This document discusses how blending different types of coal can affect boiler performance. It outlines several key coal properties that impact performance, including volatile matter, fixed carbon, moisture, ash, and calorific value. Blending coal can control these properties to improve combustion and flame stability in boilers. For example, blending a low volatile coal with a small amount of high volatile coal can create a more stable, uniform flame. The summary also notes that high moisture, ash or fixed carbon content in the blended coal can decrease boiler efficiency. Overall, carefully blending coals can help optimize boiler performance by controlling important combustion properties.

CALORIFIC VALUE CALCULATION IN THE
ULTIMATE AND PROXIMATE ANALYSIS OF COAL 1.
Dulongs expression (Ultimate Analysis)
HHV= 81C + 342.5 (H-O/8) +22.5S (kCal/kg)
where C,H, O & S shows the Wt. % 2. Kosakas expression (Proximate Analysis) HHV = 81C + ( 96 - * W) * (Vm + W) (kCal/kg) Where is the coefficient of moisture and is used as the following values: When W < 5.0 ; = 6.5 When W 5.0 ; = 5.0 Where C, W and Vm shows the Wt. % Page 4
EFFECT OF VOLATILE MATTER ON BOILER
PERFORMANCE If the blend contains two coals with significantly different volatile contents, two flames can develop, based on the de-volatilisation of each of the blended coal. Blending of a low volatile coal with a small proportion of high volatile coal aids in flame stability and uniform heat transfer in boiler. A sudden dip in volatile matter value of the fuel due to inhomogeneous mixing of blended coals, will lower the flame temperature thereby dipping radian heat transfer in furnace. If the Carbon is relatively unreactive, this will increase the unburnt carbon in bottom ash. Page 5
EFFECT OF VOLATILE MATTER ON BOILER
PERFORMANCE When the Volatile matter of the blended coal is low, flame stability decreases (Continuous support of oil may be required for normal operation)
When the Volatile matter of the blended coal is
high, pulveriser outlet temperature is to be decreased correspondingly which will directly reduce the boiler efficiency. Page 6
EFFECT OF FIXED CARBON ON BOILER
PERFORMANCE
Fuel Ratio = Fixed carbon/ Volatile matter
When the Fuel ratio % of the blended coal is High; the unburnts in combustion will increase which leads to poor boiler efficiency.

EFFECT OF MOISTURE ON BOILER
PERFORMANCE When the moisture of the blended coal is high, coal needs more heat for drying effecting economiser and airheater sizing, pulveriser capacity reduce (more no. of mills may be required for normal operation) High moisture decreases boiler efficiency through latent and sensible heat

EFFECT OF ASH ON BOILER PERFORMANCE
The percentage of ash present in the fuel and the
characteristic of ash dictates the sizing of the furnace. Fuel with ash characteristics leading to slagging and fouling requires a conservatively sized furnace since ash quantity influences the furnace heat transfer by shielding the radiation. Flame temperature lowered by increased ash quantum. Page 9
EFFECT OF ASH ON BOILER PERFORMANCE
Indian coal contains high quantum of ash; consequently the heat released by fuel will be held up by the ash and will be released slowly and this necessitates a bigger furnace. Higher the ash quantity, greater the shielding of furnace walls. The downstream pressure parts like SH, RH, Eco are to be arranged and space in such a way that the velocities are kept low to avoid erosion. The heat from the ash will take part in heat transfer in second pass

IGNITION AND FLAME STABILITY
Low rank coals have lower ignition temperature Higher volatile content ensures flame stability Like the volatile matter yield, the heating value contained in the volatiles influences flame stability and heat release profile in a boiler. Two blended coals with same Proximate analysis may not have the same ignition and flame characteristics. Blending low and high volatile bituminous coals may result in a fuel with good combustion properties.

IGNITABILITY INDEX
I.I. = [(raw coal calorific value kCal/kg) 81 *(Fixed carbon%)]
____________________________________________ (volatile matter %) + ( moisture %) If the ignitability index is 35 or less, it is said some measures for ignitability improvement should be taken.
