and warmed up keeping the drains open. (Firstly suction side
between tank & pump suction. Then discharge side from pump
discharge to ring header.)
After proper charging blow is given for 20-30 minutes.
Steam at a pressure of 10-12 Kg/cm2 and having a superheat
of at least 500C at source is used for blowing.
The line is allowed to cool for two hours and then again
blown.
Blowing of drains, vents and instrument tapping points is done
at 5 Kg/cm2 for 10 minutes each.
Blowing of steam tracing lines and condensate lines is done at
6 Kg/cm2 for 20-30 minute each.
Drains / vents of F.O. lines are kept open as required during
steam blowing and thereafter for draining of condensate.
Steam blowing is declared complete based on Completion
criteria.
After sufficient cooling the pipings are dried with compressed
air.
After completion of steam blowing, all spool pieces are
removed and Trip valves, control valves, flow elements, filter
elements and NRV internals are restored / normalized. Pipe
connections to LDO / HFO pumps are normalized and pumps
are commissioned.
NOTE: During the cooling period of one section of pipeline
other section, as per convenience, can be steam blown.
9.2 Oil Flushing of LDO Lines
LDO Pump is started and the line flushed for minimum 24
hours. Temporary filter in the return line and Pump suction
filters are taken out and cleaned as and when required.
Frequency of strainer cleaning is to be decided jointly by
