Salient Features

• BPPL has two (2) 67.5 MW Thermal Power Plant consisting of ISGEC make CFBC type Boilers and straingt condensing type turbine (Siemens make). For evacuation of power, BPPL is connected with 132 KV grid system of OPTCL network through LILO arrangements.
• The raw water for fulfilling plant requirement, is being drawn from Mahanadi River which is approximately at 1 KM distance from Main plant site through a In-take well pump house situated at the river bank.
• The coals are being stored in a coal yard inside the plant site having a storage capacity of 30 days operation approx. Further, the coal are being processed through a Coal Handling Plant (CHP) with a capacity of 500 tonne per hour (TPH) and after processing through crushers, screens and conveyor belt it goes to coal bunker of Boilers for further feeding into the Boiler furnace. The Power is being generated @ 11 KV and stepped up to 132 KV for connectivity with 132 KV Grid system.
• Ash Handling system is designed to handle up to 60 % ash in Coal. Fly Ash Silo storage capacity - 2 x 1500 Tonnes. Bed Ash Silo storage capacity - 1000 Tonnes. The Ash generated is utilized in nearby brick and cement plants.
• Mahanadi River is the source of water supply to fulfil process requirement of plant. The water treatment plant broadly consists of Pre-treatment plant, filtration and DM plant. Raw Water Storage Capacity of 60000 cum sufficient for 7 days of plant requirement.
• A zero discharge system is adapted by reusing all the waste water for Ash conditioning before discharge, road sprinkler Coal yard dust suppression etc.
