Traditional thermal power plants: also called combustion power plants, they operate with energy produced by a steam boiler fueled by coal, natural gas, heating oil, as well as by biomass. The steam activates a turbine which, in turn, drives an alternator to produce electricity. Combined cycle gas power plants (or steam-gas turbine plants
Read MoreWhat is boiler? It is an enclosed pressure vessel in which water is converted into steam by gaining heat from any source (coal, oil, gas etc). Boiler in thermal power plant accumulates the steam and build up a pressure to expend it in turbine and convert thermal energy to mechanical energy.
Read Morethe boiler water should be maintained at pH 11. This may require an addition of alkali if the water is not soft. Secondly, a chemical called a sludge conditioner can be added to treat the solids so that they drop out (precipitate). Finally, these treated solids must
Read MoreOur power plant boiler portfolio addresses all fuels with PC boilers that can burn a wide range of hard coals, lignite, and oil/gas, and CFB for both conventional and difficult to burn fuels. Our experienced-based steam boiler design enables the burning of a wide fuel range, while reducing the impact of slagging, fouling, corrosion and erosion in the furnace.

Read More2 fired boilers are 750 -980 F; for the PC boilers, 1004 -1005 F. The nominal sizes of the plants range from 10 MW to 79.5 MW. Electricity Generation and Fuel Consumption Table 2 lists the plants in order of electricity generation, in gigawatt-hours/yr (GWh/yr).

A steam power station utilizes heat energy produced from burning coal to generate electrical energy. This kind of power station is generally used around the world. Because of the wealth of fuel (coal), this set of the power station can be
Read MoreAlkalinity is a measure of the bicarbonate (HCO3), carbonate (CO3) and hydroxyl (OH) ions in the water. pH and alkalinity ratings are NOT the same and are NOT proportional. pH is rated on the Scale and alkalinity is measured in parts per million (ppm). A typically recommended alkalinity rating is 140 – 700 ppm for boilers operating below 300 psi.
