Re-powering Study for the Northport <strong>and</strong> Port Jefferson Power Stations<br />

<strong>Appendix</strong> II Northport System Descriptions<br />

The auxiliary boiler for each option is a natural gas fired watertube packaged boiler with an integral<br />

s<strong>up</strong>erheater. The auxiliary boiler is equipped with single or double low-NOX burners, a forced draft fan<br />

<strong>and</strong> a stack. The following ratings apply to the auxiliary boiler:<br />

• Boiler Capacity – To be determined<br />

• Design Pressure – 300 psig<br />

• Operating Pressure –160 psig<br />

• SH Steam Temperature – 520°F<br />

• Feedwater Temperature - 228°F<br />

The auxiliary boiler system is s<strong>up</strong>plied with s<strong>up</strong>port equipment including a deaerator, feedwater pumps,<br />

blowdown tank, chemical feed equipment, instrumentation <strong>and</strong> associated control system for independent<br />

operation.<br />

2.5.2 Auxiliary Steam Attemperating Valves<br />

The main steam <strong>and</strong> the cold reheat auxiliary steam attemperating valve conditions s<strong>up</strong>erheated main<br />

steam to maintain a nominal pressure of 160 psig at a temperature of approximately 420°F. The<br />

condensate system provides attemperating water spray via a temperature control valve to maintain the<br />

required steam conditions at setpoint.<br />

2.5.3 Air Ejectors<br />

Steam jet air ejectors are used to remove non-condensable air <strong>and</strong> gases from the condenser during<br />

normal holding operation. Two holding ejectors steam jet air ejectors are provided. For start <strong>up</strong>, a liquid<br />

ring vacuum pump will be used for hogging (start <strong>up</strong>). The hogging vacuum pump is used for initial<br />

evacuation of the condenser <strong>and</strong> the holding ejectors are used to maintain the condenser at full vacuum<br />

during operation. Each holding ejector is sized for 100% operation utilizing auxiliary steam as the motive<br />

through a steam nozzle producing a high-velocity jet of steam that induces vacuum conditions to pull out<br />

non-condensable gases from the non-condensable collection zone within the condenser.<br />

The holding ejectors are each full capacity two-stage ejectors with a surface type inter-condenser between<br />

the first <strong>and</strong> second stage along with a second stage discharge condenser. The condensate system provides<br />

cooling water for the ejector <strong>and</strong> to maintain the inter-condenser loop seal. The SJAE condensers are<br />

small heat exchangers in a common shell that condense the motive steam <strong>and</strong> allow the non-condensable<br />

gases to be expelled to atmosphere. The steam s<strong>up</strong>ply requirements for the holding ejector is 900 lb/hr at<br />

150 psig.<br />

The electric powered hogging vacuum pump is a single stage design <strong>and</strong> is only in service during initial<br />

start<strong>up</strong>. The hogging pump exhausts to atmosphere.<br />
