PF TPP (Operations Desk Engr)

Job Purpose

To ensure safe & smooth TPP desk operation while start up- shutdown of boiler and turbine along with economic, uninterrupted and quality power generation by co-ordination with other agencies in the plant to rectify the abnormalities and report to Shift Incharge and SH operation. Ensuring Process optimisation, Handling of emergencies & Safe operation of boiler and turbine on most economic fuel mix efficiently.

Job Context & Major Challenges

Job Context : Thermal power plant consists of 1x35 MW and 1x22.5 MW total capacity 57.5MW, condensing type steam turbine with three uncontrolled extractions. Having two boiler Unit-1 CFBC type, multi fuel boiler having steam generation capacity of 170 TPH and Unit-2 AFBC type having steam capacity 110 TPH with working pressure -85 Kg/CM2. The auxiliaries system for steam turbine comprises of HP/LP heaters, high pressure boiler feed pumps having working pressure 95 Kg/CM2, and Air cooled condensers consisting of total 14 Nos. of forced draft fans for 2 units having dia. Of fan-9.5 Mtrs, Steam jet air ejectors, gland steam condensers, 02 Nos of Deaerator system etc. The design fuel for boiler is lignite. The approximate fuel consumption would be 900T/Day considering full load running of all two turbines. The fuel handling plant comprises of two stage screenig -Primary and secondary including hydraulic truck unloaded with various belt conveyors and associated equipments. The lime stone & ash handling system is of pneumatic type. The water treatment system consists of R O & D M plant. Wast water will be treated in waste water treatment plant. Auxiliary cooling water system with induced draft cooling towers and raw and fire water system. There are 08 nos. of screw air compressors with driers for pneumatic as well as instrument air requirement. The operation of entire TPP would be a challenge for all engineers with parallel operation of two units without greed (island moad).Also various fuels may be used in proportions which needs proper skills and continuous monitoring of operation with relative parameters. Also the Air cooled type condensers is a new technology which needs proper attention for efficient operation as it is changing with the quality of atmosphere air.

Major Challenges: Operation :

Maintaining maximum economic and quality power generation with respect to fluctuating power demand from the cement plant with Maintaining full loading, careful operations, avoiding wastages of steam, water, fuel, and auxiliary power for optimise the cost of generation inspite of no greed availibility.

Ensure the safe start up, operation & shutdown to minimise the delay & smooth functioning of all auxiliaries systems in context of high pressure & temperature parameters.

To run the boiler successfully on various (multi fuel) fuel mix such as Lignite, Mozambique, SAB, US & Petcock with maximum availability & without affecting the optimum boiler efficiency with maintaining parameters within specified limits.
