The basic layout of Coal Handling Plant is shown by block diagram. The coal is unloaded at various unloading station and transported by conveyors to crushing and screening plant via transfer house. After crushing required quantity of coal is transported to bunker via transfer house and remaining coal is stored in stockyard. This coal is reclaimed as per requirement. From the bunker the coal flows through coal mills to boiler furnace. The main aim of CHP to maintain level of coal in bunkers for smooth coal supply to boiler There are different streams for transporting of coal. For caring out preventive maintenance schedule one of the stream kept under shutdown. If at the same time breakdown occurs in a machine in other stream, which interrupt the coal supply to boilers. Due this loss of generation will occur. A plant, which supply of coal to boilers having capacity of 750 tons per hour failed to fulfill need will loss generation of 0.6 MU for one hour. This cost 1.20 Crore of Rupees. Technical Details CRUSHER HOUSE No. of Crusher Four (4) Nos. Type of Crusher Ring Hammer Type Capacity 1000 MTPH Max.

The major phases and stages where water quality is measured are discussed in this application note along with the parameters measured. Raw water contains organic matter, inorganic salts, bacteria which need to be removed before being fed to the boiler. It follows the three major steps for the purification of raw water Disinfection by Chlorination In this stage, microbiological organism is removed from the water before it is further purified or processed. Softening of Water In this stage, the hardness producing inorganic materials like Calcium and Magnesium are removed from the water. Because these substance can cause more consumption of fuel, caustic embrittlement of the boiler leading to blast of boiler. Here Lime soda process is followed where calcium is precipitated into Chapter 1: Chhattisgarh State Power Generation Co. Ltd.
Communication Skills Report Page 25
carbonates and Magnesium into magnesium hydroxide. These are then settled and filtered. Dechlorination of Water It is the process of removing residual chlorine from disinfected wastewater prior to use it. Sulfur dioxide is most commonly used for dechlorination. This is done either by o Carbon bed which is not that much effective, or o Addition of bisulphate, later removed by Anion exchange process.

Ash Handling Plant Ash is the residue left after the coal is incinerated. In Thermal Power Plants coal is generally used as fuel and hence the ash is produced as the byproduct of Combustion. Ash generated in power plant is about 30-40% of total coal consumption and hence the system is required to handle Ash for its proper utilization or disposal. Ash generated in the ESP which got carried out with the flue gas is generally called Fly ash. Around 80% is the value of fly ash generated. It also consists of Air pre heater ash & Economizer ash (it is about 2 % of the total ash content). Ash generated below furnace of the steam generator is called the bottom ash. Bottom ash (Bottom ash is 20% of the ash generated).

Fuel handling and storage problems can limit the efficiency of the entire boiler. SOLID FUELS Solid fuels (including coal, wood, and solid waste) present some of the same handling difficulties. Problems occur unless a free-flowing, continuous supply of fuel that is properly sized for the specific type of combustion equipment is provided. The problems include sizing, shredding or pulverizing, consistency of moisture content, freezing or lumping, dusting, fires in storage due to Chapter 1: Chhattisgarh State Power Generation Co. Ltd.
Communication Skills Report Page 34
spontaneous combustion, and fires in the feed or ash handling systems. Most problems can be minimized or eliminated through proper selection of fuel handling equipment. Specific types of equipment for handling, storage, and preparation depend on the characteristics of the solid fuel used. Because the proper equipment is not always available, fuel additives or aids have been used in the attempt to minimize problems. These additives include grinding aids, moisture improvers, dusting aids, freezing inhibitors, and catalysts to minimize combustibles in ash and fly ash handling systems. LIQUID FUELS Liquid fuels include waste oils, light oils, heavy oils, and other combustible liquids. Because of the problems of liquid residue disposal, an increasing variety of combustible liquids is being considered and tested. Figures 20-1 and 20-2 illustrate key components found in a typical liquid fuel handling system and fuel oil storage system, respectively. Problems encountered in the handling, storage, and preparation of liquid fuels include water contamination, sludge formation, resistance to flow, biological growths, instability, and corrosiveness. Generally, these conditions are manifested as excessive strainer plugging, poor flow, increased loading on the fuel pump, heater deposits, fuel line deposits, loss of storage space, burner tip deposits, burner fouling, leakage due to storage tank corrosion, poor atomization, and other combustion problems. Table 20-1 summarizes the nature and cause of problems associated with key liquid fuel handling system components. Compressed Air System Air compressors are used to supply process requirements, to operate pneumatic tools and equipment, and to meet instrumentation needs. Only 10- 30% of energy reaches the point of end-use, and balance 70- Chapter 1: Chhattisgarh State Power Generation Co. Ltd.

90% of energy of the power of the prime mover being converted to unusable heat energy and to a lesser extent lost in form of friction, misuse and noise. Compressors are broadly classified as: Positive displacement compressor and Dynamic compressor. o Positive displacement compressors increase the pressure of the gas by reducing the volume. Positive displacement compressors are further classified as reciprocating and rotary compressors. o Dynamic compressors increase the air velocity, which is then converted to increased pressure at the outlet. Dynamic compressors are basically centrifugal compressors and are further classified as radial and axial flow types.

EQUIPMENT COOLING SYSTEM Thermoelectric power plants boil water to create steam, which then spins turbines to generate electricity. The heat used to boil water can come from burning of a fuel, from nuclear reactions, or directly from the sun or geothermal heat sources underground. Once steam has passed through a turbine, it must be cooled back into water before it can be reused to produce more electricity. Colder water cools the steam more effectively and allows more efficient electricity generation. ECW Pumps (D.M.

the earliest. It may surprise you to know that this (black starting!) is not an easy task. Once a generator is tripped, restarting it requires a significant amount of power. Power is required for 2 types of activities: o Survival Power: For emergency lighting, battery chargers etc. Usually the requirement is 0.3% of the generator capacity. o Startup Power: For starting power plant auxiliaries (pumps etc.) Interestingly, nuclear and thermal units require approximately 8 % of the unit capacity for auxiliaries alone! Therefore, a 500 MW generator requires approximately 40 MW for running its auxiliaries.

Fire Fighting System Fire is big threat and cause loss to human life and property. However, disasters due to fire normally remains localized to a particular installation until and unless tripping of the entire power plant causes disturbance in the transmission grid by way of over loading and leading to tripping of other power stations/ transmission lines connected with the grid. The most common cause of the fires is known to be electrical short circuits and fire triggered by the inflammable materials. The damages caused by the fire accidents generally take excessive time for restoration. Analysis of causes of fire incidents reveal that majority of the fires could perhaps be prevented and extent of damage minimized, if fire safety measures were strictly enforced. Early detection of fire and swiftness in fighting it can definitely turn major disaster to minor accidents. In power sector accidents taking place on account of human error or due to malfunctioning of any equipment are also causes of crisis situations. In this plant the following equipments are installed for fire-fighting Sprinkler System Jockey Pump Hydrant System with Booster Pump Air Condition System It is another method equipment cooling in the power station.
