2.0 Once-Through Technology
Technical Session I Technical Session I
Introduction
When Mark Benson registered the patent for "production of steam at any pressure" in 1922, he had no way
of knowing that one day one of the most frequently constructed once-through boilers in the world would be based on his idea.
Today's BENSON boiler, as the result of numerous innovations and many years' experience,
has become a high-reliability power plant component.
As licensor for BENSON boilers (once-through steam generators), Siemens has a wealth of experience in this field.
The Siemens know-how is supplemented by a continuous exchange of experience with licensees and owner/operators
around the world. To date more than 1000 units incorporating this type of steam generator have been built.
Principles of once-through technology
Evaporator Systems
Evaporator systems can essentially be divided into in systems with constant and systems with variable evaporation endpoints:
Systems with constant evaporation endpoint.
A typical example of this system is the drum-type steam generator. Natural circulation is produced by heating
of the risers. The water/steam mixture leaving the risers is separated into water and steam in the drum.
The steam flows into the superheater, and the water is returned to the evaporator inlet through downcomers.
If the system is operated only with natural circulation, the application range is limited to a maximum drum pressure of appr.
190 bar. If a circulating pump is used (so called forced circulation), this range can be extended somewhat.
Fixing the endpoint of evaporation in the drum also sets the size of the heating surfaces in the evaporator and superheater.
Page 16 of 222
Systems with variable evaporation endpoint.
Evaporation takes place in a single pass. This principle is used in the BENSON boiler, the world's most frequently
constructed steam generator type. Flow through the evaporator is induced by the feed pump. The system can therefore
be operated at any desired pressure, i. e. at either subcritical or supercritical pressure. The evaporation endpoint
can shiftwithin one or more heating surfaces. The evaporator and superheater areas thus automatically adjust
to operational requirements.
A reliable coaching of the water walls in once-through boilers is reached by sufficiently high flow velocities
of the water/steam mixture. This can be achieved by reducing the number of parallel tubes either using a
multi-pass design or a spiral wound tubing of the furnace, however.
Problems with mixing and demixing of the total flow are disadvantageous in the multi-pass design.
Feedwater Control System
Common to both the drum-type steam generator and the BENSON boiler is that the feedwater control system
setpoint is generated for the location in the pressure section where evaporation is complete. In the drum-type
steam generator, this point is the drum itself. The drum level is used as the setpoint. Control quality can also be
improved by allowing for parameters such as unit output.
The endpoint of evaporation in the once-through steam generator is variable and can move within one or more heating
surfaces as a function of operational requirements. The setpoint is therefore also variable. The setpoint is the steam
temperature downstream of the evaporator at a point where the steam already has a certain degree of superheat.
This setpoint is specified as a function of load such that the main steam temperature remains constant.
Main steam temperature is thus independent of load, fouling of heating surfaces or excess air. Unit output,
steam pressure and other parameters can also be allowed for here to improve control quality.
Page 17 of 222
Operators can track adequate feedwater supply similarly for both steam generator.
While the drum level setpoint is constant, the setpoint for steam temperature downstream
of the evaporator can move in a "window" in front of the temperature scale (see figure).
Startup System
Steam power plants have a steam generator startup system and a unit startup system. The steam generator
startup system for a BENSON boiler and a drum-type steam generator are similar. A separating vessel is located
downstream of the evaporator (separator or drum), via which water is removed from the steam generator on startup.
The separated steam cools the superheater. In BENSON boilers for base-load plants, the water separated out in the
separator is led to a flash tank. Units with frequent startup and shutdown usually have a circulating pump.
The steam is then led through the HP bypass station, the reheater and the LP bypass station to the condenser.
This unit startup system is essentially the same for BENSON boilers and drum-type steam generators. The only
difference may be the flow rate through the bypass station, if a 100 % HP bypass station with safety function is used.
The startup sequence is described by three steps. The evaporator is first filled with water (step 1). Then the burners
are ignited, and the steam produced flows through the turbine bypass into the condenser (step 2). As soon as the steam
at the superheater outlet has a sufficient degree of superheat, the turbines are run up and the generator is synchronized
The mass flow through the bypass stations decreases correspondingly (step 3). The startup sequence is essentially the
same for cold, warm and hot starts.
Reliable forced cooling of the water walls and the thin wall thicknesses of the separators at the end of the evaporator
make the startup time of the BENSON boiler considerably shorter than that for the drum-type boiler up to the admission
of steam to the turbine. Cold startup (shut down > 48 hours) governed by the turbine.
Page 18 of 222
Reheater Temperature Control
An operating advantage of the BENSON steam generator is that the main steam temperature can be held constant,
independent of load, fouling of heating surfaces, changing coal characteristics and excess air, simply by adjusting the ratio
of coal flow rate to feedwater flow rate. The spray attemperators are only used for fine control, particularly in the case of
dynamic processes. On the other hand, additional measures are required to maintain constant reheater temperature,
analogous to those for HP and reheater temperatures on a drum-type steam generator.
In Europe the implementation of spray attemporation is widely used, outside Europe damper control and flue gas
recirculation are dominating.
Tendency of Design Parameters
For a long time - from 1970 to 1990 - the power Plant development regarding the steam parameters stagnated world-wide
e. g. in Germany with about 190 bar, 530 C and in USA with 167 bar, 538 C. The power plant net efficiency with these
steam conditions was in the range between 37 % and 39 %, bases on lower heating value. In some countries, especially
in Europe and USA, a few supercritical power plants were developed in addition to the conventional design.
The development to higher steam temperatures started in the beginning of the 90's, when new material (P91) not as
expensive as austenitic steel was available. This development was pushed in Japan and in Europe, particularly
in Germany and Denmark.
Today steam temperatures of 580 C/600 C are the design parameters for future German power plants.
In Japan these high steam parameters are also state of the art and the development to higher pressure and temperatures will go on.
A comparison of sub- and supercritical power plants in Germany shows, that there is no difference in the availability
of both types of plants. There is no specific or additional risk for power plants with supercritical pressure. Other experiences
by transition to supercritical pressure in the 60's in USA are rather caused by simultaneously increasing the size of power plants
from 300 MW to 1000 MW and more and other conceptional changes like firing design from under- to overpressure and last not
least by the Boiler design itself. UP/Multi Pass.

3.0 Comparison of Subcritical and supercritical Units in View of
Efficiency, Availability,Feedwater Treatment and Investment Costs
The most important effect of supercritical and ultra supercritical plant design is the increase of plant
efficiency. It is obvious that units running with higher efficiency, i.e. burning less quantity of coal to produce
same amount of electric energy, are giving a significant benefit regarding saving of natural coal reserves and
saving of the environment by reducing dust-, CO
2
, SO
x
and NO
x
-emission. Considering only the increase of
efficiency by increasing the steam parameters from 175 bar, 538/538C to 241 bar, 538/566 C will give a coal
saving of 210,00 tons per year for a typical Indian super thermal power station of 4x500 MW electric output.
Annual saving of CO
2
can be estimated to approx. 262,000 tons per year, SO
2
, saving can be calculated to
1,600 tons and total ash saving to about 90,900 tons for this power station.
Availability data for subcritical and supercritical power plants based on recent US EPRI and German VGB
publications or from Japan give clear evidence that over the last decades plant availability data for supercritical
units are in the same range as the relevant data for subcritical units. In addition enclosed availability figures
from several once-through boilers supplied by BBP to different utilities illustrate the reliability of the units.
Regarding water chemistry a comparison of the relevant international standards illustrates that no additional
installation for supercritical power plants compared to the requested standards for high pressure subcritical
plants are required. A combination of a condensate polishing plant with oxygenated treatment can be
recommended as a well proven procedure. Further, once-through boilers do not have a boiler blow down. This
has a positive effect on the water balance of the plant with less condensate needed to be fed into the
water-steam cycle and less waste water to be disposed.
Page 41 of 222
In the recent past several studies have been worked out by various companies and institutions comparing
investment costs and electricity generation costs of subcritical and supercritical coal fired thermal power
stations. For example Shell & SEPRIL (a consulant,jointly owned by Electric Power Research Institute and
Sargent & Lundy) have assessed the cost effectiveness and environmental performance of a State of the Art
Power Plant (SOAPP), PF-coal fired, 3500 psig (240 bar, 41% plant efficiency), supercritical, 2x600 MWel, in an
Asian location in a detailed study for the International Energy. The plant investment costs on turn key base have
been found out to be 1% higher in comparison to a comparable subcritical unit (38 % plant efficiency).
Regarding electricity generations costs the effect of the fuel price is very significant but even in case of low fuel
cost (15 US $/to) and lower capital cost the supercritical unit causes lower electricity costs.
Our own investigations based on a 525 MWel world coal fired unit for Israel and 2x660 MWel high ash coal
fired boilers for China confirm the results of the Shell report. The total plant investment costs for the supercritical
unit based on design data (255 bar, 540/560C) and turn key scope will increase 1.85% in comparison to the
subcritical unit. Further, specific investment costs can be lowered by increasing unit size.
The costs for the boiler itself will increase in the order of 4.5 to 5% by using supercritical steam parameters.
Noted that these studies are mainly based on world coal fired units. Considering high ash Indian coal
investment cost of the units (subcritical or supercritical) in general will increase in comparison to low ash coal
firing units due to the special layout requirements of the boiler, electrostatic precipitator and ash handling
system. However it can be predicted that the price relation of subcritical to supercritical units both firing high ash
Indian coal will not be influenced, i.e. will remain in the range of about 2% higher investment cost for the
supercritical unit.

Increasing steam parameters from subcritical to supercritical like 241bar, 538/566C
will result in preservation of resources and will consider the greenhouse effect.
For a 4x500MWe power station in India a coal saving of 210,000 tons/a, CO
2
-saving
of 262,000 tons/a and a SO
2
-saving of 1,600 tons/a will be reached.
Availability of supercritical units are comparable to subcritical units.
International standards for water chemistry do not ask for additional installations for
supercritical units compared to high pressure subcritical units.
Turn key plant investment costs on international basis for 240bar, 540/560C
supercritical units are in the range of 1 to 2% higher in comparison to high pressure
subcritical units. Cost increase for the boiler will be about 4.5 to 5%.
It can be assumed that this price relation will remain the same for power plant
designed for Indian coal.

Technical Session Technical Session II II
4.0 Once-Through Boiler Design & Operation Experiences, Reference Plants
Due to the merger of all power plants technology activities of Babcock Borsig AG in the company Babcock
Borsig Power (BBP) all experiences about power plant boiler technology are now focused in BBP.
References of steam generators of all kind of design concepts like 2-pass boilers with pendent platen
superheaters or 2-pass design with completely drainable heating surfaces as well as tower-type boilers up to a
hight of more than 160m with subcritical, supercritical or ultra supercritical steam parameters are available. For
the complete range of fossil fuels optimized firing concepts are available with own mills and burner systems. As a
result of the broad experiences gained with engeneering, manufacturing, erection and commissioning of plants
in Germany and abroad a highly sofisticated contract management system has been developted which satisfies
most demanding customers requirements.
The extensive know-how transfer within the frame of the Technical Collaboration Agreement between BHEL
and BBP will enable our Indian partner BHEL by means of extensive training and collaboration activities to
design, manufacture, erect and commission power plants in India with supercritical steam parameters of
comparable technology and quality standards.

5.0 Firing System
Babcock Borsig Power (BBP) has decades of experience in the design of firing systems for the whole
range of coal qualities.
To enable the use of a wide range of bituminous coals and low-grade hard coals, an advanced firing system
has to fulfill quite a number of criteria:
- Design of the burner zone and the furnance with due regard to the combustion behaviour and slagging
tendency of the coal
- Flexible mill system with variable grinding force and grinding fitness to adjust mill operation to the coal quality
- Pulverized coal burners with stable ignition over wide working range and varying coals as well as low No
x
emission
- Design of the main components with due regard to the ash content and wearing bahaviour of the mineral
components of the coal
BBP has in-house competence for both combustion chamber design and all firing components
Important features of the BBP firing concept for large hard coal fired steam generators are:
- Opposed firing system
- MPS mill
- DS burner.
For this system a great number of references plants with differing units capacities and steam generator
types are available. The coal qualities used cover the whole range of anthracites available in special locations
through very wide ranges of imported coals used at coastal stations world wide located up to high-ash coals
with high abrasivness which are comparable to the fuels fired in pit head stations in India.

Changed heat release Changed heat release in the in the furnace furnace
by varying coal qualities by varying coal qualities
Varying combustion and fouling behaviour of different coals
within a wide range of coals cause varying heat release and
heat absorption in the furnace
Benson boiler principle compensates these effects by shifting
of the final evaporation point without diminishing efficiency

Conclusions Conclusions
Well-proved firing systems are available for the whole range of coal qualities
Advanced pulverizing and firing equipment allow the use of low grade coal and wide
fuel ranges with favorable ignition and burnout behaviour and reduced pollutant
emission
BBP has extensive experience with coal qualities similar to Indian low grade coals
Marks of BBP firing system for Indian high ash coal
Optimum operation of mills over load range and varying coal qualities
(MPS mill with hydropneumatic grinding force system)
Stable ignition of the flames over a wide operational range (DS burner)
Adequate life time of wear parts (mills 7 000 h, burners and p.c. pipes 24 000 h)
Operation with low excess air (air ratio 1.15)
Low NOx emission (in compliance with WB Standards)

Conclusions (contd)
Conclusions Conclusions ( (cont contd) d)
Varying heat release and heat absorption in the furnace firing differing
coals are compensated in a Benson boiler due to its variable final

6.0 Supercritical boiler concept of BBP
Babcock Borsig Power (BBP) has gained broad experiences with subcritical and supercritical steam
generators in tower-type and 2-pass design. Both types of design, tower-type/2-pass, have their own
advantages and the decision for the most adequate design depends on an optimization process considering the
- fuel type (fouling, slagging, abrasivness of ash etc.)
- client requests regarding number of mills, max. burner capacity, general arragement, limitation of building
hight etc.
- manufacturing and erection limitation
- costs and prices
For Indian pit-head power stations firing non beneficiated (unwashed), highly abrasiv coal with extremly high
ash content and based on the broad experience of BBP with firing high ash bituminous coal especially gained in
South Africa (see chapter 6) BBP would prefer tower-type design. In respect of mitigating erosion problems by
avoiding flue gas stratification before entering convective heating surfaces tower-type design shows an
advantage in comparision to 2-pass design due lower tube failure rate. Power stations using beneficiated
(washed) Indian coal with lower ash content or costal power stations firing imported coal 2-pass design may be
chosen.
Technical Session III Technical Session III
Page 208 of 222
Supercritical Boiler Concept of BBP in India
BBP has gained broad experiences with sub-/supercritical steam generators in
tower-type and 2-pass design
Optimized design in principle depends on certain criteria like
- fuel type (fouling, slagging, abrasiveness of ash etc.)
- client request regarding no. of mills, max. burner capacity, general arrangement etc.
- manufacturing and erection limitations
- local costs for labor and raw materials
For Indian pit-head power stations firing non benificiated (unwashed) local high ash coal
BBP would prefer tower type design to mitigate fly ash erosion
For power stations firing benificiated (washed) Indian coal or costal power stations firing
imported coal 2-pass design may be chosen

7.0 Operation & maintenance of once-through boilers based on experiences gained in South Africa
Babcock Borsig Power (BBP) has supplied 46 bit. coal steam generators with an overall steaming capacity
of about 57,000t/h in the last decades to the Republic of South Africa, thus broad experiences has been gained
with firing high ash South Africa coal.
Up-to-date statistics based on data from the last five years (1994 - 1998) from South African utility ESCOM
show a trend to slightly lower average values of the forced outage rate of power stations with once-through,
tower-type steam generators in comparison to those with drum-type, 2-pass steam generators.
A comparision of the tube failure rate of South Africa 600 MW units (data from 1998) with values available from
India show lower failure rate in the South African units. In addition a tendency to lower failure rate in
tower-type units can be detected from the South African data which is among other reasons
caused in a low tube failure rate caused by fly ash erosion in these tower-type steam generators.
Actual data based on South African 600 MW units give evidence that the maintenance costs of the power
stations with once-through, tower-type steam generators are within the same range or even lower than power
stations with steam generators of drum-type, 2-pass design.

O. & M. of Once-Through Boilers, Experiences from Republic of South Africa
BBP has decades of experiences gained in 46 units with total 57,000 t/h steaming
capacity with firing South African high ash hard coal
Statistic data from the last 5 years (1994-98) from ESCOM power stations show a trend
to slightly lower forced outage rate of units with once-through, tower-type steam
generators in comparison to those with drum-type, 2-pass design
Lower tube failure rate of tower-type steam generators is among other reasons caused
in a low number of tube failures by fly ash erosion due to tower-type design
Maintenance costs of S.A. power stations with BBP once-through, tower-type steam
generators are comparable or even lower than power stations with drum-type, 2-pass
