INVESTIGATION OF PARTICULATE CONTROL IN THERMAL POWER PLANT USING ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR

Analysis of particulate control in thermal power plant using electrostatic precipitator has been carried out by using standard mathematical models supplemented by the relevant data collected from Korba East Phase (Ph)-III thermal power plant, under Chhattisgarh State Electricity Board (CSEB) operating at Korba, Chhattisgarh, India. The mathematical models have been used to predict the emission level for different parameters of ESP. In this paper focuses on the Indian power scenario in view of Coal based thermal power generation. Several types of pollutants emitted from power plant are considered but the main focus of this paper is air pollutants emitted from thermal power plants. It is shown that significant improvement in thermal efficiency and environment advantages may be obtained for a coal based thermal power plant.
