CHAPTER – I
INTRODUCTION
1. Government of India with its X and XI five year plans, has set up a target of adding
100,000 MW of power generation capacity by the year 2012 to meet the increased
power demand due to rapid industrial growth and large scale use of electricity for
irrigation, domestic and commercial purposes. This massive capacity addition cannot be
met only by Public sectors. Therefore, Government of India has liberated its policies for
increased investments in the new power projects for private participation. The
enactment of Electricity Act 2003 has already initiated renewed interest on part of the
private investors and more accelerated efficient development of power sector. As a part
of policy liberalisation, Government has also taken steps in allocation of coal mines to
the private entrepreneurs, those who are able to set up power projects.
2. The state of Orissa is part of the Eastern Regional Electricity Grid comprising mainly the
States of Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Sikkim. Upto Sept’2007, the
installed generation capacity in the Eastern Region was 17255 MW. The demand of
electricity has been increasing in the Eastern Region also due to large scale growth of
industrialization, domestic and commercial purposes. The demand for electricity in the
state of Orissa has also been steadily increasing due to the same reasons.
3. As indicated above the demand for electrical power will continue to be greatly in excess
of the generating capacity. Further, the prevailing power generation scenario in the
state reveals that the demand for power will continue to outstrip the available and
planned generation capacity.
4. M/s Jindal Photo Ltd.(JPL) has been allotted Mandakini coal block in share basis with
other two Power Companies, in Talcher Coal Field area. The extractable coal reserves
of this block is about 290.5 MT. Out of this 290.5 MT, the share of JPL is around 100
MT. JPL has also been awarded a coal linkage of 1.204 MTPA from Mahanadi
Coalfields Limited (MCL) . M/s Jindal Thermal Power Ltd.( JITPL) an SPV promoted by
Jindal Photo Ltd., a company registered at 56/2 Hanuman Road, New Delhi 100001,
proposes to install a power plant of 1x600 MW capacity expandable to 2x600 MW in
phased manner based on coal from Mandakini coal block and the coal linkage from
MCL. The ultimate capacity of the proposed power plant would be 1200 MW. The land
for locating the proposed power plant has been identified near village Pirhasahi in the
district of Angul, Orissa state.
1
5. 25% of generated electricity from the proposed plant will be purchased by the Govt. of
Orissa by entering into Power Purchase Agreements (PPA). Balance 75% of the power
will be sold through the Power Trading Agencies using Inter-state transmission network.
6. JITPL retained the services of TCE Consulting Engineers Limited (TCE), for preparing a
techno-economic detailed project report (DPR) for the proposed 600 MW thermal power
Plant.
7. The project report would be the base document for clearance of the project from Indian
Financial Institutions (IFI), Foreign Financial Institutions (FFI) and commercial banks
etc. Clearances from various authorities such as Government of Orissa (GOO), Orissa
State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB), Ministry of Environment and Forest (MOEF) will

Necessity of Additional Power Plant
3. Based on the details of load forecast and assessment of generation capacity duly taking
into account the realistic planned additions to the grid and the assistance from the plants
in the Central Sector, it is anticipated that particularly with projected demand the
Northern and Western region, India would experience a deficit in generation capacity of
about 12,922MW by the year 2011-2012. Hence, installation of 1 x 600 MW thermal
powers plant near village Pirhasahi in the district of Angul, Orissa state (with the ultimate
capacity of 1200 MW) and exporting the generated power through interstate grid will be
utilized can be useful to mitigate the projected deficit in other regions.
Features of the Proposed Power Plant Land
(a) JITPL has identified the required land for the proposed power plant. The
proposed power plant site is located near village Pirhasahi in the district of
Angul, Orissa state. JITPL identified an area of 1100 acres in two patches of 700
acres and 400 acres. A road towards village Santri separates the two parts of
5
the land. The total available site area of about 1100 acres is adequate for 1 x
600 MW with the provision of expansion for another 1 x 600 MW plant, for main
plant, power house, transformer yard, switch yard, CW system, water treatment
plant, water reservoir, guard pond and ash disposal area as shown in the Plot
plan (Exhibit-1) including green belt but excluding residential colony.
(b) The project site is approx 5 km south east of NALCO Smelter plant, Angul
(district town) and 3.5 km south of Banarpal. The site is connected from the
junction of two major National highways (NH 23 and NH 42) at Nuahata (on NH
42). The site is about 140 kilometers from the nearest airport at Bhubaneswar
(Orissa). Angul and Talcher are the main towns approachable from existing
road network from Raipur (capital of Chattisgarh state), Cuttack, Bhubaneswar
(capital of Orissa state) Rourkella,
(c) Out of the total 1100 acres of land, major portion of the land belongs to private
owners. JITPL has requested Orissa Govt. for acquisition and allocation of 1100
acres of land to JITPL. The proposed land is barren in nature with little shrubs &
bushes. There are no major settlements/ habitation/ forestry. Hence no
rehabilitation and resettlement is envisaged.
Site Characteristics
4. The sub soil is hard with very few shrubs seen at places. It is expected that hard rock
strata would be available within 2-3 m of the ground level. In the absence of data, open
foundations have been assumed for the major structures and equipment and project cost
is based on this assumption. Detail Geo-technical investigation is required to done
before detail engineering starts.
Access to Site
5. The identified project site is easily accessible by road and rail. The site is located about
3 km from Nauhata Junction on NH42 (From Dhenkanal to Angul/Sambalpur) near
village Pirhasahi in the district of Angul, Orissa state. The nearest airport is
Bhubaneswar (Orissa) and about 140 kilometers connected by NH-42. The nearest
railway station is Burhapank (Broad Gauge) on Bhubaneswar/Cuttack – Angul
Sambalpur section about 5 km away from project site.
Coal transportation is proposed by rail from the coal mine/available coal linkage. New
railway line is to be laid from the coal blocks upto Talcher railway station. The nearest
6
railway station Burhapank (about 10 km away from the site) is well connected with
Talcher through railways. Railway connection is proposed from Burhapank railway
station upto site for transportation of coal.
Water
6. The site is near to source of water viz. River Brahmani which is flowing at about a
distance of 12 km. Water is proposed to be sourced from river Brahmani through
pipeline. The location of intake water pump house would be downstream of the water
intake point of Nalco. The location of the water intake is around 12 km from the plant
site. JITPL has to take up necessary action for the route survey from the river upto plant
site.
Raw Water required for proposed 1 x 600 MW power plant is approx 20 Cusec to be
sourced from river Brahmani. However, with the addition of another 1 x 600 MW water
requirement would be 40 Cusec. JITPL has submitted a water management plan
indicating water requirement of 40 cusec for 1000 MW plant to the irrigation Dept. of
Orissa. JITPL will apply for additional water requirement as and when required. Since
water availability from river Brahmani is limited during lean season, it is proposed to
have storage of 15 days inside the plant boundary to meet the contingency requirement
in the lean season.
Coal
7. The proposed power plant will require coal of about 3.03 MTPA for its 1x600 MW plant
and 6..06 MTPA for the ultimate capacity of 1200 MW based on the calorific value of
3400 kcal/kg and 80% PLF. Coal is proposed to be sourced from the Mandakini coal
block allotted to JPL in share basis in the vicinity of Talcher Coal Fields which is at
about a distance of 65 km from power plant site. JPL has also been awarded a coal
linkage of 1.204 MTPA from MCL.. To cater for the whole plant life with ultimate
capacity of 1200MW, JITPL would require further coal linkage of around 0.856 MTPA .
To convey coal from both the sources, new railway line is to be laid by Indian Railway
(IR) from the coal blocks upto Talcher Railway Station. The nearest railway station
Burhapank which is 10 km away from site is already connected with Talcher. It is
proposed to develop a new siding at Burhapank station by IR and to lay a new railway
line from Burhapank station upto site. JITPL has to take necessary action for laying the
7
rail line & establishing rail linkages from MCL and Mandakini mines to Talcher and from
Burhapank Railway station to plant site.
Power Evacuation
8. A 400 KV switchyard will be installed within plant boundary for evacuation of power. It is
proposed to evacuate the power through 400 KV double circuit lines connecting either to
nearest sub-station at Meramundali or a new planned sub-station at Meramundali by
GRIDCO/OPTCL adjacent to the existing one. It is presumed that the new substation
will have connectivity to Inter-state grid for transmitting the power.
Power Utilisation and Sale of Power
9. Out of the 600 MW of power produced, 25% of generated electricity will be purchased by
the Govt. of Orissa by entering into Power Purchase Agreements (PPA). Balance power
will be sold through the Power Trading Agencies using Inter-State transmission network.
Main Plant Equipment
Steam Generators
10. The steam generators of 600 MW unit would be 100 % coal fired and would be rated to
generate about 2035 t / hr of superheated steam at 182 ata pressure and 540C
temperature. The SG would be of two pass design, radiant, single reheat, balanced draft,
semi-outdoor type. The reheat steam temperature would also be 540C. The steam
generators would be equipped with facilities for fuel oil firing for start-up and for flame
stabilization at low loads.
Steam Turbine Generators
11. The steam turbine would be a three cylinder tandem-compound reheat extraction
condensing type machine, driving a turbo-generator at 3000 rpm to generate 600 MW
continuous output at 0.85 power factor at the generator terminals, with throttle steam
condition of 169 ata and 535 0C and 0.1ata back pressure. The steam generators would
be designed as semi-outdoor equipment while the turbine generator sets with all auxiliary
8
and feed cycle equipment would be located indoors. The parameters indicated above are
preliminary and subject to confirmation by the selected main equipment suppliers.
Coal Handling System
12. The coal handling system envisaged would be capable of handling coal at the rate of
1250 tonnes / hour and would consist of two streams of conveyors from stockyards to
boiler bunkers, one operating and the second one being standby.
Ash Handling System
13. The proposed bottom ash handling system envisages evacuation and transportation of
bottom ash either by conveyor system to bottom ash silo or by hydraulic system and
further as HCSD system for conveying to Ash pond. Fly ash is proposed to be
evacuated by pneumatic (pressurized) system and stored in fly ash storage silos for
onward transportation. Provision would be made in silo to dispose fly ash in dry form for
direct utilization as well as in wet form to disposal area through high concentration slurry
disposal system.
Environmental Aspects
14. The power plant is proposed to use indigenous coal with low Sulphur content. Single
multi-flue 275 meter high RCC chimney (stack) is proposed to be provided to meet the
requirements of the environmental regulations. The steam generators would be
provided with low NOx burners and hence the emission of oxides of Nitrogen from the
steam generator would be minimum.
The steam generators would be provided with electrostatic precipitators to limit the
particulate matter in the flue gas to 100 mg / N cu.m as stipulated by Environmental
Regulations. Environmental clearance for the proposed project needs to be secured
from the State Pollution Control Board. Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment (REIA)
and Comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment (CEIA) studies have to be
completed and report submitted to State Pollution Control Board and Ministry of
Environment and Forests (MOEF) respectively.
9
Adequate provisions are proposed for neutralising the effluents from the water treatment
plant. Effluents from the entire power plant are proposed to be treated and reused in the
power plant to minimise the make-up water requirement.
Project Cost and Tariff
15. Total capital cost including the interest during construction for the proposed 1 x 600MW
project is estimated to be Rs. 2865 Crores (Rs. 4.775 / MW) and the unit cost at 80%
PLF is Rs 2.08 / kWh for the first year of operation when the unit is stabilized. The
levellised tariff of Rs. 1.76 has been calculated considering 25 years of operation.

design, engineering and construction, a commercial operation schedule of 38 months
from the date of placement of order for the main plant equipment and auxiliaries has
been considered for the 600 MW unit. The project is proposed to be executed through a
number of separate package contracts finalised through competitive bidding.

CONCLUSIONS
17. Based on the load forecast in the Eastern Region, assessment of generation capacity
duly taking into account and government liberalization on coal block allotment (for which
Orissa has huge deposits) to private sectors capable of installing power plants and open
policy of selling power to the other parts of the country having deficits in power, the
proposed power plant of capacity 1x600 MW at Angul, Orissa is viable.
The proposed power plant also has all the basic requirements essential for a thermal
power plant viz. land, water, fuel (coal) and power evacuation facilities.
Recommendations
18. To ensure timely completion of the proposed project, it is recommended that early action
on the following activities may be initiated by JITPL.
(a) Discussions with GRIDCO/OPTCL/PGCIL regarding evacuation of power from the

proposed power plant and initiation of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
(b) Securing allocation of use of raw water from the concerned authorities.

CHAPTER – III
NEED AND JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROJECT
PRESENT INSTALLED GENERATION CAPACITY
The cumulative generation of all the individual regional grids (northern, western,
southern, eastern and north-eastern) and islands (Andaman & Nikobar and
Lakshadweep) reflects the total generation capacity of India. The present installed
capacity, in India, as on 30th September, 2007 is 135,781.7MW.
The proposed plant is located in the state of Orissa, which belongs to the Eastern
regional electricity grid, with present total installed capacity of 3247.9MW.
DEMAND FOR ELECTRICAL POWER

Rapid industrialization and increase in commercial and domestic use of electricity are
the main reasons for increase in power consumption. In addition, the government
policies like rural electrification, electricity to all by 2012, development of irrigation
sector, minimum per capita consumption of 1000units/year, etc are also contributing in
increasing the future power demand. To meet the above requirements, the additions in
the power generation capacity will have to match with the future power demands.
The 17th Electric power survey report by CEA provides a quantitative forecast of the
future demands and planned/required capacity additions. Based on the CEA report,
installation of some power projects are already in progress and some are in planning
stage.
Table–III.1 shows the present power scenario of India and Table III.2 presents projected
power and energy demand of India during XIth plan (from year 2007-2008 to the year
2011-2012). This is based on the projection given in the Seventeenth Electric Power
Survey Report of the CEA.

during the first two quarters of 2007-08: about 7.0% (energy deficit in MU) and 12.1 %
(peak deficit in MW).
In addition, as the Table-III.2 indicates, the projected power demand over the next five
years will rise to about 51% (peak in MW) and 40% (energy in MU).

MINISTRY OF POWER’S BLUEPRINT FOR POWER DEVELOPMENT
The Ministry of Power has developed a blueprint to address the power shortage
situation in the country and strategies to overcome it in a time bound manner. Based on
the demand projections, over 100,000 MW of additional generation capacity needs to be
added in the country by the year 2012 to bridge the gap between demand and supply of
power. To achieve the target, already steps have been taken by different electricity
boards to set up new power plants.
The Coal continues to be the prime and economical fuel resource for generating power.
As India is provided with large coal reserve bases which ensure high energy security,
coal has been identified as one of the mainstay fuel for power generation. Emphasis has
been laid on setting up thermal power stations in the vicinity of coal mines to minimize
the fuel transport cost and time.
Eastern Region (including Orissa) with large coal reserves has potential to become
major source of power generation not only to cater its own requirements, but also for
supplying surplus power to the other power deficit regions.
PROJECTED MAJOR POWER DEFICIT REGIONS
As per The 17th Electric power survey report by CEA, the major power deficit regions of
India at the end of XI-th plan would likely to be:
a. Western Region
b. Northern Region
Table-III.3 and Table-III.4 shows the projected power demand, planned capacity
additions and power deficit during the XI-th plan period for the Western and Northern
regions respectively.

** The power availability of the system is less than the total plant capacity
and is dependent on the certain factors.
a) Planned outages due to maintenance, forced outages, etc.

b) Spinning reserve
c) Auxiliary power consumption
16
d) Stabilisation period in case of newly commissioned units
e) Partial non-availability due to poor quality of Indigenous coal, non

availability of gas, uncertain irrigation releases resulting in
uncertainty of hydro generation at peak hours, loss of active
power due to high reactive demand of units.
The power availability is assumed as 66% for all India generation, 80%
for Northern region and 65% for Western region (the figures are assumed
from the peak met and installed capacity figures given in “Power scenario
at a glance-by CEA, October 2007”).
CONCLUSION AND JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROJECT
After study of Tables III.1 through III.5 it is seen that during the XI-th plan period, even
after necessary steps taken by different electricity boards to set up new power plants,
the all India demand for power exceeds the availability. There will be a projected
shortage of about 12,922MW power by the year 2011-12. The major shortfall in all India
demand-supply scenario is especially in the Northern and Western region as evident
from Table-III.3 and Table-III.4.
By the year 2012, Government of India has decided to increase the power generation by
100,000 MW. Coal is identified as the prime fuel for thermal power. The plants located
in the vicinity of the coal mine area will have a greater economic and logistical
advantage in terms of cost of energy. For that reason, to set up a power plant in Orissa
is advantageous as its location is near the large eastern India coal reserve base.
Also, as per the present government rule, any power generating station to be set up in
Orissa should deliver 25% for the home state and the balance 75% can be exported to
the National grid. Thus, the major part of the generated power can be exported and
used in other power deficit regions (especially Northern and Western regions where
there is a projected deficit or power by the year 2011-2012) with greater benefit.
Based on the above, the proposed 600 MW plant can be operated at its maximum
possible load factor which also justifies the need to set up the proposed plant in Orissa.

18
(a) Reasonable distance from coal mines and availability of coal
(b) Availability of land for setting up power plant
(c) Availability of water in adequate quantity throughout the year to meet the
plant water requirement

SITE FEATURES
2. The proposed site for 1 x 600MW units at Angul has the following features:
Location of Site
3.1 The identified site is located about 3 km from Nauhata Junction on NH42 (From
Dhenkanal to Angul/Sambalpur) near village Pirhasahi in the district of Angul, Orissa
state. The project site is approx 5 km south east of NALCO Smelter plant, Angul (district
town) and 3.5km south of Banarpal. The site is connected near the junction of two major
National highways (NH 23 and NH 42) at Nuahata (on NH 42). The site is about 140
kilometers from the nearest airport at Bhubaneswar (Orissa). Angul and Talcher Town
are the main towns approachable from existing road network from Raipur (capital of
Chattisgarh state), Cuttack, Bhubaneswar (capital of Orissa state) Rourkella, Balasore,
Ranchi (capital of Jharkhand state) Vizag & Kolkata. The nearest railway station is
Burhapank (Broad Gauge) on Bhubaneswar/Cuttack – Angul Sambalpur section about
10 km away from project site. Angul Railway Station is main connecting main station
from where all parts of India are connected by broad gauge railway line. The site is
about 12 km south of river Brahmani.
Access to Site
3.2 The identified project site is easily accessible by road from Nauhata junction on NH-42.
The site is located about 3 km from Nauhata Junction on NH-42 (From Dhenkanal to
Angul/Sambalpur) near village Pirhasahi in the district of Angul, Orissa state. The
nearest airport is Bhubaneswar (Orissa) and about 140 kilometers from site. The nearest
19
railway station is Burhapank (Broad Gauge) on Bhubaneswar/Cuttack – Angul
Sambalpur section about 10 km away from project site. Angul Railway Station is main
connecting main station from where all parts of India are connected by broad gauge
railway line.
Coal transportation will be by rail from the coal mine/available coal linkage. New railway
line is to be laid from the coal blocks upto Talcher, railway station. Talcher railway
station is already connected through the rail to the nearest railway station Burhapank
which is 10 km away from the site. it is also required to connect the site from Burhapank
railway station for transportation of coal. It is proposed to develop a new siding at
Burhapank and to lay a new railway line from Burhapank station upto site.
Details of Site and Characteristics of Land
3.3 An area of about 1100 acres in two patches of 700 acres and 400 acres has been
identified. The two parts of the land are separated by a road leading towards village
Santri from Nauhata Junction on NH-42.
The site is about 12 km north of river Brahmani where adequate water is available
throughout the year except very hot summer. Burhapank railway station (Broad Gauge)
on Bhubaneswar/Cuttack – Angul Sambalpur section about 10 km away from project
site. Angul Railway Station is main connecting main station from where all parts of India
are connected by broad gauge railway line.
Out of the total 1100 acres of land, most of the land is under acquisition of private
owners. A small quantity of land is under Govt. The land is free from agricultural crops
and mainly barren with little shrubs & bushes. There are no major settlements/
habitation/ forestry. Hence no rehabilitation and resettlement is envisaged. It is also
understood that due to very poor yield, the farmers are showing least interest towards
cultivation and quite a large portion of the land remained un-used. JITPL has initiated
action of acquiring the land through Govt of Orissa.
200 acres out of 1100 acres will be used for development of ash disposal area for 1 x
600 MW power plant. With the addition of second 600 MW, further 200 acre area will be
used for ash disposal area.
From the topo sheets and site visit, it is observed that Site is having an elevation
difference of about 15 m. The sub soil is presumed to be hard . This level difference will
be utilized for locating main plant, coal handling area and water storage are with
necessary grading. Plant switch yard, has been located considering power evacuation
20
facilities avoiding more grading of land. In the absence of soil characteristics it is
assumed that the foundations of the structures will be with open foundation as good soil
bearing capacity is expected to be available even at lower depths. However, all these
assumptions are to be validated after suitable surveys / studies / investigations.
Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R)
3.4 The proposed site is generally free from habitation. Hence no major R&R is envisaged.
AVAILABILITY OF WATER
3.5 Raw water would be pumped from Brahmani river to the power plant reservoir using
river intake pumps. The intake pump house on the river Brahmani will be located at a
distance of about 12 KM from site. Around 12 km pipe line is proposed to be laid from
intake pump house to plant site. JPL has already applied to Irrigation Department,
Govt. Of Orissa for permission for withdrawal of 40 Cusec water from the river
Brahmani. The river water intake house will be located near village Kamlang. From the
intake site, water will be conveyed along existing road . The tentative pipe route will
require crossing of NH 42 and the railway line from Talcher to Buraphank. Permission
will have to be taken from appropriate authorities for crossing National highway and
railway lines.
COAL SOURCE AND TRANSPORTATION
3.6 Coal requirement for 600 MW power plant is around 3.03 MTPA. For ultimate capacity of
1200 MW the requirement is 6.06 MTPA. It is envisaged that initially coal for this project
would be received from the already available coal linkage of MCL, Talcher area which is
about 35 km from site. This coal linkage is not sufficient for 600 MW power plant. The
proposed power plant will also receive coal from Mandakini Coal block which is 30 km
from Talcher Mandakini Coal Block has been allocated to JPL for captive mining jointly
with Tata Power Ltd and Monnet Ispat & Energy Ltd.. The block has extractable coal
reserves of about 290.5 Million Tonnes. The annual requirement of coal for 1 x 600 MW
power plant is about 3.03 million tonnes considering a plant load factor of 80% and
GCV of 3400 kcal / kg. Considering the coal requirement, the coal mine is also required
to be operational before commissioning of 600 MW unit. The coal handling system
envisaged would be capable of handling coal at the rate of 1250 tonnes / hour and would
consist of two streams of conveyors, one operating and the second one being standby.
21
3.7 Coal from the mines is envisaged to be transported by box type rail wagons on the rail
route to be constructed upto Talcher and further to the railway siding at Burhapank. From
Burhapank siding coal will be received at the power plant and will be unloaded by the
wagon tippler. It is envisaged that railway line from coal mines upto Talcher shall be
constructed by Railway authority. 3 nos. coal rakes are required in a day for 600 MW
power plant. Based on the preliminary estimate of turnaround time of the coal rakes,
Necessary arrangement with railway is to be made for transportation of coal from coal
mine/ coal linkage point upto site.
POWER EVACUATION
4. Power generated in the power station is proposed to be evacuated at 400 kV level. For this
purpose, a 400 kV Switchyard will be provided at the power station. Dedicated double
circuit 400 kV power transmission lines will be constructed upto Meramundli sub-station
(existing/newly planned). It is presumed that the new proposed 400 kV switchyard will
have connectivity to Inter-State grid for evacuation of power. The proposed scheme for
power evacuation is shown in enclosed single line diagram. The units will be connected
to the 400 kV switchyard through generator transformers. The generator transformers
will step up generator voltage of 21 kV to the switchyard voltage of 400 kV.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
5. The nearest town for the proposed power plant site is Angul which is at a distance of about 8
km. No reserve forest exists within the 15 km of the proposed power plant site. Designs
will be carried out taking care of environmental requirements as per norms. All
necessary pollution control measures are being proposed for the power plant.
INFRASTRUCTURAL ASPECTS
6. The site has all the infrastructural requirements for setting up 1 x 600 MW unit. The site
is also suitable for the addition of one more 600 MW unit. It is therefore considered that
this site is suitable for the installation of the proposed power plant.
CHAPTER –V
FUEL LINKAGE AND TRANSPORTATION TO SITE
TYPE OF FUEL
1. The steam generator would be designed primarily for coal firing. LDO would be used for
start-up and flame stabilisation. HFO will be used for load stabilization. However, the
usage of both HFO and LDO or only LDO will be decided during detail engineering.
22
SOURCE OF FUEL AND QUALITY
2. Coal for the project would be Indigenous having about 40 % of ash content with gross
calorific value (GCV) of about 3400 kcal / kg. M/S JPL has been allocated a coal block
(Mandakini) in share basis which is having an extractable reserve of about 100 million
tons of coal in JPL share. JPL has also been awarded a coal linkage of 1.204 MTPA
from Mahanadi Coalfields Limited. JITPL requires a further allotment of 0.856 MTPA
coal for ultimate size of 1200 MW capacity plant .
2.1 The secondary fuel would be HFO as per IS: 1593 and LDO conforming to IS: 1460 for
light up. Fuel oil for the power plant is proposed to be sourced from nearest depot of
HPCL/ BPCL/IOC.
ANNUAL COAL REQUIREMENT
3. The annual estimated coal consumption for the proposed 600 MW power plant is
around 3.03 million tonnes duly considering average GCV value of Talcher coal as 3400
k.Cal / kg and annual plant load factor (PLF) of 80%.
TRANSPORTATION OF COAL TO SITE
4. Coal from the mines is envisaged to be transported by box type rail wagons on the rail
route. From Mandakini coal field area new railway line has to be constructed upto
Talcher station for further transportation from Talcher to Burhapank. Railway authority
may be approached to construct the railway line from coal mine upto Talcher and to
establish the siding at Burhapank. Broad gauge railway line of South Eastern Railways
is existing at the nearest railway station Burhapank which is on the
Bhubaneswar/Cuttack – Angul Sambalpur section about 10 km away from project site.
For constructing the rail line from Burhapank railway station upto plant site, crossing of
the NH-42 would be possible with the following:
One under pass is proposed keeping uninterrupted movements on NH-42. For this a
temporary road diversion is required. Necessary clearance is to be obtained from NHAI
for constructing the under pass on NH-42
M/S JITPL has to start discussion with National Highway Authority of India and Indian
railway on this issue.
23
FUEL OIL REQUIREMENT AND MODE OF TRANSPORT OF FUEL OIL TO SITE
5. HFO and LDO required for the power plant operation be transported from the nearest
terminal by road tanker. The peak requirement of LDO will be during light up and
commissioning where as the peak requirement of HFO will be during the trial operation
and flame stabilization. Accordingly, the peak daily requirements of LDO and HFO are
estimated to be 170 tonnes and 550 tonnes respectively. Fifteen (15) days of oil storage
is envisaged considering the above requirements. Accordingly, the total storage
requirement of HFO and LDO is 7600 cu.m and 2550 cu.m respectively. It is
proposed to install one LDO storage tank of 2600 cu.m and two (2) HFO tanks, each of
4000 cu.m capacity. The HFO tanks will be fitted with steam heated floor coil heaters
for initial heating and to supply fuel oil at the required temperature to the inlet of the
pumping and heating units. All HFO lines shall be steam heat traced and insulated. The
same LDO & HFO tank shall be used for additional unit also.
CHAPTER VI
PLANT LAYOUT AND CIVIL ASPECTS
PLANT LAYOUT
1. The layout of the main plant along with all the auxiliary systems for 1 x 600 MW units is
shown in Exhibit-1 with the future provision of 1 x 600 MW unit. In laying out the various
facilities. consideration have been given to the following general principles:
(a) Predominant wind directions as given by the wind rose are duly taken into
account with a view to minimise pollution, fire risk, etc.
24
(b) Power evacuation corridor for connection to GRIDCO/OPTCL.
(c) Raw water facilities.
(d) Approach road to the power plant from the Nationalhighway NH-42.
(e) All facilities are laid out in close proximity to each other to the extent practicable
so as to accommodate all facilities within the plant boundary.
(f) The layout also facilitates communication of men and materials between the
various facilities both during initial construction also during subsequent operation
and maintenance.
(g) Availability of adequate space for fabrication / construction equipment within the
power plant boundary.
SITE TOPOGRAPHY AND GRADE LEVEL
2. The site for the proposed power station is uneven with small shrubs and bushes. The
general topography of the plot from the survey contour map indicates that it is on
tableland of about 140 m above the mean sea level (MSL) with levels varying between
15-20 m. The entire land is having irregular level ranging from 78 m to 94 m from east
to west from Pirhasahi village, while the land on west side is more undulating with high
land with little bushes and free from any habitation. In the north west direction the level
is around 90 m. The sub soil is seen to be hard with rock out crops seen at many
places. Hence different grade levels of various areas is envisaged considering the
quantity of earthwork involved.
STATION BUILDING - GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
3. The steam turbine generator and auxiliary equipment will be located in the AB Bay of
the building having 34.0 M span. Each unit is accommodated in a length of 10.5 M x 12
bays. Total length of the station building for the one unit will be around 130 M which
includes one common unloading and maintenance bays of 21 M width and one technical
building. The heaters are accommodated in the BC bay (Heater bay) having a span of
10.0 M. The control room / electrical building is located on the side of the station building
to accommodate switch gear, electronic panels and control room. The GA Of station
building has been shown in Exhibit -2 to Exhibit-5.
25
The Turbine Generator bay would be serviced by three floors - ground floor at 0.0 M
level, mezzanine floor at 8.5 M level and operating floor at 17.0 M level. Localised O&M
platforms at required levels would be provided. The Deaerator would be located at EL
31.75 M in the BC bay (heater bay). Road access will be provided to the unloading
and maintenance bays for unloading TG components and auxiliary equipment.
4. The superstructure will be of structural steel framing with brick cladding and RCC floor
slabs. The roof of the TG bay would consist of pre-cast concrete panels supported on
steel trusses. The turbine-generator pedestal would be of reinforced concrete and
would be isolated from the building foundations and super-structure. All structures
would be designed to cater to applicable wind/seismic forces in the area as per relevant
Indian Standards.
STEAM-GENERATOR AREA AND BUNKER BAY
5. The bunker bay would be of structural steel-framed construction, supporting the steel
bunkers. The 12 meter wide bay would have blower room at ground level and floors for
the feeders and for the bunker feeding conveyors provided with trippers. The bunker
bay will be located either at the front side between the furnace in the steam-generator
area and the TG building or rear side between furnace in the steam generator area and
the ESP depending on the manufacturer’s standard. Concrete paving would be provided
in the steam-generator area with necessary drains and trenches. Pipes and cables in
this area would, in general, be routed on overhead pipe/ cable racks.
CHIMNEY
6. Single twin-flue chimney has been considered keeping the provision of addition of
second unit. The total height of reinforced concrete chimney is 275m height with each
flue diameter of 7.3 m with base diameter of around 32-33 m. This would meet the
requirement of Indian Emission Regulation. The flues will be of mild steel construction
with glass wool insulation. The chimney shall be of RCC slip form construction.
CW SYSTEM
26
7. The site is located near Angul and will receive water from Brahmnai river for plant water
requirement. Based on the discussion with the irrigation department Orissa govt. It is
understood that availability of water from Brahmani river may not be sufficient during
summer season to meet plant water requirement. Therefore a raw water reservoir has
been proposed with a reserve of 15 days within the plant boundary to meet the
contingency requirement. Raw water will be stored in the reservoir in the rainy season
after clarification which will be used during summer season. Second reservoir will be
constructed when the second unit will come.
Closed type of CW system with natural draft cooling towers are proposed for the plant.
The make-up water for the river water recirculating system is proposed to be met by
pumping river water from an intake well constructed near Kamlang village downstream
of NALCO intake point. The maximum water level in the river Brahmani at Talcher is
62 m above mean sea level and the minimum level during dry season is 53 m above
mean sea level. The intake point will be designed in line with reservoir parameters.
Dredging in the river is envisaged during lean season when water will flow through the
other bank of the river. The intake point will be designed in line with reservoir
parameters. The CW system would involve the following:
 River water intake pump house.
 River water pipeline from intake to in-plant raw water reservoir.
 CW pump house
 CW pipeline from pump house to condenser, condenser to NDCT and return CW

channels from NDCT towers to pump house
 CW blow down to ash plant.

Silo unloading system will be controlled from the local control panel located at silo
unloading floor.
FLY ASH UTILISATION
19. The fly ash is proposed to be collected in silos and most of it would be utilized /
marketed in dry form. The fly ash which cannot be utilized / marketed would be disposed
to the ash dump area in slurry form or disposed by trucks.
The fly ash generated in thermal power stations has commercial value because of its
usage in cement and construction industries. Fly ash generated from the proposed
power plant would be commercially utilised in one or more of the following industries, to
the extent possible:
a. Cement industry
b. Brick industry
c. Fly ash aggregate making industry
d. Road making / paving
a. Cement Industry
Fly ash is used in the production of Pozzolona cement by intergrinding Portland cement
clinkers and fly ash or by blending intimately and uniformly Portland cement and fly ash.
67
Indian Standard specifications limit the Pozzolona (fly ash or similar material)
component upto 25% by weight whereas in other countries it varies from 15 to 50%.
The advantages of fly ash in the manufacture of Portland Pozzolona Cement (PPC) as
compared to other Pozzolonic materials are two-fold.
I. Better hydraulic properties of fly ash.
II. Cement retains its natural and accepted grey colour instead of becoming mud-red
in case bricks / tiles are used as Pozzolonic materials.
b. Brick Industry
Fly ash produced in modern thermal power stations can be used in making bricks. The
Cement Association of India has conducted research and experiments for making
hollow bricks using fly ash. The Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Roorkee
has also conducted experiments in making bricks by using fly ash as an admixture with
black cotton soil. In this project, bricks of minimum 105 kg/sq.cm strength were
produced by CBRI.
It is reported from Kolaghat thermal station that bricks are being manufactured by local
brick manufacturers with 70% fly ash and 30% clay which give higher strength than
conventional bricks.
c. Concrete / Building Industry
1. Fly ash is used in the building industry largely as a concrete additive. Fly ash can also
be sintered into pellets for use as lightweight aggregate.
2. Laboratory and pilot plant trials carried out at CBRI, Roorkee have established that
sintered lightweight aggregate can be successfully produced from Indian fly ash and
used for producing plain concrete as well as reinforced concrete beams and slabs.
Laboratory investigations and factory trials have shown the technical feasibility of
manufacture of cellular concrete from lime and fly ash. It is more economical to produce
this cellular concrete than the cement-sand cellular concrete, which is being produced in
the country at present.
3. Fly ash can also be used as masonry mortar. The work done at CBRI suggests that
mixtures would be thicker than 1:6 (by volume) to enable them to be used as mortar. As
a masonry mortar, fly ash is used in place of Surkhi and prepared in a way similar to
68
Lime-Surkhi mortar. Lime fly ash mortars are cheaper and better in performance and
strength than Lime-Sand mortars.
d. Roads / Paving
It has been reported from the laboratory tests conducted by the Cement Association of
India that fly ash with other ingredients can be used for paving roads and airport
runways. Fly ash mixed with sand and hydrated lime is used as a base course of
asphalt pavement. The breaking strength of such a pavement is calculated to be as
high as 68 kg/sq.cm (1000 psi). As a result of a series of experiments, the mixtures of
ingredients added in the following recommended proportions gave a good paving
material with adequate strength and reasonable setting time.
Ingredients Composition by Weight (%)
Fly ash 12 – 14
Lime 2.8 – 3.6
Portland Cement 0.7 – 0.9
Sand 80 – 84.5
The above mixture developed strength from 54 to 95 kg/sq.cm (800-1400 psi) in about
90 days at a temperature of 18 deg. C to 21 deg. C. Further, the experiments have
shown that 30% of crushed stones (instead of sand) established strength of 102 – 136
kg/sq.cm (1500-2000 psi). The total cost of manufacturing the paving mixture comes to
about one and half that of ordinary road stone which has much less strength and to less
than one third the cost of lime concrete which has good strength. Even the extra
strength obtained by using 30% crushed stones as a substitute for sand; the cost is not
expected to exceed that of conventional materials.
Fly Ash Aggregate
20. The fly ash can be converted to light weight aggregate which can substitute the presently
used conventional aggregate, in concrete blocks, flooring and non-load bearing
structures such as compound walls, canals, pavements, etc. The main components of
the process are fly ash, calcium oxide, fresh water quenched bottom ash (optional),
sand, water and chemically bonding additives. The calcium from lime reacts with silica
and alumina in fly ash to produce calcium / aluminium materials in a reaction similar to
that of Portland Cement. These minerals bond the fly ash particles tightly so that hard,
69
strong and practically unleachable pellets are formed. These pellets are heated at low
temperature to cure them.
It may be noted that proportions of different ingredients to make bricks / cellular

concrete / briquettes with fly ash chiefly depends on the constituents of the particular fly
ash. Therefore, the particular type of fly ash is to be analysed for the properties of its
constituents and checked for suitability or otherwise and suitable proportions of
ingredients are to be determined by laboratory tests / pilot plant tests.
PLANTATION ON ASH DISPOSAL AREA
21. During the periods of ash dumping, the vegetation can be grown on the ash bund.
Growth of vegetation around the ash disposal area can prevent wind carrying away the
exposed ash. Some type of trees and shrubs which will be grown on the ash are
furnished below:
Trees Shrubs
a) Alder a) Southern wood

b) Honey locust b) Tree purslane
c) Sitka spruce c) Barberry
d) White poplar d) Bladder senna
e) Black poplar e) Oleaster
f) Willow f) Heather
g) Gold flowering current
h) Tamarisk

19. The boiler blow down does not require treatment to achieve the limits but relies on
operating at sufficient blow down levels to prevent the build up of contaminants. Also, by
operating with proper chemistry in the condensate and feed water systems, copper and
iron are not present in significant quantities in the blow down stream. The boiler blow
down is also directed to the guard pond.
Water Treatment Plant Effluent

21. The effluent from the regeneration of the cation resin units in the water treatment plant
(DM Plant) are generally acidic in nature and from the anion resin units are alkaline in
nature. The combined wastewater from the DM plant would be neutralised in a
neutralising pit. The neutralised effluent is expected to have suspended solids less than
5 ppm and pH in the range of 6.5 to 8.5. This would be led to the guard pond.
105
21. Coal Pile Area Run off
The coal pile area run off water during monsoon season would be led to a separate
pond. Coal particles will settle down in the pond and clear water would be allowed to
flow into the ash water tank.
Effluent from Bottom Ash Handling System

22. The drain and overflow water from the bottom ash handling system would be collected
at the bottom ash sump where the ash would settle down and clarified ash water
overflows to clear well section of the basin. This clear water would be sent to the guard
pond.
Plant Wash Down Water

23. In the power plant, some specific locations require washing to maintain good plant
house keeping and prevent build up of dirt and waste material. The waste water would
be led to the bottom ash sump.
Floor and Equipment Drainage System Effluent

24. The function of this system is to provide a means for collecting and draining water from
floors in process areas of the plant and collecting and disposing of water and other
liquids from process equipment, discharged fire protection water and oil storage tanks.
25. In the turbine building, the ground floor slabs would be sloped to drain out floor drains.
The equipment drains are piped directly to the drain system. Drains are collected and
directed to sumps outside the buildings from where it would be pumped to the bottom
ash sump.
Rain (Storm) Water Drainage

26. The rain (storm) water removed from the building roofs and yard area grade level
surfaces would be directed through the open ditches and culverts to the storm drainage
piping. All ditches would be concrete lined and located along the roads. All drainage
ditches will be located to provide the shortest practical drainage path while providing
efficient drainage for the yard. Grade level would be contoured such that storm water
run off is directed on the ground by sheet flow, to well defined drainage paths leading to
the ditches.
106
Sewage from Various Buildings in the Plant
27. Sewage from various buildings in the power plant area would be conveyed through
separate drains to septic tanks. The effluent from septic tanks would be disposed off in
the soil by providing dispersion trenches. There would be no ground pollution because
of leaching. Sludge shall have to be removed and disposed off as land fill.
Monitoring of Ground water

28. Four bore-wells would be identified inside / outside the plant premises to monitor the
ground water quality as per IS : 10500 (1991).
THERMAL POLLUTION
29. CW system blow down would be tapped off from the CW return header and led to sea
through a CW channel. Since the CW channel is around 1.0 km long, the CW blow
down water is expected to be cooled to around 7 deg.C before joining the sea. In view
of the same no additional provision to cool the blow down water is envisaged.
NOISE POLLUTION
Source of Noise Pollution
30. The source of noise in a power plant are :
- Steam turbine generator

- Other rotating equipment
- Combustion induced noises
- Flow induced noises
- Steam safety valves
Regulations for Limiting Noise Pollution : Indian Standards

31. As per the Environmental Protection Rules as well as OSPCB, the limits in the noise
levels are :
Industrial area : 75 dB (A) in day time (6 AM to 9 PM)
: 70 dB(A) in night time (9 PM to 6 AM)

32. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standards (OSHA), USA
indicate the following permissible noise at 1.5 m distance from the equipment:
107
----------------------------------------------------------------
Duration per Day (Hours) Sound Level (dBA)
----------------------------------------------------------------
8 90
6 92
4 95
3 97
2 100
1.5 102
1 105
0.5 110
0.25 115
---------------------------------------------------------------
33. All the equipment in the power plant will be designed / operated to have the noise level
not exceeding 85 - 90 db (A) measured at a distance of 1.5 m from the equipment. Also,
all the measures will be taken to limit the noise levels at the plant boundary with in the
stipulated limits.
POLLUTION MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS
34. The emission and gas monitoring systems installed in this Project consist of the
following:
(a) Flue Gas O2 and CO Monitoring : These will be measured at the economiser
outlet. In addition, O2 will be monitored at the air pre heater outlet. For this
purpose, CO and O2 monitor probes and analysers will be installed separately.
(b) Stack emissions : Flue gas exiting into the atmosphere will be monitored for
CO2, NOx , SO2 and Opacity. Stack emission readings will be sent to the DCS for
monitoring. For this purpose, dilution probes, associated gas analysers and
support equipment, sample lines and Opacity sensor / transmitters will be
installed. The Opacity sensors will be equipped with a blower to protect the
optics from coating by flue gas particles.
The system operation will be continuous. Stack gas analysis for SO2, CO2 and
NOx will be performed by extracting a gas sample from the flowing stream in the
108
stack, filtering to remove particulate droplets, diluting with scrubbed instrument
air and conveying the sample to the analysers.
One sampling system per unit will be provided.
Air Monitoring
35. Air Monitoring Stations (AMS) would be set up to monitor the air quality in the
neighbouring villages. The parameters being monitored are suspended particulate
matter (SPM), respirable particulate matter (RPM), Sulphur di-oxide (SO 2), Nitrogen
Oxide (NOx), Carbon monoxide (CO) and Hydro carbons (HC). The air quality
monitoring is being carried out continuously including the times during which power
plant boiler firing with 100% coal as test firing is done.
GREEN BELT
36. In the proposed power plant, for raising plantation adequate saplings would be planted
in side the power plant.
IMPACT OF POLLUTION/ENVIRONMENTAL DISTURBANCE

37. Since all necessary pollution control measures to maintain the emission levels of dust
particles, Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides within the permissible limits would be
taken and necessary treatment of effluents would be carried out, there would be no
adverse impact on either air or water quality in and around the power station site on
account of installation of the proposed plant.
ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE
38. Appendix - 3 gives the environmental appraisal for the proposed power plant in the
format required by the National Committee on Environmental Planning and Co-
ordination.
