2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND IMPORTANCE TO THE REGION
Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel. India is blessed with huge coal reserve, nearly 7% of
total coal in the world, 85% of this reserve is non-coking coal, which caters to the need of
power, cement and sponge iron plants, however most of these reserve are of very low
grade coal and the reserve of good quality coal is fast depleting.
The Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries are the major domestic producers and
suppliers of coal in India. The annual requirement of non-coking coal for various
industrial sectors like power, steel and cement is increasing day by day. The reserves oflow
ash good coal are depleting and hence in order to fulfill industry’s demand, hugereserves
of inferior grade coal are being mined. Due to higher demand, selectiveminingis not

possible. The average ash in coal, now being supplied is around37%.Inordertomaintain a
consistent quality of coal as per the requirements of variouscustomersofcoal, it is
necessary to set up coal washing plants in the country.
Based on the above facts, it is felt that washing of coal in the present scenario shall helpus
in achieving the operational efficiency and better plant performance. Hence, washingof
coal is in the national as well as regional interest.
The use of washed coal has the following advantages:
Increased generation efficiency, mainly due to the reduction in energy loss as inert
material passes through the combustion process.
Increased plant availability.
Reduced investment costs.
Reduced operation and maintenance (O&M) costs due to less wear and reduced
costs for fuel and ash handling.
Energy conservation in the transportation sector and lower transportation costs.
Less impurities and improved coal quality.
Reduced load on the air pollution control system; and
Reduction in the amount of solid waste that has to be disposed off.
Present proposal of Coal Washery unit will generate revenues for the State Government
byway of taxes on coal and benefit the local people by way of direct and
indirectemployment.
2.4 DEMAND – SUPPLY GAP
Ministry of coal identified coal washing as an important area aiming at value addition. To
reap the benefits of economics as well as environment, Coal India limited is planning to
expand the capacity of thermal coal.

3.5 MANUFACTURING PROCESS
3.5.1 COAL WASHERY
• Sized Raw Coal [(-) 50 mm] from the existing dry circuit will be transported to an
intermediate storage bunker.
• From the intermediate storage bunker, sized raw coal will be fed to the Washing Plant
building through belt conveyor. The sized raw coal will be fed into a Banana Screen.
• The first part of Banana Screen will dry screen raw coal at 8 mm to separate (–)8 mm
fraction which will be taken to a ground dump and will be mixed with washed coal. The
second part of the banana screen will wet screen the raw coal at (–)1 mm for
desliming.
• The deslimed coal [coarser fraction of (-)50 (+)1mm] goes to the HM process. The
magnetite media of required specific gravity will be added in the heavy media process
to get mixed with the coal.
• The Bath / cyclone will have overflow and underflow. The washed coal along with
magnetite media will be received as overflow, from the Bath / cyclone and will be fed
to a set of washed coal sieve bend and Washed Coal Drain & Rinsing Screen.

• The Magnetite media separated through sieve bend and first part of the screen and
will be collected in the screen’s dense under pans. The same will be circulated back to
the system.
• The carried away magnetite with the coal particles are removed by water spraying in
the discharge part of the screens.
• The magnetite removed from coal by water spraying will be collected in the dilute
catch pan of screen as dilute media. The magnetite from dilute media will be recovered
through Wet Drum Magnetic Separator.
• The washed coal collected at discharge end of screen will then be transported to
storage bunker through belt conveyor.
• The reject from the HM Bath / cyclone will be fed to a drain and rinsing screen to take
out the media and then transported to the bunker through belt conveyor.
• The underflow from desliming screen collected in the fine coal sump will be pumped to
a back to classifying cyclone. The underflow of classifying cyclone will be dewatered in
High Frequency screen.
• The overflow of classifying cyclone will be taken to the Thickener. Effluent from High
Frequency Screen and Belt Press Filter will also be taken to the Thickener.
• The clarified water from the thickener overflow will be recycled as process water and
fed to the plant.

Advantages of Washed Coal
Below mentioned are the uses of Washed/Beneficiated Coal:
In the process of washing the coal the abrasive non-coal matter like stones and shale
will be removed from the ROM coal. As such use of washed coal in the Sponge Iron
plant will result in less wear and tear of the Machinery. The life of the Rotary Kiln will
be prolonged with the use of washed coal.
Due to the uniform size of the washed coal and the uniform quality (Ash content
being more or less uniform with a very little variation) as compared to much larger
variation in the quality of Raw Coal form the coal mines, the operating parameters of
manufacturing the sponge iron can be better regulated. Together with this and with
Hind Energy & Coal Beneficiation (India) Pvt. Ltd.

the increased heat value of washed coal the productivity of the Rotary Kiln will
increase by 15 to 20%
Use of cleaner coal will improve the environmental conditions.
Less production of char from the Kiln (which contains un-burnt coal & other
nonmagnetic material), gives some sort of rid from its disposal.

3.5.2 JUSTIFICATION OF CHANGE IN TECHNOLOGY FROM DRY TYPE TO WET TYPE
• The existing Dry process has limited scope for ash reduction.
• The misplacement of good quality coal as Rotary Discard is high since some good
quality coal is not broken inside Rotary Breaker and report to Rotary Discard. This in
turn leads to loss of yield.
• Smaller pieces of stones and shales report to the sized coal fraction leading to higher
ash in beneficiated coal and as a result the dry process is not able to maintain
consistent product quality.
• To overcome these problems enumerated above, it has been proposed to change the
beneficiation process from existing dry circuit (2.4 MTPA) to wet process (2.4 MTPA)
with Heavy Media process.
• In various tender pre-qualification technical requirement, it is clearly mentioned that
bidder should have its own coal beneficiation plant using wet technology i.e. Heavy
Media Cyclone / Heavy Media Bath.
• At present the quality of ROM coal is deteriorating day by day and in future we shall
not be able to fulfill the required ash quality to the customers.
The Heavy Media process will have the following advantages over the dry process:
• Maximum ash reduction can be achieved without any problem.
• Heavy Media process is ideally suited to treat high ash Indian Coal with high Near
Gravity Material (NGM).
• The process is capable of achieving low misplacement of good coal to rejects as well as
rejects to beneficiated product.

3.6 RAW MATERIAL REQUIREMENT
Run of mines [ROM] coal will be the raw material requirement for proposed washery.
3.7 MODE OF TRANSPORT FOR RAW MATERIALS AND FINISHED PRODUCTS
Desired quantum of ROM coal will be transported through covered trucks or rail
routesfrom coal mines. Washed coal and Rejects will be transported either through
covered trucks or rail routes.
MODE OF TRANSPORTATION OF WASHED COAL
Washed coal from the plant will be transported by road in covered trucks directly to the
customer (or) by rail. The mode of transport of washed coal will depend on the MoU with
the customers who may have either road transport or rail transport. All the trucks
required for transportation of coal will be covered and environmentally compliant. Pucca
road exist upto the site. The existing road is capable of absorbing this additional truck
movement. Hence there will not be any significant adverse impact on air environment due
to the transportation of raw coal & washed coal.
Avenue plantation will be taken up along the road to prevent the fugitive emissions.
Hence there will not be any significant by fugitive dust generation during transportation of
raw materials & product. The existing road is capable of absorbing this additional truck
movement. Hence there will not be any adverse impact on vehicular traffic due to the
proposed project.

6.2 RESIDENTIAL AREA (NON PROCESSING AREA)
No colonization is proposed; however facilities like canteen, rest room facilities will be
provided in the proposed plant and one Admin building is also proposed.
6.3 GREEN BELT
More than 1/3rd of total land availability is reserved for plantation i.e. greenery.
Greenbelt development plan
Local DFO will be consulted in developing the green belt.
Greenbelt of 33% of the area will be developed in the plant premises as per CPCB
guidelines.
10 m wide greenbelt is being maintained all around the plant.
The tree species to be selected for the plantation are pollutant tolerant, fast
growing, wind firm, deep rooted. A three tier plantation is proposed comprising of
an outer most belt of taller trees which will act as barrier, middle core acting as air
cleaner and the innermost core which may be termed as absorptive layer
consisting of trees which are known to be particularly tolerant to pollutants.
6.4 SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Social infrastructure will be developed as per need based in the Villages of the close
vicinity of the project.
