STARTING OF PULVERIZER

1. Check any adjacent mill is ‘ON’ with >50% coal feeding. Otherwise at least 3 Oil
Guns must be taken at adjacent elevation before taking the Mill in service (If the
Boiler Loading is more than 30% for fulfilling ignition permit of pulveriser.
2. If the Boiler load is less than 30%, at least three oil guns must be taken into service
in the adjacent elevation irrespective of the loading of the adjacent mill for getting
ignition permit. If Boiler load is less than 30%, Mill-E and Mill-C can be taken into
service without taking oil support in DE elevation and CD elevation respectively,
provided Mill-D (for Mill-E) and Mill-B(for Mill-C) are having more than 50%
loading and at least three oil guns in service in Elevation CD (for mill-E) and in
Elevation AB (for mill-C). Otherwise, three oil supports in the adjacent elevation is
must for getting ignition permit if the boiler load is less than 30%.
3. Gun must be taken if Flame quality is poor at that elevation irrespective of Mill
running.
4. Check Mill Lub Oil Tank level is OK and at least One Pump is running with
>3.5kg/cm2 .
5. First open Cold Air Gate(CAG) giving command from DCS. Then open the Cold
Air Damper partially and establish PA flow 15-20 TPH.
6. Open the Seal Air Valve. Hot Air Gate(HAG) & Damper (HAD) should be in full
closed condition.
7. Now check from DCS that the other permissives are available and Mill is in
‘START READY’ condition.
8. Now ensure the UB voltage is >6.6KV.
9. Now Mill can be started. Mill No Load current will be around 27 amps.
10. After starting the Mill, Open the HAG immediately and start to open the HAD to
increase the PA Flow as well as Mill O/L Temp. Set the PA flow around 65-70 TPH
and raise Mill O/L Temp to 70-750 C by controlling HAD & CAD manually.
11. Now check all the Feeder permissives are available at DCS and start the Coal
Feeder.

 12. After starting the Feeder Coal flow will increase by 12 TPH automatically & Feeder
command raises to 20%. Mill current will increase after few Minutes.
13. Now Feeding can be raised by commanding from DCS. This thing must be checked
that at <=20TPH coal feeding, Mill current should be >30 amps.
14. Now put the HAD & CAD in Auto mode with appropriate setpoint of ‘Air
Flow’(80-90TPH) & ‘Mill O/L Temp’(80-900C) respectively.
