nozzles could transfer some material. It was advised to empty the material to the
furnace. This did not happen due to 650 mm high wall on the return leg side.
PART II LIGHT UP & LOAD CARRYING- See annexure 2
Start up
After the light up and heating of the boiler metal, refractory and water, the steam pressure came up
to 10 to 15 kg/cm2. The hot air generator could generate gas at 450 deg C with about 60000 m3/h PA
flow. When some of the thermocouples started reading 350 deg C, coal sprinkling was done. The bed
temperatures could stabilise at 850 900 deg C with left out bed height of 350 mmWC. The bed
material feeding was commenced. The PA flow was maintained at 58000 m3/h and SA flow was
maintained at 13750 m3/h. The airbox pressure was increased up to 557 mmWC by addition of bed
material through the coal feeder. SA was initiated only at the bottom level & in order to bring stack
CO under visible range. The oxygen was maintained at 16% during oil firing. It gradually came
down to 4-6% by raising the coal feeding. PA flow was never reduced below 55000 m3/h.
The bed temperatures stabilised with 850-870 deg C. The loop seal blower had to be kept running to
ensure the transfer of material takes place. As the loop seal air flow of 2500 m3/ h was found to
maintain a return loop temperature of 750 deg C, it was left such. The flow was not reduced.
The steam temperature could be achieved to 500 deg C after raising SA and after raising the firing
Page 4
rate. With this start up generation was 12 MW. The screen shot just prior to rolling is attached in
annexure 2. Screen shots for 13 MW & 17.7 MW are attached in annexure 2.
Air flow guidelines
The air flow requirement was calculated for the design coal of 2050 kcal/kg and a standard D grade
coal of 3800 Kcal/kg. The PA / SA split was considered as 60:40 since this coal is high ash coal. The
PA flow meters are located in hot air duct. The SA flowmeters are located at the cold air ducts. The
air flow figures were given for full load. For part load, the air flow can be taken as proportional.
However minor variations are expected due to low fluidisation velocities at part load & the particle
size distribution of coal.
Load raising
On 22nd morning, the load was increased from 13 MW to 24 MW gradually in one hour. The bed
material inventory inside the furnace was fairly OK in the previous 6 hours of operation. This
seemed possible because of the dosing of material.
All SA dampers at furnace end were 100% open. Both SA fans were running. The SA flow was
raised to 60000 m3/h. SA header pressures were at 485 mmWC. The PA was increased to 100000
m3/h. The O2 was showing 5.38% and Stack CO was showing 33.6 ppm. There had been swings of
CO to 500 ppm which is full range of CO sensor.
Page 5
The upper furnace inventory was up to 70 mmWC. All the temperatures across the furnace, loop seal
and cyclone inlet was at 850 875 deg C. The screen shots can be seen in annexure 2.
The furnace pressure was going positive since the ID fan dampers were at 100% open condition. The
ID fan A discharge damper was partly closed condition. See photo 1. This was manually opened. It
gave some relief on the load rising. The ID fan 2 suction damper is not full open. See photo 2. This is
due to lever arm being not set at 45 deg to horizontal in closed / open condition. This needs to be
corrected.
Twice during the load raising, one of SA fans got tripped. It did not affect the furnace temperatures
since the bed inventory was reasonable. The operators felt the difference between this load raising
and the previous load raisings.
The wind box pressure was at 812 mmWC. The boiler operation was stable. The bed temperatures
were in the range of 870 -900 deg C.
Cross checking the oxygen and CO levels in the II pass
The oxygen and CO levels were checked by Kane plus portable flue gas analyser, UK. The O2 levels
and CO levels indicate alarming levels of air ingress. The table below shows the various readings
taken when the load was at 24 MW. See the readings in photos 3- 9.
Looking at the leakage levels and the limitation by ID fans it seemed worth rectifying the air ingress
defects first. Otherwise the load test of the boiler would become pending.
The boiler had to be slumped after 3 hours of operation due to grid change work in the adjacent
power plant. As the boiler was to be shut for attending the air ingress, the boiler was cooled.
PART III WHAT WENT WRONG IN ALL PREVIOUS START UPS & LOAD RAISING?
see annexure 3
1. The start up procedure was OK. The start up this time went smooth. The engineers seemed to
Page 6
have got experienced in light up and control of the fans, though the ID fan power cylinder was
slightly sluggish.
2. The point missed by the engineer was the inadequate bed material support required for load
carrying. The entire furnace height is the combustor. The bed material is required for load
raising. Simply raising the primary air left practically less material inside the furnace. For 15-17
MW itself, the PA required for 90% load was given. See the screen shot in annexure 3 taken
earlier. The bed was being cooled by the PA. Since the coal started burning in suspension without
the supporting igniting bed material, the flue gas was practically igniting the incoming coal. Thus
the boiler was working more like a burner. Hence small reduction of coal feed itself started
putting off the fire. The oxygen indicated in this screen shot can be due to coal feed reduction at
this point.
3. CFBC needs two types of bed material. Start up bed material is similar to AFBC requirement.
For load carrying the finer dust minus 600 micron particles are required. There should be a
bunker with this size material so that the load carrying can be taken faster. The upper furnace
inventory should be 75-80 mmWC. Lower bed inventory will lead to poor combustion as well.
There are some additional requirements for CFBC bed ash chemistry. See the recommendations
in photo 13.
4. The air buttons at loop seal were of same type. This would prevent the seal formation. This
should have delayed / prevented the dust retention in the furnace. Hence load raising was being
delayed.
CONCLUSION
The start up was smooth. Engineers who were present in start up and load raising, had understood
what was wrong in all the previous attempts. The loop seal defect could not have been resolved by
them.
PART IV -LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS- See annexure 4
As it was planned to have a shut and attend to the leakages, this list of recommendations is put forth
for consideration of plant head.
1. The inspection door frame and door plate thickness shall be increased to 12 mm in all inspection
doors in the lower & upper furnace and at cyclone inlets. Additional number of fasteners shall be
added. See photo 1 & 2 showing leakages from inspection doors. Loss of fines from furnace
doors delay the rated steam generation during start up.
2. Every time when the inspection doors are sealed, insulating castable or ceramic wool / mineral
wool shall be filled between the cast blocks and the door plates. Plastering by POP is preferred
before the door flange is sealed.
3. A rotary screen shall be procured for making the start up bed material and start up bed material.
See photo 3 with screen specification. Such screens are dealt by construction material dealers or
by agro machinery traders.
4. The bed material filling arrangement at feeder shall be through a rotary air lock feeder. Bunker
Page 7
may not be necessary as the addition of makeup material is required only for start up.
5. The waterwall top header area shall be sealed well. There should have been castable filling
between the front and rear headers. See photo 4 showing the location. See photo 4 & 5 showing
the location and the ash leakage. SS wire mesh shall be laid over the headers to support the
further insulation and plastering. 25 mm thick ceramic blanket shall be laid over the wire mesh.
A layer of 125 m thick mineral shall be laid. Chicken wire mesh of two layers is advised for the
support of plaster of paris (POP). The POP shall be applied for a thickness of 15 mm. Two layers
of hessian clothe shall be wrapped and finished with two coats of black bitumen paint (shalikote
paint). See photo 6 giving the details. Photo 7 shows the POP finish typically carried out at
another plant.
6. The headers in the second pass are now seen to allow air ingress. See photo 8 & 9. Photo 10
shows the arrangement suggested by the OEM. This is not foolproof. The headers shall be
provided with seal box. Before welding the seal box to the structural frame, mineral wool
application shall be complete as per the service temperatures. The headers to be covered include
the HT superheater headers, LT superheater headers, Economiser headers. The stub openings,
header end cap openings shall be covered as per the illustration in photo 11. Photo 12 shows the
seal box arrangement in another Chinese boiler.
7. The ESP inlet gas sampling point shall be kept at an accessible location. This will be required to
check that the sealing is completed. There should be very minimum oxygen rise across the APH.
In case it increases, we can conclude that the APH tubes have given way.
8. The ID fan 2 damper operating lever shall be corrected for 100% open and close position. See
photo 13.
9. The cast iron door frames in 2nd pass shall be seal welded to casing to avoid air ingress. See
photo 14 & 15.
10. Buckstay corner links are not erected as per OEM drawings. This can result in straining the
boiler. See photo 16 to 18. Photo 19 shows the OEM drawing in which the corner link is set at 90
deg to buckstay beam. Photo 20 shows the corner link plate arrangement by BHEL. The
arrangement is for cold beams.
11. APH casing shall be made leak proof. It is to be sealed with structure with expansion joint at one
end and without expansion joint at another end. This shall be ensured. Flame test shall be carried
out.
12. The kick off zone refractory design at this plant is seen to be wrong. Photo 21 shows the
arrangement. The excess refractory beyond the fin line is not to be there. It shall be corrected to
avoid erosion failure. See photo 22 showing the polishing of the waterwall. Photo 23 shows the
details of drawing at kick off zone by three different boiler makers. See photo 24 showing the
refractory tipping to be done in annexure 3.
13. The fin weld beads and tube butt weld beads in the waterwall panels shall be removed by
grinding. This is to avoid erosion failures. See photo 25 to 27 showing the erosion experienced at
another plant due to improper finishing of tube & fin butt welds. The waterwall panel at this plant
seems to be at 5 m above the refractory. The welds are not proper. They can cause erosion. See
photo 28 showing the reasoning for localised erosion failures. The failures are always close to
tube & fin joint only. See the photos 29 to 33 showing the erection notes by various boiler
makers. The boiler maker here did not stress on this point in the construction drawings.
Page 8
14. II pass insulation shall be removed. See photo 34 showing the plain casing at another plant.
Insulation at this plant was done due to inadequate steam temperature during commissioning. The
problem is now resolved by proper operation parameters. Air ingress removal will resolve this
further. Paint the casing with heat resistant aluminium paint to reduce the heat loss. The low
emissivity of aluminium paint will help in reducing the heat losses. The emissivity of aluminium
is 0.13 and steel is 0.9.

Photo 1 & 2 : The above is the nozzle arrangements at loop seal. In down leg area the air nozzles (
34 nos) should have been with less number of holes. In the return leg side the no of holes should be
more as the tranfer of the material from loop seal is done here. Since there is no separate air line
valves, the nozzle holes are to be selected with proper calculation.
Page 11
Photo 3 : The photo shows the loop seal air nozzle inside the bed. The hole diameter is seen to be
around 3 mm. The drilling is not good. Higher diameter hole leads to more seepage. The number of
holes are 12 in all air nozzles. It was advised to have only 3 number holes in the nozzles in the down
leg area. This is required as otherwise the loop seal will not be developed.
Photo 4 : The above photo shows that there is no partition or valves or flowmeter in the loop seal
compartments. This would work since the coal ash is high in this boiler.
Page 12
Photo 5 : The Seal air duct sizing to feeder is seen to be high. The valve is open / close. Hence it
would develop more flow. Since the pushing air in the chute is of 80 nb size, the flow can be reduced
here. It is advised to provide a 50 mm orifice plate in all feeder pressurising lines.
Photo 6 : The cold fluidisation was checked at main furnace. The fluidisation started as two flowers
at the centre. A flow of 40000 m3/h in each PA line could achieve the vigorous & uniform
fluidisaiton. With burner on the air temperature would rise to 450 deg C. A flow of 35000 m3/h in
each PA line is more than sufficient for coal initiation. The seal air/ push air / spreader air were kept
open. Spreader air was kept at 50% open position.
Page 13
Photo 7 : The above is the design check made for the revised nozzle configuration. The DP in both
nozzle A & B would be more or less same. The jet velocity of 45 m/s is OK. Higher velocity helps
to prevent agglomerations. Since the ash may have high AFT, there should not be any problem with
this nozzle.

ANNEXURE 2 AFTER LIGHT UP
Page 15
Photo 1 : The over travel of damper flaps was seen in ID fan 1. The damper was taken on manual
mode and the lever angle was corrected to 45 deg. This had helped a little to improve the load.
Photo 2 : The ID fan 2 suction damper had not opened to 100%. The link plates are not at 45 deg.
The linkage and the main lever need to be corrected.

Photo 6 & 7 : The above are the portable gas anlasyer readings at the same load as above. The
location is below the economiser on the right side of the boiler. The actual field O2 reading was at
5% at this time.
Page 17
Photo 8 & 9 : The above are the Kane portable gas analyser readings taken on 22 March at a load of
23-24 MW. The location is below the economiser on the left side of the boiler.

Photo 10 : The above are the Kane portable gas analyser readings taken on 22 March at a load of 23
MW. The location is in the APH to ESP gas outlet duct.
Photo 11 : The regular sieve analysis of +90 microns and +75 microns would help to know if there
is any problem with loop seal.
Page 18
Photo 12: The above are the details by Thermax. The bulk density of bed material is also important.
All the make up material should be less than 500 microns.
Photo 13: The above are the guidelines for maintaining the bed ash chemical and physical
properties.

also very poor. It is advised to carry out proper insulation and finish with 100% sealing arrangement
with a sealbox.
Photo 10: The above are the details around the header. It has already been suggested by boiler maker
to provide asbestos cement. Exterior was to be covered with GI wire meash and to be coated with
seal coating. The sealing was not done as per the notes here.

waterwall will have distortions.

Photo 21 & 22: Photo at left shows the OEM drawing. This is wrong. There should not be any
refractory outside the red lines. Photo at right shows the erosion of excess refractory constructed at
kick off zone. As the projecting refractory acts a brake for falling material, the tubes above get
polished / eroded.
Photo 23: The above are the details of other boiler makers from India and china. If there is excess
refractory the waterwall at kick off zone erodes faster. The accuracy of construction is very
important. These manufacturers must have had a direct experince of erosion or the details must have
been part of technology transferred from their collaborators.

finishing of fin to fin joint, tube to tube butt joints.

Photo 28: The above sketches show the erosion patterns / mechanisms in the tube failures at field
butt-weld / shop butt weld.
Page 36
Photo 29: The erection note says that the furnace side welds between panels are to be flush ground
smooth. This is because any projection leads to drifting of the bed material towards the fin base
causing thinning down of tube. Both the notes are from the OEM drawing.
Photo 30: These drawings are taken from the pressure part drawings of a different boiler supplier.
We can see that the fin joints can have a negative offset of 1.6 mm at the maximum. Positive offset is
not allowed. Similarly tubes to tube joint can be with 1 mm offset. The bottom tube can go inside but
not outside. The fin to fin joint is to be made from combustor side.
Photo 31: The erection note says that the inside welds between panels are to be flush ground smooth.
This note is from a different boiler maker.
Page 37
Photo 32: The photo shows the slits made at factory for the purpose of tube matching at field joint.
The weld has to be full penetration weld. The second side is also to be seal welded. It may be
necessary to remove the insulation and seal from second side as well.
Photo 33: The erection note no 5 says that the inside welds between panels are to be flush ground
smooth. Any projection leads to drifting of the bed material towards the fin base causing thinning
down of tube.
Page 38
Photo 34: The photo shows the II pass casing design generally done by Chinese. There has to be no
insulation.
Photo 35: It is seen that the II pass is being insulated due to the complaint that the steam temperature
was not coming up for turbine rolling. This was not a problem when the TG was rolled this time. Air
ingress and low combustion temperature has created this problem. Insulation shall be removed.
