FUEL

1. What is mean by Fuel
A fuel is any material that can be made to react
with other substances so that it releases energy
as thermal energy or to be used for work. The
concept was originally applied solely to those
materials capable of releasing chemical energy
but has since also been applied to other sources
of heat energy such as nuclear energy

2. Types of Fuel
• Non Renewable energy Fuels :- Coal, Furnace Oil ,LPG,CNG.
( This fuel will end one day)
• Renewable Energy Fuels :- Biomass, Briquettes,Pallets
( This fuel is generated by agro waste)

3. Introduction
• Boilers/furnaces are being used for more than 400 years now
to produce water, steam, or heat in multiple industries
• The primary heat source i.e. fuel used for running the
furnaces/boilers in industries is heavy oil, light oil, gas
- Coal is used but mainly by thermal power plants
• In India, the boilers are regulated by Indian Boilers
Regulations, 1950
– Under this regulations, all the boilers are required to be
inspected and certified by the person authorized under
these regulations

4. Introduction
Industries where boilers/furnaces are used include:
 Steel
Refinery
Petrochemical
Cement
Sugar
Distillery
Pharmaceutical
Fertilizer
Paper
Chemical
Non ferrous metal
Textile
Paper
Food
steel

5. Calorific value of some fuel
Fuel calorific value moisture%
Coal 3500-5200 10-30
Wood 2500-3500 30-50
Furnace oil 7500-8000 5- 15
LPG 10500 ---
Diesel 9000-9500 ---
Pallets 3800-4700 5-8

6. Types of Boiler
• Types of boiler use in Industry are
AFBC Boiler
CFBC Boilers
Biomass fired boilers
Wood fired boilers
Furnace oil fired boiler
Gas fired boilers
Pallets fired boilers
Above all boilers can run on pallets directly or
with burner.

7. Types of Fuel Available in Maharashtra
• In Maharashtra following fuels are available
• Agro waste
• Coal
• Wood
• Diesel
• Furnace oil
• LPG/LNG
• Biomass Briquettes
• Biomass pallets

8. Introduction
• With the growing competition in industry, cost efficiency is of utmost
importance
• Increased awareness about sustainable and environment friendly
solutions and energy efficiency solutions
• Biomass fired boilers and furnaces have started gaining momentum
• For companies with existing oil or gas fired boilers/furnaces, it may not be
feasible to invest on new boilers/furnaces unless and until there is an
expansion plan
• Considering this challenge for existing companies, Energy Dynamics has
come up with an alternative for existing companies with the following
objectives:
– Cost reduction thereby leading to higher profits
– Minimal investment in making changes to the existing boilers/furnaces
for implementation
– Sustainability i.e. use of clean and green source of energy thereby
reducing the carbon footprint of the company

9. Value Proposition
• We understand that your company has boilers/furnaces which are fired by oil
or gas
• Energy Dynamics proposes to take the contract for running the boiler/furnace
for your company whereby the following would be the way forward:
– The company would need to invest a small amount of about INR 2-3 lacs in
purchasing an assembly which would make the boiler/furnace compatible to
run using biomass pellets – Energy Dynamics would assist the company in this
– Energy Dynamics would use biomass pellets for firing the boiler/furnace
– Energy Dynamics would ensure that there are cost savings to the company in
this process
• Energy Dynamics would make sure the following:
– Seamless running of the business operations
– Energy efficiency
– Cost efficiency

10. Mahagenco Thermal Power plant
Name of Plant MW
• Chandrapur Super Thermal Power Station - 2920 MW.
• Koradi Thermal Power Station - 3660 MW.
• Khaparkheda Thermal Power Station - 1340 MW.
• Bhusawal Thermal Power Station - 1420 MW.
• Nashik Thermal Power Station - 630 MW.
• Parli Thermal Power Station - 1130 MW.
Total Power Generation By MAHAGENCO= 11100 MW

11. NTPC Power plant in Maharashtra
• Mouda ( Nagpur) 2,320 MW
• Solapur (Solapur) 1320 MW
Total Power Generation by NTPC= 3640 MW

12. Private Power Plant In Maharashtra
 Sinner Power Plant 1350 MW
 GMR Power Warora 600 MW
 Adani power Titrora 3300MW
 Vidharaba Energy 600 MW
 Ideal Energy 270 MW
 Gupta Energy 120 MW
 Rattan Energy 1350 MW
 JSW Power 1200 MW
 Adani Mumbai 600 MW
 Wardha Power 540 MW
 Dhariwal Power 600 MW
 Tata Power 980 MW
Total Power Generation in Private sector =11500 MW

13. Total Power generation in Maharastra
• By MAHAGENCO = 11100 MW
• By NTPC = 3640 MW
• By Pvt. Party = 11500 MW
Total = 26400 MW

14. Coal Required/Day for big size power
plant
Total Power generated/Day =26400 MW
Coal required/MW =0.87 ton
Coal Required/Hr =0.87*26400*0.75=17000TPH
Coal Required/Day =17000*20= 3,40,000 TPD
If we consider 5% Renewable fuel(Pallets) then
total requirement of Biomass Pallets is
=340000*5%=17000 TPD

15. Drawback of coal
 Higher sulphur % which decrease life of boiler
 Emmission of co2 is more
 Moisture % is more ( Approximate 25%)
 Ash % is more than 20%
 Not available in all area so transport cost is
higher
 Ash disposal is serious issue.

16. Adventages of Pallets
• Sulphur % is low so corrosion is less
• CO2 emission is very low
• Will generates employments by making pallets
• Will make pallets near by Power generation unit
so transport cost is very low
• Moisture % is very low ( below 5%)
• Ash % is very low ( Below 5%)
• Ash is used as soil impurity again
• Also farmers can get extra income by selling Agro
waste/Bamboo

17. Use of Pallets in steel Industry
• In Jalna there are 2 types of steel industry in which
1 scrap is melted and pour this liquid in mould for this they
are using Induction Heating system( 60%)
2 cold billates are reheated to make different types of steel
in which they are using coal as fuel.
In 2 process we can replace coal by Biomass pallets. In jalna
steel industry approximate 400 ton coal is required to
reheat the steel that can be completed replaced by pallets
in that case 400 Ton bamboo may be used as raw material
for making pallets. if we 50 ton raw material/acre then we
required8 acres bamboo per day means 3000 Acres
bamboo only for Jalna Steel industry only

18. Use of Pallets in Cremation ground
• In Cremation ground we are using wood as
fuel for burning the body. For one body
approximate we are using 300 to 400 kg of
wood and diesel . If we use biomass pallets
then we can burn one body in 60 to 80 kg
biomass pallets and it will take only 20 to 25
min to burnt full body. ( In maharashtra
approximate more than 1000 ton wood is
required per day to burnt body if we use
pallets we can save 1000 ton tree per day)

19. How to use biomass pallets in industry
In industry we can use pallets directly to AFBC as
well biomass fired boiler but for Furnace oil as
well as for Gas fired boilers we have to use
pallet Burner who convert solid form to
Gaseous form.
Also for making producer gas we can use pallets
with burner for making producer gas.

20. Substitute fuel for furnace oil in
industry
• In some industry nearby Mumbai they have low
space for boiler as well as storage of fuel so they
are using furnace oil fired boilers as it requires
low area but if we use pallets we can run that
furnace oil boilers with pallet fire but we have to
use pallets burners which converts solid in to
gaseous form and requires only 20 feet* 20 feet
extra area for conversion and fuel storage. Also
we can save approximate 50% fuel cost. ( in
nearby Mumbai app. 2000 boiler are available)
