GENERAL HRSG INSPECTIONS

A visual survey of the general HRSG condition, external casing, internal gas-side mechanical parts and auxiliary equipment. Readily accessible pressure part components are visually inspected. HISE recommends performing such a general inspection in addition to the basic inspections stipulated by local regulatory requirements.

Time frame requirement: 2 - 3 days HRSG accessibility.

ALIGNING HRSG INSPECTIONS FOR OPTIMIZED AVAILABILITY

In order to prevent forced outages, periodic inspections should be conducted during scheduled outages. This allows the identification of component damage in the earliest stages - when there is still time to schedule a cost-effective repair.

HFS recommends a general inspection every 1 to 2 years and a more detailed inspection every 3 to 5 years. In order to optimize the overall plant availability, it is important to align these inspections with those of the gas turbine. Therefore, the detailed inspection should coincide with a gas turbine planned outage, e.g. the major or hot gas path inspection.

Detailed HRSG Inspections

Includes all the general inspection steps plus a more detailed visual inspection of all accessible pressure parts. This visual inspection will identify any areas of concern that require subsequent non-destructive examination (NDE) to be performed by HFS qualified NDE technician.

Time frame requirement: 4 - 6 days HRSG accessibility.

Pre-Outage

  • Walk down and punch list report based on findings and interviews
  • Thermographic survey to review casing and piping and identify leaks or faulty insulation
  • Recommendation for specialist non-destructive examinations (NDE) tasks to be performed during the detailed HRSG inspection (NDE to be performed by a qualified NDE technician)
  • Outage planning support

During the Outage

  • Supervision of repair or installation works
  • Visual inspection of Desuperheaters, blow down system, deaerator and valves
  • Review of any critical indications from the NDE inspections carried out during the detailed HRSG inspection
  • Documentation and evaluation of the inspection results, using OEM lifetime information management system database for efficient HRSG condition optimization
