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

2. Short rotary, multiple nozzle,

retractable type for low temperature
zones.
c) Air-preheaters Power driven swinging arms soot blower,
or retractable multi-nozzle soot blowers.
ii) Soot blowing system shall be:
a) capable of effectively removing deposited ash from steam generator
heat transfer surfaces with on- load cleaning devices. The soot
blower design shall be of self draining type.
b) fully automatic & sequentially controlled through SG C&I control
system. Alternately, a SMART Soot Blowing system based on heat
flux sensors and flue gas exit temperature may be implemented with
a fall back to sequential control, if required.

iii) The design of air-heater soot blowing system including piping, valves &
fittings shall allow use of high temperature steam from high temperature
auxiliary steam header during start-up. A check valve and/or motor
operated valve shall be provided on this high temperature line to prevent
normal soot blowing steam from entering auxiliary steam header. In case
soot blowing steam is required at parameters other than those available
from auxiliary steam system, for the purpose of efficient soot blowing
during start-up and other loads, a permanent arrangement shall be
provided for the same.

iv) Soot blower elements shall be made of extra heavy seamless tubing from
solid bars with heat, corrosion & erosion protection in permanent contact
with hot gases. The Blowing element shall be of high temperature alloy
steel.

v) Retractable soot blowers (RSB) shall be retractable even during

emergencies such as drop in steam supply pressure, low steam flow, etc.
Long retractable soot blowers (LRSBs) shall be half of steam generator
width on each side. Double helix cleaning pattern shall be used. Dual
electric drives, one for rotary and other for linear motion shall be
provided for each soot blower. Alternatively, soot blower design having
both linear as well as rotary motion achieved through single drive motor
shall also be acceptable.

vi) All soot blowers shall be suitable for local and remote automatic
sequential operation.

6.5.11 Walkways, platforms and stairs

i) Access platforms, walkways, handrails, stairs, ladders and gratings etc.

for proper approach during maintenance shall be provided for steam
generator, all auxiliaries, equipments and accessories. Walkways,
