THERMAL POWER PROJECT (FGUTPP)

Foundation stone was laid by Late Prime Minister

Mrs.Indira
GandhiinJune1981.
First two units of 210MW were commissioned on
21stNovember, 1988 and 22ndMarch, 1989 by U.P.

COAL HANDLING PLANT

The fuel used in the thermal power plants in the boiler furnace is coal.
Coal undergoes various processes like separation, crushing, etc and is
then finally moved to the furnace in the form of pulverised coal.

Coal: it is a mixture of organic chemicals and mineral materials produced

by natural process of growth and decay. The chemical properties of any
coal depend upon the proportions of different chemicals components
present in it. There are four types of coal:
Peat
Lignite
Bituminous Coal
Anthracite

COAL CYCLE
C.H.P Plant Bunker R.C Feeder pulverize mill
Boiler section

R.C. Feeder -: it is induction motor driven device, which

determine the Quantity of coal enter in to pulverize mill
Ball mill: - A ball mill operates normally under suction. A
large drum partly filled with steel balls, is used in this mill.
The drum is rotated slowly while coal is fed in to it. The ball
pulverizes the coal by crushing. This type of mill is used in
stage -1.

BOILER DRUM:Boiler drum consist two chamber water chambers, steam chamber. Before entering in super heater the steam is going in
to boiler drum, where the boiler drum filtered the moisture and stored in to water chamber.
SUPER HEATER:The function of super heater is to remove the last traces of moisture from the saturated steam leaving the water tube
boiler. The temperature is approx 5300 c.
TURBINE:Steam turbine converts the heat energy in to mechanical energy and drives on initial and final heat content of the steam.
Turbine having number of stage in which the pressure drops takes place.

STEAM PRODUCTION
After all the coal is fed to the RC feeder from RC bunker where the coal
comes from the coal handling plant whose size is -20mm. then this
coal goes to the mill for further crushing. The coal is further crushed
and takes the form of talcum powder. This coal is hence called
pulverised coal. The coal mills are HT induction motors. Coal feeders
are used to transport the coal from RC bunker to the mill. The
advantages of using pulverised coal are that it is easily combustible
and pulverisation increases the surface area for combustion and
hence the thermal efficiency increases.
In stage-I 4 mills are used which feed 4 elevations out of 6 which run
simultaneously.
In stage-II 2 mills are used which feed 4 elevations out of 6 in the
furnace

Here three stages of turbine are used:

1.HP turbine (high pressure)
)2.IP turbine (intermediate pressure)
3.LP turbine (low pressure
