Problems Encountered In High Pressure Feed System In Dr. Sharief Power Station

Abstract

In this research, the problems encountered in HP feed system in Dr. Sharief power station, were studied. To achieve this, the author studied carefully the manuals and procedures available in the station given for solving the problems encountered in the steam power plant. Some of the problems need more studying, and further work to be done. In this research, the following problems were investigated: 1. The suction strainer problem and the appropriate solutions were suggested. 2. The cavitation problems; and how they can be solved. 3. The HP heaters emergency drains problems, and solutions were adopted. 4. The HP heaters level problems; and solutions are suggested for solving these problems. 5. The HP heaters tube failures problem; and how they were solved. 6. The HP heaters tube erosion failures; and how these problems were solved. 7. The HP heaters vibration problems failures; and how these problems were solved. 8. The HP heaters valves erosion problems; and solutions were suggested. Many proposals were raised which could assist to improve the plant in Dr. Sharief Power Station. Other recommendations for future research work were also given, regarding design and operational problems.
