COAL HANDLING PLANT
Introduction
Coal is the primary fuel for production of electricity in our country. The importance and magnitude of the business of coal handling is emphasized by the fact that more than 60% of India’s total installed generating capacity consists of coal fired stations. A 200 MW unit consumes about 2500 tones of cal everyday. Coal is transported from the collieries by the various methods viz., by rail, road, and aerial rope way or conveyor belt. After transporting the coal from coal mines to power station, coal is required to be fed to the boilers or to be stored in the storage yard and this is accomplished with the help of a system of equipments called coal handling plant.
When coal transportation system fails it is essential that coal should be made available to boilers continuously so that three may not be stoppage of power. To meet such situation it is necessary that sufficient stock of coal is made at the power station so that there may not be interruption in coal supply to the boilers.
It is expected to keep a minimum ground stock of coal to cater to the requirement of the station for the period of 45 days. Thus besides unloading the coal received by various mode of transportation, coal handling plant has to perform two main functions (i) Stacking and reclaiming of cool to feed the boilers in case direct supply from mines fails (ii) To feed the boilers with the coal directly received from mines.
Classification of coal:
Coal is the main fuel of a thermal power station. Coal is classified as:-
1) Peat.
