2.0 Introduction of the Project /Background Information

2.1 Identification of project and project proponent

N.N. GLOBAL MERCANTILE PVT. LTD. is a Private Limited company duly

registered under the companies Act. The directors of the company are Mr.

Inishpal Singh Bhatia, Mr. Ravinderpal Singh Bhatia.

N .N. GLOBAL MERCANTILE PRIVATE LIMITED is engaged mainly is

beneficiation and sizing of raw coal for different end users of coal. The company

supplies coal to various bulk consumers who desire quality coal. Company

acquires coal from the mines of Western Coalfields Limited (WCL) through other

available sources and supplies the upgraded coal to customers as per their size

and quality requirement.

2.2 Brief description of nature of the project

This is a modification project of existing 2.0MTPA Deshaled Coal crushing plant

to 2.0MTPA wet coal washery at survey no.131/2, 131/2, &131/4 village:Muthara,

Tehsil:Rajura, District: Chandrapur(MS).Total area of the project is 5.57ha. In

existing project coal is crushed sized as per requirement of end user. Now it is

proposed to modify the process by up gradation to wet coal washery.

2.3 Need of the project its importance to the country and or region Indian coal has drift origin, resulted in intimate mixing of mineral matter with coal,

giving rise to the ash content. The coal-ash distribution in the coal matrix in

Indian coal is so interwoven that coal is essentially required to be crushed to

small sizes for affecting liberation of coal and ash particles.

Coal beneficiation largely depends on gravity difference of coal and ash particles.

The Near Gravity Material (NGM) at any specific gravity of cut is high, which

means at any specific gravity of cut there is quite good amount of misplacement

of coal towards sink and vice versa.

7

Coal based power plants will continue to play a leading role in power generation

in our country. About 70% of country’s power is generated from coal-based

power plants. The quality of the coal plays an important role in the environmental

aspects of a power plant.

The quality of Indian coal is mainly attributed to its origin. Due to drift origin of

Indian coal, inorganic impurities are intimately mixed in the coal matrix, resulting

in difficult beneficiation characteristics. Over 200 million tonnes of coal reach the

consumers with ash content averaging 40 percent as per the CPCB report (Clean

Coal Initiatives June 2000). High ash content in the coal supplied to the power

plants not only poses environmental problems but also results in poor plant

performance and high cost for Operation & Maintenance and ash disposal.

Based on review undertaken by MOEF, use of beneficiated/blended coal

containing ash not more than 34 percent in power plants was stipulated by

MOEF vide Notification GSR 560 (E) & GSR 378 (E) dated 19th September 1997

and 30th June 1998):

Clean coal technologies are being practiced in coal washeries in India, as pre-

combustion clean coal technology, mainly focus on cleaning of coal by removing

ash from coal.

Earlier only coking coal was being washed because steel making needs coking

coal of ash of 17 to 18%. The raw coal ash in Indian coal varies from 35 to 40%.

Now-a days, Min. of Environment & Forests has put restriction on the use of high

ash coal in power sectors, which necessitated priority to wash non-coking coal

also.

In view of the above M/s N .N. GLOBAL MERCANTILE PRIVATE LIMITED has

proposed to modify the existing deshaled coal crushing plant to wet coal washery

with total annual production 2.0 Million tons.

2.4 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to project The local area will be benefited by way of generation of employment

opportunities, increased demand for local product and services. There will be an

overall improvement in the income level of the local people.

8

The project creates employment to about 51 person ones the plan comes to the

operational stage and for 50people during construction stage. Top priority will be

given to local for semi-skilled and unskilled jobs. With development of this plant

there will be lot of scope for more ancillary development, which in turns will

benefit the nation.

vibro feeder of 350 TPH Capacity ,fitted below 60 Tons Capacity underground

Coal receiving steel hopper and it will discharge coal to double deck primary

screen having top deck of 50 mm and bottom deck of 12/16 mm opening .The

bottom deck coal will be Conveyed through BC 3 Conveyor of 100 TPH capacity

. discharging the same to BC7 Conveyor carrying the underflow of single Deck

Screen The plus 12/16 mm coal of top deck will discharge.on 1400 mm. wide &

1200mm long Picking belt. The Extraneous materials will be manually Picked &

Stacked on ground. There will be two way chute at the Discharge point of

picking belt Conveyor to be fed either to 150 TPH Double Roll Crusher or to BC

3A bell Conveyor of 150 TPH Capacity

PROCESS FOR TWO-WAY CHUTE FEEDING TO 150 TPH D/R CRUESHR :

The plus 12/16 mm picked Coal will be fed to D/R Crusher for Crushing plus 50

mm Coal to minus 50 mm and thus 0-50 Crushed Coal will be fed to Single

Deck Secondary Screen of 150 TPH Capacity having12 mm top deck opening

The overflow of Secondary Screen of plus 12/16 mm will be conveyed by 150
