ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND
MITIGATION MEASURES
Categories of Impact:
• A+/-: Significant positive/negative
impact is expected
• B+/-: Positive/negative impact is
expected to some extent
• C+/-: Extent of positive/negative impact
is unknown. (A further examination is
needed, and the impact could be
clarified as the study progresses)
• D: No impact is expected
IMPACTS:
MITIGATION MEASURES:
• ESP: >99.7% efficient
• FGD: >80% efficient, gypsum disposal
• Low Nox burners
• Stack height: 210 m
• Ash disposal
– Demarking, lining, monitoring, sprinkling
• Dust suppression and extraction
• Noise control: <55dB
• Port capacity: 2 Million tons annually
• Waste management
• Water extraction control: 0.5 cumec extracted ,0.01
cumec returned
EMP
EMPs:
• Waste Management Plan
• Construction Management Plan
• Coal Dust Management Plan
• Ash Management Plan
• Fire Emergency Response Plan
• Transportation Management Plan

Environmental impact assessment of 660 mw thermal power plant

Editor's Notes

  • #10 1. Super critical system, Once-through boiler with pulverized coal (PC) firing 2. Single reheat condensing, tandem-compound steam turbine 3.Totally enclosed, three phase, 50Hz, synchronous generator 4. Auxiliary plants; coal handling system, ash handling system, water treatment system
  • #13 The steam condition of 24.1MPa/ 593°C / 593°C, regarded as USC here,
  • #19 In geology, we have to consider that how much this area is under the hazard of earthquake. Study area lies
