Abstract |
Ash disposal in particular and environment management in general has become a second important activity after generation of power by thermal method. A typical coal based thermal power plant in taluka of Umred, Vidarbha is selected, generating power around 2 x35 MW/day. Total Ash Bund area is around 4.5 ha. Daily Coal consumption is around 650 TPD to generate 35 MW/day. Daily water consumption is around 380 cum/day. Optimum daily power generation is around 32-34 MW/day. Per day slurry bottom ash pumped in to Ash Pond is 52 TPD. Ash Bund water /shallow aquifer water due to ash bunds has helped the agriculturist in the vicinity of said thermal power plant. This study reveals that ash water is a boon to farmers and continue to reap benefits of ample water availability and did not have any negative impact on agricultural produce.
