REPORT ON TROUBLESHOOTING BOILER COMMISSIONING PROBLEM
By Venus energy audit system
The visit was made to study the operational problems experienced in the newly commissioned 72
TPH AFBC boiler. The boiler was under shut down at the time of visit for ID fan capacity check and
for breaking part of the waterwall refractory lining above the SSH. The boiler was later started and
operated with 1st & 2nd compartments and with 2nd & 3rd compartments with stable bed conditions.
About the boiler
The boiler main steam parameters are 72 TPH, 86 kg/cm2g, 520 deg C with a feed water temperature
of 201 deg C at economiser inlet. The boiler is designed for Indian coal of 2353 kcal/kg GCV. The
design coal will have 12% moisture and 49.7% ash. The boiler is a single drum boiler, without bed
SH. The SSH is a radiant cum convection SH. The primary SH is in two parts and is designed as
convection SH. All the SH assemblies are non drainable. APH is sized for 195 deg C air temperature.
The boiler is with 3 compartments. First compartment is sized less and is provided with one drag
chain feeder. The 2nd and 3rd compartments are twice the size of 1st compartment and are provided
with two feeders each.
The waterwall surfaces between the SSH and the bed coils are covered with refractory in order to
increase the inlet gas temperature to SSH. Also the waterwall surfaces between the SSH and the
PSH are covered with refractory in order to increase the heat pick up by the PSH.
The start up compartment is only half of the 2nd / 3 rd compartment area. The start up compartment is
located below the nose panel. The start up burners are mounted on the rear waterwall (below the nose
panel.
The FD fan and ID fan are provided with VFD. BFP is provided with VFD.
The problems reported
The following problems were reported based on the commissioning experience in the last one month.
1. Main steam temperature could not be controlled when the 3 rd compartment is activated. The
turbine had tripped at times on high steam temperature.

DIAGNOSIS
th th
Review of the log sheets dated 25 and 26 January 2014
The log sheets generated by DCS on 25th and 26th January 2014 were reviewed. The following are
the observations.
 The bed temperatures of 1st and 2nd compartments were erratic. See photo 1 in annexure 1.1.
This meant that the steam generation was less at bed coil. Since the remaining part of the
evaporative surface was also covered with refractory, poor bed condition will result in high
SH temperatures. At the time of visit the boiler was in shut condition. The refractory height
above the SSH was being reduced by 2 m, which was decided by OEM. The bed was seen
with clinkers. This further reduced the bed steam generation capacity and increases the
superheating capacity of the boiler.
 The Oxygen levels were too high. Under this condition, the flue gas produced will be more
and thus convection SH heat pick up will be high, resulting in high steam temperature. It is
 seen

temperature is 421
deg C at PSH outlet.
 The main steam pressure had been around 80 kg/cm2, during the activation of the 3rd
compartment.
 The ID fan draft had been at 150 mmWC during this time. The ID fan is selected for 195
mmWC with a discharge side pressure of 27 mmWC. The Oxygen level was at 12.7% as
informed by the plant engineers. This O2 level corresponds to 200% EA. The flue gas
quantity is about 51.28 m3/s. This matches with the operating point at the fan performance
curve.
Boiler configuration & Superheater steam temperature

The boiler is complete convection superheater. The start up compartment and 2nd compartment are
below the nose panel. The flue gas thus will travel towards PSH without filling the cavity above the
SSH. Even otherwise the waterwall heat transfer area is covered with refractory. This boiler by
configuration will have high SH temperature at the time of compartment transfer. Even before
completely activating the 3rd compartment, the flue gas generated from overbed particle combustion
will shoot up the PSH outlet temperature and SSH outlet temperature. This is similar to case in a
Thermax boiler wherein the start up burner was placed below the nose panel. It resulted in

compartment, during which the activation of 3 rd compartment was attempted. In addition the bed
temperatures were not uniform indicating the 2 nd compartment was not stabilised.
It is required to have a minimum bed height of 400 mm in 1 st and 2nd compartment before attempting
to activate the 3rd compartment. This will help in achieving easy activation of the bed.
The border between the 2nd compartment and 3rd compartment shall be 600 mm tall from nozzle. The
3rd compartment material height shall be 300 mm only and not more.
The bed temperatures in 1st and 2nd compartments should be 850 – 900 deg C before attempting
transfer.
The higher bed size had given more trouble in compartment transfer. Has the boiler been provided
with 5 compartments, there would have been fewer problems with respect to steam temperature? The
transfer would have been very comfortable.
Erratic bed temperature and improper fluidisation
The boiler is designed for overbed and underbed feeding arrangements. Thus the SA is sized for
supplying 10-15% overfire air. Such as normally 10% air may be admitted to achieve good particle
combustion / less LOI. This boiler is designed with high pressure drop DP nozzles. With 10%
overfire air, the DP drop is expected to be 290 mmWC. When the MCR DP drop is 290 mmWC, the
DP drop in minimum fluidisation condition (MFC) will be 494 mmWC (35 deg C air temperature)
for the 2353 GCV coal. The design closely follows the overbed design given to ITC Bhadrachalam.
In order to mix the bed of say 300 mm bed height (above the air nozzle), the DP drop will be as
below:
Air temperature 35 deg C 100 deg C 125 deg C 150 deg C 175 deg C 195 deg C
to DP
DP drop for 494 408 382 359 340 325
MFC mmWC mmWC mmWC mmWC mmWC mmWC
At cold condition, the DP drop will be 494 mmWC for minimum fluidisation velocity of 0.8 m/s. It
means the particle size for start up should be below 2 mm and above 0.5 mm. If bed ash is used as
bed material there will be fluidisation problem. The bed will not activate at all. If the air temperature

st nd
Once the bed is at rated bed temperature, say 900 deg C, the generation is derated to 65% in a bed.
This will correspond to a DP drop of 127 mmWC and a fluidisation velocity of 1.8 m/s. It is like the
entire bed can be used for steam generation of 46 TPH. The SA needs to be closed for this condition
so that all the air is admitted at air nozzles.
But to achieve the 900 deg C, the bed height has to be reduced and / or bed coil heating surface has
to be reduced. This will be known once all the compartments are to be put in to operation.
The PA flow (with a design velocity of 14 m/s), will be 14.5 TPH for all compartment operation,
when the air temperature is 125 deg C. We can say per feeder around 3 TPH air should be OK.
However PA flow should be optimised for a minimum suction at mixing nozzle.
During 1st compartment / 2nd compartment operation, the DP drop should be 150 – 200 mmWC.
Excess to this will lead to high spillage to the next compartment.
ID fan sizing
During the operation on 25th and 26th Jan 2014, the ID fan draft had been maximum -150 mmWC.
The Oxygen was reported to be 11.5 % at APH outlet. The feedwater temperature was initially at
room temperature. Later it was raised to 120 deg C. When the feed water temperature is too low, the
bed evaporators have to do the job of sensible heat as well as latent heat. Thus the steam generation
rate at bed coil is less. The heat duty of the boiler increases at lower feed water temperature. It is
seen by calculations that the gas flow would be around 50 m3/s at ID inlet. There is no shortage of
fan capacity. In case there was a high draft loss anywhere in the flue gas circuit, then we can say the
ID fan does not have capacity. As such the draft at ESP outlet was less as compared to design head
of 195 mmWC. This is the draft generated at the ID fan suction with a discharge pressure of 26
mmWC. The fan sizing calculations were done and it was found that the fan sizing is OK. The
calculation sheet is attached in annexure 1.3.
Chimney sizing
The gas velocity inside chimney at 20% EA for 2353 GCV coal with 82% efficiency and at 135 deg
C, will be 19.4 m/s. The draft at the base of the chimney will be 1.8 mmWC. See calculation attached
in annexure 1.4. This is without considering the entry loss, exit loss and transition losses at every
transition inside the chimney. It is likely to be around 15 mmWC. Already 26 mmWC back pressure
is considered in ID fan selection. There is always high turbulence in RCC chimney because it is
made cylindrical from bottom to top unlike steel chimney where the base dia is quite large. Localised

The superheater surfacing is seen to be OK. The heat transfer areas of SSH, PSH B and PSH A are
found to be in order. The spray water temperature is assumed to be 204 deg C by us. In annexure 1.5,
the predicted performance of SH (for the design coal – 2353 kcal/kg) is given. It is seen the spray
water temperature will be 140 deg C as per the scheme here.
The spray water flow required with 204 deg C water will be 2530 kg/h. The control valve is sized for
4.48 TPH at 88% valve opening. The spray water line size is 33.4 x 4 mm. The line velocity at 4.48
TPH will be 2.46 m/s. The line velocity can be up to 3 m/s. There is no under-sizing of the valve.
The refractory removal done in the waterwall after the SSH will lower the steam temperature at a
load of 72 TPH. Since the plant load is expected to be around 50 TPH, the refractory removal will
not affect the steam temperature.
It is seen that the PSH B outlet piping is selected to be P11 material. The PSH B coil material is T11
material at the hot end. The coil and piping can withstand a service temperature of 485 deg C as per
code formulae. Code has its safety margin. See the calculation attached in annexure 1.6.
High Oxygen level in flue gas during the commissioning trials

The high oxygen level can be due to passing of air in the non-operating compartment. The wind box
pressure data was not available for the 3rd compartment in 25th / 26th January logsheet. In a non-
operating compartment there can be leakages due to damper problem.
The DP drop in the 1st and 2nd compartment had been as high as 300 mmWC. This is just about the
full load DP drop. If the coal was fed more the steam generation would have simply touched 72 TPH.
All the compartment dampers were checked. In the 3 rd compartment, in the upper left corner (as
viewed from windbox side), there is a metal to metal contact instead of seal to metal contact.
Otherwise the construction of the damper is quite good and well thought of. It is advised to operate
the PA flow as optimum as possible. The PA flow in idle compartment can be substantial. It is
advised to keep it closed till the 3 rd compartment is activated. It is advisable to keep the PA header
pressure as minimum as possible.
Burner air flow should be reduced to a minimum. It may be necessary to have air register pressure of
say 25 mmWC only.
The SA flow and spreader air flow should be in fully closed condition till the combustor operation is
stabilised. SA is required based on CO and LOI levels only. It can be used only for full load

operators so that they operate based on allowable minimum and maximum DP drop for
operation. Similarly MFC DP drop should be known to them to enable proper mixing while
starting a cold bed.
 Boiler configuration calls for additional care in operation. The operational tips are covered in the
discussions above.
 The boiler should be started with fresh bed material or sieved bed material to size range of 0.5 to
2 mm size shall be used. If used material is tried the fluidisation will be problem during start up.
It is advised to procure a rotary screen for regular screening of bed ash and for keeping a stock
for two start ups. See the photo 6 in annexure 1.2.
 The combustion calculations are made for the performance coal and are presented in annexure
1.7. It is seen that the bed coil heat transfer area is on the higher side. In order to operate at rated
bed height of 900 mm and at 925 deg C, part of the coils are to be covered with refractory so that
the heat pick up by bed coil will be reduced. Each outer coil will have to be covered to length of
1.18 m. As the coal grade is increased, the operating bed height will increase as the heat taken
out by the ash and moisture would come down.
DERATING THE BOILER FOR PRESENT LOAD CONDITIONS IN THE PLANT
It was learnt that the boiler was purchased for a higher capacity considering the future requirement.
The present load would be in the range of 36 TPH to 50 TPH only. This calls for certain changes in
the combustor for smooth operation of the boiler. This is particularly related to clinker free
operation, less loss on ignition in the ash, limited spray in DESH and flexibility to handle sudden
load changes.
The following are some of the points to be discussed with OEM in order to make the boiler suitable
for the above requirements.
Combustor modification for 50 TPH – peak capacity
In the combustor design, the bed coil HTA plays a major role. Once the bed coil HTA is decided, for
72 TPH, entire bed operation for 50 TPH would result in low bed temperature / low bed height. The
fluidisation velocity also will come down. For the present combustor cross section area, the
fluidisation velocity will be 2.8 m/s with the bed temperature of 920 deg C. At 50 TPH load, the
fluidisation velocity will be 1.98 m/s if the bed temperature can be maintained at 900 deg C.

The refractory cover is any how required at the bed coil bends where the studs are pitched at 40 mm.
See photographs 1 to 3 in annexure 2. Balance refractory cover can be preferably done above coal
nozzle area so that erosion above bed coil can be kept under control. See photo 4. See a typical
drawing made by us in photo 5 & 6 for another boiler.
Since the boiler is under warranty period, it is recommended to take up with OEM for details of
refractory lining and the methodology of derating. The phoscast lining was done in OEM’s boiler in
their installations at SPB and JSW.
The phoscast is a product developed by Castwell industries, Nagpur. The specification by the
supplier is attached in annexure 3. There are equivalent products such ACC-plast and Tataplast. But
phoscast is found to go well. The application should be done by the supplier’s mason. The profile of
phoscast is very important. The castable should not project out of the tips of studs. See drawing in
photo 5 of annexure 2.
The DP drop at 50 TPH steam generation is calculated to be 155 mmWC. This is quite good as
compared to DP of 86 mmWC being operated in many Cethar boilers. This is with SA ports closed,
so that all the combustion air is given at the nozzles in the DP.
By the above modifications, the boiler can be derated to a peak capacity of 50 TPH. Further by
operating at 950 deg C, peaking situations can be made. With excess air further small peaking
capacity will increase. It will at least have 55 TPH peaking capacity.
By doing the above, all the evaporative circuits come in to good circulation on the water side. That is
a must for proper water chemistry.

It is also possible to blank some of the coils at the header and adjust the heating surface as required.
Flexibility for load turndown

The boiler is provided with one small compartment and two bigger compartments. This cuts down
the flexibility of load control. If load turn down is expected to be frequent, the number of
compartments has to be made as five. Without which, there will be venting losses, which will make
the boiler inefficient.
It should be possible to achieve further turn down by slumping the first compartment. 36 TPH steam
generation should be possible after the above modification is done. Operating with 1 & 2
compartments and meeting the steam requirement would put the third compartment coils in caustic

1. After the design check it was understood that the bed cold fluidisation would be difficult. Hence
the bed material was emptied completely as per our request. New material was added. While
draining the bed, clinkers were found in the bed.
2. The bed height recommended was 300 mm above the air nozzle. In addition as requested bed
material was poured along the borders to control the spillage during mixing of the bed.
3. Boiler was started on 1st Feb evening and 2nd compartment activation could be done only on 2nd
morning. 2nd compartment activation was done in our presence. The air box pressure and bed
height difference was maintained in the range of 300 mmWC by OEM operators. They were
convinced to keep the air flow such that the DP drop would be in the range of 150 mm WC to
200 mmWC. After this the steam temperature before DESH came under control. ID fan loading
was normal.
4. The bed height was increased to 380 mm when the1st and 2nd compartments were in operation.
This proved better stability.
5. There was an earth fault trip in the transformer. The beds were revived with underbed feeding,
though OEM operators were interested in overbed.
6. The PA line choking wax experienced once the PA header pressure came down to 850 mmWC
when the PA lines of 3 rd compartments were opened for line flushing. This made few lines to get
choked. The PA lines were being dechoked without closing the coal feed gates above. This
resulted in low bed temperatures. On request, the gates were closed and the line dechoking was
done. This had helped in maintaining the bed temperature as the coal was not spilling in to the
working PA lines to the bed.
rd
7. The 3 compartment mixing was found to occur only at 650 mmWC airbox pressure. The mixing
was done several times before coal feeding.
8. As the 3rd bed was catching up with coal feed, the steam temperatures started crossing 530 deg C.
As per instruction, the boiler steam pressure was lowered to 78 kg/cm2 before activating 3rd
compartment. The steep temperature rise is due to large sized bed activation. As the bed
temperature showed rising trend, the 1st compartment was slumped. The bypass of DESH spray
had to be opened. The surge in steam temperature is due to activation of a large size
compartment.
9. The steam requirement did not go up further as there was an exhaust temperature issue in turbine,
once the LP extraction flow was increased. Instructions were given to OEM operators to hold the
bed height at 375 mmWC so that the bed temperatures are around 850 deg C only. Only 2nd and

3rd compartments are to be operated However once in a hour or two the 1 st compartment must

Photo 1: The bed temperatures are seen to be erratic. Some of the bed temperatures are too low. With this condition, the third compartment activation
was not successful.


Photo 2: The DP drop is as high as 300 mmWC. This high DP will throw the bed material to non operating compartment. Further it cools the bed. The
less bed DP indicates that the bed height is less. The bed height shall be increased while 1st and 2nd compartments are in operation.


Photo 3: The PSH outlet steam temperature has touched 480 deg C, where as the thickness and material selection is based on 421 deg C.


Photo 4: The ID draft had been at 150 mmWC. The ID fan is selected with 195 mmWC. The gas flow had been high as indicated by the oxygen level.

Photo 03: The gas flow is estimated to be 51.92 m3/s with 12.7% O2 at boiler outlet. This is the
condition when the boiler was generating 45 TPH steam with a feed water temperature of 130 deg C.

Photo 05: The gas velocity is seen to be OK at APH to ESP duct. There are no bottle necks anywhere
in the gas ducting. This is for the performance coal of 2353 Kcal/kg GCV.

ANNEXURE 2: DERATING OF THE BOILER CAPACITY

Photo 01: The stud to stud gap is more at the bends. Any pitch more than 20 mm is susceptible to
erosion between the studs. It is advised to cover the bends with phoscast refractory. Incidentally this
will help in reducing the bed coil area, which will help to derate the boiler steam generation.

Photo 03: The view of the bed coils with phoscast refractory.

Photo 05: The refractory is to be applied to the tip of the studs only. Care should be taken in this
application to avoid other complication.
Photo 7: The above is a typical layout drawing showing the phoscast refractory applicable above the coal nozzle area. This helps to reduce the
effectiveness of the bed coil and at the same time, protect the bed coil against localised erosion.
Photo 8: The above drawing shows the application detail for each bed coil depending on the location of the coal nozzle.

APPLICATION AND CURING PROCEDURE FOR CHEMICALLY BONDED PHOSCAST

RANGE PLASTIC REFRACTORIES
Phoscast-90 XR- Developed to protect bed coil tubes from erosion. This is a two component system
consisting powder + liquid binder to be mixed at site. Applied by hand ramming on the studs of bed coil
tube by maintaining the thickness of lining approx. 20 mm. After sufficient air drying and slow heating
upto 350°C min. this refractory sets into a hard abrasion resistance mass thus preventing the tube from
erosion. Also the product has got high spalling resistance and good thermal conductivity.
MIXING :
The Phoscast plastic refractories is supplied in two components system i.e. the dry powder mix and
the liquid binder (phosphoric acid). The dry powder packing is of 50 kg each which is to be mixed
with 9.5% by weight of liquid binder ( i.e. 4.75 Kg / 2850 ml ). Water percentage for Phoscast-90
XR is 3.5% ( 1750 ml approx.) by weight of dry powder. The dry powder of 50 kg is discharged into
a plastic mixing container and first the liquid binder ( phosphoric acid) is gradually added into the dry
mix while kneading is on, using acid proof rubber handgloves. Subsequently, after adding water,
material must be mixed thoroughly again till homogenous plastic mass is obtained . Now the plastic
mass is ready for application after about 10 to 12 minutes of mixing. The Phoscast plastic refractory
mix can be applied over a period of 2 hrs. ( covered with plastic sheet or liner) after mixing, without
any effect on properties. For testing make the ball of the material with palm, drop it from 6 to 7 feet
on floor. If does not break (only flattens from the bottom) indicates that mix is OK.
APPLICATION :
Phoscast can be applied by ramming with wooden mallet having adequately large head (3” dia x
5” length x 10” long handle). The desired lining or repair thickness is built up in several courses
while ramming the mass to uniform thickness. Phoscast refractory should never be troweled to
obtain smooth surface and the surface should be finished by ramming only. Any excess mass is to
be sliced off with trowel edge and then finished by ramming again.
For bed coil tube application of AFBC boiler: The material pasty mass should be finger pressed into
5/26/2018
CURING :
Phoscast refractory hardens adequately after about 12-14 hrs in ambient and then progressively
develops strength on heating at elevated temperatures. The following curing schedule is
recommended for Phoscast plastic refractory :
Air Drying minimum 24 hours. After this refractory layer should be dried by providing halogen lights/
blower heater. This will help to dry the surface area speedily
Ambient to 200°C @40°C per hour : 4 to 5 hours.

Hold at 200°C : 6 hours.
200°C to 400°C @ 40°C per hour : 5 hours.
Hold at 400°C or max. : 6 hours or maximum.
Gradual Cooling ( ambient) to be done for next 6-8 hours.
For drying the refractory, the approximate quantity of firewood required is around 20 MT, for
smaller size boilers. The size of the firewood should be 3” to 4” dia and length approx. 4 feet.
Drying and Heating is essential for Phoscast-90 XR refractory, as this is a heat setting
refractory.
