Coal Pulverizer – Power Plant | Pall Corporation
Raw coal enters the top of the pulverizer through the raw coal feed pipe. The raw coal is then pulverized between the roll and rotating ring. Hot air is forced in through the bottom of the pulverizing chamber to remove unwanted moisture and transport the coal dust up through the top of the pulverizer and out the exhaust pipe directly to the burner.
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment of 2 × 300 MW
In India, a coal-based thermal power plant generates 93,918.38 MW approximately of total energy production. A coal-based thermal power plant converts the chemical energy of the coal into electrical energy. The company is operating coal-based 2 × 300 MW thermal power plant which is driven by steam and generates electricity by …
