The furnace has been shut down for a year; what inspections are mandatory before restarting it? Are there any relevant regulations? Thank you
Reliability of gas systems: isolation and interlock systems； Instrument calibration: Calibration of on-site and remote devices for temperature, negative pressure, etc ； Inspection of the furnace body: integrity of the furnace walls/fireproof turn/fiber blocks, integrity of the flue ducts and air ducts, integrity and flow condition of the burners, integrity of auxiliary equipment (fans, dampers), integrity of safety accessories (explosion-proof doors, etc.). That’s all I can think of; I’m not sure if there are any specific regulatory requirements
The gentleman above has provided a response; I will put it from another perspective: follow the original startup procedures for the furnace. The startup procedures and inspection requirements vary depending on the type of gasification furnace technology. In line with the principles of safe operation, it is necessary to adhere to the original startup procedures. The main aspects include: mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation systems; interlocks (control interlocks, field interlocks); various valves (safety valves, control valves, electric valves, gate valves, etc.); utility systems (water, electricity, heating, ventilation, air); the integrity of main and auxiliary equipment; pumps; and various systems (gas system, water system, hydraulic system, nitrogen system, etc.). In short, everything needs to be reviewed once again to ensure safety and reliability. Please point out any issues
