1. Tags are the letters and numbers placed within or near the
instrument to identify the type and function of the device
2. First letter is used to designate the measured variable such as
Pressure, Temperature, Level, Flow, Vibration, etc.
3. Succeeding letter(s) are used to designate the function of the
component or to modify the meaning of the first letter such as

1. The list which consists all the instruments and their specifications in
a process plant is called Instruments Index
2. It consists all instruments including field Gauges & Measuring
Elements
3. A list consisting all the instruments connected from field to DCS or
vice versa is known as the DCS I/O List
4. It contains specifications such as transmitter tag name, DCS tag
name, loop service, signal type, I/O type, instrument calibration
range and DCS range, digital states (if present), alarms, etc.

1. Feed water system
2. Feed water heater
3. Deaerators
4. Economisers
5. Boiler drum
6. Boiler tubes
7. Superheaters
8. Attemperators
9. Condensate systems
10.Fuel system
18. Feed water system

1. The water supplied to the boiler, which is converted into steam, is
called feed water
2. The two sources of feed water are condensate or condensed steam
returned from the process and makeup water (treated raw water)
which must come from outside the boiler room and plant processes
3. DM water is used in boiler to avoid scaling
Feed water heater
1. Heaters are shell and tube heat exchangers with the feed water on
the tube side (inside) and steam on the shell side (outside)
2. Boiler efficiency is improved by the extraction of waste heat from
spent steam to preheat the boiler feedwater
19. Deaerators
Industrial
Training
[2011BIN001] Ranvir Desai
[2011BIN044] Amol Dudhate
19
1. The oxygen is mechanically removed in a deaerator
2. Oxygen is decreasingly soluble as the temperature is raised
3. This is done by passing a stream of steam through the feed water
20. Industrial
Economizers Training
[2011BIN001] Ranvir Desai
[2011BIN044] Amol Dudhate
20
A feed water economizer reduces steam boiler fuel requirements by
transferring heat from the flue gas to incoming feed water
21. Boiler drum
Industrial
Training
[2011BIN001] Ranvir Desai
[2011BIN044] Amol Dudhate
21
1. A boiler system consists of a steam drum and a mud drum
2. The steam drum is the upper drum of a water tube boiler where the
separation of water and steam occurs
3. The lower drum, called the mud drum, is a tank at the bottom of
the boiler that collects solids such as salts formed from hardness
and silica or corrosion products carried into the boiler
Boiler tubes
1. Boiler tubes are usually fabricated from high-strength carbon steel
2. The tubes are welded to form a continuous sheet or wall of tubes
23. Superheaters
Industrial
Training
[2011BIN001] Ranvir Desai
[2011BIN044] Amol Dudhate
23
1. The purpose of the superheater is to remove all moisture content
from the steam by raising the temperature of the steam above its
saturation point
2. The steam leaving the boiler is saturated, that is, it is in equilibrium
with liquid water at the boiler pressure (temperature)
Attemperators
1. Attemperation is the primary means for controlling the degree of
superheat in a superheated boiler
2. Attemperation is the process of partially de-superheating steam by
the controlled injection of water into the superheated steam flow
24. Condensate systems
Industrial
Training
[2011BIN001] Ranvir Desai
[2011BIN044] Amol Dudhate
24
1. Condensate tanks and pumps are major points for oxygen to enter
the condensate system and cause corrosion
2. These points should be monitored closely for pH and oxygen ingress
and proper condensate treatment applied
Fuel system
1. Their primary functions include transferring the fuel into the boiler
and distributing the fuel within the boiler to promote uniform and
complete combustion
2. The type of fuel influences the operational features of a fuel system
25. Boiler Safety Interlocks
