Left is a generating station

coal handler opening doors under a coal wagon. The coal falls into a large hopper and

then onto a conveyor belt, right, that transports the coal to storage or directly to the

main boiler. Coal fired power stations can burn more than 1000 tonnes of coal per day.

The coal is transferred to the crushers before being conveyed to the main boilers.

Coal is transported into the plant by way of five different conveyors. Before it enters the plant, the coal is tested for heat value, sulphur content and other

qualities and is crushed further. Any pieces of iron in the coal are also separated. The coal is stored in large bunkers before passing through coal feeders that

measure the amount of coal needed to make

Soot Blowers are used for boiler maintenance

Steam enters the turbine from the main boiler at 124 bar (1,800 psi) and at 540ºC (1000ºF).

Turbine and generator turn at 3,600 rpm generating 100 megawatts of electricity. (Enough power to illuminate one million 100 watt light bulbs).
