    Ash Handling System

    Uploaded by

    There are two types of ash produced in thermal power plants: bottom ash and fly ash. Bottom ash makes up 20% of total ash and falls directly to the bottom of the boiler, while fly ash makes up 80% and is collected from equipment hoppers. Plants use either a wet or dry ash handling system. The wet system conveys ash in water via hydro-vactors and hydro-ejectors then stores the slurry in ponds. The dry system saves water and power by transporting dry ash via k-pumps to silos for storage and off-site disposal. The plant aims to fully transition to a dry system and expand nighttime loading to improve ash management.

    Ash Handling System

    What are the types of Ash in Thermal Power Plant ?


    Bottom Ash

    Fly Ash
    http://studygalaxy.com/

    Bottom Ash
    The ash which is directly collected from

    bottom of boiler.

    Bottom ash directly falls down in water

    filled bottom due to gravity.

    Bottom ash is 20% of total ash.

    Fly Ash
    It is collected from :-

    1-ESP hoppers 2-Air preheaters hoppers 3-Economiser hoppers


    It is 80% of total ash.

    Wet system
    In this system ash conveying media is

    water. It has two main component:1-Hydro-vactor 2-Hydro-ejector

    Hydro-vactor
    Working Principle:-

    Hopper ash is directly sucked by vaccum, which is created by high water Jet (hydrovactor). This ash mix with water in collecting tank and finally slurry collects in slurry sump.

    Hydro-ejector
    Working Principle:-

    High pressure water jet carries slurry from the bottom to slurry sump.

    This system operates once in a day (24 hrs).

    Final disposal of slurry


    Finally slurry from slurry sump is

    conveyed by pair of big centrifugal pumps to Ash ponds.

    This slurry system is common

    1-for D & E station 2-for C & F station

    Fly Ash in Forestry

    Ash pond No 1

    Fly Ash in Forestry

    Ash pond No 2

    Different Auxillaries in wet system (Fstation)


    1-H.P. pump 3 Nos. 11 kg/cm2 2-L.P. pump 3 Nos. 6 kg/cm2 3-Ash slurry pump 3 Nos. in each path 2.5 kg/cm2 4-Air washer pump 2 Nos. 5 kg/cm2 5-Seal water pump 2 Nos. 18 kg/cm2

    What is the need of dry system?


    It has some good characteristics over

    the wet system:1-Huge quantity of water is saved. 2-Power consumption is less. 3-Reduction in surface pollution. 4-Earning, by selling dry ash to cement factory & bricks manufacturer.

    Components of dry system


    K-pump P.D.pump Centac compressor Acher silo

    K-pump
    It is nothing but the combination of

    silo,Transfer vessel,Dispencing vessel & Centrifugal compressor. D & E station has common K-pump C & F station has another common Kpump.

    Working Principle of K- pump


    It works on the principle of pressure

    difference.

    Its operation is sequential ,because

    Dome Valves from DV-1 to DV-6 operate in sequence.

    Acher Silo
    Finally Dry ash is disposed to acher silo

    which is located in AEC campus.


    These are 2 in nos.

    Each has capacity of 750 ton .

    There are 2 system of loading :-

    1-For truck - water spray system 2-For tankers by gravity

    Use of Fly Ash


    For building construction
    For Cement manufacturing For bricks manufacturing Ash customers:-

    1-Gujrat ambuja cement 2-Binani cement, laxmi cement 3-GCL (RCC pipe mfg.)

    Fly Ash used in Bldg. Mat.

    Ghodasar Shriji Complex

    RCC road from Crusher house to Coal JN - M

    Future strategies
    Now a days we are using almost dry

    system. In future our planning is to stop whole wet system except bottom ash which is only 20%. For loading trucks & tankers we are thinking about loading in night shift too.
