Brief Description of the Plant
Giral Lignite Power Limited is situated about 12Kms from village Bhadka at Barmer-Jaisalmer
National Highway. Total installed capacity of the plant is 2x125 MW.The principal raw material is lignite and
light diesel oil and furnance oil is also used to start & to maintain temperature as and when required.
1- Process Involved in Power Generation:- Lignite having 6% sulphur from near by RSMM mines are
unloaded at stock pile area through dumpers. The lignite is crushed in crusher and is transported
through conveyer belt to lignite bunkers from which lignite is feed in to combustor. This lignite with the
help of air supplied through PA &SA fans, is burn in the combustor in which temperature of 800-850 o C is
being maintained during the operation of the unit.
This is circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) based technology wherein large portion
of flue gases with heavy particles are returned beck to combustor with the help of 2 nos of cyclones. The
combustor is having sufficient quantity of bed material, which is being fluidized with the help of the
primary air, which helps in combustion of lignite and flue gases from the furnace are extracted by
induced draft fan which maintains balance draft in the furnace. These flue gases emits their heat energy
to water tubes located in combustor, and in the second pass and finally passes through air pre heater
and goes to electro static precipitator where the ash particles are extracted. Electro-Static Precipitator
consists of metal plates which are electrically charged. Ash particles are attracted on to these plates, so
that they do not pass through the chimney to pollute the atmosphere. Regular mechanical hammers
blows cause the accumuled of ash to fall to the bottom of the precipitator where they are collected in a
hopper for disposal.
2- STEAM TO POWER:- A steam pipe conveyers steam to the turbine through a stop valve (Which can be
used to shut off steam in emergency ) and through control valve that automatically regulate the supply of
steam to the turbine. Stop valve and control valves are located in a steam chest and a governor driven,
shaft operates the control valves to regulate the amount of steam used. (This depends upon the speed
of the turbine and the amount of electricity required from the generator).
Steam from the control valve enter the high pressure cylinder of the turbine, where it passes
through a ring of stationary blades fixed to the cylinder wall. These act as nozzle and direct the steam in
to a second ring of moving blades mounted on a disc secured to the turbine shaft. This second ring turn
the shaft as a result of the steam. The stationary and moving blades together constitute a “Stage” of the
turbine and in practice many stages are necessary, so that the cylinder contains a number of ring of
stationary blades with ring of moving blades arranged between them.
The steam passes through each stage in turn until it reaches the end of the high pressure
cylinder and in its passage some of its heat energy is changed into mechanical energy.
The steam leaving the high pressure cylinder goes back to the boiler for reheating and returns
by a further pipe to the intermediate pressure cylinder. Here it passes through another series of
stationary and moving blades.
Finally the steam is taken to the low pressure cylinder, in which it enters at the center flowing

8
outwards in opposite directions through the rows of turbine blades (An arrangement known as double
flow) to the extremities of the cylinders. As the steams give up its heat energy to drive the turbine its
temp., and pressure fall and it expands. Because of this expansion the blades are much large and longer
towards the low pressure end of the turbine.
The turbine shaft usually rotates at 3000 RPM (Revolution Per Minutes).This speed is
determined by the frequency of the electrical system used in the country and is the speed at which a-2-
polegenerator must be driven to generate alternate current at a frequency of 50 cycle per second.
When as much energy as possible has been extended from the steam it is exhausted directly to
the condenser. Cold water is circulated through these tubes and as the steam from the turbine passes
round them it is rapidly condensed into water (Condensate).Because water has a much smaller
comparative volume then steam, a vacuum is created in the condenser. This allow the steam to reduce
down to pressure below that of the normal atmosphere and more energy can be utilized.
From the condenser, the condensate is pumped through low pressure heaters by the extraction
pump, after which its pressure is raised to boiler pressure by the boiler feed pump. It is passed through
further feed heater to the economizer and the boiler reconversion into steam
3- SWITCHING AND TRSANSMISSION. The electricity is usually produced in the stator winding of large
modern generator at 11000V and is fed through terminal connections to on side of a generator
transformer that steps up to the voltage to 220000 volts. From here conductors carry it to a series of
there switches comprising as isolator, a circuit breaker and another isolator. The circuit-breaker, which is
a heavy duty switch capable of operating in a fraction of a second, is used to switch of the current
flowing to the transmission lines. Once the current has been interrupted the isolators can be opened.
These isolate the circuit-breaker from all out-side electrical sources, so that there is no chance of any
high voltage being applied to its terminals. Maintenance or repair work can then be carried out in safety.
Circuit-breaker work like combined switches and fuses but they have certain special features
and are very different from the domestic switch and fuse. When electrical current is switched off by
separating two contacts an arc is created between them. At the voltage used in the home the arc is very
small and only lasts for a fraction of a second but at the high voltages used for transmission, the size and
power of the arc is considerable and it must be quickly quenched to prevent damage.
One type of circuit-breaker has its contact immersed in insulating oil so that when the switch
is opened, either by powerful electrical coils or mechanically by springs the arc is quickly extinguished by
the oil. Another type works by compressed air which operate the switch and at same time ‘blow-out’ the
arc.
Three wires are used in a ”Three Phase” system for large power transmission as it is
cheaper than the two wire “Single Phase” system that supplies the home.
The center of the power station is the control room. Here Engineers monitor the out put of
electricity, supervising and controlling the operation of generating plant and high voltage switch gear
and directing power to the grid system as required. Instruments on the control panels show the out put
and conditions which exists on all the main plant and a miniature diagram indicate precise state of the
electrical system.

CHLORINE
TOXICITY
Chlorine is corrosive. It reacts with body moisture to form corrosive acids. Chlorine gas is primarily
a respiratory irritant. Concentration above 3 to 5 ppm by volume in air is readily detectable by a
normal person. Inhalation of chlorine may cause respiratory injury.
ACUTE EFFECT
The first symptom of exposure to chlorine is irritation to the mucous membranes of eyes, nose and throat
which increase to smarting and burning rain. Irritations spread to the chest. A reflex cough develop which may be
intense and often associated with pain behind the breastbone. The cough may lead to vomiting. If the duration of
exposure or the concentration of chlorine is excessive, it will cause restlessness, throat irritation, sneezing and
copious salvation. In extreme cases, lung tissues may be attected resulting in pulmonary edema, full of blood
pressure.
EFFECT OF CHLORINE AT VARIOUS CONCENTRATIONS

PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT.
1. Introduction.
In industry when a potential hazard gets out of hand and may affect the safety of people who are in its
ranges, suitable protective devices are required to be used. The personal protection equipments do not
eliminate a hazard however these devices are designed to interpose an effective barrier between a person
and harmful objects sustance of radiation. When we deal with chlorine and ammonia one may expose to
hazards which can be harmful to his respirating tract and other body parts.
2. Requirement of P.P.E:-
Suitably of PPE can be listed as under:-
1. Adequate protection against the hazards to which the works will be exposed.
2. Maximum comfort and minimum capability with protective efficiency
3. No restriction in essential.
3. TYPE OF PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS:-
Personal protective equipments are classified as under:-
Respiratory protective equipments.
This appliances can further be classified in two classes:-
1- Air Purifying type.
2- Supplied Air Type.
1- Air Purifying type.
In this type of appliance according to the degree of respiratory hazard, that is, the concentrations of the
toxic gas present one may opt for either CARTRIDGE TYPE GAS MASK or CANISTER TYPE GAS MASK.
The cartridge or canister are filled with appropriate chemicals to be used in a particular gas. When the
chemical exhausts Cartridge/Canister should be replaced with a fresh one.
2- Supplied Air type. In this type these equipments are covered which are capable of providing
respiratory protection in any concentration of contaminant gas as these equipments have their own source
of breathable air hence isolate the user from the contaminated atmosphere. To accomplish it, either the air
source (a compressed air cylinder) remain with the user in that case it is known as “SELF CONTAINED
BREATHING APPRATUS”or the breathable air is supplied from plant’s service air-line/ big aircylinder/manual
or electrical air blower through a tube and mask.
NON RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS.
In this class these equipments are covered whether provide protection on the body as a whole or in part. The
details are given below:-
1- SAFETY HELMETS: - Safety helmets are used for protection of head against fall of corrosive / toxic liquids
and hard objects. These are made from thermoplastic material.
2- SAFETY GOGLES:- Safety goggles are used for protection of eyes against splash of corrosive/ toxic
liquids. These are made having one piece rubber / plastic molded frame and toughened visor.
3- FACE SHIELD:- Face shield protects the face of the user against splash of corrosive /toxic liquids. It is
available in 6”, 9” and 12” with head band.

48
4- PVC APRON:- PVC apron/ suit protect the user’s body against the splash of corrosive/ toxic liquids. These
are also available in rubber or leather. A coating of fabric or reinforcement is also available with synthetic
rubber.
5- HAND GLOVES & GUM BOOTS:-Hand gloves and gum boots protect the hand & feet of the user against
corrosive /toxic liquids. Gloves are available in leather to handle sharp objects.
6- FIRE ALLUMINISED SUIT:- This suit is made of alumished asbestos, its function is to enable a man to go
near a fire and work and to enter into flame for short duration of time. Its temperature range is 1300 o F for 5
to10 minutes and 1000 o F for 20 minutes.
