2 NEWS CLIPPINGS 2 1-APRIL Scarcity of water for thermal power projects is likely to affect electricity generation in Maharashtra in summer. The dipping lake levels might force the Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited (MahaGenco) to shut down a 250 mega watt (MW) set at the Paras thermal Power station in May. 2-In April 2010, lack of sufficient water in the Erai dam, which supplies water to the 2,340MW Chandrapur super thermal power station, had led to the partial shutdown of the plant, which had further compounded the power crisis in the state during summer

8 8 Sustainability The earth, the air, the land and the water are not an inheritance from our fore fathers but on loan from our children. So we have to handover to them at least as it was handed over.. There is a sufficiency in the world for man s need but not for man s greed.. Mahatma Gandhi

9 9 Sustainable Development Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (WCED, 1987).

38 Methods of Water Conservation in 38 Power Plant 1.Modification of Processes and Parameters A - Once through to closed loop cooling system

39 Methods of Water Conservation in 39 Power Plant 1.Modification of Processes and Parameters B - Increasing Cycle of Concentration ( COC) -Normally designed for a COC of around 3. - COC of even 10 can be reached

40 Methods of Water Conservation in Power Plant 1.Modification of Processes and Parameters C -Dry or Hybrid cooling technology -Can be used in water scarce areas -There is a increase in capital costs and decrease of performance 40

41 41 New Air-Cooled Power Plants Worldwide Number of New Plants Built with Dry Cooling

42 Methods of Water Conservation in 42 Power Plant 1.Modification of Processes and Parameters D -Dry Ash Evacuation system - Use of High Conce Slurry Disposal (HCSD) for fly ash -Wet ash handling through slurry can also be shifted to dry ash handling by use of hydro bins where water is separated from the ash slurry within the plant and the dry lumps are conveyed to the ash dykes through conveyer belts

43 Methods of Water Conservation in 43 Power Plant 1.Modification of Processes and Parameters E- Optimizing Ash Water ratio Typical design of ash water ratios are around 1:5 for fly ash and 1:8 for bottom ash. However, the actual combined ash water ratios are found to be around1:20 or even more.

44 Methods of Water Conservation in 2-Reuse of water Power Plant Wastewater can be re-used directly in other operations provided the level of contamination from the previous process does not interface with the subsequent process 44

45 Methods of Water Conservation in 45 Power Plant 3-Regeneration and Reuse By Regeneration contamination can be removed partially and this water can be reused in other processes.

46 Methods of Water Conservation in 46 Power Plant 4- Regeneration and Recycle Regeneration Recycling refers to the situation where water is re-used in an operation through which it has already passed. In this case, the regeneration step must be capable of removing contaminants which build up in the system.

47 Methods of Water Conservation in 47 Power Plant 5-Other Methods Reducing drinking water consumption The per capita water consumption in township liter/day/person WHO norms of 115 liter/day/person A luxury in majority of the colonies. Lack of awareness.

48 Methods of Water Conservation in 48 5-Other Methods Power Plant Reducing leaks and over flows Leakages from valves, taps, fire fighting hoses, underground fire fighting lines, cooling tower basin, gardening hoses area also a source of water loss. Overflows from cooling towers of AC plants, and overhead tanks due to non-functioning of float systems are also a common feature in thermal power plants. There lies a possibility of reducing the water consumption by plugging the leakages

49 Methods of Water Conservation in 49 5-Other Methods Waste water recycling Power Plant The installation of wastewater treatment plants will enable recycling per cent of the wastewater generated which can be used for purposes like gardening, green belt development, dust suppression and fire fighting.

64 64 Road Map for Water Sustainability

65 Road Map for Sustainability 65 (Actionable ) Once through cooling system should be changed to closed cycle system Wet ash handling system should be changed to dry system. Overflows should be recycled, leakages plugged, and wastewater reduced. Firefighting water must not be used for any other purpose. Township water supply has to be rationalized and supply and tariff norms to be set

66 Road Map for Sustainability 66 (Actionable ) For zero water discharge,wastewater is to be treated and recycled. Automation for flow measurement and water quality for MIS.

67 Roadmap for Sustainability 67 (Policy) Water audit should be made mandatory.because What is not measured,can not be controlled To improve water-use efficiency across industry, a central monitoring agency, viz., Bureau of Water Efficiency is to be set up in line with BEE. Agency should train and certify water auditors Water use standards for thermal power plant must be established considering economic and social viability Independent Water Regulators are to be appointed for water consumption and pricing in different sectors

68 CONCLUSION 68

69 CONCLUSION 69 Freshwater resources and reliable electrical energy are inextricably linked. Thermoelectric generation requires a sustainable, abundant, and predictable source of water. Power plants will increasingly compete for freshwater with the domestic, commercial, agricultural, & other industrial consumers. Due to capacity addition and size of NTPC, current technology needs should be further leveraged with state-of-the-art systems for recycling, reuse and reduction of water.

70 CONCLUSION 70 After tax audits & mandatory corporate social responsibility norms, the government is set to introduce mandatory water audit and yearly water footprint disclosures in annual reports. This will encourage Indian companies to adopt the best International practices on water use efficiency for Sustainable Growth. Access to water and water availability remains a key factor in ensuring the sustainable development of India. The efforts by NTPC UNCHAHAR to use this precious resource more efficiently are an integral part of the top management s commitment to sustainable development
