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. Chutes Hoppers Feeder Tables Crushers Screen decks

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

Nozzles

A look @ the fire inside the boiler. This is a coal fire in one of the coal nozzles after the boiler 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.
