2.2 EQUIPMENTS APPLICABLE

The BED LANCES system consists of ten nos. of lances located five in front pant leg and five in
rear pant leg of the combustor, at the elevation just above the nozzle grate in the combustor. These
LANCES are capable of burning HFO with steam atomization as fuel.
Lances are used to increase the combustor temperature during the cold or hot start up beyond 595  C
up to lignite ignition temperature (>680  C).
Required no of lances can be put in service, and it is recommended to select the lances one by one and
also in opposite sides. Lances1, 3, 5 are located in front side and lance no. 2, 4 are located at rear side
of the Front pant leg.
Lances can be operated during load conditions also, if necessary, to maintain the combustor
temperature if requirement arises.

This Lances HFO system consists essentially of the following equipments / system.

3.4 Note
1. Similar operations are applicable for other bed lances with respective accessories and
its tag no. as per the selected bed lances. For the tag no of the selected lances,
wherever no. 81 meant for bed lance-1 to be changed as 82,83,84, & 85 for bed lances
2,3,4 & 5 respectively.
3. If the combustor temp. > 595 deg C any of the BED LANCES located in the relevant
pant leg can be started independently irrespective of SUB – I / II /III/IV is in operation or
not.
4. The Start cycle should be completed within 120 sec i.e., from Start PB pressed to
opening of BTV of selected Bed Lances.
5. Bed Lances start and stop sequence actions shall be done as per the indicated order
of sequence and also confirming the completion of previous action through feedback.
