14 RCFA-Unit 92-P261A 13 / Boiler Feed Water Pumps Performance Loss

15 RCFA-Unit 92-P261A RCFA Findings: Root Cause (Human) - Incorrect material specification of the pump casing for boiler feed water service led to major damage of casing inner walls and rotor parts Contributing Factor 1 (Latent) Insufficient online monitoring of pump performance due to inadequate instrumentation prevented effective pump health monitoring Contributing Factor 2 (Latent) Inadequate surveillance program for boiler feed water conditions led to a possible corrosive environment within pump flow path 14 / Boiler Feed Water Pumps Performance Loss

16 RCFA-Unit 92-P261A RCFA Recommendations: Immediate action: Purchase x6 new BFWPs with 12%Cr Stainless Steel casings (A487CA6NM) and replace the existing pumps with carbon steel casing (A216 WCB ) Medium action: Revise Equipment Strategy to perform bi-monthly online performance monitoring task including steam condensate dissolved oxygen and PH levels to ensure remaining within specification Long term action: Improve online monitoring: -Digital discharge pressure transmitter -Install flow measurement devices on the discharge and recirculation line 15 / Boiler Feed Water Pumps Performance Loss

17 Operational Risk Mitigation Contracts Dep. Electrical and Instrumentation Eng. Manufacturing Dep. Rotating Machinery Eng. Recovery Team Maintenance Process Eng. Asset Management Supply Dep. 16 / Boiler Feed Water Pumps Performance Loss

18 Operational Risk Mitigation Integrated Repair plan: x3 pumps repaired between Oct and March 2012 x2 pumps were repaired used spare parts supplied from third party as fast repair. System reviewed for equipment reliability (Turbines, Motors, Automatic Recycle Valves, Instruments etc.) and corrective actions taken as appropriate Frequent measurement of discharge and recycle flow using clamp flow meter to assess pump performance Long term - Installation of x6 new pumps with stainless steel casing (procurement and installation time-14 months) 17 / Boiler Feed Water Pumps Performance Loss

19 Recommendations Results Performance for the repaired 3 units as interim solution was similar to OEM design. Ultimate replacement of all pumps by new stainless steel casing's units results in operating the BFW system with reliable units as per OEM design. Optimum performance 18 / Boiler Feed Water Pumps Performance Loss

20 Lessons Learned Follow API610 guidelines during procurement (material specifications versus fluid service) Improve datasheet and specification review during project FEED and procurement Improve online monitoring instruments required during plant design 19 / Boiler Feed Water Pumps Performance Loss October13
