5.0 Dosing System: Chapter-5 / 1

LP dosing involves dosing liquor ammonia/morpholine to feed water using a reciprocating pump to scavenge dissolved oxygen. A residual hydrazine concentration of 0.02 ppm is maintained. Dosing rate is adjusted based on residual hydrazine analysis of feed water samples. HP dosing involves dosing trisodium phosphate to the steam drum to precipitate dissolved salts. The required residual phosphate in blowdown is determined from a phosphate curve and maintained by adjusting the dosing rate based on blowdown sample analysis. Proper handling and storage of chemicals is important.

0 DOSING SYSTEM

5.1 LP DOSING
LP Dosing system, Liquor Ammonia/ Morpholine is dosed to feed water at the
inlet of feed pumps scavenge the last traces of dissolved oxygen in feed water.

To ensure proper dosing, a residual concentration of Hydrazine (0.02 ppm) is


usually maintained in the boiler water. The correct treatment level may very
depending on operating conditions like water characteristics and boiler pressure.

DESCRIPTION
DM water or condensate is mixed with concentrated Liquor Ammonia/ Morpholine
using motorized agitator in mixing tank and stored at storage tank. Prepared
chemical is dosed to feed water using reciprocating pump. The flow of
reciprocating pump can be varied by adjusting the stroke of the plunger through a
scaled knob. At the pump discharge a pressure gauge is provided to read the
pump discharge pressure. One no. of pressure relieving valve is provided to
safeguard the pump against high pressure. Necessary isolation valves are
provided to isolate the pump. One no. of NRV is provided in the pump outlet to
prevent the back flow of water to the pump.

PROCEDURE
The boiler is under normal operation, chemical is dosed at a particular rate and
feed water sample is analysed for residual hydrazine. Based on analysis, increase
or decrease the dosing rate to get the required residual hydrazine in the feed water.
Once the required residual hydrazine is obtained note the stroke and chemical
concentration (Ratio of water/Liquor Ammonia), which should not be varied unless
there is any change in the feed water quality.
HANDLING AND STORAGE

 Avoid contact with skin and eyes.


 Solution if prepared should be made in a covered tank. Since the solution
can absorb oxygen from the atmosphere, not more than one-day
requirement should be prepared at a time.

5.2 HP DOSING
In HP dosing system, trisodium phosphate is dosed to steam drum to precipitate
the dissolved salts forming hardness. This precipitated sludge is removed through
blow down. To ensure proper dosing of phosphate recommended amount of
residual phosphate is maintained in the blow down. The amount of required
residual phosphate can be obtained from phosphate curve, which depends on the
pH value of boiler water.

DESCRIPTION
DM water is mixed with trisodium phosphate in mixing tank and stored at storage
tank. Water is thoroughly mixed with chemicals using motoried agitator. Prepared
chemical is dosed in steam drum using reciprocating pump. The flow of
reciprocating pump can be varied by adjusting the stroke of the plunger through a
scaled knob. At the pump discharge a pressure gauge is provided to read the
pump discharge pressure. One no. of pressure relieving valve is provided to
safeguard the pump against high pressure. Necessary isolation valves are
provided to isolate the pump. One no. of NRV is provided in the pump outlet to
prevent the back flow of water to the pump.

PROCEDURE
When the boiler is under normal operation chemical is dosed at a particular rate
and boiler blow down sample is analysed for residual trisodium phosphate. Based
on analysis increase or decrease the dosing rate to get the required residual
phosphate (PO4). Once the required residual phosphate is obtained note the stroke
and chemical concentration (Ratio of Water/PO4), which should not be varied
unless there is any change in the feed water quality.

HANDLING AND STORAGE


 Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
 Avoid extremes of temperature.
 Replace caps securely after use.
 Maximum storage limit is 2 years.
