TABLE OF CONTENTS
1.0 OVERVIEW
The Lontar project is a supercritical coal fired boiler and steam turbine generator (STG) rated
for 315 MW. The boiler is provided approximately 890,000 kg/hr of High-Pressure Steam to
the STG at 25,000 kPa and 582°C, and 735,000 kg/hr of Hot Reheat Steam at 4900 kPa and
600°C.
The Lontar project steam blow will include the blows as described below.
Due to project scheduling needs and equipment commissioning sequences, all of the
“Auxiliary Steam” blows will be performed before the primary flow path steam blows (Main
Steam, Cold Reheat, Hot Reheat.)
Quench water is mentioned in the procedure below, but it is optional and may only be used if
required for noise abatement.
A silencer is anticipated for use during the primary cycle piping blows but may or may not be
used for the Auxiliary Steam piping blows.
(Refer to Section 8 for the marked-up P&ID’s outlining the specific blow paths):
The Main Steam (LBA), Cold Reheat (LBC), and Hot Reheat (LBB) pipelines will be
targeted steam blows and the acceptance criteria shall be in accordance with Section
5. There will be temporary piping use between these systems, including a Temporary
Steam Blow (TSB) valve, main target inserter, quench water supply (if necessary), and
a silencer.
During the temporary steam blow operations, all drip leg drains in these permanent
systems will be fitted with temporary drain piping. The temporary piping will be
connected to the drip leg cap and field routed to a safe location to remove condensate
that collects in the pipeline during the steam blowing operations.
These four (4) piping configurations will use a steam-cyclic pressure blowout method
consisting generally of the following:
Note: Initial blows will be started with a low boiler pressure, gradually building up to
the pressure required to achieve the proper Disturbance Factor. The above cycle is

repeated until the target bars placed in the blowout piping comply with the
Acceptance Criteria defined in Section 5.
Note: It is not anticipated, but the Auxiliary Boiler will be available if needed
to provide steam to the reheater for cooling during this piping configuration.
1.1.2 Main Boiler #B: Main Steam Bypass Inlet and Outlet piping
A steam cyclic blow from the boiler superheater outlets through the main
steam HP Bypass Valve via a “blow-through kit” and cold reheat piping
(reverse flow from normal operation) will be a non-targeted steam blow.
Note, the subject blow-through kit for the HP Bypass Valve will not permit a
cleaning factor greater than 1, so prior to this blow, and possibly during the
construction and assembly of this pipeline, means must employed to pre-
clean this pipe either by manual cleaning methods followed by clean
assembly methods.
1.1.3 Main Boiler #C-1: Cold Reheat / Reheater / Hot Reheat / LP Bypass
A steam cyclic blow from the boiler superheater outlets through the main
steam piping, cold reheat piping, the boiler reheater, the hot reheat piping,
and in parallel through the LP Bypass valve via a “blow-out kit” will be a non-
targeted steam blow. The general steam blow path is as follows:
CF = m2 / [ 2 A (den)]
Where,
This equation shows that the Cleaning Force in a pipe section is dependent on the steam mass
flowrate, steam density, and pipe cross sectional area. The goal of a steam blow is to generate
a steam flow condition during steam blow which has a larger Cleaning Force than the
Reference Condition. The Reference Condition is defined as the cleaning effect experienced
during plant full load operating conditions. The ratio of these two forces is called the
“Disturbance Factor,” which is defined as follows:
DF = CFsb / CFrc
Where,
DF = Disturbance Factor
Targeted steam blows must have a Disturbance Factor equal to or greater than 1.05 in all
permanent steam piping.
3.0 SAFETY
The following safety items shall be followed:
1. Prior to the start of steam blows, the Commissioning Manager or his designee shall
walk down all systems to assure all piping and supports, flow paths, equipment
scaffolding, barricades, and target bar inserter are complete and ready for steam
blows. All safety issues found must be resolved prior to the start of the blows.
2. All exposed temporary steam lines will be insulated with blankets or barricaded off
for personnel protection and anchored properly.
3. The steam blow exhaust path will be cleared of nonpermanent structures, vehicles,
materials and personnel. Inspect the areas of the permanent and temporary steam
blow piping and clean any wood, oil, or other flammable material out of the area.
Access to this area shall be limited.
4. The Local Governing Body will be informed that the sound levels are temporary and
do not reflect typical facility noise levels.
5. The plant Lockout/Tagout procedure shall be followed for valve lineups and flow
paths.
6. All boiler manufacturers recommended operating procedures shall be followed during
the steam blows.
7. Hearing protection is required near all steam piping during the blows. Warning signs
noting the high noise levels shall be placed in areas around the temporary piping tie-
in points and all steam exit points.
8. Commissioning and operations personnel shall have radio communications with the
control room throughout the blows.
9. All personnel working in the vicinity of the steam blows shall receive a safety
orientation regarding the steam blows and associated hazards.
10. No unauthorized personnel shall be permitted in the vicinity of the temporary steam
piping and exhausters during the blows.
During steam blow, the steam flow paths to the steam turbine will be isolated from the steam
turbine such that the turbine cannot be rolled off. The main steam supply will be physically
isolated from the stop valves, the hot reheat will be physically isolated from the reheat stop
valves and the cold reheat will be isolated from the turbine exhaust.
4.0 PREREQUISITES
The following systems are needed for steam blow and should be operational with alarms,
interlocks and protective devices functional.
Construction TOP/BAPPK will be reviewed and issued including partials for the following
systems
Service Blow These criteria shall apply to vents, drains, auxiliary systems, and any pipe not
specifically identified as requiring a Target Blow.
Blow the piping until the steam plume/drain is visibly clear of debris. Visually inspect the
permanent and temporary piping for abnormal expansion levels.
Target Blow These criteria and/or the Steam Turbine Manufacturer’s criteria shall apply to all
sections being steam blown that are targeted and require certification. In the case of a
conflict between the two criteria, the more stringent of the two will be applied.
Blow the pipe until the steam plume is free of visible dirt and debris. The Disturbance Factor
during this steam blow period shall equal or exceed 1.05 unless limited by boiler restrictions.
Targets may be inserted at any time once the plume has cleared. A minimum of 2 consecutive
acceptable targets shall be taken for each steam blow. The final acceptance target must be
inserted after a minimum 3hour time period has passed. Successful completion of a target
steam blow shall be witnessed and signed off by the Startup Manager, the Toshiba or Siemens
TA, and the Owner.
The target bar shall be fabricated of brass polished to a surface texture R max. 6.3 µ. The target
bar area subject to inspection shall be 30 mm in width and middle 85% of the internal pipe
diameter. The target shall remain in the steam flow path for 10 minutes.
A target bar shall be judged acceptable if the following criteria are met.
Cleanliness criteria for the main Turbine are listed in Toshiba document SPC- GMH-XILT4-
0003.
Cleanliness criteria for the Boiler Feed Pump Turbines are listed in Siemens document
2CWN002896.
6.0 PREPARATIONS

7.0 PROCEDURE
7.1 Overall Steam Blow Sequence:
Main Boiler #A: Main Steam (targeted)
Main Boiler #B: Main Steam Bypass and Cold Reheat (targeted)
Main Boiler #C: Cold Reheat / Reheater / Hot Reheat / LP Bypass (targeted)
The calculated steam blow flow rates, pressures, temperatures, CFR’s, and boiler
operating conditions required for the steam and service blows are provided in Table 1
and Table 2 in Section 8 References.
The tables should be referred to during the steam blow process to assist in determining
the Disturbance Factor. The Cleaning Force Charts provided in the tables are based on
temporary pipe configurations and boiler steam production capabilities. Since the
boiler performance may be different than the design basis of this procedure, the
achievement of Disturbance Factors greater than 1.05 may occur at different boiler
loads than indicated.
Refer to the Steam Blow Acceptance Sheets in the Appendix for details of final
acceptance.
7.4.1 Limitations:
Operation during the steam blow process should be monitored closely to
ensure that the original equipment manufacturer’s operating procedures are
followed and no operational limits are exceeded. Prior to conducting this
steam blow, the references identified in this procedure should be carefully
reviewed. Listed here are some, but not all, equipment and project
limitations that shall be followed:
For main steam and reheat blows, the condensate system shall be
configured with one condensate pump, the condensate polisher and the
gland steam condenser in service. LP Heaters 5, 6, 7 and 8 and the Drain
Cooler shall be bypassed. The LP System Bypass Desuperheater Sprays,
Auxiliary Steam System Attemperator Sprays, and Generator Cooling Water
Supplemental Supply shall be isolated. Instrumentation and controls
associated with the in service condensate components shall also be in
service. Normal operating procedures shall be followed for the in service
components.
The feedwater system shall be configured with one boiler feed pump and
associated strainers in service. HP Heaters 1, 2 and 3 shall be bypassed. The
HP Attemperators, Reheat Desuperheaters, Water Collecting Tank and
associated instrumentation shall be in service. Instrumentation and controls
associated with the in service feedwater components shall also be in service.
Normal operating procedures shall be followed for the in service
components.
Reheater: The Auxiliary boiler will supply cooling steam to the reheater via the
Cold Reheat piping, and will vent through the boiler vent valves
and/or drains in the HRH piping
7.5.1 Instrumentation
Instrumentation to be used for calculating the Disturbance Factors in the HP
steam piping.
Pressure: 40LBA60CP001 (HP Superheater Outlet pressure
transmitter) Temperature: 40LBA60CT001 (HP Superheater Outlet
temperature transmitter)
Flow: 40LAB50CF601 (Economizer Inlet flow transmitter)
7.5.2 Procedure
The HP Steam blow will consist of cyclic pressure targeted blows.
Initially, the boiler will be fired with the TSB gate valve closed and the warm
up valves open to the silencer. During this period, all of the drip legs and low
point drains in the system will be opened to purge any condensate.
Once the system has reached 150°C, the warm up valves will be closed and
the boiler temperature and pressure allowed to build up to those specified
in Table 1.
Once the boiler conditions reach the Initial Cleaning Steam Conditions
specified in Table 1, the TSB valve is opened as quickly as possible to blow
steam through the main steam blow path to the silencer.
Continue blowing until either the pressure drops below the Final Cleaning
Steam Conditions or the water level drops below the sight glass in the
collection tank, then close the TSB valve and repeat the process of Firing to
the Initial Cleaning Steam Conditions, then blowing to atmosphere.
When the steam blow plume is clear of visible dirt and debris, generally after
10 to 15 blows, begin inserting targets into the blow path to monitor the
pipe cleanliness.
Once the target conditions meet the Acceptance Criteria outlined in Section
5.0, pull the boiler fire and allow the temporary piping to cool, then
reconfigure the piping and blinds in the temporary piping to perform the
HP Bypass piping blows.
Reheater: Cooling steam for the reheater during HP Bypass blows will be
provided from the Main Steam circuit through the bypass valve and
will vent through the boiler vent valves and/or drains in the HRH
piping.
7.6.1 Instrumentation
7.6.2 Procedure
The HP Bypass and CRH blow will consist of continuous pressure service
blows.
Initially, the boiler will be fired with the TSB valve closed and the warm up
valves open to the silencer. During this period, all of the drip legs and low
point drains in the system will be opened to purge any condensate.
Once the system has reached the 150°C, the warm up valves will be closed
and the boiler temperature and pressure allowed to build up to the Initial
Cleaning Steam Conditions specified in Table 1. Care must be taken to avoid
building up pressure higher than the Cold Reheat piping design pressure.
Once the boiler conditions reach the Initial Cleaning Steam Conditions
specified in Table 1, the TSB valve is opened as quickly as possible to blow
steam through the cold reheat steam blow path to the silencer.
Continue blowing until either the pressure drops below the Final Cleaning
Steam Conditions or the water level drops below the sight glass in the
collection tank, then close the TSB valve and repeat the process of firing up
to the Initial Cleaning Steam Conditions, then blowing to atmosphere.
When the steam blow plume is clear of visible dirt and debris, pull the boiler
fire and allow the temporary piping to cool, then reconfigure the blinds in
the temporary piping to perform the HRH blows.
7.7 Main Boiler #C: Cold Reheat / Reheater / Hot Reheat / LP Bypass
Pipe Cleaned: Cold Reheat Piping / Reheater / Hot Reheat Piping / LP Bypass
(Target Blow).
7.7.1 Instrumentation
Instrumentation to be used for calculating the Disturbance Factor through
the reheater and piping.
Pressure: 40LBB60CP001 (HRH Outlet pressure transmitter)
Temperature: 40LBB60CT601 (HP Superheater Outlet temperature
transmitter)
Flow: 40LAB50CF601 (Economize Inlet flow transmitter)
7.7.2 Procedure
The HRH/CRH blow will consist of cyclic pressure targeted blows.
Initially, the boiler will be fired with the TSB gate valve closed and the warm
up valves open to the silencer. During this period, all of the drip legs and low
point drains in the system will be opened to purge any condensate.
Once the system has reached 150 °C, the warm up valves will be closed and
the boiler temperature and pressure allowed to build up to those specified
in Table 1.
Once the boiler conditions reach the Initial Cleaning Steam Conditions
specified in Table 1, the TSB valve is opened as quickly as possible to blow
steam through the hot reheat steam blow path to the silencer.
Continue blowing until either the pressure drops below the Final Cleaning
Steam Conditions or the water level drops below the sight glass in the
collection tank, then close the TSB valve and repeat the process of firing to
the Initial Cleaning Steam Conditions, then blowing to atmosphere.
During the initial (non-targeted) blows, the temporary piping from the LP
Bypass valve will be open allowing the piping from the HRH main header to
the LP Bypass valve inlet to be cleaned.
When the steam blow plume is clear of visible dirt and debris, allow the
piping to cool down, and insert a spectacle blind in the temporary piping
from the LP Bypass valve blowout kit nozzle.
Once the spectacle blind is installed blocking the steam pathway to the LP
Bypass valve, restart the boiler and begin inserting targets into the blow
path to monitor the pipe cleanliness.
Note that since the Hot Reheat circuit encompasses the normal steam path
(i.e. Main Steam, Cold Reheat, Reheater, and Hot Reheat), and thermal
cooldown will be performed between circuits to reconfigure temporary
piping blinds, the cooldown is required only for the Hot Reheat circuit.
