KT MEET
1) Inspection of SH and RH headers to be carried out before
COD, preferably before steam blowing in new units.
2) In older units also, all headers of SH and RH to be
inspected once for any foreign material/debris.
3) Boiler chemistry parameters to be strictly maintained as
per OD issued from CC-OS.
4) Identification of tube leakage in RH by vacuum pulling to
be stopped. Tube leakage in RH to be identified by
pressurizing RH with air. Schemes for air pressurization to
be made.
5) Thruness of SH/RH circuit where tube is being replaced, to
be checked by sponge ball test during OH and in case of
tube failure due to overheating or failure inside
penthouse. In case of other failures, thruness of bottom
bend to be checked by removing bend from position.
6) Standardization of specifications for procurement of
Grinding elements of tube mills.
