NTPC TALCHER KANIHA PLANT
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report covers the study of technical feasibility for Ash Disposal system
for two (2) phases of NTPC Kaniha plant to Jagannath mines located
approximately 30KM away from plant in the State of Orissa. NTPC Kaniha
Thermal Power Station consists of two (2) Phases. Phase-I consists of two
(2) units (Units # 1 to 2) and Phase-II consists of four (4) units (Units # 3 to 6).
All units of Phase-I and Phase-II are under commercial operation. Each unit is
having dedicated ash handling system within the plant area and an Ash
Disposal system from the plant area and up to an ash pond located
approximate 7KM away. The present study is for disposing the ash generated
from six (6) boilers up to the Coal mines for filling.
1.1 ABBREVIATIONS.
a. Phase # 1 – Unit # 1 & 2
b. Phase # 2 – Unit # 3 to 6
c. Ist Stage – From Plant up to Intermediate Collection point.
d. IInd Stage – From Intermediate collection point to destination (Quarry no.8)
The main objective of the study is investigate and study the various
feasibilities of disposing the ash by utilising the existing systems to coal
mines for future filling of voids in the mine area. This will reduce the load on
existing ash pond which is almost 90% filled condition and ash pond is likely
to overflow within two (2) years.
Mahanadi Coal Field Ltd (MCL) operating the Jaganath mines for commercial
coal selling under Coal india Ltd. regulations. Hazards in the area is back
filling of the voids generated after extraction which leads to the operational
difficulty like transportation unbalanced earth movement etc. In view of the
above Mahanadi coal ltd allotted the void-8 of Jaganath mines to NTPC
Kaniha plant for back filling with plant ash.
By considering the commercial operation of the plant in full capacity for two
(2) decades Ash extraction and disposal is the major concern for officials due
to non availability of land as per Govt norms. Kaniha plant is generating
twenty thousand (20,000) ton of ash in a day which is a huge quantity and
needs more care in handling before disposal as the norms of pollution board
has to be taken in consideration.
2.1.1 Each boiler is equipped with various collection points mainly furnace bottom,
Air Pre Heater (APH) and Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) at various
locations. Ash generated in boiler is distributed in each collection points as
follows.
2.1.3 For extraction of APH and ESP ash collection vacuum conveying system is
envisaged up to intermediate collection point of Collector tank system from
where the water mixed ash slurry is routed up to Common ash slurry sump for
further disposal using horizontal centrifugal pumps.
2.1.4 Ash slurry from the above described points is collected in a common ash
slurry sump provided for Phase-I. A separate pump house equipped with
Horizontal centrifugal Slurry duty pumps as follows.
2.2.1 Each boiler is equipped with various collection points mainly furnace bottom,
economizer, APH and ESP at various locations. Ash generated in boiler is
distributed in each collection points as follows.
2.2.2 Furnace bottom is equipped with specially designed bottom ash hopper with
water impounded storage which is allowed to collect the furnace bottom ash
along with Economizer ash. Collected ash is removed using Jet pump with
water mixing and conveyed to a Common Ash Slurry sump for further
disposal using horizontal centrifugal pumps.
2.2.3 For extraction of APH & ESP ash collection vacuum conveying system is
envisaged up to intermediate collection point of Collector tank system from
where the water mixed ash slurry is routed up to Common ash slurry sump for
further disposal using horizontal centrifugal pumps.
2.2.3 Ash slurry from the above described points is collected in a common ash
slurry sump provided for Phase-II. A separate pump house equipped with
Horizontal centrifugal Slurry duty pumps in the following passion.
Refer Annexure-II
The above figures are based on average basis of 20,000 ton ash generation per day.
3.1 The following are the various options for Ash Slurry Disposal system for
Phase-I and Phase-II
Following systems were taken into consideration and concluded the above
system as techno economical due to the reasons.
control regulation. These pumps are working at high pressure; hence seamless pipes
are required for the cross country piping with high thickness to maintain the life of the
pipe. Following equipments are required to envisage the HCSD system.
2. Ash conveying equipment to Mixing unit (Conveyor, screw feeder, air slide etc...)
9. MS seamless pipe.
To achieve a HCSD system Dry Fly ash is required and Ash has to be fed
from Dry ash silo. The existing ash removal system below the hoppers of
boilers is not suitable for this system. Since there is no proven disposal
system of not more than 11KM and not more than 300TPH we have not
included any details of the system in this study. The longest system
installed is Base water system at Australia. Since the Existing facilities are
suiting the operation of HCSD system the feasibility of this is not
considered.
Railway Wagon Disposal system-This will slow down and arrest the whole
train movement. Practical difficulties for implementation. Details are
included below.
Lean phase ash slurry disposal system. – Details are included below.
For implementing the above alternative systems completely new dry ash collection system
with silos for fly ash and dewatering bins for Bottom ash has to be installed similar to the
system installed in NTPC DADDRI. A viable flow scheme is attached as Sketch number D-
0328-SKT-06A.
Details of the system to installed and the cost and operation viability study is as follows.

Approximate minimum time period for executing this job shall be 30 months.
Probable methods for ash conveying from silos & hydro bins up to the mines are as under.
This detailed system described earlier is common for the below describing alternatives from
Silo up to mines. All the cost, advantage and disadvantages of the whole system will be
added with this description and below detailed alternative.
Assuming average capacity of each dumper truck to be 20 MT, 1000 trips per day is
required to transfer the total ash of 20000 MT per day.
Maximum number of trips one truck can make per day = 12/2------------------= 6 trips
Quantity of ash that can be transported using one truck = 6x 20----------------= 120 M
Number of trucks that can be loaded in 12 hours (8AM to 8 PM) = 720/25 x6= 172.8
Furthermore a heavy duty 2 lane road 30 KM long with required culverts , rail
crossing flyovers etc ; has to be constructed up to the mines for free
For filling the mine voids ash can be directly dumped and spreading and
compacting can be done by bulldozers. Minimum 6 nos. of bulldozers would
be required.
Costing
(iv) Total cost for implementing Transportation by Dumper trucks = 123.6 Crores.
The above cost is for implementation of truck system for which complete dry
system is also added up for total cost implication.
Estimated duration for implementing the system would be approximately Three (3) years.
For proper and efficient loading of wagons silos and hydro bins of all the units shall
be located in line and rail lines are to be routed below as shown in the attached
sketch-2.
Alternately a conveyor system with bunkers and discharge chutes can be installed
for loading the wagons.
Loading of wagons
Total operating time of unloading sprouts for loading one rake= 2280/ 800=2
Hrs 51minutes
Time required for moving and aligning wagons below loading sprouts= 15
minutes
Which means only 7 rakes can be loaded in a day even if operated round the
clock. ie; only 7x 2280= 15960 MT which is less than the requirement of
transferring 20000 MT/ day.
For Unloading of wagons and filling of mine voids a track hopper/ hoppers along
with conveyor system and 1 no. Shift able conveyor systems (as installed at NTPC
Dadri ash mound area) are required to be constructed / installed. Suitable water
spraying system shall be installed for preventing dust pollution.
Or alternate
Cost of 4km conveyors from Silos to wagons on existing railway track+ 6 KM rail
lines+ 2 shift able conveyors at mines end
Since the feasibility of above system is nil and rail costing is not possible costing has
not been envisaged.
Open conveyors are not suitable as the distance is too long and one transfer station
at every will have to be constructed at an interval of 1 KM. Furthermore
environment pollution cannot be avoided. Therefore tubular conveyor system would
be a viable option.
One no. 20KM long conveyor along with supporting structure and drive accessories
would be required.
Three (3) sections with two (2) transfer stations are envisaged with 7km each length.
Each section requires Four (4) drive motors as detailed below.
1. Drive # 1 – 600KW
2. Drive # 2 – 600KW
3. Drive # 3 – 550KW
4. Drive # 4 – 550KW
This results to a power consumption of 2300KW per section totaling 6900KW for
20KM conveyor system.
Cost of the same would be approximately Rs. 350000 Lacs (This value excludes the
Electrical, Civil works which shall be added separately.
Break up of Cost.
Considering the above case study of the various ash disposal schemes the most feasible,
economical and viable option is found as lean slurry disposal of total ash by utilizing the
existing pumping facilities without disturbing the plant operation.
4.1.1 For Disposal of Ash generated in the two (2) boilers as per the parameters
mentioned above we are proposing lean phase Slurry disposal system
through pipe lines. Proposed system consists of two (2) stage pumping
system with horizontal centrifugal slurry duty pumps of adequate capacity
and pressure rating. Pumping streams has to be decided according to the
final requirement of customer according to the operation and maintenance
point of view. Detailed system philosophy is as follows.
Proposed system consists of two (2) stage lean phase slurry pumping
system. From plant vicinity the ash slurry collected in Ash slurry sumps will
be pumped to an intermediate booster station where the Slurry will be
collected for pumping through horizontal centrifugal pumps to the mines.
For first stage pumping system the existing pumping system described above
in para 2.1 is to be utilized to discharge the slurry in to the second stage Ash
slurry sump located 8 KM away from the plant boundary. This location will be
TP-14 of routing map. As described earlier the pumping streams starts from
Phase # 1 Ash Slurry pump house. Total three (3) streams emerging from
phase # 1 has to be extended approximate 8km from the pump houses. Out
of three (3), two (2) streams will be working and One (1) stream will remain
standby. One (1) tapping point from each of the existing line along with
suitable isolating valve for routing up to the second stage pumping streams
will be provided.
Pipe size
From three (3) streams of Ist stage pumping the ash slurry will be collected in
the IInd stage Ash slurry sump located 8km away from the plant vicinity. For
pumping the Ash slurry collected in the Ash slurry sump three (3) series of
horizontal centrifugal ash slurry pump will be provided. Out of three (3), two
(2) series of pumps will be working and one (1) series will be standby. There
will be two (2) dedicated streams of pipes working up to the destination
(Quarry No.8). In case of any chocking or maintenance in the IInd stage
pumping the Ash slurry can be diverted to Ash pond through the existing
system. Incase of any problem in this two (2) lines, the third line can be made
in to operation or divert to the Existing ash pond.
One pump will be provided with a provision of future pump in each series to
achieve the required pressure rating of the pumping. The first pump in series
will be driven with fluid coupling and gear box for achieving the speed
variation during operation if required. This speed variation shall be at least (+)
15% and (-) 40% of rated speed of the pump. Future provision pumps in
series shall be V-belt driven. Motor operated Knife gate valve shall be
provided at the discharge of the pumping streams. Also necessary manually
operated Knife gate valves shall be provided for interconnection.
Other than ash slurry pump following equipments are required for the system
operation.
The aspect of water recovery system from the mines is to be further explored since
the quantity of water available in the mines is a huge quantity which may tend to spill
out from the mines during back filling with ash. There are various modes of water
recovery schemes available in the market for recalculating the water dumped with
slurry and other applications. In the scheme described here is provided with a
provision of such pipe routing if required from mines to plant. Scheme and mode of
transport are not elaborated here since the study is concentrated in disposal system
only.
5.1 The major concern in the system is Layout aspects. Tentative layout of the
system is attached in drawings (D-0328-SKT-02). Cross country piping of the
system is to be decided according to the feasibility and availability of land as
per the existing area aspects. The major layout concerns to be taken in to
consideration are as follows.
Approach road for IInd stage pump house along with cross country
piping corridor.
IInd stage pump house along with five (5) ash slurry collection
compartments, one (1) ash water sump and one (1) operation and
control room.
IInd stage cross country pipe pedestals from IInd stage pump house up
to destination (Quarry no.8).
5.2 Cross country piping pedestals from tapping point of existing line up to the
IInd stage pump house as per attached sketch (D-0328-SKT-02) is required
for the system, along with this pipe pedestal above ground electrical
transmission line has to be installed to feed the electrical equipments. As a
mandatory requirement and access point of view one (1) dedicated road of
adequate width has to provide along with the pipe routing. One (1) IInd stage
pump house to accommodate the equipments shall be provided along with
operator station and slurry and water collection sumps. From IInd stage pump
house the slurry disposal pipes can be routed in pedestals up to required
destination.
5.3 All the electrical – HT and LT Switchgear, Dry Type Transformers etc and
PLC Control Room for IInd stage pumping will be located in Electrical Building
on the Pump house.
NTPC shall make available HT feeders to meet the requirement of IInd stage
Slurry pumping system. Dry type transformers will be provided to derive the
LT power supply required for the system. One (1) HT switchgear, one (1) LT
MCC and dry type transformers will be located in Electrical Room located in
the IInd stage pump house.
All the required controls, instrumentation and protections necessary for safe,
efficient and trouble free operation of the equipments/systems will be provided.
One (1) microprocessor based PLC systems with 100% hot backup and 100%
redundant input power supply will be provided to control and monitor IInd stage
slurry pumping system. The PLC Control Panel will be provided with mimic
along with status indication of various drives /equipments and annunciation
(Audio-Visual) system.
