Details thereof (with approximate

quantities/rates wherever possible) with

source of information data

1.1

Permanent or temporary change

in land use, land cover or

topography including increase

in intensity of land use (w

ith

respect to local land use plan)

-

The proposed

1 X 800 MW Supercritical

Coal based Thermal Power plant

is an

extension to the existing plant. The

requirement of land will be much less due

to integration of facilities like coal

handling & water sy

stems with the other

stages of the plant.

137 acres of existing land will be used for

main plant and other facilities. Additional

230 acres will be acquired for ash pond for

existing and the proposed plants

.

vegetation a

nd buildings?

Yes

The existing vacant land will be levelled

and graded.

1.3

main plant and other facilities. Additional

230 acres will be acquired for ash pond

for existing and

the proposed plants.

processes?

Yes

Coal received from the mines at (

)100

mm size is crushed in the crusher house

to (

generate steam in th

e boiler. The steam

generated in the boiler is expanded in the

HP & LP turbines and power is generated

in the generator which will be transmitted

to grid through switchyard. The steam

after expansion in the turbine is

condensed

in

the

condenser

and

condens

ed steam is recycled back to the

boiler. The hot gases from the furnace

after loosing heat in different areas goes

through the Electrostatic Precipitators
