REPORT
ON
CRH LINE HAMMERING
Planned Shutdown of unit was taken on 19/09/2008 at 23:31 hours to attend the problem ofNMEJ.
After attending the problem of NMEJ boiler was lighted up on 21/09/2008 at 17:53 hours.
On 21/09/2008 at 21:39 hours Drum Press=40ksc, MS Temp=287.7 Deg.C, HPBP warm upvalves were opened.
On 21/09/2008 at 21:44 hours HPBP valves (BP-1 & BP-2) were opened (first 5% then
10%, and then 15%). LPBP was in Auto and Auto Controller Interface was ON.
On analysis it was found that HPBP temperature set point was 0.0 Deg.C and HPBP pressureset point 48.2 KSC.
At 21:44 hrs both Spray valves (BPE-1 & BPE-2) went to Auto (since BP-1 & BP-2 wereopened by operator) and opened 100%. These valves remained at 100% for about 25 minuteswith BP-1 & BP-2 opened 5%-10%.
This has happened because temperature set point was 0.0 Deg.C. However this
remained unnoticed and there was heavy water ingress into CRH line.
At 22:09 hrs hammering sound heard from CRH line for about 10 minutes.
Boiler was hand tripped at 22:36 hrs
On inspection of CRH line, it was found that line had moved down by about 100mm.
Various supports on CRH line were twisted and broken or disturbed from their positions.
From Trend summary following data were noted down.

Special Notes:-
BHEL personnel had analyzed the trend data on 21/09/2008 at 22:30 hours
and taken printouts of trends at the time of hammering.However, on 22/09/2008 at 09:30 hours it was surprisingly found that all
trend data for the period 20/09/2008 (23:40 hrs) to 22/09/2008 (01:40 hrs)
was deleted. Therefore, above referred trends, which had been fortunately
saved earlier by BHEL personnel are now not available in system. This
indicates the intention (of customer) to hide essential data and impede
later analysis.
