A schematic diagram showing a typical coal-fired power plant is given in Fig.8-1. In very brief outline, the operation of the plant is as follows. Coal is taken from storage and fed to a pulverizer (or a mill), mixed with preheated air, and blown into the furnace, where it is burned. The furnace contains a complex of tubes and drums Section 1 Coal-Fired Power Plants called a boiler through which water is pumped, its temperature rising in the process until it evaporates into stream. The steam passes on to the turbine, while the combustion gases (flue gases) are passed through mechanical and electrostatic precipitators which removed upward of 99
