Pulveriser Performance & Combustion Optimization

This course on Pulveriser Performance & Combustion Optimization provides practical knowledge of pulveriser operation, performance monitoring, and combustion control in thermal power plants. It explains how coal is crushed, dried, classified, and supplied to the boiler for efficient combustion. Participants learn about pulveriser types, operating parameters, coal fineness, airflow, and mill loading. The course covers common pulveriser problems such as poor grinding, high power consumption, mill choking, and uneven coal distribution. It also focuses on combustion optimization to improve boiler efficiency and maintain stable flame conditions. Participants understand the relationship between coal quality, air-fuel ratio, furnace conditions, and combustion performance. Practical methods for improving mill performance and reducing unburnt carbon and heat losses are discussed. The course also introduces performance testing, troubleshooting techniques, and condition monitoring of pulverisers. Emphasis is placed on safe, reliable, and energy-efficient operation of coal-fired power plants. By the end of the course, participants will be better equipped to optimize pulveriser and combustion performance for improved plant efficiency and reliability.
