Water Management for TPPs

Water is one of the key inputs for thermal power generation as it is required for multiple purposes including cooling tower, ash handling, coal dust suppression, removal of plant heat from plant auxiliaries and cycle […]

Cooling water is a significant source of water in thermal power plants (TPPs), accounting for around 80 per cent of the total water consumption. Other processes such as steam cycle, ash handling and flue gas […]

With the growing focus on optimising water use at thermal power plants (TPPs), wastewater treatment and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) technologies are fast gaining traction. The water usage norms by the Ministry of Environment, Forest, […]

The combustion of coal in thermal power plants (TPPs) generates large volumes of coal combustion residuals (CCRs), such as fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag and flue gas desulphurisation materials. These residuals are collectively referred […]

Thermal power plants (TPPs) are among the largest industrial consumers of water. With India’s rapid economic expansion in recent years, the demand for both energy and water has increased, putting the resources under increasing pressure. […]

Water is used by thermal power plants (TPPs) for a variety of purposes including process cooling in condensers, ash disposal, heat removal from plant auxiliaries, and several other plant consumptive applications. Make-up water for cooling […]

Thermal power plants (TPPs), especially coal-based power plants, are among the largest industrial water consumers. According to a study by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), TPPs are responsible for nearly 88 per cent of […]

Indian coal has high ash content, in the range of 30-45 per cent. Therefore, a lot of ash is generated by thermal power plants (TPPs) using domestic coal. Water is utilised for transferring the ash […]

Efforts to reduce, recycle and reuse water at TPPs Water plays a significant role in power generation and is required for process cooling in condensers, ash disposal, removal of heat generated in plant auxiliaries and […]

Coal-based power plants are the largest producers of pollutants such as sulphur oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. As per industry experts, the power sector in India contributed about 50 per cent of the […]

Water management is a key priority for power generation companies across the world, owing to stricter environmental regulations related to wastewater discharge and usage of treated sewage water for thermal power plants (TPPs), regional water […]

Water is one of the key inputs for thermal power generation. It is required for process cooling in the condenser, ash disposal, the removal of heat generated in plant auxiliaries, and various other plant consumptive […]
