General HRSG Inspection
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. HFS 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 Inspection
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.
