Interlock, Protection & Permissive of BFP

The document discusses permissive conditions and interlocks for starting boiler feed pumps (BFPs). It describes that permissive conditions must be fulfilled for safe start of equipment. For BFP start, cooling water valves open and auxiliary lube oil pumps cut out after 30 seconds if pressure rises above a threshold. There are three BFPs that can start automatically in sequence when load is above 40% and two other BFPs are running. Tripping alarms and protection trips for the BFPs are also discussed.

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.

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 Start Sequence of BFP:
Auto Start Sequence of BFP:
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.
