• Ash slurry disposal pumps
• 660 m3/hr
• 4.2 kg/cm2
• Model CD-135D
• 1050 RPM
ASH HANDLING SYSTEM
• Ash handling system divided in to
following steps
Furnace bottom ash hoppers
Economizer hoppers
Air preheater hoppers
E.S.P.Hoppers
Dry
Wet
Stack hoppers
Common ash slurry sluice way trench
Ash pump house
Ash disposal lines
Ash pond
Bottom ashing hopper
• Equipment
Clinker grinders- GM-A,B,C,D –to reduce the
size of ash particles to 25 mm
Feed gates to admit the ash collection in to
feed sump
Hydro ejector water control valves(2 nos)-to
admit the H.P water to mix up with ash and
form slurry
BADV-bottom ash discharge valves(4 nos)
Flushing valves-two flushing headers with
nozzels for each half of B.A.H
Filling valves
Seal trough surrounding the hopper to
maintain the avoid the air ingress in to
boiler;
Seal trough over flow will be from BCW
water.
OPERATION OF B.A.H
Permission from U.C.B- Bottom ashing to be carried out
periodically once in 6 hrs and only when soot blowing is
not carried out to avoid the possibility of fall of clinker
Clinker grinders of corner direction A/C or B/D to be
started for clearing both halfs
Admit the H.P water to B.A.H by opening HEWCV A/C or
B/D
Ensure opening of BADVS
Open the hopper feed gates
Bottom ashing completion can be recognised after
observing the hopper level fall or by flame apperance
from sight glasses
Start flushing the hopper and discharge llines
Close the feed gates after flushing
Close the HEWCV
Stop the clinker grinders
Start filling the hopper to maintain the
hopper level and to keep the hopper
temperature with in limits
Conclude the BA operation after filling ( 15
minutes)
Interlocks with B.A.H
• Clinker grinder with reversible mechanism
if over load comes
• Pressure switch located in bottom ash
discharge line sense the high discharge
pressure indicates blockage and close the
feed gate and stop grinder
• If hydro ejector pressure insufficient, the
clinker grinder stops and hopper feed gate
closes
ASH PUMP HOUSE
• EQUIPMENT
– ASH DISPOSAL PUPS( 12 NOS)
– A series-A1,A2,A3
– B series-B1,B2,B3

– D series-D1,D2,D3
– SEAL WATER PUMPS-3 NOS
• -ASH SLURRY SUMP
• Consists of Ash plug valves( 4nos)
• Suction valves
• Discharge valves
Operation of pumps
• For starting any series
• Ensure the sump level
• P.T.W clearance
• Discharge and suction valves
• Open the ash plug valve of series
• Ensure the entry of seal water in to ash pump glands
• Start the series A1 and A2/A3
• ASH slurry is to be pumped to a distance of 3.289 K.Ms
ash pond
• The discharge pressure of each series =8 to 9 kg/cm2
Change of series
• Close the plug valve of series proposed to
be stopped and start flushing the series
and lines
• Open the plug valve of series to be taken
to service and fill the hopper.
• After thorough flushing the line, stop the
series and close the suction and discharge
valves and stop seal water
Buffer hoppers towers
• Collector tanks-4 nos-to collect the ash
mixed with H.P water
• Wetting heads-4 nos-to mix up the ash
with water
• Air washers-4 nos –to absorb the dust
falling
• CTAIV: FOR wet system
• BHAIV: FOR DRY SYSTEM
• CTWIV: to admit the H.P Water to tower
• Vacuum breakers: 450 mm HG (dry)
– 350 mm HG (wet)
– Mechanical Exhausters: 5 nos
