Coal A combustible sedimentary rock composed primarily of carbon

Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams. Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is formed if dead plant matter decays into peat and over millions of years the heat and pressure of deep burial converts the peat into coal. Vast deposits of coal originates in former wetlands—called coal forests—that covered much of the Earth's tropical land areas during the late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) and Permian times.

Power Plant

Ramagundam B Thermal Power Station has an installed capacity of 62.5 MW (single unit). The unit was commissioned in October, 1971 with the financial assistance of U.S.A.I.D with the project cost of Rs 14.8 crores. [1]

With the installation of Electrostatic precipitator in 1987 under the R&M Scheme, the problems associated with ID Fan etc. has been overcome and station has been running satisfactorily.

Electrostatic precipitator a filtration device that removes fine dust particles from a flowing gas using the force of an induced electrostatic charge through the patriculate matter being collected

An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a filtration device that removes fine particles, like dust and smoke, from a flowing gas using the force of an induced electrostatic charge minimally impeding the flow of gases through the unit.

The station has achieved the height plant load factor in all India level for four times in the group of 62.5 MW to 63.5 MW units.
