• Inform the local operator to be near mill for start up.
Start the mill

Milling System
• POST START CHECKS
• Local -Check there is no abnormal sound from mill. Check return
oil flow from upper bearing is satisfactory. Check all the rollers
are rotating and the rate of reject is normal (after the mill is
loaded).
• U.C.B.-Check mill starting time and current. Ensure that they
are normal. Open hot air gate. Warm up the mill.
• Start the RC feeder and load the mill gradually.
• Keep the air flow through mill - 54 T/hr.
• Keep watch on mill differential to avoid mill choking.

• As the pressure, temperature of main steam shoots up with coal
firing proper check should be kept on these parameters.

• Mill temperature comes down to less than 500C.
• Mill CAD goes to <5% open
• Airflow to furnace drops slightly.
ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS
• Electrostatic precipitators are not normally taken into service (i.e.
the zones are not changed) when firing on oil only and, if possible,
the EP should be bypassed whilst firing on oil only. This is done to
prevent oil deposition on electrodes which can reduce E.P.
efficiency drastically.
• If EP bypasses are not fitted, the gas flow should be limited to one
of the main passes during the initial oil firing stage of the pressure
raising.
• Anti-condensation heaters & hopper heaters, if provided must be
taken into service well before boiler light up is initiated.
• The EP zones must be taken into service just before coal firing is
started in the boiler. The frequency of rapping should be properly
adjusted and their operation must be locally checked.
