required within the terminal points specified. 3.00.00 DESIGN AND OPERATING FEATURES 3.01.00 The system shall be designed for 100% condensate polishing for each 660 MW Unit

corresponding to the maximum mass flow rate established with VWO condition of turbine with suitable bypass arrangement plus maximum heat cycle make-up.

3.02.00 Each of the Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds shall be designed to handle maximum

fifty percent (50%) of the system design flow rate for 660 MW Unit as addressed above and to suit the system design pressure as well as temperature.

3.03.00 Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds making up the system of each of 2 x 660 MW Units

will be connected to the condensate cycle of respective units and will treat the entire flow. The Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds should be capable of operating without any prior filtration of the condensate.

3.04.00 When condensate temperature exceeds 50°C for a particular 660 MW Unit or bypass

pressure difference reaches 0.35 Mpa, the bypass valve shall be 100 % opened automatically and the inlet/outlet of the Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds shall be closed to protect elements and resins inside the polisher.

3.05.00 After the bypass valve is 100 % opened, the bypass valve shall be closed manually.

Before closing the bypass valve, one needs to ensure that two Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds of respective 660 MW Unit have been put into operation.

3.06.00 Pressure differential across a Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed may also be judged by

the flow value. When the flow of one Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed under service is less than that of the other, it indicates that pressure differential inside the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed with small flow is high and the resin inside it shall be regenerated.

3.07.00 The Bidder shall provide all instrumentations and controls to analyze the condensate as

per the requirements for safe and satisfactory operation of boiler. The system should be capable of producing the output characteristics which will be better than or equal to the specified conditions as prescribed by the Boiler Manufacturer or as specified elsewhere in this document whichever is more stringent. The system should be also capable of

VOL-II-C-SEC-VI - 6

DCPL-11Z02

monitoring and maintaining the characteristics during unit start up, load variations and condenser tube leakage.

3.08.00 Under condenser tube leakage condition, the CP System shall be designed for ingress

of TDS (2000 ppb minimum) in addition to the influent contaminants under Normal Condition as stated above. The cation and anion load distribution for 2000 ppb TDS shall be based on circulating cooling water composition.

3.09.00 Under the Normal Condition, each Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed shall be designed to

operate in hydrogen cycle for not less than 168 hours of continuous operation, while maintaining the above treated condensate quality. Useful service run between regenerations during the above conditions of start-up and condenser tube leakage, shall not be less than 50 hours.

3.10.00 The bed cross section shall be such that the average velocity of condensate through it

does not exceed 120 m/hour at the design flow rate. 3.11.00 At the design flow rate, the pressure drop between inlet and outlet flanges of the

polisher Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds with clean resin bed shall not exceed 2.0 bar. This pressure drop shall include losses due to entrance and exit nozzles, distributors, underdrains, resins and the effluent resin traps. Maximum pressure drop under dirty conditions will be restricted to about 3.5 bar including the pressure drop across effluent resin traps.

3.12.00 Exchange Resins

The Bidder shall provide suitable resins for the Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds, Mixed Resin Storage Vessel and Resin Makeup Hopper. The Cation resin shall be strong acid, with sulfonic acid functional group to the regenerated with Hydrochloric Acid. The anion resin shall be strong base, with quaternary ammonium (Type-I) functional group to be regenerated with Sodium Hydroxide. Insert resin, if used, shall be non-ionic compatible with the above resins. A minimum resin ratio of 1.5 to 1 (Cation: Anion) will be provided. After separation, anion resin in the Cation resin shall be less than 0.1 % and Cation resin in the anion resin shall be less than 0.1 %. Deration factor of 10% for all resins shall be considered while calculating the quantity of resin to be supplied.

The resins furnished shall be of Rohm and Hass/ Dowex/ Duolite make. The effective depth of the mixed resin bed in the condensate polisher Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds shall not be less than 1100 mm.

The resin strength and other physical properties shall be suitable to withstand the design pressures in the system.

The resins selected must have been in use in Condensate Polishing plants capable of producing water as specified or better, for a period of not less than three (3) years.

The resin charge shall consist of material properly selected, washed, processed and graded to provide the guaranteed capacity and life. The resin shall have adequate

VOL-II-C-SEC-VI - 7

DCPL-11Z02

abrasion resistance during its guaranteed life. The mixed bed exchangers shall contain a mixture of strong acid cation and strong base anion resins to remove the last traces of ions. The discharge of the mixed bed exchangers shall be neutral and demineralised. The mixed bed exchanger shall be designed as a single-chamber downstream filter with lower nozzle plate. The filter shall be filled with strong acid cation and strong basic anion resin. During the loading the resins shall be well mixed and have the effect of an endless chain of cation and anion exchangers. For the regeneration process, separate vessels shall be used.

3.13.00 Cation resins shall be regenerated by dilution of technical grade hydrochloric acid to

IS:265 (concentration 30-33% by volume) and anion resins by dilution of sodium hydroxide, rayon grade to IS:252 available as 48% lye. For calculations regeneration temperature should be taken as 25°C.

3.14.00 The regeneration process offered by the Bidder, shall be of proven design and shall

essentially be the same process for which the Bidder have experience and shall give proper resin separation method compatible with the desired treated water quality. The Bidder shall include inert resin in the system if it is felt that it helps in better resin separation.

In case, after separation of resins, if there are undesired contaminant resins, the Bidder shall provide a system either to eliminate this cross contamination of resins or to nullify the detrimental effect of entrapped resins to the effluent quality. There shall be a resin trap after each cation and mixed bed unit. If nozzles of cation exchanger shall be broken, no resin can get into the mixed bed exchanger. If nozzles of the mixed bed filter shall be broken, no resin can remove into the water steam circuit.

The guaranteed chemical consumption figures must be supported by relevant published data such as performance of the resin system, statistical data on resin losses and actual field performances of plants using a similar technique, indicating the quantity of chemicals required for regeneration, in particular, besides other parameters. The data on the chemical consumption figures and the calculations furnished by the Bidder shall be the primary basis of checking the guaranteed parameters during evaluation. The operating exchange capacity and regeneration levels shall be vetted by resin manufacturer and the Bidder must furnish the resin performance curves specially applicable for this project. Regeneration wastewater and the drain disposal of the bund of the chemical storage tanks shall be collected in the neutralization pit. Facility for addition of acid/alkali to neutralize the effluent shall also be provided. The neutralized effluent shall be finally disposed to the effluent waste water treatment plant by two neutralization pumps, each 100 % capacity (2 x 100 %).

Automatic bypass line shall be provided with a butterfly type control valve and wafer type butterfly isolation valves (resilient material seated, to ensure bubble-tight shut off) on the upstream and downstream sides of the control valve. In the event of excessive pressure differential between the condensate inlet and outlet headers, this control valve will open automatically to bypass requisite quantity of condensate to prevent this pressure differential from exceeding a preset limit when both Beds/one Bed/no Bed are/is in operation.

3.17.00 The control system shall be so designed that the Control valve is able to bypass 50% of

rated flow when any of the Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds is out of service and 100% of flow when both the Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds are out of service.

3.18.00 Under normal conditions, Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed will hold a complete charge

of freshly regenerated and mixed resin, ready for use. For regeneration, resin from the exhausted Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed will be transferred hydraulically. The empty Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed will then be filled up with already regenerated resin available in the regeneration facility. This Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed shall come into service soon after prerequisite condition is satisfied or as and when desired by the operator. In the meantime, the exhausted resin charge will be cleaned, separated, regenerated, mixed and rinsed before being stored for the next use.

3.19.00 The Bidder shall provide a hopper type tank for resin make-up, using water slurry, to the

condensate polishing systems. This make-up system will constitute a portion of the condensate polishing external regeneration system. The resin hopper shall have a conical bottom and a flat top.

This panel shall show the operating mode of each Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed (in service, on standby, resin transfer, rinsing down etc.) the position of all automatic valves, operating parameters (such as flow conductivity, silica levels, differential pressure etc.) and alarm conditions. A mimic diagram shall be provided on the front of the control panel. Status of various valves

Page 139: SWITCH YARD

CPCPL-Super Critical TPP-Tharangambadi [2 x 660 MW] Main Plant Package

VOL-II-C-SEC-VI - 10

DCPL-11Z02

shall be indicated by LED’s on the mimic diagram. Facility to control the CP System from the Main Control Room shall also be provided.

The control for the external regeneration system shall be from the PLC based Control Desk located in a separate Control Room at Regeneration Area. This shall clearly show the status of each concerned Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed. This Control Desk shall be interlocked with the local control panel of Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds. This Desk will provide a manually initiated automatic sequence for physical cleaning and chemical regeneration of the resins and show the status of the cycle at all times. This Desk shall also contain all controls and accessories for the acid and alkali solution preparation and dosing system. The regeneration control Desk shall also control the sequences of Resin Transfer – i.e. to transfer resin from the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed to the external regeneration facility and to receive freshly regenerated resin from the regeneration facility– this involves depressurization of the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed, water sluicing of exhausted resins to the regeneration system, draining the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed to the condenser hotwell, receiving a water slurry of fresh resin from the regeneration system and finally completely filling the vessel with condensate.

Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed Operation

Service flow rate for each Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed shall be monitored by panel mounted flow indicators. During periods of low condensate flow the operator may select to remove one of the vessels from service by a manually initiated automatic sequence. A differential pressure switch installed between the influent and effluent headers will on a high signal cause an annunciator alarm. By observing the individual vessel flow indicators, or conductivity at vessel outlet the operator can determine which vessel is contributing most to the pressure drop and is in need of resin cleaning/regeneration.

Panel mounted conductivity indicators shall monitor the polishing system influent and effluent streams as well as the discharge of each Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed. A high influent conductivity annunciator alarm will alert the plant operator that a problem condition such as air or condenser cooling water leakage has occurred. This conductivity analyzer shall also provide contacts for an alarm at the power station main control room. A high conductivity annunciator alarm on outlet of Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed will alert the operator to the need for regeneration of a Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed.

Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed shall be automatically placed in service following, manual pushbutton initiation from the control panel. The automatic sequence shall include steps for pressurization of the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed, a pre-service rinse and placing in service.

The pre-service rinse shall be time controlled. If the conductivity of the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed effluent is not acceptable at the end of the pre-service rise, a rinse overtime alarm shall be sounded and the pre-service rinse continued for a second timed period. If an acceptable Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed effluent is not reached by the end of the second pre-service rinse, a pre-service rinse failure alarm shall be sounded and the vessel shall be automatically returned to standby. If acceptable conductivity at outlet of Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed is attained at the end of the first rinse or during the second rinse, the vessel shall automatically be placed in service. Interlocks shall be provided to prevent placing a vessel into the service mode while resin is being transferred.

The rinse recycle shall be manually initiated full automatic sequence. This sequence shall include a rinse down step using condensate at a rate of 0.4 to 0.6 cu.m / min / sq.m until effluent quality is acceptable for boiler feed water. The effluent quality shall

Page 140: SWITCH YARD

CPCPL-Super Critical TPP-Tharangambadi [2 x 660 MW] Main Plant Package

VOL-II-C-SEC-VI - 11

DCPL-11Z02

be determined by conductivity monitoring of the rinse water outlet, which is for recycle. A panel mounted conductivity indicator shall be interlocked to prevent advancing of the automatic sequence until the rinse down is complete.

Condensate Polisher Mixed Beds shall be automatically removed from service following manual push button initiation from the control panel.

Exhaustion of a Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed shall be annunciated by any of the following:

a) High differential pressure across the polisher battery.

b) High effluent conductivity from an operating vessel.

c) High effluent silica from an operating vessel.

d) Pre-set volume of condensate treated in an operating vessel. When the differential pressure across the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed header reaches the high set point level an alarm shall sound and by pass valve shall be automatically opened by a signal from the control system. The sample system for a Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed shall be taken out of service when the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed is not in service or pre-service rinse.

The alarms for a Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed shall be disabled when the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed is not in service or pre-service rinse.

Resin Transfer Mode

The sequence for resin Transfer from Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed to Regeneration Vessel and Resin Transfer from Regeneration Vessel to Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed shall be initiated from the condensate polishing unit control panel but shall be controlled by the programmable logic controller in the Regeneration control panel.

Manually initiated automatic sequences shall be provided for transferring resin from a Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed to the remote regeneration facility for physical cleaning and chemical regeneration and for returning fresh resin to that Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed.

The transfer of resin from the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed shall include isolation of the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed, hydraulic transfer of the resin to the external regeneration. The return of fresh resin to the empty Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed shall include the hydraulic transfer from the resin storage vessel of the external regeneration system using demineralized water. After receiving fresh resin the Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed will remain in the ‘Off’ position until returned to service by the operator. Resin transfer from a Condensate Polisher Mixed Bed to the regeneration vessel shall be automatic following manual pushbutton initiation from the control panel. The resin transfer sequence shall be interlocked to prevent resin transfer in any of the following situations:

a) Unsuccessful completion of a previous chemical regeneration of physical

cleaning sequence in the external regeneration system.

Technical requirements of the condenser On Line Tube Cleaning System

have been indicated in the "Data Sheet" in Annexure-I of this specification. In case of any contradiction between the above standards and data sheets, the stipulations in the data sheet shall prevail and shall be binding on the Contractor.

2.01.00 General Description

For maintenance of degree of cleanliness of the condenser tubes, this on load ball re-circulation type tube cleaning system and debris filters at CW inlet line to condenser will be employed. The on line condenser tube cleaning system shall maintain a circulation of resilient balls in a closed loop through the condenser tubes. Thus, while passing through the tubes, the balls get deformed thereby cleaning the inner surface of the tubes. The balls will be injected at the C.W. inlet pipe by ball recirculation pumps, which subsequently will be distributed evenly throughout the cross-section of the condenser tube sheet to effect uniform cleaning of tubes. The balls after passing through the tubes will be taken out of the C.W. outlet pipes. The balls are then led to the C.W. inlet pipe once again for recirculation.

the performance shall be checked again after the corrections are carried out. If even after carrying out corrections in the system, the performance is not satisfactory, then the plant stands rejected.

3.02.04 During trial operation the cleanliness factor shall be calculated on the basis of

the ratio of the heat transfer rate obtained with the tube cleaning system in service for 12 months and the available Heat transfer rate at the time of commissioning (condenser tubes at 100% clean condition) of the system with similar ambient temperature conditions.

Heat Transfer rate will be calculated as per the standard formula for the

steam surface condenser and it will be denoted by Uf . . The operation of this system may be continuous/intermittent as mutually

decided by the Employer and the contractor. On completion of 12 months operation of online condenser tube cleaning system when the ambient conditions will be more or less similar to conditions as at the time of commissioning of the system, the heat transmission rate will be calculated and will be denoted by Uo.

The ratio of Uo/Uf will be calculated for the cleanliness factor Cf. The plant

stands rejected in the Cf is observed to be less than 85%. 3.02.05 The performance guarantee test shall be conducted by the Employer in

presence of the contractor immediately after completion of guarantee period but in any case not later than 6 weeks after the expiry of guarantee period. The schedule for taking the performance guarantee test shall be mutually agreed between the Employer and the contractor.
