B. Other Technical Features:
1.00.00 Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) System
1.01.00 System Description:
The FGD system shall be based on Wet Limestone Forced Oxidation process. Gas from
suitable point on ID fan discharge duct shall be taken to the Absorber. Clean gas from the
Absorber shall be taken through mist eliminators. Treated flue gas from the Absorber shall
be discharged to chimney (Employer Scope). Gypsum from Absorber shall be pumped by
dedicated gypsum bleed pumps to a Gypsum Dewatering system (Employer Scope).
Washed and dewatered gypsum from the dewatering system shall be fed to a belt conveyor
and transferred to Gypsum storage building.
1.02.00 Service Conditions
The Steam Generators are designed to burn pulverised coal. HFO/HPS/LSHS and LDO shall
be used during startup and at low loads for warm up and flame stabilization of Steam
Generator. The FGD system shall be designed to remove SO2 (to meet the stipulated
SO2 efficiency levels) from the flue gas generated in the Steam Generator with pulverized
coal firing.
