PULVERISED FORM OF COAL
• IT HAS MADE MODERN STEAM
GENERATING UNITS HIGHLY THERMAL
EFFICIENT, RELIABLE AND SAFE.
• IT HAS MADE EFFICIENT USE OF LOW
GRADE COALS.
• IT PROVIDES GOOD CONTROL OVER
COAL AIR MIXTURE PROPORTION,
FLAME STABILITY WITH MINIMUM
LEVEL OF UNBURNT CARBON.

FIRING
DIRECT FIRING:
Coal is ground and is directly carried from the Pulveriser to
the Furnace by use of Pressurised air. Pressurised Air from
Primary Air Fans goes to the Pulverisers. Sufficient
temperature is maintained for drying of coal and moving to
the furnace without settling.
INDIRECT FIRING:
Here coal is ground and is carried to an Intermediate
Bunker. Based on the Unit load demand coal moves from
the Intermediate Bunker to the Furnace. A suction fan helps
in sucking the pulversised fuel to the furnace. This system
is suitable, where the boiler load varies and the mills
consume huge power. But, the disadvantage is that, the
capital cost is high due to extra bunkers and fans.
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF
PULVERISER
• GRINDING OF COAL
• DRYING OF COAL
• REJECTING UNDESIRABLE REJECTS
LIKE PYRITES & STONES
• TRANSPORTATION OF PULVERISED
COAL
TYPES OF PULVERISERS
• BASED ON PRINCIPLES OF PARTICLE
SIZE REDUCTION
- IMPACT
- ATTRITION
- CRUSHING
Beater Mill
or Fan Mill.
TYPES OF MILL
• Tube or ball mills: These are low-speed machines that grind
the coal with steel balls in a rotating horizontal cylinder. If the
diameter of the cylinder is greater than the length of the cylinder,
the mill is called a ball mill. If the length of the cylinder is greater
than the diameter of the cylinder, it is called a tube mill.

SEAL AIR SYSTEM
Seal air for the journal assembly is supplied through
the ends of the trunnion shaft, through holes bored
through the shaft and into the journal head. The mill
area above the bowl is usually under suction, and air
is pulled into this area. The air flows from the journal
head through the small annular clearance between
the upper journal housing and the journal head skirt.
The journal housing rotates, and the journal skirt is
stationary. The flow of seal air prevents the coal dust
from going up to the area around the oil and possibly
contaminating the oil supply.
MILL REJECT SYSTEM
MILL HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO REJECT TRAMP IRON,
PYRITES & OTHER DENSER & DIFFICULT TO GRIND
MATERIAL. WHEN THESE COME UNDER THE ROLLER,
THE ROLLER LIFTS UP ALLOWING THESE TO PASS
UNDER. THESE ARE FURTHER CARRIED OVER THE
EDGE OF THE BOWL & DROP THROUGH THE MILL SIDE
AIR INLET HOUSING. THEN, SCRAPPED BY
SCRAPPERS THROUGH TRAMP IRON SPOUT TO
PYRITE HOPPER, FROM WHERE THEY ARE
PERIODICALLY REMOVED

• Worm gear and worm shaft bearings lubricated
by sump oil. The worm shaft bearings are
splash lubricated.
•Lubrication of Roller Journal assembly Bearings
• The journal assembly is filled with oil and
internal circulation takes place as the roller
assembly rotates around its axis.

Advantages & Disadvantages
Ball & Tube Mills Bowl Mills
No Mill purging is required Mill purging is required on regular basis
depending on coal quality
Requires open gear lubricants, attention Does not require a grease handling
is required on handling of grease system
Requires longer cooling time to start work Requires very short cooling time
Mills require minimum spares if Mills require major spares due to high
maintained properly and foreign material wear & tear
ingress is controlled
Mill availability is marginally higher as Mill availability is lower as compared to
compared to Bowl mills Ball mills
