MAINTENENANCE ENGINEERING (ME-403)
Engro PowerGen Qadirpur Ltd.
 Part of the Engro Corp
 Engro’s first Independent Power Project (IPP)
 A combined Cycle power plant producing 227MW
 Situated in Qadirpur, Sindh
 Incorporated in the year 2008
 The Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company Limited is a joint venture between the
Government of Sindh and Engro Powergen, to mine coal from Thar Block II
Maintenance Plan
 Advance planning for maintenance is a necessity for utility, industrial,
independent power producers and cogeneration plants operators in order to
minimize downtime.
 The primary factors that affect the maintenance planning process are :
MAINTENANCE EFFORT
Primary maintenance effort is attributed to five basic
systems:
 Controls and accessories,
 Combustion,
 Turbine,
 Generator
Balance-of-plant.
The basic design and recommended
maintenance of GE heavy-duty gas turbine
 Maximum periods of operation between inspection and
overhauls
 In-place, on-site inspection and maintenance
 Use of local trade skills to disassemble, inspect and re-
assemble
 In addition to maintenance of the basic gas turbine, the
control devices, fuel metering equipment, gas turbine
auxiliaries, load package, and other station auxiliaries
also require periodic servicing
Engro PowerGen’s approach to
maintenance planning of a GT
• A gas fuel unit operating continuous duty, with no water or
steam injection, is established as the baseline condition which
sets the maximum recommended maintenance intervals.
• For operation that differs from the baseline, maintenance
factors are established that determine the increased level
of maintenance that is required.
• For example, a maintenance factor of two would indicate
a maintenance interval that is half of the baseline interval
Gas turbines wear
 Thermal mechanical fatigue is the dominant limiter of life
for peaking machines, while creep, oxidation, and
corrosion are the dominant limiters of life for continuous
duty machines
 Table shows the wear
occurs in GT
A graphical display of the GE approach
 In this figure, the inspection interval recommendation is defined by the
rectangle established by the starts and hours criteria.
 An alternative to the GE approach, which is sometimes employed by other
manufacturers, converts each start cycle to an equivalent number of
operating hours (EOH) with inspection intervals based on the equivalent hours
count.
CYCLIC EFFECTS
 For the starts-based maintenance criteria, operating
factors associated with the cyclic effects produced during
start-up, operation and shutdown of the turbine must be
considered
 Operating conditions other than the standard start-up and
shutdown sequence can potentially reduce the cyclic life
of the hot gas path components and rotor, and if present,
will require more frequent maintenance and parts
refurbishment and/or replacement
Non Destructive Testing (NDT)
 Thermal mechanical fatigue testing has found that the number of
cycles that a part can withstand before cracking occurs is strongly
influenced by the total strain range and the maximum metal
temperature experienced.
 Any operating condition that significantly increases the strain range
and/or the maximum metal temperature over the normal cycle
conditions will act to reduce the fatigue life and increase the starts-
based maintenance factor.
ROTOR PARTS
 In addition to the hot gas path components, the rotor structure
maintenance and refurbishment requirements are impacted by the
cyclic effects associated with startup, operation and shutdown, as
well as loading and off-load characteristics.
 Disassembly and inspection of all rotor components is required when
the accumulated rotor starts or hours reach the inspection limits.
 For the rotor, the thermal condition when the start-up sequence is
initiated is a major factor in determining the rotor maintenance
interval and individual rotor component life.
 Large rotors with their longer thermal time constants develop higher
thermal stresses than smaller rotors undergoing the same startup time
sequence.
COMBUSTION PARTS
 A typical combustion system contains transition pieces, combustion
liners, flow sleeves, head-end assemblies containing fuel nozzles and
cartridges, end caps and end covers, and assorted other hardware
including cross-fire tubes, spark plugs and flame detectors.
 GE provides several types of combustion systems including standard
combustors, Multi-Nozzle Quiet Combustors (MNQC), Integrated
Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) combustors and Dry Low NOx
(DLN) combustors.
 Each of these combustion systems have unique operating
characteristics and modes of operation with differing responses to
operational variables affecting maintenance and refurbishment
requirements.
Combustion Parts Maintenance
 The maintenance and refurbishment requirements of combustion parts are
impacted by many of the same factors as hot gas path parts including start
cycle, trips, fuel type and quality, firing temperature and use of steam or
water injection for either emissions control or power augmentation.
 Combustion maintenance is performed, if required, following each
combustion inspection (or repair) interval.
 Replacement intervals are usually defined by a recommended number of
combustion (or repair)intervals and are usually combustion component
specific.
MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS
 Maintenance inspection types may be broadly classified as stand-by, running
and disassembly inspections.
 The stand-by inspection is performed during off-peak periods when the unit
is not operating and includes routine servicing of accessory systems and
device calibration.
 The running inspection is performed by observing key operating parameters
while the turbine is running.
 The disassembly inspection requires opening the turbine for inspection of
internal components and is performed in varying degrees.
Shut down inspection
VIBRATION LEVEL
 The vibration signature of the unit should be observed and recorded.
Minor changes will occur with changes in operating conditions.
However, large changes or a continuously increasing trend give
indications of the need to apply corrective action.
FUEL FLOW AND PRESSURE
 The fuel system should be observed for the general fuel flow versus
load relationship. Fuel pressures through the system should be
observed. Changes in fuel pressure can indicate the fuel nozzle
passages are plugged, or that fuel metering elements are damaged
our out of calibration.
Combustion Inspection – key elements
Gas turbine major inspection – key elements
Major Inspection
Typical major inspection requirements for machines are:
 All radial and axial clearances are checked against their original values
(opening and closing).
 Casings, shells and frames/diffusers are inspected for cracks and erosion.
 Compressor inlet and compressor flow-path are inspected for fouling, erosion,
corrosion and leakage. The IGVs are inspected, looking for corrosion, bushing
wear and vane cracking.
 Rotor and stator compressor blades are checked for tip clearance, rubs,
impact damage, corrosion pitting, bowing and cracking.
 Turbine stationary shrouds are checked for clearance, erosion, rubbing,
cracking and build-up.
 Seals and hook fits of turbine nozzles and diaphragms are inspected for rubs,
erosion, fretting or thermal deterioration.
 Bearing liners and seals are inspected for clearance and wear.
 Inlet systems are inspected for corrosion, cracked silencers and loose parts.
CONCLUSION
 To achieve maximum gas turbine availability, an owner must
understand not only his equipment, but the factors affecting it.
 This includes the training of operating and maintenance personnel,
following the manufacturer's recommendations, regular periodic
inspections and the stocking of spare parts for immediate
replacement.
 The recording of operating data, and analysis of these data, are
essential to preventative and planned maintenance.
 It should be recognized that, while the manufacturer provides general
maintenance recommendations, it is the equipment user who has the
major impact upon the proper maintenance and operation of
equipment
Conclusion
 The level and quality of a rigorous maintenance program have a direct
impact on equipment reliability and availability. Therefore, a rigorous
maintenance program, which optimizes both maintenance cost and
availability, is vital to the user. A rigorous maintenance program will
minimize overall costs, keep outage downtimes to a minimum,
improve starting and running reliability and provide increased
availability and revenue-earning ability for GE gas turbine users.

Maintenance plan

  • 1. MAINTENANCE PLAN ENGRO POWERGEN QADIRPUR LTD. 227 MWCCP GROUP MEMBERS:  Tariq Jamil 17  Nauman Khan 20  Haider Zia 35  Muhammad Arsalan Khan 47 MAINTENENANCE ENGINEERING (ME-403)
  • 2. Engro PowerGen Qadirpur Ltd.  Part of the Engro Corp  Engro’s first Independent Power Project (IPP)  A combined Cycle power plant producing 227MW  Situated in Qadirpur, Sindh  Incorporated in the year 2008  The Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company Limited is a joint venture between the Government of Sindh and Engro Powergen, to mine coal from Thar Block II
  • 3. Maintenance Plan  Advance planning for maintenance is a necessity for utility, industrial, independent power producers and cogeneration plants operators in order to minimize downtime.  The primary factors that affect the maintenance planning process are :
  • 4. MAINTENANCE EFFORT Primary maintenance effort is attributed to five basic systems:  Controls and accessories,  Combustion,  Turbine,  Generator Balance-of-plant.
  • 5. The basic design and recommended maintenance of GE heavy-duty gas turbine  Maximum periods of operation between inspection and overhauls  In-place, on-site inspection and maintenance  Use of local trade skills to disassemble, inspect and re- assemble  In addition to maintenance of the basic gas turbine, the control devices, fuel metering equipment, gas turbine auxiliaries, load package, and other station auxiliaries also require periodic servicing
  • 6. Engro PowerGen’s approach to maintenance planning of a GT • A gas fuel unit operating continuous duty, with no water or steam injection, is established as the baseline condition which sets the maximum recommended maintenance intervals. • For operation that differs from the baseline, maintenance factors are established that determine the increased level of maintenance that is required. • For example, a maintenance factor of two would indicate a maintenance interval that is half of the baseline interval
  • 7. Gas turbines wear  Thermal mechanical fatigue is the dominant limiter of life for peaking machines, while creep, oxidation, and corrosion are the dominant limiters of life for continuous duty machines  Table shows the wear occurs in GT
  • 8. A graphical display of the GE approach  In this figure, the inspection interval recommendation is defined by the rectangle established by the starts and hours criteria.
  • 9.  An alternative to the GE approach, which is sometimes employed by other manufacturers, converts each start cycle to an equivalent number of operating hours (EOH) with inspection intervals based on the equivalent hours count.
  • 10. CYCLIC EFFECTS  For the starts-based maintenance criteria, operating factors associated with the cyclic effects produced during start-up, operation and shutdown of the turbine must be considered  Operating conditions other than the standard start-up and shutdown sequence can potentially reduce the cyclic life of the hot gas path components and rotor, and if present, will require more frequent maintenance and parts refurbishment and/or replacement
  • 11. Non Destructive Testing (NDT)  Thermal mechanical fatigue testing has found that the number of cycles that a part can withstand before cracking occurs is strongly influenced by the total strain range and the maximum metal temperature experienced.  Any operating condition that significantly increases the strain range and/or the maximum metal temperature over the normal cycle conditions will act to reduce the fatigue life and increase the starts- based maintenance factor.
  • 12. ROTOR PARTS  In addition to the hot gas path components, the rotor structure maintenance and refurbishment requirements are impacted by the cyclic effects associated with startup, operation and shutdown, as well as loading and off-load characteristics.  Disassembly and inspection of all rotor components is required when the accumulated rotor starts or hours reach the inspection limits.  For the rotor, the thermal condition when the start-up sequence is initiated is a major factor in determining the rotor maintenance interval and individual rotor component life.  Large rotors with their longer thermal time constants develop higher thermal stresses than smaller rotors undergoing the same startup time sequence.
  • 13. COMBUSTION PARTS  A typical combustion system contains transition pieces, combustion liners, flow sleeves, head-end assemblies containing fuel nozzles and cartridges, end caps and end covers, and assorted other hardware including cross-fire tubes, spark plugs and flame detectors.  GE provides several types of combustion systems including standard combustors, Multi-Nozzle Quiet Combustors (MNQC), Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) combustors and Dry Low NOx (DLN) combustors.  Each of these combustion systems have unique operating characteristics and modes of operation with differing responses to operational variables affecting maintenance and refurbishment requirements.
  • 14. Combustion Parts Maintenance  The maintenance and refurbishment requirements of combustion parts are impacted by many of the same factors as hot gas path parts including start cycle, trips, fuel type and quality, firing temperature and use of steam or water injection for either emissions control or power augmentation.  Combustion maintenance is performed, if required, following each combustion inspection (or repair) interval.  Replacement intervals are usually defined by a recommended number of combustion (or repair)intervals and are usually combustion component specific.
  • 15. MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS  Maintenance inspection types may be broadly classified as stand-by, running and disassembly inspections.  The stand-by inspection is performed during off-peak periods when the unit is not operating and includes routine servicing of accessory systems and device calibration.  The running inspection is performed by observing key operating parameters while the turbine is running.  The disassembly inspection requires opening the turbine for inspection of internal components and is performed in varying degrees.
  • 17. VIBRATION LEVEL  The vibration signature of the unit should be observed and recorded. Minor changes will occur with changes in operating conditions. However, large changes or a continuously increasing trend give indications of the need to apply corrective action. FUEL FLOW AND PRESSURE  The fuel system should be observed for the general fuel flow versus load relationship. Fuel pressures through the system should be observed. Changes in fuel pressure can indicate the fuel nozzle passages are plugged, or that fuel metering elements are damaged our out of calibration.
  • 19. Gas turbine major inspection – key elements
  • 20. Major Inspection Typical major inspection requirements for machines are:  All radial and axial clearances are checked against their original values (opening and closing).  Casings, shells and frames/diffusers are inspected for cracks and erosion.  Compressor inlet and compressor flow-path are inspected for fouling, erosion, corrosion and leakage. The IGVs are inspected, looking for corrosion, bushing wear and vane cracking.  Rotor and stator compressor blades are checked for tip clearance, rubs, impact damage, corrosion pitting, bowing and cracking.  Turbine stationary shrouds are checked for clearance, erosion, rubbing, cracking and build-up.  Seals and hook fits of turbine nozzles and diaphragms are inspected for rubs, erosion, fretting or thermal deterioration.  Bearing liners and seals are inspected for clearance and wear.  Inlet systems are inspected for corrosion, cracked silencers and loose parts.
  • 21. CONCLUSION  To achieve maximum gas turbine availability, an owner must understand not only his equipment, but the factors affecting it.  This includes the training of operating and maintenance personnel, following the manufacturer's recommendations, regular periodic inspections and the stocking of spare parts for immediate replacement.  The recording of operating data, and analysis of these data, are essential to preventative and planned maintenance.  It should be recognized that, while the manufacturer provides general maintenance recommendations, it is the equipment user who has the major impact upon the proper maintenance and operation of equipment
  • 22. Conclusion  The level and quality of a rigorous maintenance program have a direct impact on equipment reliability and availability. Therefore, a rigorous maintenance program, which optimizes both maintenance cost and availability, is vital to the user. A rigorous maintenance program will minimize overall costs, keep outage downtimes to a minimum, improve starting and running reliability and provide increased availability and revenue-earning ability for GE gas turbine users.
