Standard Technical Features of BTG System for Supercritical 660/800 MW Thermal Units

ii) The enclosure integral with boiler (except air heaters) shall be formed by
water/steam cooled tubes on all the four sides, roof and bottom. The
furnace water walls shall be formed using either spiral (helical) wound
tubes or vertical plain/rifled tubes. The roof of single pass/tower type
boilers could be formed by gas tight metal sheeting of appropriate
material.

iii) The enclosure shall be formed using welded wall construction only.
Where use of refractory is unavoidable, 4mm thick steel plate behind
refractory shall be provided to form enclosure.

iv) Any penetration(s) into the steam generator enclosure shall be sealed for
gas tight integrity.

v) The Steam generator enclosure shall be provided with:

a) Air cooled observation ports for each oil/coal burner and at various
platform levels on all the walls.
b) Openings with hinged doors (air/gas tight) in all areas needing access
for internal observation/maintenance. Minimum two openings for
each area shall be provided.
c) Approach platform for each observation port/opening alongwith
ladders from nearest platform level.
d) Seal plates of stainless steel (type 430) or better corrosion and
erosion resistant steel material of minimum 6 mm thickness, all
round the furnace bottom, to prevent ingress of air.

vi) Dissimilar metal welds (DMW) between martensitic and austenitic

steels, martensitic and ferrite steel shall be avoided inside the boiler
enclosure for the pressure parts, which are exposed to hot flue gases.
However, if such DMW are unavoidable, same can be permitted at shop
provided manufacturer has previous experience of such DMW and
appropriate heat treatment is done after welding.

vii) In the steam generator enclosure, minimum 1.5 m cavity height shall be
provided in between the horizontal banks/ sections of economizer,
superheater and reheaters for maintenance purpose.

viii) No ingress of air from any opening like bottom hopper, soot blower, any
manhole or peep hole, ducts etc. shall be considered for sizing of
secondary and primary air fans while the same shall be considered for
performance predictions.

ix) Steam generator casing/pent house (as applicable) shall be provided. The
casing/pent house design shall ensure:
a) Complete enclosure of steam generator including superheater,
reheater & economizer headers.
