1. OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this document is to ensure the safe operation of the Power Plant during safety valve
testing.
The safety valve testing will be conducted by means of a Hydraulic test device.
No live testing will be conducted and therefore no gagging of safety valves will be necessary. This
testing method ensures maximum safety regarding overpressure of steam systems.
It is not the intention of this document to interfere in the detailed test procedure and mechanical
adjustments to be made at the Safety Valves itself, which is clearly in the HRSG Safety Valve
Supplier’s scope.
2. SCOPE OF APPLICATION
This document is valid for the Tambak Lorok Combined Cycle Power Plant Block 3 Project.
• HRSG HP parts:
o Cold reheat steam inlet safety valves No.1 & No.2: LBC30AA190/191
• HRSG IP parts:
• HRSG LP parts:
3. RESPONSIBILITIES
The Operation of the Plant during the safety valves testing is under the responsibility of the GE
Commissioning Lead Engineer.
GE personnel will operate the plant at a load/pressure level according to the requirements from the
safety valve Company responsible.
The safety valve company responsible is in charge for the execution of the safety valve testing by
means of a Hydraulic Test device.
The HRSG commissioning lead engineer has to organize and coordinate all activities.
The HRSG safety valve supplier responsible is liable for the execution of the safety valve testing by
means of a Hydraulic Test device.
3.2. The HRSG commissioning lead engineer has to organize and coordinate all activities
The HRSG safety valve supplier responsible is liable for the execution of the safety valve testing by
means of a Hydraulic Test device.

The User should understand the following symbols used within this document:
DANGER
Danger indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most
extreme situations.
WARNING
Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION
Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury.
It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
Note
Note indicates an important instruction or the best practices
It may also be used to alert against mechanical damage to the equipment
6. SAFETY
The project EHS policy must strictly be followed during all safety valve test activities.
High noise levels could be generated during the safety valve testing and therefore test team
personnel must wear ear protection throughout the whole safety valve adjustment and testing
process.
6.2.1. HP System
In case of HP bypass failure and therefore increase of HP system pressure a GT trip will be initiated.
These protection measures are already implemented in the control logic and no temporary I & C
modifications are required.
In case of IP bypass failure and therefore increase of pressure in the Reheat and IP system, GT trip
will be initiated when HRH inlet or outlet pressure exceeds the set point value. The HP bypass CRH
max pressure limiter will close the HP bypass valve and limit the pressure within the CRH system
(HP Bypass Control Valve has to be in automatic).
Note
Should for any reason the pressure in a circuit (HP, IP, LP) rise above protection level and the
plant is still in operation (no PLS or TRIP initiated), then the GT’s have to be manually tripped
over the push button in the control.
7. TEST PREPARATION
7.1. Preconditions
• All temporary cleaning equipment removed. The plant must be restored as for permanent
operation.
• All safety valves, exhaust pipe, drain lines and silencer must be inspected for integrity. Check
especially the concordance between valve location, serial number and quality documentation.
• Plant protection must be tested and fully available. All measurements relevant for protection
must commissioned and fully operational.
• All necessary public and local authorities are notified of potential high noise emissions.
The Power Plant shall be operated in Bypass operation in the proper range capacity in order to
have sufficient system base pressure, allowing conducting the valve adjustments and testing.
For each safety valve test, the required test pressure is to be defined in relation with its set point
according to the HRSG Safety Valve Supplier’s Test Procedure. Verify that the latest confirmed
revision regarding set pressure of safety valve is considered.
The testing sequence should in any case be defined and agreed between all involved parties
prior starting testing activities.
Communication between the testing crew and the operators in the control room has to be
ensured.
The GE Commissioning Lead Engineer for the Water and Steam Cycle does ensure that the
power plant is always operated within allowed operating ranges and protective equipment is
fully active.
DANGER
• Under no circumstances, the protective software measures of the power plant protection
matrix shall be deactivated, nor forced or simulated!
• Under no circumstances, the safety valves of the HRSG shall be mechanically forced to closed,
blind flanged, nor blocked in any kind!
• All Protection equipment shall be fully active throughout the whole testing/adjustment
period of the safety valves!
For the testing of the HP safety valves the required system pressure is approx. 75% of the set
pressure:
o For the 1st HP Separator Safety Valve (HAH50AA190) the recommended testing pressure
is 162.75 barg (217 barg*0.75).
o For the 2nd HP Separator Safety Valve (HAH50AA191) the recommended testing pressure
is 167.62 barg (223.5 barg*0.75).
o For the HP Superheater Outlet Safety Valve (LBA50AA190) the recommended testing
pressure is 153.37 barg (204.5 barg*0.75).
Set the GT load to a value that the resulting steam pressure is near the desired values. Try e.g. GT
hold point (HP4).
If needed, adjust the steam pressure via the HP bypass set point station (Control valve in automatic
mode).
Increase the GT load in case the HP Bypass control valve reaches the minimum opening of approx.
50%.
For the testing of the reheater safety valves the required system pressure is approx. 75% of the set
pressure:
o For the 1st reheater inlet safety valves (LBC30AA190), the recommended testing pressure
is 31.42 barg (41.9 barg*0.75)
o For the 2nd reheater inlet safety valves (LBC30AA191), the recommended testing pressure
is 32.4 barg (43.2 barg*0.75)
o For the reheater outlet safety valves (LBB40AA190), the recommended testing pressure is
30.75 barg (41 barg *0.75)
Set the GT load to a value that the resulting steam pressure is near the desired values. Try e.g. GT

32.25 barg (43 barg*0.75)
Set the GT load to a value that the resulting steam pressure is near the desired values. Try e.g. GT
hold point (HP4).
If needed, adjust the steam pressure via the IP bypass set point station (control valve in automatic
mode).
IP steam outlet control valve should be fully open (results from automatic control).
Increase the GT load in case the IP Bypass control valve reaches the minimum opening of approx.
50%.
For the testing of the LP safety valves the required system pressure is approx. 75% of the set
pressure:
o For the 1st LP Drum Safety Valve (HAD10AA190) the recommended testing pressure is
9.37 barg (12.5 barg * 0.75)
o For the 2nd LP Drum Safety Valve (HAD10AA191) the recommended testing pressure is
9.75 barg (12.9 barg*0.75)
o For the LP Steam Outlet Safety Valve (LBA10AA190) the recommended testing pressure is
9 barg (12 barg*0.75)

mode).
Increase the GT load in case the LP Bypass control valve reaches the minimum opening of approx.
50%.
After the Safety Valves have been successfully adjusted and tested, all temporary equipment used
for valve adjustment and testing has to be removed.
Test records (Test certificates) shall be filled out for each safety valve test.
A copy of this Test records shall be handed over to all involved parties.
