Coal boiler power plant The steam produced, under pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity. In this article, we will explore in detail the role of Industrial and utility plant boiler services From boiler optimizations for coal power plants to services for industrial operations, GE Vernova provides extensive boiler service solutions. However, the complex structure and operation of these boilers require a Pulverized coal-fired boiler A pulverized coal-fired boiler is an industrial or utility boiler that generates thermal energy by burning pulverized coal (also known as powdered coal or coal dust since it is as fine as face powder in cosmetic makeup) that is blown into the firebox. Over millions of years of heat and pressure, these plant materials transformed into carbon-rich deposits we call coal. The coal-fired process requires three different steps to turn energy released from burning coal to generating electricity for consumption. See full list on coalhandlingplants. The process that does this is known as the Rankine cycle. Virtually all coal plants in current operation employ pulverized coal combustion technology, which involves grinding coal into talcum-powder fineness and then burning it to heat water into high-pressure steam that spins a turbine and drives an electrical generator. The boiler generates high pressure steam by transfering the heat of Combustion in various heat transfer sections.
