3.3 Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site,
particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted.
No other alternative site identified/considered as selected site found techno-economically
and environmentally feasible for development of proposed project.
3.4 Size or magnitude of operation
The proposed biomass based thermal power plant has capacity of 18 MW based on 100%
paddy straw. The proposed project cover 106553.73 Sq.M (26.33Acres) of land & the
project cost is 141.25 Crore.
3.5Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/ flow chart
showing the project layout, components of the project etc. Should be given).
Power generation process is based on combustion technology with Rankine Steam cycle.
For Power generation in thermal power plant is achieved by steam generation at high
temperature and pressure which is then used to run a turbine to generate electricity. Paddy
straw will used as fuel for steam generation. Steam generation requires heating
demineralized water in the boiler at high temperature and pressure. Steam at high
temperature 540 ̊C and high pressure (95 Kg/cm2) is fed to rotate the turbine to generate
power. Spent steam is converted into condensate by cooling in heat exchanger. Cooling
water used in heat exchanger is cooled in the cooling tower.
Paddy Straw for generation of 1 Kw-Hr Power, the same has been estimated at 1.20 kg. This
has been based on Boiler efficiency of 75%, Station Heat Rate of 2313.25 Kcal/Kw-Hr
requirement of Steam for generation of 1 Mw-Hr of Power has been estimated at 3.805
TPH. Thus for generating 18 MW Power, total hourly requirement of Steam comes to 3.805
x 18 =68.49 TPH. As against this, MCR of Boiler is 80 TPH. The detail description of
process is attached in Annexure 1.

5. TECHNOLOGY SELECTION

Bio-mass

5.1 Bio-mass is the agricultural residue coming out after the main crop is cultivated
or processed. Bio-mass comprising of several agricultural residues and woods
has emerged as an non-conventional source of energy in the country.

5.2 Bio-mass has always been an important energy source for the country
considering the benefits it offers. Bio-mass is renewable, widely available,
Carbon neutral and has the potential to provide significant employment in the
rural area. Bio-mass is also capable of providing firm energy. Further, Biomass is
a clean fuel & environmentally benign as compared to conventional fuel.

5.3 Basically there are 2 technologies available for producing electrical energy from
Bio-mass. These are :

(i) Combustion Technology using Rankine Cycle


(ii) Gasification Process using Auto Cycle

Combustion Technology

5.4 In Combustion Technology, Bio-mass is burnt in a Boiler to produce steam. This


is the most commonly used technology for producing power from Bio-mass. The
advantage is that the technology use is similarly to that of a thermal plant base
on fossil fuel like Coal, except for the Boiler. The Cycle used is conventional
Rankine Cycle with Bio-mass being burnt in high pressure Boiler to generate
steam and operate a Turbine with generated steam to produce electricity.

5.5 In Combustion technology with Biomass, primarily 2 types of Boilers are used
viz Grate Boiler & Atmospheric Fludised Bed Combustion (AFBC) Boiler. The
selection of Boiler depends on type of Bio-mass used for firing the Boiler.

Gasification Process

5.6 Under gasification process, Bio-gas consisting about 52% Methane is generated
through Fermentation of Bio & Agro Residue/waste in a Digester and burning
the gas generated in a Gas engine coupled with an A.C. Generator to produce
Electricity. The process is called Auto Cycle.

PROJECT & MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS
Sukhbir Agro Energy Limited
TEV Study for 18 MW Biomass Project
(Rice Straw Based) at Faridkot
88
5.7 Process for generation of Electricity from Bio-Gas in an Auto Cycle Plant is
summarised below :

5.7.1 To generate Electricity from Bio-gas , the steps that must be gone through are twofold,
chemical energy to mechanical energy and then from mechanical energy to electrical
energy.

5.7.2 For these conversion processes to be achieved, a suitable Engine which shall be used for
the generation of electricity from bio-gas digester is required.

5.7.3 The Bio-gas produced from the digester is slightly above the atmospheric pressure and
needs to be compressed to approximately 150 m bar in a radial gas compressor to feed
to the engine.

5.7.4 A gas engine is similar to an automobile car engine. It is an internal combustion engine
which will burn the methane to convert the chemical bond energy of the gas to heat
energy expanding the gases within the piston, driving the drive shaft and producing
mechanical energy.

5.7.5 The mechanical energy in the rotating drive shaft is then coupled into an electrical
generator.

5.7.6 The mechanical energy is utilized to drive the AC (alternating current) generator giving
electricity. Of course, the generator also has to be connected into an electrical power
distribution grid, and to save on power loss during transmission through the cables the
voltage is raised in a step-up transformer.

5.7.7 A Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system is always worth considering. The idea of
CHP is that, it uses the hot water otherwise wasted when the excess heat is cooled before
it can go back into the circuit.

5.8 Auto Cycle Plants did not gain popularity in the country. Also Cost / MW of
Auto Cycle Plant is higher as compared to Rankine Cycle Plant. Further as Auto
Cycle Plant did not gain popularity in India, for setting up of Auto Cycle Plant
foreign collaboration / assistance is required.

Technology Selected

5.9 As Combustion Technology is a standard technology in the country for


producing Power from Bio-mass, SAEL proposes to adept Combustion
Technology within Rankine Cycle process. Further, the Company is having
considerable experience in operation of 2 Nos. Bio-mass Power Plant of capacity
same as that which SAEL proposes to install, selection of Combustion
Technology is considered to be appropriate.

5.10 However, while utilizing Combustion Technology, selection of Boiler assumes


importance. Selection of Boiler depends on the major Bio-mass to be used in the
Plant for firing. For the subject Plant, Boiler is propose to be fired with 100%
Paddy Straw.

5.11 SAEL, in consultation with major Boiler manufacturing company i.e. DP Clean
Tech, Shanghai Power Equipment Research Institute Co. Ltd, BWSC has decided
to install one number Single Drum, natural Circulation, Balanced Draft , Water
Tube Biomass fired. Travelling Grate, Spreader Stoker Boiler suitable for steam
output capacity of 80 tons per hour at 95 Kg/ cm2 (g) pressure and steam
temperature of 5400C, all measured at Superheater outlet at boiler MCR
(Maximum Continuous Rating).

5.12 SAEL will decide on vendor for supply of Travelling Grate Boiler capable of
accepting 100% Paddy Straw firing in due course. For that purpose SAEL is
negotiating with reputed vendors like, DP Clean Tech, Shanghai Power
Equipment Research Institute Co. Ltd, BWSC etc.

Advantages of Travelling Grate Stoker

5.13 Advantages of Travelling Grate Stoker are given below:

Insensitive to fuel size.

Fuel containing maximum moisture can be successfully burnt.

Rapid load swings can be accommodated due to large inventory of the fuel on the
grate.

Simple control.

Robust construction with minimum maintenance, hence high operating reliability.

Simple and rapid installation.

Low power consumption.

Efficient fuel feeding system using hydraulically actuated feed piston and divergent
hoppers

Boiler Plant Design

5.14 The steam boiler is designed for firing various types of straws mainly paddy
straw. The boiler plant design is based on Boiler Manufacturer’s experience with
biomass fuels.

5.15 The fuel is introduced in the furnace through water cooled stoker ducts. The size
of the combustion grate and the size and geometry of the combustion chamber,
with respective combustion air nozzles, is designed with the aim of ensuring the
complete combustion of the biomass fuel.

5.16 The boiler and the combustion grate are based on the bottom support design,
simplifying the design of the sealing between the vibration grate and the boiler
walls. The flue gas outlet of the boiler is connected to a separate tower with
economizer and air preheater.

5.17 The combustion air is preheated in order to provide a more stable combustion
process and to improve the overall boiler efficiency.

5.18 The spacing (pitch) between the heat surface tubes in the hanging super heater
in the first pass is adapted to allow for the formation of deposits (scaling)
known to form on the tubes due to the relatively low melting temperature of
straw ash. The design and materials are specifically selected to counteract the
high temperature corrosion related to straw firing.

5.19 All connections in the steam boiler will be fully welded. No tubes will be
pressure expanded.

5.20 The boiler convection pass, economizer are cleaned with steam soot blowers.

Combustion process

5.21 The combustion process involves a number of physical / chemical aspects of


high complexity. The nature of the combustion process depends both on the fuel
properties and the combustion applications. However, it can be separated into
four different phases (drying, pyrolysis, gasification and combustion). In large
scale applications, with continuous fuel feeding, these processes will occur in
different sections of the grate.

Straw Feeding System

5.22 The straw feeding system has the following functions:

5.22.1 It shall loosen the straw from the compressed layers of the straw bales and allow the
formation of a uniform straw feed, filling out the stoker ducts and proceeding into the
boiler combustion zone.

5.22.2 It shall ensure a constant feeding of the straw corresponding to the desired boiler load
irrespective of the compression of the straw bales.

5.22.3 It shall ensure that any risk of fire from the furnace back into the straw lines is
contained.

5.22.4 From the scarifier screws, the separated straw falls down into the stoker screws, which
push the straw into the stoker ducts and into the furnace. The stoker ducts are water-
cooled not only to withstand the heat of the furnace but also to limit the heat
transported back to the straw feed system when the straw line is stopped.

5.22.5 To minimize any fire hazard, the straw feeding system includes a number of separate
fire protection barriers:

5.22.6 Any operating straw line will operate at a minimum speed to avoid risk of backfires
during normal operation.

5.22.7 A water-cooled damper is installed at the inlet of each stoker duct which, when the
straw feed is stopped, will compress the straw in the duct. This measure will reduce the
speed with which any potential backfire that may spread.

5.22.8 Also, when a straw feed line is stopped, water nozzles in the duct and at the inlet of the
stoker screws will soak the straw. These systems are normally fully sufficient to avoid
any spreading of fire.

5.22.9 The chute from the scarifier screw to the stoker screws is provided with a fire damper,
which closes when a straw line is stopped. Furthermore, the area is provided with
water nozzles connected to the plant firewater system, which will open if high
temperatures are detected.

5.22.10 The straw lines to the scarifier screws are internally protected by a sprinkling system
connected to the plant firewater system.
5.22.11 The feeding lines and scarifiers shall be indoor.
5.22.12 From the straw bale scarifiers, the straw enters the stoker screws, where a set of double
screws pushes the straw into the water cooled stoker duct and into the furnace. The
stoker ducts are provided with compression plates (“dynamic dollies”) which ensure that
the stoker ducts are filled with straw in a uniform compression.

Slag and Ash System

Slag Hopper after Grate

5.23 At the lower end of the grate the slag and bottom ash from the combustion will
be collected in a hopper and dropped to the Wet submerged slag conveyor. The
hopper will be provided with refractory, protecting it from the radiation of the
furnace. An inspection and cleaning door will be built into the hopper.

Submerged Slag Conveyor

5.24 At the lower end of the grate the slag and bottom ash from the combustion will
be collected in a hopper and dropped to the Wet submerged slag conveyor. The
hopper will be provided with refractory, protecting it from the radiation of the
furnace. An inspection and cleaning door will be built into the hopper.

5.25 The conveyor extracts the slag from the water bath and delivers it to the pit.

5.26 The conveyor belt is tightened at the drive shaft. This adjustment is made by
loosening the locking device and manually adjusting the tightening screws.

5.27 The scrapers of the slag conveyor are provided with zinc anodes to limit
corrosion.

5.28 Due to water evaporation caused by the hot slag, there will be a constant need
for refilling the conveyor system with water. The water control is carried out by a
fully automatic control system mounted on the slag conveyor.

Transport of Slag after Submerged Conveyor

5.29 The slag is transported by a conveyor belt to a pit at end of slag conveyor.

5.30 A pit for collecting water from the slag conveyor, as well as for draining the
intermediate storage area for the slag is recommended. The water collected in
this pit may be used for refilling the slag conveyor, reducing the required
amount of separately added water.

Heating surface cleaning systems

5.31 The steam boiler is equipped with a heating surface cleaning system. This system
consists of steam soot blowers for superheaters the economizer and the air
preheater.

5.32 The soot blowers located in the areas with high flue gas temperature will be of
the fully retractable type. The soot blowers in the economizer and air preheater
area will be semi- retractable. During operation, the soot blowers will rotate and
move in the longitudinal direction, making the steam from the nozzles on the soot
blower intercept the heat surfaces cleaning them.

5.33 Soot blowing sequences are anticipated to occur three times per day, or one
sequence for each operator shift. The soot blowing steam is taken from the
turbine’s first extraction, with a pressure of approximately 25 bar(a).

5.34 A local PLC for control of the different steam soot blowers according to the
selected cleaning program is included. The start of the desired soot blowing
program will be initiated from the central control system.
