Deaerator Heating Procedure

1) The procedure heats the deaerator feedwater storage tank to reduce dissolved oxygen levels before unit startup. 2) It involves supplying steam to the tank to raise its temperature and pressure while monitoring levels and temperatures. 3) Once the tank reaches 120°C and deaerator pressure is above 0.8 barg, the steam supply is stopped to complete the heating process and lower oxygen levels.

DEAERATOR FEEDWATER STORAGE TANK


HEATING PROCEDURE

GENERAL:
During Unit start-up dissolved oxygen (DO 2) at deaerator feedwater storage tank is
recommended to be reduced to < 20 ppb. Hence, after completion of boiler water
washing and filling of steam drum to it’s normal water level, deaerator feedwater
storage tank heating to reduce DO2 should be carried-out. This should be performed
the day before the unit scheduled start-up.

PREPARATION:

1. Boiler water washing has been satisfied and boiler steam drum is filled-up to it’s normal
level. Then Start-up and Main Feedwater Control Valves are confirmed at closed
position.
2. Deaerator Feed Water Storage Tank Level is kept at –200 mm. And the following valves
are close by manual at OPS to avoid make-up to feedwater storage tank during heating
stage.
 Deaerator Feed water Tank Level Control Valve (LCV-D-214).
 Deaerator Make-up Water Supply Valve (MOV-W-220).
 Clean Drain Recovery Valve (MOV-C-085) for the particular unit. (Note: This
valve must be checked mostly if the integrated unit for Clean Drain System is in
Normal Operation).
3. Condensate pump is inservice condition under minimum flow recirculation. Condenser
hotwell is maintained at normal water level.
4. Three BFP is inservice condition under minimum flow recirculation with minimum H/C
position.
5. Inservice Auxiliary Steam Header.
a) Open Common Aux Steam Header Isolate Valve Bypass Valve (MOV-A-103)
for warming the auxiliary steam header line.
b) Open through inching operation Common Auxiliary Header Isolate Valve (MOV-A-
102). Afterwards close Bypass Valve MOV-A-103.

PROCEDURE:

1. Confirm the following valve position in preparation for deaerator warming.


 Deaerator Pressure Control Valve (PCV-D-229) is close and at Standby Mode
 No. 4 Extraction Steam Deaerator Inlet Valve (MOV-E-075) is at open position.
 Deaerator Air Vent Orifice Bypass Valve (MOV-A-072) is open and at auto-
position.
2. Start supplying steam to deaerator auxiliary steam supply line, crack open Deaerator
Aux Steam Supply Valve (MOV-A-181) for five (5) minutes and then full open through
inching operation.
3. When MOV-A-181 is already at full open position, close PCV-D-229 by Manual mode.

4. Full open #4 Extraction Steam Deaerator Warm-up Valve (MOV-E-076) of feedwater


storage tank. Afterwards close No. 4 Extraction Steam Deaerator Inlet MOV-E-075.
5. Directly open PCV-D-229 from 0 to 100% opening by Manual mode.
6. Monitor Feedwater Storage Tank feedwater temperature and level as it increases and
expands. It is preferable that these parameters be observed in trend display.
7. When feedwater temperature at storage tank reached 100 oC and deaerator pressure
increased to at least 0.8 barg, Deaerator Air Vent Orifice Bypass Valve MOV-A-072
automatically close.
8. Discontinue supply of steam to deaerator when storage tank temperature has reached
120oC. Fully close (directly) by manual mode PCV-D-229.
9. Close deaerator auxiliary steam supply valve MOV-A-181. Afterwards open MOV-E-
075 and close MOV-E-076.
10. Stopped main BFP-A&B and keep standby BFP in operation until unit start-up.
Dissolved Oxygen shall be reduced to less than 20 ppb.
