3. With deep reverence and profound gratitude I express
sincere thanks to Mr. Tapas Patra (General Manager of
KTPS) and also to Mr. Uttam Pal (Training Cell
Department) for giving me an opportunity to do
training at KTPS and would like would like to thank Mr.
Biman Bihari Pal (AM,PS) ,who was helping me at the
working sites, exlpaining and giving me all the
information I needed to complete this report. I also
very much thankful to Mr. Aloke Sarkar (Control
MGR,AHP), Sourav Saha (AM,PS), Mr.Goutam Karmakar
(Safety in Charge), for helping me and Mr. Arnab
Chaterjee (AM,PS) through out yhe training
At last I would like to convay my thanks to all the
member of the staff of KTPS who have help me at every
stage of training
TRAINING PERIOD: 30TH JANUARY TO 20TH FEBRUARY,2017
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
12. Amount of Ash Generated
• 20% of the ash will fall directly to the hopper placed
under the furnace. This ash is called BOTTOM ASH
80% of ash will fly along the flue gas and thus called FLY
ASH
Bottom Ash System:
• During bottom Ashing, normally once at every 8 hrs, the mixture of
stored ash/slag and water is allowed to pass to clinker grinder or Excen
crusher by gravity and high velocity jetting water created vacuum under
clinker grinder.
• Each bottom ash hopper is provided with two independent sets of feed
gates, clinker grinders and hydraulic ejectors (Jet Pulsion pump ) with
pipelines. Normally once in every 8 hrs, one set of grinder, feed gate,
ejector put into operation keeping the other set completely stand bye.
Water for the hydraulic ejectors of one Bottom Ash Hopper supplied
through valves
Coarse Ash system:
• Unit-1,2,3 &4
• Eco. Hopper – 1 no.
• S.H. Hopper – 1 no.
• R.H. Hopper – 1 no.
• Bypass Hopper – 2 no.
• Coarse Ash Pulling system- Feeder Ejector System for U#1,2,3 & U#4-
CA Tank
• Unit -5&6
• ECO Hopper-4nos
• APH Hopper-4nos
• Above hopper connected with FA pulling system
13. Fly ash handling
Wet ash handling system
• High pressure water is supplied through nozzles of hydraulic exhauster
creates vacuum
• Air washer washes the air & returns the slurry to slurry line while the
exhauster connected to the air washer through piping is extracting the air
from the Air Intake valve located at the extreme end.
• Interlock: only one header valve of one stream will open at a time and the
two hoppers from two streams can be evacuated in parallel.
Dry ash handling system
• Dry Fly Ash system is divided in 3 main sub systems:
1)Fly ash collection & conveying to Inter Mediate Silo through vacuum
conveying system.
2)Conveying of dry fly ash from IMS to Main Silo through pressure conveying
system.
3)Storage & unloading at Main Silo.
Fly Ash utilisation
• Presently, 16% of the total flyash generation is being utilised in the
country while utilisation in Germany, China & U.S.A. is 100 %, 42% and
65 % respectively.
• The major flyash utilisation areas:
In the manufacture of portland pozzolona cement (ppc), sintered
aggregate, blocks etc.
Manufacture of flyash bricks
Sub-base formation for roads and embankments
Reclamation of low lying area by filling ash
Back filling in the open cast mines
Application in agriculture
Application in Cosmetic industries- Cenosphare-collected from
Ash slurry fumes
51. CONCLUSION
• Industrial training being an integral part of
engineering curriculum provides not only
easier understanding but also helps acquaint an
individual with technologies. It exposes an
individual to practical aspect of all things which
differ considerably from theoretical models.
During my training, I gained a lot of practical
knowledge which otherwise could have been
exclusive to me. The practical exposure
required here will pay rich dividends to me
when I will set my foot as an engineer.
• The training at KTPS was all together an exotic
experience, since work, culture and mutual
cooperation was excellent here. Moreover
fruitful result of adherence to quality control
awareness of safety and employees were fare
which is much evident here
