Power Generation Industry is all about generating electricity from primary energy sources, such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind and hydro power. All power plants are created with one particular goal: to produce electric power as efficiently as possible. There are several types of power plants depending mainly on the sources of energy that are used. Among them, solar, wind and hydro energy are considered as the clean, sustainable and renewable energy.
The percentage of electricity generated by the clean energy sources is on the rise as governments around the world are making the Net Zero Emission committments by 2050. However, fosil fuels are still the dominant energy source currently. In 2022, more than 60% of electricity was generated by Thermal Power Plants by burning fosil fuels (natural gas, coal and oil), and only 27% of electricity was generated by clean energy sources.
Air pollution from Thermal Power Plants contains more than 80 hazardous air pollutants, including arsenic, chromium, lead, formaldehyde, acid gases, dioxins and furans. These pollutants cause cancer; damage the eyes, skin and breathing passages; harm the kidneys, lungs, and nervous system; cause cardiovascular disease. They harm people not only near the plants, but also hundreds of miles away. Thermal Power Plants also emit mercury into the air, which falls into waterways and accumulates in fish that families eat. This potent neurotoxin causes permanent damage to the brains of babies and children, leading to developmental delays, learning disabilities and birth defects. Less talked about are the impacts of the acid gases these plants emit. They spew out of the smokestacks as gases but change into deadly particle pollution in the atmosphere. Particle pollution alone worsens asthma, triggers heart attacks, causes lung cancer and shortens lives.
It’s crucially important to keep the dust collection systems at their peak performance at Thermal Power Plants in order to keep the dust emission contained and controlled.
In thermal power plants coal is burnt to heat the boiler to a high temperature to produce steam. This super heated steam is used to rotate a steam turbine to which a power generator is connected resulting in the generation of electricity.
To generate electricity power plants use different processes which result in the particulate matter being released into the environment causing a high degree of air pollution. Thermal power plants are a major source of air pollution in many countries across the globe. The pollution caused by these power plants is severe enough people who are residing near power plants are more prone to respiratory illnesses as they have a comparatively higher exposure to particulate matter. The PM 10 and PM 2.5 levels of the surrounding area are usually higher than the prescribed limits.
Coal storage, coal handling, boiler, ash handling, ash storage, ash discharge and transportation are the major contributors to the release of particulate matter from thermal power plants. Dust emissions from thermal power plants usually have the following characteristics:
● Massive discharge mainly at the fuel combustion stage
● Complex composition: more than 80 hazardous air pollutants, including sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon dioxide (CO2), acid gases and mercury
● High moisture at high temperature
For almost 20 years, we’ve earned a reputation for reliability in power generation plants. Our customers count on us in the most challenging applications where failure is not an option.
