Steam (Thermal) Power Plant
Coal and Ash circuit
Pulverised coal from the storage area
(called stack) is taken to the boiler by
means of coal handling equipment such as
belt conveyors, bucket elevators etc.
Note : A thermal power plant of 400 MW
capacity requires 5000 to 6000 tonnes of
coal per day.
After the pulverised coal is burnt at 15000C
to 20000C by combustion it gets collected
in the ash pit.
It is removed from the ash pit by ash
handling systems like belt conveyors, screw
conveyors etc.
Note : A thermal power plant of 400 MW
capacity requires 10 hectares area per year
if ash is damped to a height of 6.5 metres.
