Re-powering Study for the Northport <strong>and</strong> Port Jefferson Power Stations<br />
<strong>Appendix</strong> II Northport System Descriptions<br />
storage tank. The recirculation line is designed for single pump operation. Therefore, the duration of twopump<br />
operation should be limited when in the minimum recirculation mode.<br />
The condensate storage tank level is controlled by make-<strong>up</strong> <strong>and</strong> draw-off. Condensate storage tank make<strong>up</strong><br />
is provided by normal make-<strong>up</strong> <strong>and</strong> the high-capacity start-<strong>up</strong> make-<strong>up</strong> control valves which control<br />
demineralized water flow into individual condensate storage tank connections in response to condensate<br />
storage tank low level. Both make-<strong>up</strong> control valves direct demineralized water directly into the<br />
condensate storage tank to ensure the condensate pump suction source.<br />
In response to high tank level, the draw-off control valve directs condensate pump discharge to the plant<br />
equipment drains.<br />
A sampling connection is provided on the condensate pump discharge to monitor water chemistry.<br />
Chemicals controlling pH <strong>and</strong> oxygen are injected into the condensate discharge piping <strong>up</strong>stream of the<br />
air ejectors <strong>and</strong> gl<strong>and</strong> steam condenser to maintain water chemistry.<br />
The control system is designed to automatically start the st<strong>and</strong>by pump when the condensate header<br />
pressure becomes low. The condensate pump(s) will automatically trip if the condenser hot well level<br />
drops below a minimum acceptable level.<br />
2.8 Feedwater<br />
Refer toPID-06-1A <strong>and</strong> PID-06-01B in <strong>Appendix</strong> III.<br />
The feedwater system has two feedwater pumps for each HRSG. The two 100% capacity, segmental ring<br />
feedwater pumps are each fitted with an adjustable speed fluid co<strong>up</strong>ling <strong>and</strong> driven by a constant speed<br />
motor. The pumps take suction from the LP drum of the related HRSG. The pump discharge feeds the<br />
relevant HRSG’s HP system. Each pump has an interstage bleed that feeds the relevant IP system. The<br />
pump suction lines each contain a manual gate valve, pressure <strong>and</strong> temperature instrumentation, <strong>and</strong> a<br />
d<strong>up</strong>lex basket strainer with a differential pressure transmitter to provide indication <strong>and</strong> a high alarm on<br />
the distributed control system (DCS).<br />
2.8.1 High Pressure Feedwater<br />
Each feedwater pump HP discharge line is provided with an automatic recirculation (ARC) valve <strong>and</strong> a<br />
manual gate valve. The ARC valve automatically maintains the required minimum flow through the pump<br />
by recirculating water back to the HRSG LP drum. The recirculation line has a (spring-loaded) backpressure<br />
regulator valve <strong>and</strong> a gate valve.<br />
The feedwater pump HP discharge line connects to the HRSG HP economizer inlet. The line has a branch<br />
for LP drum filling, a sample connection, a branch to the HRSG HP s<strong>up</strong>erheater attemperator, <strong>and</strong> a<br />
branch to the main steam bypass valve. The HP s<strong>up</strong>erheater attemperator spray branch has a manual block<br />
valve, a flow element <strong>and</strong> transmitter for DCS flow indication. The main steam bypass des<strong>up</strong>erheater<br />
branch has a manual block valve.<br />
Downstream of the branch connections, the HP feedwater line connects to the HP economizer. The line<br />
contains a drum level control valve, with manual isolation valves <strong>and</strong> a manual bypass valve. Upstream<br />
of the control valve are a flow element with flow transmitter, a pressure transmitter, <strong>and</strong> a temperature<br />
indicator. The flow signal, along with drum level <strong>and</strong> steam flow signals, is used to position the drum<br />
level control valve. A pressure transmitter is provided downstream of the drum level control valve.<br />
