Benson bottles

Behind the boiler of unit EC 20 on startup.
Always hectic because a lot has to be done by hand, a lot of valves have to be opened and shut by hand because they are not equipped with electric drives.
This is a look up to the so-called Benson bottles, used for separation of water and steam.
This is a single pass Benson boiler with superheating and reheating.
"Sliding pressure" between 120 and 180 bar. (1740 - 2610 psi).
Maximum steamflow is 428 kg/sec.

First problem that occurred was the gasturbine not willing to start up but we solved that.
Pffff.
Hopefully the rest works well.
