Back Ground:
Ministry of Coal (MOC) has allotted Machhakuta coal block on February 6, 2006 to Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited (MSPGCL) and
Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL) for developing an opencast coal mine for power generation at linked power plants at Koradi, Chandrapur,
Parli, Paras and Bhusawal in Maharashtra and Ukai and Wanakbori in Gujarat.Mahaguj Collieries Limited (MGCL), a Joint venture of MSPGCL and GSECL
signed a MOU on December 30, 2005 to extract coal from Machhakuta Coal Block, Talcher Coalfields, Machhakuta, Tehsil Chhendipara, District Angul,

Washery Process
Raw Coal Receiving, Crushing and Storage Section
Receiving ROM coal through CHP and stocking in two stock yards of 25,000 Tonnes capacity each
Transportation of ROM coal to hoppers (2 no) of 1000 T capacity
Conveying of (-)100 mm raw coal by two parallel belts of 1200-mm width & 1000 TPH capacity each to screen-cum-crusher house to crush below
50-mm size & conveying to washery building
a.
Washery Section
Screening of (-) 50 mm raw coal at 13-mm & washing of 50-13 mm size fraction in two- product electronically controlled jigs to produce clean coal &
rejects
b.
Beneficiation & Recovery of Fines
Separation of coarser fines (-0.5 mm) from slurry in hydrocylones. Dewatering underflow slurry from hydrocylones in high frequency screens
Thickening or overflow slurry from hydrocylones in two 25 m dia thickeners.
Dewatering of thickened slurry in two nos. belt filter press
Recirculation of under & over flow waters from thickener / slime ponds in washery circuit
c.
Loading of Washed Coal
(-13mm) coal fraction and coarser fines will be mixed with & then conveyed to clean coal stock yard
