    The feedwater system provides heated and conditioned water to the boiler drum to maintain an efficient steam cycle. Feedwater is pumped from the deaerator storage tank through boiler feed pumps and high pressure feedwater heaters to the boiler economizer inlets. The purpose of the boiler feed pumps is to pump feedwater into the steam boiler under normal operating conditions. Key components of the feedwater system include deaerators, boiler feed pumps, high pressure feedwater heaters, and drip systems.

    Feed Water System

    The purpose of the Feedwater System is to provide an adequate flow of properly heated and conditioned water to the
    boiler and maintain boiler drum level compatible with the boiler load. This system also conveys water to the boiler reheater
    attemperators, superheater attemperators, auxiliary steam desuperheaters, the high pressure bypass desuperheater and
    HP fill & purge SGCW pump cooler. Feedwater is heated to achieve an efficient thermodynamic cycle.

    Under normal operating conditions, feedwater flows from the outlet nozzles of the Deaerator storage tank, through the
    boiler feed booster pumps (BFBP), to the boiler feed pumps (BFP). From the discharge of the boiler feed pumps, the
    flow continues through both high pressure feedwater heater strings to the boiler economiser inlets.

    ● Working Principle
    Henry’s Law
    Henry’s law is a gas law which state when temperature is kept constant.

    P ∝ C (or) P = kH.C

    Decrease the partial pressure of the dissolved gas

    by adding steam in Deaerator, gas solubility decreases.

    When the temperature of water is growing, the dissolved

    oxygen content within the water is decreases.

    Purpose & Type of BFP

    • The boiler feed pump (BFP) is one of the most important auxiliary equipment in coal-fired power plants. 

    • Boiler Feed Pump is used to pump feed water into a steam boiler.

    • There are 3 BFP’s in 500MW unit. (2 TDBFPs & 1 MDBFP).

    • MDBFP is generally used during unit start up or shut down, low load operation of the Unit or emergency

    situations

    • During the normal operation both TDBFPs remain in service and MDBFP remains as Standby on Auto.
    Components of BFP

    Booster Pump

    •To prevent cavitation booster pump provides positive


    pressure at the pump suction.

    Hydraulic coupling

    • To Transmit power from motor to pump as per the load


    requirement.

    Suction Strainers

    • To Protect Booster pump and main pump against


    catastrophic failure due to entry of coarse particles
    Dosing in Feed water and Recirculation

    Recirculation

    • To maintain the Continuous flow of feed


    water when the valve to Economizer is
    Closed

    Dosing

    • Ammonia and Hydrazine dosing done at BFP


    Suction as to maintain pH level of feed water.
    HP Heaters

    ▪ Regenerative heat exchangers.


    ▪ Counter flow type.
    ▪ Tube material: carbon steel, stainless
    steel & monel metal
    ▪ Preheat feed water at high pressure by
    extracted steam from IPT.
    ▪ Efficiency improvement
    HP heater

    Group bypass scheme

    ● Taking HPHs out of survive in pair.


    ● To avoid mixing of high pressure of feed water into low pressure steamin
    case of tube rupture.
    Feed regulating station

    ▪ a multiple feed-water regulating valve


    arrangemen.
    ▪ to ensure continuous and adequate supply
    of feed water to drum.
    ▪ Different capacity lines
    ▪ 3 element feed control.
