    Coal Blending Presentation Slides - Part of Out Training!

    Uploaded by

    msoyoral
    This document discusses coal blending and its impact on power plant operations. It addresses blending different types of coal to maintain consistent quality control while accounting for natural variability in coal properties. The key challenges discussed are balancing heating value, sulfur, ash chemistry and physical properties when blending coals. Specific issues covered include ash loading levels, elemental loadings like iron and calcium, variability between lab analyses and actual plant operations, and how blending can be used to address variability and meet operational limits. The effects of coal blending on pulverizer setup, mill loading and primary air needs are also reviewed for different coal types like bituminous and sub-bituminous.

    Lets look at all boiler related
    coal qualities on a heat
    basis; lets put all
    percentages on a per million

    Kg. of ash/MKcal

    = %ash / (Kcal/10,000)
    Kg. of element/MKcal

    = %ash / (Kcal/10,000)
    X (%Element/100)
    Many slagging concerns
    have been addressed using
    Ash Loading and Elemental
    loading levels; especially

    Fe2O3, CaO, Na2O

    Coal Combustion
    Bituminous
    1.Maintain 70% passing 200 mesh screen
    2.High Calorific Value and low moisture
    allow for low mill loading
    3.Lower Primary Air due to lower coal flow
    can allow for rejects

    Bit Coal Combustion

    31
    Coal Combustion
    Sub - Bituminous
    1.Maintain 60-70% passing 200 mesh
    screen to increase though put.
    2.Low Calorific Value and high moisture
    make for high mill loading
    3.High Primary Air for drying and high coal
    flow sends reject material into the furnace

    Advice – Set up plant
    1.Pulverize to meet Un-reactive coal
    2.Pulverize for slag control-not carbon
    3.Maintain CV to take load off mill
