Coal Fired Power Plants

Coal fired power plants can consume 2,000

to 10,000 tons of coal per day

A 125-car train arrives at a rate of about

once per day to feed the power plant
Train cars, loaded with 100 tons of coal, must pass
through a rotary car dumper or grizzly deck to be
emptied.

Rotary Dumper

Some rotary dumpers are being replaced by grizzly decks. The cars
can then be unloaded while moving
Grizzly - replaced a rotary dumper.
The coal dumps
from the car
through large
grates and then
into a large
hopper called the
track hopper.
Several long conveyors transfer the coal from the
rotary car dumpers, barge un-loaders, receiving bins
and other source to the ready piles.

Feeders below these piles load other belts that deliver

the coal to the bunkers in the power plant.

 Coal Bin Liner

The coal for this power plant is delivered by ship, conveyed to this
hopper then conveyed again into the coal yard. This hopper is 25’
square and about 40” high. We quoted the liner.
 Dozers run constantly to move and
compact the large coal storage piles. The
coal will spontaneously combust without
the dozers work

Coal Screening
Each coal bunker in the plant tapers at the bottom to
allow the coal to gravity feed into the feeder below it.

Pulverizer - This unit uses seven large coal pulverizers
to crush the coal to the size of talcum powder. Air then
carries the crushed coal up and out the top of the
pulverizer.
Coal Pulverizer
Raw coal is fed through a central coal inlet at the
top of the pulverizer and falls by gravity to the
rotating grinding table, mixing with classifier
rejects returned for re-grinding. Centrifugal
action forces the coal outward to the grinding
ring where it is pulverized between the ring and
three grinding rollers.

Grinding load, transmitted from the tension

rods through the loading frame to the roller
assemblies, holds the rollers in contact with the
grinding ring. The rollers adjust vertically as the
depth of the coal load increases or decreases.

A nozzle ring on the outside perimeter of the

grinding ring feeds primary air to the pulverizer.
Pyrites and tramp metal fall through the nozzle
ring openings to be scraped into a rejects
hopper.

A stream of low-velocity air carries the

particles of pulverized coal upward where they
enter the classifier inlet vanes. Fine particles
travel to the burners in the primary air stream,
but the larger, heavier particles are returned to
the grinding zone for further pulverization.

Coal Pipes - After leaving the top of the pulverizer,

the coal is carried up to the burners on the sides of
the boiler through coal pipes like the ones shown
 A look @ the fire inside the
boiler. This is a coal fire in one of
the coal nozzles after the boiler
Nozzles was being taken down from
normal operation.
The boiler contains four
"corner" sections of coal nozzles
divided into four "elevations" of
coal nozzles.
Only three elevations of
coal nozzles with four burners on
each elevation (total of 12
nozzles) are required for the unit
to operate at full load.
