Q.6
What is the function of boiler system in refinery?

Generation of steam for various process operations or applications and for heating
applications
Whatre Streams inlets the boiler?
BFW, Fuel, Combustion Air
Whatre Streams outlets the boiler?
Steam, Flue/Waste gas
Waste heat boiler is used?
Increase the steam temperature of super-heater
Pressure safety valve in boiler is used to?
Relieve pressure and prevent possible explosion of a boiler, prevents boiler
pressure from rising above the setting of the valve by relieving excessive steam
pressure, guarding against hazards of over pressure
PSV in boiler system?
Answer
Including various PSVs in boiler system to protect the system over the pressure
(something like this )

Lower
Superheating of steam is done at Increasing/ Decreasing/Constant pressure?
Constant pressure
The heat used to increase the temperature of saturated steam to superheated steam
through super-heater of boiler from?
Waste heat from flue gases
The basic purpose of super-heater is to increase the temperature of saturated steam
to superheated steam to:
Increase the thermal efficiency of

The basic purpose of steam drum in boiler is to

Separate 2 phases of boiler water
The purpose of economizer in a boiler?
Answer
Uses the waste heat from the flue gas of boiler that would otherwise be lost to
atmosphere to preheat the boiler feed water into the boiler. This improves the
boiler efficiency and reduces fuel costs.
Q. 13
The heat used to increase the temperature of boiler feed water through economizer
of boiler from:
Answer
Q. 14
Waste heat of flue gas

The largest heat loss from boilers are caused by
Answer
D. Dry flue gas

Q. 15
The purpose of de-aeration of boiler feed water is to
Answer
A. Remove dissolved gases

Q. 16
What is a benefit of boiler blow down control?
Answer
D. All of the above

Q. 17
Answer
Q. 18
Continuous blow down (CBD) flow is drained from

Steam drum
Intermittent blow down (IBD) flow is drained from
MUD drum
Q. 19
The purpose of Intermittent blow down (IBD) is

Remove solid participates that condense and lay on the bottom of a boiler
Q. 20
Answer
Q. 21
Answer
Q. 22
The purpose of Continuous blow down (CBD) is

Is to prevent the saturation of boiler water with dissolved solids
The important functions of steam traps are
-
Discharge of condensate as soon as it is formed

Negligible steam consumption
Discharging of air and other non-condensable gases
The minimum type of chemicals required to inject to boiler system:
Q. 23
Chemicals for controlling the pH of BFW (amin)

Chemicals for controlling the pH of BF and prevent the fouling (trisodium
photphate)
Oxygen scavengers (hydrazin)
When operator increases the load of boiler, should

Increase combustion air first, increase fuel later
Q. 24
When operator decreases the load of boiler, should

Decrease fuel first, decrease combustion air later
Q. 25
The boiler feed water pumps were tripped when

Low low level of water
Q. 26
Answer
Q. 27
Answer
Q. 28
The boiler was tripped when

-
Feed drum, Deaerator drum, steam drum at LL level

Pump trip
Boiler pressure too high
The pressure safety vale (PSV) will open (pop up) if

Pressure on the system over the set value
The probable cause of an increase temperature in the flue gas at the boiler outlet is
Fouling heat transfer surface/ poor fuel (Maybe correct anwser is ALL OF
THESE)
Q. 29
When steam consumption from users increases :

Pressure of steam network is low/ Fuel consumption increases
Q. 30
Which of the following statement is correct?
Q. 31
In normal operation, operating the boiler always :

Amount of air is excess
Q. 32
When one boiler feed water (BFW) pump was tripped:

Standby pump will start
Q. 33
When one boiler feed water (BFW) pump was tripped:

Standby pump will start
Q. 34
The purpose of main steam check valve on the steam line is to

To prevent reversal flow
Q. 35
Thermal efficiency of boiler was effected by

Fuel quality/ water quality
Q. 36
The quality of boiler feed water (BFW) is control by

pH/ Conductivity/ Silica content/ Oxygen content
Q. 37
Q. 38
Whats the root causes that make black smoke during normal operation the boiler?
Excess air is lower/ Slide damper of fore draft fan/ Status of fuel control valve/
Quality of fuel/ Automazing steam/plant air/ Boiler pressure controller/ pressure
master controller.
Q. 39
Possible causes lead to cant start up the pilot gas of boiler are?
Pressure of fuel to burners/ Flame detector of pilot / Burners start up buttons status
at local control panel/ quality of fuel/ Automazing steam/plant air
Q. 40
Possible causes lead to PH of Boiler Feed Water is lower required value is

Chemicals are not efficiently/ pH of LP is low/ pH of treated condensate is low/
pH of demin-water is low/ Lab test
Q. 41
Q. 42
Purpose of purging step during start up boiler is

Remove HC
Q. 43
If Excess air in flue gas of boiler increase that can made

Waste heat
Q. 44
Answer
Q. 45
The boiler feed water (BFW) from BFW pump will bring to
The steam boiler ( Or steam drum)
(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_feedwater_pump)
Possible causes lead to explosion boiler are
As seen today, boiler explosions are of two kinds.
-
Answer
One kind is a failure of the pressure parts of the steam and water sides.
There can be many different causes, such as failure of the safety valve,
corrosion of critical parts of the boiler, or low water level. Corrosion along
the edges of lap joints was a common cause of early boiler explosions.
The second kind is a fuel/air explosion in the furnace, which would more
properly be termed a firebox explosion. Firebox explosions in solid-fuelfired boilers are rare, but firebox explosions in gas or oil-fired boilers are
still a potential hazard.
(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_explosion)
Answer should be: neither high pressure at steam drum or fuel/air explosion in
the furnace
