FOR UTILIZATION OF COAL DUST & FINES

COAL OF N.E.INDIA

Coal Mining Started in Assam in 1870.

N.E. Region constitutes only 0.37% share of Indian coal reserves.

Coal is located in the States of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya & Nagaland. Is mostly sub-bituminous, semi anthracite Coal with high calorific value between 6500-7500 k.cal/kg.

Except for Coking units there are no Coal - Value Addition based Industries in N.E.India.
Coal is extensively used as Fuel by the Cement Sector, Tea Gardens, Steel Rolling Mills.

SOME PROBLEMS OF N.E.INDIA COAL

Diverse qualities from different locations & strata. Most Coals are very High in Sulphur.

Other Coals are high in Caking index.

Most are unsuitable for Metallurgical applications. Poor Mining practices generates high volume of Coal Dust, Fines & Slurry. Inconsistent quality and sizes provides poor economy to consumers.

Consumers are located far from the mining areas.

PROBLEMS OF FINE COALS OR COAL DUST

Difficulty in utilization.

High loss as unburned particles or in stack emission.

Prone to caking. Poor thermal yield. High loss during transportation. Contain high moisture / Difficult to dry. Fetch lower price than Lump Coal. Major cause of water and atmospheric pollution.

BASIC FEATURES OF COAL PELLETS.

Coal Dust is converted into hard solid lumps.

Higher energy density & thermal yield.

Easy to transport. Very low moisture < 2%. Market price at par or higher than Coal Lumps. Better combustion efficiency. Can be made from 3-60mm Coal Dust . Can utilize Coal Slurry in mixture.

Additional Features of Coal Pellets

Pellet size can be changed as per requirement.

Chemistry of the Pellets can be controlled.

High Sulphur Coal can be Pelletized with sorbent. Higher Calorific Value if blended with Plastic waste. Coal can also be blended with Biomass like sawdust to improve energy density. Coal pellets are resistant to rain & water. Not prone to spontaneous combustion.

BENEFITS OF COAL PELLETS

Miners: Get better price for Coal Dust.

Boiler Users: Complete Burnout of Coal without unburnt lumps or fines falling through the grating.
Tea Gardens: No Coal caking on the Stoker grate.

Sponge Iron Industry: Where Coal fines caking and pollution is a major problem.
Environment: Reduces Coal Dust, Slurry and Black Smoke.

MANUFACTURING OF COAL PELLETS

Low Investment in Machinery.

Low Cost of Production.

Low Manpower requirement. Flexible rate of Production from 5-35 Tons/Hr. Low Energy Requirement. Low Conversion Cost. Electricity can be generated by diesel Generator running on Coal Gas.
