100 MW requires approx. 7 lacs MTPA coal annually = 2.94 lac MT ash annually
(Considering 42% ash in coal)
Water through HCSD to handle above quantity of ash:
(67/100) X 294000= 197000
Approx.=197000 cum/yr
(40 ton water required to dispose 60 ton ash)
Water through Conventional system to handle above quantity of ash:

Accidents like ash pond breakages may occur with disastrous consequences
Water from the pond leaches into the ground water system
Slurry requires high velocity to prevent settlement, hence high wear & tear of the pipes
Initial cost is lower but cost of water consumption and land required is very high per
tonnage. Also the power consumption cost is very high.
Very few plants have such system. 2-3 outside India and one at NTPC - Dadri
Requires long belt conveyor system to transfer ash, stackers, sprinkling, dozers,
compacting equipments
Ash has to be very timely consolidated to avoid fly off by strong winds creating massive
air pollution
During monsoon, water collection system is required at periphery thru drains to prevent
out flow of contaminated ash
This is the latest technology developed over last 15 20 years. With its perfection new
generation power plants can enjoy its benefits. Also existing plants can be converted to
this new concept
Water consumption is very low. No water retaining structure is required for the pond,
except for a small toe dyke for rain water collection
Power consumption is comparable to Dry ash mound type disposal & much lower than
the conventional system
Due to cementing properties of fly ash, the ash density at ash pond is much higher by 20
30%, Hence that much extra ash can be stored per unit area
Ash pond height can be above 100Mtrs giving a massive storage per unit area
Slurry is highly viscous & soft, hence less abrasive. It conveys at 60 65% of velocity of
conventional system. Hence wear is very low and pipe line rarely requires any
replacement
Initial cost is slightly higher by 15 20% which will be recovered in few months on
account of lower power consumption. Additionally cost of water consumption and land
required is very low per tonnage
