1. Components of wet F.A.System:-

 Fly Ash Hoppers

 Jet Pumps (Feeder Ejectors).
 Slurry discharge Pipe lines.
 Slurry tank.
 Slurry Pumps.
 Pipe line to disposal pond.
2. Components of Dry F.A.System:-

Ash hopper

Air lock vessel

Compressed air

Ash silo

Fluidizing pads

Rotary feeder
AIR LOCK VESSEL
Ash Silo:-

 Silo is an Ash storage vessel . Capacity of each Silo is 300 MT.1no. of silo is

provided for each 210 MW unit . It is equipped with Bag filter unit with
ventilation system.

 Ventilation system removes the air coming with the ash into the silo
through bag filter to avoid pressurization of the silo .

Fluidizing pads are provided in the conical portion of the silo to maintain
fluidity of the of ash.

Silos have heaters which maintain the ash temp between 80 ºC – 100 ºC.
 Rotary Feeder :-

The Ash is then sent to the Rotary feeder by opening the Ash
Intake valve . It is a rotary vane feeder driven by geared motor.

Rotary feeder has got VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) to control

ash flow by regulating the speed of the feeder . Capacity of the
rotary feeder is 100 MT/hr.

 Ash is then conditioned in the Dust Conditioner .

 Dust Conditioner

It is the paddle feeder where 5% to 8 % moisture is added to the dry

ash so that there is no nuisance of dust when ash is transferred to
slurry tank.

It is a two shaft paddle feeder equipped with gearbox and motor.

Capacity of the dust collector is also 100 MT/hr.

 Slurry Mixer:-

 If user is available the Ash is then supplied by means of a conveyer. Else it is

then sent to the Slurry Mixer. The Slurry Mixer is installed at the center of
Mixing tank.

The Mixing tank (MT) is 4m in ht. The MT is provided with tank level control
valve level measurement probe and online slurry density monitoring
equipment.

The normal level of ash in the MT is maintained at 3.0 m – 3.2 m. Approx. 70

% Ash and 30 % water are mixed in the MT.

Homogeneous mixture of high concentration slurry is formed in slurry tank

with the help of slurry mixer .
Geho Slurry Pump:-

 Geho pump is the heart of the HCSD system.

Suction to the Geho slurry pump is from slurry mixing tank. It is a special
type of reciprocating pump called as Piston Diaphragm pump.

The Geho piston diaphragm pump, (model TZPM 800) is a reciprocating,

positive displacement pump designed to handle abrasive ash slurry.

It is a triplex single acting pump having three cylinders at phase angle of
1200.
 Geho Slurry Pump (contd…):-

Pump design is such that the pumped liquid does not come in contact with moving
parts , such as piston and cylinder liner .

This is done by means of a diaphragm , which effects a mechanical separation

between the pumped liquid and the clean propelling liquid in which the moving
parts are running .

Pump is driven by main electric motor and gear box (5.6:1) through variable
frequency drive (VFD). VFD is necessary to vary the pump speed during the blocking
conditions of discharge
pipe line.

 Pump parameters are controlled by programmable logic control (PLC) from AHP
control room.
