EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATE FUELS IN THERMAL POWER PLANT

To reduce the rate of emission level from the present rate of measures, it decided to blend 50% bio fuel like Indian paddy husk, wood chips, saw dust and ground nut shell along with 50% of Indonesian coal then conducted a test run for few hours and found there was considerable rate of reduced emission level compare with 100% coal fired pattern. Hence it is decided to go with 50% of bio-fuel along with 50% coal during the every initial startup of the boiler until reaches the standard operating parameter. Normally any ESP has to charge only after the reaches of flue gas temperature for about 150 degree Celsius. Otherwise flue gas should not be admitted into ESP to avoid Acid Dew Point (ADP), which will lead to formation of oxidation, corrosion, erosion, etc., which will ultimate result in damage of the equipment. Introducing Bio-fuel in electricity generation by thermal power plants can significantly reduce the emissions of greenhouse and polluting gases. This methodology provides a useful tool for inventory preparation in a sector where measured values for emissions factors are very sparse
