1 RECOVERY BOILER WATER AND FIRE SIDE DAMAGE MECHANISMS April 2015 Western Canada BLRBAC Craig Reid, M.A.Sc., P.Eng. Acuren Group Inc., Richmond, B.C.
2 GENERAL CORROSION FAC (Alias erosion) Feedwater Piping SULFIDATION Lower furnace OXIDATION Upper furnace
3 CRACKING MECHANICAL Simple overload Mechanical and Thermal fatigue ENVIRONMENTALLY ASSISTED (EAC) Stress Corrosion Corrosion Fatigue Combination of both
4 EAC ENVIRONMENTS Feedwater oxygen Fire side gases and smelt Metal temperature STRESS Residual stress from fabrication Cyclic stress from operation Residual + Cyclic
5 RESIDUAL STRESS Cold bending Welding Thermal expansion mismatch composite tubes A major driver for cracking Water side deaerators, economizer tubes, etc. Composite tubes floors (and wall tubes which think they are floor tubes)
6 THERMAL CYCLIC STRESS Due to temperature gradients Low frequency start ups and shutdowns Important for water side cracking Higher frequency combustion at primaries Corrosion fatigue cracking in composite tubes can enter the carbon steel inner layer
7 MECHANICAL CYCLIC STRESS Low frequency Superheater platen swinging due to sootblowing Higher frequency Resonant vibration due to gas flow Screen tubes and economizer tubes depending on anti-vibration
8 Water Side Cracking Corrosion fatigue, Stress assisted corrosion (SAC) cracking It s all about oxygen (and residual stress) deaerators, economizers, steam and mud drums, boiler floor and water wall tubes attemperators, desuperheaters condensate receivers steam piping where oxygenated condensate can dwell
9 Oxygen Thresholds Pitting means oxygen has been high enough to enable cracking if the stress state can drive it
10 1983 Deaerator Storage Tank Failure Head to shell weld failed Oxygen scavenger not added to the storage tank Oxygen pitting present
11
12
13 Cracking followed the heat affected zone in the shell
14 North Head (Intact) Typical cracked length 2 long X 0.2 deep
15 DEAERATOR STORAGE TANK FAILURE ANALYSIS Officially labeled as corrosion fatigue Welding residual stress identified as the prime cause no residual stress no failure Oxygen scavenger not added in storage tank so oxygen > 5 ppb
16 ECONOMIZERS the economizer inlet often experiences transient elevated oxygen at start up Scavenge oxygen by corroding economizer tubes Transient active strain is produced by temperature gradients during boiler start up Active strain is: added to residual stress concentrated at welded attachments e.g. fins Active strain + residual stress + > 5 ppb O2 = Water side cracking
17 Mill C water side cracking RB A RB B Hog PB Gas PB 1974 Start up 1991 Lo odour added second economizer 2012 First leaks water side cracking - 11 years 1991 Start up 2002 First leaks erosion thinning of tubes at lower headers 2004 Orifice change 2006 First water side cracking leaks 15 years 1978 Start up 2003 New economizer 15 years 2012 First water side cracking leaks 9 years 1985 Start up 2007 Wall tube leaks 22 years 2012 Tube leaks at drums (Gas fired PB has a very small economizer)
18 Originally Mill C - The oxygen sins of the fathers Feedwater from DA storage to economizers (O 2 scavenger only added at steam drum) Current Feedwater from DA storage 5 ppb O 2 O 2 scavenger added to feedwater line to recovery boilers (not yet to power boilers) Boiler fill Warm treated un-deaerated feedwater Feedwater from DA after boiler steaming

28 Fluorescent magnetic particle testing revealed 40 transverse cracks 1/8" to ½" long.

42
43
44 Water Side Cracking cracking only occurs when critical values of both oxygen and active strain overlap in time. the total service time to the first leak depends on the number of start ups a year and the time during each start up when the critical combination of oxygen and strain occurs. Residual stress promotes cracking So stress relieve wherever practical
45 Gotaverken 1500 psig design
46 Bend 57 after grit blast cleaning. The surfaces displayed only superficial oxygen pitting and there was no evidence of under deposit corrosion.
47 Bend 57 after magnetic particle testing. Crack indications were found at the surface mandrel scarring.
48 The major crack extends from oxygen pitting. One adjacent crack had been blunted by pitting while another had not.
49
50 warm de-oxygenated water used for boiler fill in cross section the cracking is not classic water side cracking i.e. oxide filled wide cracks but cracks do initiate at superficial water side pits steaming rate increased from 585,000 lbs/hour in 1987 to 700,000 lbs/hour in 2012 speculate there are significant cyclic stresses during operation recommended all bends be replaced using stress relieved panels installed by welding membrane to membrane so no welding on the tubes
