HANDLING OF COAL IN THERMAL
POWER PLANT
1) Out-Plant Handling
2)In-Plant Handling
Introduction…
Thermal power plant use fossil fuels, i.e.
1) Solid fuel such as coal
2) Liquid fuel such as oil
3) Gaseous fuel such as gas
Constituents of coal:-
Carbon:-42.9%
Hydrogen:-2.96%
Nitrogen:-0.91%

The coal handling facility is the life line of a
coal-fueled power plant.

TRANSPORTATION BY
WATERWAYS…
If the power plant is situated on the bank of
river or near sea shore, it is often economical
to transport coal in boats or barges.
It is then unloaded mechanically by cranes
or grab buckets.
Then it is placed in storage yard or directly
to the conveyor system to be carried to
power plant.
TRANSPORTATION BY RAIL…
In India, the coal supply to power plants is
mainly by railways.
This mode of transport plays very important
role for power plant which are located interior.
A railway sliding line is taken into the power
station and coal is delivered either in the storage
yard or close to the point of consumption.
The capacity of the railway siding should be
equal to three days requirement of the plant.
TRANSPORTATION BY ROAD…
The transportation of coal by road is
possible for small and medium size plant
only due to traffic restrictions and
transportation cost.
