(Supercritical Unit) Date: 02.05.2011: 1 X 660 MW TPP For Visa Power Limited at Raigarh

The document calculates the flue gas flow rate from a proposed 660 MW supercritical coal power plant unit in Raigarh, India. It determines that with a coal consumption rate of 563 tons per hour, the resulting flue gas flow rate would be 635.3 normal cubic meters per second or 38,115 normal cubic meters per hour. The calculation is based on the coal composition, oxygen requirements for complete combustion, excess air used, and conversion to standard temperature and pressure.

1 X 660 MW TPP for Visa Power Limited at Raigarh

(Supercritical Unit) Date: 02.05.2011

CALCULATION OF FLUE GAS FLOW :

Coal Consumption Rate


As per Visa 600MW unit's Steam Generator Data,
Worst Coal Requirement = 536 TPH (at 100% BMCR condition)
In absence of 660 MW unit's coal consumption data,
we use coal consumption data of 660MW unit as a certain margin on the above data for coal
Margin considered = 5% (as advised by Pradoshda on 2.5.11)
Coal Consumption rate = 562.8 TPH
563 TPH (say)

Assumptions
1) Atmospheric moisture is not considered
2) No carbon mono-oxide is present in flue gas as combustion is complete
3) NOx formation is not considered
4) Excess air for combustion is taken as 20%

ULTIMATE ANALYSIS OF COAL (WORST COAL)

Carbon 29.03%
Hydrogen 2.15%
Sulphur 0.60% 12kg Carbon and 32kg Oxygen produce 44kg Carbon di-oxide
Oxygen 7.62% 2kg Hydrogen and 16kg Oxygen produce 18kg Water
Nitrogen 0.60% 32kg Sulpher and 32kg Oxygen produce 64kg Sulpher di-oxide
Ash 44.00%
Moisture 16.00%
TOTAL: 100.00%

Carbon 0.2903 2.67 0.7741 1.0644
Hydrogen 0.0215 8 0.172 0.1935
Sulphur 0.006 1 0.006 0.0120
Oxygen 0.0762
Nitrogen 0.006 0.006
Ash 0.44
Moisture 0.16 0.1600
Total 1 0.9521 1.0644 0.0120 0.006 0.3535

Oxygen required for complete combustion of 1 kg fuel is


Wo2 = 2.67C + 8H + S - O , where O is the oxygen present in the fuel

Total Oxygen required from atmosphere = 0.9521 - 0.0762 kg


= 0.8759 kg for per kg of fuel

So minimum amount of air required = ( 0.8759 x 100 ) / 23.15 kg


= 3.7837 kg
Since, atmospheric air contains 23.15%
Nitrogen in the above air = ( 3.7837 x 76.85 ) / 100 kg O2 by weight and rest is N2.
= 2.9078 kg
Since, complete combustion of fuel cannot be achieved if only the theoritical air is supplied. Excess air is always
needed for complete combustion.
Considering 20 % excess air for combustion
Total oxygen in excess air = 0.20 x 0.8759 kg
= 0.1752 kg

Nitrogen in excess air = (0.1752 x 76.85/23.15)


= 0.5816 kg

Total nitrogen in flue gas (2.9078 + 0.5816 + 0.006) kg


= 3.4954 kg/kg of fuel

Weight of Flue Gas = 5.1005 kg/kg of fuel burnt

So, for 563TPH coal firing rate as mentioned above,


Flue gas flow rate shall be = 2871567.52 kg/hr

CO2 1.0644 44 0.0242 13.88

N2 3.4954 28 0.1248 71.61
H2O 0.3535 18 0.0196 11.27
total 5.1005 0.1743 100.00

Now, molecular wt of flue gas (wet basis) :


0.44x13.88+0.64x0.11+0.32x3.14+0.28x71.61+0.18x11.27
= 29.26
and molecular wt of flue gas (dry basis)
(29.26-0.18x11.27)/(1-0.1127)
= 30.7

At N.T.P (00C, 760 mm Hg) 30.7 gm flue gas occupies volume of 22.4 litre
So, 1 tonne flue gas occupies (22.4/30.7)x1000 m3 = 729.6 m3 at 00C,760 mm Hg

We have to find flue gas flow in Nm3/s where Nm3 corresponds to 250C,760 mm Hg (STP)
So, 1 tonne flue gas occupies 729.6 m3 = 729.6x298/273 Nm3 = 796.4 Nm3 at 250C,760 mm Hg
Now, Weight of flue gas / Kg of coal burnt = 5.1005 kg

Taking coal consumption rate 563 t/h, flue gas flow rate will be
5.1005x563x1000/3600 kg/s
797.66 Kg/s
Flue gas flow rate in Nm /s will be
3

5.1005x563x796.4/3600 Nm3/s
= 635.3 Nm3/s

38115.3 Nm3/hr
