Working principle
• Coal based thermal power plant works on the principal of Modified Rankine Cycle.• The Rankine cycle is a model
that is used to predict the performance of steam engines.• The Rankine cycle is an idealised
thermodynamic cycle of a heat engine that converts heat intomechanical work.

Raw Coal Feeders (Bowl Mill)
• Coal is pulverized in the bowl mill (grounded to a powder form).• Two types
XRP 803 mills (4)HP 08 mills (2)• The basic features of Bowl Mill (Pulveriser) supplied by BHEL are:
Medium speed range of 40 to 60 rpmInput coal size is 25 mm while output is 65-75 micronCrushing of coal by replaceable bull ring segment and grinding rolls

Raw Coal Feeders (Continued…)
• Speed reduction by two method :single stage worm & worm wheel setPlanetary Gear Box
• Working Principle :• Raw coal gets ground between the grinding rolls and bull ring segments
installed on the revolving Bowl. Springs exert necessary pressure on rolls for grinding. • Hot air through the mill picks up the lighter particles and takes them
through the classifier(also removes coal moisture)Fine coal air mixture leaves the mill and enters the fuel piping system.• Tramp iron pieces which are not required to grind, leave the Bowl due to
centrifugal force and are removed through the reject removal system.

BM1-Boiler Maintenance Section• A boiler is a combination of systems and equipment in which chemical
energy is converted into thermal energy, which is then transferred to working fluid, so as to convert it into steam at high temperature and pressure.• In GGSSTP,
6 boilers for 6 units. Each boiler is a 210 MW Radiant Reheat, Natural Circulation, Single drum, Semi-outdoor, Dry bottom, Water Tube and designed for coal as principle fuel. • HFO firing capacity is equivalent to 22.5% boiler Maximum
Continuous Rating.• Four burners are capable for 7.5% boiler MCR heat input

Continued…• The complete furnace section is of fusion welded wall type, arranged as a
gas and pressure tight envelop. • The extended sidewall section (where re-heaters are located) is covered
with water-cooled fin welded walls. • The maximum flue gas velocity in the pressure part system is limited to
10-12 m/sec at 100% boiler MCR load.• All headers are located outside the gas path, except for the economizer
inlet header; intermediate headers and LTSH inlet header are located in the low gas temperature section. • Two re-heaters and de-super heaters are provided at the inlet of the re-
heater for emergency control of final reheated steam.13-10-2015

Coal Flow In a Boiler• Air carries the dry coal powder from the pulverisers to the burners in
the boiler furnace.• In the burners the coal powder is mixed with the required amount of
Combustion air and burned in the furnace.

Latent Heat Addition• Drum• A large cylindrical vessel that functions as the storage and feeding point
for water and the collection point for water and steam mixture.• Largest and most important pressure part in the boiler.
• Water Walls• Water filled tubes that form the walls of the furnace.• Water Walls get the water from the ‘downcomers’• Lower density than the water in the downcomers. • This density difference creates a circulation of water from the drum,
through the downcomers, water walls and back to the drum. • Steam collects at the upper half of the drum

35
Dry Fly Ash Section• The plant obtains 64 tons per hour ash in one unit. • The ash is collected in an intermediate silo.• The ash then moves down to stage called DV-1 into six different
containers. The containers in DV-1 have a secondary pipe which is used to suck anything inside it into the silo a few seconds before the ash is released into the container to ensure that a large pressure difference between the silo and the container.• The ash then moves to stage DV-2. This stage also has a container only
smaller than DV-1 but the process is same.• After DV-2, the final stage is DV-3 when the ash is transferred from
DV-2 containers to nearby cement factories. 13-10-2015

Introduction
In coal based thermal power plant, following type of corrosion are possible:• Water/gas/acid corrosion• High Temperature corrosion• Low Temperature corrosion• Oil ash corrosion• Stress corrosion• Fatigue corrosion

![Page 38: Study of corrosion and erosion in boilers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/5875afdc1a28ab8b618b5b99/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Water/Gas/Acid Corrosion• This is basically a low temperature corrosion but it is caused by the presence of
gas or steam drops and acids present in the flowing water. • Basically, Corrosion’s origin varies widely but it is mainly caused due to the
action of dissolved oxygen, and corrosion currents set up as a result of heterogeneities on metal surfaces, or to the iron being directly attacked by the water. • Low make up feed water pH can cause serious acid attack on metal surfaces in the
pre-boiler and boiler system. Feed water can also become acidic from contamination of the system.• Acidic corrosion can also be caused by chemical cleaning operations (overheating
of the cleaning solution, excessive exposure of metal to cleaning agent, high cleaning agent concentration).

39
High Temperature Corrosion
• This is usually take place in parts which usually come in the contact of hot gas
containing certain contaminants like:1. Vanadium Compounds2. Sulphate Compounds• These compounds can form compounds during
combustion having a low melting point.• These liquid melted salts are strongly corrosive for
stainless steel and other alloys normally inert against the corrosion and high temperatures.

![Page 40: Study of corrosion and erosion in boilers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/5875afdc1a28ab8b618b5b99/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Low Temperature Corrosion• Using fuels with sulphur in steam generating units yields a potential hazard of
sulphur corrosion at the cold end of the boiler.• Sulphur in the fuel is oxidized chiefly to sulphur dioxide (SO2) during
combustion. Some sulphur trioxide (SO3) is also formed, and combines with water to form sulphuric acid, which condenses on and attacks low temperature boiler surfaces.

41
Oil Ash Corrosion• All fossil fuels, with the possible exception of natural gas, contain constituents
that will promote corrosion on the fire side of boiler components.• Fly-ash and soot-blower are not by themselves corrosive, but both remove the
protective iron-oxide layer.• The cleaned steel is then exposed to the high temperature flue-gas environment,
and an oxide film reforms.

42
Stress Corrosion
• Stress corrosion may result in either inter-crystalline or trans-granular cracking of carbon steel. It is caused by a combination of metal stress and the presence of a corrosive.

43
Fatigue Corrosion
• Corrosion fatigue is fatigue in a corrosive environment.• It is the mechanical degradation of a material under the joint action
of corrosion and cyclic loading.• More highly stressed parts of tubes (such as bends, or at other areas
close to supports) may be the most vulnerable.• Additional thermal stresses could be imposed on the end tubes from
the boiler frames.
