Requirement of Clean-up Operation

 Supercritical units have once through boilers without the drum and therefore blowing
out of impurities (silica, iron etc.) is not possible.

 Stringent Feedwater quality requirements are to be met to prevent possibilities of

concentration and deposition of impurities on boiler tubes inner surface impeding heat
transfer which ultimately results into tube failures.

 To meet the Feedwater quality requirements pre-boiler and boiler system undergoes
the clean up operation during start up.

 Basic purpose of start-up clean-up is to reduce the Turbidity, iron, silica, cation
conductivity & oxygen contents in feed water & finally in steam.

Clean-up Operation

Clean-up Blow Clean-up Recirculation

- Water is blown out to drain - Water is circulated back to

until required water quality is condenser via CPU until
achieved required water quality is
achieved
- Adequate quantity of water is
required for hotwell make-up - Make-up is not required

Prerequisites for Start-up clean-up
 CW and ACW system

 CCW system

 Turbine oil system

 Condenser Vacuum Pumps

 CST & DM water storage tank

 Gen seal oil system
