Considering the power scenario and to minimize the operating cost, M/s. UltraTech Cement
Limited is proposing 60 MW (2 x 30 MW) Captive Power Plant (CPP).
The generating unit will have CFBC boilers, thermal coal as primary fuel, condensing steam turbine
and generator, air cooled condenser and other necessary auxiliary equipment.
This section will include all the necessary equipment like coal crusher, conveyor and drives. Coal
from the source shall be crushed into required size and taken to the fuel bunkers feed hopper of
the boiler. Coal yard will have separate arrangements for incoming coal and crushed coal to be
sent to the bunker.
The boiler house will have the main boiler as mentioned above along with ID and FD fans, ducts,
Pollution control equipment (ESP/Bag Filters), and other necessary valves, piping and fittings. Fuel
from the conveyor shall be put into the main bunker from where it shall be fed to the boiler
furnace.
In order to have smooth operation and long life of the boiler system, it requires suitable water
treatment plant. Depending upon the test results of the water sample, appropriate treatment
methods and equipment shall be decided upon.
Turbine and control room shall be housed in the separate building other than boiler house. This
shall also house other turbine auxiliary equipment, cable cellar, switchgear room, central control
room and other administrative facilities. The steam from the boiler shall be expanded and
condensed in the turbine to generate electricity.
At the exit of the turbine, the low-pressure steam shall be condensed in air cool condenser and
condensed water will be fed to de-aerator through condensate circuit.
After combustion of coal inside the boiler furnace, it liberates heat that is used for steam
generation. At the same time, it generates ash that is a by-product of combustion process. This
ash travels along with flue gases through various parts of the system like Economizer, Air Pre-
heater and pollution control equipment and finally through ducts. There is also some collection at
the bottom of the furnace. In the end, flue gases are fed into the chimney/stack through ID fan
and vented out in the atmosphere. Ash shall be collected at different points and moved by using
suitable material handling systems and collected into the silos (dry fly ash). Fly ash generated from
the system shall be utilized fully for making Cement.
All the equipment including valves, pumps, standby pumps & valves etc shall be operated,
monitored and controlled from central control room. In this way, generated power and fly ash
shall be sent to the grinding unit for their respective usages.
The project will include the complete civil construction of the buildings, reservoirs, pump house,
MCC room, WTP plant area building, cooling tower including ash silos, covered fuel shed, site
infrastructure, supply and installation of all mechanical equipment, piping, instrumentation,
power evacuation system and other necessary equipment for the completion and satisfactory
operation of the generating unit.
b. Type of Boiler
d. Type of APCs
c. Capacity
M/s. UltraTech Cement Limited is also proposed to install Waste Heat Recovery System (WHRS) of
36 MW (2 x 18 MW) for re-utilization of the exhaust gases from the Pre-heater/ Cooler to generate
electric power and consequently reduce consumption of grid power. The project will contribute to
the more efficient use of energy and will reduce reliance on exhaustible fossil fuel.
In the cement plant, WHRS will consist of two waste heat recovery boilers viz.
Pre-Heater (PH) boiler: PH boiler will be installed after Pre-Heater and recovers heat from
Pre-Heater exhaust gases.
Clinker Cooler (AQC) boiler: Clinker cooler or Air Quenching cooler (AQC) boiler will be
installed after Clinker cooler and recovers heat from Clinker cooler exhaust gases.
The PH boiler will be a vertical configuration single drum boiler. AQC boiler will be vertical single
drum boiler. Both the boilers are top supported, outdoor unit suitable for the specified Pre-heater
and clinker cooler exhaust of cement plant.
The waste heat coming out of Pre-heater and cooler will be used in Waste Heat Recovery Boiler to
produce low pressure steam which is fed to turbine to produce power of 36 MW (2 x 18 MW).
The flue gas, at 280°C from the top of the Preheater will enter the boiler and after boiler the
temperature of the flue gas will be 150°C, which will be used for drying of raw material in Raw Mill.
When the boiler will be in shut down the flue gas will enter the Bag house / ESP.
Low-pressure economizer
Each heating surface has a vibration dust removal device and dust evenly discharges out of boiler
bottom along with the air.
Due to high ash content in the flue gas, the boiler is equipped with a mechanical rapping system.
Every tube bank is equipped with 4 units mechanical rapping system. Each group has one motor
to drive all 4 units, which are connected together with connecting rods. The rapping frequency is 3
times per minute. The impact force is approx. 1500 N. For better regulation, the user can also reset
the transducer drive controls of the motor, thereby regulating the frequency of rapping.
The mechanical rapping system is a key component of this boiler. Each group of rapping device
can be individually controlled. Shut-down for maintenance of one group of rapping device does
not affect other groups. The rapping devices are equipped with removable doorframes, to
facilitate easy repair and maintenance.
The flue gas, at 395°C, from the mid tap of the AQC will enter the boiler and after boiler the
temperature of the flue gas will be 100°C, which will be used / rejected in Atmosphere thru existing
ESP Fan. In this load on cooler ESP will be on lower side. The balance in Final will be maintained by
control dampers in AQC WHRB and ESP inlet duct. When the boiler will be in shut down the flue
gas will enter the ESP and after ESP the same circuit will be followed.
Common economizer
Low-pressure segment economizer tube box.
All the tube boxes transfer their own weight to the beam steel structure through their base. The
tube box type of construction reduces the air leakage to a minimum, reduces the heat loss of air
leakage, improves boiler efficiency, and reduces the workload at site. The AQC boiler heating
surface adopts special shaped heat exchanger components in the form of spiral fin tubes, which,
due to the nature and characteristics of AQC waste gas, results in better anti-wear and anti-
deposition.
The outer casing of the Boiler tube boxes and flue gas ducts are built outside of insulation layer to
protect the insulation. All the outer surfaces of the Boiler are installed with colored plates. The
color is chosen by customer, ensuring the boiler is aesthetic, to the Customers’ taste and
harmonic with the surrounding environment.
Condensate Circuit
In this system condensate from Condensate Extraction Pump (CEP) will be transferred into the
water pre-heater in AQC WHRB then WHRB separate De-aerator. After De-aerator the condensate
will enter the Boilers through Boiler Feed Pump.
Steam Circuit
The combined generated steam will be used to generate electricity from the steam turbine with
Air cooled condenser.
Auxiliary Cooling Water and DM Water
1. Direct Benefits:
Recovery of waste heat has a direct effect on the efficiency of the process. This is reflected by
reduction in the utility consumption & costs, and process cost.
2. Indirect Benefits:
The Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) of 450 KLD (350 KLD + 100 KLD) capacity will be installed for
treatment of Domestic waste water generated from Plant and Colony. The treatment given to the
influent in the STP will be both chemical and biological. The treated water will be used for
greenbelt development/ plantation.
PROCESS DESRIPTION -
The Treatment Process is mainly based on the principle of “Fluidised Attached Growth Process”
and consists mainly of the following components:
MEDIA, which provides surface area for the growth of micro- organisms.
AIR GRID SYSTEM, which ensures -
high oxygen transfer efficiency to meet the oxygen demand exerted by the microorganisms
the fluidized state of the media
The system comprises of the following main units:
a) FAB reactor tank - I
b) FAB reactor tank - II
c) Tube Settler
FAB REACTOR TANKS - I & II
The FAB reactor tanks consists of an air grid placed at the bottom of the tank which helps in
inducing O2 transfer from the air to the effluent through the air blowers and at the same time
maintains the media with attached bacterial culture in suspension. It is here that bacterial culture
utilizes this O2 to biodegrade the organic matter in the effluent and also for their endogenous
respiration, resulting in the production of simpler end. The Treatment Process is mainly based on
the principle of “Fluidised Attached Growth Process” and consists mainly of the following
components:
TUBE- SETTLER – I & II
Settling Tank with the Tube Modules is a unit in which solid liquid separation occurs under the
gravity.
FILTERS (DMF AND ACF)
DMF - Dual Media Filter
As the name indicates, DMF, is a Dual Media Filter, and has two filtering media Anthracite and
sand. 300 mm layer of Anthracite is provided on top of sand layer. The sand is supported on a bed
of graded pebbles. The conventional Pressure Sand Filter has limited Dirt holding capacity. Fine
sand is filled in the top most layer, suspended solids are deposited on the top surface and hence
pressure sand filter performs as surface filter. But Dual Media Filter has two layers of filtration and
hence called depth filtration.
The coarse Anthracite layer does pre filtration and removes most of the suspended solids from
the water before the water comes in contact with the fine sand.
The coarse Anthracite is provided for holding higher amount of dirt within the bed. The dirt
removing capacity of the Dual Media Filter is higher than the conventional pressure sand filter.
ACF - Activated Carbon Filter
Activated Carbon is one of the most widely used media for adsorption of impurities. Activated
carbon filter is employed for mostly removal of
Chlorine
Organics
Odor
The residual chlorine in the water, where chlorination is used for Organics removal, is adsorbed by
Activated Carbon Filter. The ACF removes almost all of the residual chlorine in the water. The ACF
also helps in removal of Organic matter from the water. The Activated carbon media has finite
capacity of adsorption and shall exhaust on prolonged usage depending upon the inlet purity
load.
The reverse osmosis process consists of three main steps: (1) Pre-treatment, (2)
Membrane Assembly System and (3) post-treatment.
Pre-treatment
The purpose of the pre-treatment step is to avoid any risk of clogging, fouling or scaling of the
membrane. Pre-treatment is an important aspect of RO system. All RO devices require pre-
treatment to remove the suspended solids, scalants, foulants and colloidal matter. In the pre-
treatment system, some chemicals are usually used before the filtration step. Chlorine is often
injected to disinfect feed water. Sodium Meta bisulphate is used to dechlorinate the feed water.
Ferric chloride, alum or polymers are the typical coagulants used at the prefilter stage. In the
filtration stage, a gravity filter with different sand particle sizes is used. Then a fine cartridge filter
is used after the sand filtration. For ground water treatment, Hydrochloric acid and sodium
hexameta phosphate (SHMP) is often used to prevent carbonate scale. The exact dosage of each
chemical depends on the chemical analysis of the feed water.
Several types of RO membranes are commercially available. These are prepared either as flat
sheet or as hollow fibers made from cellulose acetate (CA) ester or polyamide (PA). There are
different ways of packing RO membranes. Of these, three configurations have been produced
commercially: tubular, spiral wound (SW) and hollow fine fiber (HFF). Hollow fine fiber and spiral
wound modules have proved to be appropriate for several types of raw water in RO desalination
systems. Spiral wound has found many applications in the wastewater reclamation. The success of
the spiral-bound device has been related to the capability to package a relatively large amount of
membrane surface area into a relatively small element while maintaining a certain degree of
"cleavability", which, of course, is particularly important for wastewater processes.
Post-treatment
In selecting a particular type of equipment or storage for the project, among others, the following
issues have been considered:
Equipment costs
Energy consumption
Raw materials characteristics
Sizes in which the equipment is available
Lead times for particular types of equipment
