Interlock, Protection & Permissive of BFP

This document discusses the permissive, interlock, and protection systems for boiler feed pumps (BFP). There are three BFPs with 50% maximum continuous rating capacity that can operate in auto or manual modes. To start a BFP, certain permissive conditions must be met, including cooling water valve opening and auxiliary lube oil pump cutoff after 30 seconds if pressure rises. The interlocks automatically open cooling water valves and cut auxiliary pumps. The auto sequence starts the standby pump if load is over 40% and two other pumps are running. Protection systems trigger tripping alarms and shut down pumps if issues arise.

Interlock, Protection & Start

Permissive of Aux. Equipment

- :A Presentation: -

Nisith Kumar Roy, Sr. Mgr. (E).

What is Permissive ?
Permissive is nothing but certain conditions
which are to be fulfilled for safe start of
the related Equipment / Machine. It is one
kind of Interlock & Protection for starting.
In older days, the task of Interlock and
Protection were achieved by using some
Sensor / Detector and Electromagnetic Relay.
But now a day, due to advancement of
Technology and introduction of Computer in
Process Industry, Solid State Relay and / or
PLC are widely used for the purpose of
Interlock and Protection.

- :Boiler Feed Pump: Interlock, Protection and


Permissive

Boiler Feed Pump (BFP):


There are three numbers BFP having
50% MCR capacity.
Normally two numbers BFP are running
and other one remains as Stand-by.
The Stand-by BFP can be selected for
Auto Standby mode of Operation.
Auto Start as well Remote Manual Start
of each BFP is permitted.
To Start BFP, either in Auto or Manual,
following conditions which are Known as
Permissive, are to be fulfilled.

Start Permissive of BFP:

Interlock of BFP:
Start (ON) of BFP will cause: Auto Opening of Cooling Water Valve
(DMCW-63 for BkTPP) to supply Cooling
Water to Working Oil Cooler and Motor
Winding Cooler.
Auto cut-out of Auxiliary Lube Oil Pump
will take place with a Time Delay of 30
Seconds if Lube oil Header Pressure rises
above 2.8 Kg / Sq.cm.

Interlock for Aux. Lube Oil


Pump of BFP:

Sequential Start of BFP


[Auto
]:
To select Auto Sequence Start of BFP the Group
Sequence Control Selector Switch is to be
placed at Unfulfillment Criteria position (Auto
Mode) and Sequence Control Switch of the
Pump is to be selected for Auto Operation.
Then START Command is to be issued from

Control Desk / Control Panel.


Operation will take place in Step as detailed in

next Slides.

Auto Standby Start of BFP:


The Auto Standby Mode Start of BFP will activate if
both the under mentioned conditions are satisfied.
Otherwise, concerned BFP, though it is selected for
Auto Standby mode of operation, will not take start
automatically in the event of tripping of any running
BFP.
1. Boiler Load must be more than 40% MCR.
2. Other Two BFP are in Running Condition.
