    The document summarizes the process of coal handling at a steam power plant. Coal is transported to the plant via sea, river, road or rail then unloaded. It is then prepared by crushing, separating, drying and removing debris. Finally, the coal is transferred to storage using belt conveyors, skip hoists, screw conveyors or bucket elevators, with belt conveyors being most economical for medium and large capacity plants.

    STEAM POWER PLANT

    1. Out plant handling of coal


    2. In plant handling of coal
     The out plant handling of coal is done by
    1. Transportation by Sea or River.
    2. Transportation by Ropes.(If mine is <10kms
    distance from Power plant)
    3. Transportation by Rail.
    4. Transportation by Road.(For small plants)
    5. Transportation coal by pipeline.(Coal with
    water is made into slurry which is pumped
    through the pipeline to destination)
     Coal delivery: Coal from the supply points is
    delivered to the power stations by the way of
    sea transportation or by pipe line
    transportation or by trucks.

     Unloading: The unloading equipment


    requirement is depending upon the type of
    coal received at the power station.
    Car shakers, rotary car dampers, unloading
    towers & bridges, Lift trucks, Self-unloading
    boats etc.
     Preparation: The coal is not in proper size
    if the coal delivered is in the form of big
    lumps. The preparation of coal can be
    achieved by sizers, crushers, and breakers.
     Coal is first crushed in the crusher
     coal of proper size are separated in the

    vibrating separator.
     Coal is dried in a Closed chamber by passing

    hot gas
     By running through a magnetic belt conveyor

    ant iron debris present in the coal are


    removed
     Transfer: After preparation coal is
    transferred to the dead storage by means of
    the following systems:
    1. Belt conveyors
    2. Skip hoists
    3. Flight conveyor
    4. Screw conveyors
    5. Bucket elevators
    6. Grab bucket elevators
     Endless belt made of rubber, canvas or balata
    running over a pair of end drums.

     Can transfer 50 to 100T/hr for 400mtrs


    distance at an inclination 20o

     Average speed of the conveyor is 60m to


    100m per minute
     Most economical method in medium & large
    capacity plants
     Rate of coal transfer can be varied by varying

    the speed of the conveyor


     Repair and maintenance cost minimum
     Power consumption is low
     Coal can be protected on transfer on

    providing a overhead covers


     Cannot be used for short distance

     Cannot be used for greater height transfer as


    inclination is limited to 20o
     Helicoids screw fitted to a shaft supported by
    enclosed ball bearing.

     The dia varies from 15 to 50 mm rotating at


    70 to 120rpm

     Max capacity 125T/hr


     Minimum space
     Most simple & compact
     Can be made dust tight.

    Disadvantages
     Power consumption high/unit wt
     Length of feed less 30mtrs
     Wear & tear high
     Used for vertical lift up to 100ft

     Max inclination 60o

     Speed of chain for bucket elevators-75m/min


    and

     Speed of continuous type is 35m/min for


    about 60T/hr
     A 2 to 3 cum bucket can transfer 100
    tonnes of coal per hour over a distance of
    60mts
     Flight conveyors incorporate chains with scraper
    bars or attachments that push the material in an
    enclosed and dust tight trough.
     Advantages
     It requires small head room
     Speed of the conveyor can be regulated
     Can be used for both coal and ash transfer

     Disadvantage
     Excessive wear and tear
     Power consumption high
     Speed is limited

     Repair and maintenance high.
