Commissioning Experience

Classification of commissioning experience

Operational Problems

Linear Fresnel Reflector

Receiver tube leakage of the LFR system

Receiver Tube leakage

• Operating Pressure: 40 kg/cm2 (g) saturated steam pressure • Hydro test Pressure: 120 kg/cm2 (g) • Leakages were found in 12 welding joints during hot commissioning

Leakage in the receiver tube

Equipment Problems

Leakages in instrument stub connections on heat exchanger

Temperature Transmitters showing Leakages

Leakage from Screwed connection

Temperature Transmitters with sealant

• Vapor pressure of Therminol VP 1 at 257°C is 1 bar (a) • Ignition temperature of Therminol VP 1 is 621°C• No screw joints and minimum flanged connections

Summary and Lesson Learnt• Operational Problem – Time consuming, delay in commissioning

Leakages in superheater: Torque spanner Receiver tube and window glass: Spot Welding, Continuous power Water Entry in IA line: NRV Dry run of the BFP: Level Switches

• Equipment problems – Good engineering practise NRV Selection: Horizontal & Vertical line Instrument Stub: No threaded parts Compressed air line: No threaded joints Communication failure: Preconsidered Steam Valves: Control, Manual handle, Station

Summary and Lesson Learnt

• System Problem HTF Freezing: Unfreezes only in summer.UPS and Tracker failure: Continuous Power

Steam Leakage

Water entry in instrumentation air line

•Compressed air required in the Demineralisation plant (DM) in mixed bed unit• No NRV in IA line• DM water entered into the airline•4 control valve damaged

Dry run of the boiler feed pump

• Malfunction of Level transmitter on the Deaerator led to dry of pump
