2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF PRODUCT



Village, Takhatpur Tehsil, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. The washery will produce washed coal of

an average as around 34 % (GCV 4200 – 4500 Kcal/Kg) & reject, ash content about 60%

(GCV 2200 – 2400 Kcal/Kg, useable as fuel in FBC boilers.

Total land envisaged for the proposed project is 24.78 acres (out of which 19.78 acres is in

possession of management and remaining 5.0 acres is under possession.

Khasra no. of the total land are 2947, 2948, 2949, 2950, 2951, 2952, 2953, 2958, 2959,

2959/1, 2959/2, 2750/1, 2750/2, 2753, 2751, 2755, 1815/1K, 1815/1KH, 1816/1, 1814 &

others

Total project cost envisaged for the proposed project is Rs. 35.0 Crores.

2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND IMPORTANCE TO THE REGION

Coal is the backbone of Industrial activity required by almost all the Industries as fuel like

that of power plant, sponge iron plant etc. The coal is available in different grades like A,

B, C,D, E, F depending upon the ash contents of the coal. India has to even import the coal

just because of low ash contents. In order to upgrade the quality of coal from ‘F’ grade to

‘D’ grade a coal beneficiation plant is required which are very few in numbers. The

demand forty higher grade of coal increased consequently upon the Govt. order to power

plants which required coal as the main raw materials.

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 of

low ash good coal are depleting and hence in order to fulfill industry’s demand, huge



5

reserves of inferior grade coal are being mined. Due to higher demand, selective mining

is not possible. The average ash in coal, now being supplied is around 34%. In order to

maintain a consistent quality of coal as per the requirements of various customers of

coal, 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 help

us in achieving the operational efficiency and better plant performance. Hence, washing

of 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.

Our proposed Coal Washery unit will generate revenues for the State Government by

way of taxes on coal and benefit the local people by way of direct and indirect

employment.

This project is expected to yield a positive impact on the socio - economic environment

of the region. It will also help in sustainable development of this area including further

development of physical infrastructural facilities.

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.

Starting from 1774, India has a long history of commercial coal mining. Gross coal

resources ~ 286 BT of which 114 BT in proven category. Ash content very high,

from 20 to 55% but low in sulphur content.

20 major coalfields located in east and south eastern quadrant of the country,

involving long distance rail haulages for major consumers.

The coal production is projected to reach 795 MTY in 2016-17 and further to 1500

MTY in 2031-32.

Current coal demand ~ 770 MT and growing @ 6-7% per year to 980 MT in 2016-17

and further to 1800 MT in 2031-32.

2.5 IMPORTS VS INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION

Raw coal will be obtained from SECL mines on behalf of the clients. Cost wise indigenous

production is much cheaper that the imported equivalent quality of coal.

2.6 EXPORT POSSIBLITY

No coal will be exported.

2.7 DOMESTIC / EXPORTS MARKETS

Capacity of coal washeries established in India is potentially in adequate to meet the

domestic requirement of beneficiated coal at present.

Say 2.5 MTPA

3.5 MANUFACTURING PROCESS

3.5.1 COAL WASHERY

The proposed washery is Heavy media Cyclone type of coal washery, the entire process

and operations to be carried out at the unit are described in brief as follows:

Raw Coal Receipt and Handling Arrangement

Raw coal in the size range 200-0mm, from the mines will be received by wagons at nearby

railway siding. The stock pile will have a self flowing capacity of 600-700 tons. In addition

arrangements for stocking of raw coal to an extent of 500 tons on the ground (close to the

stock pile) will also be provided. A Payloader will be used for reclamation of coal from

ground stock.

Mechanical vibratory feeders will be provided for reclamation of coal from the stock pile

for feeding to the Reclaim conveyor; which will carry the coal to the screen cum crusher

house.

The reclaim conveyor will feed the coal to a vibratory screen for screening the coal at

50mm. The 200-50 mm coal will then be fed to a 1200 mm wide picking conveyer for



13

picking/removing the shales/ stones which will be disposed off by trucks. The 200-50 mm

coal form the picking conveyor, after removal of stones, will then be fed to a double roll

crusher down to- 50mm.

The crushed coal from the crusher and the 50-0mm undersize coal from the vibratory

screen will be carried by belt conveyor to supply the coal to the washery.

Washing Section

The washery feed conveyor carrying crushed coal (50-0mm) will discharge on to a de-

sliming vibrating screen for wet-removal of coal below 0.63mm. The over flow of this

screen will be sent to a mixing box where the coal gets mixed with the magnetite medium

of required specific gravity. The coal plus magnetite from the mixing box will be pumped

to the Heavy Media Cyclone by a centrifugal pump. The HM Cyclones will separate

washed/clean coal and rejects by density. The over flow (Clean coal) form the HM cyclone

will be fed to a Draining and Rinsing horizontal vibrating screen for initial dewatering and

for removal/recovery of magnetite. The overflow of this D & R screen will then be fed to a

Vibrating Basket Centrifuge for further / final dewatering of clean coal. The underflow of

the HM cyclones (rejects) will be fed to a Draining and Rinsing horizontal vibrating screen

for dewatering and removal of media.

The magnetite with correct density, from the D & R screens for clean and rejects will be

fed to the Correct/Heavy – media sump from where it will be pumped for reuse. The dilute

media from the D & R screen will be fed to the dilute media sump from where it will be

pumped to a magnetic separator to recover the magnetite. The effluent generated after

recovery of magnetite from the magnetic separator will be pumped to a thickener to

recover process water and to thicken the slurry. The underflow forms the desliming

screens and the under flow form the thickener will be charged/transported hydraulically



14

to a tailings/slime – pond from natural drying. The clear water form this pond will be

pumped back to the system for reuse. The naturally dried material will be disposed of

manually. It is proposed to use powdered magnetite as media which will be added by

manual process.

Advantages of HM Cyclones type of washery

Due to higher efficiency of separation more yields of cleans.

The process can handle wide variation in capacity.

Specific gravity of separation can be adjusted very easily, if coal characteristics

change.

Quantity of water handled much less compared to other wet process.

Operation and maintenance is very easy.

Most suitable for coal having difficult washability characteristics.

Insensitive to variations in feed rate and / or characteristics.

Wide range of separating gravity.

Advantages of HM Cyclones type of washery

As finely ground magnetite will be used there will be higher erosion in the

pipelines. Basalt lining or extra thick pipe will reduce the problem.

In case of power failure, there will be chance of Jamming. The contents of slurry

lines are drained out to overcome this problem. The drained material is pumped

back to the system after the plant is restarted

Indian coal is of “drift” origin (unlike European, Australian or American coal which are of

“In situ” origin), hence have very high Near Gravity Material (NGM). Present of high NGM

(more than 20 units) in ROM coal, makes the washing of coal very difficult. Hence,

selection of suitable washing process is a paramount importance for Indian coal.



15

Bird’s classification of NGM with suitable washing process is indicated below:

NGM Remarks Process

0 - 7 Easy washing Jig

7 -10 Moderately difficult washing Baths, Tables, Spirals

10 – 15 Difficult washing HM Cyclone

15 – 20 Very Difficult washing HM Cyclone

20 – 25 Exceedingly Difficult washing HM Cyclone

> 25 Formidable HM Cyclone

From the above table, it is clear that HM cyclone process is the only suitable process for

treating high NGM Indian coal.

5 Yield (%) --- 70 - 75 25 - 30

6 Sulphur (%) 0.5 0.5 0.5

3.6 RAW MATERIAL REQUIREMENT

Run of mines [ROM] coal will be the raw material requirement for proposed washery.

Annual requirement of proposed washery is envisages to the tune of 25,00,000 TPA.

3.7 MODE OF TRANSPORT FOR RAW MATERIALS AND FINISHED PRODUCTS

Desired quantum of ROM coal will be transported through covered trucks or rail routes

from 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.



17

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.

3.8 RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION / RECYCLING AND REUSE

Proposed project will have close circuit water circulation system so that no effluent is

discharged in the open outside the plant boundary. All the process effluent will be

collected in the thickener. Settled slurry of the thickener will be dewatered in the Multi

Roll Belt Press Filter. The dewatered filter cake will be mixed with middling for use as fuel

for the FBC power plant. The clarified water from thickener overflow will be re-circulated

to the plant for use as process water. Only make up water requirement will be added in

the clarified water tank.

Since the plant will be designed with close circuit water system as described above, no

tailing dam will be required for treated the process effluent / tailings. However, a set of

cascading type emergency settling pond will be constructed within the plant boundary to

take care of any unforeseen situation like pipe line jamming or break down of thickener.

The clarified water from these emergency settling ponds will also be pumped back to the

plant for use as process water.

Imported equipment like centrifuge, belt press filter, high frequency screen as well as

thickener will be installed to ensure close circuit water system and also to minimize loss of

water through products, evaporation losses and conserve this precious natural resource.



18

3.9 WATER REQUIREMENT AND ITS SOURCE

Water required for the proposed coal washery will be mainly for Process and domestic

purpose. Proposed coal washery is envisaged to operate on closed circuit water, therefore

only make up water requirement has been considered.

Water required for the proposed project will be 955 KLD. Water required will be sourced

from the Ground water source. Permission will be obtained from the CGWA for drawl of

Water.

3.10 QUANTITY OF WASTE GENERATED

Closed circuit water system will be adopted in the proposed Coal washery. Hence there

will not be any wastewater generation from the process. However only wastewater

generated will be sanitary wastewater i.e. 4.0 m3/ day; which will be treated through

Septic Tanks followed sub surface dispersion trench.

3.11 SOLID WASTE GENERATION AND ITS DISPOSAL

Washery reject will be generated from the proposed coal washery. These rejects have

considerable amount of carbonaceous material hence the same will be utilized as blend

with coal to make fuel mix for generation of power and will be sold-out to nearby Power

Generating units. It is envisaged that about 0.625 MTPA of Washery Rejects will be

generated.
