1.0 PURPOSE
The feedwater system transports feedwater from the feedwater tank through the boiler feedwater
pumps. The pump HP discharge flows to the HP feedwater system through the HP feedwater
level control valves to the inlet of the HP economizer and to the HP steam attemperator. Two
boiler feedwater pump inter-stage bleeds provide feedwater to the IP and LP feedwater systems.
The IP feedwater system branches of to supply the HP bypass attemperator and continues to the
inlet of the IP economizer before flowing through the IP feedwater level control valves and into
the IP drum. The LP feedwater system flows to the inlet of the LP economizer before flowing
through the LP feedwater level control valves and into the LP drum. The LP feedwater system
piping also provides hot water return back to the feedwater tank to assist in heating the Feedwater
Tanks. Feedwater pump minimum flow recirculation is provided via Automatic Recirculation
Check (ARC) valves located on the HP discharge of each pump.
1.1 Abbreviations:
Piping is designed in accordance with the requirements of ASME B31.1, "Power Piping."
The heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) components (evaporators, drums, super-heaters, re-
heaters, and economizers) are designed in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler
& Pressure Vessel Code (B & PVC), Section I.
The feedwater pumps are designed in accordance with the requirements of API Standard 610.
The feedwater system piping, valves, and equipment are designated with the KKS code LAA
(Feedwater Tanks and De-aerators), LAB (HP, IP and LP Feedwater systems) and LAC
(Feedwater pumps).
The HP Feedwater large bore piping system DN200 (8”) is fabricated from SA335 Gr. 12 Alloy
steel piping.
The IP Feedwater large bore piping system DN80 (3”) and smaller and the LP Feedwater large
bore piping system DN65 (2,5”) and smaller are fabricated from SA106 Grades B carbon steel

rated. LP feedwater and suction piping valves are ANSI class 300 rated. The suction, LP and IP
feedwater piping system small bore valves DN50 (2”) and smaller are made of SA 105 forged
carbon steel material and are ANSI class 800 rated. All suction, LP and IP feedwater piping
system valves are supplied with dimensional standards per ANSI B16.10.
Each unit feedwater system is associated with one HRSG and is independent of the other
feedwater system. One Feedwater Tank and Deaerator is provided for each HRSG.
Two 100% capacity feed pumps, each driven by a direct connected electric motor, are provided
for each HRSG.
The feedwater system for the HRSG, branch piping, and major components therein are designed
to satisfy the following operating conditions:
Each unit’s Feedwater Tank and Deaerator is designed for the worst case operating scenario of a
steam turbine bypass operating case with 75 kg/s of incoming condensate at 45°C (no condensate
preheating from the Low Pressure Condensate Preheater).
One of the two feed pumps per HRSG is capable of supporting the HRSG operation at the
operating design conditions:
Flow
The rated flow at the inlet of the boiler feed pump shall be equal to the sum of flows required to
feed one HRSG, when operating at the of the safety valve setpoints on the HP/IP/LP-Boiler
drums.
• The design flow rate of the LP- water cycle of one HRSG, considering the raised
steam and the hot water extracted downstream of the LP-economizer.
• The design flow rate of the IP- water cycle.
• Spray water for the de-superheating of the steam downstream of the HP-bypass. In
case of By-pass operation (add-on safety margin, as the IP-bypass is closed, when the
safety valve on the HP-Drum blows-off).
• The design flow rate of the HP- water cycle.
• The make up to recover the continuous blow down losses of the HRSG. The blow
down of water from the drums takes place during normal operation. This is covered
by the safety margin previously mentioned.
Differential Head
The rated differential head of the different sections of the Boiler Feedwater Pump is the
difference between the required discharge head at the LP/IP/HP-pump nozzles and the pressure at
inlet of the pump.
For each HRSG unit, one (1) Feedwater Tank (11LAA10 BB001, 12LAA10 BB001) and
Deaerator (11LAA10 BB002, 12LAA10 BB002) are provided to preheat the feedwater going into
the HRSG.
Each tray type Deaerator receives condensate from the Main Condensate System. This
condensate is cascaded over a series of trays to increase the surface contact area with the
Deaerator steam injected into the lower section of the Deaerator. The steam admission takes place
via the inlet valve of the De-aerator (11LBA30 AA006 / 12LBA30 AA006). The dissolved non-
condensable gases in the main condensate are segregated during the boiling process in the
Feedwater tank and deaerator and are led with vent steam via a manual control valve to the
atmosphere (11LAA10 AA502 / 12LAA10 AA502).
Each Feedwater tank is fitted with two steam jet nozzle distribution grids (one for warming and
one for after-boiling) and one LP hot water mixing nozzle distribution grid located in the bottom
of the tanks. Steam into the After-Boiling nozzles is admitted through the motor operated After-
Boiling Admission Valves (11LBA30 AA003 / 12LBA30 AA003). Steam to the warming nozzles
is admitted through the normally open manually operated Feedwater Tank Warming Valves
(11LBA30 AA004 / 12LBA30 AA004). The net storage volume in each tank is approximately
25 m3 as defined by the volume between the Normal control water level and the low-low water
level for feedwater pump protection. The boiler feedwater pump minimum flow recirculation
lines are routed back into the feedwater tank. A safety relief valve is provided for over-pressure
protection against complete water fill. A vacuum breaker is also provided. A check valve
connected back into the steam inlet line provides a flow path from tank to after-boiling steam
distributor in case of a sudden pressure drop in the LP steam system. This will prevent water
induction into the LP steam line. Since the steam lines enter the tank underwater, if the pressure
in the tank is greater than in the steam line, the water in the tank could travel up and into the
steam line. To avoid this potential problem, the water induction line allows excess pressure to be
relieved from the top of the feedwater tank and into the LP steam line. A motorized emergency
drain valve (11LAA10 AA401 / 12LAA10 AA401) opens upon a high water level in the
feedwater tank and discharges excess feedwater into the Blow-down Drain Pit (00GMA20
BB001).
The de-aerated water leaves the tank as Feedwater with the following main conditions:
• The Feedwater is heated up to a temperature of 130 °C (= 1.7 barg (24.7 psi))
A connection is provided in the deaerator outlet neck flange connection to the feedwater tank for
the injection of ammonia from the Ammonia chemical dosing system (KKS code QCD).
The feedwater pump suction piping, valves, and equipment are designated with the KKS code
LAB. One feedwater tank is provided for each HRSG unit. Each feedwater tank provides suction
to two 100% capacity feedwater pumps. The feedwater pump suction from the Feedwater tank is
a single DN300 (12”) connection to a header that branches into two DN250 (10”) lines for
connection to each individual pump. The suction piping includes manual isolation valves
(11LAB11/12 AA001 and 12LAB11/12 AA001 with open and closed limit switches
11LAB11/12CG101/102 and 12LAB11/12CG101/102), relief valves, and permanent suction
strainers (11LAC11/12 AT001 and 12LAC11/12 AT001). Each strainer is equipped with a
differential pressure switch (11LAC11/12 CP101 and 12LAC11/12 CP101).
Each feedwater pump and associated strainer can be isolated by the manually-operated gate
valves on both the suction and discharge sides (main discharge and inter-stage bleeds) of the
pumps. Repair of the pumps can be performed while the plant is in operation. Check valves are
provided on the IP and LP discharge lines. The feedwater pump suction and discharge valves are
normally open. The suction valves are provided with open and closed limit switch to prove the
valve position and are interlocked into the pump control.
A relief valve set at 10.5 barg (152 psi) is located in the suction piping of each pump. The relief
valve prevents overpressure of the suction piping due to leakage from the discharge or inter-stage
bleed header check valves through the standby pump, if the pump suction valve is closed.
HP Feedwater System
The HP- feedwater system is designed for 225 barg (3263 psi) and 140°C.
The DN200 (8”) HP feedwater discharge lines from each pump supply a common DN200 (8”)
discharge header. The main HP feedwater flow path passes through flow element (11LAB70
QB001 and 12LAB70 QB001 furnished by NEM) to the HRSG interface connection.
Downstream of this connection, the HP feedwater continues to the normal and start-up HP drum
level control valves (11LAB70 AA151, 11LAB70 AA152 and 12LAB70 AA151, 12LAB70
AA152). A motor operated HP Feedwater shut-off valve (11LAB70AA001 and 12
LAB70AA001) and check valve (11LAB70 AA002 and 12LAB70 AA002) are provided in the
piping downstream of the control valves for HRSG isolation as required by the ASME B & PV
code. Flow continues through the economizer and into the HP drum.
Downstream of each flow element (11LAB70 QB001 and 12LAB70 QB001) in the main HP
feedwater flow path, a branch provides spray water to the HRSG HP steam attemperators
(11HAH70 AH001 and 12HAH70 AH001 provided by NEM). A motorized block valve
(11LAE70 AA002 and 12LAE70 AA002) is provided in the HP attemperator spray water supply
pipe. Attemperator flow continues to the NEM supplied check valve followed by NEM supplied
control valve (11LAE70 AA151 and 12LAE70 AA151), which controls flow to the attemperator
based upon final HP super-heater outlet steam temperature (11HAH70 CT906 and 11HAH70
CT906).
IP Feedwater System
The IP- feedwater system is designed for 90 barg (1305 psi) and 145°C.
The IP feedwater inter-stage bleed from each pump feeds a common DN80 (3”) header. A DN65
(2.5”) branch line supplies the HP Bypass attemperator spray valves (11MAN50 AA151 and
12MAN50 AA151 provided by NEM). Downstream of this branch connection, the flow passes
through the flow element (11LAB50 QB001 and 12LAB50 QB001 furnished by NEM) and to the
HRSG interface connection. Downstream of the interface connection, NEM furnished IP
feedwater piping continues through the check valve (11LAB50AA001 and 12LAB50AA001)
which provides the NBEP and BEP code break and onto the IP Feedwater shut-off and shut-off
bypass valves (11LAB50 AA002, 11LAB50 AA012 and 12LAB50 AA002, 12LAB50 AA012)
before continuing onto the economizer. Flow through the IP economizer and into the IP drum is
regulated by the IP level control valve (11HAC50 AA151 and 12HAC50 AA151) located
downstream of the economizer.
Upstream of the IP level control valve, a branch connection provides spray water to the HRSG
reheat steam attemperator (11LBB50 AH001 and 12LBB50 AH001 provided by NEM). A
motorized block valve (11LAF50 AA001 and 12LAF50 AA001) is provided in the HRH
attemperator spray water supply pipe. Attemperator flow continues to the NEM supplied control
valve (11LAF50 AA151 and 12LAF50 AA151), which controls flow to the attemperator based
upon final HRH super-heater outlet steam temperature (11LBB50 CT904).
LP Feedwater System
The LP- feedwater system is designed for 40 barg (580 psi) and 145°C.
The LP feedwater inter-stage bleed from each pump feeds a common DN100 (4”) header and to
the HRSG interface connection. Downstream of this interface connection, the flow passes through
the flow element (11LAB20 QB001 and 12LAB20 QB001 furnished by NEM) and continues
through the check valve (11LAB20AA001 and 12LAB20AA001) which provides the NBEP and
BEP code break. Thereafter, the LP Feedwater shut-off and shut-off bypass valves (11LAB20
AA001, 11LAB20 AA011 and 12LAB20 AA001, 12LAB20 AA011) before continuing onto the
economizer. Flow through the LP economizer and into the LP drum is regulated by the LP level
control valve (11HAC20 AA151 and 12HAC20 AA151) located downstream of the economizer.
Upstream of the LP level control valves, a DN100 (4”) LP Hot Water return line is provided to
maintain flow through the LP Economizer and avoid deadheaded situations that could result in
acid dew point corrosion in the LP economizer. To control a constant flow rate of 20 kg/s
(72 t/h) of hot water return flow rate, a flow meter (11LAB60 QB001/CF001 and
12LAB60QB001/CF001) and a flow control valve (11LAB60 AA101 and 12LAB60 AA101) are
provided. Check valve (11LAB60 AA002 and 12LAB60 AA002) prevents backflow from the
Feedwater tank into the LP Economizer system during shutdown.
An automatic modulating recirculation check (ARC) valve (11LAB41 AA001, 11LAB42 AA001
and 12LAB41 AA001, 12LAB42 AA001) is located in the HP feedwater line immediately
downstream of the HP discharge nozzle of each feedwater pump. The ARC valve automatically
modulates to ensure minimum flow for pump protection at low loads by bypassing flow from the
HP discharge of the feedwater pump to the Feedwater Tank. The ARC valve also serves as a
check valve by preventing backflow into the pump. In each recirculation line, a breakdown
orifice (11LAB43 BP001, 11LAB44 BP001, 12LAB43 BP001 and 12LAB44 BP001) and a
manual globe valve (11LAB43 AA001, 11LAB44 AA001, 12LAB43 AA001 and 12LAB44
AA001) are provided to maintain back pressure on the downstream side of the ARC valve
recirculation connections. The orifice will be sized to avoid flashing in the recirculation line.
Seal water is provided to the inboard and outboard mechanical seals of the feedwater pumps. The
seal water is taken from the feedwater pump, routed through a seal water cooler provided by the
pump vendor then supplied to the mechanical seals. This arrangement is in accordance with Plan
23 of API 610.
The pump bearings and the coolers for the boiler feed pump mechanical seals are cooled with
cooling water from the Closed Cooling Water System (See System Description TZ03-CD-PGB-
PAR0001). The balance line of the mechanical seal on the discharge side is connected via an
orifice to the suction nozzle.
Water Chemistry
A sample connection is provided in the Feedwater common suction line for measurement of
dissolved oxygen (11LAB10 CQ001 and 12LAB10 CQ001). A sample piping is routed to the
BOP sample panel where a conditioned sample is provided for analysis.
A sample connection is also provided in the LP feedwater piping upstream of the LP Feedwater
shut-off valves. This sample piping is routed to the NEM provided sample panels where a
conditioned sample is provided for analysis.
Electrical Power
Power for the feedwater pumps is from the plant 4160 volt switchgear. Bus 00BBA supplies
power to 11LAC11 AP001 and 12LAC11 AP001. Bus 00BBB supplies power to 11LAC12
AP001 and 12LAC12 AP001.

4.1 Hazards:
No special hazards are considered to exist in the feedwater system beyond those normally
associated with high temperature, high pressure piping, and rotating equipment. Personnel should
be aware that automatic start of a standby feedwater pump can occur. When cleaning the suction
strainers, operating personnel should be cautious of the presence of high temperature water with a
flashing potential.
4.2 Precautions:
There are no special precautions for safe operation of the feedwater system. Startup, normal
operation, and shutdown must be in accordance with instructions received from the manufacturers
furnishing equipment for this system.
Operating and Maintenance staff should ensure that the appropriate Lock out – Tag out
procedures have been followed prior to breaking the pressure boundary. When isolating a pump
for maintenance, the IP and LP bleed discharge valve is closed first. Next, the HP main discharge
valve is closed. Only after these two valves are positively shut should the suction isolation valve
be closed.
5.1 Commissioning:
The feedwater system, subsystems, and components will be commissioned as described in the
startup plan for the plant.
5.2 Start-up:
The boiler feedwater system, subsystems, and components will normally be started up as follows:
• Breaker status for feedwater pump and motor operated valves racked in and operational.
• 4.16 kV switchgear bus MVSWGR1 and bus MVSWGR2 is energized.
• Normal oil level in feedwater pump bearings.
• Main Condensate system in-service.
• Chemical feed systems available for service.
• Condensate makeup Water system in-service.
• Auxiliary cooling water system in-service.
• Blind flanges installed on chemical cleaning connections.
• Feedwater pump suction strainers are cleaned and installed.
Starting the Feedwater Tank and Deaerator is accomplished automatically in the following
sequence (Refer to Operations and Maintenance Manual TZ03-XN-LAA-WT0001):
• Initial warming of the Feedwater Tank is accomplished using the warming steam nozzles via
11LBA30 AA004 / 12LBA30 AA004. The Deaerator inlet Valve (11LBA30 AA006 /
12LBA30 AA006) and the Feedwater After-boiling Admission Valve (11LBA30 AA003 /
The line-up of DCS controlled or monitored equipment for the Feedwater System prior to startup
is as follows (Note: the line up described below is for Unit 11. The line up for Unit 12 is
identical):
One feedwater tank and One feedwater pump is required for normal operation per HRSG.
The second feedwater pump will be maintained in standby with suction and discharge valves
open and will automatically start on low discharge header pressure (11LAB41/42 CP001,
12LAB41/42 CP001) or trip of the operating feed pump.
The condenser hotwell level control valves (11LCA10 AA101, 11LCA10 AA101) are normally
in automatic, three element, hotwell level control (10MAG10 CL901).
The Feedwater tanks level control valve (10GHC20 AA101) is normally in automatic level
control using the Feedwater tanks three element processed levels (11LAA10 CL901, 12LAA10
CL901).
The system does not require operator action after start-up, except for normal surveillance through
the plant DCS. All alarms should be monitored continually from the DCS.
Root valves for sample system should be opened when unit is on line.
5.4 Shutdown:
Continuous feedwater delivery is required to maintain steam drum level while bringing the plant
to a shutdown. As the HRSG load decreases, the feedwater system will decrease flow to the
steam drum via the feedwater level control valve. As the feed pump flow reaches its minimum
flow, the ARC on the pump discharge will begin to open. The ARC valve will maintain minimum
flow through the pump until the pump can be shut off.
If feedwater flow rate is greater than twice the pump minimum flow setpoint, transfer of
operation from the operating pump shall be accomplished as follows:
- Place the standby pump in manual and select START from the DCS.
- After verifying that the standby pump has started, place the operating pump in manual
and select OFF from the DCS.

1.0 PURPOSE
The intent of this procedure is to instruct the operator how to start the Feedwater system using the Subgroup Controller
(Sequencer). This procedure assumes all equipment is operational and the system is filled. At the conclusion of the
sequence the Closed Feedwater System is in operation.
2.0 PREREQUISITES
3.0 PROCEDURE
NOTE: The various sequences and pre-selection cause certain setpoint values to automatically be selected. This is NORMAL. Minor
transients and over/undershooting is to be expected during startup, shutdown and transients. The process should be given time to
return to its setpoint. The operator should only assume manual operation if the deviation is exceeding design limits and the logic is
not correcting it quickly enough.
This Procedure is intended to provide the operator with instruction on how to start using the sub-group sequences.
It is important to note that some of the steps have checkbacks from other sequences or process conditions that require the sequence step to be held until
certain the checkbacks are satisfied.
NOTE: Description below is for HRSG 11. Description for HRSG 12 is identical except for unit identified is 12.
