pH, K at each CPU Vessel
PORTABLE D.O. METER
Replacement of De-aerator
O/L sample line by Feed
water line to analyzer for
round the clock monitoring of
Feed DO.
Training Session
The training session for operators regarding OT &
Actions to be taken during start-up, shut-down and in normal
operation.
Database
Recording and observing parameters for three months before
start comprising Feed & CEP DO
Monitoring of ACC of cycle chemistry under AVT condition to
ensure the readiness of boilers for conversion to OT.
