5.0

PROCESS :-

-Boiler is filled with D M water & drained as fast as possible to remove

suspended matter to the extent possible .This operation is repeated one or two
times till the draining water appears clear.
-Once the above operation is completed, fill up the boiler with DM water until
the water is seen little above the bottom of the steam drum.Keep the manhole
cover open.
-Prepare a solution of tri-sodium phosphate and di-sodium phosphate as per
dosage mentioned in DM water and charge the chemicals in to the boiler drum
through the manhole by several increments.The entire quantity of the
chemicals is dosed in to the boiler.
-Close the manhole cover and light up the boiler as per O&M instructions.Raise
the steam pressure gradually to 40 kg/cm2 . Boiler expansion readings should
be recorded at 10, 20, 30 and 40 kg/cm2 & uniformity must be
ensured.Maintain the pressure for 12 hrs.
-Maintain the boiler pressure at 35 to 40 kg/cm2. Blow down through the
bottom header drain valves in order to ensure removal of muck and other
impurities collected at the bottom.The opening and closing of the drain valves
should be done very quickly and not exceeding one minute operation per
valve.It is equally important, during the entire operation to maintain the drum
level.
-The low point blow downs are to be operated once in two hours and six such
blow downs are given during the 12 hours operatio0n of boil out.
-Boiler water sample is collected after every blow down and analysed for pH
and alkalinity.
-After the completion of 12 hours of boil out operation, the boiler is boxed up
and allowed to cool naturally, so that the pressure is dropped to 1 kg/cm2.At 1
kg/cm2 . pressure, the boiler is drained through low point drains.The
superheaters are back flushed thoroughly.The boiler is filled and drained 2 or 3
times using DM water till the pH of the flushing water approaches to that of DM

water.The drums are inspected and any debris collected at the bottom drum
removed manually.
During alkali boil out operation ,important parameters like pressure,
feeding rate ,temperature and water analysis etc. are systematically logged.
The boiler is then prepared for steam blowing operations.
Another Method-2
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR ALKALI BOIL OUT
1.0 Objective:
Once the boiler light up is carried out, preoperational cleaning is taken up in which alkali
boil out forms the first activity.
Alkali Boil out at an elevated pressure of 40 Kg/cm 2 (Drum Pressure) is carried out prior
to acid cleaning to meet the following objective:

It prepares the surfaces for ensuring acid cleaning.

It mostly converts the entire interior scale to magnetic oxide that could be easily
dissolved by acid solvents used during acid cleaning.

It loosens the binding or the scale to parent metal.

Loose metal oxides are removed from the system leaving a lesser quality of oxides
for acid digestion.

Surface cracks are developed over the scale layer, benefiting better acid
penetration and effective cleaning in shorter time.

As the total time for acid injection, retention and draining is restricted to a
maximum of 6 hours, partial removal of oxides and better surface preparation help in
achieving the pickling operation in the recommended time limit.

Removal of oil, greases, dirt and any preservative organic coating is ensured. This
helps in accomplishing effective acid cleaning and surface exposure.

2.0 Procedure
2.1

Scope

The scope of cleaning during this operation includes a portion of feed line, entire
evaporative system of the boiler and the economizer.
2.2

Technique

Alkali boil out at a pressure of 40 Kg/cm 2 is carried out using a combination of Tri-sodium
Phosphate (concentration 1000 ppm as Na3 PO4 12H2O) and Di Sodium Phosphate
Hepta Hydrate (concentration 500 ppm as Na2 HPO4-7H2O).

2.3

Preparation

Boiler should be ready in all respects for light up and raising the drum
pressure to 40 Kg/cm2.

All the drum internals including the secondary steam separators are in
position as per the drawings.

Boiler drain header may be connected to storm water drain suitably with
temporary line and well supported.

2.4

Permanent gauge glass is to be replaced by a temporary gauge glass.

Adequate DM water and specified chemicals as per the requirement should

be made available after ensuring their quality by testing of samples.

HP dosing system should be operational with concentration boiler

chemicals charged into the supply tank.

Sampling points for drum water samples should be made available.

Quantity of D.M. water 900 MT to be made available.

Following chemicals to be made available: TPS 300 Kg; DSP 150 Kg.
Process

1.

Fill the boiler with dematerialized water upto the bottom of the drum.

2.

Mix the required quantity of Na3 PO4 & Na2 HPO4 with DM water in small
increments and prepare a homogeneous solution in a 200-liter drum.

3.

Add the total quantity of chemicals into the steam drum through the drum
manhole, close the manhole and raise the water level to minimum visibility in the
gauge glass.

4.

Light up the Boiler as per O & M instructions and slowly raise the drum pressure
in increments of 5, 10, 20, 25, 30 & 40 Kg/cm 2. Monitor and record the expansion
movement of the boiler by the expansion markers already provided at different
locations. If any obstruction is noticed stop increasing boiler pressure and remove
the obstruction.

5.

Maintain the drum pressure at 40 Kg/cm2, with minimum possible firing rate
adjusted and with boiler startup vent valve full open, for two hours for better
digestion of the impurities by the chemicals.

6.

Put out the fire and issue blow down through low point drain by opening the
valve, for one-minute duration. Ensure that the drum level does not fall below the
visibility limit of the gauge glass.

7.

Make up the drum level and again light up the boiler to raise the pressure to 40
Kg/cm2 with the same firing rate for next two hours. The blow down as described
earlier is repeated.

8.

After every blow down operation, collect drum water sample and analyze for
phosphate, pH value and oil level content. Replenish phosphate concentration
through HP dozing system as much as possible to maintain half of the initial
sample result.

9.

The process of boiling out for two hours and blowing down is repeated till the oil
content in drain sample shall be no longer detected (> 5 ppm or traces) in two
consecutive samples or till 8 blow down are completed, whichever is later. A
minimum of 12 hours of boil out is a must in any case. Repeat the boil out with
additional chemicals, if oil level is found high.

10.

Kill the boiler fire after the completion of boil out operations and allow for

natural cooling. Hot drain the boiler when the drum pressure touches 2.0 Kg/cm 2.

11.

Fill the boiler upto the minimum drum level and back flush the super

heaters into the drum, raising level up to normal. Drain the boiler continuing the
super heater back flushing with hydrazine DM water with pH 10 and hydrazine
200 ppm. Similarly fill and drain the boiler several times till the alkalinity in super
heater and boiler drain water is less than 25 ppm.

12.

The hand hole pipes in the ring header are cut as a preparatory work for

acid cleaning. Clean the ring header through these connections with a highpressure water jet.

STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR CHEMICAL CLEANING (DRUM TYPE NATURAL
CIRCULATION BOILER)
1.01

Introduction:
Advanced steam, data in modern power stations demand high purity of steam in
order to prevent fouling of the turbine and safe operation of the power plant.
High purity of steam depends on the cleanliness of the waterside of the Boiler.
Boiler components during manufacture in shop from raw material to final shape
and during erection at site undergo both physical and chemical changes. These
include rust due to atmospheric corrosion and formation of oxides of iron due to
the heat treatment at shop. The other common impurities found are lubricants,
grease, silica in the form of silicates, etc.

Chemical cleaning, apart from imparting cleanliness of waterside

surfaces, leaves behind a thin uniform protective layer of magnetic oxide of iron
(called magnetite).
1.02

Basic Technique:
Chemical cleaning of the boiler will be carried out by a pickling solution of 4%
inhibited Hydrochloric Acid by circulation method. To intensify the action of
Hydrochloric Acid and to dissolve silicious impurities, Ammonium Bi Fluoride of
0.1% concentration after mixing is added to the cleaning solution. To lessen the
action of acid on parent metal suitable inhibitor is added to the pickling solution.
In the final phase of cleaning the freshly pickled surfaces are protected from
corrosion by a passivity layer of magnetite formed chemically by the addition of
Hydrazine and Ammonia. The above layer is reinforced further by the process of
second stage passivation, at a later stage, at a drum pressure of 40 kg/cm.
In the above process, the chlorides formed during the process are easily
soluble and go readily into solution. Cleaning time for the process is less
compared to any other cleaning solvent even at low cleaning solution velocities.

1.03

Scope of Cleaning:
The scope of cleaning includes a portion of the feed line and complete
evaporative system of the Boiler. Superheater and reheaters are excluded from
the cleaning circuit. During pickling the superheater connecting tubes will be
plugged suitably from inside the drum and remain filled and pressurized with
Ammoniated Hydrazene water confirming to pH 10.0 and Hydrazene content not
less than 200 ppm. The reheaters will remain dry through out the process.
Check that the plugs can hold more than 5 kg/cm pressure before closing the
drum manhole. To facilitate fixing the plugs the drier assemblies are removed
and for fixing orifice plate on down comers the primary and secondary
separators are removed. The pressurization of superheater system will be done
by pressurizing pump as shown in schematic drawing on page 13 of 13.

1.04

Provisional Equipment for Chemical Cleaning:

The provisional pickling equipment is designed for the CIRCULATION METHOD
of chemical cleaning and consists of a dissolving tank. Circulating pumps and
connecting piping and valves. Besides pickling equipments, valves and fitting for
the supply of water, acid, heating steam to the dissolving tank and fittings for
Nitrogen capping has also been made. Due to the chemical reaction of the
Hydrochloric Acid solution during the pickling process hydrogen gas evolves in
large quantities and being lighter than air, it gets collected at the highest spots

of the system forming undesirable gas cushions. These are continuously taken
out through drum air vents. Representative water wall tube samples are hung
inside the drum as well as in the dissolving tank to ascertain quality of cleaning.
3.04.01

Acid Circulation Pump with Motor & Starter

Acid circulation pumps of 150 to 200 t/hr with a pressure head of 150 to
200 MWC are used for the purpose. The pumps shall preferably be of single
stage, centrifugal, back pull out design with horizontal or vertical casing type
coupled to a suitable 440 V AC motor. The gland packings shall be of pure
Teflon make to have better resistance to corrosive chemicals. The pumps are
to be provided with suction and delivery piping of all the pumps are connected
to a distributor from which supply piping is lead to individual connections. The
pumps shall be erected on firm foundations giving sufficient clearances
between them for ease of operation and maintenance.

3.04.02

Dissolving Tank
Mild steel tank of 20 m3 capacity is fabricated and provided with the
following fittings.
Provision for overflow, level indication, a perforated header for heating
steam, supply lines from DM water, steam, acid, return piping from the
system, suction pipe with wire mesh at the entry, drain connections to
atmosphere with valves.
The tank shall be provided on the top with walkway along with handrails
around for handling of chemicals. The tank shall be welded by approved
quality welders and insulated.

3.04.03

Location of Temporary Equipments

The location of the temporary equipments may be decided based upon the
following considerations: i)

The dissolving tank shall be elevated to suitable height to

provide the NPSH specified for the acid circulation pumps. A suitable
location in the boiler floor area can preferably be looked for. Otherwise
the tank has to be supported externally on temporary structures.

ii)

Sufficient care should be taken to locate the dissolving tank at

a place where damage to the nearby equipment are avoided due to
possible spillage of chemical solutions from the tank by overflowing.

iii)

Sufficient space should be provided between the pumps to have

access for safe operation.

iv)

Circulating pump and starters should be separated to have

safety and ease of operation.

v)

It is preferable to locate the equipment nearer to waste

disposal point such as main station drain, etc. if possible.

vi)

The main controlling valves such as recalculating valves, valves

for make up water, steam, system return, and system drain etc. are
located near the circulating pump at convenient accessible location for
effective control of the process.

3.04.04

Effluent Disposal

Effluent disposed after completing each activity of the chemical cleaning is to be

neutralized for
1.

Remnant phosphates, after alkali boil out process.

2.

Remnant hydrochloric acid and fluoride content after pickling process.

3.

Remnant citric acid, ammonia after citric rinse.

4.

Remnant hydrazine ammonia after passivation.

Treatment of effluents 1, 3, 4 and D.M. water rinse drains can be either in waste
water treatment plant (if provided) or D.M. water plant neutralizing pit.
Phosphates are neutralized with hydrochloric acid, hydrazine and ammonia with
bleaching powder and adequately diluted with water. Customer has to decide
based on the capability of the wastewater treatment plant to recover D. M. water
from the final product. However for the picking process (effluent 2) it is preferable
to dig an eathern pit of 300 m3 and the entire boiler drain be dumped in it.
Necessary temporary drain lines, raw waterlines to neutralization pit has to be
laid accordingly. Adequate lime has to be dosed and mixed to raise the pH to 8.0.
Agitate the solution with compressed air.
a)

Add fly ash and expose the solution to solution to sunlight. Dilute the solution
and check for fluoride content to be within local pollution control limits (< 2
ppm). Later on the remnants are buried with mud.

b)

Alternatively the solution may be slowly pumped out with a 10-m3 pump into
the plant drain canals, flooding with raw water to limit fluoride content to less
than 2 ppm. A typical pollution control board requirement in India is given
below:

Nitrogen Capping

Nitrogen capping is done during operations to protect the freshly exposed metal
surfaces after pickling from being corroded due to exposure to atmospheric air,
upto neutralizing boil out.
A scheme of connections of N2 cylinders to the boiler system is shown in the
figure on page 13 of 13.
Required number of cylinders of suitable capacity is connected to the bus, which
in turn is connected to the drum air vents through a stop valve and a non-return
valve. In case the smaller cylinders are envisaged for the capping, 2 nos. of
manifold systems to accommodate 15 cylinders each connected through two nos.
of heavy duty regulators may be employed.

The stop valve in the Nitrogen line and the air vent valve nearer the drum are
kept open and the other air vent valve on drum is kept closed. All other air vents
in the system are kept closed to prevent ingress of air into the system. As the
dumping of the system starts nitrogen enters through the non-return valve into
the system and offers effective blanketing. When the system is completely
drained and filled with nitrogen, the stop valve in the nitrogen line shall be closed.
The pressure of nitrogen in the system is to be maintained slightly above
atmospheric pressure, say about 5-10 PSI control draining operation accordingly.
When the system is getting filled for next operation, the nitrogen in the system is
vented through the airline prevents entry of water or chemical solution to
nitrogen piping system.
3.04.06

controlled manner so that acid concentration as measured in the
sample from pump discharge does not exceed 6%. This sample is
to be collected at intervals of 10 minutes.

vii)

Total quantity of acid required to achieve acid concentration

of 4% in the circulating solution is to be added in one hour.
Simultaneously charge calculated quantity of ammonia bifluoride
into the mixing tank by several increments.

viii)

Collect sample from circulating solution, at an interval of 15

minutes, at the pump discharge and return line and analyze for
acid strength and iron concentration.

ix)

Stop circulation once three consecutive samples show

almost same values of acid and iron concentration of if the
circulation is done for maximum of 4 hours. (Total acid contact time
to be less than 6 hours).

x)

Drain the system under nitrogen blanket. Neutralize the

spent acidic solution with line, at convenience.

b)

D. M. Water Rinse
i)

On completion of draining of acidic solution, fill the system

with plain DM water and establish circulation.

ii)

Raise the temperature of water to 60-65[1] C and

circulate for one hour.

iii)

Collect samples from pump discharge and return line and

analyze for acid and iron concentration.

iv)
c)

Drain the system under nitrogen blanket.

Citric Acid Rinse

i)

On completion of draining, fill the system with DM water

and establish circulation.

ii)

Raise the temperature to 60-65C and add 0.2% W/v citric

acid monohydrate.

iii)

Add liquid ammonia to raise the pH of the solution to 3.5 to

4.0 and circulate for 2 hours.

iv)

HPO4 7H2O and 0.2% trisodium Phosphate Na3 PO4 12H2O and
maintain circulation for 6 hours.

iii)

Hot drain the system under atmospheric air by keeping the

drum vents open.

f)

Passivation
The objective of passivation is to prevent corrosion since the cleaned surfaces
are more susceptible for corrosion at a very fast rate. The corrosion is
prevented by providing a thin layer of magnetite (first stage), which gets
strengthened in the subsequent firing of the boiler (second stage).
i)

First Stage Passivation

The system is filled with DM water and adjust for circulation. The
temperature of water is raised and maintained at 85C by external steam
heating. PH of DM water is raised to 9.5 by adding ammonia and hydrazine
is charged to get a concentration of 200 ppm. The solution is left to
circulate for about 20 hours at a temperature of 90-95C. The hydrazine
concentration is maintained at 200 ppm through out the operation.
After 20 hours, the solution is drained hot from the system and left
aerated by natural draft.

ii)

Inspection of preparatory work for Second Stage

Passivation
The drum is inspected thoroughly and all loose debris cleaned manually.
Ring header hand hole pipe connections are removed and the header
cleaned with water. Ring header is to be inspected by bulb and mirror
arrangement or boroscope.
The super heater plugs and down comer orifice plates are removed and
drum internals are refitted. All the provisional equipments are dismantled
and original fittings and mounting are installed back. The boiler should be
prepared for regular operation, upon completion of hydraulic test at
working pressure.

iii)

Second Stage Passivation

The chemicals viz. Ammonia liquor, for raising the pH to 9.6 and
hydrazene, to get a concentration of 200 ppm are charged in the operating
feed water tank. The boiler is filled by feed pump upto normal operating
level in drum and lighted up with one or two oil burners. The steam
pressure in drum is gradually raised to 40 kg/cm and maintained at that
value. Water samples are taken from feed line to find out hydrazine
concentration and pH value. The boiler is kept in service for 24 hours
maintaining the hydrazine concentration not less than 20-25 ppm in feed
water.
At the end of the process, the boiler is boxed up and allowed for natural
cooling. At 1 or 2 kg/cm the superheater air vents are opened and at
about 90C (Drum temperature) the water in the system is drained and
the system is left aerated.
The second stage passivation marks the end of the chemical cleaning
process.
