The key takeaways are that commissioning involves bringing systems online and ensuring they meet performance requirements. It includes activities like pre-commissioning checks, trials of auxiliaries, leak testing, drying refractories, steam blowing, and performance testing.

The purpose of pre-commissioning activities is to ensure the installation meets critical design dimensions and tolerances by checking aspects like alignments, supports, expansion clearances, tapping points, and access for operation and maintenance.

The main steps involved in commissioning a boiler are system cleanliness checks, trials of auxiliaries, leak testing, drying refractories, alkali boil out, steam blowing, setting safety valves, tuning operation parameters, and performing performance trials.

WHAT IS COMMISSIONING?

MEANS

• BRING LIFE INTO THE BOILER


AUXILLIARIES AND ASSOCIATED
SYSTEMS.
• MAKES THE BOILER & SYSTEMS
OPERATIONAL.

COMMISSIONING - WHY?

• FIND ALL THE POSSIBLE AREAS OF


TROUBLE BEFORE OPERATION AND
RECTIFY.
• TUNE THE UNIT FOR OPTIMUM
PERFORMANCE
