Drum type boiler • Steam generation takes place furnace water walls • Fixed evaporation end point - the drum • Steam -water separation takes place in the drum • Separated water mixed with incoming feed water
Once Through Boiler • Once -through flow through all sections of boiler (economiser, water walls & superheater) • Feed pump provides the driving head • Suitable for sub critical & super critical pressures
Once -thru Boiler Advantages: • • • •
Quick response to load changes Shorter start up time Better suited for sliding pressure operation Steam temperature can be maintained over wider load range under sliding pressure • Higher tolerance to varying coal quality • Suitable for sub critical & super critical pressures
ADVANTAGES OF ONCE THROUGH BOILERS Once thru boiler enables : • Peak power generation with better efficiency levels • Quicker response to TG load changes • Better heat rate of lower loads
Once -through Boiler
Characteristics :
• Provides Quicker response to TG load changes • Supports achievement of better heat rate at lower loads • Higher furnace wall pressure drop and consequent higher feed pump auxiliary power consumption • Needs ultra pure quality feed water - Cannot operate under conditions of condenser leak
Tower Vs Two pass • • •
For Indian Pit-head power station BBP preference is tower type ( to overcome flyash erosion) For power stations firing beneficiated Indian coals – Two pass boiler For coastal power stations firing imported coals – Two pass boiler

** Worked out based on the Alstom BOM supplied for SIPAT boiler.
Technology Acquisition Thru Collaboration – Status •BHEL entered into a TCA with M/S Babcock Borsig Power(BBP), Grmany in 1999. •First phase of training provided by BPP in 2001. •BBP has become insolvent in July 2002 & further training planned during the execution of the first contract and technology transfer was not possible. •Subsequently a new Engg company , Babcock Borsig Power Systems (BBPS), owned by Babcock Hitachi, Japan was formed. •BBPS was found acceptable for Technical collaboration after “due deligence” exercises. But the collaboration route with BBPS could not be utilised for Sipat tender as NTPC spec required the collaborator to provide financial guarantees.
SIPAT 3x660MW – Joint Bidding with Alstom •In the original bid submitted in Oct 2003, BHEL-Alstom joint bid was placed at L3, with Dossan/Korea as L1 and TPE/Russia as L2. •In Dec 2003, NTPC invited snap bids to be submitted by all the three bidders by 9 Jan 2003 •The new requirements (with increased steam flow & for vacating certain deviations) called for a total redesign by Alstom with estimated three months time. Accordingly BHEL sought extension till 05 March 2004 for submitting the revised bid. •However since the request for extension was not granted by NTPC, the snap bid could not be submitted by BHEL
Immediate OTB projects •NTPC – BARH 3x660MW Tender due in May 2004. QR same as Sipat project. •APGENCO, Vijayawada 1X660MW Four companies (Alstom, Siemens/Doosan,Sumitomo/Babcock Hitachi & TPE/Russia) have been pre-qualified for EPC
