Stack Height CalculationStack height is calculated using following


formula
H=14 (Q).33

Where:
H = height of Chimney
Q = (Quantity of fuel (kg/hr) x sulphur content (%) x 2)/100

The sulphur content in the bagasse is negligible


(around 0.1 %) as compared to Indian coal (maximum considered of
0.5%). Or we can use the table below.
Table No.
Sulfur Content of Fuels Available in India
Type of Fuel Percentage Content of Sulfur
Light Diesel Oil 1.80
High Speed Diesel 1.00
Kerosene 0.25
Furnace Oil 3.00 to 4.00
LPG 0.10
Coal 0.50

Therefore the stack height will be calculated on the basis of


coal.Coal will  be mainly  used  in the  off-season  operation.
The maximum quantity of coal that will be burned is 165251.6157
lb/hr or 74956.87201 kg/hr.
H=1 4 ¿
H=102 meters
3.28084 ft
H=102 meters x( )
1m
H=334.6235 ft

There fore the height of the stack will be 335ft.
