Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL), an integrated power plant equipment manufacturer, has developed a new Boiler with Fuel flexibility of Indigenous & Imported Coals. BHEL is now ready to offer the new boiler design to overcome these issues. BHEL has extensive in-house experience of working with a great variety of indigenous as well as imported coals over the years.
This new boiler design is based on a unique combination of indigenous and imported coals but is capable of firing both extremes of 100% domestic coal as well as 100% imported coal. It will provide developers with much needed freedom regarding the ratio of blending as well as the characteristics of the domestic and imported coal to be blended.
This enables the boiler to work over the entire range of blending ratios and would protect the project developer against the vagaries in coal availability, thereby providing him with an opportunity to operate the plant throughout the year.
BHEL has an advanced state of the art Coal Research Centre at its Tiruchirapally plant which will be used to identify the unique combination of blended coal after carrying out the analysis of imported and domestic coal samples supplied by the customers. The associated boiler auxiliaries, also manufactured by BHEL, will be designed to accommodate the variation during firing of different type of fuels.
