The LP economiser lower header on a HRSG ruptured shortly after a diverter damper incident. Tetra was approached by the client to investigate the possible root causes for the rupture. The unit went into single element control at the time of the incident and the LCV cycled through fully open / fully closed positions to maintain the drum level after “shrink”. When the damper re-opened the LCV remained closed as the drum level increased (swell). The economizer temperature increased and there was an associated increase in pressure. The safety valve failed to operate as it was accidentally gagged, causing serious over pressurisation and a burst header.
