Abstract
Millmerran Power Company generates 850 MW (mega watt) and produces electricity to about1.1 million houses in the south-east Queensland. The Power Station consists of twogenerating units. The Coal plant at Millmerran Power Station has been experiencingdifficulties with the transfer of wet coal in the plant. These problems have led to a reductionin the availability of coal plant and blockages in the silos. This blockage caused by wet coalhas led to a considerable amount of unit trips.The identification and reduction of problems with wet coal is vastly advantageous as it wouldresult in a reduction in the number of unit trips. Therefore Millmerran Power Station whichoperates as a private investor would benefit significantly from this improvement..A detailed review of the coal handling plant, conveyors and chutes was carried out. Thesolution was to connect the Reclaim conveyor to the Stacker conveyor system through a Re- blending conveyor system. By using this method the coal can be stacked in the emergencyarea until it is dry enough for handling.
