Essential NOCs for Thermal Power Projects

-

 

 NOCs are typically obtained during the pre-establishment and pre-operation phases of the project. Missing any of these can delay commissioning or lead to legal complications.

·        Land Use Clearance from local authorities

·        Fire Safety NOC from the Fire Department

·        Building Plan Approval from Urban Development Authority

·        Factory License under the Factories Act, 1948

How to design Air Cooled Condenser and specification guideline:

-
  How to design ACC and specification guideline: 1.     Fundamental design consideration: ·        Heat Load and Performance: Size the ACC at maximum steam flow and heat rejection duty at peak ambient temperature ( often summer ambient dry bulb temperature consider). The process margin and extreme conditions are also considered. ·        Low ITD means larger size ( size of the ACC inversely proportional to ITD), ITD is maintained 15-16deg.C ·        ITD = TCond – Tamb, ITD= Initial temperature difference ·        Heat Load/ ITD = Constant ·        Q rejected = U.A. LMTD where U is heat transfer coefficient, A is surface area of the      condenser ·        Thermal duty= Q(required)= Ms x(h steam at turbine exhaust – h condensate), Ms is steam flow at tu...

How to improve efficiency of AFBC Boiler

-
  How to improve efficiency of AFBC Boiler: 1.       Optimize combustion air supply:   Boiler is designed for particular air and fuel ratio. This ratio also related to excess O2 which is measured after APH . There is minimum excess O2 is to be maintained by tuning the air flow into the furnace. Typically, in AFBC and CFBC boiler excess O2 is maintained 2-3% in optimum operating condition. There are two types of air supplied in this type of boilers, one is primary air (PA) and another is Secondary Air (SA). There is also a ratio between the PA and SA air. PA is basically help to fluidise the bed and secondary air is used to create turbulence at the free board zone for better combustion. 2.       Improve Feed Water Temperature: Raising feed water temperature basically increase the cycle efficiency by reducing the fuel consumption. Every 6deg.C rise in feed water temperature increase the efficiency by 1%. 3.   ...
