NOMALISATION PROCEDURE FOR
UNIT-1/2 DT: 08.01.2013
STAGE-1 UNITS
A PURPOSE
This document is prepared to guide the operating personnel while isolating and
normalizing TDBFP in stage-1 units.
B SCOPE
This is applicable to all the 2 units of stage-1 (2X500 MW units),TSTPS- Kaniha.

C INTRODUCTION
To cater the feeder water requirement of the boiler three boiler feed pumps (BFPs)
have been provided. Two of them are turbine driven (TD) and one is motor driven
(MD). During normal operation both TDBFPs remain in service and MDBFP remains
as standby on auto. MDBFP is generally used during unit start up or shut down, low
load operation of the plant or emergency situations. This document will deal with total
isolation and normalization procedure of TDBFPs.

F ISOLSTION PROCEDURE

F-1 PRECONDITON
1. After pump stopping of TDBFP ensure decoupling of main pump from turbine at
around speed of 180-200 rpm.
2. Put turbine on barring once the turbine got standstill.
3. After stopping of TDBFP ensure standby condenser vacuum pump is kept available to
take care of the vacuum drop due to isolation of TDBFP.
F-2 TURBINE SIDE ISOLATION
1. Close LP steam manual isolation valve & its IBV.
2. Close HP steam-CRH man isolation valve and its IBV manually and auxiliary steam
MOT isolation from UCB (Normally it remain closed with power supply off)
3. Open the vent valve at 17M of LP steam line and HP steam line. Check for the
manual valves before the motorized vent valves are open.
4. Check for BFPT CRH/AUX steam pressure (HP steam and LP steam pressure).
These should be zero. If not coming to zero check for IBV and further tighten them.
5. Close TDBFP exhaust v/v. (Bypass v/v for exhaust valve to be kept in open condition
for cooling). Close gland steam isolation valve, tighten it manually (P/S of MOV to be
kept OFF) and close its manual isolation valve (at return header).To be done one hour

the barring, suction v/v & suction relief isolation v/v to be closed and wait for pump
top/bottom casing temp to come down. Check booster pump suction pressure is not
increasing if so first open suction v/v and then tighten discharge v/v and its IBV.
10. With suction v/v closed when main main pump top/bottom casing temp comes down
to1100C pump draining to be started.
11. Open RH spray line vent and see the suction pressure coming to zero.
12. Pump can be drained by opening the
a. Drain in the R/C line before C.C to drain main pump and its discharge line.
b. Horizontal strainer drain to drain inter connecting pipe between booster pump
discharge and main pump suction
c. Booster pump drain/ Booster suction strainer drain to drain the suction line of
booster pump/ booster
F-4 LUBE OIL SYSTEM ISOLATION
1. Ensure Turbine barring gear is stopped and pump is drained.
2. Lube oil system to be stopped when all the turbine/pump side bearing temperature
come down to 450C. Isolate P/S of AOP 1&2 and DCEOP.
3. Isolate power supply of disconnect coupling motor.
4. TDBFP oil tank vapor extractor fan(one may be kept in service if no PTW is asked on
tank on pumps or VEFs.

G TO ATTEND MAIN PUMP NDE MECH SEAL LEAKAGE

1. Do isolations 1-8 of F-2 and 1-6 of F-3 as per above procedure.
2. Close the suction v/v when the main pump top / bottom casing temp comes down to

higher side (>120°C).
4. Decouple the booster pump coupling (To be done by TMD) as Turbine to be again put
on barring & pump to be drained for attending leakage.
5. Stop the lube oil pump.
6. Blank the NDE side oil supply and return line.( To be done by TMD)
