On day one we got the work permit to open the manholes and gates of
the HRSG compartments to let it cool down for a day or two.
After opening and cooling of the manholes, The inside of the HRSG was
inspected for any hotspots and insulation damage.
Scaffolding was installed to reach the upper joints where hotspots were
detected. Carbon steel plates were installed and welded at these
locations.
Furthermore, Non destructive testing of the welds was done with the
help of Dye Penetrant testing and Magnetic Particle Inspection to make
sure there are no cracks, pinholes of damage to the welded portion.
After the HRSG manholes were opened and cooled for about two days,
We started NDT of the pipes installed at the bottom of the HRSG.
After the boiler drums, HP, IP and Feedwater drums were opened and
cooled, they were thoroughly inspected visually for any damage.
Furthermore, DPT and MPI were done to find any cracks, pinholes or
any damage on the welded joints.
There was a crack and a missing piece found inside the surface of the
Feedwater drum. Due to the darkness inside the drum, no picture could
be taken. That crack has now been repaired by installing a carbon
steel sheet and welding it to the sides. Furthermore, DNT was
performed by third party to ensure there are no cracks, pinholes or any
damage on the welded joints.
A crack was found of 5mm inside the surface of IBT of HRSG 2. It has
been claimed but is yet to be repaired. Furthermore, a transmitted was
removed and installed at a lower location on the IBT.
A 13mm crack was found inside the surface of CBT. It is yet to be
repaired.
