• 1-APRIL 3 -2012 - Scarcity of water for thermal power projects is likely to affect electricity generation in Maharashtra in summer. The dipping lake levels might force the Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited (MahaGenco) to shut down a 250 mega watt (MW) set at the Paras thermal Power station in May.
• 2-In April 2010, lack of sufficient water in the Erai dam, which supplies water to the 2,340MW Chandrapur super thermal power station, had led to the partial shutdown of the plant, which had further compounded the power crisis in the state during summer

Sustainability
The earth, the air, the land and the water are not an inheritance from our fore fathers but on loan from our children. So we have to handover to them at least as it was handed over.. There is a sufficiency in the world for man’s need but not for man’s greed..
Mahatma Gandhi

Sustainable development is development
that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’ (WCED, 1987).

D -Dry Ash Evacuation system
- Use of High Conce Slurry Disposal (HCSD) for fly ash
-Wet ash handling through slurry can also be shifted to dry ash handling by use of ‘hydro bins’ where water is separated from the ash slurry within the plant and the dry lumps are conveyed to the ash dykes through conveyer belts

E- Optimizing Ash Water ratio
Typical design of ash water ratios are around 1:5 for fly ash and 1:8 for bottom ash. However, the actual combined ash water ratios are found to be around1:20 or even more.

By Regeneration contamination can be removed partially
and this water can be reused in other processes.

3-Regeneration and Reuse
46
Regeneration Recycling refers to the situation where water
is re-used in an operation through which it has already passed. In this case, the regeneration step must be capable of removing contaminants which build up in the system .

Reducing drinking water consumption
• The per capita water consumption in township 600-
800 liter/day/person
• WHO norms of 115 liter/day/person
• A luxury in majority of the colonies.
• Lack of awareness.

Reducing leaks and over flows
Leakages from valves, taps, fire fighting hoses, underground fire fighting lines, cooling tower basin, gardening hoses area also a source of water loss. Overflows from cooling towers of AC plants, and overhead tanks due to non-functioning of float systems are also a common feature in thermal power plants. There lies a possibility of reducing the water consumption by plugging the leakages

Waste water recycling
The installation of wastewater treatment plants will enable recycling 60-80 per cent of the wastewater generated which can be used for purposes like gardening, green belt development, dust suppression and fire fighting.

Road Map for Water Sustainability
65
Road Map for Sustainability (Actionable )
• Once through cooling system should be changed to closed cycle system
• Wet ash handling system should be changed to dry system.
• Overflows should be recycled, leakages plugged,
and wastewater reduced.
• Firefighting water must not be used for any other
purpose.
• Township water supply has to be rationalized and supply and tariff norms to be set
66
• For zero water discharge ,wastewater is to be treated and recycled.
• Automation for flow measurement and water quality for MIS.
Road Map for Sustainability (Actionable )
67
Roadmap for Sustainability (Policy)
• Water audit should be made mandatory .Because
“ What is not measured ,can not be controlled”
• To improve water-use efficiency across industry, a central monitoring agency, viz., Bureau of Water Efficiency is to be set up in line with BEE. Agency should train and certify water auditors
• Water use standards for thermal power plant
must be established considering economic and social viability
• Independent Water Regulators are to be appointed for water consumption and pricing in different sectors
68
CONCLUSION
69
CONCLUSION
• Freshwater resources and reliable electrical energy are inextricably linked. Thermoelectric generation requires a sustainable, abundant, and predictable source of water. Power plants will increasingly compete for freshwater with the domestic, commercial, agricultural, & other industrial consumers.
• Due to capacity addition and size of NTPC , current technology needs should be further leveraged with state-of-the-art systems for recycling , reuse and reduction of water.
70
CONCLUSION • After tax audits & mandatory corporate social
responsibility norms, the government is set to introduce mandatory water audit and yearly water footprint disclosures in annual reports. This will encourage Indian companies to adopt the best International practices on water use efficiency for Sustainable Growth.
• Access to water and water availability remains a key factor in ensuring the sustainable development of India. The efforts by NTPC UNCHAHAR to use this precious resource more efficiently are an integral part of the top management’s commitment to sustainable development
