The steam generators of the proposed Thermal Power Plant will be of CFBC/pulverized fuel firing with Imported coal. The steam generator will consist of Air cooled furnace, radiant, convection super heaters, economizer, air pre heaters etc. Soot blowers will be provided at strategic locations and will be designed for sequential fully automatic operation from the Unit Control Room. The steam generator will be provided with coal mills along with individual raw coal feeders and coal bunkers. The steam generators will be equipped with facilities for Heavy Furnace Oil / LDO firing for start-up and for flame stabilization at low loads. Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with fly ash hoppers will be provided for the collection of fly ash. The steam turbine will drive the turbo generator at 3000 rpm. The steam generators will be designed as semi – outdoor equipment while the turbine generator set with all auxiliary and feed cycle equipment will be located indoors.

Furnace The furnace will be designed such that the heat release rates will be optimum at 100% steam generator maximum continuous rating (SGMCR) condition. The configuration of the furnace will be such that flame impingement on any section of the furnace is avoided over the entire load range.
The furnace will have hopper bottom with stainless steel seal plates which will be suitable for connection to a water impounded ash hopper. A suitable sealing arrangement for connecting to the water impounded ash hopper will also be provided.
The circulation system will ensure adequate circulation ratio during rapid startups and load changes to prevent overheating of the water wall tubes with maximum possible heat flux in the furnace. Suitable allowances will be provided for all the water wall tubes to counter the erosion conditions.
Boiler
The boiler will be CFBC/pulverized coal fired, single drum, with membrane wall construction, balanced draft boiler natural circulation semi outdoor type. Superheat of the steam is controlled by inter-stage spray water attemperation.
The final superheated steam at a pressure of 93 Kg/cm2 and at 540ºC is supplied to steam turbine unit through HP steam piping.
Steam Turbine Generator
The steam turbine will be designed to meet the requirements of the latest IEC standard. It will be designed for quick start-up rates and to withstand rapid load

Existing Stack - 145 m (60 MW & 180 MW) Stack Height Calculation for 1 x 300 MW The daily consumption of coal is around 4107 Tonnes The rate of SO2 emission due to usage of coal is calculated as given below Sulphur content = 0.5% S = (4107 x 0.5/100) = 20.535 T/D SO2 = 20.535 x 2 T/D = 41.07 T/D = 1711.25 kg/hr SO2 emission = 1711.25 kg/hr = 475.35 g/s Stack height calculation: H = 14 Q0.3 Where, H = height of the Stack Q = SO2 Concentration in Kg/hr. Hence H = 14 x (1711.25)0.3 = 14 x 9.332 = 130.65 m The stack height proposed is 132 meters.
